What am I doing wrong on Warwick?

I just CANNOT win a game on him anymore..... I feel like I'm not playing him any differently, but every single fucking game I've played him recently every single one of my lanes has just been getting absolutely dumpstered, completely and utterly destroyed and most of the god damn time the enemy jungler has NOTHING to do with it either.

But I feel like I don't power up fast enough in any regard, like if I'm on Rengar or Vi and my lanes are starting to lose like they always seem to then I can get my ass to those lanes before it's too late and help them recover. But when I'm on Warwick I just feel like I'm never actually strong enough that early into the game to do anything.

Part of me just wants to say "fuck it" to building any sort of damage and start just building flat tank/CDR so I can fear the enemy team over and over again in fights and hopefully that allows us to catch up. But that still leaves the problem of me never feeling like I'm strong enough to make any kind of difference in the early game.

I've tried maxing Q first and W first, makes no difference in the end. I've tried games where I get Titanic right after Cinderhulk, or even tried getting it first if I was caught up enough or even ahead, but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference cause I'm either never tanky enough or don't have enough damage until maybe my third item or so.

Am I building him wrong? Playing him incorrectly? WHAT!? Or am I seriously just THIS fucking unlucky every single time I play him?

Personally I max Q on him for extra combat mobility and emergency sustain.

Warwick doesn't really need to rush his jungle item imo. If you're building cinderhulk then you can hold it off once you get bami's so you can finish titanic. To make the most out of titanic, you want to get pretty tanky, so grabbing a spirits visage or deadmans/omen is a must (and you might want to get both. I wouldn't recommend a heavy AS build, your W provides enough against low health targets. Getting them to low health isn't an issue because you excel in long fights, so don't worry if you're not bursting anyone).

You can also solo any dragon on your first clear at level 3. It's a bit risky, so you should make sure if the enemy jungler isn't nearby. Use the blast cone to avoid being seen by a scuttle ward.

I'm bronze but i mean I've been doing pretty well with the new warwick. I usually build 2 damage itemsitem 1416 item 3153 , boots and 2 tank itemsitem 3065 item 3742 . You can't just farm up till 6 anymore. If blood scent activates, go for it. He's good at 1v1s. Assassins can't 100-0 him and most fighters/adcs can't out sustain him. The cooldown on E is so long that trying to fear people repeatedly in a teamfight doesn't seem like a good idea.

TL:DR version: Don't build full tank, follow your nose, take dragons whenever you can(you can solo them pretty easily).

You're NOT wrong. There's nothing that warwick can do at level 2 or even 3 because the enemy team will always be a level higher, which is enough to kill you if you get careless. I'd say wait till level 6 but the ganking starts at level 2 tbh. They need to give is E more range and his W needs to ACTIVELY increase his speed for 1.5-2.5 seconds by 25%. It's buggy and useless since so many people get boots of swiftness and beserkers greives.

I suggest testing out builds in intermediate bot, because there have been times I outplayed other WW's with experimental builds. But my honest advice is to NEVER waste time upgrading the jungler's machete. Warwick's q does things better than its upgrades, and you WILL need boots of swiftness to survive a dive.
