Warwick version changed - Global W discussion

Hello summoners,
Last week I was enjoying the version of warwick we had, which was the version between V1.0.0.75 and V1.0.0.83. I figured they picked this WW version for a reason, and I personally haven't seen any word on why they 180'd it so quick.

This featured Warwick W having a global effect, granting attack speed to all allies - and in turn granting you assists and gold, as long as you were timing your w's vaguely correctly. Now.... I can see why this might be a tad... very OP, but I was really enjoying the different gameplay, and I think classic should embrace these wacky versions of characters, until they get voted to be changed.

I was playing warwick top and constantly checking other lanes to see if any kills are about to take place. and then I proceeded to play defensively, buy sword of the occult, leviathan, and mejiahs, stall until I got to 20 stacks(which takes 20 assists), and then went sicko mode. If your team falls behind early, this does kind of suck, and it is definitely a win-more strategy.
I would rather see them atleast try and nerf this version rather than abandon the concept all together, for example, increasing the W mana cost, reducing the duration and effect of the allies attackspeed buff, or even something drastic like making the allies effect have it's own internal cooldown.

I'm going to assume WW "randomly" getting assists kept getting reported as a bug, which prompted the version change(that and it being incredibly strong). I would be curious to hear any rioters take on this topic.

Sincerely, somebody who just bought a leviathan before realizing the version had been changed.

Free for all "friendly units" definition

In a multi-player free for all, the proving grounds rules state you can invite other players to do reactions or actions. An attacking player wanted help, another player played a reaction spell that stated "give 2 friendly units +2 might this turn", buffing the attacking units of another player. We allowed it to be played, but we are wondering for the future if "friendly unit" cards can be played on another players units in the "invite" circumstance.

Playing ADC in Mayhem be like

Probably one of the strongest builds I've gotten in 700 games. Only the Xin could survive the double ult from full HP.
Augments were:
Dark harvest/First Strike
Gold Rend
Ultimate revolution (got this from transmute chaos, other augment was meaningless)
Jeweled Gauntlet
