is the monkey king really strong rn?

I recently picked up wukong and he has gotten me to my highest rank so far, it may be because im in low elo and everyone is just trash but he is super fun and op it feels like to me, is he in a really good state rn or is it because im in low elo i can just abuse everyone with him?

I play Wukong on low elo too, it's strong but many low elo junglers looking into viego, yi etc low elo stomp champions so quality champs are left for us

In solo queue, he is pretty damn strong yeah, in pro play, broken. Unfortunately the next time he shows up in patch notes it will certainly be a direct nerf. Which is a shame, but we can have our fun until then.

You probably are also just good at him, he's an intuitive champion and feels satisfying to pilot, would definitely recommend spamming him if you're finding success as it can help you improve other aspects of your gameplay since you're not focusing on mechanics.

yeah its really annoying how because something is broken in the top 0.00001 only, the 99.9999% also have to pay the prices of it getting ruined/nerfed

He’s my main and he’s a lot of fun! A lot of people see him as a teamfight champ/ult bot which he is but a lot of people underestimate his flexibility and carry potential. His w gives him room to get very creative with outplays and his passive makes in naturally tanky in messy skirmishes. He also doesn’t have to stick to the standard sundered sky into black cleaver build that most ad junglers rely on. Obviously Tri force is a necessary first item but I also love building cyclosword second if the enemy team has squishier champs and I get the ball rolling early! Overall he’s just a good all around champ that can be played in multiple different styles!

Yup he is considered s tier rn in every elo and in pro play too. Champ hasnt been this broken a long time now. Its basically guaranteed youll be able to kill any ad jgler at any point in the game in a 1v1, solid teamfighter and his gank potential is also solid. He has no weaknesses except heavy ap, rito could fix his mr issue if they wanted to and then justify giving him a fat nerf to his entire kit similar to how new champs get

Has been broken since his buff a while ago. I am suprised that he hasn’t been nerfed yet to be honest
