    Honestly, Vlad is a little OP.

    Here's why really

    1)Completely free harass

    Like all energy characters, Cho, Mord, long AA ranged carries, etc, etc.

    Cho'Gath uses mana.

    The only problem with that? Jungling doesn't win games.

    Yes it does, are you joking.

    No, I am not.

    I was speaking quite literally. Jungling alone does not directly lead to a end-game condition. That's what destroying the nexus is for.

    And I'll rephrase myself - Warwick is not awful but he's certainly on the extreme end of the spectrum as far as end-game team players go. Let's see, he has

    one ability that drains health on a single target (mediocre)
    one ability that increases allies attack speed within a small radius (GREAT)
    one ability that increases move speed when a champion is below half health within a very large radius (absolutely useless)
    one ability with a three second stun which gives increased lifesteal to warwick (good)

    Only Hunters Call is a really good ability for benefiting your team, and Infinite Duress for keeping a focused target pinned (admittedly this is very helpful for interrupting ults like Nunu's, for example).

    Yes. Jungling is great. But jungling itself doesn't win you games. When your four team members are pushing mid 45 minutes in, you're not grabbing the golem buff on your own. You're up there with them.

    Warwick has no CC and no escape tactics; when he's caught it's pretty much game over. As someone mentioned before, he's easily, easily countered with stuns. His only unique assets are his fast and safe jungling and his ability to gank and chase stragglers down.

    I don't think you are grasping the concept of jungling, a team with a jungler against a team without a jungler has a big advantage

    No, I grasp that just fine. But you aren't jungling in the end-game (with rare exceptions like the dragon when given the chance)...you have to run around with your team, right? You're certainly no good not helping your team, making team fights 4v5. I'm saying that in team fights, Warwick really doesn't do much to turn the tide. And in the end, it's those crucial teamfights which determine who loses their nexus.

    Its like you are saying jungling doesn't help your time while at the same time you get that it does and that your point is that Warwick doesn't provide anything in team fights which I find ridiculous. I'm gonna leave the other part alone and go to Warwick.

    How does he not turn the tide? He is an incredible initiator, Infinite Duress a carry and your whole team helps decimate, just turned it into a 4v5 and gave your team an attack speed buff. Warwick also just does a lot of damage and is hard to kill with the right build

    Taric against a Warwick in team games is GREAT

    This Warwick kept trying to ult my teammate, as soon as he did, I stunned him out of it. Stopped his 3 gank attempts. I bet he was mad every darn time. Then we just whooped his butt afterwards.

    Tried to gank Ryze. STUN. Ryze ults and I shatter him and he dies

    Tried to gank Fortune during a team fight. STUN. Then our team melts him

    I also LOVE seeing Warwick on the enemy team if I'm playing Jungle Rammus. I can powerball or taunt you out of your stun AND force you to kill yourself on me!

    Oh wait, "underpowered", not "even more overpowered than she is now".

    You will get much, much better at the game if you play them all, too.

    Like, lots much.

    Knowing exactly how each hero works helps tremendously. It's one thing to see a good so and so kick butt, possibly your butt, but it's another entirely to play him and start trying to hate so and other to death because they're doing this thing that makes your life hell.

    Another Taric super moment from me yesterday!!!

    It was end game, we were powering in their base at the bottom, at their bottom inhibitor. I was top going in all alone. Out comes Vlad (who is their carry), try to stop me from coming in.

    WRONG MOVE BUDDY!

    I see him, go to the middle of the base to help my team, finally Vlad realizes that and tries to join in the team fight.

    STUN NUMBER 1!! "Oh no, I cant get to my team!!"

    STUN NUMBER 2!! Oh no, I AM ALMOST THERE, BUT GOT STUNNED AND NOW WE LOSE!!"

    By that time his team was dead and then we focused him.

    Go go Taric!!

    GEMS ARE FABULOUS!

    Whilst I love using them, stuns/taunts/anything that stops you from attacking freely is so evil early game.

    I remember once I had a game with Rammus(me), Galio, Sion, Taric, and a MF.

    So many lulz were had during team fights .. 'taunt, stun, stun, mass taunt, mf ult, gg'

    Maybe I am just a poor Warwick.

    The point is that in team fights he is easily, easily dispatched (edit: by a team that knows what they're doing). I'm not saying that Warwick needs to be buffed, I'm just saying that I don't understand what it is about him that needs to be nerfed. If he's too good a jungler (as some people have claimed), are we going to nerf his lifesteal? Is he too good a ganker; are we going to nerf his Blood Scent? I just don't quite get what about him is overpowered.

    If the enemy team focuses Warwick, they're not focusing the carry. And seeing as the carry should be killing them right about then, that's great! Although he may be a very silly Warwick if he's not built to take it and puts himself in that position anyway.

    But really, Warwick has the ability to intercept and hold heroes that are out of position or unaware. That's his thing. It's devastating if applied properly. A warded jungle is all it takes for a team to happily toddle along after their furry friend to turn the potential 5v5 into a 5v4, and proceed to roll down a lane and murder everything to death.

    Warwick is love!

    And hate.

    Mostly love though.

    Possibly the creepy sort of love.

    In theory she is great. But then someone on the enemy team gets an Oracles and they blow her up every time she tries to walk up to someone and hurt them.

    Rock. Bottom.

    But she can perform quite well. Expect to be blamed for everything even if you're counter jungling like a boss and constantly killing squishies like it ain't no thang, mind.
