Good job on the WW update you managed to make a bad champion even worse

I have logged a few thousand ranked matches on WW over the years and this rework is beyond terrible. I don;t know why riot picks and chooses favorites but they do. I don't think any other champion in the history of league and has their base stats pre nerfed so hard to ensure their steroids only make them average than the new WW.

sure his visual is nice, sure his E is an improvement, sure the small leap on his q is an improvement, but none of it compensates enough for the MASSIVE nerf to base stats, also his ULT is worse, his blood scent is worse (might be map wide but no vision the old version with a smaller range and vision was far superior) losing the AS steroid also weakened him.

Over all WW is a much weaker champion than he was before infact i will say he is garbage right now and only has a brief period during a match when there is some skirmishing that allows him to be "good". In the end WW is significantly weaker now that before this rework and he was pretty mediocore to bad before it.

This is simply not true. I don't understand what inspired this post. Was it supposed to be satire?

i'm 100% in favor of the ult nerf. Warwick stayed garbage tier for over two years now purely because of his passive and his ult. He had too much free sustain to be healthy in the toplane, and his ult - by design - secured a free kill every time it was up. Warwick was a champion with a point and click kit whose entire power budget was placed on to a spell whose counterplay consisted of not being in range in the first place - a concept broken by Flash and the chaos of a teamfight.

As it stands, i do think that warwick's ult damage is pretty pathetic right now in comparison to what it was previously. However, this is purely the difference between being 100-0'd by a point and click suppress and being 100-30'd.

i think once people's expectations for warwick's ult damage adjust to fit the new kit in its entirety, they'll realise that warwick's gained enough power in other places that he doesn't need his old ult back.

Yeah, warwick's base stats are garbage now. If you want to look at a real rape, though, consider what they did to Tristana.

Uh oh you better get the message out to Unicorns of Love before they pick him again

New WW is crazy squishy to be honest. It really threw me off how he has to build pure tank and still dies in a few hits. Does that mean he is bad? Not really, it just means his incredibly low armor and HP growth are giving him an identity crises and Riot should adjust it.

Thats why they gave him dmg reduction.

Disagree. Search for some videos on the rework. He could use a small nerf, actually. His lifesteal is ridiculous.

He has a 48% Winrate right out the fucking gate. Do you know how many Reworks have a baseline winrate of 44% on launch? MOST OF THEM. Pretty sure he's not garbage, and before you say "It's low Elo, of course it's 48%", No. This is plat+, at a 24% playrate.

i cant speak to warwick's over-all power level at this moment, since i play at lower elos where people can't play champions with free-target dashes. Purely from a QOL standpoint, i think warwick's Q and ult feel really dumb and wonky. I don't mind him losing base stats, because if he was as chunky post-rework as he was pre-rework, his newfound mobility would make him pretty frustrating to play against imo. I think he needed to lose some stats. I don't know whether he needed to lose ALL of them, though. i trust your opinion well enough. Play some more games, perhaps, and keep us updated.
