All
When Warwick is out of vision, be cautious of his ultimate (R) range — it scales with his movement speed, allowing him to engage from surprisingly long distances.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
Stay above 50% health when laning against Warwick — his Blood Hunt gives him bonus attack speed and movement speed against wounded targets, making him much more dangerous.
Basic Lane Phase
Be especially wary of Warwick at level 6 — this is his largest power spike and his ultimate allows him to engage from unexpected angles with CC immunity during the leap.
Lane Phase
Avoid extended trades with Warwick when he's at low health — his passive healing increases by 250% when below 25% health, making him much harder to kill than he appears.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Force Warwick to use his Q before engaging — this ability has an 8-6 second cooldown and is his primary source of healing and damage.
Lane Phase Skirmish
When below 50% health, play much further back — Warwick can sense wounded champions globally and gains significant movement speed when heading toward them.
Lane Phase Late Game
Bait out Warwick's E (Primal Howl) before committing to all-ins — the 35-55% damage reduction combined with the fear makes him extremely difficult to take down during this ability.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Look to engage immediately after Warwick uses his ultimate — the long cooldown (110/90/70 seconds) leaves him vulnerable without his primary engage tool.
Skirmish Team Fight
Use ranged poke against Warwick — he has limited gap closers outside of his Q (short range) and ultimate, making him vulnerable to being kited.
Lane Phase Team Fight
Be aware that Warwick can hold his Q to dash behind you — this allows him to body-block your escape path and follow your movement.
