It's good, it's simple, it's fun. There isn't too much to say if we're talking about old Warwick vs new Warwick. The taunt is new, obviously, but everything else is mostly the same.
If you take him top, with practice, the enemy top laner will hate you.
Losing the point-and-click on the Ult took a bit of getting used to, as it can feel a bit clunky at first, but the increased range based on move speed more than makes up for it.
Losing the automatic healing on his passive was another slight disappointment when I first experienced the transition. Your healing is more effective now... but only when you're low, and it doesn't kick in at all until you're under half HP. However, you no longer need to stack your autos. You do more magic damage and it's consistent on hit. But you're not going to be soloing the dragon super early just cause you're WW. The big thing now is getting the epic monsters to half HP. Then your attack speed steroid kicks in and it's easy.
Those were the (seemingly) negative changes. But it all feels quite natural after getting used to it. You can chase people down... wherever they may be. You can see anyone who's under half HP (Well, you see their trail, but not who it is). Q healing is a bit more I think and locking onto people with dashes and whatnot is amazing. Having the damage reduction on E makes it so you can stack more HP than defenses and the Fear makes you incredibly more useful pre-6 than before. I've tried Bloodrazer and Cinderhulk and I think you actually do more damage as full tank with a Titanic now, which is great for your team. It's a shame the ult doesn't apply as many on-hits (used to be five times) but the 100% healing makes up for it, and you still do great damage.
All in all, it feels like they took everything cool about old WW, and made him a real champion; one of the best, who can really contribute to the team. And if you E before Ulting and the enemy is grouped, they ALL get feared immediately. It's an epic rework, to be honest. Hope you discover the same and make it fun
