Why doesn't Wolf have a health bar?

Cloud273··1 votes·893 views

Serious question. You have this thing that just pops out and starts attacking you, and you can't fight it at all. A lot of champions in this game have little minions that fight alongside them (Elise spiderlings, Yorick ghouls, Malzahar voidlings, Tibbers, etc), but I'm pretty sure all of them can be killed. I don't know who designed this champion, but I'm willing to bet it's CertainlyT, since he seems to design all champs with no counterplay.

The same reason Spirit Fire does not have a health bar.

Spirit fire isn't a summon. That's a stupid comparison.

Wolf is not a summon either.

It is just an AoE that has a head.

It's a summon dude. You literally can't even see him until Lamb/Kindred calls him.

Well, you are not meant to kill Wolf alone. Wolf is not technically a "pet". They are a half of Kindred. so Kindred's health is half Wolf's in a sense.

He should be treated as a pet just like every other summon in this game. And don't try to tell me he's not a summon, because he doesn't appear until you use an ability.

So should Maokai's saplings have a health bar? How about Fizz's ult? Maybe Ori's ball?

Yes they should. All of them.

And why exactly should Fizz's Ult have a health bar? It's a skillshot that is also an ultimate. It would be bullshit for people to just basic their way out of an ultimate.

Fizz has an ability that makes him completely untouchable on a very short cooldown (with max cdr) and you're lecturing me about bullsh*t?

What do u mean "doesn't appear" he's literally always there. only difference is with that ability he visibly does something.

No he's not. You don't actually see him until Kindred sends him out with her abilities.

Use her taunt, he appears without using an ability.

We're talking about combat, which that has absolutely nothing to do with.

Why doesn't Wolf have a health bar?

Because he's a particle effect of a rather unusual ability, not a unit in his own right. He occupies no actual space and doesn't block movement.

Also, because if you COULD attack him, it would be an ENORMOUS buff to Jungle Kindred, as Wolf could tank things, while also being a huge nerf to lane Kindred as you could kill a portion of her DPS. It would really mess with her balance.

Yeah, those ones you listed can all be killed...but they're also mobile. With Wolf all you literally have to do is walk out of the aoe. Stay mad though.

For the same reason Fiddle's Crow doesn't have a health bar: You're not supposed to kill them, you're supposed to run away from them or get hit.

ZackTheWaffleMan3 votes

bad comparison; you can't run away from Fiddle's crows

S0kaX2 votes

You can if he doesn't use it on you

ZackTheWaffleMan2 votes

That's not running away from his crows, that's running away from the threat of his crows.

because if you were attacking wolf then lamb would be killing you?

It would be cool if kindred was reworked have more direct interactions with Wolf, as if it was its own entity or as much of an entity as the lamb is.

Playing with 2 champs instead of 1 lol.
