Ward Attack Speed?
I noticed a while ago that wards have an Attack Speed of 0.625 (Rounded up to 0.63 as shown in the picture) http://imgur.com/YLVtcjs I would really want an explanation to this.

You wanna get fucked up?
Wards are classified as minions the 0.63 was probely the lowest attackspeed to that time
Baron has 300 movespeed.
Embrace the SPAGHETTI CODE
They have attack speed because they're biding their time. Waiting. Waiting for 1,000 hours in where they get 6k AD.
give wards some ad maybe then low elo people will use them since they will do damage.
Same attack speed as Jhin O_O
Almost certain they used to have 15 AD as well.
Maybe a leftover from when everything was programmed like a minion and they just didn't want to fck around with removing it because it has no influence on gameplay? Just speculating.
Wards hurt
"blah blah blah something about coded as minions blah blah blah"
You know how everything's a minion? Well, a ward is merely a minion that cannot attack and has to be hit 3 times, as far as the code cares
wait if wards are minions..... can i get a unskined ward and just have a unmoving minion ward :3
spaghetti code
maby a fixed parameter in the game maby someone copied it and forget it to change maby you need it for the animation maby the number is a placeholder maby a relic from the the alpha
Attack speed of buildings 2,00 Nexus towers 0,83 Normal towers
Attack Speed of Jungle Monster 0,63 Gromp 0,49 Blue 0,63 Wolfs
0,67 Raptors 0,60 Red 0,61 Krugs
0,64 Scuttler Crab
0,50 Dragon 0,67 Rift Herold 0,75 Baron Nashor
Attack Speed of Minions 1,25 Melee 0,67 Caster 1,00 Canon
Wards 0,63 Pink + Yellow Trinket
Everything back in the day was coded as a minion. Even Jayce's range E was minions, and it let Azir have an odd bug to give him CS for attacking near it.
So in this case, because it's coded as a minion, it gets attack speed.
SHHH
We can't let the wards know they can fight back...
Because everything in league is coded as minions.
Wards op please nerf
Is that really an issue????
they used to have movespeed
The attack speed is their refresh rate.
a laziness or unwillingness to fix all the random crap in the game like that.
Numerous objects that aren't their own entity, like wards not even being entity ward, they are entity minion coded to be stationary and have x amount of hp. Just like towers aren't entity tower, heimerdinger turrets aren't their own entity, and so on. It has also caused issues with things like that (is why Shen's tp was borked for so long and they had to completely recode it from scratch, because they took actual tp and just spaghetti'd the code around).
