Warwick needs nerfs

Elohaven··14 votes·2,192 views

This champion with predator+W skill+ghost is insane and his snowball is incredible. He is set back with an invasion but one or two early kills will make him a monstrosity to kill and a heavy damage dealer that bursts.

A single Q can deal 50% of a squishy's health and one damage item gives him insane sustain and burst.

Hopefully his base HP or passive lifesteal can be addressed as reasonable nerfs or his E damage reduction.

Definitely in need of a nerf.

His win rate is finally down a bit this patch, but he's been sitting at the top of the Jungler list for awhile now. Kit's just way too good.

He does indeed fall off a bit later, but his early game is like Lee Sin's on steroids. Damage reduction, stickiness, hard CC, lifesteal, dashes, unstoppability... Extremely overloaded.

Warwick was one of the healthiest reworks in LoL,but after the release of the new rune system he has been doing like really well. Any movement rune(Celerity,Waterwalking,Relentless Hunter) or even Predator synetgizes too well with his W and R. Tbh,all cbampions with so much mobility (Ww, Heca and sometimes Rammus) are bound to cause problems sooner or later. Mobile champions can just escape them,while many immobile ones just get screwed over.

Warwick is very strong but is also very susceptible to crowd control and ignites and stuff. I play morgana and I just put the black shield on when he tries to ult me and then I snare him and walk away lol. But if I'm playing someone like diana or some other immobile melee champion it's really hard to survive his ganks or duel him later with all his sustain. There might be a better way he can be balanced idk

So basically what you're saying is you just played against a Warwick who got fed and stomped you and now you need to rant about how "op" he is just because he was fed?

I don't care enough to check your match history. Warwick is widely considered the most balanced champion in the game and he's also one of the most counterable, that's a fact. Git Gud.

God damn these boards never cease to amaze me.

Both the OP and I are at a higher level of play than you. Bronzies don't know how to properly play Warwick due to his high skillcap, so yeah I can imagine he's not as overbearing at that elo. I'm not sure how you or anyone else has come to the conclusion that he's League's most balanced champion, however, since he has been sitting at the top of the Jungle list for months now.

His lifesteal, especially on his Q and R, needs to be gutted. That's the fact.

Aww how cute, you had to resort to rank shaming since you have no argument against my facts. First of all, I'm not bronze. Second, Warwick absolutely does not have a high skillcap... lol. Third, there has been countless posts with 75+ upvotes that have stated Warwick is the most balanced champion in the game, and even a Rioter agreed. Fourth, Thornmail completely fucks him, he doesn't need any lifesteal gutted. These boards never cease to amaze me as well, arrogant people like you seem to be quite common around here though. Please, try again. :)

Everyone is entitled to have their opinion here. There's no need to throw in passive aggressive comments when someone doesn't agree with you. Let's keep it civil and all get along https://i.imgur.com/r6NxXau.png[/img]

No - his lifesteal shouldn't be gutted.

Warwick is mostly balanced in his kit. He just needs a light nerf on some numbers. His weaknesses are obvious - just difficult to capitalize on currently with how strong he is.

what on earth did u just say... ww high skillcap? WUT? i am lvl 7 ww.. the ONLY ability he has that requires ANY skill is his E. i mean new ww players mght not know you can do things like press W to scout to see if the enemy is at drag or baron without wards.. but.. his kit is pretty fucking damn simple..

High skillcap champions can still be easy to play, it just means that they have the potential to be played at a higher level of play. Warwick is one of them, as there's a lot to his kit that can separate good players from bad players.

And yes, again, I will stand by the fact that his healing needs to be gutted. I've seen Warwick 1v3 early game. The healing on his ult is especially ridiculous.

You said I posted this because I lost to a Warwick recently when I didn't.

Fact is - you're wrong <Removed By Moderation>

Second, he has a 53% winrate and has a 56-57% winrate in games from 0-20 minutes and 54-57% winrate with games spamming from 0-30 minutes which are easy to close out by that time. His lategame is horrid.

Just because a champion's kit is balanced doesn't mean it may need some fine-tuning. Nunu is a fine example.

Vayne is also an example of a champion who simply became meta due to circumstance and numbers.

Arrogant people like you never cease to amaze me. Please try again :)

I never said his kit was balanced, I said the champion was balanced as a whole. Bring up winrates all you want, but there is many other factors to whether or not a champion is balanced. You have literally posted like 5 threads today alone and they're all stupid lmao.

He falls off pretty hard after laning and his q is his only real damage source aside from ult so saying it chunked a squishy target when he's ahead and built damage doesn't really mean much since every champion can do that

WW doesn't run predator or ghost Flash and PTA both have significantly higher pickrates as well as higher winrates

So tired of ww winning games on his own. This game seems like league of two champs.... ww and yi. if your jg doesnt pick one of them, its gg.. 3/4 of my losses are due to ww and yi. I am really tired of it at this point....
