Actually ... no. With a smite-ult combo, you will, depending on targets defenses, do anywhere between 40% and 60% of their hp in damage. No more. And Q will not be enough to kill them either. The fact is, Warwick is highly overrated. Some youtubers pointed out Warwicks admitively decent synergy with the new smite, and people are vastly overpraising him. Of course, this causes the true master of the new items, that being Yi (who does the same damage as Warwick does during his ult by simply autoattacking, except his damage doesnt get nullified by cc, he can avoid cc, he does it for 10 seconds instead of 1.8, he can stack devourer a lot better, and he doesnt have problems getting in range or kiting), slip under the radar completely.

Now someone might now say "look at his win rate". Sadly, thats a weak argument. Win rates are not as clear cut as we would wish them to be. There are a lot more factors than just power. In fact, power is not even the most important one. Its number 3. Likewise, ban rate is not only a power thing. The reality is, people think Warwick is a lot better than he actually is (I mean, yeah, he is strong, but I wouldnt even put him in the highest tier), and because of that play sloppily (thinking "he is so broken anyway, why even bother"), causing a skewed win rate.
