Wukong is a bruiser, he is meant to be used during protracted bouts of the ol' fisticuffs, but its Riot utterly malign obsession with pumping more ways of screwing other players faster with more damage that has made Wukong appear rather bursty.

The Monkey Man's fights are not meant to be 2 second affairs, he is meant to be weaving auto-attacks between intermittent use of his abilities.

He is a teamfighter, with major pressure from his ultimate, but he also has his passive working to increase his mitigation during a multi-target fight.

Its the rise of the fighter/slayer class and the birth of the Juggernaut class that are making classification of champions like Wukong hard.

Fighter/slayer champions are becoming incredibly capable of dealing assassin level damage with bruiser level defensive capabilities (Riven's shield and Irelia's Healing for example).

Juggernauts are eating up a lot of champions due to their capability of dealing major damage while sustaining and invariably being slow.

Then we have Wukong, who is meant to be fighting over an extended period having the burst capability of an assassin with his still working Passive and W allowing him some mitigation.

If the game wasn't so "burst or get burst" Wukong could be a normal bruiser, but he either gets fucked over and forgotten in a game or instagibs people when he gets fed.
