The new kit is really prototypical, and ZenontheStoic (the Rioter reworking Warwick) admitted himself he was terrible with balanced. New WW definitely looks powerful, but I don't think he's anywhere close to broken: his base damage is on par with the base damages of other tanks, and unlike nearly every other tank his crowd control can be dodged. His tankiness is also directly tied to itemization, so if you go for an AP or on-hit build you're not going to get the same amount of free sustain as he does now, even though he'll have more synergy with said builds.
