Wukong vs Locke Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Two very different profiles meet in the jungle: Wukong the fighter/tank hybrid, Locke the assassin/mage hybrid. Over 1,432 ranked games on patch 16.13.1, Wukong closes out 59.2% of them. That is 9.1 points above even, so Locke is one of the matchups Wukong can lean on.
Both Wukong and Locke threaten mainly physical damage, so one resistance covers the matchup. Wukong opens on 610 health and 31 armour, Locke on 655 and 32. At full build levels the gap widens to 2508 HP versus 2293, favouring Locke. Base attack damage is 66 against 58, so Wukong wins the raw auto-attack exchange.
Wukong threatens Cyclone; Locke counters through Soul Ignition. Level six shifts things: Cyclone on one side, Purgatory on the other.
Both champions are melee (Wukong at 175, Locke at 125), so the matchup is decided by cooldowns rather than reach.
A 1,432-game window is wide enough to trust the direction, narrow enough to shift.
