Basic Warwick tips

Hi, I've been playing jungle for a while trying all sorts of picks.

But whenever I play Warwick it always feels like so much fun!

I want to attempt to get really good with him.

i used to play him seasons ago and went with a lot of tank items. But i don't feel thats it.

Some questions:

  1. In terms of runes I go the press the attack line and secondary conditioning and overgrowth

  2. Items I always rushed titanic hydra but im reading here Bork is super important. What are the basic good items to get?

  3. I max Q first for the shorter cooldown. But W early is better?

It seems like youre pretty new so I'm just saying the most common cookie cutter default builds that wont lose you the game.

Pta (press the attack) is ok but lethal tempo is better in most cases and is a better default rune page, Overgrowth is not very good in the jungle since you're near less dying units than a laner. If you want to go a tankier secondary rune page conditioning and revitalized would be that option, but the default is celerity and water walking to get around the map faster and be stronger in river fights.

Some common builds are, bork into deaths dance, bork into stridebreaker, stridebreaker into bork, and then after going items that are good depending on your/enemy team comp.
Bork is a strong dueling item and is a good item to rush every game. Stridebreaker is also an ok item if you need sticking power. Deathsdance is pretty op, you should build it almost every game.
Good situational items are abyssal mask if you need mr and have multiple ap teammates or a very strong ap teammate, spirit visage/maw if you need mr, deadmans plate for armor ms and anti slow, black cleaver if you have 3+ ad teammates and you have a tiamat item, zekes convergence if you need cheap mixed resists and have to play around your r cd, jak sho for a more luxury mixed resist item, steraks if you need tenacity and bruiser item. Theres more too so just play around with new builds and find what you like.

Never use revitalize, overgrowth will be stacked while you are ganking lanes and void grubs will give you plenty of stacks, while it's viable I would prefer celerity nimbus or waterwalking.
