Alright so they went full bruiser on him. Sustain in lane will be nice, seems like he'll go tiamat into cleaver (or some variant of that) now due to the fact that his AD ratios are down or gone across the board. The clone doing damage obviously seems strong, especially when paired with the fact he gets a 20% damage boost if he gets 5 hits off, which i think in the immediate confusion of all the clones is basically guaranteed. overall probably gives him a few more positive matchups in top, now that he'll have more sustain. Assassin Wukong was fun to play but when it was strong it was not fun to play against, so i'm glad as a whole they went in this direction.
Edit: removed the first part about ulti knockup tick rate, feel pretty stupid that I complained about it without checking if damage and knockup were still tied together, just assumed because of the complaints back when I actively played wukong more oftern. Been long since fixed which means my only real complaint isn't valid. Woops.
