Why isn't wukong played so much?

[quote=TheRedPenguin]Wukong isn't played because lee sin makes better juking videos for youtube.[/quote]

[quote=Napoleon D][[Wukong]] sucks. He loses to every single top laner in the game. [[wukong]] doesn't counter [[jayce]] (i've beaten wukong with jayce before]] hell he doesnt wont even be able to kill [[nasus]] the weakest early game laner. I can honeslty go any champion i want against wukong and its a free win for me if i don't let it go to late game.[/quote]

[quote=I post stuff]I think this is a case of players over exaggerating a champions weaknesses while largely ignoring its strengths. An ulti like [[cyclone]] on a champ that can cave in heads so well is nuts; you can't deny that. He's also kinda hard to gank because of [[decoy]], which lets him play mind-games on people. I know many here will go full macho mode and claim they never got juked by a [[wukong]] doing his [[wukong]] thing but there's no way I'm believing that. Serously, I saw a friggin' full Diamond team get juked by [[wukong]]'s false [[decoy]].[/quote]

[quote=C4 Lasty]Low elo - He has a ton of counters that are very meta picks right now such as Renekton. High elo - He can't 2v1 for shit so if enemy picks Wukong top you just lane swap on him rendering him usless all game. He's better mid.[/quote]

[quote=Ninja Trigger]it also seems that whenever there are 2 Wu Kongs in a game the enemy teams is always better, not to the level of the Teemo Curse, Adding on to why Wu Kong sucks he just has a high skill cap to play well, so he's more of a high risk low reward champion. Why play a hard champion with low rewards[/quote]

[quote=AngryCoco]Wukong doesn't lose to every single toplaner in the game, he can easily destroy a mediocre/good Elise before she gets strong! As I see Wukong, he isn't a high risk low reward champion, he can do good in a teamfight even if he falls behind because of his ultimate. Just get past laning phase if they try to counterpick you and you should actually do fine! I guess it's possible to reach a high elo with Wukong, but it's not that easy... If I ever get out of this horrible Bronze, it shall be by juking them all! I've never heard of the Teemo Curse before D:[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex][quote=AngryCoco] 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 :( [/quote] he sucks monkeyballs.[/quote]

[quote=Omnislash GG]Oh geez.. Now they're gonna have to nerf him. Seriously, though, my guess is that he's just not that fun to play, or just not powerful enough to carry in SoloQ.[/quote]

[quote=C4 Lasty]I didn't say he loses to all or even MOST top laners. I said he loses to a lot of the tier 1 tops you see in most games right now. I know the best Wukong NA. He prefers to play him mid because of lane swaps and counters.[/quote]

[quote=Shikaka]I am guessing the answer isn't because some people just don't wanna play [[Wukong]] and prefer different champions and styles...Myself included :P[/quote]
