I've an all out Akali tank before, that's why i mentioned her in that line. The tank akali build works really well, she doesn't need ap to wreck the enemy. I included her wrong there, she's bot a tank, but i've seen a tank akali done and that just shows she needs a nerf.

Thanks for the tips man, appreciate it.

Im not perfect, like you - I'm still learning.

There is a difference between being good at mechanics and knowing the terminology. At least know the distinction between the two. It doesn't matter how good a player you are. Getting the build name wrong has nothing to do with that. If I was a good player and called Caitlyn an AP carry, does it matter whether I win 99.9% of my games and if I was Challenger Tier? Not at all. I'd still be wrong if I called Caitlyn an AP carry.

On that note, what is your summoner name?

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=AP+teemo

Wrong again. Blade of the Ruined King does physical damage anyway. That's why it's called 'hybrid on-hit'. Note the 'hybrid'.



Okay, ignore what I wrote. Ignore what's happening in the LCS. Ignore the fact that Akali and Lee Sin aren't even tanks (hint: she's an assassin and he's usually an offtank fighter, sometimes assassin). Ignore the champions that I listed which deal damage, get kills and carry the game (and yes, there are some there which are full tanks because that's the only viable way to build them).

Ever heard of Olaf, btw? Can build 0 damage items and still rape your team.



Taipei Assassins entered Garena Premier League with a 4-support and Vayne team composition. You normally wouldn't have thought that **** would have carried a game, but it did. 2 years ago, a invitational was played where one team was all supports and they still won the game. Also, an all-tank team is a legit strategy if you can abuse it in the early game. They only fall off towards the late game, but they thrive through early-mid games. I've seen it work too many times to say 'you will not win a single game'.



Oh, so he's not AP Warwick then? Because there is a difference between AP offtank and AP, y'know.

Hi man, I'm winning so many games as Warwick with this build, carrying or split carrying around 90% of the total. It's clear that I know nothing about the game mechanics haha, I've just somewhat broken the chain and created my own!

Ha, joking aside, teemo with on hit items are still considered AP simply because he does magic damage. This is what categorizes a that type of champion. Having a Liandri's alone makes me AP thats why the enemies build magic resist!

Tanks don't carry. The prioritized role of a tank is to initiate and consume attention away from the ADC and APC. With the exception of op champions like Lee Sin and Akali, you will never find a multikill on him UNLESS of course he luckily gets every Last Hit. Tank do not do sufficient damage to carry, their role is to use cc and supportive skills to aid the team.

Summary - Tanks do not carry games. Choosing a tank champion does not automatically make him a tank role! I know alot of you will say "well I've played a team of 5 tanks and still won" - that is different because half the team has built AP items or AD items.
I assure you if you had a team who all built warmogs, runic bulkwark, visage, frozen heart, banshees you will not win a single game.

Oh hey also guys thanks for the suggestion, I've changed the title to AP TANK now as i can agree he is built an off-tank in this case.

Thanks =]

WTF are you talking about?

Firstly, AP Warwick is legit and you build him full AP items and not like what you have done, because what you have done isn't an AP Warwick.

Malady, Wit's End and Blade of the Ruined King aren't even remotely considered AP items. They are on-hit hybrid items.

Also, AP Teemo builds at least 3-4 AP items. You have 2 and one of them is Doran's Ring. -.- When Teemo] builds with the above ( Malady, etc) items, that Teemo build is called ON-HIT HYBRID, not AP. Not awkward at all. What IS awkward is how little you know about the game terminology.

Honestly. Go Google 'AP Warwick', on-hit Teemo (and compare that to AP Teemo), offtank Warwick and you will see that I am right.

Tanks can carry a game easily. It doesn't matter what lane or position you are in, you can carry from anywhere if you play well. In the recent LCS, Renekton is an amazing frontline tank with high damage despite building tanky. Singed can deal a lot of damage and disruption whilst tanking a LOT of damage. Hecarim has amazing initiate and can carry a teamfight hard as a tank. Similarly can be said of Malphite.

If tanks can't carry a game, why are they played at all? Why not play something that can carry? Oh wait, it's because tanks CAN carry.

You have just earned yourself a downvote. You clearly show you are not qualified to write a guide, as you clearly do not know what you are talking about.

Oh Banshee's Veil, good choice man, I completely forgot about that!.. This is why I like comments, the community can help me aswell as me helping others.

Okay, so maybe it's not FULLY AP warwick, but if you want to narrow everything down to the rim, you will notice that there are too many categories in this build to even point a finger on. Not only is it more AP than AD, it's also attack speed, spell vamp, tank, support, and a team steroid. I chose the title AP Warwick simply because my first impression of the Champion is completely AP based.

Let's look at it this way, you start a game, you see a Warwick on the load screen. You buy cloth armour and HP pots, you go into your top lane. The warwick shows to have a Doran's, on your next return to base you buy a Null Magic Mantle - WHY??!??!?!? Because it's an AP Warwick of course. Every game I see the enemy build Magic Resist, and that is where Liandri's destroy's their use of any magic resistant items.
Second proper item on the list is wit's end, again dealing magic damage all the while giving you a boost in Magic Resist on per attack. This all comes into the fact that Liandri's passive is going make you deal more damage each time magic damage is being used.

It is only after I build items to keep yourself in fights, and support the team. This is by combining items such as Frozen heart, with Runic Bulkwark, and other defensive items. Although I never stated the Runic B, it can also be included to provide extra team support.

I never build my champions exactly the same as my previous game, it is through experience that you learn to change builds according to how you can exploit the enemies weaknesses. This is why I suggested the change in mid/late game items as no build can overcome EVERY opponent.

As I said in the early introduction, I main Wukong Jungle on ranked. Why? Because I do not follow the meta. Alot of people will slate that also, saying "Jungle Wukong is weak, why did you build that?, why this, why that?". I won't change my style of play because ,because if you have something that works, stick with it. Noone can tell you "this is wrong" if you have your own reasons to keep it going.

Sure enough, I have spent a long time thinking of this build. Although it is not 100% effective in the figures department, it has won my team and I many games that otherwise we should have lost. I stick to my ideas and if you don't like them, then you are entitled to your own opinion I will not judge you.

Bare in mind, that I am not here to teach people. I do that for a living, and I get paid each time I do it. I am simply here to suggest ideas to other people wanting to play it so that they might think of their own ideas or just simply stick with this one (if it works for them).


I play fairly frequently each week, and I don't mind if people want to play a few game and see how I roll =]

It was just a suggestion. I'll keep it on here, I'm not professional at this game so if it works for me, then it can work for anyone =]

Sigh....

Lemme tell you a little story:
I myself was very interested in AP Warwick a couple of weeks ago.
I tested a lot of different things, brainstormed with a lot of people what might work for AP Warwick, and what could not.
The answer was quite simple: AP Warwick is not even 50% as powerful as apply on hit Warwick.
Yes, AP Wick as a very powerful early game, Liandry's Torment will allow you to bully your enemies even more than with just your Q, but when you get in to late game, AP isn't going to help much, you will barely notice the effect of Liandry's Torment.

Blade of the Ruined King however, works so well together with your ultimate AND with your auto attack, you are able to keep doing a nice amount of damage all the time.

@CDR Limit, yes, there might be some rare cases where it is not really bad to go over the CDR limit.
However, right here, that is not the case. You have 2 heavy and 1 minor CDR item + you also have CDR masteries.
The masteries are 100% wasted, since you already go past the cap with 2 items.
The Spirit visage can also be replaced. If you pick BotRK instead of Liandry's, you will also get a lot of sustain thanks to that, so Spirit Visage can be replaced with an other MR item, which would likely be Banshee's Veil, so your ultimate won't be interupted.
The Frozen Heart is indeed a good item for Warwick so you should definately keep that.

The iceborn gauntlet is okay for Warwick, Frozen Mallet is godlike for Warwick. None will escape from you, you are now tanky and you have extra AD (which is better for your W and R while AP is only good for your Q).

Finally:


Do not get me wrong, I completely agree. It is good that people try to think outside the box, I support people that think outside the box, but it needs to have potential.
The build you have right now does not.
It is not really AP, it is not really apply on hit and it is not really tanky either.

The build can just be better with AP and/or be better with AoH and/or be better tankywise, it is a waste really.

Maybe I was a bit of a **** in my previous comments, but I can see no way this can work.
I am sorry, but I will not try this just because you want me too.

Cya :P

I told you already, it works for me and I have proof. There is no reason I need to delete something that works. Not everything has to be played by the meta.

I for one always look to break that meta, this is why anything works. Okay, maybe you are correct that I have over 40% CD at full build, but the CD is not the essential part of my build. You must realise that not alot of Warwick builds out there works because people think of minor problems like this CDR limit. This is the reason you do not see many Warwicks in todays games, and that is because nobody knows how to properly build this champ.

Try this build Meiyjhe and then get back to me. Use the runes and masteries layout that I suggested and Screenshot your score afterwards. Tell me how it goes, I like to see people trying builds rather than calling something BS before they know what it is all about.

Thanks

Bro....

Item picks are never opinion based.
And you might be gold or whatever, I do not care.

If you make a choice, which is so stupid, that even a silver person needs to tell you you are doing it wrong, you are really messing it up.

There is no way that BotRK is worse than Liandry's for Warwick, there is no way that building more than 40% CDR is decent, so many stupid mistakes.

There is no valid excuse at all for this.
So stop trying to defend something which you cannot.

Hey, I've just played a game getting a BOTRK first item instead of getting Liandri's. Doesn't work that badly, except I found myself doing a lot less damage with my Q, and using my ultimate a lot less often. I found myself trying to SAVE up my ultimate because that was where the most damage was coming from with the BOTRK and it just didn't feel right. It was like I knew I had damage there, but wanted to save it for more important things later in the game. I didn't like the feeling, that I couldnt spam my spells, I felt I was playing a lot more passively, however I did feel strong when I went in to fight.

Overall I still prefer the Liandri's play, I felt more lane dominance and it was just that much easier to get the kills rather than going wreckless into the opponent when my ulti was up. I guess it just depends on your gameplay.

Meiyjhe - I'm only Gold rank bro, I am not good at all in the game, but if you can find another build guide better than the one I just suggested, then so be it and follow theirs. I'm only here to tell people how I build my Warwick, and it works for me. My screenshots and match history shows this.

Although you cannot see the team score, I assure you 3 of those past games I had a feeding bot lane, losing mid lane, and a fail jungle. I took on 3 enemies, had 1 chase me across the map, and left 1 for my team to kill. If this build does not work for you then so be it, I did not post this build for you to tell me to delete it because you are silver and you know better.
Again I thank you for your comment, but that was just slightly below the belt.

I play vs Platinums and Diamonds all the time in "Normal" games because of my duos and trios, and find that this build still turns me into a hard tank AP carry late game, beating the majority (if not all) of high elo players in the top lane. The enemy champions consisted of Elise, Kayle x2, Tryndamere, Lulu, Malphite, Yorick x3, etc. I'm not a pro player, so obviously this build DOING SOMETHING for my gameplay =]

Overall, if anyone tries this build and it works for them, good for you!
I tried my best to keep Warwick in the game (As noone plays him in season 3, or do not know how to play him). I tried my best to explain how I win games with this champ, not brag about my maths in my build. If you can do better screenshot or video YOUR WW build for me Meiyjhe and then I'll listen to that comment and delete this page. I've already played over 1k games on this account alone, if you are trying to teach me something here - do it in a more formal way please.

Let's see what you really are; let's analyze your build:
1. Liandry's Torment - AP item
2. Mercury's Threads - Defense item
3. Wit's End - Defensive apply on hit item
4. Frozen Heart - Defensive item
5. Spirit Visage - Defensive item
6. Iceborn Gauntlet - Defensive "sheen" item

This is waaaaay more tanky than it is AP, you are way better off switching Liandry's Torment for BotRK and maybe change Mercury's threads to Sorcerer's Shoes if you really want that magic penetration.

Also, in this build you have more than 40% CDR which is a waste of your money.
You would be better off changing Iceborn Gauntlet to a Frozen Mallet, or the Spirit Visage in to a Warmog's Armor.

And: Even though you have a tanky build, you have got only 500 bonus HP from items, which is a pretty low amount, especially considering the current meta.

Finally:

Full tank teams with AOE ultimates is pretty hilarious and works actually pretty well, untill the enemy get's anti-cc items :P
But seriously though, have you ever had a team full with squishies? That you had a team where NO ONE could initiate :O
Didn't you hate that feeling that you couldn't do **** without dieing?
This is why a tank is so important, and the more the tank is fed, the more damage it can take, thus the easier he can make good initiates.

Tanks need to have the control over the battlefield, and control is so ******* important D:


Please, go play a looooooooooot of league of legends untill you understand the concept of these important things. There are just so many misunderstandings in your guide, it is unbelievable.

Just archive this guide, that is probably the best for everyone.

Sirell - Hi, thanks for the comment. Whether or not I build more Tank on my build, it still is an AP Tank Warwick, as my build name clearly states. Warwick does not play well with just getting his AP to 600, that alone cannot help you carry the game for your team especially when Warwick tends to attract the most focus in any team fight. Having an "AP teemo guide" doesn't mean you go all out AP on the champion. Having items like Wit's End, Maladay, BOTR is still counted as being AP. I don't understand why you lot think a Teemo with those items are counted as AP, but a Warwick doesn't.. That's a bit awkward..

Tanks do not carry the game, otherwise why is the meta not "tank bot lane, tank mid lane, tank top lane, and tank jungle"?

Thanks =]

AP Warwick actually exists... so please don't lump AP Warwick and tank Warwick together as if they are the same thing. This is a tanky Warwick guide, not an AP Warwick guide.

And yes, tanks can carry a game. Quite hard as well.
