Statistical Matchup Analysis

Warwick dominates the meta (19th most popular, 4.2% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Nunu & Willump (2.4% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of jungle's current powerhouses. Meta strength confirmed: Warwick's superior tier rating (S vs B+) translates into a solid 54.1% matchup win rate. This performance explains why Warwick ranks 3rd in win rate among Jungle champions. Warwick shows excellent consistency, combining a strong 52.5% overall win rate with matchup success. Amplify your advantage: The Lethal Tempo + Triumph rune setup achieves 72.7% win rate (4.8% popularity), while the core build Stridebreaker > Blade of The Ruined King > Sterak's Gage with Plated Steelcaps (63.1% win rate) lets you snowball advantages into guaranteed victories by 15 minutes.

Win through macro: Warwick takes the matchup (54.13%) despite falling behind in CS (5.19 vs 5.82/min). Your victories come through roaming, team fighting, and map pressure rather than 1v1 lane dominance. Complete superiority: Warwick dominates both win rate (54.1%) and damage output (631 vs 611/min, 2nd among Jungle). The 20 damage/min difference creates massive snowball potential. Intriguing anomaly: Warwick wins the matchup (54.1%) despite a lower KDA (2.40 vs 2.70). This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.

Warwick tips:

  • Follow your Blood Hunt trails to low health enemy champions.
  • Infinite Duress (R)'s distance scales with any Move Speed you gain, even from ally buffs and summoner spells.
  • Jaws of the Beast (Q) will follow enemies who run, dash or teleport if you keep the button held down.

Playing Against Nunu & Willump

  • Interrupting the charge up on Absolute Zero will lower the amount of damage your team takes.
  • Using Summoner Flash is a surefire way to escape Absolute Zero.
  • Biggest Snowball Ever moves very fast but cannot turn as quickly, so don't try to escape it by running away in a straight line. Instead, make sudden, sharp turns.
