@Reav3 AP Warwick is getting nerfed instead of buffed

This update was the perfect occasion to give AP Warwick some more tools than just melee poke. Instead, he just lost 10% of his AP ratio and the ability to proc spell effects. What the hell Riot?!? What about variety? WHY THE HELL DO YOU KEEP KILLING OUR CHAMPS?

ap warwick is buffed, why are you complaining? oh it's 90% instead of 100%, such gutted

Q scales with base AD so it's still extra damage on AP builds, it has a flat value AND a % instead of choosing between which one is greater

item 1414 item 3100 item 3115 item 3089 and Q will 1-shot a squishy

RQ combo gives you two lich bane procs and applies Nashor's 4 times, basically triples your ult damage or more

AP WW will be too slow to play him in jungle i guys. atm not viable. u need aswell item 3135 or at least item 3151 item 3020 to get not countered by 1 MR item now.

  • your Q heal on minions will be reduced 30-70% heal + % damage on minions (less heal)

  • you cant play him kinda serious without 1-2 defitems at the end or you get bursted. i dont think you can play WW with nashors at start or even as 2nd or 3rd item, because good opponents will burst you down.

  • if the enemy stacked HP: old WW > new WW

  • if you build AP: old WW > new WW

  • old WW ulti used nashors 5 times (still not that op)

pros of the new WW:

  • less manacosts

  • lower cd: allways 6

  • Q will use passive 1 time :P

  • AD scaling

--> only stronger if you dont play WW with AP and the enemy didnt stack HP

==> but AP WWs strength (on live) is to counter tanks and champs without MR. The new AP WW is weaker against hp tanks, MR tanks (because u cant heal that good on minions instead).

They buffed onehit-tanky WW, but nerfed AP WW

Maybe just enjoy what they're doing to make the champ fresh again and be happy that they actually want new WW to be balanced on release. We all go through nerfs, and WW's still good with ap. 90% is some serious shit, man. Like, that's a lot of ap.
