Well i bought wukong and i really enjoy him and want to main him and become a great wukong player.. but on top lane i have trouble with Tanky champs or ones with high lifesteal.

Anyone got any tips to help me out?

The champs i kind of have a problem against:
Shen
Olaf
Udyr

i havnt really came up against many other champs that have gave me problems but im sure there are others that i just havnt played against yet since im still slightly new to LoL.

Need to know a little more information. Are you having trouble just staying alive in lane? Like are you having trouble csing or do you define having trouble trading/outdueling these champs?

You're having problems because Wukong is a weak laner and loses to literally every top laner that isn't squishy and bad at dueling early on. In other words, he loses to everyone. On the other hand, he has insane late game scaling.

Olaf and Udyr dumpsters all over Wukong simply because they are gods at melee ranged 1v1s and that Wukong is full melee.

Shen abuses your zero natural sustain and harasses you infinitely with Q.

You should not be playing aggressively since you'll lose like every duel early, instead play passively. When you see the other laner commit to a CS you can use that opportunity to Q them for some free damage.

At 6, when you get your ultimate you get a huge power spike, so if they're low you can probably E Q R Ignite for a free kill. Additionally, you can go down to mid and gank. Your ultimate if used properly basically guarantees a kill on a squishy.

Lastly, Wukong gets better at dueling when he has Q maxed with a few points in E, so the higher level you are the more aggressively you can play.

For more information, ask Berzerk. He mains Wukong at high elo and I think he's back :p

^^ He's right. Going off of what he said, it might be wise to get something like a regen bead to start with to be able to cs without having to back because of health issues

Thanks very much guys, i have kind of learnt how to lane better with Wukong. I even solo'd a Kha and cho top, YES i know they must not of been the best players around but still, both of them could of got me easy but i was playing really smart and it helped me learn more how to lane with Wukong and play a little more defensively

Just my personal opinion, in the future, if you have trouble against any champions, try playing them. When you are playing them you'll probably have an easier time seeing their weaknesses, also you can remember stuff such as cooldowns and stuff like that.

Wukong is a champion with no built in sustain, and relies on burst damage rather than a sustained burst. Versus the champions that you listed, your best bet would be to try your best to farm safely. Don't even bother engaging or harassing your opponent. Ward up and call for ganks, and if they try to hard engage on you, simply decoy and leave, don't trade. Eventually your ultimate will make you very useful in teamfights, and you'll scale decently into late game. If you find that you are feeding, simply hide under your tower to farm (this negates harass). Good luck~

Just take TP and farm lane it. You don't have kill potential on those champs unless they play dumb, but you out scale all of them in terms of lategame usefulness (Though I know people can try and debate about shen).
