Would Wukong become broken if we lowered his W CD to 10 at all ranks?

From 18/16/14/12/10?

He already has trouble in the new jungle and this could really help him out. I also never understood why it was such a high CD to begin with.

His mana costs are already too high and he is a lot better in teamfights than in solo lanes against tanky people he can barely deal with to begin with, so honestly this would only benefit his jungle and not really affect his laning at all. Even with Flask he can run out really fast if he just spammed QWE all the time.

It has a high CD because it allows him to engage easily imagine how much of nightmare it would be fighting him top if the up time was 10s. He was a make shift jungler and the new jungler is showing just how much burst down the jungle wasn't intended.

It costs 50/55/60/65/70 mana and you get a lot more coverage just using his 8 second CD E. The Decoy is really only useful for tanking jungle monsters and pseudo escaping for a high mana cost. Wukong doesn't get played a lot top because his strengths are better used in ganking and teamfights than just solo fighting and farming.

Probably because in lane his main damage combo is 9 seconds at level 1, with his decoy 18. This means if he used his decoy to escape he cannot jump on you and instantly stealth run away. Lowering decoy to 10 means he can use his entire combo every 10 seconds (with escape decoy) instead of every 18, giving him much more threat.

But that full combo costs him 40+50+45 Mana at level 3. He already has mana problems as is in top lane. 135 mana is already 45% of his mana bar.
