the Uncaged Wrath of Zaun
Patch 26.20 · Stats from the 26.18 Master+ sample (1,229 games).
Warwick, the Uncaged Wrath of Zaun, speeds toward enemies below half health through Blood Hunt, and Infinite Duress leaps onto a champion and suppresses them. In the Master+ count he was more of a top laner than a jungler, almost always on Lethal Tempo, building AD from Titanic Hydra or Kraken Slayer. Jayce and Camille were his hardest pairs, both on small samples.

Avoid extended fights — its sustain grows with every trade it survives
Build percentage damage — flat penetration falls off against the stats it stacks
Punish the cooldown — Warwick is exposed while its rotation is down
Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one
Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 3/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average

Riot's notes from patch 25.S1.1 to 26.20 change Warwick in 4 patches. The latest is patch 26.9, published 2026-04-28.
P - Eternal Hunger
Our favorite wolf-boy Warwick has been struggling to find his place over game time. We are looking to soften the blow of his transition into the late game by bringing up some of his scaling.
Base Stats
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.
Base Stats
PEternal Hunger
Warwick’s easy to pick up and play which is reflected in his moderately high win rate typical of an approachable jungler. However, in top lane, he’s too strong, which can lead to very frustrating experiences where he either can be killed by an all-in or simply sustains back up out of reach. We’re shifting some power from his early game passive into his base attack damage in order to weaken his early game resourceless healing, while leaving his damage and Q healing intact, or even buffed in some cases. We intend for these changes to be neutral for Warwick jungle but power negative for top lane.
QJaws of the Beast
Warwick's actually doing just fine in the jungle, but his power in top lane is, well, over the top. We're looking to offset this difference by hitting his Q here since he maxes it first when playing top but second when in the jungle.
Riot's data lists 17 looks for Warwick with their own art, the base skin included and 44 chroma variants.

Riot Data Dragon 16.20.1. Growth curve: League of Legends Wiki — Champion statistic.
Warwick, the Uncaged Wrath of Zaun, is a Fighter and Tank champion in League of Legends. Riot rates the kit 3/10 for difficulty, 9/10 for attack, 5/10 for defense and 3/10 for magic. Warwick spends Mana and has 17 skins with their own art.
Warwick is a monster who hunts the gray alleys of Zaun. Transformed by agonizing experiments, his body is fused with an intricate system of chambers and pumps, machinery filling his veins with alchemical rage. He bursts from the shadows to prey upon those criminals who terrorize the city's depths. Warwick is drawn to blood, driven mad by its scent… and none who spill it can escape him.
