It's official, Wukong is a top tier garbage champ this season

Wukong Airlines·2/28/2019, 8:25:07 PM·13 votes·3,974 views

Funny part is in both of his roles "Top,Jungle" he's sitting on below 1% pick ratio, and below 49% win ratio Top: 0.8% - 48% w.r Jungle: 0.7% - 45% w.r

I understand there are other champs that are sitting on low win ratio and pick ratio as well, but some of these champs had it with a lot of buffs and nerfs patch over patch while wukong has been getting nerf over nerf without any sort of compensation.

But lets give Graves +3 ad because he's no longer in the top 5 junglers lmao.

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"

Riot have said Wukong's kit is problematic.

The champ needs a full rework at this point to be allowed to be relevant.

Forgetting that the last time he was viable the boards were up in arms over it and calling Riot a bunch of asshole troglodytes for allowing him to be viable.

And immediately after he was nerfed the boards then said Riot was a bunch of jackass cretins because it was OBVIOUS that the people complaining before didn't know what they were talking about.

Love that riot said his kit is too problematic but yet they have no problems buffing fucking tryn and graves Also love that riot is spending so much time on teemo and especially vi when no one fucking asked for it maybe vi since she is not great but who is asking for teemo changes.

I agree. Wukong is hot garbage and Riot should do something about him.

Hes still quite strong in low elo as a mid lane AD assassin.

So what if hes point and click? You can't remove that entirely from the game, it would be stupid. Some champs will always remain point and click.

He doesn't have ArPen on his Q btw - its armor shred and he doesn't get the benefit on the q but on attacks that are done after.

He blows up really fast if hes built assassin.

Hes really bad top.

His passive is useless.

But yeah, he can farm up, all in really well with electrocute (and guarantee the kill with youmus/flash+ult ms). Also can w into a pushed lane for surprise kills. Hes fun, snowbally, and strong, but squishy, has no escape and no passive.

Question, where are you getting your numbers because I see 50% and above at all elos bronze and above globally.
