Reasons Why Warwick is a Strong Carry
In season 8.5, Warwick is a champion that has received a lot of attention as he replaces Zed in the Laser Corps trait. This champion possesses strong passives, as Warwick has built-in lifesteal and high attack speed upon securing takedowns. Therefore, as long as Warwick can survive team fights, he will “carry the team” to victory.
According to the advice from top players, it is recommended to use Warwick alongside 3 Scrap units. Being supported by Hecarim will help Warwick avoid taking damage early in the round while activating the strong effects of the A.D.M.I.N trait (healing, increased damage upon takedowns).
Building the “Super Wolf” Warwick Comp
In the early game, players should aim to acquire Blitzcrank early to lay the foundation for the A.D.M.I.N comp in the later stages. Moreover, activating 2 Brawlers combined with 1-cost carries like Kayle and Lucian will help players build a strong comp to secure a winning streak fairly easily.
By the mid-game, aiming for 4 Brawlers is a key activation point to ensure durability. If you haven’t found Warwick by this stage, players should maximize the power of their early carries. If using Lucian, it’s important to activate either Quick Draw or Outlaw. If Ashe is used, she also needs the 2 Sniper effect to deal sufficient damage.
In the late game, players need to quickly level up to 8 and add Warwick to the composition. If additional crowd control is needed, units like Garen and Fiddlesticks should be purchased. At this point, LeBlanc will serve as a secondary carry dealing magical damage.
Regarding the choice of Augments, upgrades that enhance the frontline’s durability are highly valuable in this composition. Additionally, augments that provide Admin Emblems or Hearts are also very valuable with this comp as you can save a slot for Camille. Furthermore, upgrades for Warwick or Shen are also very valuable and players should select them whenever possible.
For item choices, the Quicksilver and Runaan’s Hurricane will be very strong items for Warwick. The Giant Slayer will be an extremely good third item providing both tankiness and damage for this unit. Defensive items should be given to Shen in the mid-game.
Conclusion
With a passive that provides so much power, Warwick is currently a carry champion with an excellent ability to “carry the team.” Utilizing a composition centered around Warwick will help players frequently reach the top 4 and climb the ranks very effectively.
