Warwick beats you 1-3: Jaws of the Beast (Q) heals him for a large share of the damage, his passive lifesteal ramps as you drop, and Primal Howl (W) lets him run you down. Any drawn-out trade snowballs his sustain past your Meditate, so keep exchanges short or skip them, farm at range, and don't feed his healing.
