Small QoL buff idea for the Gromp buff: Apply on basic attacks vs monsters

darkdill··2 votes·293 views

Ever play as jungle Volibear, fear the jungle camp, and then be left with your Gromp buff not dealing any damage to them for those 3 seconds? Or how the Gromp buff never affects the Scuttle Crab? What a pain.

To remedy this, I think that the Gromp buff should be applied also on your basic attacks, but ONLY versus monsters, not Champions or minions. This would help those fringe cases where the jungle monsters are left in scenarios where they're not attacking you. And this wouldn't just be a jungle tank-exclusive buff, since all junglers will benefit from it.

It's a poison that ticks for 3 seconds, not damage that's applied per attack against you. You're not really losing any damage when you CC the monsters, as long as you let them hit you once first.

Still, the Crab never hits you, so it never gets poisoned by the Gromp buff.

Eh... okay, you've got a point on that one.
