Playing against Warwick

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

His R can be blocked by allies — position behind a frontline.

2

Grievous Wounds reduces his massive sustain from Q and passive — buy it early.

3

Warwick is stronger when him or the enemie is low on HP (bonus attack speed and lifesteal) — burst him before he drains.

4

His held Q makes him dash behind you: be careful about your position after a Q.
