How to play it

Dodge his E fear
When his Primal Howl (E) shield goes up, move out of range before it releases the fear: use Q to a minion to escape it if you can.
Out-trade from 3
From level 3 you out-trade him in a straight fight: commit when you have passive stacks and his E and R are on cooldown.
Don't grind trades
He out-sustains you easily, so respect his passive healing: don't drag out long trades you can't finish, burst him instead.
Never sit in a prolonged trade: Warwick out-sustains you, so if you can't burst him you just feed his passive healing.
