A Shaco Main thinking about Warwick, and why Warwick's update is crucial to the Vision Game
With the upcoming 
update, I pray Riot lets Warwick keep his Blood Scent, but turns it into a detection effect. As a Shaco main, it always bothered me that Shaco's invisibility superseded WW's Blood Scent. That said, if Blood Scent didn't grant sight, but instead detected the enemy, it would be good for both of them.
I personally imagine a reddish-orange version of 
's Poison Trail. Similar to Red Trinket, and Rek'Sai's Tremor Sense, it would give information to Warwick and his team, but NOT provide targetibility. Not providing targetibility is great for invisibility, as the invis still offers some protection against basic attacks and targeted abilities. Not only would it be a real-time update of where WW's prey is while juking through brush and being invisible, it also provide info as to if the enemy was near or not! Similar to Singed's Poison Trail and Ekko's Hologram, it could extend 4 or more seconds behind his prey.
It would capitalize on his theme and fantasy as a lycanthrope, emphasize his canine attributes, make him feel like a hunter, identify him as a powerful jungler, be incredible utility even regardless of the enemy team-comp, and crucially make him a counter weight to pool of invisible champions, and, with his weight in place, allow for some QoL buffs for the stealth crew, and maybe even open up the possibility for other instances and expressions of invisibility!

It can't be overstated how important this update is for the health of the game as a whole. Riot is on the money when it comes to effects like 
's Tremor Sense and the Sweeping Lens' Silhouette. The game needs effects like these to exist if invisibility and stealth are to be an exciting and engaging option for both parties involved. Bonus points if they can keep WW's Howl in some form.
For the love of 
, 
, 
, and League itself, don't miss this opportunity Riot, please!
This is one in a series of posts I'm going to make about the vision game, because I don't want Riot to get the wrong idea and move away from detection effects, i.e. the community has to embrace these 'info but no targetibility' effects!
