Actually created a ghost wolf who walked around. That looked pretty badass, why was that removed?

If it looks like an enemy, but isn't an enemy, that's a failure of clarity.

This game is already an absolute mess during teamfights, and people are bothered by a ghost wolf? :/

Some teamfights are more tame, I think the idea was at a quick glance you can get a rough idea of what something is. If you're Riven and hopping through jungle I can imagine seeing that ghost wolf out of no where could be confusing for those who don't know better. It makes sense to be clear about what something is.

Because the game isn't 100% teamfights.

I remember that too. Maybe they thought the orb had better "clarity."

There's a duck now, though, so I guess we've got that going for us.

I have not seen it yet ;-;

He only shows up sometimes. They mentioned it in the 5.6 patch notes

A ghost wolf would be cooler. Right now it makes no sense that the wolves give a little orb that travels around the forest.

Well, to be fair it doesn't make much sense that Chickens can give you true sight, or alert you when you've been detected.

i think raptors and wolves should switch buffs, wolf buff lets you "sniff" out wards, and chocobos would give you a birds eye view of your jungle

Don't hate. He ain't trying to shove his love for it down your throat, he just made a tiny aside joke.

AbsoluteSadmanApr 6, 20151 votes

i dont even like final fantasy, i just call them chocobos.

ModWulf HelhammerApr 6, 20151 votes

I think the reason they have the wolves give that buff is because they are right in a choke point for the blue jungle; you can see if anyone is trying to invade you

Honestly most of the time, id rather have that on my red side, Very rarely do i want blue over red.

Because you yank yourself at night

People probably kept thinking it was a real wolf and tried to attack it.

I think it's for the sake of clarity. Remember that you only need to Smite the camp to get the buff. You don't need to kill it as well. Imagine if you Smite it before it dies, now suddenly it looks like there is a 4th wolf. I get that it's all transparent, and you can't target it, and lalala. However, overall, a Green Orb in contrast to normal wolves will cause less visual confusion than a Transparent Wolf over normal wolves. Also what if you are counter-jungling, and you aggro'd the enemy wolves and their wolf spirit? Now it looks like there are 4 wolves chasing you.

Well.. I mean the orb that goes around the jungle isn't that bad..

Let's stop being ridiculous with the "I can't tell what is and isn't the wolf camp"

Experienced players shouldn't have a problem, or it's something they just need to adapt to and learn again like every new change in this game

New players are doomed anyway for a wide variety of reasons

I honestly thought it was going to be a proper wolf spirit from the description. Was I disappointed when I didn't get a little wolf buddy when I smited the camp for the first time.
