Because if he invests that much gold into offense, he's Silver Talon levels of a suicide bomber in a team fight.

Ironically one of (if not the best) wukongs in the world highly suggest going full damage.

Think his name is allorim

I love how the first abusecase you look at is Wukong, despite the fact that Zed and Talon exist. Riven too

I look at Wukong and J4's abuse because wukong can already build 5 tank items and boots with the potiential to 100-25% the adc. He only needs Duskblade to have full assassination potential. Its not the fact that its wukong or whatever. Its the fact that he has this power to kill you in .8 seconds while also taking a full 8 seconds to kill.

At least zed and talon are supposed to one shot you, and can be one shot in return. Ive also two shot a riven with Draven. Funniest thing ive ever done in league. E'd her right out of the knockup. Slap. Slap. K. O.

Edit: The point is you can never do that to a wukong.

I've played Wukong, and I have never been able to 100 to 25 ANYONE without having atleast two damage items, which were Black Cleaver an titanic, and both are expensive as hell

Ok. So you are right. It was titanic, bc, steracks, deadmans and banshees. Still, he was very difficult to kill. You could NOT focus him down and he was easily capable of assassination. He doesnt have to go full dmg.

If you give him 5% movespeed, does he really even need boots? He has deadmans for out of combat move speed and black cleaver while in combat. Plus the MS from his ulti and a gap closer. Idk man. Maybe you dont want to put duskblade in that build. But you could easily build it in lane if you get a lead and then start building steracks into tank. His knock up provides a good escape.

Well, considering 5% of 345 is only about 17 bonus movement speed, yes I would say he does need boots. Deadman's is nice, but it's also hella expensive if you're talking specifically about the mobility it gives. The movement speed on his ulti should only ever be considered as a way of keeping on people as you spin. I would never use it as an escape method, because if I still die, I just wasted my team's huge teamfight CC. Steraks is nice too, but once again, it only gives so much damage, which wukong needs if he wants to matter.

Wukong isn't broken, I don't even think he's too strong. I also don't even think Drakthar is actually efficient on him considering he's sort of half burst, half DPS instead of full burst. Items like Cleaver and titanic benefit him more because they accentuate that half burst half DPS style, with the Cleaver giving CDR and armor shred, and titanic giving another AA reset and a bit of burst on that AA reset, as well as sustained damage from the passive. Plus they give health, which the monkey sorely needs if he wants to live long enough to kill people

well yea. thats how bruisers are. they double dip into every element of the game. defense. offense. Burst. Dps. CC. Wu has mobility too. I do think he is overpowered. He might not be that great in lcs. But all he has to do in my elo is trade kills for the early part of the game and then get one good ult in a teamfight. Then he can just buy some items that double dip into defense and offense and carry for the rest of the game.

Well, you could make that argument for Renekton too, or Pantheon even. If you let them kill you then you enable them
