i feel like, while they share similar characteristics their roles are complete opposite. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing i like it.
we see their kits are similar.
Garen is more of that annoying tank that can 100-0 a carry with hes combos. and still stay alive to spin around, leave the fight to regen, and overall, be the teams tank. Hes good at surviving too, Just like the monkey king.
While Wukong is more of the AD Caster type. He excels when built without many tanky items. hes amazing ad scaling damage and decoy to avoid damage all together allows him to not only kill squishier champion, but shred tanks(assuming he has black cleaver already) and the entire team with hes ultimate.
good champions to pick up, sense they're near the same kind of kit, and allows you to have that dmg in the top lane if needed, or be that heavy tank that so many teams so desperately need.
So often in solo queue my teams have no tank, simply because people want to be that carry. and cause they believe, it is them against 5 people. they forget its a teamgame
its hard to do that as a tank, so they just go riven or fiora, even tho our jungle already picked someone like khazix or rengar.
then we end up with no tank, which is really unfortunate.
But i guess with Garen you can still be that carry while being the tank aha
Garen op :p
