The Warwick Rework, Concepts from a Warwick Main
Hello, Im Saphixia, a OCE player currently in Bronze II (I don’t play much ranked at all) and my most played champion is Warwick. He was my 4th bought champion after Master YI, Darius and Garen. But lets get into my ideas for the rework.
First off, what should be kept of his kit?
I believe that the 2 things that make Warwick Warwick are his life steal based kit his strong dulling potential due to said life steal
I’m unfortunately not the best champion designer, because i know what i want but don’t know how to implement it.
Primary Role: Assassin/Fighter
I say this because i always felt as though Warwick was kinda an assassin, by ulting their ADC and killing and then just using his w and q on champions throughout the rest of the fight. I don’t actually know exactly what to do with his kit, but i know what i want in it. But, i did have an idea for a passive and his W
Passive “Massacre”: When Warwick get a kill or an assist, he goes on a Rampage. Rampage: during a rampage , all of Warwicks attacks make enemies bleed, and gives Warwick enhanced movement speed, attack speed and life steal, and makes Warwick grow (in size) a little. This effect can stack up to 3 times. Additional kills and assists will refresh the duration. Enemies will know when warwick is on a rampage as he will run on all fours with his tongue sticking out, and a loud panting sound will be played.
This is a complicated passive, but i think it suits the character perfectly. It will be sort of like JInx's Passive, except better as it is more powerful, but you don't keep the stacks forever.
For his W, i got an idea from a potential rework for Warwick ages ago, taht was created by RiotZenon (I'm not sure if i spelt that right) . The idea for his new W seemed like a great idea to me, so here it is (if you don't want to watch the video.)

I feel as though this is perfect as when i was thinking of possible ideas, i thought about giving him a taunt, but i didn't think it would be good on someone I specifically did not want to become a tank.
The last request is the idea of giving him just lots of lifesteal, on-hit, and/or movement speed. Also, some sort of slow would be good.
