Does/should runic affinity mastery affect wolf spirit and skuttle crab?

Was wondering if the wolf camp and skuttle crab are affected by the runic affinity mastery and whether people think its length should affected by the mastery. IMO I think it should to help make it more distinct from the biscuit and assassin mastery.

Runic Affinity does not affect Wolf Spirit or the Scuttle zone and that's intended since they're map based effects rather than personal buffs. It does affect the revised Rift Herald buff though, giving an extra 3 minutes on that which might occasionally be pretty meaningful.

Here is what u can do, time the wolf spirit/scuttle twice, once with the mastery once without.

As far as im aware, no they do not.

The reasoning going that those are game objects that provide team buffs.

Hand of the Barons buff time is increased, but only for the one using the runic affinity mastery. other players receive the normal duration. Similarly, the scuttle and wolf spirit are unlikely to gain the increased duration from the mastery.

And what about the Gromp/Krug buff? It's personal, so it should stay longer, but I never actually checked...

They're granted on smite rather than on kill though, I don't know if that would affect the interaction with Runic Affinity.
