Talk:Warwick/@comment-3974211-20170111042821

Given that his W is damageless and both his Q and R apply on-hit effects, Warwick is one of the few champions in the League that cannot apply spell effects innately (i.e. he can with Gunblade, Chilling Smite, etc). Thus, Rylai's literally doesn't work on him; and neither does Luden's Echo. His lack of AP ratios is likely to stop people falling into a trap and buying non-functional items, and not necessarily because they set out to kill the off-build (although I guess you could argue they made the items non-functional for that reason).
