Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1WarwickWarwick's Q heal and passive regen outpace your Poison Trail damage before you have AP — concede early CS pressure and set up the proxy game instead.
Level 2WarwickHis Blood Hunt move speed lets him stick on you at level 2 before Mega Adhesive is online — only Fling if he is already in your cloud and committed.
Level 3Even / skillMega Adhesive root plus Fling gives you the full combo to punish a diving Warwick, and his Q drain can't out-heal the combined poison tick once all three abilities are active.
Levels 4-5SingedProxy time: Warwick has no teleport-style gap-close to stop you farming behind his wave, and his Blood Hunt passive only activates meaningfully when you're below 50% HP — Insanity Potion denies that threshold.
Level 6SingedInsanity Potion move speed and health regen mean you run faster than Blood Hunt closes and heal faster than his Q drains — he cannot stick on you or all-in you without his R.
First itemSingedRylai's Crystal Scepter makes your Poison Trail a permanent slow field — Warwick's Blood Hunt sprint cannot escape it, and every second he spends chasing you he is taking damage he cannot Q-heal fast enough.
Two+ itemsSingedTwo-item Singed with Liandry's burning through a Rylai's-slowed Warwick is a damage-per-second race he loses — his R cooldown is long enough that you can run the pattern multiple times per base cycle.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Warwick out-sustains you at levels 1-2 — his Q heal and passive regen eat your Poison Trail damage faster than it accumulates, so don't run into him hoping for a war of attrition. Last-hit from trail range and refuse his face-fights. The moment Fling comes online at level 2, you have a deterrent: if he steps forward to Q you, you can Fling him backward and lap him in poison on the retreat, but don't commit to a full trade while his Q is up and your trail hasn't chunked him first.
