Game affecting Warwick bugs that would be really cool if they finally got fixed

The following bugs have existed since pretty much the Warwick rework, they aren't as big that they would cause you to lose but whenever you try to squeeze the maximum value out of your kit they are really annoying to deal with.

I labeled them tier 1 to 3 (1 being the highest prioity)

Passive related bugs

  • (1) Warwicks passive states that the healing he gets is multiplied by 3 whenever he is under 25% HP. However in reality the actual multiplier is 2.5 not 3 The Wiki has the numbers right so this might just be wrong wording on Riots part but if it isn't then Warwick is missing a lot of power.

Q related bugs:

  • (1) Held Q sometimes doesn't trigger and Warwick just bites them with no additional effects (doesn't follow the enemy through mobility spells etc.). Reproduction rate is unknown.

  • (2) Using Q (tapping or holding it) just before the target dies will use the mana, the ability will go on cooldown but the damage and the healing wont trigger. Video Other Point and Click abilities cancel themselfes and the ability can be used right after (For example Gangplank Q)

  • (3) Healing is delayed compared to the damage (with random timing)

W related bugs:

  • (1) The movementspeed boost is unreliable, granting movementspeed for the opposite direction or not granting any movementspeed towards the target at all.

  • (2) Orb walking with Warwick is really clunky. you lose the AS buff when you issue a movement command and occasionally the first auto attack is issued with normal speed instead of the empowered one.

  • (1) If you respawn and there is a target under 50% HP on the map and is visible to Warwick, he wont gain the bonus movementspeed towards that target. Instead the target needs to be damaged by SOMETHING (doesn't matter what, a minion auto attack is enough) and only then Warwick will gain the bonus movementspeed.

  • (1) If a target stands between you and a hunted target, the bonus movementspeed will be cancelled out sometimes. You can see it here

  • (1) The "tripled" bonuses are once again just multiplied by 2.5 instead of 3

  • (3) Blood trail often needs a lot of time to update/appear and sometimes doesn't show the targets correct position.

R related bugs:

  • (1) Using a blink in proximity of Warwick will fully cancel the ultimate mid-leap. Both ally AND enemy can cancel Warwicks ultimate this way, 100% reproduction rate (the timing has to be right) Olaf Flashing Yi Q Zilean Flash Ryze Flash Graves Flash Cassio Flash This bug is REAL FUN when there is a Kassadin in the game

  • (3) Red circle indicating the ult range likes to bug out and fail to update / go invisible / shrink until gone (especially after using Predator)

Rare / Undefined bugs

  • (3) Warwick standing still for no reason, video

  • (3) Ult gets a huge range for no reason, picture

Not sure if it's a bug

  • Recasting E starts an animation that cancels auto attacks, you can still use Q or any other spell but when you want to auto you just stun yourself for 0.25 seconds or so. Could be that this is intentional, still really annoying to deal with.

  • Holding down Q will let Warwick become immune to any kind of displacements, if it's a normal stun it will stop Warwick in it's tracks. If there is a stun after a displacement (Like Alistar) Warwick will ignore both instances of the cc. So Warwick is kind of unstoppable but at the same time isn't while holding down Q.

  • R hitbox is really clunky and often hits the person standing behind you instead of the person you ult towards

Fixing the most important ones would really help with using Warwick to his maximum potential.

I just played a game as Warwick and my death sound was also excruciatingly loud for no reason

That big ult range for no reason bug actually looks beneficial, don't make them fix that one, lol.

Yeah I've been frustrated with his rework because of the many bugs with Q and W especially.

Champ reworks trigger me sometimes cuz they're supposed to be like a brand new car with no problems but then you find out it's used and its got a lot things that need to be fixed for months or years but you take it to a mechanic or other car expert and they always act like nothing's wrong with it.

I played versus one in ARAM and when he died every time sounded a strange noise and very high. I do not know if it has anything to do with you are saying.

I've been playing WW since before the rework and I swore some of his kit was bugged and just not working as intended. Was having enough odd interactions and inconsistencies that I actually quit playing him even though he's one of my highest mastery champs and I loved the premise of his rework.

Glad to know I wasn't imagining it. The amount of times I have had Q, W, and Ult not work properly and then gone back and reread the abilities and then it still doesn't work properly I just thought there was something I was missing.

300k Mastery Warwick main here. Thank you for the post. That's the kind of stuff I always complain about in Teamspeak when playing but nobody believes me :')

I have experienced a fair bit of them myself. I never got my R cancelled by a flash, don't know about that, but the Q and W bugs are real.

This one I quoted in particular, sometimes I try to ULT away from people chasing me and I end up going the other way and hitting an opponent.

I think Riot already said that is not a bug. The target needs to be damaged to trigger his passive.

Don't think that's a bug.

Another example is if you auto the dragon and then Q it. You'll be unaffected by the knockback.

I'm so glad this topic is getting some attention. I posted a few days ago a topic reminding of ww bugs, legit curious if he is allowed in competitive games because they would have to remake them so often... Now that they will probably HAVE TO address his loud noise death bug, I really hope they look into other bugs at well on the occasion. Maybe this topic will help a bit.

Reading this has actually made me wonder how does Warwick's ult work with Ryze (friendly) ult? Does he leap through the ult and not carried through the portal? Does he get carried through the portal and have his ult canceled? Or (would love it if this happened) does he get carried through the portal and continue his ult in the same direction as his initial leap was going toward?

if you'd remove everything that relates this to warwick, one could assume this is the beginning of the "mordekaiser bug book" lol.

I haven’t experienced any of these..at least not without realizing it was happening. But, given the reaction, I clearly haven’t paid close enough attention. Hopefully they get looked at

I disagree, many of these bugs will ABSOLUTELY cause you to lose games. Warwick is a sustain jungler with strong objective control. He is meant to be all over as an ever looming gank threat and to be able to rely on his strengths in sustain to win duels and secure objectives. All of these bugs hinder those ideas in some way. Sometimes you will outirght lose an Epic monster or duel because of his Q bugs, which can be definitely game loosing. The vast majority of these are inexcusable at this point, and what hurts most is that if he was played competitively and there was just one instance of these bugs causing him to lose, he would be fixed next patch.

WW is, in my opinion, the shinning example of why Riot deserves every ounce of it's playerbase ire for their resource distribution.

im happy to inform you that your post made reddit gold lol https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/bkefkm/here_are_20_warwick_bugs_that_exist_since_his/

friend of mine took your post and copy pasted it, not expecting anything. but it looks like the post gets some attention. maybe even from a rioter.

congratz! your post had some quality formating and video links so im not surprised they like it.

RottedApples5/4/2019, 3:49:16 AM1 votes

can you confirm if the ww standing still bug still happens in the last few patches? I know there was a bug a short while ago that caused champions to stand still and not auto as well as a couple other instances besides that causing them to stand still. i'm wondering if this was also fixed then.

I've had the W bug that gives you a speed boost in the opposite direction or not at all, It's happened so many times and it's frustrating

Cenutrio 5 rabos5/5/2019, 3:14:26 AM1 votes

I stopped playing Ww because of the multiple w bugs. they happen SO often it's actually mindblowing how they haven't them fixed yet, considering his W is the most important part of his kit.

THANK YOU!

HOLY...WOW I was always wondering what on earth was going on. Thank you. This needs to be fix so badly.

I hope WW gets the love he needs. Unfortunately quality post like this usually don't get the desired result, even if you get acknowledgement WW is so low on the popularity scale they may not dedicate the time to fixing it.

Anyway great detective work!

r and W buggs are specially annoying and very noticeable
