Is Warwick still considered OP?

Just kind of curious if he is.

Just played a game with him where I did really well (13/5/27), and I'm wondering if it's just because he's still strong and overtuned, or if maybe he's just a simple enough jungler that I can do well with him (Unlike some of my other junglers, which requires me to be good enough to hit a skillshot sometimes, which I'm apparently incapable of doing).

Or maybe it's just that the team I was on worked together really well, and I'll probably get destroyed on my next game. Or the game lasted long enough that I could get Devourer stacked.

Either way, I know Warwick's going to be reworked so I probably shouldn't get too comfortable either way.

He's not crazy op like he was. He's been nerfed and challenging smite was changed as well to not go as well with him. He's probably still reasonably strong due to his sustain, but I wouldn't say he's still op

His clear speed is gone. He used to spam W in jungle and trailblazer to farm quick, both were nerfed. His ult is nerfed and can't one shot squishies

I still consider him to be one of the best junglers but I wouldn't say OP.

My reason for this being that he has the best sustain atm. He can farm his jungle and gank when he sees an opportunity whereas most junglers would be low from the new harder hitting jungle.

This isn't a problem lategame but early game only Udyr can match his sustain but even then he uses a ton of mana.

As for his ult nerfs I don't think they're a problem. Unless you're really far behind suppressing a squishy results in them being killed by your team or you.

No he's not. He got hit by the nerf train. His early clear speeds took a huge hit with the nerf to his W. His ult had its CD and damage majorly nerfed over the span of two patches. One item that was overly effective on him was nerfed heavily, while the other was changed so it doesn't work with his ult at all. Warwick can still be effective but is far from overpowered. In a few weeks I fully expect his win rate to stabilize around 50%.
