Warwick was the same since a few buffs when mordekaiser was released in 2010. Then when we got the new jungle, it left him wanting. Someone ran him top because he was lame in jungle (before a few more changes that season), he became horribly FOTM, and as a result got nerfed several times, not because he is strong. If it were because he was too strong, why was he the same for TWO YEARS? Plus, look at his mana pool, and his kit, then look at Jayce. More utility in Jayce's kit, more damage, less overall cost, and he regains mana on hit so mana isn't more of an issue as well. Riot balancing is far from perfect, and they include factors such as popularity rather than strength.
