"bodyblocking" Warwick ult.

FireDrizzle··60 votes·1,794 views

Anyone else feel it should involve actual bodyblocking? Not standing behind Warwick, and having Warwick leap onto you instead of the adc in the opposite direction? This ability needs where the projectile starts from adjusted imo. I dont mind someone blocking my ult by being on or in front of me but behind?

This seems like a really frustrating problem to have. Unfortunately you won't get the attention for it that it deserves here in Gameplay.

You may have more luck with it if you post in report-a-bug.

It's not properly a bug, I believe the hitbox is intended to be that way, hence the suggestion to change it in a way that avoids improper bodyblocking

You'll drown in memes sadly. That's the new integrity of the reddit style boards.

Meanwhile front page. I guarantee you this has been read by a gameplay rioter. They read much more than they respond.

edit: Although, I'll add: that doesn't guarantee that it's been seen by the gameplay rioter who'd work on warwick.

Haha fair enough, I was simply responding to a fresh post about how it might belong in a different section of the boards. My point was that Rioters look at Report-a-bug fairly regularly. How much they look at gameplay is unknown.

I think it's because in the animation he steps back slightly

Makes sense, but they should probably still change it. Too frustrating and unintuitive to be worth it.

yeah. I tried to escape from someone. I just ulted them and died

Maybe it's intentional to reduce his escaping power with it? And no, I am not biased against Warwick, mastery 7 Warwick myself.

He is a diver, he should struggle to get away.

Honestly it fucks you more when you're trying to Q through the frontline and ult the backline.

In that case, they should just make it's ranged reduced when targeted away from enemy champions. Or they could make it's hitbox extend farther back when targeted away from enemy champions. But what the OP is talking about is simply unnecessary and unintuitive frustration.

they need to make it wider too, both to ease Warwick actually hitting consistently, but also to make it easier for a fat tank to avoid Warwick slipping right through them to the carries.

It would be cool if the hitbox got slightly wider the further he travels in his ult.

My Q as Sejuani gets blocked for the same reason. The hitbox for it is a tad ludicrous from the hind and sides if I can somehow Q hit them while trying to run away.

neh i like it, adds some actual counterplay to him escaping, his already slippery as fuck and it would be almost impossible to catch him if this was a thing and this is coming from someone with 300 warwick games.

"slippery"

Yeah, this is why I stopped playing him. Dota 2 hasn't had this problem with Slark's pounce. I also see this happening with Mundo's Q and Morgana's Q sometimes. For Mundo I guess it doesn't really matter that much, I mean it fits his character to wildly hit something next to him, but Morgana seems like a different kind of champion to me.
