Playing as Warwick

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Hold your bite

    Hold Jaws of the Beast (Q) to latch onto your target: you follow all their movement, dashes included, then leap behind them.

  2. Tank, then fear

    Cast Primal Howl (E) in the middle of the fight: you take less damage, then the howl fears nearby enemies. Recast it to fear sooner.

  3. Leap onto their carry

    Cast Infinite Duress (R) on their carry: you suppress the first champion hit and heal for all the damage dealt. Your move speed lengthens the leap.

  4. Follow the trail of the wounded

    Follow the Blood Hunt (W) trails: you sense champions below 50% health and gain speed toward them, three times more below 25%.

Playing against Gangplank

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Pop his kegs before he does

    Destroy his kegs before he does: a Powder Keg (E) destroyed by an enemy is defused, and each keg loses health over time.

  2. All-in, he has no dash

    If you can engage, go all-in: his kit has no dash to escape.

  3. Save a CC for after his W

    If your team has several CCs, don't use them all at once: Remove Scurvy (W) cleanses all his CC, then has a 22 to 14 second cooldown.

  4. Get out of his keg zone

    In teamfights, get out of his kegs' area: each Powder Keg (E) explosion deals the damage of the attack that set it off, ignores part of your armor and slows you.
