Wukong vs Zed Matchup Summary

Based on 13 recent matches analyzed, Wukong wins with a 53.9% win rate compared to Zed's 46.1%, giving Wukong a 7.7 percentage point advantage. Wukong dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Zed players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
2.2Wukong

Damage
762Wukong
1,015Zed
