Possible New Character Leak? (Wolf)?

Warwick Snacks·Apr 12, 2015·13 votes·4,847 views

Alright, so i was playing a match of Urf with my team, and i had two of my team members on skype. on the losing side of the coin, my buddy who was playing as Nasus was pinged to fall back, but when the ping showed up in the chat, it showed at "Trundle signaled (Wolf) to fall back." grabbed this screenshot of it, and i have a list of people who also saw it in the match. don't know if bug or character leak or what .-. then when we pinged later game, it showed up as (Nasus) instead.

Either it bugged and showed his development name instead of the character's real name (like Wukong has a development name called MonkeyKing I think), or the guy misclicked on the wolf camp or something.

Not sure.

Nasus' development name was Ammon, not wolf, so it couldn't be that. I also don't see how clicking on the wolf camp would screw it up and call the dog "Wolf".

Something's fishy... Fizz

Dunno aye.

It wrote the Nasus player's name before 'wolf' so it couldn't be the camp wolves. Also, if it was a signal for retreat from the camp, it would have been 'fall back from wolf'. Now this is really interesting. Could it really be a new champ?

Not sure.

More likely the first option, because it gave a name and in parenthesis had "wolf." Also, if it were about the wolf camp, then it would say "___ signals to back away from wolves / wolf camp"

I'm wondering if maybe nasus was in his ult, and therefore signaled the change.

That is probably the case, or maybe it's some new/or another random champ's development name that gets accidentally redirected.

That's the thing, as you can see i questioned if it was because his ult in the chat, and then i told him to ult and ping, and it went back to saying (Nasus) so his ult is not the main cause.

This "Wolf" bug has also happened with Sejuani, by the way. It said "playerName has slain the Dragon."

I think that rules out both the wolf camp and "Wolf" as a developer name for the champion that had the bug.

I have to agree.

Some says it's a bug relating to his ulti signalling the name change since the game probably treats normal and ulti Nasus as 2 separate entities, hence they have different development names, while forgetting to correct the name when he is pinged. Maybe this is the case.

GaleWinUnleashedApr 12, 20151 votes

No, I mean this one didn't involve Nasus at all. Sejuani's name was replaced with "Wolf" in the dragon kill announcement. The bug is not related to Nasus in particular.

I didn't view the pic in detail so I didn't notice that.

Then this has to be another champion's dev name that gets accidentally redirected there, be it some new champ or some other older ones.

Maybe it's WW's, who knows.

Nah, I can't find the picture. I was referring to an entirely separate post that I'm having difficulty finding again. If I do manage to find it I'll post that picture in this thread.

NEW CHAMPION

Ping: the Wolf

[P] Power of Ping - when Ping pings on the map, Ping gains a small speed boost when running to said area for 5 seconds. Cool down is 30 seconds. [Q] Warning! - Ping howls loudly to deal deal damage to nearby enemies. [W] Fall Back! - Ping gives himself and his nearby teammates a small boost in speed for 4 seconds. [E] Assist! - Ping gains a small bonus in attack damage for 6 seconds. [R] Mystery - Ping turns himself invisible for 5 seconds. After, he gains 10/20/30 armor and magic resist and 10/20/30% tenacity.

Lore;

It was said that long ago, lights began to flash periodically with no explanation. People were in awe until they saw Ping. Ping, who had been the light support for League of Legends has run away to rebel only to come back as the most powerfully annoying champion of them all.

Fun fact: I'm pretty sure Wukong bot is still named MonkeyKing bot in custom champ select...

It is.

Is it possible he clicked the wolf camp by accident instead?

Not possible. for one, EVERYBODY was in the base defending, for two, Nasus was in the top lane and was signaled to fall back because the enemy was pushing. nowhere near any of the wolf camps. and for 3, It would not show the players name if i was telling them to "Back away" from the murkwolves, it said i "Signaled to fall back"

The murkwolf camp is going to be playable in a future patch.

DarkFaun FortesApr 12, 20152 votes

its possible that Nasus was originally named "Wolf" as Azir was originally named "Seth".

Also A riot Employee is a possible "Dr. Who" fan and put that in their from "BAD WOLF"

Guys, this happens when Lulu polymorphs you. Look it up if you want.

Riot wouldnt name a champion "Wolf" like wtf

SarutobiApr 12, 20151 votes

Did this only happen in one match? Could have just been a big or something. Not enough information on the matter! Would be better to try and duplicate it and have a video of it!

Best Darius KRApr 12, 20151 votes

Interesting Who were the enemy champions btw?

PikmintsApr 12, 20151 votes

I could only see Xerath, Heimerdinger, Ashe, and Lulu. I can't find anything else to find the 5th person on their team.

AbyssionKnightApr 12, 20151 votes

When you tried later in the game did you try it as normal nasus, or nasus while using his ult?

Just curious, since even in your screenshot Sivir suggested that might be the reason.

I was sivir 0-o and we tried it in both ways and we could not replicate these results.

If you b ping small wolves on wolf camp it says Wolf.

Grand MedicApr 12, 20152 votes

Yeah, but would it give a player name and go TheMedicalMan (Wolf)?

Grouchy PoroApr 12, 20151 votes

Heimerdinger Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, very interesting.

disembodiedsoulApr 12, 20151 votes

I highly doubt this points to the next champion. There's already enough wolf like champions. I mean Warwick is like full on wolf. It just would be very unwise for them to make yet another wolf like champion.

I think this was just a simple error. I've been noticing sometimes the champions name in parentheses would be blank in U.R.F., so I'm sure the two are related.

SolaxoApr 12, 20151 votes

This is not a leak lol. And they wouldn't release another wolf champion

DarkFaun FortesApr 12, 20152 votes

I WANNA NOUTHER WOLF U MEEENIE!

Warwick SnacksApr 12, 20151 votes

Thanks for all the comments guys, but so far nothing has been disproven or proven of what this could actually be. Maybe Riot is just trying to hint at something.
