Using Smite on the Greater Murk Wolf will summon a nature spirit that grants sight over the nearby crossroads for 75 seconds. Whenever an enemy champion comes in range of the nature spirit, it will chase them for a short duration. This bonus can only be claimed once per spawn.

Additionally:

It will not detect stealthed enemies.

Usage:

Decimating Smash damage to monsters was lowered from 90% to 80%

The Roar of the Slayer changes were significant, but not disastrous. The big bad dude is still... Read More
