Wukong URF is a glaring issue

So, I recently just completed all 10 quests for the VS event by playing only URF. Whenever Wukong MonkeyKing was present, during that time, there was a feeling of "instant-loss" or "instant-win" depending on the team he was on. Why? Because of Duskblade item 3147 and his W that allows him to go invisible. Not camouflaged. Invisible. Which means only True Sight can make him targetable again. There are only 13 champions that have the abilities to reveal anyone with True Sight.

Caitlyn Caitlyn's Yordle Snap Trap and Ace in the Hole Fizz Fizz's Chum the Waters Illaoi Illaoi's Test of Spirit Karma Karma's Renewal and Focused Resolve Kled Kled's Beartrap on a Rope and Jousting LeeSin Lee Sin's Sonic Wave Lulu Lulu's Help, Pix! Nidalee Nidalee's Prowl Prowl Rengar Rengar's Thrill of the Hunt Poppy Poppy's Keeper's Verdict Thresh Thresh's Death Sentence TwistedFate Twisted Fate's Destiny Zyra Zyra's Rampant Growth

10 of these champions can be 1-shot by Wukong's Duskblade combo. And I have to resort to abilities and not items because the Pink Ward item 2055 doesn't make Wukong targetable nor does the Oracle Lens item 3364 . So if any testing is done in the PBE at all, then either this is a glaring oversight and needs to be hotfixed or Riot doesn't truly understand the ramifications of allowing certain champions to stay in "fun" game modes. I would lean towards the former since they removed Sona from URF way back when it was first introduced. They even had a funny little quote saying she breaking the gamemode in one way or another. Please, Riot, do not move at a glacial pace when fixing this issue or you WILL see a decline in player activity after this event. And I'm not speaking for myself nor for anyone else. It just makes sense that people playing against this are going to get frustrated and quit the game altogether. I've seen people leave for less. So, Riot, if you care about keeping your player base, as much as you claim, then I implore you to hotfix Wukong out of URF as you did Sona. [poppy-wink]

Lawl, .. there are ALWAYS going to be champions that are "too strong" or "too weak" in URF.

You have to understand that mana and cooldowns are designed to be balancing mechanics.

The fact that URF drastically alters the way these mechanics function, .. or removes them all together means the game is inherently out of balance.

I'm not sure if you were in the game back before they changed it to AR (All Random) URF, but there were always a handful of champions selected in nearly every single game because people quickly discovered who was strong and who wasn't.

Because of this, Riot would disable certain champions from play in those iterations of the game mode.

The 'All Random' aspect is honestly one of the best ways Riot could have "BALANCED" (and I'm saying this very loosely) this issue.

So, should Wukong be removed from ARURF?

In my opinion, no. The random aspect makes it at least somewhat fair through sheer luck.

Either you/your team gets him, the enemy team gets him, .. or he isn't rolled at all.

There are definitely other champions who are just as oppressive.

you make litterally "too op" arguments for any champ in urf... which is the point of urf.

I swear people cry about the dumbest shit
