Warwick's W

TheMothPrince··6 votes·955 views

I like his new blood scent, but I cannot actually tell which trail leads to which champion, without searching for them on the map to check. Can we a map indicator, or a marking on the trail that tells which trail leads to who. (Only if they are actually visible on the map to begin with, I don't want him buffed.).

Why does the trail matter if you can see them on the map? The trails are only useful when tracking in fog of war.

The movement speed, and the active attack speed buff.

movement speed buff is only if you're moving in their direction, attack speed buff is only when attacking someone on low health, the blood trail just shows you the shortest path between you and a low health target, which you can already deduce if they're on the map.

The attack speed buff works when activating his W. There can be multiple paths leading to other targets as well. Also, you cannot see whether you are being lead to the correct target you have vision, because you can't see their health just from the mini map, which is exactly why an indicator would be reasonable.

It does not. His W briefly reveals all enemies and then Blood Hunt's the closest one. Blood Hunt is the blood trail and the movement speed, not the attack speed.

You can see them on the map, you can see all the terrain on the map, you can see what their health is, I don't understand what other information you want.

Not to be rude, but I don't think you've researched this. "Warwick has increased attack speed against Blood Hunted targets and massively increased out-of-combat movement speed when moving toward them." Yes, the active does grant attack speed on the target. And No, the trail does not grant vision. This is getting off topic, reread OP. I want an indicator of WHICH CHAMPION is WHICH TRAIL, because the time to check which trail is leading to whom on the mini map, is enough time for champions to heal (Say, with warmogs.) or back, before Warwick can gap close them, because the trail will disappear, not to mention, that the trail can be difficult to see.

"PASSIVE: Warwick gains bonus attack speed against all enemies below 50% of their maximum health. 「 BONUS ATTACK SPEED: 50 / 65 / 80 / 95 / 110% 」 Enemy champions below that amount are also Blood Hunted, granting him bonus movement speed while moving toward them as well as highlighting their position to his team. 「 BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED: 35 / 40 / 45 / 50 / 55% 」 The bonus movement and attack speed are tripled against enemy champions below 20% maximum health. ACTIVE: Warwick briefly senses all enemies and then Blood Hunts the nearest enemy champion within a large radius for 8 seconds, regardless of their current health."

The attack speed is a separate effect from the blood trail and movespeed even though they are both triggered by enemies below 50% health.

I played a quick custom game with him this morning.

Regarding your feature request, you should simply check with your camera, moving the camera around the map and back to your character quickly is a skill that every player needs to learn.

It's simple, you're not always looking at the enemy champions, so while you're busy paying attention to something else, when W triggers and has a trail pointing a certain direction it's saying "Hey dumbass, look at the champion that's this way!" so you don't have to look at each one and guess who it is wasting time.

What is the "Something else" you are referring to? The W can trigger for any low heath target, only the active shows the nearest target, and they can be full heath and still grant the buffs.

Something else refers to whatever isn't enemy champions, like say the camp you're killing or whatever the situational object of current attention interest is.

But if they're visible on the map and blood hunt triggers you can quickly move the camera over and see who has low health and where they are. Putting character icons tied to all the blood trails (which already look a little spastic and make the screen very busy) is a lot of visual mess for information that is already readily available.
