Champion Sneak Peek – Wukong, the Monkey King!!

[quote=JunSupport]@Atheb: You're not the only one who noticed. A lot of people are very depressed by how many Tanky DPS are being released. They have no real roles, and the latest ones have gap-closers + cc + high sustainable damage that make them a bit overwhelming if built properly. The sheer number of Tanky DPS also make it difficult to pull away from the "tanky dps" team comps either. It's just so much more likely that people in solo-queue will end up picking them instead of true tanks or melee-dps because there's SO MANY. About Skarnar: Riots have stated they're still playing with whether they want Skarnar to be Tank or Tanky DPS. I'm personally hoping he's a hardcore tank/initiator.[/quote]

[quote=Dante Rebellion]"@Dante: If you knew anything about Monkey King, you'd know Tanky DPS doesn't suit his character at all. :( And a specific design being subpar is no reason to support the halting of producing more champions of that design. Melee-DPS are very fun. Master Yi, Nocturne, and Tryndamere are hilarious once they get rolling. And, I do believe Yi and Trynd are on the backburner for buffs/tweaks to make them more viable." So true, but I still want to play tanky dps, mainly because they suit my playstyle more. But I must say that 500 range thing idea would be awesome :D![/quote]

[quote=Svadilfari]Have you seen this vdeo ? [youtube=ZtdeknxLGEM] When I saw how he move, I've directly seen the ressemblance with the character called the monkey king played by Jet Li in the movie "The Forbidden Kingdom". U can see him here : [youtube=fRso62C0E6k][/quote]

[quote=BigDaddyPedro]Insta buy, with RP! Too lazy to save for him + trying to finish runes and all. I also hope he is a tanky dps who can jungle (sorta like lee) but more tanky at the start. Is he going to be released before or after the EU split?[/quote]

[quote=kin333x]wow ive been waiting forever for this[/quote]

[quote=Brynollf]I'm definetly buying him, A monkey king *Drool*[/quote]

[quote=Joobieo#41288]Instant buy ![/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]@Svadilfari: That's the old teaser video. And that other one is JUST A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE REMAKE. The forbidden kingdom is only roughly based on the character Monkey King, it is not faithful to the chinese story at all... If you really want to enjoy the Monkey King story, watch the 1986 live-action series tv show. The special effects are way outdated, but it is completely faithful to the original story.[/quote]

[quote=Joobieo#41288]Anyone else find it odd* that a movie about monkies taking over the world is coming out around the same time as this champion?[/quote]
