Warwick Bandwagoners

Sure, a lot of people played Warwick before the new jungle item set and his ult was annoying, but it wasn't certain death for squishy champs. This is the excuse most people use to justify their abuse of his ridiculous damage output. Now it's a press R to kill the ADC/APC button. Anyone playing Warwick during this current patch is an unskilled player looking to win matches with an overpowered champ/build combo. Go ahead and deny it; you're probably one of them. Just had to say it.

they either want freelo, or got sick of getting their ass whooped by a warwick every time they tried to jungle with a fair champion.

He is most definitely overpowered. He not only excels in the new jungle but one would believe that they created the new jungle specifically for him. self sustain so he has no trouble farming, new jungle item synergies well with his ultimate. He has the ability to get ahead of any jungle opponent matched against him with no effort. He doesn't even have skillshots. Once he is level 6 he gets free ganks. Even if everyone rushed QSS they would be behind in their own lane against their own lane opponents and get steamrolled.

he was OP before

No, I don't feel he is. He wasn't OP before, he isn't now. The issue is just that the jungle is back to something around it's original state (in terms of how forgiving it is of low-sustain punks), which puts most of the folks that could burst down WW out of commission. WW hasn't become any more powerful than he was a few months ago, or a few months before that. People have just forgotten how to fight him, and some of the standard counters (AS debuffs a la LeeSin and Nasus , also item 3123 ) have been nerfed/removed. That does have an effect, but I swear <10% of the LoL population built , and both Lee Sin and Nasus needed nerfs more than they needed to remain counters to WW (although I don't think the AS debuff were what needed to get nerfed therein anyway) Solutions? Revert nerfs/removals. Ignore people who've forgotten how to play against him.

And no, I don't play WW but for the rare counterpick. Back in S1/S2, when not being able to gank pre-6 wasn't a big deal, I played him some, but I didn't jungle much and mostly jungled Mao when I did. S3 saw the rise of heavy aggro junglers, against which WW couldn't compete. By the time he had pulled of 1 gank, early aggro's would've pulled 2-4, and he couldn't keep up with the pressure. The last time I played WW was a couple months ago as a counter to a trynd top, and that mostly comes from being able to harass the Dumb Muscle with Q and having better innate sustain. That said, I couldn't kill him either (whoever blows their ult first in that match up loses.)

I kind of feel bad for the people who liked Warwick before all this went down. (Riot can check my account, I do not own, nor have I ever played him.)

He is without a doubt in Crazytown at the moment in my level of play at least (for this reason or that, he's there.) and needs to be fixed in some way, but it really seems like they are destroying him. I see all these changes on Surrenderat20, and it looks like he's going to be dead as dead can be until he gets reworked...whenever.

There's this thing called item 3102 it does this thing called negate Warwick ult entirely. And, if you were already getting your banshee popped before warwick ult as an adc, or an apc. You deserved to die anyways.

Warwick became not so often played for the very issue he still has. He's an R button bot O_o. But, back then, people were smart and bought banshees and made warwick blow up in aoe death. I don't know if none of you really pay attention. But, uh, 80% of Warwick's damage output is magic. His passive is magic, his ult is magic, his jungle item is active. He only does like 100 true damage to you. And Botrk only does like . . . maybe 80 to 100 if he even gets it. So, a Banshees will not only either A: negate everything entirely so long as you're untouched before. Or. make it so you survive anyways. :|.

And, before you complain about having to buy it on an apc, or an adc. It was actually a pretty staple item on them back in season 2 specifically because of these issues.
