slightly there's a chinese story / mythology about a monkey king named Sun Wukong, there's a monk and yadda yadda has a staff rides a cloud you get the gist of it pretty much the same thing though

LMFAO did you SERIOUSLY thought that was the reason?

Wukong is the name of a monkey from a story in Chinese Culture. That monkey flies on a cloud and wields a huge Iron bar that can extend or shrink in size as weapon.

Im rather surprised at your comment lmfao. I really doubt any players brought up in Chinese culture would try to explain the reason behind a vampire named Vladimir lmfao

No no I understand he's inspired by Journey to the West But think about it Wuju Wukong

His name was just Kong Master Yi NAMED his disciple Wukong to teach him Wuju Style I'm not talking about inspiration I'm talking about the reason for naming him that. Sort of a clever way to tie him into Master Yi and give him a backstory for League.

Lol,that actually makes sense(in-universe at least,I mean its obvious that the real-life reason was because he was named after sun wukong)
