Tips Against Warwick in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

MiniBlue says “He can win you in duels easily but in team fights you are more useful than Warwick, don't forget to buy anti heal.”
MiniBlue says “Pierdes en duelo pero en peleas de equipo destacaras más que Warwick, no olvides comprar corta curas.”
Paladin3200 says “not a big deal he is just to fast and ganks a lot Warwick is usually faster than Udyr in every aspect, but at least he doesn't usually steal your jungle, but he ganks too much, so prioritize Deadly Reminder instead of Dominik's. ”
Sir_PIzza says “Not hard, however if he gets fed is a demon that needs to be taken down, if Warwick gets fed don't try taking 1v1s always have numbers advantage”

thermaI says “You can defeat him early with assistance from other lanes. Rooting and pushing him with your Q forces him to disengage. If he hunts you while you're low, you can Q him under tower and give yourself lifeline+revive with your W.”
[S16] Renata Jungle Guide by thermaI | Renata Glasc Player
ludenbergangel says “Whoever gets ahead wins. Preferably W only after he Es or he will waste a good part of your frenzy with it. If he Es and goes on you, you can E him into a wall. Antiheal is nice”
Camaieu says “"Unstoppable" His held Q dash isnt affected either”
Oikaton says “Tanky sustain + ult, rush lethality to burst before he heals up”
Amoria1 says “Any strong early game brawlers/predator junglers can out 1v1 you without much worry”

EddeEken says “His early sustain and fear can ruin your duels — wait out his early pressure and punish once you have items”

Tips Against Warwick in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

PokeRoyal2007 says “I personally don´t find him that much of a threat, but if he´s good, you have no chance of beating him. Him being low hp doesn´t matter, he will just Q and instaheal 300 hp.”
Meta Irelia Top Guide by PokeRoyal2007 | Irelia Player
TENSION019 says “Grasp, Doran Shield, Ghost and Ignite. Even though Warwick is insanely strong in 1v1s, he completely falls apart in 1v2s. Respect him early and play with kiting in mind. If you drag things out and fight smart, he turns from a scary wolf into a very confused puppy”
The River King by TENSION019 | Tahm Kench Player
zwartebliksem says “Flash + Ignite Warwick is very strong in lane and really wants to exploit this strength. We should definitely respect that, since he can easily out trade us. Rush any anti-heal item and look for short trades when any of his abilities are down. If you're dismounted, don't stay, he can ult you from (what it feels like) across the map. As long as you have your anti-heal item, you can easily out trade him and kill him unexpectedly.”
The Holy Scripts of Kled Toplane by zwartebliksem | Kled Player
TemoOnlyIfOK says “Frequency: 3/10 Annoyance: 0/10 Difficulty: 1/10 Summs: FLASH TP Runes: DAMAGE O2: RUSH Strat: This is your lane basically all the time. Great for padding the damage chart. Rush O2 into NASHORS asap. Take COUP DE GRACE as he will be below 50% HP most of the time Q him if he tries to sustain on minions while really low. Only difficulty is not being baaited into a dive, so look if he has barrier. Careful with your FLASH when he has Q up, as he can travel with you.”

Inting Briar says “He will chomp you down. E if he ults you. If he is your matchup on lane. Try to cheese before level 6.”
Briar Top Guide (December 2025 Patch 25.24) by Inting Briar | Briar Player
asuratop1 says “Ritmo fatal + Ignite + Doran Shield A lane deveria ser fácil, mas o fato do Warwick ter barreira dificulta um pouco, abuse do fato do ignite ter um cooldown menor que a barreira para criar intervalo de plays em que o warwick vai ter desvantagem de spells, faça Rush Carrasco > Trinity e abuse da sua side-lane contra o Warwick. Build: Carrasco > Trinity > Quebrapassos > Mercury > Céu Dividido/Shojin Obs: Se sentir extrema dificuldade, faça Hexdrinker > Trindade > Carrasco > Mandibula > Mercury > Céu Dividido É impossivel perder a side pro Warwick com essa build no spyke de 3 itens. (Tendo Ritmo Fatal)”
zwartebliksem says “You can't ever really kill a Warwick, since he can always out-sustain you. He will not be able to kill you until he has Blade of the Ruined King. Look for early anti-heal so you can actually trade, then ask junglers for a gank.”
[25.20] Glory in Death - Sion Guide by zwartebliksem | Sion Player
forsakn says “ Levels 1–5: Warwick’s early trades with Q (Jaws of the Beast) + autos are strong. His passive healing and E (Primal Howl) fear make short trades tricky. Avoid overcommitting and be careful near minions. Wave control: Let him push. Freeze near tower to reduce all-in threat and stay safe. Trading: Short trades with Auto + E poke work best. If he tries to all-in with full combo, kite backwards and use Q + W to poke from range. Post-6: His R (Infinite Duress) suppresses and deals massive damage. Maintain spacing and avoid fighting alone. Summoner Spells: Flash + Teleport is standard. Ignite can help if he all-ins aggressively. Scaling: You outscale Warwick mid-late game. Once you hit level 11 with core items, your sustained damage and kiting surpass his early dueling and sustain, letting you trade safely and pressure objectives. Warwick top hits hard early with dueling and sustain. Respect his Q + E + R, stay patient, and by midgame your range and consistent damage put you in control.”
Hoikatop says “Annoying cheese pick matchup. Just don't focus on trading with him other than to use it as a way to access the creep wave. Focus on farming and proxying because you will NEVER beat him 1v1. He has too much healing and will easily turn the fight with barrier or ult. He can cancel your fling by holding his Q, so just save it until afterwards to disengage him. Never start a trade with fling or he will just kill you from 100-0. Warwick needs to bait you into fighting him for him to get ahead gold-wise so just don't fight him other than to push waves. He can chase you with his W, so Rylais is a decent 1st item, or Liandry's if your team is winning. I cannot stress enough how much you should just not fight warwick 1v1, it is never worth it. Just scale up for 5v5 where you outperform him. His splitpushing isn't amazing either.”

Auxarcmod says “You probably wont be able to kill, Poke him down when he goes for minions, he usually goes bork so respect that first item power spike. WW top also usually go's barrier instead of tp. So make sure to punish his wave state. He falls off late game. Thornmail is an ok 1st or 2nd item.”
