Changes: Champion summoned units

Revision as of 18:57, 17 May 2020

See also pets, mounts, and named weapons.

A champion summoned unit (often referred to as a 'pet') is a game character similar to a minion, monster, or champion, that is spawned into the game by a champion.

Targetable

Decoy

A Decoy is a copy of a champion that is only considered a champion for targeting purposes, otherwise considered a pet. Takedowns also consider it as a pet and its damage is still credited to the owner (and so will attract tower aggro as with any champion damage). Depending on the creation, a decoy can copy almost all effects from the owner, such as item bonuses and current inflicted debuffs.

Interactions with other abilities/runes/items are case by case. For example:

Tahm Kench can Devour the decoy and will not get slowed, will have reduced devour time, and will be able to launch it away as a minion. PENDING FOR TEST: Is Tahm Kench's Regurgitate damage capped?

The damage dealt by a decoy's basic attacks is not considered to be ability damage and so will not trigger spell effects (e.g. spell vamp and Luden's Echo). Their attacks will, however, trigger the pet condition of Rylai's Crystal Scepter and the healing from Hextech Gunblade. Some clones are able to heal themselves with life steal if they have any, and Spoils of War will be triggered by clones' attacks.

Controllable: The player can control some of the following clones' actions. This can be done either by Alt + RMB or via the button used to summon them (such as )

LeBlanc's Mirror Image
- Controls movement and basic attacks without dealing damage but applying some on-hit effects.
Shaco's Hallucinate
- Controls movement and basic attacks while also applying any cloned on-hit effects.
Wukong's Warrior Trickster
- Controls basic attacks and can mimic Wukong's abilities.

Static

Fiddlesticks' Scarecrow Effigy
- Reveals the area and performs a random action after being seen by a nearby enemy champion. Uniquely, it is a valid target for Teleport.
Illaoi's Test of Spirit
- Does not perform any actions but is vulnerable to damage, which is transferred to its "body" (i.e. the champion).
Wukong's Nimbus Strike
- Creates two clones that dash to enemies around the target. Untargetable during the dash, but become targetable for 0.25 seconds by non-targeted effects after reaching their targets.
Neeko's Shapesplitter
- Merely runs in the target direction before timing out.

Minion

Minion designation affects peculiarities such as valid targeting and tower priority. Its damage is credited to the owner.

When a minion attacks:

If the damage is based on the minion's AD, the damage is not considered to be ability damage and so will not trigger spell effects (e.g. spell vamp and Luden's Echo).
If the damage is based on the minion's AP, the damage is considered to be ability damage and so will apply spell effects.

In either case, their attacks will trigger the pet condition of Rylai's Crystal Scepter and the healing from Hextech Gunblade.

Additional damage dealt by minions, e.g. Heimerdinger's H-28G Evolution Turret's laser beam, is considered to be an ability and is classified as ability damage.

Controllable: The player can control the following champions' movement. This can be done either by Alt + RMB or via the button used to summon them (such as )

Annie's Summon Tibbers
- Tibbers damages enemies around him every second, which is classified as ability damage. Tibbers can gain damage reduction from Molten Shield.
Ivern's Daisy!
- Can be shielded by Triggerseed and will prioritize targets hit by Rootcaller.

Autonomous: The following units behave autonomously.

Elise's Spider Queen
Heimerdinger's H-28G Evolution Turret and H-28Q Apex Turret
- Turrets periodically fire a laser beam that is classified as ability damage.
Illaoi's Prophet of an Elder God
- Tentacles do not have basic attacks but instead perform autonomously a Slam every 10 seconds at a Spirit or a Vessel or when commanded by Illaoi with Harsh Lesson. The damage is classified as ability damage.
Malzahar's Void Swarm
Yorick's Awakening (Mist Walkers)
- Will leap toward and prioritize enemies hit by Mourning Mist.
Yorick's Eulogy of the Isles (Maiden of the Mist)
- Will stop to assist Yorick if he is attacked nearby.
Zac's Cell Division (bloblets)
- Due to this effect, Zac is the only champion that can be killed by Smite and can be targeted (and granted invulnerability) by Teleport.
Zyra's Rampant Growth (plant)

Structures / Terrain

The individual units that make up the terrain sometimes have visible health bars (similar to lane minions) in Spectator Mode or briefly upon initially being summoned; and can sometimes be clicked upon to view their Target Frame, offering arbitrary statistical information. Aside from the aforementioned bug, terrain usually cannot be selected as a target directly save for exceptional cases.

Although Bard's Magical Journey works on terrain, it cannot be created on player-created terrain.

List of abilities affected by terrain:

Terrain

Anivia's Crystallize
Azir's Emperor's Divide
- Will reject enemy attempts to breach the formation, but allows allies to pass.
Jarvan IV's Cataclysm
Ornn's Volcanic Rupture
Taliyah's Weaver's Wall
Trundle's Pillar of Ice
Yorick's Dark Procession
- Single-targetable.

Structures: Structures can be directly targeted, but otherwise have the same (plus some additional) interactions. Some additional effects include Trample and Tremors.

Turrets is one type of structure and has some effects that will trigger versus turrets but not other structures, such as Ohmwrecker and Explosive Charge.
- Azir's Sun Disc
There are currently no examples of champion summoned inhibitors or other non-turret structures, but they are a distinct classification.

Targetable Traps

Traps are triggered when valid targets come into their trigger range. In all existing cases, their damage is classified as ability damage credited to their champion. Traps are initially stealthed after a brief "arm time", and will be revealed by Hextech Sweeper and Trap Detection.

Miscellaneous / Wards

The following units have no known classification but can be safely tagged as allied/enemy "units", which makes them valid targets for Safeguard and Teleport but invalid targets for most other effects (i.e. things that affect minions, champions or any of the above categories). One possible tag for many of the following units is "ward", since wards follow this behavior.

Gangplank's Powder Keg
Jarvan IV's Demacian Standard (untargetable)
Kalista's Sentinel (moves and grants sight only in front of it)
Rek'Sai's Tunnel (does not grant sight; targetable only by allies)
Thresh's Dark Passage (affects unit collision)
Control Ward
Farsight Ward and Zombie Ward (untargetable by allies)
Stealth Ward and Totem Ward
Ghost Poro

Non-targetable

"Non-targetable" refers to units that are never meant to be targetable:

Azir's Sand Soldiers
Ekko's On-cast Projection
Lissandra's Thralls
Lulu's Pix
Orianna's Ball
Shadow Assassin's Blade's Reach
Syndra's Dark Sphere
Wukong's Clones
- Untargetable during the dash.
Yasuo's Dashing Projection
Zed's Shadows and Dashing Shadows
Zoe's First Portal Projection

Non-targetable Traps

Traps are triggered when valid targets come into their trigger range. In all cases, their damage is classified as ability damage and is credited to their champion. If hidden from sight, they will be detected by Sweeping Lens' hostile unit detection.
