That was the gameplay of wukong back then when he release, here few things i noticed: 1:15 Legit the dude say that he is a good at poking slow mages early in lane. 2:20 Legit as well by design wukong work with item 3057 item 3078 2:25 Monkey king make a great assassin.

So what we do get from that video that was release from almost 7 years, that MonkeyKing by design able to move to mid lane and take over the lane against slow mages like any assassin while in same time he able to work with Shen damage and the voice over himself admit he will make great assassin.

Which make me wonder why people all of sudden start to figure out that wukong kit and ability in last 2 months is good for assassin items, that is good with item 3078 as he good with item 3071 ( I remember someone made a joke of me from 3 months when i was playing with wukong + trinity saying i was trolling ) and most laughable of all that people start to think why not take MonkeyKing mid.

I start playing league in April 2017 , which make me almost new to most of old players and most of community. But what was the first champion i play and main, yes it wukong and by the design of him i saw him assassin more than anything else or more of hyper assassin back then since i was pretty newbie to the whole idea of the game, classes and such.

Anyhow people that start to play wukong now and was like never played him before make me laugh, cause it seem like they never saw that he was assassin by design even after all of this years, prove that people tend to ignore small details in gameplay of champions.

Like maybe maybe the game was meant to be like that, where every champion is playable whenever the combo allowed it to ? But why not talk about what made people eyes move over wukong right now after all of this years or ignoring him and his power ? Aside from his Q change, wukong was doing the same thing before they nerf item 3147 and buff his Q, so what happen ?

The simple answer is by the view of last 2 years include the year i started playing league and year before it, it seem like people got blinded by the whole meta of Tankers VS ADC people thought the game was design to have a boring 3 lanes to farm then all goes for 5v5 whoever got the better late game ADC and Tanker win the fight.

People never thought about anything else and kept thinking that game design for that, but honestly looking back at league before 2015 i clearly say the game was design to fit all champions and right now that what happen. ADC, Light fighters Aka Bruisers , Heavy fighters Aka Juggernauts, Mages and Tankers are all playable whit difference that countering that.(Side note maybe the weakest class right now is Tankers due to the stupid Conquer )

Tell you fun facts Any juggernaut or tanker would still give the hell to Zed MonkeyKing Evelynn Fizz Talon etc ADC still the pain for Tankers and Juggernauts. Mages are the best in controlling the fights. Assassin are the best at taking down ADC/Slow Mages. Tanky support with item 3109 item 3190 can keep your adc alive from any assassin burst.

My friend that mains mid has played Wukong for so long there. It was his anti Assassin pick for the longest time, its funny that people have just noticed how good his is... Which makes sense because he is naturally good though in this meta based on the picks of champs so he seems crazy op.

Like if the Enemy team is: Top Darius Jg Kindred Mid Zed ADC Brand Support <Insert squishy mage style>

He counters that whole team by him self.

I know right ? I always was playing wukong mid as well special against Zed Talon Yasuo Veigar for long time and i don't know why people all of sudden just open their eyes on that. Like even the pros just all of sudden notice something like that, you have a champion give you hard cc with assassin style ? But i don't know people mind set seeing that for years and ignore it.
