I really hope the Warwick rework removes his 5 on-hit ult.

It is one of the biggest reasons why On hit items cannot be strong. If on-hit were to be strong cough feral flare cough Sated cough Warwick would become way over bearing to deal with because of his current ult.

Well, I find it interesting how in the cinematic, only one of his hands lights up during his shenanigans. I'm theorizing it might be some sort of execute now. But who knows :x

His lore says one of his arms came off, but a small arm started growing. Singed put on a metal arm that can be controlled by that small arm.

Where'd you see that?

Or that it looks like it may take a sec or 2 to channel or "boot up" once activated.

Except Shyvana, Koggles, and Hurricane have already corner on-hit effects down way before WW.

WW is ridiculous because of his passive and Q sustain. That will always be why he's broken. No one is scared of 5 on-hits in a little under 2 seconds that can easily be CC'd out. Heck, I'm sure an AA-Q-AA-TH from Shyvana accomplishes much more in much less. True, there may be some Muramana cheese now and then - but Jayce already got to that already anyway.

Clearly you were never ulted by Warwick when Sated was at it's prime. Getting ulted and then having him press Q and dying under turret from near full health wast not what i consider fun.

Kog might be a bit of a problem but that is more a result more if Hurricane not being healthy ever since it got crit chance and every marksmen that is not vayne, MF or Lucian buys it. It is not like Kog is doing great at the moment either.

That only leaves Shyvana as a potential problem but given she is not provided with the most reliable mobility or CC she is not as much of a problem as Warwick was when an on-hit item became strong.

As it is currently, CC negates WW ult's suppress (I'm not even sure if that part's true), but not the damage.

Fun fact: There's only two things that negate WW ult's damage: Invulnerability, and WW dying.

Fun fact 2: If WW is in revive state (item 3026, Zilean ult, etc), he doesn't actually count as dead. Meaning the damage continues.

Looked further into it, and the damage stops if you leave WW's range. This also applies (applied?) to Malz's ult. They made that change for offensive suppressions to stop them from being hamblasted by QSS/M-Scim. Still doesn't stop Alistar from ruining his day. Or pretty much any other support as most people will have an instinct to run away once WW gets CC'd.

What about his current ult with these items:item 1419 item 3153 item 3091 item 3124 item 3748 ? Answer: You one shot almost anyone you ult, and those you don't can be killed with a Q. Also slight misconception about his current ult. if you get out of it, you still take the damage, you just aren't CC'd.

Farther proof that he breaks on hit when it is strong.

Noxian Pride1 votes

Actually fun fact of the day: item 3124 doesn't actually function with WW's ult. You're probably better off building item 3026 because it makes it very difficult for the enemy team to stop your ult damage (The only ways to stop it are invulnerability and killing WW, and revive state doesn't count as dead, so even if they 'kill' you the damage will continue if you have it.)

I mean, I usually replace boots with GA, but regardless, I know Guinsoos does work on ult.

Noxian Pride1 votes

Friend, I literally just tested it to double-check that it hasn't changed.

Guinsoo's will get the extra 15 damage on-hit, but it will not stack its attackspeed/doublehit passive. You're considerably better off building Wit's End instead.

Im still glad they are already reworking this piece of junk.

His ult is a point and click ult that allows him to blink to his target. He Blinks That is the most annoying fact on his kit and so glad they are removing it for his new kit,

They are replacing it into a dash move and makes it feel more intimidating instead of a poof and your dead in an instant. Sooooo glad on that more then anything else because you can antiseptic it and have a chance to react to his BS.

Dont know how they will change it but his ult is such a mess.
