Warwick seems a bit overbearing

Admittedly, I haven't played a bunch of games with/against him as the patch is pretty fresh, but I did see him on the PBE so it's not a total gut reaction.

Basically, he takes the Champion Smite and gets a hefty amount of true damage added onto his ult. If he gets well ahead and picks up a Wit's End or w/e, he's able to 100->0 non-tanks with a simple Smite->Ult. I can't imagine that his ult was ever intended to do something like that as there's nothing one can do about it except pal around with an ally who can interrupt.

I'm betting (hoping) what I've seen have been edge cases, but they've been very scary edge cases.

I saw this in a game earlier as well. Provided we couldnt knock him off, it was a guarenteed 100-0, almost every time. I know Riot nerfed the CD on his ult, but I somehow dont think this was an intended effect. It was pretty clear that after he picked up the jungle item that he got very fed, very quickly, no matter what we did to try and stop him. (( link here, he bought it at 13 min and the game was over by that point http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1637793129/42808045?tab=overview&participant=1 ))

There is 0 counterplay for the person getting ulted. I know WW is a bit of a one trick pony when it comes to ganking, but I dont think his ult is supposed to be THIS strong.

Rito pls .-.

Eh I would rather them just go back to last season's jungle items than this. Playing Khazix is way too hard now. And having to back at level 2 from too much damage just leaves a bad feeling in your system.
