I don't think Wukong has that strong of a trade in early game. % based armor pen isn't that strong early game, and many other solo tops out damage wukong too early, not to mention that decoy is a situational escape mechanism on top of that.

Speaking of decoy, it's not even that good of an escape mechanism. Rengar has similar hp regen as Wukong now, but his ult makes him invisible and he gets healing.

Comparatively, Wukong is one of the weakest in solo top. It doesn't mean he's a weak champion, but the lack of sustain, mitigation or ludicrous trading power makes it hard for him to survive there. Hell, his passive sucks at solo top.
