We need a tanky on-hit item, armor/hp oriented, with magic damage

I haven't played WW top since madred's bloodrazor was removed. Today I tried it off again, and definitelyitem 3091 isn't enough, I become useless without mana, and I can't really come up with a decent build. Devour is only available in jungle, and BOTRK only deals physical damage (while WW's passive, q and R all deal magic damage thus I use magic pen marks on WW) which just doesn't suit his overall tune.

I have always been hating BOTRK since I was a WW main while bloodrazor was removed, and I never found anything that can really replace it in WW's build until that torch thing and devour, but what about laning WW? I really want to play him at top, that probably has been my most enjoyable time at top lane. I still remember how I calculate, manage my mana and enemy damage, trade and zone with Q, think hard about strategy against kiting, baiting and ulting people under turret. After three years I still remember all those details. Please Riot I really want WW top to be viable again

It's physical, but that actually makes it more interesting. A mixed damage WW is even better than a pure magic damage one.

Alright, I just tried it, its... fine. It's ok, has decent damage, and most importantly gives WW the waveclear he doesn't have (he can build sunfire tho) Apart from that, well ..... I still want a magic damage on-hit

WW top was cancer.

Absolutely not.

There are other tanky on-hit champions, like Udyr, while a bunch of squish on-hit champions can also build it as situational item as well.

We need an MR item that helps tanks fight back first. Something like Sunfire, Thornmail, Iceborn.

They're going to rework Warwick someday soon(like next 3 years), so until then, any viable Warwick build is just a happy accident. Like Skirmisher's Saber, where Warwick got played for like 2 weeks before they smacked him in the face, took away his toy, and shoved him back in the cellar again. If they make another item he can use, they'll just take another 100 damage off his ult and change the item so he can't use it anymore.

Create a new item, Malady. Ruby Crystal + Recurve Bow. Bit of OnHit magic damage, attack speed, and HP. Nothing fancy.

Malady then gets combined with a Recurve and one big defensive item to build into other stuff. Negatron gets you Wit's. Chain Vest gets you Madred's. Giant's Belt gets you Ionic Spark. QSS gets you Dervish Blade. Warden's Mail gets you Faebane (steals base attack speed).

There you go. Whole suite of tanky OnHit magic damage items.
