This dude is sitting as the number 1 jungler in NA. Not a QQ just a real curiosity. I have always thought of him as mediocre at best. What changed?

The new fervor gives AD. His ult I think scales with bonus AD.

Warwick is an on-hit champion, so fervor was a nerf to him.

It looks like he's still using it. And his ult has a 200% AD ratio.

60 AD with 200% AD ratio is 120 damage. 112 on-hit x5 hits is 560 damage. So the rise in win rate isn't fervor.

because some people cant even dodge point and click ults

My best guess is the buffs to Guinsoo's Rageblade and BotRK, both items commonly built on Warwick.

there is such a tiny, minuscule amount of games played as him that the actual statistics aren't trustworthy. You need a larger data sample to rely on the data

He's one of the least picked champions, especially in plat and higher which is what op.gg uses for their statistics. Even if you just scroll down slightly to people that play him, the person who's played him 10th most has 19 games on him. So the very few people that play him in higher elo might know how to play him well enough to have a slightly above 50% winrate.

I thought clickbait titles were against board rules?

Maybe I am reading too much into it though.

have you ever looked at the front page? so many of them are literally clickbait > pun

my guess is the botrk buff making it actually useful on him again. 4% max hp from jg item + redsmite + botrk's 8% current means his ult does a LOT of upfront damage premitigation.

Also the pickrate is super low, so he is probably just still being picked by mains and/or in the exact right games.
