Have Warwick's ult pounce towards people, not teleport

It's kinda silly that a werewolf can teleport. Make him pounce towards people, may look cooler.

Anivia flies low enough that Garen can hit her with a sword. That's kinda silly too

Nah, Anivia is just a nice bird and likes to give everyone a fighting chance before their inevitable frozen demise.

I agree Anivia should walk on feet.

Corki I could just shoot them from the sky but that isn't fair, I gotta make sure I'm close enough to the ground to be dunked like the others.

I usually put Corki and Anivia in the same boat that way. Guess I just forgot this time.

Corki's just going green. He'd use too much fuel if he was too far up all the time. Look at all that exhaust he puts out on his Valkyrie.

It's silly that a werewolf can teleport it's also pretty silly that we have werewolves I dont question league the norm is is silly

Just. Unless they are going to buff or fix puppywick, just leave him alone. The nerfs were enough then his texture rebalance makes him into a dark blue mess.

I couldn't care less how cool he is, he functions like ass right now.

What Warwick needs & sounds like he may one day get,is a Sion-ing. I heard his update was put on hold.

Silents4291 votes

They shelved his idea to go rework other champions, so hopefully Yorick gets fixed soon to make the wait easier.

Um.........you might not want to say soon. According to what RiotScruffy said here - http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/9tNOPRJQ-update-for-the-champion-update-schedule?comment=0003 They just started on Yorick,so he's a ways off.Meaning we definitely won't see him till sometime next year or even 2017.

Silents4291 votes

2017 is a wee bit ahead of their. Maybe next season, but it isn't going to take them 2 years.

And I am sure Yoricks will come out before Warwicks anyway.

And make it so we can interrupt that pounce in mid air like a Tristana rocket jump.

Rocket Jump isn't an ult.

Or maybe your eyes aren't fast enough to see him go at the speed of Dragonball Z fights.

Its looks silly, but is there for gameplay reasons.

Then make it a pounce but like malph's ult, high projectile speed and no way to stop it (except bard's ult maybe?)

SpiritGear2 votes

make it like Vi's

MrBuffington2 votes

That's what Zenonthestoic's rework had, among other things. Unfortunately it's been scrapped for the time being

Won't make him viable though

Orrrrrrr.... just buff his ult damage like it was. Teleporting warwick means nothing if your ult is literally scratching them with no damage at all.

The Bard Dog1 votes

warwick shouldn't have a ton of damge from his ult. his ult already guarantees a no-risk kill on any laner he decides to gank.

Simplicate1 votes

Warwick is getting a complete rework soon especially on his ult. You wont be able to just jump onto someone from nowhere but kinda just run into them but still be able to lock them down i think. Won't stop me from flashing onto you and still ulting tho :P

WOLFJOB1 votes

Skillnshot r on ww, would not be bad. I'd love some improved emotes and maybe a bandage to cover that hole in his nose on default skin splash. Please riot dont make him a yordle.

AFK Push1 votes

Warwick is so ult dependent, that we should be looking at other parts of his kit like his W or E, those parts of his kit are significantly weak unless we are talking about specific scenarios.

tempname129c1 votes

If they change it to a pounce, then I presume it can be stopped mid-flight, and therefore counter-able. Ergo, if this change is ever made, they should lower the cool-down on it, and tone down the damage as needed.

EvilRabbitt1 votes

I foresee Vayne's condemn becoming next level if they do this.

Ironclad Dragon1 votes

I've always wondered why such a potent ability didn't have any sort of telegraphing. Warwick doesn't leap or give any indication of activating it; he's automatically on you.

TenSlashTen1 votes

People say the same thing for annies ult. But do you mean the animation or do you mean thrown ult like sej?

Because ww's ult is really all he has going for him if you nerf it he's going to be completely worthless. Riot ruined his kit not too long ago and he's been hurting really badly. You're forced to go red smite or suffer badly now lol Was trying to play cho to counter vlad/cho top and his W nerf was so bad I couldn't trade with either post 9 because it just sucked butts lol the 1-2 auto attacks you miss out on are huge in trading damage

One thing about videogame design: when you press a button, the character has to animate to make that movement immediately, so the player feels like the character is reacting accordingly to their clicks. Check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coCsLWqT3v0&feature=player_detailpage#t=346

Now, a difference between Punch Out and League is that you DO care about your character's animation more, since you're watching them fairly often, so it is reasonable to want their moves looking smoother. If Warwick went through a full pounce, though, to keep the same level of lockdown his ult currently dishes, he would have to move faster than looks reasonably believable, and the animation would probably look weird as a result.

That being said, I think Warwick needs some pretty big changes to prevent him from feeling like a really passive autoattacker. An ult change is probably one of those.

its a magic werewolf silly

It will come with his update, coming SoonTM.

Until then, Riot is going to leave him in a poor state because if he is strong he gets a kill every gank and then 1 shots the carry mid-late game

Warwick needs a total ground-up rework anyways, lets think bigger than just "Hey isn't it weird that teleporting wolves are a thing?"

BloodLynx1 votes

This is from a time ago but warwick has a rework coming up at some point.

This would change how the move works... but it would make Veigar happy with his wall that now stops dashes!

In all seriousness, WW has been rumored for a heavy rework for a while, so they probably won't bother changing him all that much until his rework.

Rikari1 votes

You took his feral flare. You took his devourer. You took his sustain. Now you want to give his ult away? Thresh would approve,but i dont.

SociopathFriend1 votes

Honestly I never really hated that until recently- I was Brand and I fired my Q and an enflamed WW and his ult let him jump right past it and kill me. Not saying I would've lived anyways- but he would've had to work harder than just pressing R. He would need to right click at least 2 more times :P

JimmyNtheKudos1 votes

I think WW is one of those champions in need of a serious VU

Sassmast3r1 votes

Meh, wouldn't the animation make it look as if it could be interrupted though, and aren't ults not supposed to be interruptible?

Toa of Death1 votes

Nami heals Brand. Sona can be silenced. Teemo can blind Lee If that can all happen, then a werewolf should be allowed to teleport.

Rıots Bad Client1 votes

I would buff WW ult, and if he ults someone and they die in the time they are suppressed he would go to the closest enemy and do it on them.
