Warwick Feels Overtuned

I obviously need tips on dealing with this beast as he's become permaban status for me (though it's a hard tie with Sejuani still).

I feel like his rework took all of his intended weaknesses and threw them right out the window:

Mobility in the form of two dashes and his W's movement speed (which REALLY needs a different active, or it to be altogether removed. I should worry about Warwick running up to me at Rammus speed when my health is below 50%, not whenever he pleases.)

Sustain from his Q, Ult and Passive.

Damage reduction from his E and immunity to CC on his Q and Ult.

Hard CC on his E and Ult.

It's nice to see Warwick have such a high skill ceiling now, but every skill having two or three effects seems a little overkill for how simple he used to be.

So, tips? Thoughts?

He's actually useful. A melee champion that can't be kited as easily as you kite useless Darius and Nasus? sign me in.

My tip is don't over commit when he is low as he will heal for more and can easily surprise you with his survability

WW is fine. He is strong is a player is skilled sucky if not but not dominant or toxic like say......Yasuo or Ekko.

There aren't many perfectly balanced champs for their role. WW is one of those lucky few.

Q dash is super low range. His dash over you is even lower as he basically needs to be in melee range to get it off and even then it's clunky to use

CC immunity is only during the Q dashover target, basic Q doesnt get it so if you're trying to CC him when he's already in top of you.... use CC earlier. Immunity on ult is also only while traveling, can be knocked off when doing damage unlike some other champs who go totally immune

W's movement is totally negated if WW takes any damage which you dont seem to understand. Tag him with any ability or auto and he loses the passive then you can just walk away

He's buggy as frig then, since I've knocked him up during his initial Q and he not only ignored the damage, but the knockup itself as well. Additionally, his ult's damage, healing and suppression continues to go through CC as well.

The part about his W isn't true at all. I've hit him with entire rotations and the only thing that slows him are abilities that actually have a slow built into them... And then he's right back at it. It can't be ACTIVATED while in combat, but he doesn't lose it until the eight seconds have passed.
