Wukong rework

So, I read Journey to the West. For those who don't know what that is, Journey to the West is Chinese myth. One of the main characters of the book is called Monkey, or Wukong. So, my rework is focused on incorporating as many aspects of Monkey's powers as possible. In the book, Monkey is very overpowered. One thing to note is that this is a for fun project, this should not be taken seriously as it will probably never be balanced in any game ever.

Passive: Wukong's armor and magic resistance are increased based on the number of champions (friendly and enemy) nearby. Wukong ignores any effect that would increase the amount of damage he takes or reduce his armor or magic resistance (for instance, items like item 3001, item 3091, item 3151 , item 3071 , however lethality and magic penetration would still work as normal).

Q: Wukong channels for up to 3 seconds. Releasing the Q within the first second will make Wukong thrust outward with his weapon knocking enemies hit backwards. Releasing after a 1 second channel will cause Wukong to slam his weapon into the ground, damaging and slowing enemies hit. The weapon will grow in length depending on charge time. (Think of a combination of Pyke and Sion )

W: Wukong creates a clone of himself that last for 10 seconds. While the clone lasts, Wukong will stealth whenever he is not in combat or recalling. The clone can be controlled by reactivating this ability. The clone deals 50% reduced damage and will redirect 25% of the damage taken to Wukong.

E: Wukong periodically gains charges (2 charges max). Wukong can expend a charge to dash towards a target champion, ward, minion, structure, or monster.

R: Same as it is currently, except that his passive bonuses are doubled for the duration.

Just want to point out that the W is overpowered especially for someone that is immune to lethality Magic and armor penetration. Think about a Shaco ULT with a ten second Akali shroud. That is just the W Even with reduced damage and damage being reflected to Wukong

The Passive Wukong ignores any effect that would increase the amount of damage he takes or reduce his armor or magic resistance would make all of his armor and magic resiest True armor as well as remove many ability's and Press the attack if this was a permanent effect with only 100 Armor and Magic resist Wukong would have a permanent 50% damage reduction if Someone would build him with Trinity, Gage, and resistances he would be at the level of a super tank and the damage output of a bruiser.

You should read up on how armor and magic resist work to get the full info but by giving a character true defense (% Damage mitigation think Alistar Ult, Warwick W, Yi W, irelia W ) usually happens as an ability that is on a timer and in the case of Yi and Irelia (who would be comparable to your rework) the Damage mitigation Causes you to be unable to do anything with out turning it off first. A better way to make his passive have similar properties would be to make it into Malzhars passive shield in that it triggers when he is attacked.

All above being said The idea of giving a Champ the ability to cancel out Armor and MR penetration would be a good Idea for a super tank who does little else than soak up all the damage.

I just want to add something . I don't like current Wukong skill set, because its so outdated and useless in late game. Wukong needs rework !!!!

I watchd journey to the west movie or tv series thousand times.

Wukong's teacher was the Bodhi ancestor（(Patriarch Bodhi）. he only taught Wukong philosophy in Buddhism until one day Wukong was laughing while he's giving lecture to Bodhi's students. and then he realized that Wukong has extraodinary talent. and decided to teach him two three skills. one is the 七十二般变化(changes or 72 kinds of form ) Wukong is able to change himself into anything, tiny pea, or tree, or elephant , dog, or a bottle water, and his magic wouldn't last long, or will be reveal under higher power saints. but its useful to fool enemy.

the other one is to be able to ride on clouds , and he's able to travel 18000 miles with one somersault.

he was born with 金刚不坏 stone skin, can endure magic flames for 49 days , and he's able to see any changed magic. like see through enemy if they turned into something with ordinary eyes can't see.

and Wukong has his weapon stolen from the dragon king under the sea. the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Chinese: 如意金箍棒; pinyin: Rúyì Jīngū Bàng), is the poetic name of a magical staff wielded by the immortal monkey。 this staff can be shortened or lengthened as long as Wukong wants it.

and Wukong isn't all powerful. he's was the one who disobey the rule so people adore him.

and if you had read through all the stories you will find Wukong was a great fighter but not the most powerful one, and actually he's ostensibly powerful because the others mighty gods tolerate him and manipulate him.

and he's weakest point is the ring he wears on his head , tricked by his master to detain him and force him to obey.

Bear in mind , Wukong was a sad hero story , because he can't fight back against the norm, and he can't do anything to stop them from manipulating him.

the entire story was about the fight between Buddism and Daosim. Wukong was merely a piece on the chess table.

I have included all Wukong's power. I wish Riot can rework Wukong, otherwise I have completely loss the appetite of playing league.

consider the passion I have for the game.

my English is very bad. correct me , and ask me question if you can't understand what I have saidMonkeyKing summoner 4
