Warwick out-sustains you from level 1 — his passive Eternal Hunger and Q Jaws of the Beast heal keeps him topped through your poke, so his early trades come out ahead. Don't try to win short exchanges; farm with Q Transfusion and keep your distance. His W Blood Hunt lets him sprint at you when you're low, so never drop below half without an escape. Ward for his ganks; he roams with W speed.
