Any upcoming changes for Wukong ?

option paralysis··9 votes·739 views

He's my fav and most played champion and I miss playing him, but I just can't play him top lane since s5. Pick Darius FioraNautilus Gragas etc. against him, and I want to do bad things to myself. Couple that with a fuckin' LeeSin camping your ass, because why not = free win for the enemy team. I never liked him in the jungle very much, his clears are horrendous early and if someone comes to your jungle (hi again you blindfuck), you're instantly dead. Sometimes he works mid, but that's only on few matchups and again you gotta pray that you don't get camped. Every change in the game for the last 2 years, barring the lethality bullshit, was bad for him. I used to go insane when I actually won my lane against Maokai, who was in every game, and then he built tank and was more useful than me in teamfights. That's the reason I switched to support, I just couldn't deal with the bullshit that was happening on top lane. He's still pretty good if nobody on the enemy team has a tank or cc, but that's a pretty big IF. Idk which changes should follow, he's been unchanged for a long time and I don't want him to go with the usual cycle of being OP then gutted, but I know that I don't see him in games anymore. He's still good to climb if you're low elo, but diamond++, I don't think he works for quite some time now.

Dude no don't even ask for that. I'd rather Wukong stay as he is then he be reworked into a shell of his former self like zac or zyra.

When i started this game in S2 all I ever played was top and adc and Wukong was my main. I play jungle and mid now so I don't use him anymore but he and Vi and Zyra are my favorite champions. After seeing the mess that is the tank reworked the only touches I want to see for him are numbers but nothing else.

In the end it wont change anything for you... u abandonned him, u traitor [slayer-pantheon-popcorn] And Wukong need definitly more than a stat buff, and it isnt a mess for tank. All players on boards cry all days for all and nothing. Was same for Aatrox, and he's in a good spot atm.

Ok i dont play top lane so why would i use him when he's a top laner? That's not betrayal I still care about the champion an have been considering taking him into the jungle. Yeah and what aatrox got was a stats buff rework recently nothing really changed for him that's why he's in a good spot because that wa all he really needed (that an the removal of the damage he did to himself). Wukong doesn't need a rework he just needs a numbers change and that's it.

They changed how his kit worked (a mini rework like shivana), but in the end Aatrox will be reworked too.

Wukong doesn't need a rework he just needs a numbers change and that's it.

He's too binary atm and with stat buff it wouldnt change. With his current kit there always a better pick for all his job (if u need a assassin, an engager...).

Ok i dont play top lane so why would i use him when he's a top laner?

Tbh even top Wukong have a hard life, same in jungle (will be better next patch with nerf of lee & graves) ... he's feast or famine style. And Mid isnt great IMO... but i don't play mid.

They said they will minor change him in the diver update. (end of the season)

I hope they ONLY change his passive, but they will probably completely destroy his feeling.

No they said he'll be Major same with Aatrox. Wukong need more than his passive, this monkey is to binary.

Sad, i really like wukong besides his passive.

We all love him... He's the Monkey King SunWukong. But he's too binary with him there only 2 scenario (u oneshot the carry or u are the oneshotted).

Idunno man, a good wukong can win any lane

He's a good midlaner if played well. and he currently rocks the highest winrate amongst toplaners https://euw.op.gg/champion/monkeyking/statistics/top He's certainly tricky to play into some matchups, but if used well he still is strong.

Wukong is weak, yeah... but he's not weak against Nautilus mainly with last nerf. They'll rework him during Divers class.
