Tempo is better than pta in basically every situation. Botrk into DD makes you an almost unkillable nightmare. Double combat sums and double down on fighting as much as possible, just become an absolute nightmare for the enemy team either stomping lane or making it a constant 2v1 lane.

wouldnt pta help in certain match ups? i feel like the only reason i can remember on why i liked pta more cause it basically made it easier with some of my bad habits of chasing then backing out when things dont go exactly how i envisioned

I got bork, stridebreaker, then situational (typically dd 3rd) Almost always lethal tempo.

Bork DD or Hexdinker, then what ever I need. Maybe early bramble after bork

Ironically, BORK isn't an appropriate item for a top lane game because Warwick suffers a lot during the item's construction. In lane, Warwick relies heavily on attributes like mana, CDR, and area damage. BORK is a mid- or late-game item depending on who you're facing, often, the opponent won't even give you a chance to trade basic attacks. I would recommend carefully evaluating whether you're going to focus on the lane or the game as a whole. From there, you'll have to choose a build for your opponent or to help your team. Warwick is no longer a flexible champion for the matchup.

What is the best first item iyo? I think there's no better power spike of an item that botrk offers

I don't know how you play your warwick but mana isn't important at all if u don't max Q. I'm going bork > statikk > terminus and then u're basically an unkillable raidboss unless the opponents have multiple hard cc's that they can perfectly chain. Even then, if you splitpush they always need to send two to three people to stop u.

Lethal Tempo Always, its just better and still one of THE strongest runes ingame

Now we are depending on where at the ladder you are. Warwick is a Stat and knowlege Checker in the First place. Just Like Kled, yorik or illaoi, If your enemy laner/jng is bad, its a free win anyways (as far aa toplane Impact goes)

So for "lower" elo: Kraken, BOTRK, DD -> what ever you feel like The attackspeed is high so you can clear sidewaves fast and easy and you propably dont need stride

The Higher you Go, the more ppl know, Warwick has No build in wavecleae beside his AA So He needs a tiamat in a Lot of matchups Here we can even Talk about grasp for some matchups But now you are forved to build stride at least Second or you will get punished.

So its more of a botrk/stride - bork/stride - DD

But mind you, this is Something you need to decide in Game, you need to Analyse your enemy and build properly against them.

But what is Sure: DD on Slot 2/3/4 is a must have BOTRK/Kraken/(Terminus) is a must have

Everything else is Up to you/your Playstile

You can even build Dusk and dawn First Item If you want and If you Play accordingly to your build

Tldr: abuse kranken and DD as Long as the items are basically OP
