Warwick "W" bug... [Gameplay]

Rorschakk·9/23/2014, 3:31:32 AM·3 votes·4,401 views

I have been noticing a recurring issue with his W - Hunters Call (attack speed buff) not casting at all. I wish I could be more scientific about when or where it won't work, but I can't find any pattern. I've had this issue happen to me during both team fights and 1v1, it doesn't seem to have any bearing on my unbuffed attack speed, teammates attack speed, the buff putting anyone's attack speed over cap, distance of or number of teammates nearby, buffs, gear... it doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason. Sometimes it goes off just fine, sometimes I think I'm going to break my W. Is this a known problem and is there any plans to fix this? Is it possible that this issue is unique to me and perhaps I'm imagining this issue along with my army of gnomes that won't stop bringing me socks? If WW is "working as intended" I may have to stop my medication...

*edit for clarity.. sort of

I'm suffering of the same bug, I did initially think that was an invisible cooldown but I started to suffer of the same bug on summoner spell Flash only when usung Warwick, anyone with this problem?

http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=4696055 30,000 views, Warwick's Q and W not working randomly. Not just warwick who is bugged pantheon xerath etc. many more champs. Mostly happens after using ultimate. It is not simply the timer not going off, I have played 200 games with ww ranked this season (4). Just got platinum. http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/19124918#ranked-stats 3 months of this bug, and over 2 months of it being reported and no reply from riot in patch notes even to say we're working on it. Makes me feel like riot does what they want and then if they have time to listen to people's problems they'll do that next.

Honestly I don't think this new forum format suitable for bug report. I really spent sometimes to get back to this thread. I don't think they have fixed this bug at all yet.

Have they fixed this bug? I just tried to play WW with another account but don't feel this bug happened.

Can we get an update please? I'm literally in a game right now where I couldn't Q after Ulting. It's ridiculous.

Bumping again, was hoping it might get worked on for 4.18... oh well...

I see other champs getting QoL issues addressed, I'd still consider this a major one. This has a significant effect on gameplay. I like Gangplank too (and actually play him more than WW), but I'd rather this lockout issue get fixed than making Gangplanks R more "consistent".

Honest question: Do the people who ultimately decide what fixes have a higher priority than others actually have gametime on the champions they're making the decisions about? Do they play at all?

Exgeniar, no updates? It's been 3 weeks since your last post. This is very frustrating.

If you press Q or W during the ulti, they locked and you can't use in a time like the cooldowns, so if you press Q during the ulti and your Q have 7secs od cd you need to wait like 7 secs to use again, So basically if you press Q or W during the ulti don't happen nothing and the abilities are locked like if you use them.

I haven't had that issues with his W, the only thing i've noticed with ww recently is with abilities like Trist Jump, Kass rift, J4's dragon strike, the ability goes off and then the target will end up where the ability would put him if they're not ulted, i'm not exactly sure when the person has to click the ability in order for it to interact this way, but ww will be basically scratching at thin air, the damage goes through and everything just abilities that function that way makes the target still travel through the ult. Has anyone had that issue?
