New warwick kinda sucks actually

His base movespeed is too slow so once he engaged he just gets kited SOOO easily. Like a melee champ with 335 movespeed? Vi for example has 345 and is way more mobile.

I dunno, the kit seems super cool in theory but feels so fkn clunky when you play it. If you build damage you get blown up. If you build tank you get kited and don't do anything of value.

he needs low base movespeed to counter how high his out of combat move speed is. I would recommend item 3022 or item 3025 I've also seen item 3153 and item 3078 is pretty common

Buy on hit items with tank. I build blood razor into titanic and finish with tank build, WW has enough stickiness and chase potential to make up for a whooping 10 movespeed

Right now, new Warwick is overpowered because of the sheer amount of map information he has from his W. It effectively allows you to scout as you can with Quinn's W or Ashe's E, and it reveals low health enemy junglers. That said, that's largely all he has going for him. He's pretty trash otherwise.

He has insane out of combat movement speed, but that doesn't translate to much. His initiation range is pretty sick, but then again Vi's Q, Flash, R combo gives her better (or at least the same) initiation range as you can expect to ever reasonably get with Warwick's Infinite Duress, and it can't be juked or bodyblocked. His drain-tanking is decent, I suppose, but it's pretty easily beaten by Grievous Wounds, kiting, or burst damage, and it's hard to itemize in such a way that you can make use of it and still deal with all those weaknesses.

He REALLY needs to get a portion of his out of combat move-speed in combat. It's very awkward to be chasing someone and have a stray caster minion reduce you to turtle speed. Q is a pitiful and short ranged gap closer, and asking enemy champions to very politely not kite you certainly doesn't work. If you miss your ultimate, you have absolutely no way to followup. The same is true of Flash. If they Flash after you R, it's almost assured that you won't catch up to them unless you also have Flash available.

op.gg says he also has a 43% winrate which means he is trash in anything except maybe bronze...

no your right he just sucks. they Nerfed him another champ on its way to non play ability, look like riot just wants to ruin any champ they can, wont be playing him anymore not even against ai, until he is switched back.
