Hahah, he's hard to play because of the preemptive nature of his kit. Wukong has to anticipate people's intentions and course of action to win lane with Decoy blocking game-changing ultimates. This requires a lot of empathy to pull off. Not everyone's style, for sure.

But, I wouldn't dismiss him as UP. What if I dash onto you and landed only 1 AA (to fake you out), then immediately wanted behind you? Maybe you'd kick me into your team's path of escape, and I haven't even popped R.

Or, say I jump onto Tristana/Vayne both who can peel Wukong off if they knock him away and make him waste his dash. He'll be pretty vulnerable to kiting, and CC'd and killed for being so visible (he's a RED monkey in a green forest..).

But, what if I dashed onto those ADCs knowing that they are experienced players and will try to peel me? And I pop Decoy immediately to take the knockback CC for me, and then proceed to combo AA-Q-AA-R knowing they cant escape my Cyclone anymore?

Skill and experience for sure. But most importantly empathy :3 Not OP/UP.
