@riot @meddler as a former WW main here are the abilities that need to remain unchanged in his RW

None of them. Literally every ability needs to be changed in some way because they are all fairly boring with no counter play. TBH I don't even care much about his ult.

Let's talk about the WW experience. Way back in S1/ pre beta WW was the go to jungler.

This was SCARY back then because there was no META, no streamers to watch and learn. I remember getting jumped on playing Ashe mid lane and typing furiously for my team not saying MIA for ww... because I didn't know what a jungler was.

Warwick appearing out of no where and killing you is the experience we need to rekindle. Having a way to reliably heal himself by hurting his enemy needs to remain (and not a passive lifesteal%, something interactive)

Oh you are hurt? That howl pops up and you KNOW you are in trouble.

Later you gave me a similar experience when you released nocturne. Holy shit the first 3-4 times I experienced the Darkness I lost my cool and I'm a grown ass man.

After that Rengar was released and he seemed like the 21st century WW. "you are being hunted' icon, check. Long range gapcloser to one shot you? check. Hell until I read his lore I thought he was another werewolf not a cat.

So let's find a way to keep the feeling of 'OH MY GOD IM BEING HUNTED and I'm going to DIE' and keep it unique to WW the way Rengar and Nocturne do.
