And in this thread, i said morg is okay but you got safer options, is that troll?
Cons:
Bad BAD lane, they will try to harras, they will try to zone, just need to wether the storm with careful positioning and good warding, it's very possible unless the enemy can perfect play against you, which isnt easy.
How do you stop them from harassing? Are you going to run at their face and auto them?
Warding: he cant get as "classic" support becuase he needs to rush items.
If he's not good with low items why would you pick Warwick?
Peel: can only use ultimate+botrk active, granted combined with the as buff for the adc its not bad, but it's the only peel
How are you getting bork if you have the aforementioned terrible laning phase? You have to be 6 to do anything and sona still does that thing better. Not to mention Annie or Leona or Thresh.
Ultimate: Has so many uses that benefit your team!. Initiate[either primary or secondary], catch tower divers or players who misstep thier position[either into tower range or in the open], in ganks, in 2v2, for peels...it has great uses for support, does pretty good damage with items and has short cooldown.
Again, there's a reason strong supports are strong. They get free tank stats or use ranged abilities. Compare ali/leona tanking ability to support warwick who apparently rushes bork. Compare thresh q, annie stun, sona crescendo to warwick I'm getting in melee range and can get interrupted out of my cc ability.
Ganks: Once you are level 6 it's hunting season, fast ganks mid for ulti+ignite+free mid skillshots or ganks at your own lane with jungle help. Big damage and hard to escpe from, can gank better than most[all?] other supports because of the e speed.
How can warwick gank better than any other support I've already mentioned? If you have E on they know you're coming. Tell me you're more scared when you get a big sign over your head announcing "Warwick's near" than when thresh flash death sentence + flays you. Hell add the box on top since you're using Warwick's ult also.

Come on now. Let's be sensible here. Starting a discussion by calling names when you're spouting some very questionable ideas won't help anyone.
You made the case for Warwick support sucking by yourself.

Warwick: has a 1.5 second suppress on one target, is useless in lane, won't be able to get tanky due to lack of items, won't do any damage, has a small amount of utility
Sona: has a 1.5 second stun that can hit multiple targets, has good poke, a heal, a speed boost/slow, and can be strong in lane
???

i really hate the fact that 2 plat 3's and a plat 2 and a plat 1 are all above me in this game in pick order. new system is such bs
|
Warwick is 1.8 seconds suppression by the way. But during that time he is basically CC'ed himself.
That being said, Warwick is a poor support. You can't do anything before 6, and even if you are 6 your R can be interrupted (which btw can be done by ANY support in the game); his lane sustain sucks and needs a lot of mana; his W only provides half attack speed for other champions.
He is even worse than some of the Gambit supports that got played in the LCS.

Hello Sarah Bryant,
Are you PrinceXizor's smurf? Because if not, you might suffer from the same mental illness that plagued that guy. The one that eliminates all rationality from a person's train of thought.
I kindly suggest you check into the mental hospital that is called Reddit and become a permanent resident there.
Sincerely,
Your Primary Care Physician

It's really fucking fast, you can dodge it if you've got a repositioning skill and are on top of it, but just walking out of the aoe is I don't think very doable.

I haven't played ranked since the changes, but based on my understanding, I can see this being a good change.
I rarely duo ranked, but when I do I always duo with people with lower MMR than me - so I would always first pick. It's kind of awkward because I like to play mid and I would always get counterpicked really hard every single game.

Hello Talack,
Riot firmly believes that by randomizing the picks will decrease the amount of hatred demonstrated by higher picks towards lower picks during champion select. More often than not, you will hear "You are last pick. You are shit. Fuck you go back to Copper". By randomizing this, you do not have the luxury of knowing who is necessarily at a higher MMR and are thus unable to brutally attack your teammates during champion select.
This is part of Riot's plan to have MMR unviewable to the public and hide behind the points system.
Best Regards,
Not Riot Staff

Despite your sarcastic tone I just want to say that your MMR compared to your teammates is useless, because the actual difference is extremely small.

Hello Sufficiency,
Instead of making fun of people at Reddit for posting ridiculous nonsense, perhaps you should take a look at your own posts from time to time.

Come on now. Let's be sensible here. Starting a discussion by calling names when you're spouting some very questionable ideas won't help anyone. You made the case for Warwick support sucking by yourself.
It's not related to my opinion on warwick support...he saw my ww post back then, decided by himself that it's troll. Now he saw my unrelated morgana post on this thread, and said for NO REASON "oh she's a troll dont listen to anything she says". That's just mean.
On regard to my ww support idea, you can say it's questionable, you can say it's downright awful, it's your opinion and i respect that, but my idea is in no way shape or form troll. i thought about it, ran games with it, and presented it for others to think, debate, and enjoy trying, not as an attempt to troll anyone.
Now as to the points you raise:
Note i say in the post that he's not a top tier and shouldnt be picked versus the top support players and champs if you plan to rush lcs. lane can range from fine to very hard depending on the comps and quality of players you face. You yourself can take harras easy and your adc needs to be on his toes, you will need to outplay.
His ganks are better becuase thresh for instance is much slower, you can just turn off e before you're in range and activate it again, but if the mid is low enough you can get them.
And for the benefits, i listed them on my article, as buff, vision, good damage, low cd nice ulti, etc.

Dear Sufficiency,
There can be much variance in MMRs when duo queues exist.

Dear Sarah Bryant,
Your beloved wolf provides absolutely zero crowd control abilities until level 6, and is useless before that as well due to his limited range on his Q. He is liable to get ganked super easily because he has no way to stop anything and gets poked down due to his inability to actually do anything in lane.
If you were to play support wolf, then your AD carry might as well be playing a 1v2 lane. Good luck.
Best Regards,
Your friendly Oceanic island neighbor

Yeah WW is free this week and I played him quite a bit on my smurf (because I got no top laners on that account and Darius sucks balls). The more I play him the more I feel he is just one mana cost buff on Q away from being fotm. His laning phase is already decent (if they reduce his Q's mana cost....) and his R is absolutely retarded. In a teamfight, his Q does decent damage and when his E kicks in he is unstoppable.
Definitely not good as support though - he needs items to build his tanky stats. Top lane is where he belongs.

As i stated, he has BAD lane phase which makes him pretty much non option versus the top players of the game. But with good, careful play[good warding, not eating too much harras] it's easily survivable on all skills levels but the very top.

This depends on what you call by "variance".
I recall back in S2, duo'ing with someone with large elo difference (300+) sucks pretty bad, because you gain very little elo from winning and a lot by losing. No one knows exactly how Riot's MMR works, but it is safe to assume it is quite similar to how elo works. Therefore, large difference in MMR is already punished by the system and from what I can tell they are fairly rare.
For the most part the difference in MMR is very small.
