AbilitiesLeague Wiki
Warwick is particularly oppressive in lower skill brackets of play, so we're looking to make his claws and teeth just a little less lethal. As he's often able to simply build tank items later in the game, we're nudging him toward keeping up with damage purchases by reducing his guaranteed late game damage output.

In this patch we're providing a feels improvement as a follow-up to the changes we made last month. We're starting by slightly increasing Q's tap range to make up for the difference that slightly increased his range and hitbox size as a result of the size growth. Next up, W's attack speed buff now has a much longer duration in addition to a few QoL improvements which should make our favorite dad smoother to play. We're dropping his base AD a touch just to make room for these other buffs.
