After seeing how Sion looks, I can't wait to see what they have planned for Warwick!

LupusNox6 votes

They gave a small glimpse a while back about ramping sustain that made him a monster when it had full stacks, and a weird E active where he would leap forward and then backward

idk, i'd just like to see what they have planned

I remember them saying, months ago, that they were already working on the abilities. Anyone else thinking that Warwick my be coming this winter?

The guy working on his kit had stated that he stopped cuz he got pulled to work on a new champion

Well, that's still good news. In a way. And they might finish him up this winter. We may see him in February.

But in the other hand we had disastrous Cass rework

They'll fix Cass, all she really needs is number changes, her kit is still largely the same when you get past how they shuffled her damage around.

No. Reworks add counterplay. This makes champs weak. Sion got nerfed too.

I hope the new WW is fun to play; I never have any fun with the current WW, his kit has some pretty cool elements but I never have any fun with it; Sion was the same way, I'm hoping they do the same for WW

You should try the FF/BotRK/Wit's/Sorc/Sunfire/SV build (build order changes, final build usually doesn't unless you prefer FH). I run this build and have loads of fun, he's one of the only champions that can itemize for on-hit, resists, and LS, which is a nasty combo.

It's not about WW's damage, that part's not an issue; his kit just seems to lack interesting mechanics imo. All his abilities are targeted or toggle, and there isn't too much obvious interplay between them (they all sort of do their own thing, as oppose to, say, Ryze, where using the right combo of abilities in the right order is very important)

Well yeah, but I think people overestimate the importance of interactive skills for a compelling champion. Think about Udyr for example, and some of the crazy shit Trick does kiting a team through their base. It's not the mechanics you enjoy, it's the crazy shit you can get away with. In these scenarios, enjoying a jog through the enemy base or, in Warwick's case, a post-teamfight feast is actually enhanced by the simplicity of the kit. The real draw of this build for me isn't the damage (although winning duels is an important part of the build), it's the fact that when you get familiar with the build and the fights that you win, you end up in some really awesome scenarios where you steal a boatload of life and win a 1v3 after dipping down to 1 bar of hp or something.

I'm not saying your wrong, I just wish people would give simpler champions a shot more, and Riot should try harder to make compelling kits that don't need 3 extra normal abilities or paragraphs-long tooltips. I main Garen, and I honestly think he's just as fun and difficult to master as any other champion. Sure, his spell rotations take way less time to learn than Zed or something, but that time's pennies compared to the time it takes to push your champion to the absolute limit, and it's almost always really fun to do so.

I actually like Udyr, there's a lot of decision making that goes into playing him, he has interesting mechanics with how you manage your stances and bait people into your stun. WW just feels like: farm till 6 -> ult someone

It's also partially that WW was never a champion I understood; nothing in his kit really interested me, and I never bothered to invest a lot of time in learning him (played maybe a game or two and wasn't interested).

Wingling1 votes

Well that's kind of my point. I understand him not being as interesting as some other champions, but for simpler champions you can't just make a judgement after two games. Udyr, Ryze, Garen, and Warwick are all exceptionally simple characters, but after a lot of games you learn how to stance dance, how to pick your spell rotation, how to manipulate Garen's passive in lane and time W/R, and how to push the limits of your lifesteal while managing your mana costs and blood scent.

MrBuffington1 votes

Fair enough :) maybe I need more WW games lol, although since he is getting a rework sometime, maybe wait until then? I usually hop on the rework bandwagon :P

I main warwick jungle honestly after the past few reworks im kinda hoping they leave him alone...

Marthian1 votes

unfortunately, he probably will get a rework. His Ult has no counterplay (QSS is a terrible item) and it's difficult-impossible to escape from him when blood scent is up.

junglerboy162 votes

Well, it is supposed to be impossible to escape from his blood scent, that is one of the things they are probably going to leave alone.
