Warwick turned into a half mechanical monster? so far disappointed in the idea.

I just want to start off by saying I have been a fan and gamer of League of Legends for 4 to 5 years now. Because of the game play being almost similar to chess and many great games that are out there in the video gaming industry. I am quite humble to say I love how League of Legends comes up with new champions concepts and creating new ways to evolve their gaming. One of my favorite champions I love to play and just a super big fan of is Warwick. I have always been a fan werewolves since I been in high school. But, I fear that League of Legends made a mistake in making Warwick into this half mechanical monster. Whatever happened to Warwick being a true werewolf that we all heard about in classical stories. Werewolves are beasts not some augmented werewolf with green tubes that looks similar to Frankenstein. If you changed the look of Vladimir the vampire on League of Legends into a half mechanical monster, would you not think that is kinda funny looking? I just hoped that League of Legends would have taken a different direction in creating Warwick's Rework in the look department. I hoped that Warwick would have become a more detailed scary beast than a Frankenstein werewolf. I still look forward in seeing Warwick abilities when he comes out on the update. I do not expect League of Legends to change Warwick now since they work so hard to create him and the update is about to come out soon. I just wanted to voice out my opinion as yours truly League of Legends fan.

Warwicks lore was always not that of a "normal" werewolf. The classic werewolf is a person transforming into a wolf at full moon, caused by a curse. Warwick does not transform into a wolf and back, he is always in his wolf form and the transmutation was not because of a curse, but because of an alchemical experiment with a potion from Singed.

The only thing that changed is that Warwick and Singed weren't friends beforehand and Warwick was actually asking for the potion. Now Warwick was a murderer, caught by Singed for his experiments and turned into a monster by force. I prefer the new lore, it is darker and fits the characters of Zaun more in my opinion. And I love the alchemical tubes Warwick got, his new design is definitely a selling point for me. The old Warwick was just too simple and boring in design. But no matter how his kit turns out, I will definitely play the new version of Warwick.

Werewolf just means something along the lines of "man wolf" , which is still what he is. He's a humanoid wolf. He was never a "turns at the full moon" werewolf to begin with.

Also, his new features kinda highlight the fact that he is from Zaun. It's more noticeable now, like, before I had no idea he was even from Zaun. A lot of people from Zaun have altered their bodies somehow, and seeing has he was experimented on it makes sense.

His in game model is going to look so much nicer now (I hope) so let's just wait and see

Vlad isn't a vampire, he's a bloodmancer. There are no true vampires in league (though some theorize evelynn might be one).

The tubes may need getting used to, but who knows we'll have to see his in-game model and kit, maybe they'll fit much better.

Riot doesn't like making just an archetype as a champion now. That's why even now we don't have a normal cavalry champion. Hecarim is an undead centaur that used to be a mounted soldier, Sejuani doesn't have a horse, and same with Kled.

I'm wondering what will become of older champs like Zilean- I know Jax for example was revealed to be a survivor of Icathia and Galio is supposedly next in line for a rework after Warwick...
