The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Masteries
Introduction
Hi, I'm Natalia. My Summoner name is XxNataliaxX on the NA server. I main Warwick 
Warwick jungle in Bronze...yes, I said Bronze. Along with a top Irelia 
Irelia and adc MF 
Miss Fortune I just started playing this season and found Warwick to be one of the versatile champs in the game. I am revising the original guide after some very constructive criticism. and some superb advise that I have tested and found to be really really good. Thank you "The Pink Poro" for that.
Runes
Runes: As I said in the Notes, My standard setup of 9 x Hybrid Pen Marks Greater Mark of Hybrid Penetration, 9 x Armor Seals 
Greater Seal of Armor, 9 x Scaling AP Glyphs 
Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power, and 3 x Attack Speed Quints 
Greater Quintessence of Attack Speed Is my normal setup for WW Warwick. This is for late game dominance, however it will give you a very fast clear time in the early game.
Another option is to switch the 9 Glyphs and the 9 Marks with Attack Speed 
Greater Mark of Attack Speed
Greater Glyph of Attack Speed That setup allows a very fast early game and clear time in the jungle.
Masteries
Due to WW's Warwick innate abilities, I set his masteries around his defense. His early jungle sustain becomes even longer and he can fight with most other jungler's in the early game and win.
Items
Here we go the Bread and Butter of this for most people..lol I was one of them.
Starting Items: To start buy the Hunter's Machete 
Hunter's Machete, 1 x Health Potion 
Health Potion, and a pink vision ward 
Vision Ward.
The Machete will start the count of your feral flare plus help you in the jungle, with WW passive heal, you will not need a lot of health potions, and the vision ward will give you some early river vision before anything spawns.
First Back: No, This doesnt mean you have to go back at 775 gold. Yes I have been asked that a lot actually. So first item is your Hunter's Machete Hunter's Machete upgrade to Madred's Razor 
Madred's Razors, and your basic boots 
Boots of Speed.
Madred's will help with your jungle clear and boots make you faster.
Core items: After your first back, Build Blade of the Ruined King 
Blade of the Ruined King, then finish wriggle's lantern 
Wriggle's Lantern. Usually by the time I finish Wriggle's, My Mob count is between 27 and 29 for feral. Its very cheap to build and the bonuses from BOTRK Blade of the Ruined King are too good too pass up up and wait for.
Next I build Frozen Heart 
Frozen Heart for heavy AD teams, or Spirit Visage 
Spirit Visage for heavy AP teams. When building frozen, Build Glacial Shroud 
Glacial Shroud first. The CD from it will help out a lot. Spirit Visage will add to your life steal of your damage and makes you able to tank turrets after bot defense core items are built.
Side note: The CD redux of Frozen Heart Frozen Heart will bring your ulti to 56 seconds cd in late game (lvl 16). Just enough time for the opponent carry to respawn, and get melted again.
Boots depends on the team, use Ninja Tabi 
Ninja Tabi for heavy AD Teams, Merc Treads 
Mercury's Treads for Heavy AP, or normal games use Boots of swiftness 
Boots of Swiftness.
Last item choice: Depending on what you need, More offense, use Wit's End 
Wit's End, More overall defense use Guardian Angel 
Guardian Angel my favorite, or Randuin's Omen
Randuin's Omen ,Banshee's Veil 
Banshee's Veil for heavy AD/AP respectively.
Jungle Path and Early Game.
Start at the closest buff to your bottom lane (blue/purple side, red/blue side). 3 man leash is faster than a 2 man leash, just saying..lol Next move to waiths/wolves then to the other buff. You only need to use Hunter's Call 
Hunters Call unless your low health. From there it will put you top lane for a gank at approximately 2:40 to 3:00.
If top lane is winning or pushed to the enemy turret, go to the Wight and kill it. then move your way back down the line through wolves/wraiths/golems. Watch the map, if any lane starts getting pushed, move toward it to help. (Lately in Bronze i have noticed that opponent junglers will wait to lvl 4 or 5 and gank bot first. You will end at bot at the same time as them for a great counter gank. It will either feed you or your carry.)
After ganking bot, move back up the line. You will hit lvl 6 either right before your first buff respawns or with the first respawned buff at about 6:45 to 7:30. That's when the mid game for me begins.
If one of your lanes (mainly mid/top) needs to back and you are in the area, cover for them. kill a few creeps but dont push the lane. You are there to keep the opponent from taking the tower.
Note: See Tips and Tricks (I know, there's not too many) for below 6 clean up ganks or counter ganks.
Mid game
So you are now the Big Bad Scary Wolf at level 6. So what now? Gank, Countergank, and if you have time kill monsters. Map awareness is a key item for me. See what lane is being pushed, and gank for them. Ensure you communicate with pings and chat so the lane knows youre coming. Keep up helping with map vision by warding for your lanes. They will love you for the help, and it helps you to see where the enemy jungler is headed for the countergank. Continue building your core items.
Late/End game
Core items built....check, Opponent players are frustrated with WW coming out of nowhere....check. Late game, with your core items built, WW shines. Team fights, target the carry with your ulti Infinite Duress. This in itself will draw almost the whole enemy team to focus you. As your carry works his way down the line picking them off. With your life steal and attack speed, it takes them a while to kill you. By the time it is done, You may be dead, however so are 3-5 of the enemy players. Rinse and repeat.
I do not care about a KD ratio, I care about winning and what's is good for the team. If I have to die for that to happen, I will.
Along that last statement. If you happen to have to retreat and the enemy team is catching up and will kill all of your players, I will jump into their team to slow them. Yes I die, however, 1 death is better than 3 or 4 and it will leave the rest of your team to defend.. Communicate that to your team beforehand.
Core build also allows you to tank turrets for your team as you push to win. A good thing to have if the lanes are pushed and you need a quick inhibitor or finally get that inhibitor turret out of the way.
Tips and tricks
I know Blood scent is nice to have, however use it on your ganks between 3-6. If the opponent laner is pushing hard or killed your laner turn it off, go into lane behind him. Once he sees you, hell run especially if he is low, usually into the closest bush. Turn Blood Scent on. Insta speed to close the gap, and vision of him.
Be a team player! Yes WW can carry, yes he is hard to kill. However, You do not have to carry, it's a team game not a 1v1 game. Help your laners to carry the game and just support them. I usually rather have 20 assists than 10 kills. As you see above, I have more assists than kills in 90 percent of my games for that exact reason.
Work with your laners. If your in a gank, and your laner is behind, pull off the enemy and let the laner finish him. Get them back in the game.
There is no shame in leaving a jungle camp unfinished to help or gank a lane. then you come back. I have left the small mobs in the buff camp many times to go help top/bot/mid kill the opponent then come back and finish.
One of the forgotten things is WW's ability with the Super monsters (Drag/Baron) WW can solo Drag at around lvl 6. I usually wait until I have BOTRK Blade of the Ruined King or close to it. If your laners can help great if not so be it. Baron can be soloed at 16. This does take a bit, so pick your time wisely so you do not get caught with your pants down.
Level 3-6 ganks work (especially in Bronze) because nobody on the map expects it. Too many times I see WW players say "I'll start ganks when i have level 6" or "WW doesn't gank till 6" At low rankings it is a surprise attack and will keep the opponents on their toes after the first ganks. Why? because they didnt expect it until 6 and now have to worry where the hell you are and where you are going next.
Communicate, communicate, communicate. Let your laner know you're coming to gank. 2v1 is better than 1v1. Many times with communication, the "all chat" lights up after a gank, "where the heck did WW come from" Remember you're a wolf. YOU LIVE FOR THE PACK.
