Wolves need to be removed

Void2258·Dec 4, 2019·2 votes·843 views

The wolves fight is just annoying. It is the only fight where you want to reverse your front and back line. It forces you to needlessly move around a ton of units, and causes the round after it to frequently lose because people will be focused on other things and forget to move them back. It serves no particular purpose, not being particularly harder or more rewarding than other creep phases. It just serves to encourage random screw ups and general groaning when it comes up. No one is ever happy about wolves, just annoyed. The extra mechanic of having to move everything around for one special creep phase is only annoying and has no benefit to the game or the player in any way. Please remove it and replace it with a more normal phase.

If you have to readjust your whole line for wolves, you're probably losing to players anyway. Immo its not that hard to set up for.

It's 5 assassins. That's way more than you will usually deal with. So you have to take all the squishes and move them to the front or they die to this level of abnormal, concentrated assassin damage. Your line isn't set up for that by default because it's way more than you will almost ever be dealing with from players. And then put them right back where they were. It's needless busy work.

I don't find it particularly hard, and it's early enough in the game that it's not likely to cause one to run out of time. That being said, I also agree that it serves no purpose and there's no particular reason to keep the mechanic.

At that stage it should not matter, and you shouldn't have to adjust anything for the wolves. They can kill one of your back line champions before the rest wipe them. So what? If anybody in your game plays Assassins - they can do much worse.

Or move the squishies to the farthest back line (back right corner) and put your tanks right in front of them, thus protecting them/walling them in.. That also works well.

Wolves are nothing in there, they are one of the easiest rounds. Be glad they didn't implement the Gromp round they tested on PBE for awhile, that one was a real nightmare.
