Warwick's Impending VU

This is mainly for our parrot lord IronStylus, since I know he's looking for crackers at the moment.

I know Warwick is on the list. I also know that you guys have dropped Zenon's in-progress kit for him since he "needed more" than what he was given and was probably dropped a while before the Shiruma event.

I'm just curious if you guys are planning to go ahead with an MTU or not? I'd honestly be completely fine with it for now since he's in for a kit update.

Is there any reason his splash art is being held back? I figured it was because of an impending MTU like Maokai, since it's obviously finished (as teased at Worlds,) along with Anivia.

Please, toss a wolf a bone.

Well, we have a few concepts, but as far as I know he needs a gameplay overhaul before we do anything major with him. Not quite sure how that's tracking. We're in a holding pattern with him until gameplay is hammered out.

I doubt he gets a MTU They do plan to give him a full VU,but still need to wait for his kit rework to get finished. Thats the reason why he needs so long for his VU.

i doubt he'll get a mtu because it will be all in vain once they'll do a real VU Though he will probably get a Texture rebalance like many others

I loved Warwick's old lore. Found him an interesting character. I remember when they were talking about reworking him, around the time when he was played top as a drain tank, some Rioteer(Morello?) was talking about how drain tanks were toxic because you either killed them or couldn't push past their healing and died. Binary/feast famine/ insert buzzword here. Anyway, Would love it if he had a movement steroid that would make him run on all fours. I always felt that as a brilliant scientist, he would abuse the increased sense of smell and mobility in a more thematic way. Current Warwick does this mechanically, but in a way that is in no way visually interesting.

Where did you find out that they dropped Zenons kit? I really liked that concept...
