Have never made a post or started a discussion. I am SO worked up about this. I do not understand why people harp and swear because a warwick is not playing jungle.... People get really really worked up about it... Yea i get it most players play warwick jungle, make build guides and videos etc..... Then at the end of the game when we have won and the WW gamer has a WAY better K/D then they do, they do not have anything to say. Who says warwick is strict jungle....? RIOT?!?!?

you googled warwick builds and the majority is jungle... SO????? what? oh you conform and follow

SHEEP!!!!

The short answer is, Meta.

I've thought about this same concept in my first days of LoL: Why not play jungle caitlyn or rek'sai support? And the reason is that some champions are IMMENSELY better in certain roles, like jungle warwick. Some roles even weaken certain champions.

Lets say for example you took warwick in bottom lane. As a melee champion with a lack of poke, you will EASILY be damaged down by ranged marksman and heavy crowd control supports that occupy this role. You will fall behind very quickly and eventually start dying because you have been starved of gold and experience, leaving you under-leveled and very squishy. With no gold, you won't be able to buy damaging items, so not only are you an easy kill that makes the enemy stronger, but you also have little to no impact on the game at all in return.

You've given the enemy team an insane boost and made the match-up unfair, and obligated your team to sit through a 20-45 minute beatdown, in a game that is extremely competitive. You've set off a dire, infamous fuse that is "feeding."

Now, in regards to warwick Warwick specifically, as a jungler, you can make the most of your W. As a jungler, early vision of you is not nearly as common as you in lane, so you can use your W to find free targets to get the element of surprise on, and help other laners stay stronger than the opponent. If you try roaming while playing a lane, even half-good players will have the map awareness to see that you are missing, and will hover around tower until you have been seen again, or ward up. This element of suprise is one of the things that makes warwick so scary to fight.

Try to remember your allies' perspective in this team game. If you play poorly or unconventionally, this WILL set people off. The better/conventional player you are, the more people will like you here.

you can play anything in any of the roles. You can play Sona ADC if you want, you can play mid Soraka. you can play Jungle Soraka. Is it going to be effective? incredibly doubtful. Warwick was designed to be a jungler that's where his kit shines and can be used to the fullest. You can play him top, mid, support, ADC and you might even do relatively ok there but you aren't going to be able to use his kit to it's maximum potential

if you want to play him top, play him top. If someone gives you a hard time, mute them.

Most jungles can be played in the top lane. You will loose their roaming capabilities during the lanimg phase and maybe be more susceptible to cc. I think this is what he's talking about. Most championships have a major and a minor role.
