Make his ulti deal true damage. And refresh on kill.

Rengr pretty good in dominion. The fast pace and his super mobility through the jungle make him really strong.

Technically Wukong should do fine against targets with armor if he uses APen Marks/Quints. The key thing to remember is that % Reduction is applied before Flat Penetration. If Wukong's opponent comes to lane with Cloth Armor, Armor Seals, and defensive masteries it's as if they only have 8-10 armor. The problem is this only applies if you can Q before E.

Wukong's other issue is that he lacks sustain while also having low base health regen and armor.

Mogwai's probably the best person to speak to why Wukong isn't popular/a good pick, but those are the things I've picked up on while trying to learn top lane.


I thought that we recently discovered that % reduction was actually applied after flat pen. When was the last time we tested this?


No, we discovered that % Reduction is applied after Flat Reduction. 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.

Except he needs the farm of a solo lane to do his job, so jungling him against anyone except baddies isn't going to work that well.

Fiddles jungles just fine as long as he's not invaded. They're kinda similar in that they both have good AoE ults.

part of what makes fiddle jungle okay, even without high farm, is a 3s point-and-click fear and an aoe silence
wukong is not really suited to jungle play

True, but his top lane is pretty bad right now. Might as well play him mid.

He has strong match-ups top. Are they popular picks atm, though? I don't think so, except maybe Rumble.
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...

I am pretty sure Rumble destroys Wukong on top.

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.

But I don't think you send an AD lane bully/assassin mid to scale well, rather to destroy their opponent (and deny the opposing AP his power peak, which is usually midgame). And Panth/Talon are stronger in lane and when roaming.

Or you can bully the lane AND scale well. You don't have to roam that much if you scale well.

Have all you guys who are saying Wukong has too many bad matchups top actually played Wukong a decent amount?

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....

warwick and irelia are both pretty good matchups for wu. kennen vlad are great matchups
i think he can beat jayce (lol)
less often picked that he can beat: trynd, gp, teemo

he does have pretty frequently picked bad matchups tho. the easiest remedy i've found is to not blind pick wukong or pick him into his bad matchups. don't pick against lee, riven, panth, nunu ever. don't blind pick if lee or riven or rumble are available

From experience, Warwick beats Wukong (I explained the reasoning on that in the Wu thread), because you can't deal with him when both are oom because of his passive, and if he just stacks armor and buy pots you won't run him oom easily. As FH is core to WW starting chain vest and getting glacial doesn't impede him and he still gets mana out of it to even help his sustain.

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).

Hm you notice that TSM is currently in super serious tryhard mode... TOO is taking soloqueue so fking serious lol, flaming every single misplay of his teammates etc. Before he was always laughing and cracking jokes when his team fucked up, but now he is pretty bitter and kinda raging about it =/

Edit: He is also using "tournament builds" now instead of his usual builds.

i doubt that wukong could beat jayce just because of how easy it is for jayce to disengage.

edit: and then switch to ranged and shoot him in the back.
