Jaws of the Beast (Q)

[RANGE] 

50/60/70/80/90 Mana
6 sec Cooldown 

Warwick lunges forward and bites his target. While the key is held down, he will attach to the target then leap behind them. 

On release, deals [120% AD]+[90% AP] plus 6/7/8/9/10% of your target's maximum health as magic damage (applies On Hit effects). Heal 30/40/50/60/70% of damage dealt. 

While attached, Warwick is connected to the target and follows an movement they make.

AP WW isnt nearly OP, even with his slightly higher heal, more %-damage and higher manacosts atm on live.

Counterquestion: How many AP-WWs are actually played in lCS/in Challenger and how high is AP-WWs winrate in general? Never ever and low.

PLEASE RIOT :'( Dont kill playstyle-options like you did with many other champs like AD Nida, AP trist, AP Ali, AP GP, ADC Kennen, AP Malph, AP yi (ok he was OP), AP Nunu, AP Sion, AP Taric, AP Trynd and so on!

If AP WW will be op on live/lcs you can nerf him later on - if hybrid WW is op u can do the same like you would do it with AD/tanky WW aswell!

JUST GIVE AP-WW A CHANCE!

Sincerely a WW main since Season 1 (I want to play WW-only after he is live as standard, tanky, hybrid AND ap WW!)

AD Nidalee was toxic. All she gotta do is constantly AA-poke the melee guys at top lane, and when they're low enough, she would just execute with her RWQ combo.

AP Trist (old) was a hell lot more toxic. One E = 50% of your HP gets burnt with no counterplay.

So technically, I'm glad the AP ratio on Warwick's Q gets nerf. There's no reason for people going Deathcap except for some creative abusing jackasses. Typically how Reksai's Q got nerfed when she was constantly one-shotting people with her 100% AP ratio on her Q after release.
