Quoted:

k0sent0:


Lore:

In the Plague Jungles, Kong ruled as king. He could wield a unique, natural form of magic and he was driven by zealous ambition. The Plague Jungles were the ideal setting for fostering his growth - he thrived on challenges and flourished in adversity. However, when he had surmounted every obstacle and defeated every opponent, he grew restless. Worried that there was nothing left to overcome, he sought counsel with the monkey sage who lived behind the Grand Waterfall. The sage told him a tale of hairless monkeys to the north who, with wits and strength, bent the world to their will. Kong was overjoyed at the prospect of such worthy competition, and he immediately set out to the north, hoping that the sage's story was true.

Traveling north, he crossed the Southern Wastes and then the Great Barrier. Unaware of the League, he arrived outside the Institute of War where he found Master Yi in meditation. Kong was eager to test the strength of these northern warriors, so he challenged Yi to a duel. Intrigued by Kong, Yi decided to humor him. Within moments of his first strike, Kong knew he was no match for Yi. To be the best, he would need a mentor. He asked Yi to take him as a pupil and to show him the wonders of the northern lands. In return, he would honor Yi by becoming the greatest warrior Runeterra had ever seen. Admiring his passion, Yi agreed, but only under the condition that Kong would one day teach the lessons of Wuju to a pupil of his own. In the spirit of this agreement, he renamed Kong ''Wukong'', and gave him a weapon suited to his unusual nature - an enchanted staff that the young Doran had crafted. The weapon was an unrivalled masterpiece. After rigorous training, Wukong joined the League of Legends to fulfill his promise and show the world the true power of Wuju.

''The first step to wisdom and greatness is realizing how little you know.''
- The first lesson of Master Yi

Abilities:

Stone Skin (Passive): Wukong's armor and magic resistance are increased for each nearby enemy champion.

Crushing Blow: Wukong swings his mighty staff with incredible speed, crushing his opponent. This attack deals additional physical damage and reduces the enemy's Armor for a short duration.

Decoy: Wukong utilizes his cleverness to trick his foes. He becomes stealthed for 1.5 seconds and leaves an uncontrollable decoy behind that will deal Magic Damage to enemies near it after 1.5 seconds.

Nimbus Strike: Wukong dashes on a cloud toward a target enemy and sends out images to attack up to 2 additional enemies near his target, dealing physical damage to each enemy struck.

Cyclone (Ultimate): Wukong's staff grows outward and he spins it around, dealing damage and knocking up enemies. Wukong gains movement speed over the duration of the spell.



His backstory is neat. They made it so Yi is his first mentor, and the one to give him his name.
This means, they're using the WuKong who had not yet become immortal as the basis for the champion.

An incomplete WuKong who continued to become stronger was the most fun part of the story I think. ^_^


Stone Skin disappoints, it only works on enemy champions and not creeps, so he won't excel at jungling.
I'm guessing this means he'll be similar to Irelia or Xin Zhao is play style and build.

Decoy cannot be controlled. Maybe it's like Malzahar's Summon Voidling and it'll move on its own.

The ability descriptions are very disappointing. I hope the actual tool tips will be more connected with the chinese lore. He's suppose to be a jam-packed flavor champion for Eastern culture.

The stone skin passive will make him resistant to ganking because it will still trigger if they're in the bush, right? Pretty sure that's how it works with skills like Hate Spike and Mocking Shout.

@Lugignaf:

That would make him very good at scouting brushes in front of him.

"Derp, I just got 2 champ's worth of bonus armor after moving in range of that brush. Blitz, GRAB EM!"




I am hoping he will get CC immunity or Tenacity during Cyclone.
Unlike Judgment, it's an ultimate with a much heavier cooldown, so he should be able to use it freely.

What if it's as powerful as Katarina's Ultimate?

What if WuKong could be stunned like Katarina and insta-waste his spin?

I suppose being able to knock-up enemies would be too strong to couple with CC-immunity. But a little Tenacity would be nice.

Maybe if he could be stunned and slowed, but wouldn't stop spinning? :S?

@Temzilla:

Garen does that already. If you stun him, he doesn't stop spinning. (Which makes more sense)
But, at the standard 500+ range stuns, that's like holding your arm out against a child whose arms are too short to hit you.

WuKong: CYYYCCCCLOOOONE.

Sion: Nope.

WuKong: CYYYCCCCLOOOONE.

Ashe: Nope.

WuKong: CYYYCCCCLOOOONE.

Malzahar: Nope.
