Yes, Sun and Wukong from League of Legends are extremely similar BECAUSE THEY'RE BASED ON THE SAME CHARACTER FROM AN ANCIENT CHINESE NOVEL CALLED JOURNEY TO THE WEST.

Sorry, but I see people accuse the RWBY crew of copying Sun Wukong from Wukong from LoL a lot. They didn't copy him from LoL. Sun Wukong from RWBY, Wukong from LoL, Son Goku from Dragonball, and many many MANYYYY other male monkey-tailed characters are based on Sun Wukong from the ancient Chinese novel Journey to the West.

In that novel, he is referred to as the monkey king, he has a monkey tail, he fights with a staff, he uses his somersalt cloud for quick travel, and he can produce clones of himself from his hair. Tons of media pay homage to it through characters based on him. Son Goku is what the Japanese call Sun Wukong.
