Introduction

Who the heck am I?! I'm just an average League player that kinda sucks, but I still love the game. Warwick was my first jungler, and he is amazing.

Starting out...

You always want to go for the blue buff, as Warwick is EXTREMELY mana-hungry, and he needs the extra mana regen in order to get his jungle clear without screwing up. Warwick is one of the few junglers that can clear his first buff without the requirement for a leash, as you already have enough sustain to go around.

Typical clear order

After you get your blue, you typically want to clear your jungle in this order:
Gromp
Wolves
Raptors
Krug/Red buff
Red buff/Krug
(the last two are kinda a bit of a toss up as to which you want to go for first)

Tips for clearing

Because you're up against the Gromp first, you are likely going to die against it if you aren't using your skills. When you attack it, activate your E IMMEDIATELY in order to prevent as much damage as possible from its initial onslaught. All the time when you're going through your jungle clear, you must be constantly spamming your Q. It's what keeps you alive at higher health, as his passive doesn't start proccing the lifesteal until you hit half health, which you never want to risk going for in the first place. The wolves aren't too much different, but they are easier. The Raptors are where it gets annoying, as they can deal a lot of damage so fast. And at this point you don't have any area of effect damage, so you are going to take a lot of damage if you don't proc your E as soon as you engage. The Krugs are a pain as well, mainly cause the giant one can cause a lot of damage.

Tips for ganks pre-6

If someone on our team needs a gank before you have your ult available to you, one of the best things to do is, firstly, manually activate your W so you can chase them reliably. then when you're in close range, activate your E twice to slow them down so you can start laying the claw on them. If you are slightly out of range, then you can activate your Q and hold it down to leap to the other side of them so you can continue the claw.

Drake Assassinations

First, you want to keep the drake area warded in case someone tries to snatch it under your snout. Next, you ALWAYS want to kill your first drake at level 5. As long as you are spamming your Q, you should have enough sustain to kill it without dying. You can actually solo the drake at level 5 easily. Anyone else there on your team should be watching for the enemy jungler coming to take it and make sure they are no longer a nuisance.

Post-6 Ganks

After level 6, ganking becomes a lot easier. When you get somewhat close to your target, manually activate your Blood Hunt so you can get the extra chasing ability and the extra cast range for your ult. Once you get close, ult onto them and while you are clawing their eyes out, use your Summoner Smite on them (by now you should have gotten Skirmisher's Sabre) in order to get the damage reduction. Then you just execute the commands given above in my earlier ganking chapter.

Late game

Warwick's late game is pretty boring, but you still can pull it off. You need to keep the buffs in mind as they will improve your performance. Team fights are pretty much your worst nightmare. Warwick is a duelist champion, meaning he excels at 1v1s. He falls off if you need to do any team fights as you don't have multi-target abilities and the extent of your AoE is your Hydra passive, which doesn't do much. Try to isolate one champion and murder them. That's all. See ya!
