Warwick VU: Food for thought!

I found a nice werewolf picture while browsing the net and immediatly thought of Warwick. I edited it slightly to resemble our bad wolfie. Aimed for his VU:

I like the idea of a covered, armored Warwick. Colors aside, I find this particular armor to be very creative! Gave him a blackish fur instead of the traditional blue. Click the image for full size/better details!

Would appreciate a Rioter spoiling us with some plans, clues, etc~

I would like him to have a rework and a VU personally. His kit is super outdated.

meh, I don't like the rings, they look off.

Basically, I like the proportions, but the rest of it is pretty meh and doesn't scream "Warwick".

I agree with the other guy and have to say that the rings don't really work with me. Btw, your drawing is awesome. Holy cow! Besides that I feel like he looks so bad ass but have his clothes just ever so slightly torn to give it a more rugged look. In all honesty, I say keep this but make it a new champion. He looks bad ass enough to have his own kit and play style. I'm thinking something with dashes and just a Kung Fu fighting style like Lee + WW

I like all but the tail length(shorten this by half) and the belt ring ( this would be good place to put a Zaun or wolf symbol).

If hes gonna be changed this much at least let him keep the golden bling for gauntlets and claws

I approve of that 6-pack thing.

It's alright.

I'm not too crazy about the tail.

He looks more like a furry than a werewolf, I'd like to see him more monstrous in appearance.

looks more like a fox than a werewolf ill pass.

He needs a VU, but nothing this drastic. This looks more monk-ish than savage beast. I think a new iteration of his current visual would be fine. Kind of like Master Yi's VU.

Besides, I have a shirt with WW on it and it'll be garbage if they change him so drastically.

i personally would like ww ults to scale of attack speed so that earlly game its not over bearing but he still keeps his late game tanky dps monster ability

RavenKouhai1/19/2015, 10:19:10 PM1 votes

He kind of just looks like a big Husky. I'd say remove the tail, and make him look a bit more wolfish/aggressive. And get rid of those gold ring things.

The problem with this, and why we won't see another WW skin anytime soon, is...

  1. He already has a fair amount
  2. He went from... 2> pre-4.2 -> super great assassin or tanky beast who just won't die 2> 4.2 -> super OP and lots of whiney children 2> post 4.2 -> super nerfed and no longer useful

Now nobody wants to play him (myself included when I used to main ww jung). They reduced his W from 10 secs to 6 secs (even though Yi and Yas get to keep their long actives), and reduced his ult by 100/85/70 damage. That may not seem like a lot but think about it! Prior to 4.2, we DID have stacks. They were called feral stacks. The major change to 4.2's new jung item was different passives and additional stacks for champ kills too. So did he need his hunter's call reduced? No. Did he need his ult reduced? By a little, but reducing it by 100 hurts him big time early game. Late game that 70 reduction is about what you get in stacks! Sure his stacks also roll over to his aa, AND he gets more for kills... you shouldn't be sporting lots of kills if you're a good jungler (I'd rather be feeding lanes personally), AND the stacks have less affect since his hunter's call (increased attack speed) is reduced time wise by 40%. They may seem like minor changes by any true ww player can realize he got hit hard because Riot doesn't know how to balance champions properly... they just hope by over nerfing, people stop complaining (unless it's Zed or Lee Sin of course!).

I honestly, Just want a grey wolf, that runs on all 4's.

That is all I want out of his VU.

Gallowgrim1/20/2015, 4:02:18 AM1 votes

I'm not digging it. Looks too much "D&D Furry" and not enough "feral". Warwick should look like something like someone armored up a werewolf from The Howling. More wolf, less human.

That design's nice, but I'm not really seeing what's....well, Warwick about it in particular. Feels indistinct, at least for League.

Count Tobi1/24/2015, 3:54:24 AM1 votes

you're going to take one of the last original 2012 League splash arts, and throw it in the trash for some hyped up chinese art, where has your pride gone sir. Let the ugly bastard be ugly, we dont see people asking you for a visual update
