I have waited so long for this to happen. When I started playing back in season 1, Warwick became the first champ that I ever really felt attached to. He became my main, even when I didnt really know how to play the game, since I was stacking phantom dancers on him for MS and AS. Back then, he was strong, as the game was entirely different, and he was the "king" of he jungle.
But ever since then, Warwick has fallen out of favor and out of the game. The jungle changed, and his sustain didnt really matter anymore. Other junglers did more damage, cleared faster, ganked better, and could team fight better than him. Riot realized that Warwick's current kit wasn't good for the game. When Warwick was strong, he would beat you 1v1 while outhealing your damage, and then you couldn't escape him. His ult is absolute cancer as a skill for those he plays against; a targeted teleport that suppresses you for 1.7 seconds and does pretty good damage depending on the items Warwick has. So while Warwick has his ult up, he becomes a walking ult-bot who only exists to choose 1 enemy player to kill and they can do almost nothing about it. And when its down, he has very little tools to fight someone if they don't want to fight him.
So, ever since the beginning of season 2, Riot has done nothing but destroy what was once my favorite champion. Q got an absolutely huge mana cost and damage nerfs, W got its uptime nerfed and CD nerfed, his ult got its damage nerfed. Warwick broke an item (old
) received nerfs, then the item got changed, so he became the first in a line of champs to be butchered because of an item and then receive no compensation buffs. (
etc)
But now, after years and years of watching Warwick struggle patch to patch and get demolished any time he seems to be doing well, Warwick is finally getting a VGU.
