Playing against Warwick
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
His R can be blocked by allies — position behind a frontline.
Grievous Wounds reduces his massive sustain from Q and passive — buy it early.
Warwick is stronger when him or the enemie is low on HP (bonus attack speed and lifesteal) — burst him before he drains.
His held Q makes him dash behind you: be careful about your position after a Q.
