 Warwick Champion Update Changes

Warwick's large scope champion update continues PBE testing in the 7.2 PBE cycle and today's update includes many non-English VOs and small tweaks to two of Warwick's update skins:

Several non-English Warwick voiceovers added:

Feral Warwick's W active's model swap changes to yellow from red. Grey Warwick Wactive model swap changed to light blue instead of red - look for recolored VFX for these two skins to hit the PBE soon!

  • [WARWICK SKIN CHANGES] - Reav3 noted on reddit the updated Feral Warwick and Grey Warwick skins will have additional recolored VFX on the PBE later this week. As previously mentioned, Tundra Hunter Warwick and Hyena WW also have additional vfx changes hitting the PBE soon.
"FYI: The Warwick texture changes on Feral and Grey will be accompanied by additional recolored VFX for both those skins later this week."
