Wukong vs Warwick Counter Pick

Read this one as a direction rather than a settled number: 101 recorded games on patch 16.13.1 is a thin sample, and it puts Wukong at 40.6%. The mechanics point the same way the record does.

Warwick is built around healing that Wukong has no clean way to outpace. Eternal Hunger adds bonus magic damage to his basic attacks and returns that amount as healing below 50% health, with the healing increasing again below 25%. Jaws of the Beast scales off the target’s maximum health and heals for the damage dealt, which turns Wukong’s 2,293 health at level 18 into fuel. Blood Hunt hands out move speed toward and attack speed against wounded enemies, so backing off at half health is the worst option on the table.

What Wukong keeps is reach and the ability to leave. He attacks from 175 units to Warwick’s 125, moves at 340 to 335, and Crushing Blow shreds 33 base armor while extending that swing. Warrior Trickster‘s invisibility and clone are the practical response to Infinite Duress, a 1.5-second suppression on a leap that scales with bonus move speed, and Primal Howl‘s damage reduction marks the window to disengage rather than to commit. Difficulty sits at 3 on both sides. More: Warwick.
