Tank Warwick - Why the hell would someone do that?

[quote=GuiFrnandes]I play as a Tank and I love tanking. I was here on mobafire looking for a new tank to play, and when I activated the "tank" filter I saw Warwick on the list. Then I saw that there really are guides for a tank Warwick. How can it be viable? Warwick has no skills for protection or initiation and his only CC is his Ult. Yeah, his passive gives him a great sustain in lane, but Warwick is a awesome offensive champ, and I think it would be a waste to buy Tank itens to someone who has his great attack potential.[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]-Almost no melee champions in this game work without building somewhat tanky because otherwise they die in one second. -He doesn't scale well with either AP or AD, having only one AP scaling and one AD scaling. -His Q [i]does[/i] scale with enemy health, so he gets some damage regardless of what he builds. Basically the [i]only[/i] viable way to build him is tanky with on-hit. How else would you build him?[/quote]

[quote=Phil15]I agree with Luther and you say no initiation? Hum derpiderp you use his ult to last hit? Building him bruiser is the only way man[/quote]

[quote=Mikuroo]tankwick is op just saying. add the fact that ww has pretty good base stats and damg[/quote]

[quote=GuiFrnandes]Please, understand the difference between Tank and bruiser/off-tank: Tanks: - usually play on duo lane. - they must protect the carries - they don't get kills - they have CC - they must attract the atention to themselves on team fights Bruisers/Off-tanks: - can play solo or duo lane - able to stay on lane for a long time - noticeable resistance - good damage output - they get kills Warwick is one excelent Bruiser/ Off-tank (and no one can deny it) but some guys are wasting his potential by building an all-defensive warwick, destined to protect carries. This is what pisses me off![/quote]

Especially after the wits end nerf. off-topic, does anyone of you ever build trinity force on him?[/quote]

IMO a great build for WW is Aurawick! FH, Aegis, Zekes, (Abyssal or any MR item, even Spirit Visage)! P.S, a tank's job is not to distract attention, lol what kinda noobs focus a tank anyway? Your job is to CC and peel, and disable, so that the opponent CANNOT focus the carry.[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]Tanks don't play on duo-lane; who said that? bot lane (duo) is often a support + ADC The support doesn't have to be a tank. Soraka Sona Janna aren't tanks Most "tanks" don't even exist anymore in this game. People build offtank items on pretty much every champ now. The only "tanks" that I know of build auras. Bruisers and offtanks peel off enemies from your carries too. Most people build WW with CDR and tankiness.[/quote]

[quote=Hutshi]Haha, Duff goes on and on about that Aurawick :P Also a tanky WW who stalks the enemy AD-Carry and forces them to kite instead of auto attacking is really annoying..[/quote]

[/quote] I sorta do that but yea I use a mix between tank and offense, also I usually pick up the kills on them squishy champs, I stalk them all day long :3 (especially you teemo, you are highly annoying)[/quote]
