Anyone wonders why riot lacks champions with pets? Not like a pet champion meant to scout the area and what not but a champion that is used to fight along side or for its owner. I know it may be riots current mechanics im thinking more of a similar way they did it with annie. Except they add a little more creativity to the champion to make it feel more cooler.

Personally i would love to see a champion who has a giant wolf as a pet. The wolf would aid the champion in battle and the wolf can talk telepathically to its owner. Yeah you may think it would be a bit generic i can understand that since we have warwick. But its something that i would like to see.

Any thoughts and opinions feel free to post.


ps lol first picture is probably a fox but you get my drift xD

One of the reasons I read a while back was because of the current AI they have for "pets" (ie. Malzahar's minion and Orianna's ball) is that they don't have the proper mechanics to pull off a true pet. I wish I had the thread link for you but I don't :/

If memory serves correctly Xypherous said he is currently looking into things he can tweak with game wise, and I think he mentioned Malz's minion's and something he might touch or polish a little, which could give an improvement to future AI developments. Again sorry for not having the thread as a source, but I don't categorize and save threads like I should for helpful things like this. And if you see this Xypherous and I'm wrong, I apologize and feel free to correct me.

Hope this helps a little ^.^

I'm sure they can, but right now they have more important things to focus on. And if they did figure it out, they would be fixing all the current pet champions first before making a new one. (at least that would make the most sense)

Not sure how this is helpful to the topic. Only issue for League when it comes to pets is that players will have to learn to micro-manage, it'd be a new game play mechanic that not all of them are used to.

agreed if riot were to one day improve there pet system mechanics it would add more strategy to the game and could even change the current meta we have. I know that for sure xD
