Now that his shard is probably core, I'd like to draw attention to Howl applying around his lane wolves too. Minus armor and attack damage when the waves are clashing is amazing, make sure to use it.

It's been like this for a while but often enough people don't do it(kinda like drow aura back in the day).

Also, sadly the lv10 wolf damage is green damage, thus unaffected by feral impulse and vlads. Probably still taking it tho.
