lore accurate WK will be his ult lets him transform into any champ in the same game with all the skills excluding ult, his passive is he doesn't die instead he gets stunned and untargetable on the spot for duration of the death counter and revives on the same spot with full HP, Q change it to channel but untargetable during the channel, W increase number of clones and dash distance per level and make it so clones will seek out nearest target and not just stand on the spot, E change to nimbus which can fly over anything similar to sol but can't attack or use skills while flying.

[@Pixctvsff]

nice one

[@reginaldbutcha4844]

I like the idea of the W. and you also have a really good point. Wukong's unique trickster trait isn't that great anymore, because new champions can do it so much better. Neeko as mentioned, but also Zoe with her R and stealing flashes and now Aurora with her little rabbit hole resets. Something about these champs being better at tricks than a literal trickster god (in myth lore) doesn't sit right with me. The same way that certain champions with certain builds have more lifesteal and survivability than a full build Vladimir, a goddamn whole hemomancer

[@Tasia-s1h]

It's a very interesting idea, it would be a really fun character to play by turning him into something like Hwei and Karma, interacting with different combinations. However I would punish him by reducing his damage due to such a diversity of abilities, as adding cooldowns to his abilities would be a disadvantage for him, seeing as he is a melee character. As for the passive, I think it would be too big. I would limit it to after getting a dragon soul, Wukong gets a buff on X skill. For example: - Fire dragon soul: If he blocks with his ultimate, he will reflect X% (small) damage to enemies (like a thornmail). If you choose to rotate with your ultimate, that area will be imbued with fire and will do X% damage (Like Shyvana's W). - Wind Dragon Soul: Gain the cloud, and while out of combat you will receive a speed bonus. This could also ‘help’ Wukong to be multifaceted and have different builds, for example with that mobility he could be an assassin, if he has that buff from the fire dragon, it would help him to be offtank, or if he takes the mountain, tank, etc. Maybe I've freaked out a bit, but I've been infected by this creativity. I hope Riot Games sees it and takes note!

[@pepelumartinez9915]

Hi! Great but one note that may help with your future ideas: With nimbus strike you want to do it instantly, so the second use (with E pressed and hold) is incompatible because there's no way to detect if the user wants to hold E or use nimbus strike instantly. It happens with abilities with no windup nor channel.

[@shockwave2943]

The animal morphing ability here could be a concept for a new jungler champion. just think about it, a champion that has so many ablities but the abilities she could cast is based on the jungle camps she farm is a cool idea for a champion. and the possible extra passive of this champon is when it takes down an objective (like dragon, herald or void grubs) it will be able to have a special buff for itself.

the W idea mark the enemy and teleport its instand is brilliant please someone upvote this, it could make a great outplay yo

[@CausticCaterpillar]

I really enjoy this way to do wukong... but what if his kit revolved around his clones, as this is a signiture ability that Wukong has in lore, the duplications to be a trickster. What if his ult was his clone ability and it contained charges? maybe you start with 2 charges on your first level up of the ult, then as you level your ult, you get an additional charge to a max of 5. Then replace his W with his ult, a simple spin to knock enemies up, and decrease the cast time. BUT, this is where it gets interesting, all of your additional abilities where you press and hold, those become unlocks as you level your ult as well. Similar to Kha'zix evolutions, Wukong would choose an ability to add an additional effect, and each one you described is perfect for this honestly. This way, you can have 5 clones that run around and do things, really throwing the enemies of their guard, but they all can be like 2 hit enemies, that way they are not too OP. And of course, your clones mimic you abilities, giving you a late game scaling champ who can really dominate teamfights

[@Ztsakkeus]

W hold, stone thing might be Nice game mechaning in actually. E Dash + clones might be EPIC and nice addition to leag. I think i would love to see it, feels like direct counter to how new champs play is confusion. This is quite small change to one champ who could add lot of variety.

[@ornn6177]

To much in W, make it simpler while also fun. every time you hit Q it has extended range stacking 3 times (think of k'sante Q) while also building charges like (pantheon passive)--W stays the same invis is slightly extended and using Q while W is active switches Q to a thrust stance strike which does max health Physical dmg based of charges-----E is changed to a piller stance dash which allows you to dodge attacks (like fizz) lands in an AOE and hits reduce cooldowns----R is still a spin but animation is like black myth and at the end does a wide sweep into a smash stance attack
