Both forms of reduction are applied before any type of penetration. | ||

We didn't recently discover this - we discovered it right after they changed it which is more than 1½ years ago if I'm not mistaken? The thing is that Wukong's Q is reduction rather than penetration, so it will be applied before penetration no matter if it is % or flat. Edit: Oh, it was already answered.. | ||

I am pretty sure you might as well play Wukong as jungle or mid at this point. His top is pretty bad while sustained based lanes and Darius run wild. | ||

And mid... well, mid, you could as well run Talon, Pantheon or Xin. They lack his decoy, but everything else they're simply better than him. They don't have his crazy-ass AoE tho so I guess you could pick him in some comps... | ||

For mid, Wukong feels pretty good (based on my very limited experience with him). He scales much stronger than Talon and Pantheon and he has an escape. His roam is pretty sad though. | ||

His only 2 bad matchups against the popular picks are Irelia and Darius tbh (from my experience he lanes fine against Malphite, for example). Edit: Also wtf @Sufficiency - is Wukong's roam bad all of a sudden? A stealth+ a crazy AoE ult.... | ||

Teemo is dunk material but really annoying because you can't EQ a good Teemo, who'll blind you before your Q can get used and then run away like the obnoxious midget that he is. Take him by surprise and you'll trash him no problem tho (and he doesn't deserve any better). | ||
