Nunu & Willump
Due to Nunu's fast and safe clear, he can early invade bringing him an early lead that you will find difficult to come back from. He can also use W to cancel your R negating your main sustain and engage. He can build armour early to win most duels against you, and the amount of CC can negate your blood hunt. I normally insta-ban this matchup as this is the equivalent of punching a brick wall. IF HE DOES NOT INVADE OR BULLY, you will outscale him, so play for the long game.
Yuumi
Works well with anyone. Heals, makes u faster, he R allows for easy engage, etc.

Champion Build Guide
But anyway, here is a cheese Warwick build that works well in any elo. This modifies Warwick's subclass from bruiser to more of a fighter/assassin due to high damage output and more brittleness. Rageblade is a large component of this build as it applies your passive, and item abilities twice on every 3rd hit. This amplifies your damage, sustain and armour shred (if Black Cleaver). This build pushes Warwick's 1v1 potential but reduces his overall tankiness.
Some things before the rest of this guide:
1. You are more brittle than normal due to you building more damage items than tanky items.
2. This takes a bit to come into play, as you build Rageblade late, you can push it earlier though. This forces you to take the early lead or fall behind. SO DON'T PASSIVE FARM, GANK AND INVADE.
3. Weird items
4. Boots are optional late game, due to Goredrinker's passive of providing additional ability haste, your R will be faster than usual allowing for the lesser need of MS. Also bloodtrail.
5. Don't take unfavourable fights as it is easy to fall behind due to the high requirement of gold.
Mid-game is your strongest point, where you SHOULD have Mythic + smth else. If you are not already behind, take favourable 1v1s and gank often. Utilise your W to the max as the bloodtrail provided allows for fast map traverse and gank potential. Don't take too many risks and keep tag on where your opposing jungler is.
IF YOU ARE BEHIND, try to take favourable ganks, by asking your laners to set up ganks. DO NOT PASSIVE FARM AS YOU WILL FALL BEHIND. Try not to 1v1 any fed players without backup in close vicinity as it might backfire. Know your matchups and avoid falling behind further. No one likes feeding.
Also ward the jungle and keep the vision line up. Don't forget to get objectives like Dragon when you can and ALWAYS farm in between ganks so you don't fall behind in gold.
Avoid getting kited as always and try to not get insta-shutdown to get the most out of your teamfight sustain.





1. Holding Q can deny ALL CC. But timing is key
2. Your R is a skill shot and scales with MS. So predict and learn it.
3. By using E, and reactivating E can fear champions JUST outside your Q range, allowing you to catch them, then using hold Q to get behind them to close them in.
3. Oppositely, by using hold Q into E fear can force opponents into your team for a quick finish.
4. Since in this build, R has a relatively low cooldown, you can use it to jump over walls to escape confrontation and unfavourable matchups.
5. By holding Q when you know your opponent will dash away will drag you with them.
6. Q applies your on-hit affects btw
7. By using E before engaging with R can cause a teamfear allowing you to gain a massive teamfight advantage so keep this in mind.
8. You are heavily f***ed by Grevious and Ignite, so try to avoid that. idk what to do bro...
9. You can see low champions via their blood trains even in fog of war, so use that to scout out the opposing team and for quick follow-ups and finishes.
10. Your R is countered by CC.
