The current state of warwick.

Riot seems to have completely ignored this champion based on the champion update/rework list. Warwick has a plethora of issues which include high mana cost which is common with all season 1 champions, a kit with next to 0 synergy, lacks an identity and has one play style. Warwick at higher elo's is way to easy to punish with next to 0 pressure pre 6 he lacks the mana pool or the CD to duel with any junglers in the early game! This wouldn't be a huge problem if they hadn't nefred the damage on his ult as well as increasing the CD. He has become the poor mans Vi in essence. My last point is based on the double standards of riot Ezreal mid with runeglaive was just as bad if not worse than Warwick top with skirmishers saber. In the first instance riot nerfed the runeglaive not ezreal but when it came to the second scenario they nerfed Warwick not skirmishers sabre to only go and nefr the saber later on with next to no compensation buffs.

Warwick can be pretty strong if he can reach his late game potential. The trick to playing Warwick is to get Thornmail, Devourer, Wits End, and maybe Abyssal staff(for the magic resist) and then you just melt auto attackers with the Thornmail while sustaining with Warwick's passive and you can chunk tanks if you have full magic penetration with his Q. Never build AD items on WW, he doesn't have anything besides his ult that scales off AD which mostly does magic damage.

Warwick has a shitty early game because his mid to late game is fucking monstrous.

Sated Devourer, Blade of the Ruined King, and Wit's End make him almost impossible to duel. With those three damage items alone he deals insane single target damage, and then can build straight tank and be hard as shit to kill due to his insane lifesteal.

He has the highest win rate in the jungle right now in plat and up. He doesn't need buffs, though he probably does need a rework.

I agree with you. I phrased it poorly. i simply want him reworked from having that 1 dimensional play style i.e. wait to 30-40 mins and win!
