Potential ideas for the planned Warwick Rework

Ok, so lemme start this of by saying this. I love the idea behind warwick. He's one of the most og junglers out there. A wolfman who you do not wana 1v1. But I wanna talk about what riot could do to him in the rework.

  1. The number 1 thing he needs to have adressed is the reliance on his ult (No suprise there, no one likes basically not having a jungler for the first five levels) 2.The idea of warwick sniffing out his oponents. Currently Warwicks E is really boring. It jusst gives a lot of movespeed when someone nearby is low. But so much could be done with it. Imagine warwick having a Rek'sai style tracking system where unlike Rek'sai he could actually differentiate whose walking around in fog of war since he would be able to know who's who using smell alone. Obviously this sounds really strong so there would be a few ways to balance it. It can only be used outside of combat. The more champions there are together the harder it becomes for warwick to differentiate who's who. It costs mana to use etc. I'd love it if riot kept this aspect of warwick as a passive on one of his abilities.
  2. Although Warwick being the sustain 1v1 god is great and all would he benefit more from Becoming a full on dive champion who mauls people by leaping into the fray using a leap of some sort? A kind of engaging of tank who can survive long enough to do some serious damage while buying his team time to capitalise. (Think Vi) Him to be a carry style jungler focused on quick maulings with more posibilities early game? Him becoming the be all end all jungle duelist with less reliance on having lvl 6? What do you guys think.
  3. Completely scraping his ult in favor of having a reliable gap closer on one of his basic abilities? Warwicks ult is kinda to binary for high level play. We all know this. So him getting a completely new ult wouldn't be a bad thing if it's aimed at making him a better champion at all stages of the game. I wanna see Warwick in the lcs one day just like I'd like to see almost every champion in the lcs. If it's in favor of making him a viable pick at all skill levels or just the higher levels of play I'm all for it
  4. His Lore and theme I wanna see a spooky warwick. We all want to have a badass werewolf in league of legends who would make you shit yourself if you ever ran into him. A guy you would never mess with. I'll use Sion's story as an example. He's a monster. Obsessed with murder, war and Noxus because he desperately clings to his past life. His character went from a Arnold Schwarzenegger knock off to one of the best realized characters in league. A three dimensional character who is trully a tragic figure. An empty shell trying to cling to it's past. That's the kinda thing I want to see with Warwick. For him to become a fully realised character. I'd really like to hear what the rest of you think about the upcoming rework. A d if a Rioter took notice of this post that'd be awesome. Hopefully riot doesnt delete the post like last time(Thanks for that btw) Warwick

You don't wanna 1v1 WW because he takes you to 30% with just his ult, then you can't escape because of his passive movement speed boost and ridiculous sustain. But that's just me.
