If you are going to force WW into the jungle, at least make his clear time reasonable

I play a ton of warwick. So I put together a build optimized to clear jungle fast using all the masteries that enhance jungle and taking 21% attack speed in my runes. Yet despite doing everything to jungle fast, I've been in multiple games where Rengars are 2 levels higher than me very quickly. Same thing with Lee Sin, Shyvana, and several others. I remember a designer commenting they wanted WW as jungle-only. Please give him the tools to do the job. When Feral Flare came out there was a series of knee-jerk nerfs to Warwick. One of them was a 40% nerf on the duration of his attack speed buff W. This had nothing to do with his ult's synergy with Feral Flare but really hurt his jungle clear time. He had a 10 second duration since 2009 and nobody was complaining about it. Now its 6 seconds, a full 40% less. Now he is extremely slow in jungle and its frustrating to watch other champs clear much faster while still having plenty of time to gank. You pushed him into the jungle, now please give him some tools to clear more competitively. I thought a goal of league was to make every champion reasonably competitive. That is certainly not the case of Warwick in the higher ELOs. Last time I saw a win rate for warwick in diamond on lolnexus it was 43%.

His clear time is purposely low to compensate for how ridiculously strong his ganks are post 6

Not to mention the fact that you can jungle without potions or runes.

Those champs arn't 2 levels ahead of you because they clear faster. They are 2 lvls up because they are ganking, likely before 6 which warwick cant really do.

He could gank better if his E wasn't absolute, outdated garbage that alerted everyone vulnerable that he was ganking.
