You go razor first because it helps you jungle a LOT faster. Have you tried getting a razor and jungling vs jungling without one? It's certainly a noticeable difference (at least to me). Your goal as a jungler is to control the buffs/dragon early game, if you're not doing that then you're ignoring part of your job description (also another job is to gank of course). Also razor builds in to bloodrazor which is a perfect synergy for his ult. Longsword + pot is another way to start off since longsword also builds into razor. Only problem is you have only 1 pot so you have less margin of error (but you do jungle a bit faster). | ||

 would been nice to a) not have a terrible matchup and b) have my chance to ditto one of the well respected Panth masters. ah well, next time. that game at least taught me that GA is insane on pantheon. it's clearly a way better investment that banshee's veil on him. | ||

Never open dagger, ever. The reason you go razors first is because your #1 priority as Warwick is to control dragon. That's like your goal in life. It gives your entire team +130 gold and exp every 6 minutes, it's like everyone on your team getting 3/4 a kill. After you've tried to gank with red buff, if you see an opening you should always try for dragon, and the razors let you do it at level 4 (usually I do it at 5 after getting the other buffs). Phage is nice but you should have red buff when you go for kills early. Madred's Razors give you damage and bonus to creeps which is pretty significant for jungling, even if you might not realize it. Sometimes you'll 2-shot the regular golems or hit for 1500 in 3 hits on the buffs. It also builds into Bloodrazor, which is pretty much what I rush. My second fountain trip is usually for two Recurve Bows or a Bloodrazor, depending on team comp and what I expect. Wit's End is surprisingly good on Warwick, it gives you about as much damage as a BF Sword and it adds attackspeed and mana burn. If I see a squishy caster-heavy team I get that before Bloodrazor, if they're tanky or stacking armor I grab Bloodrazor first (and Mallet instead of Wit's End sometime after). Those and Frozen Mallet are the only three damage items you should ever consider getting on Warwick. Everything else should be survivability. | ||

I just saw a Blitzcrank 2v1 a lane and open Tiamat. He raped, it seems like a really good build. I read somewhere that Tiamat is actually like one of the most cost-efficient damage items in the game. Any thoughts on this? | ||

Even just the damage is quite cost-effective and the regen/splash is a nice perk. The problem with tiamat is that it doesn't build into any core lategame damage item and becomes wasted gold past the 30-35 minute mark. In theory the splash should let you farm faster to lessen the deficit but that doesn't seem to be the case. | ||

I can see why Riot is nerfing him because I literally feel unstoppable when late game comes around. I've had mixed success with soloing baron. Can anybody tell me the minimum item comp I need to take him down? Should I wait to get Starks or should I build my Guardian angel earlier. I guess none of it matters since they are nerfing him next patch but I really enjoy playing super-imba Shaco. | ||

their heimer was pro. coupled with an improved fortify and a teemo who placed really push-stopping mushrooms, we were up 20 kills nearly the whole game but never had a chance to end it until we aced them twice in a row at the 45 and 50 minute mark O_o also i've only seen 0/0/x where x is anything of significance one time and that was on a soraka who went like 0/0/21 those stat lines are always worth a laugh. he was trying so hard to ks ANYTHING by the end, it was hilarious | ||
