I rarely ever see any Wukong players! He is a strong champ, fun to play and has a really strong teamfight ulti! Seems odd that he is never played :(

He has a pretty weak laning phase and most top champions are played full tank in the current meta, which doesn't fit wukong.

^ this.

but he is still good in certain comps...especially when you fill the tank role with your jungler and possibly your support i.e. sejuani in jungle and leona as support.

Honestly, I think he's fine and should be played more than he currently is. But yeah, people prefer tankier champions.

He has a consistantly high win-rate and even Riot agrees he's broken in a lot of contexts. He just isn't played alot. But not enough to warrant a rework like Xerath; who is also Riot-admittedly broken in his current state.

Wukong's stealth is way too obvious because it's absolutely NOT identical to pressing S. Also you can apparently hear it which is ********.

He also lacks any sort of poke/farming skill that doesn't bring him right next to the opponent. Sucks pretty hard when the opponent basically is guaranteed to get a chance to return poke whenever you attempt to trade.

I tend to use Wukongs stealth during "action" when people don't always realise it's the clone a little late, works perfectly fine. I agree he doesn't have good poke though.

Wukong CAN be played tanky aswell, his ulti and passive makes him quite a strong tank in a teamfight.

Tbh, his laning phase isn't too bad, I never have problems in lane. I'm just bronze 2 anyway, so I guess it's harder in higher ELO.

I am guessing he just doesn't fit in the current toplane meta of tanks. It sucks, he is a really good champion that deserves more attention ^^

Thanks for all the answers :D

Terrible laning phase, not that tanky, doesn't provide a lot of damage. The only thing thats really good about Wukong is his ultimate Cyclone; other than that, he's outshined in every other aspect
Thanks for the Signature MissMaw!
