League-of-legends – Which champions have pets

league-of-legends

Which champions have pets? I know Annie has one (Tibbers) and Heimerdinger has something of a pet (not sure what it is called). Are there any others?

Best Answer

It really all depends on your definition of 'pet'.

According to the LoL wiki:

A pet is a minion only responsive to a Champion. Some pets have their own health, some are controllable, some are static and some help cast abilities.
- Annie's Summon Tibbers
- Mordekaiser's Children of the Grave
- Yorick's Omen of Death
- Elise's Spider Swarm
- Heimerdinger's H-28G Evolution Turret
- Malzahar's Summon Voidling
- Shaco's Jack In The Box
- Yorick's Omen of War, Omen of Pestilence and Omen of Famine
- Zyra's Rampant Growth
A decoy is a pet that's considered as a Champion in almost all respects (such as tower priority, valid targets, etc), except that their damage is still credited to their owner (and so will attract tower aggro as with any champion damage).
- LeBlanc's Mirror Image
- Shaco's Hallucinate
- Wukong's Decoy
A few pets act as traps or wards:
- Elise's Volatile Spiderling
- Maokai's Sapling Toss
The following look like pets but don't quite behave like that:
- Lulu's Pix
- Quinn's Valor
- Swain's Beatrice
- Orianna's ball
- Syndra's Dark Sphere
- Viktor's Chaos Storm
- Zed's Living Shadow and Death Mark
- Janna's Zephyr
A number of pets are just for cosmetic effect as part of their ability sets; see a list here.

League of Legends – Best and Worst Champions for Dominion Map

Riot games have put a special effort into having balanced champions for this game style as well. I don't believe there are any champions to avoid. However, the team composition changes a bit.

AP Carry

You will still need one, or else the other team will just build against AD and will own you as soon as they are a bit stuffed.

Tank / Off Tank

King in solo holding the bot lane, also very good in "tower diving" (if we can still call it so in Dominion).

Melee Fighters

They tend to be the heroes everyone picks as they are sort of kings on this map. They deal quite some damage and have high sustainability (so they don't need to Back often), and are often very good in 1v1 (which happens pretty often in Dominion).

Ranged AD Carry

More than one is too much, but not having one (to have more fighters) is a handicap. He deals crazy damage and can attack out of tower range or defend minion waves without exposing himself in front of the tower. From the games I've played or seen, having only melee champs is clearly a handicap.

Support

I rarely see them in Dominion and believe they are overlooked. Each time I've had one on my team, it was awesome to hold the windmill (we never had to back, support would always buff/heal us). However, having a support requires good team play, because the champion won't do anything on its own (compared to fighters).

General

As XP gain is so fast in Dominion, teams are usually built with mid/late game champions. Riot tried to correct this in a previous patch by lowering the XP gain aura on the map, however, you still get to level 6 tremendously fast, so don't hesitate in taking weak early game champs (like Kassadin, useless before level 6).

Try having a hero or 2 (at least) with high mobility (Rammus, Kassadin, Nocturne, Twisted Fate, etc.) to do lane swaps and be unpredictable in your tower attacks.

Conclusion

All heroes are viable. It all depends on the team composition.

Good Akali, Irelia and Xin Zhao champions can however be freaking awesome with their ganking abilities and life steal.
