"let's make a better DrainTank than Aatrox"

Warwick has pretty much always been a better drain-tank than Aatrox.

Aatrox is bad because he's 100% stat check. I don't know how WW will play out in live, but I don't think it's going to be the same level of binary that Aatrox has.

I say this as a long-time critic of CT.

aatrox is the worst drain tank in the game

y are you complaining about warwick when swain, even olaf all do it better

so what changed exactly

"Lets take an existing draintank who is already better than Aatrox and make them viable." Fix'd

A drain-tank-stat-check champion actually isn't as bad in the jungle because junglers aren't constantly facing off against another champion but instead watching the movements of everyone on the map to make an advantageous play somewhere.

Plus Warwick's whole thing is finding already low-health targets and making their lives hell which leaves room to balance him around not really winning straight 1v1's and instead waiting for someone weak to show up and let him feed off of.
