User blog comment:Typhron/Warwick "Rework"/@comment-4881935-20121113205319/@comment-60764-20121113232242

I don't mind making AP Warwick viable, but I'm not going to make it his main focus (I'm not sure that's Riot's intent. Then again, I'm not sure what they're intent is/could be with him), that being up to the individual player. Like Twisted Fate, giving him AP scaling does make him versatile in multple forms of the game, which I believe Riot wants (AP for hard jungling/burst damage, AD or AP/AS for more sustain/solo top build, hybrid for avid use of both/either).

And like I said in the explanation thing: part of the problem with changing him too much could be (and usually is) given to new champions.
