Yadada champ tweaks bore me.
So i've been playing this game for about a year now. One character that i've always known how to play is
Warwick. He's the first champion that i've ever seen played. Not the first one i used, but the one i first starting getting used to gameplay with. So anyways, let's beging this guide about how to jungle with
Warwick.



In the Nautilus patch they tweaked his passive. Now, he deals more damage but took out some of his sustain to adjust it. I guess it was because of top lane



The most range you have excluding your ult. It is also a tank-eating machine. And heals you for so very much. This and your passive combined give you the most sustain in the game. Hands down.

You want to take dragon down faster? Here you go. You want to farm faster? Yup, right here. You want a boost over your enemy? Here again. By far the strongest attack speed boost a champion has.

If an enemy team member is below 50% health and this is at rank 5, you know where they are from halfway across the map. You also will get a speed boost because of this. Warwick wants blood, and so do you.

The Nautilus patch has buffed this ultimate and it needed the buff. It still applies on-hit affects like it used to, but it does a lot more damage. Before the Nautilus patch this ultimate was mainly used to CC and turn battles in your favor to gain some health back. Now, you can deal a fair amount of damage with it. But i'd still prefer if it was physical damage as opposed to magic damage.
Marks
Greater Mark of Attack Speed Attack speed. You need it to jungle as
Warwick. You're going to get the most of it from marks, so get them here.
Seals
Greater Seal of Armor Armor is for jungling. It makes it much much easier for you to jungle with some defensive stats for armor. Not to mention if you get counter jungled you will have a defensive edge over them if they don't have any.
Glyphs
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist Magic resist that scales into late game. I don't care what champion you are, there is no such thing as too much magic resist. Always a good option.
Quints
greater quintessence of desolation Here's the armor pen you're wondering why i left out. More than enough to clear them jungle camps out easily.

For jungle WW the best way to go into masteries is 21/9/0. Making sure to take both
Weapon Expertise
and
Arcane Knowledge
. Why both? Because your
Hungering Strike and
Infinite Duress both deal magic and physical damage. Optimize damage for science, and vice versa. But
Warwick is one of the few champs i feel benefits from having a point in
Executioner
. Mainly because of bloodscent. Make sure to take the improved smite from the defensive tree and the
Bladed Armor
because you are jungling after all.







STARTING ITEMS FOR BOTH ITEM BUILDS
Long Sword &
Health Potion - This is entirely to boost your jungle speed. Even with the buff in the Nautilus patch he's one of the slowest jungles there are. However, you can speed it up with some extra damage.
Boots - Always get boots the first time back. Everyone else probably has a pair, so you don't want to be left behind.
Madred's Razors - To speed up your jungle speed and start building towards that expensive
Madred's Bloodrazor.
Mercury's Treads - should be able to get these on the second time back to the shop. get them for the cc reduction and magic resist to be tankier.
CORE ITEMS FOR BUILD 1
Madred's Bloodrazor
Since
Warwick's ultimate scales more heavily off of damage built and applies on-hit affects, this item is great. Better than
Wriggle's Lantern was before, not to mention it isn't basing your farming off of NRGs it's consistent damage to anyone with tons of health.
Spirit Visage
Great item that's cheap and extremely effective. Magic resist, cooldown reduction, health and an amazing passive. Will basically give you what
Wriggle's Lantern would give you sustain wise for another champion. You're tankier and have more sustain and more ulti's.
Frozen Heart
Win those duels with pesky ADs. Make them hit you slowly while you kill them softly. Cooldown reduction, mana pool, armor and a good aura to counter their team.
CORE ITEMS FOR BUILD 2
Wriggle's Lantern
If you don't feel like you're coming out of the jungle as healthy as you want. Or if you want a free ward over taking down high-health champ builds.
Phage
So you can build it into a
Frozen Mallet. Gives you some more damage and some more health. Not to mention better chasing potential which is optimized when you get
Frozen Mallet though.
Wit's End
Your basic attacks already deal extra magic damage so now you deal more per hit as well as dish out more of those hybrid auto attacks. Check the stats after the game on damage dealt, it will most likely be split 50/50 between physical and magic damage. Oh, this item also gives you some pretty good magic resistance too.
Frozen Mallet
In my opinion, one of the scariest items on
Warwick. If you get one auto or
Hungering Strike on an enemy with
Blood Scent they will never get away. Ever. And you'll probably be beefier than most other champs at this point in the game so your passive life steal will most likely win most duels or leave you the last man standing.
Against Heavy AD
Ninja Tabi - I think that the passive on it is a little OP, but it's good.
Randuin's Omen - SLLOOOOWWW DOOOOWWWWNNN.
Atma's Impaler - More damage, more tank. If that's what you're after.
Aginst Heavy AP
Abyssal Mask - Wait, what? Again, your damaging abilities inflict magic damage. But only your
Hungering Strike scales off AP. But the 20 points of magic resist shred can sometimes be invaluable.
Force of Nature - Move faster, regenerate health if you can't always hit something and resist a lot of magic damage.
Quicksilver Sash - If heavy CC is annoying or
Ignite is killing you.
General Tankiness
Aegis of the Legion - Health and the best aura in the game for team fights.
Guardian Angel - Everything for absorbing damage, and a pretty decent passive. I don't really like the passive that much though to be honest.
More Damage
Bloodthirster - MOAR STEALS OF LIFE.
Last Whisper - If you want your auto attacks to do more damage.
Black Cleaver - Same as
Last Whisper but after you ulted someone, they will have the 4 stacks of this on them and your auto's will tear them to shreds.
Youmuu's Ghostblade - Because armor pen is always great, not to mention you will probably be at capped attack speed with this, hunter's call and
Madred's Bloodrazor or
Wit's End.

More Damage







Start at wolves. You should be able to take at least the big one down before blue spawns. Have a teammate leash blue for you. Hit it once or twice, and THEN hit hunter's call.
Warwick jungling is easy, but there is some trick to it. But that's only in mana burn. After you got blue, finish off the wolves if you didn't get all of them. Move to wraiths. Hit the blue one once,
Hungering Strike it, and then pop hunter's call. Do this on all the other camps and you'll see how easy it is to stay in the jungle all game long getting experience. IF ONLY THEY RESPAWNED FASTER.


Your job as
Warwick is to stay on top of their carries. Take your pick, AP or AD carry. More likely than not, you can take them on and roll them. But all you may need to do to win a team fight is ult the right person. Be wise with your ult. You might be able to keep one of them from doing something, but there are 4 other people around you that can take you off who you ulted just as easily.
