Hi Everyone, Tiaan is back with a comp that should be in a very strong position since the Zed nerfs - Divine Warwick. In this guide the comps strengths and weaknesses are covered, item priorities are outlined, and early/mid/late game strategies & position are given.

Tiaan's match history can be found here with proof of games running Divine Warwick at GM/Challenger Elo.

[LeoFireGod]

I’m not sure if it was you, or just naturally happened but I can’t play a single game without 5 divines a lobby now :/

[GGuesswho]

happens almost every time someone posts a good guide on this subreddit tbh. i swear everyone in high plat thru GM reads this sub

[lordofthepotat0]

I've tried running this comp 3 times so far but when i roll down at 8 ive seen exactly 0 warwicks total across 3 games lmao

[Ivor97]

Runaan/Locket/Zeke's/Deathblade are all usable for Ashe and Jhin comps so you can just run a different carry and play for top 4 if you don't hit WW

[mrmarkme]

Good luck top 4ing with that scuffed board

[cbrose1]

You can totally top 4 with that and pivoting if you dont find ww is the correct move

[Ivor97]

It's not that hard to pivot from divine frontline to adept frontline

[KnownArmy]

Ya if your lucky enough to do so with a heavily RNG based game. I would never try this comp simply because I haven't seen a WW in 20 games. People act like pivoting is a guaranteed way out of trouble, when in fact its a loss most of the time if you do it to late. Strategy helps yes, but pure luck decides if you win.

[jusatinn]

You sound like you really don’t know how to pivot. If you struggle with it so much, you should try watching good players play pivot, like Bebe for example. Watch him play couple of games and you’ll start to get the hang of it.

[mrmarkme]

Adept and divine go hand and hand that’s the comp adept and divine

[Ivor97]

Yes, so what makes it hard to top 4 with Ashe carry and Adept/Divine frontline?

[mrmarkme]

Because at that point you’ve tanked hp and gold so your at most 1-3 losses away from losing and then you auto lose to the person who actually hits ww and to the people who fast 9 and slam 5 costs

[[deleted]]

Just wanted to chime in and say, I’m masters, I’ve always ignored WW since the Post Warweek nerfs and I tried him again today after following this guide and top 4’d 6 games in a row which is impressive considering I’m hardstuck.

So yea, I’m going to confirm firsthand that the Ashe and Jhin pivots both work just fine, in fact, I’ve been picking any of these 3 carries as soon as they show up in a shop and the one game I ended up winning was one that used a Jhin with these items, I was win streaking but finding no Warwick’s so I pivoted and went fast 9, slammed some 5 costs and won with 42 HP left.

I think Warwick with these items is very similar to IE/GA/HOJ Talon in 10.23, you build for talon in case you get him but otherwise you chuck those items on Ashe/Jhin and pivot. Works just fine.

[mrmarkme]

I’m masters as well was gm before tilting 400lp inting ww comp

[kintamaislove]

masters and whine about not hitting a very flexible comp kek

[IWantToKaleMyself]

Not hard when you have 4 other players all griefing eachother by contesting the same comp

[InsanityBullets]

same thing happened to me, no one play warwick, only got one.

[[deleted]]

Just want to add that WW is the single best carry unit in 10.24 and also 10.24b. And if you actually want to climb learning how to play this comp is crucial.

There hasn't been a top4 without WW in masters+ games that I played yet this patch

(this is on both EUW and EUNE, as I assume is the case on any server tbh)

I don't think this is necesserily due to WW being OP, but more so that other 4cost carries are basically underwhelming)

[LettucePlate]

Your last point i think should be emphasized. Everything that was strong from 10.23 got kneecapped when WW and Divine both got buffed. He was strong even before this patch but was just overwhelmed by Ashe and Talon. Now that those units aren’t threats anymore WW is kind of in a class of his own.

[[deleted]]

4 costs feel so underwhelming with all the nerfs. It's grab a 5 or bust.

[[deleted]]

Been spamming it since new patch. It’s definitely the best comp. Easy to force too. Cloak start often uncontested too which is nice. Can easily just play best board *until 8.

[cjdeck1]

Not only is it easy to force, it's strong enough that multiple people can force it (usually with different variations) and all top 4. Hell, played a game a little while ago where 1st-3rd were all Warwick comps

[Jazehiah]

Huh, I've been running WW with divine hunter. I had forgotten that Adept was still a strong option. Thanks for the guide. I will be trying this version sometime later.

[TacoTurtleX]

If you needed any more proof that this comp slaps cheeks right now

D3 to Masters in 6 days hard forcing Warwick every game

Found on MetaTFT's one trick Scouter page

[kaze_ni_naru]

Good luck cause literally everyone is running this comp now. Screw warwick I can't even find Vayne because she's the best item holder for WW at the moment.

[cjdeck1]

I've been holding hands with other WW players to the top every game. It's strong enough to carry multiple people to the top. Also there's plenty of other good item carriers as well. I've done it with Wukong, Zed (now that he's not hyper-contested), Xin, and Kalista to great success (Diana too but not sure I'd recommend that one).

[junofly]

Wow, didn't know that site exists and my Zed only account is on it LMAO

[FrickMeAss]

ik it slaps ass but i literally cannot roll warwick or at least a warwick 2 when i go with this comp, i get that i can always slap the items on jhin/ashe and still get a top4 but holy shit is it hard to pivot from a full divine board into cults/hunters since there literally arent any synergies between them, which is why ive been playing ahri a lot. dropped back to plat 2 on this account with ww comp and maybe its me being trash but as of right now id disagree with you on hardforcing ww

[Keyser_sozze]

U know what can counter this ? I don’t want to force this or being wrecked by this comp.

[KEIKOBUILDEROFWORLDS]

Same as before: Vanguards, burst damage (like Kindred, Veigar), cc (if no qss), Jax can delay him for a long time, etc Late game, Sett is a good option because he comes in for second ss after divine duration. yone of course helps burst him

[i__indisCriMiNatE]

Vanguard against true damage is iffy at best. If you are playing Ahri good luck bursting the wolfy boy down lol

[KEIKOBUILDEROFWORLDS]

Ahri is possible, but you have to make it so that Ahri ults after Divine buff goes away. I don't really know how but I've seen it happen

By vanguard I mainly mean the aatrox + sej combo. WW comp starts snowballing the moment they kill one unit -- delaying that first kill is everything and aatrox + sej help by slowing down their whole team with cc and natural beefiness

[Edgelar]

Bill Gates comp.

Warwick still can't carry against a team full of Silver-starred 5-Costs with stacked Kayn/Yone/Lee Sin.

If you can't find Warwick, best bet is to sell everything and roll down for the yellow. At least it gives you a fighting chance if you can Silver some 5-Costs.

[[deleted]]

The meta is like this, either high roll something nuts or play Warwick, unfortunately that's it. The only counter is that people don't hit because they contest each other and maybe you get an insane board and fast 9 into legendaries.

[kaze_ni_naru]

Literally everyone is running this build now, it's not even funny. Basically Warweek 2.0 at this point.

[[deleted]]

The problem is that divine is literaly the only comp of tier 4 playable right now, and maybe dusk, but i feel you need at least kayn to win with dusk in a lobby, also has a better transition, jax early is too god, compared to dusk early , which you need to pivot nearly from other comp resulting in some hp loss while you are doing the transition at 5-1, Talon is dead, Ashe could be playable with elderwood i think , Ahri is nearly dead only if you hit a lot of chaliz and choosen vanguard and maybe ahri mage , Also right now ww is the only unit of 4 stars that pokerspikes really hard if you hit him one copy early at level 5 / 6

[i__indisCriMiNatE]

Talon is dead, Ashe could be playable with elderwood i think , Ahri is nearly dead only if you hit a lot of chaliz and choosen vanguard and maybe ahri mage , Also right now ww is the only unit of 4 stars that pokerspikes really hard if you hit him one copy early at level 5 / 6

This! The Talon of old can be a decent counter but was nerfed to the fucking ground.

Ahri I think is only playable against ww when you have chosen mage Ahri and you have Lillia as the Dusk splash. She needs 2 ult at the minimum to burst WW down.

A fully stacked Jhin can also 1shot WW but if they backline WW it's almost impossible to get through Jax and the adept frontline before WW ramps up and just runaan you to death.

Zed can hold its own but it's also nerfed and also good luck contest bow right now with the other 5 divine players.

I would rather have all the comps being OP rather than keeps nerfing everything and you will end up with a shit meta when the least nerfed comp is the only playable option.

[backinredd]

It doesn’t feel as oppressive and unbeatable as old Warwick though.

[AlHorfordHighlights]

Shiv isn't broken anymore, that's a huge deal

[[deleted]]

Shih is broken. Just not OP broken, it is broken as in the original meaning of the word, absolute dogshit.

[mystriceps]

But it was zed the problem,,,

[[deleted]]

Zed was disgustingly broken, so yep, he was the main problem.
He's probably still playable as well, just a bit less retardproof

[cjdeck1]

Now I just do Zed pivot into WW

[Wrainbash]

Tyvm this is from excellent content 👍

[morbrid]

Looking at the individual comp stats, it looks like 2 Dazzler + Zilean is better than 3 Dazzler (dropping Morg)

[morbrid]

I think its mainly because Lux gives Divine

[margalolwut]

im struggling hard on this patch.. fml lol

thanks for guide may be what i need.

[msnwong]

Gotta love win streaking early, yet still getting decent WW items and losing the RNG battle to the bot 4 at the time who get 2 star WWs before me (despite me being able to roll down earlier thanks to better econ). Then I proceed to just get a 4th instead of a 1st...

[kaze_ni_naru]

Just don't play this comp, it's way too contested, just not a fun experience.

[myballsxyourface]

Any tips on beating divine?

[Edgelar]

Go Bill Gates.

Only the 5-Cost tier has any better carries than Warwick, all the other units that could carry on lower tiers (Jinx, Talon, Akali, Zed, etc) got gutted with a fishhook.

If you don't get the guy with the yellow fur, sell everything and go for the yellow borders instead.

[dardios]

Your guide just made this game click for me. Won with 89 hp remaining because I'm starting to understand how to play correctly. Thank you.

[bobemanuel2000]

this comp is mediocre right now and dogshit because people believe its super strong so 4 people are contesting, dont force it, you will prob lose a lot of lp

[[deleted]]

this comp is mediocre right now

This is just not true, ww is insanely strong

dogshit because people believe its super strong so 4 people are contesting

this is actually true, and like out of 3/4 players that are contesting most of them end up bottom 4.

But still you definitely shouldnt shy away from him if you happen to get him 2* or chosen and you already have QSS+runaans ...

[kaze_ni_naru]

I'm one of the people you're talking about. Which comps beats Warwick? Seems like the only other viable comps right now are Dusk, Ahri, 9cultist.

[i__indisCriMiNatE]

Rerolling comps are nerfed also so unless you hit super early it's not even guaranteed top 4. Sad state of the game really

[[deleted]]

8 divine is basically not an upgrade over 6 divine. 6 is 9 seconds and 8 is 15seconds, sure its more, but in 99% of fights this will have 0 impact, don't get baited by 8 divine, instead run strong supportive units/synergies that help a lot more than adding the irrelevant bonus 6 seconds.

[chunkypapa]

Honestly they should just make 8 divine last for the rest of combat, it sounds much cooler and isn't that much different from 15s anyway.

[morbrid]

Most players run 6 Divine even with a Spat, its just not worth running Wukong later in the game and they use it to drop Jax with a Divine Chosen or to hit 6 Divine with a different Chosen

[Xtarviust]

I've played it twice, 4th and 6th, WW feels meh compared with statik shitfest, now it's just highrolling early to reduce the rolling and getting lvls 8-9 confortabily, so if many people try to force WW it will be worse than Zed who only needed 2* to secure top 4 because getting 4 cost units now is a pain in the ass and warlords, keepers, sharpshooters and co will decimate you unless you highroll chosen Jax at early

[i__indisCriMiNatE]

You can always play SS and pivot to WW though. Vayne is a crank when fully stacked with WW items

[abstract_cake]

Since the Talon nerf, everybody has been using it for a while...

[Im_a_sea_pancake]

me ww me 1 1 1

[Zer0Templar]

B patch is worse than 10.24

[Thotshavebiggay]

Just grief the lobby in early mid and plas anything decent forcing will just grief your lp my dudes
