User blog comment:Neo-Mitsu/Best Pick/Favorite Champion?/@comment-24336345-20150129053137

Due to my constant change in taste and play style, I can't say for certain, but I can say my favorite roles are Bruiser-Tanks. My two favorite champs of the moment are Braum and Wukong, although I do enjoy Sejuani and Cho'Gath. There is something about Tanks, they have the awesome ability to turn team fights with just their presence, soaking damage, providing massive CC, and keeping squishies safe in tough situations. Tanks are just these beautiful things that scale so god dang well into the late game. Look at Nasus and Wukong, they have a weak early laning phase, but come 20-30 minutes they start to scale well and become such an asset for the team with just unstoppable damage while being able to survive fights. Tanks are also noticeable engagers and disengagers, some are similar to Leona and Maokai, leaping into the enemy team and holding them back for their team to follow up and win fights with minimal losses. I also enjoy some of those nice Off-Tanks and Heavy Set Bruisers, such as Irelia and Wukong, who only need about two or three damage items to be incredible.

Okay, so I know that this is supposed to be about one champ in particular, so I will have to say Wukong. He is one of the few triple classed champs, being Fighter/Tank/Assassin and having some bullshit to ignore up to 96% armor with full build. He is just a beautiful creation made for late game team fights. He has the nice engage, CC, heavy damage output, and an escape that a few champions lack.

I never built him as an assassin, more a Heavy Set Bruiser, but with 21 points in Offense (3 in Devastating Strikes), Black Cleaver, his Q, and Last Whisper, he can shred up to 55% and ignore another 41% of enemy armor, meaning you can't defend against his attacks.

Aside from his immunity to defenses, he also can escape from a lot of situations without trying. He has that annoying Clone, but can even preserve mana and the cooldown by literally stopping in place. His passive also plays a ncie role in this, meaning he will take reduced damage from these close encounter escapes.

My play style for Wu doesn't change much for both top and jungle. Top lane his post 4 harass is nice, being able to use Q to lower armor, E dash, and use his W to clone and walk away. While as jungle his ability to go invisible and dash to targets makes strong ganking potential. Once he hits six, Wu can engage almost any fight, having the second highest AD scaling ult (Behind a max attack speed Lucian) that applies CC and grants movement speed while active.

For build I like to start with Elysium Flask, two health, and one Mana, as this sustain is VERY much needed for Early. I prefer being a true ass with a Sheen and Brutalizer rush. Sheen proc+Q+armor pen+armor shred offers some very nice harass against other Melee laners.
