Basilcy because he does enough to get by, but not enough to excel. There are too many champions now that can nullify him. Sure, he CAN spiral out of control but the likely hood of that happening is becoming slimmer. Look at taric, who's getting a full on AOE invulnerabilty ult to help shake him up. He's not as immediately reliable and you have to put in more work, but the results sure make him feel a lot more like an acutal cosmic paladin of sorts.

Warwick is also a champ who's so simple he could become boring to some. Most of his ablities usually just require clicking on a target and thats it. he doesn't need to aim anything and his early game is not very strong. It often gets to a point where whatever you ult on doesn't matter, because whoever is on the enemy team will just smack you off. If they can't, they're nto in a very good spot to begin with. All of his playstile revolves around staying VERY close to a target and just slapping them over and over. His blood passive is useful but only if you've already severed half of someone's health, making it PRETTY redundant. His only real defense against things is hoping he can out hp regen them, which doesn't happen too much in secure match ups.

If he had any sort of gap closer on a steadier pace than his ult, a way to mark specific targets for his bloodlust so he can focus on ganking them even if lose team smell, a way to revel up his attack spede without just giving a blanket attack speed buff to everyone. His blood passive alone is basilcy 'passive' levels of power, the same way ashe's frost shot was so basic it evenutally just got added into her passive because of how redundant it was to ahve it as a seperate skill.

Warwick, as a blood thirsty werewolf hunter, has a lot more potential to be something greater, and a bit more engaging to play. Not mechanically loaded, just 'more than clicking and just throwing down your W because why wouldn't you? You know who took over his role as hunter? Rengar. While Warwick was all about the sustain and easy and reliable clears, rengar can come barreling down towards you and destroy you in an instant, and doing so makes his passive stronger
