User blog comment:Typhron/Warwick "Rework"/@comment-69.119.114.73-20121118041740/@comment-60764-20121120200552


 * E not stopping suppression and stuns (and silences) are done on purpose, to balance the ability and, aestetically, give Warwick a theme that he can be stopped when a player/character tries hard enough. It not only stops the body but the mind behind Warwick, which he could easily ignore if his faculties were in order.


 * I've said before that I don't want (and don't think that Riot's intention is) to have Warwick be a straight up Mage. BUT, Magewick is/was something of an old build Warwick players usd to have fun with due to the low cooldown of Hungering Strike and the high damage that can be gained from it (and on-hit effects doing full damage on Infinite Duress). I didn't see a reason to remove that fun little thing, despite his primary focus being AD/Bruiser. He can also be built hybrid, which is a plus. This build shares this trait with Twisted Fate and Akali (to a lesser degree).


 * Warwick has always been an amazing 1v1 duelist that has trouble focusing more than one person. The changes to the ult keep him that way without giving him straight up AoE or turning him into another Rengar or Khazix. It's the boon of being an assassin.
