Moderate damage, moderate tankiness, above average healing, conditional mobility, only 2 CC, of which one is a skillshot, easily kitable and grievous wounds fuck him. Easily shutdown in even slightly coordinated teams.
The only reason his winrate is high, is because people don't know how to deal with him.
I don't even play Warwick and I think he doesn't deserve to be nerfed.
MFW nobody clicks the link
He's well designed.
He's also overpowered and thus not balanced.
He is well designed for sure.
He is not balanced though
Nice meme.
Is this sarcasm? Because WW is the most broken jungler in the game atm.
Picked up Warwick not to long ago, and the problem with him is not that he's broken its that he forces the game to shift around him. thats not broken. "But... But.... I DONT WANT TO HAVE TO ADAPT MY PLAYSTYLE TO WIN AGAINST CERTAIN TEAM COMPS!" well sorry, thats warwicks ENTIRE PURPOSE.
Warick is designed so that you have to cater the game around him. It is VERY easy to do this, but the problem is, no one wants to adapt their play around something new. sure, you'll adapt your items to deal with the fed carry on the enemy team, but HEAVEN forbid you adapt your GAMEPLAY to deal with the champ who's desgined to force you to do that.
Warwick is like a good split push. If you see a splitpusher, you dont whine, "SPLIT PUSHING IS BROKEN. RIOT NERF THE CHAMP WHO IS DESIGNED TO TAKE TOWEERS ON HIS OWN BECAUSE HE TOOK TOWERS ON HIS OWN." You instead cater the game to deal with the splitpusher.
As someone who has played as and against warwick, heres what you need to do to beat him.
Play safe early, dont let him snowball his early power, or he'll never lose it
If you get low, BACK. if you dont you'll get ganked out of nowhere and be dead.
If you are trading with him early in a gank or in the jg, if you are losing health at equal rates, dont fight him. DO NOT FIGHT A WARWICK UNLESS YOU DEAL MORE DAMAGE THEN HIM. Remember, the lower he gets, the STRONGER he gets. his passive gives him bonus lifesteal when low, you need to kill a warwick fast, so let you ADC come help with a problem warwick
As a jg, he needs gold from kills/assists to get his tank items, until he does he will be decently squishy. as an enemy jg, invade him early with the help of your laner to make him gain an even greater gold deficit, you need to stop his snowball from rolling
if you do this, he should fall behind enough to be useless to his team, and then your jg, who should now be stronger then the warwick, can come invade him and make his day suck.
Warwick hasn't needed one buff or nerf since he got reworked, so he's definitely well balanced. I think the issue right now is, why is he so powerful right now, if he hasn't been this strong ever before.
They should fix PTA, not nerf Warwick.
His kit is definitely balanced. It's solid and you can't point at ONE particular part of his kit that is cancer or overpowered. His ult is dodgeable, his W gives you a warning, his fear needs to be charged.
He's just overtuned. Especially for such a reliable champion that lacks a clear weakness or counterplay pattern.
Compare him to Annie for example, another "easy" champion. Annie is weak when her stun is down, ult isn't up, she also doesn't have mobility and struggles when outranged. Warwick's biggest counterplay is Grievous Wounds and dodging his ult... that's about it. If you have no mobility you are mostly screwed.
Imho i think his early sustain should be nerfed a bit, so he isn't so safe anymore.
