There's also a Mob Gauge (that shows in the top of the screen, like Zakum) for Magnus. Why would that be there if he didn't have HP? I think his HP is server sided because they wanted to bypass the 32-bit integer wall.
Imagination time now. It could be something like several zones to control. If your team has over 1/2 or 2/3 of them under your control, his HP starts draining. The more points you control, the faster it drains. If you are below the threshold, then he starts healing again. That would make use of an HP Guage. It would be extremely interesting if the threshold to drain his HP required more zones to be held simultaneously than the player limit on the map/fight.
A man can dream.
Regardless, they probably won't give out much info about it till a few days before Magnus' patch.
