Wolf Camp Lost Their Identity

Out of all of the various jungle camps, the wolf camp has seemed the most uninspired with the new jungle. When the Smite buffs were still around, they had the distinction of having the spirit thing that follows the enemies in your jungle around. However, the wolves just have no identity now.

Raptors are distinct in their sheer numbers. Krugs are distinct in the fact that they split and take a long time to finish. The Gromp is distinct in the sense that he's huge and "enrages" at the start of the encounter, along with looking ridiculously over-the-top. Buff camps are unique for obvious reasons. Scuttle Crab is unique because it provides the vision and Speed Shrine. Wolves have nothing new or distinct to bring to the table.

I think that Riot needs to do something to make the wolf camp just overall more fun to clear, and less monotonous or forgettable.

EDIT: Just had a good idea. What if the wolves could call some allies to help them on occasion, in the style of Dragon Quest?

Tbh the wolves should just attack whoever comes near them, that'd make sense :^)

Here's where the Warwick rework comes in handy.

neh i kinda like clearing a normal jungle camp instead of 50000 raptors or some fucking crab things that split into 1000 pieces

The wolf camp's identity is that they are just nothing x)

I believe that is the whole point of the camp. Its the generic camp. Thats it's identity.

Raptors is AoE. Krugs is the time sink. Buffs are buffs. Gromp is the easy camp.

What if they have higher attack speed based on how many of they are still alive? Like a pack hunter thing.

I was thinking this in my last game, or more like my last 20. Jungle plants added something unique but the jungle camps don't seem quite as fun anymore. Buffs actually provided something to contest in each others jungles.

Wolves are your favorite pair of jeans that fits just right. Yeah, they're nothing special but damn if they aren't reliable in almost any situation.

IMO Wolves should be given a massively decreased spawn time as well as having lower rewards for a single kill. Drop its spawn to 60 seconds, make it a camp that farm junglers want to path into repeatedly, a resource draining camp with high rewards.

If paths like Wolves>Gromp>Blue>Wolves became possible I think that would be great and would help give champs other than bullshit early gankers a place in the game.

riot said that theyre just a generic camp and kept them the same so all the champs can take the camp just think about the low favored junglers like fiddle or idk trundle? maybe? they can take on the wolves no problem and still get some decent gold while doing so. especially when the rest of the jungle is deathtraps and single buff camps

Another fact, the Grump does magic damage, which is unique.

what if killing the wolves gave you some sort of vision in your own jungle, like a wolf roaming around until it runs out or the enemy jg finds and kills it

New wolf camp: Wolves prowl around the jungle and attack any low health champions.

New Feature: When you clear the wolf camp, you are followed by a ghost wolf.

Just bring back the damn jungle vision. It was nice

Gromp lost his as well. Raptors and krugs just have "the aoe camps" as their identity now. Basically when they removed the camp buffs they made the jungle more boring.
