I did at one point believe they might actually make him a true werewolf, perhaps with a lot similar to the Worgen from HOTS, since he currently occupies a very similar gameplay space to Rengar (as far as a Bounty Hunter/Predator) goes, and a similar visual space to Volibear (in terms of build and ease of skin confusion, I remember people thinking Marauder Warwick was a Volibear skin based on the artwork). There's also the fact we won't ever get another werewolf and I felt it seemed only appropriate the fantasy is actually fully delivered.

I'd also be completely happy with Fenris from SMITE, who has a very similar kit to Warwick already (at least superficially, although I haven't checked in a year so this may not be true now) - including a similar ultimate, except that it's more similar to Skarner and I doubt this would be overlapped. Given how much more appropriate it would be for a giant wolf to carry someone else around in its maw, I would almost be inclined to wish they'd change Skarner... But alas.

Warwick is fun but I imagine his new kit will be only superficially similar, similar to Yorick. Despite what others may say, Yorick's new kit is actually quite cleverly designed since it encompasses all the ways he's currently played and reinforces them (a split pusher with an overwhelming presence in lane and a 2v1 ultimate), rather than creating a new gameplay space for him.
