Genius Ultimate Skin for Warwick

Hobbsgoblin··163 votes·6,929 views

Level 1 you see the human version of Warwick.

Level 6: The first time he uses his ultimate he changes to look like the classic "Wolfman" type werewolf. Short snout if any, ripped clothing, claws slightly larger than his human hands and no tail. When he dies he comes back in his human form until dealing damage to a unit.

Level 11: The first time you use your level 2 ultimate you transform from whichever form you are in to a form more like the current Warwich, wolf head, large claws, tail with barely any tattered clothes left. Death again reverts you to your human form until dealing damage.

Level 16: The first time you use your level 3 ultimate the beast is released. Hes larger than his other forms, he runs on all fours when his blood scent detects wounded prey. But not even death can bring his human form back, theres no humanity left in this monster.

Your move Riot.

Edit 1: I'm definitely liking the feedback. -I agree that they should update him probably prior to this skin. Then again they could start working on it now and it wouldn't be done for maybe even 6 months so why wait? -Any comments about the difficulty of the skin the additions such as running on all fours, yes, thats why its an ultimate idea. -Size change I will, obviously, agree has a game play impact. If its outward size at least however with minimal play impact I think they could make him taller, or just somehow appear bigger without necessarily BEING bigger. But it doesn't have to be a size change, thats just an idea. As long as hes threatening in this final stage to a greater degree than his stage 3 werewolf state. I think Lycaon1 put it best.

He doesn't necessarily have to change size, so long as the appearance of an effect like that is simulated. Something like his form being more buff looking, or anything to make him look more monstrous. For Instance, making his teeth more jagged looking or snarling at nearby enemies (kind of like how zombie brand holds his arms out when walking toward enemies), or he could be rabid if they can do that without making it look like he's about to shave.

I'd actually prefer if this was Warwick's rework.

Imagine instead if he were like Nidalee, and he could change from a human or a wolf whenever.

WW does not move on all 4s. Your idea break several rules for a skin

  1. Major silhouette change, I am not even talking from the base to ultimate level. I am talking about within the skin. You are moving character from upright to on all 4s.

  2. a new level of work, To get get this you would need to probably have to re rig the motion completely.

  3. champ changing size. Size is power in this game, if your an ADC you want to be small and if you are tank you want to be big. Possible power issues since the skin is changing size for just hitting a rank. Changing size just to change size effects game play.

  4. Last problem with your idea is that WW is already slated for a major rework/ overhaul. They are not going to make any in depth skins beyond a 975 till he gets done.

This is just a concept, and a good one at that. Yes the idea could use some work, but he's just proposing something. No need to be so negative right out of the door about it.

Angry Monster3 votes

actually its a bad one cause of the issues with it. I wish people would stop saying something is good when their are major flaws.

A good idea is something that can be done with minimal issues. he as an idea, a creative one. THAT DOES NOT MEAN GOOD.

Gavran15 votes

I agree with you, but your presentation is kinda off.

Try "That's a cool idea*, but here are some reasons it's impractical/unlikely:"

Or better** still: "That's a cool idea, but there are some things that would have to change before Riot would do it, and here are my ideas on how to preserve the flavor while fixing them."

*It is.

**This would definitely be going above and beyond, but I figure if you're making the effort to communicate why not go all the way?

Angry Monster4 votes

Why do people need to have their hand held? Either the OP will learn form the criticism or not. I posted logical and factual information. Their were no personal attacks and stayed on topic.

Why should i say great idea, when its obviously flawed? People should not be expected to say meaningless praise when offering legit criticism. To say great idea just cause you can is preaching to the sheep. A cool idea is purely subjective and really meaningless feedback. Either their are problems with the idea or its perfect.

The irony is you are upset about someone criticizing your form of criticism. I'm pretty sure everyone understands your point completely but the way you presented it was not helpful or constructive.

sion doesn't get bigger with health?

If i remember right yes he does or maybe it was he grows based on the health he gets from W i forget

The health mechanic hasn't changed since old Sion. He infinitely stacks health from kills of any kind. It has nothing to do with his size.

  1. Warwick runs with all four legs in his Hyena WW skin...granted not all the time but it's still different. I don't think silhouette change matters that much.
  2. This would obviously be done after his visual update.
  3. Zac and Cho'Gath change size constantly.
  4. See 2).
Baron of Bread3 votes

3 is actually a very reasonable thing to state. When Cho and Zac change size it is because of a mechanic of the character. Zac gets size from current HP and Cho gets it from Feast stacks. This WW would get it for no reason and that might confuse people because it doesn't signify anything about the character's state (other than that they have used the ultimate, which is shown through other means) but they could easily think it would.

Well, Nidalee's cougar form runs on all fours as well. No one going to mention that? Gnar walks on all fours some of the time, and all the time in MEGA gnar. Rek'Sai walks on all fours. Sejuani's warhog sure doesn't walk on 2 legs. Volibear's Q (I think) has him go on all fours. Shyvana's dragon form is on all fours. And I think Twitch's joke has him on all fours.

chipndip12 votes

ALL OF THOSE ARE DEFAULTS. NOT SKINS.

Rew7113 votes

Honestly asking this question. Does it matter?

chipndip12 votes

Yes. It actually does. Name one skin that changes size for a champ that doesn't normally change size.

Rew7112 votes

uh, okay... There's not one. Is that the point you're trying to make?

You don't make much sense. First stating that all of these are defaults. Then you ask for a skin that changes sizes for a champ that does not change sizes. What are you asking for? Not saying there can't be one but the fact that I didn't even talk about changing sizes and you asking for one don't add up. You need to repost this towards DucksGoMooful.

Lastly, no skin just comes with a new animation. Its not rare but it depends, like the latest Warwick skin that allows him to run on all fours when his passive is active. Or the new Lux Skin that has a Sailor Moon based recall.

Moves around like an ape does, Not actually down on all 4 plus the skin has slightly longer arms. It is just a slight hunch while moving. Off motion happen every new and then. From what the OP was saying i thinking reksei like stance all the time. Which would be a major change in the stance.

Zac and Cho'Gath change size constantly.

function of a kit. does not change cause of change. Size of a model effect hit boxes and range of attacks.

  1. Volibear runs from 2 to 4 legs when using his Q on all of his skins.

  2. Ofcourse its legendary.

  3. Cho'gath, potion for size ring a bell ?

  4. They already did it so check your facts then go bash someone's idea.

  1. Exactly, it is something Voli does consistently across all his skins because it is one of his abilities. No one is saying that making WW walk on all 4s is technically impossible, although it may be challenging due to his model/rig/whatever. But Riot is not going to add a new visual indicator for an ability (walk on on 4 when detected someone with blood scent) on one skin but not have it in the others.

  2. Changing size has an effect on gameplay as others mentioned. That is why Riot added a elixir that makes you larger which, not coincidentally, also includes a lot of stats that tanks would like with it. Cho'gath/Zac gain size consistently across all their skins. The elixir of iron is available for every champion to use. Riot is not going to make WW larger on one skin than his others, as that has a direct change on his gameplay as larger size means better to tank.

Remember, skins are suppose to be fun little things that just change how the champion looks, not functions. If the idea includes things that have an impact on gameplay (such as changing the champions size) then the idea is dead on arrival.

I can already see people yelling "what the hell Rito this should be his Visual Update not a damn Ultimate skin" because like Spirit Guard Udyr its the same theme as default just done better.

I like the idea of it all, but I think that, just because Warwick lacks the particles, that Warwick can't really have an ultimate skin fairly priced. And it's not because your concept isn't good or anything, it is. But I feel like Warwick's skins will only change his models, and it's good that this skin would emphasize that in its own way. But look at how this skin matches up to every other ultimate skin -- DJ Sona, particle changes, 3 songs created just for the skin, sizable model change, massive particle changes Pulsefire Ezreal, awesome model which evolves, slick particle changes, and sweet sound effects Spirit Guard Udyr, model rehaul which evolves, amazing particle changes, sound effects, and interactions -- see, the thing is that this skin wouldn't match up because most of the champions who got them have particle room that they can change to look amazing. Also, 2 of the 3 champions have their own form of an evolving model so this idea wouldn't even be the most distinct. It's really good for a legendary but not good enough for an Ultimate. And it's not because of the skin idea, but because of the champion.

DJ Sona: SIZABLE model change... Heh, damn right she did...

Duuuuude!

I would play warwick for this.

But let this be when Warwick has better animations, he really needs a VU.

Also, make him have like a black coat of fur when he' in werewolf form.

I really like this idea but to be honest they already have an ultimate skin for a jungler, support and adc. They won't make another one, maybe this would be a legendary

So, an Archon Thanatos (check it out on SMITE, it's pretty cool) like skin for Warwick? I dig it.

It's an alright skin, but not worth $150+
