Warwick buff for viability in pro play

I was looking at reasons why warwick is not viable for pro play. It seems that he does not have any great strengths to play against people in coordinated play. I'm thinking that giving him more consistent engage for players using him properly would be a good idea. This could be done by reducing the movement speed scaling on the ult but allowing warwick to be unable to be peeled off from targets of the ult if they are blood hunted. This would make the full duration of the ult always go through no matter what if the target is blood hunted. This mechanic would be reliant on if the target is low or if warwick has able to force blood hunt on them. Some other compensation nerfs could also be done to the ult to allow for this mechanic. I really want to see my boy being used by the pros someday.

Some champs just dont have the kit to be appealing enough for pros. I wouldn't change his kit just to raise his chances

Warwick is one of my favorite champions, but you're never going to see him be popular in pro play.

He thrives on isolated targets that are low on health that lets him run in and clean up or out duel the enemy. In coordinated play they won't let you do that. If they get low they will back off and heal, they wont sit around on low health in the middle of lanes, and when one of them does get blood hunted at an inopportune time their allies help protect them.

Also, as a champion he does well against tanks since he has continued sustain and damage, but he doesn't excel against the high damage meta (or Pantheon) where he gets exploded before he can heal in a fight.

He is still really good as a champion, just less so in coordinated play. It's still possible he will show up if the meta favors him, but this meta isn't the right one.
