Wukong is disgusting to deal with when he is any more relevant than he is now. Also, a good wukong player will always be relevant. Buff him a little and he becomes a brain dead champion anyone can abuse.
Perhaps the creators wanted him to be a bruiser but his design and the current lethality items enable him as a brain dead AD assasin that has no skillshots and leaves actually no room for counter play.
Passive- just there, innate tankiness. zero strategy. Most people aren't even aware of it at any given point in the game.
Q - Empowered auto - increase range + in built %armor pen.
W - You become invisible while leaving a clone.
E - Point click dash/gap closer that deals damage
R - Pretty much a Garen's E on steroids that knocks people up. He gains MS during this btw (with Youmuus active, it's impossible to dodge)
So he has 5 spells he can't miss. And yes a point click spell is as hard as landing an auto.
It's illogical to say the chance of a misclick or a mistimed-spell creates room for counter-play cuz it actually doesn't first of all - in fact it's the farthest thing from a design that has counters and since it applies to literally every other champion (and they have to worry about skillshots + mislicks + mistimed spells)
Although I hate Zed fr, I would rather have him one shot me than have an invisible wukong do it faster and then proceed to knocking up my entire team.
You know why he has a lame passive? It's because the rest of his kit is overloaded with CC, burst damage, armor pen, and invisibility. You know why he should never get buffed and be meta? it's because that kit I just mentioned is brain-dead and can't miss.
I'm repeating my points but I'm afraid someone will bring up "WITH WUKONG YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN TO GO IN AND WHO TO TARGET"
To that I say "YEAH NO SHIT. THAT GOES FOR LITERALLY EVERY CHAMPION IN THE GAME AND THEY HAVE SKILL SHOTS TO LAND"
