When Udyr and Wukong jump into a 1v5, one of them lives. Why? Wukong's innate & stealth allow him to do it, and if he needs it he can disable his opponents with his ult to escape. If you want to talk about advantages, Wukong is one of only a few champions who can jump into a crowd of 3+, kill someone, and easily escape. Really, the only other champion who can do that is Irelia. The key difference here, and why Wukong unique, is that his jump does not double as his escape. He can shave CC with decoy, and just leave after the gank. One could use Shaco, as a counter argument, but Shaco's stealth is also what he requires to jump in, which will ultimately result in his death.

If i were to describe what makes Wukong unique; what makes him a worthy teammate, I would say that Wukong is capable of swiftly knocking out a target without self-sacrifice. Damage he does take in the process is reduced by his innate. If Garen runs into a 1v4 to kill a low opponent, he'll die, And that goes for any of the other tanky dps you are convinced are similar. He has a strong lane in that he is one of the few melee dps that can harass ranged champs without repercussions in the laning phase, while champs like jax are just out of luck, and only really thrive in a solo lane, or with a strong laning partner.

If one is good with Wukong, he is ungankable, he can pull off dangerous stunts, waste abilities from his opponent, and can even initiate for teamfights without taking any damage. He has a strong gap closer, on-hit armor reduction, a VERY strong escape, and a deadly ult for teamfights, made even stronger because his innate dissipates repercussions.
