I think everyone was familiair with the Smitewick. He was picked even in the top lane and it was perfectly viable. It was however too strong and Riot decided they needed to nerf either the Skirmisher's Sabre or Warwick himself.

However, Riot decided to make him completely unviable by nerfing them both.

Sabre's true damage is now a DoT, Hunters Call's duration is now 6 seconds (down from 10 seconds) and Infinite Duress now deals 150/250/350 damage (down from 250/325/420)

What was Riot thinking here and is there any way that WW can still be played?

They actually nerfed Skirmisher's Sabre - Devourer, basically both.

And no, magewick lost his ultimate damage which he could combine with Deathfire Grasp to oneshot people, so meh.

Why not go the normal on-hit build and add Deathfire Grasp? Could be fun :D.



Sounds kinda funny, one-shot time :D. Nashor's Tooth then deals 42 damage, so it must be the right way. Of course, you will get one-shot as well but who cares, it is just to prove that he can still one-shot people.

Sounds like fun. At level 18 if you use DFG then your ultimate would deal about 1200 magic damage (if my math is correct) plus the physical damage from BotRK and true damagge from smite, not counting runes, masteries or resistances. Plus about 500 damage from your Q right after. That would actually be enough to one-shot a carry as long as they haven't built a defensive yet.

Problem is, you die after 1 second and before using Q.^^

BTW: You should run hybrid penetration runes with that build, as AS runes are wasted.

Warwick is still an ultibot past level 6 in order to setup ganks. That is his niche and he will still be able to do that. So dont worry and just play him!
