New warwick vs volibear

After looking at new warwick and thinking about his abilities, I started thinking about his new roar and first thing that came to mind was volibears roar. Then i started comparing the 2 champs abilities, possible builds ect. Coming to the conclusion that besides having different passives and ults, new ww does mostly everything voli can but better.

They can both get very tanky (Assuming new ww is as tanky as old ww) with voli being more slightly more tanky but can still get blown up if his team doesnt follow up or gets cc/focused down.

Gota go fast: Voli runs somewhat fast for a few seconds and flip you doing little bonus aa dmg. Warwick "can" run at you at mach 5 with a trial leading to you for what looks like to be 1/4-1/3 the map and "can" ult suppress you while being immune to cc. Its also safe to assume that his run can be cc just like volis. Now obviously warwick wins here being able to run faster and further then voli while also having a trail leading to the target.

Bites/attack speed steroids: Both get attack speed bonuses and do more damage when enemy is low hp but volis was nerfed awhile back, while new warwick attack speed steroid seems to be on par, but can also be more then voli depending on enemy hp I dont know the exact numbers for warwick yet but the ability reveal and gameplay looks to be that way. (assuming your not building attack speed on either of them this is just based off of base stats). Voli bite has to be charged up with 3 aa. This attack speed steroid gain per aa, (in my opinion) seems really weak when trying to fight other junglers like hec, vi, shyvana, yi and even lee sin. However pulling off a bite still does a shit load early and mid game. Late game your bite can blow up a squishy carry however, its pretty hard trying to stick to that carry late game even when building frozen mallet for a long enough time to charge your bite up without getting blown the fuck up or cc to death being in the middle of the enemy team. Warwick bite does some damage, heals him if hes half hp, allows him to stick to his target and has a bigger bite range than volis on top of that having a much lower cooldown and no aa charge up. I gota say I think warwick wins here with his bite being more versatile and allowing him to stick to his target better.

Roars: Volis roar only fears monsters and slows champions thats it. Warwick roar having a very small charge time, gives him bonus armour, mr, fears champions, monsters and with the ability reveal it seems it has a wider radius. Warwick pretty much dominates here.

Ults: Warwick leaps does damage and suppresses target adding that his leap can be increased depending on how fast he is going. Combining warwick ult with ghost and his w, his leap can get as far as zac sling shot which in lane im gona go out on a limb and say warding against that is going to be a real pain. If you get low and warwick has ult up, you may as well be dead even under turret since his leap is immune to cc and with the turrets being what they are right now, hes tanky enough to dive you. Voli just adds chain lighting to his aa scaling with ap plus base dmg. Early and mid game this ability will chunk single targets just with base stats alone, but late game however his ult is basically unnoticeable in terms of damage. Also adding that they are still auto attacks which means he can be cc, kited and avoided. Warwick wins here no question.

Honestly after all this the only thing that voli can do better and differentiate himself from warwick is that he can be a slightly bigger tankier meat shield with a hp regen passive that can be stopped if hes chunked down fast enough. I really think volibear will need a little push in the right direction when warwick gets released or even a small rework.

What do you guys think?

Voli is just average right now. Warwick has a lot of built in sustain and looks harder to peel. Will have to wait and see, but he looks to be a lot stronger champ than voli. And he may have a faster easier jungle clear as well.

I don't see how he could be squishier other than because he may build more damage and less tanks. Voli has nothing to make him tankier aside from a Regen passive. And Warwick looks like he would have loads of sustain just with a bork.

Too early to tell but Warwick looks strong as hell from what I've seen.

Volibear has more burst with his bite imo. It actually makes me afraid to ever fight Volibear for more than a second. On anyone.

But for his bite to do anything you have to be 1/3-1/4 hp but i did mention his bite does alot early and mid game. All tanks do alot of damage around that time because of their high base stats

  1. Volibear is a juggernaut.
  2. The bite really hurts in my experience no matter what threshold I'm at.

Neither. Warwick is probably a lot more sticky though.

Voli is not a juggernaut, even though he has the kit for one. He's still classified as a Fighter/Tank Hybrid.

Actually, Volibear is a juggernaut.

Yet he didn't receive any juggernaut changes yet he really needed IMO.

Voli's bite scales with his health, his has way more AOE damage than WW, in combat MS, and the ability to flip squishy towards your backline. WW is faster, out of combat, loses a lot of damage if enemies aren't low, is less tanky, and is more dive oriented.

He has a knockup flip on a basic ability, and his E scales with health. Warwick is much more single target, DPS and on-hit oriented, he'll be squishier than voli thats for sure. They are both chasers, voli is more tanky and his combo is faster, and WW is better at long fights.

New Warwick is a reworked version of old Warwick, not volibear. :p
