Give Wukong this QoL change, @Riot.

We understand you don't like Wukong as a "burst" champion. Yet he has no sustain to act like a "bruiser", nor enough tankiness to "Dive" and survive, not even reliable consistent "Crowd Control" to build him a bit tankier to use it consistently. So I'd like to know exactly what do you want Wukong to work as?

All I want from you is to:-

Allow Wukong to apply his [Q] before he lands his [E].

Example: if I press [Q] and dash to an enemy using [E], I want the [Q] to land before the [E] so the armor reduction debuff applies, so that:-

My [E] and [R] deal more damage since the champion works as an AD caster My Auto-Attacks deal more damage and I use the full duration of Attack speed buff (from the [E]) uninterruptedly when dueling

This sounds not much change, or no change at all to [Some people since they like to follow a certain combo like (E > AA > Q), but this would really add a bit more damage to his combo Or if you wanna duel early game it would make you a bit stronger in dueling since you apply the [Q] first and not last.

"quality of life change" when this is straight up a buff, not making Wukong more interessant to play as or against. In fact it would remove his auto attack reset, which is one of the only things that adds skill to wukong (and this is not even that hard.)

His armor reduction could be swapped to his E, but then again his Q would be worthless.

No leave Wu where he is for the rest of the season. Sick of Wu one shots the first half of this season.

I personally hate wukong. I tend to play toplane and most time I shut on wu as Darius. Then he roams gets kills by oneshotting squishies and comes fat as fuck on my lane. If wu gets fed he is one of the most annoying champs to play against his dash - q and ult. disgusting.

His ult is btw very strong in team fights even he dies by doing it (a fed with doesn’t care)

I perma banned this champs so often this year till his nerfs he should stay untouched till he gets either a rework or an item nerf aka removing duskblade

These nerfs pissed me off as a wukong main. ive been waiting for a long time for wukong to become strong, Wukong becomes strong, not the strongest, but pretty strong, for a couple months and gets nerfed hard right away. There are still multiple champs that still one shot and have a way more useful kit, i feel like if you can survive wukongs terrible early game then maybe you deserve to do some serious damage in the late game.

That sounds like a copy+paste Rengar with the stealth being a basic ability and no warning.

I'd rather my monkeyboy lose the armor shred entirely as it only benefits electrocute. In return revert the Q ratio removal and the last two patches' E nerfs (CD and damage)

The combination of Sudden Impact and Electrocute both losing half their damage output meant WKs one shots became just trading damage while burning his escape if W was used. He didn't need Q gutted ON TOP OF THAT and it shows in how hard the nerfs hit, yet we didn't get a hotfix because .... uh, cant have champion diversity in top lane and God forbid Irelia mid has counter picks.

Wukong was NEVER broken. Electrocute was and having an armor shred + auto reset to instantly apply it was too much. Remove the shred and revert the nerfs.

that's actually a HUGE buff. I disagree and I used to main wukong. makes him too strong. aa->q->e->aa->tiamat is your bread and butter almost untradeable combo and making it stronger by removing some of those parts seems unfair to opponents.

I think this would have animation issues.
