This proves that there is an easy to overcome and exploit bond between Zed and Wukong that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.
Wukong has a much lower diffuclty than Zed. That means you don't need to be very careful when finding Wukong allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.
Playing cooperatively, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
In contrast, by grouping Zed and Wukong together, you may not be providing your team very much magic damage. Plan to pick other champs on your team that fills this relative disparity in their kit.
Regardless of the ability of your Wukong ally, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
