I've got an idea for some videos. You could talk about certain decks that are currently strong, discuss the meta, if you will. You could maybe do one of these once a week, on say Wednesday. You could call it "Meta Monday"
I have an idea: How about you make a video explaining why different cards dont see play. It could be also a series since there are alot of cards in the game. Maybe even trying to build decks with then after warts could work too
Love these kinds of videos! Some ideas that I thought of: Top 10 epic cards to build a deck around Top 10 champions that fill a supporting role Top 10 strongest keywords
Extremely useful info! How about making an opposite poll to this one: "Most Overrated Cards in Runeterra", where you can assess whether the cards really are overrated, or if there's something people are missing about them...
Depends on your definition of fun. If you have fun playing all in OTK decks that you have no way of recovering if your 1 trick pony fails, then yes, you won't have fun. I personally enjoy playing slow control decks and face 0 issue with hush.
@@mathieuaurousseau100 Then you have bigger problems than just hush. Yes, it defeats poro decks, but so does just about everything else in the meta so your obviously not concerned about your win rate for your fun
@@tychoderkommentator2989 Ok then. If you're concerned about your win rate to have fun but don't want to play control then you have, at least in the current meta, as follows : Scouts Fiora/Shen Endure Aggro Lee Sin Combo decks Lulu Shen TF/GP Aggro/Burn Spider Aggro/Burn GP/Sej Nightfall Aggro Ash/Sej Deep All of which are higher than 55% win rate on average, all are masters capable decks, and all of which aren't completely shut down by Hush because they have multiple win conditions or ways to play around it
Idea for video, explain the concept of tempo vs value, and how to avalue if a card is a tempo card or value card, and how to play effective with this concepts.
As someone who is ~3mo into Runeterra without too much PVP play (playing PoC to learn the cardpools/interactions), this guide is still extremely relevant to beginners in 2022. All the concepts are very useful and things I've found myself learning after watching game streams and playing Expeditions. Learning your opponents fast/burst speed combat tricks/"outs" is also very important as you look into playing proactively, and then these tips add to the overall strategy of playing/mulliganing into certain styles and endgame conditions for your opponent.
Best combo peice for radient gardian is grizzled ranger. Play ranger on curve on 4. Scout let the attack go without attacking. It dies, creates a 3/4 then slap down Radiant and full attack.
Probably the most instructive video I've seen since starting to play LoR. more ideas? just do this again in a couple of patches and also maybe hoe to deal with the strongest card per region
One of the best things about this video is watching his seemingly sentient hair creature morph into different shapes every time it cut cuts to a new segment.
Hey Swim, here is an idea for some UA-cam videos if you need it. What do you think of a video explaining some of the high level mechanics in the game or just some card interactions that are not clear to all people specially if you are new to the game Stuff like how some burst spells interact with your units before commiting your attack or your block. For example using transfusion to kill your unit before committing your block but the opponent's attack still goes through. Another example is Concerted Strike, and its unique interaction with Fiora and barrier. How you should actually pick which unit to strike first to remove the barrier then the second one strikes. Or how fiora should be the one to strike to kill to get the level up proc. A third example would be how the sequence of cards work for example if both players have ember maiden and both nexuses are at 1 health, which player wins the game ...etc. Stuff like that in general I think would be really helpful and I think that there is a handful of people who don't know that.
@L CM I means cards that appear to be good but aren't, stuff that you might think is a good fit for a deck when deckbuilding but that don't have as much value as they appear
Thanks man, I love this kind of content and your deck doctor series. I have had long time issue of deck switching too much on a ladder climb, could you do a video on making a ladder climbing line-up or a tournament line up for conquest or last man standing? How do you best make use of the ban you get in each format?
It would be good for you to describe how to counter some of the more popular meta decks. For example the ladder is full of pirate aggro and ramp. What are some good options in this kind of meta?
Make it rain is the anti-aggro aggro enabler, aka it's the only removal that is simultaneously offensive and defensive without requiring you to choose one or the other. People don't consider its design to be problematic for the long term health of the game, and those people are wrong. Rex is another obvious inclusion. I don't find stun cards to be an issue honestly or deny or hush or radiant guardian, I guess Heimer deny stacking could be triggering...
@L CM Yeah Fizz and they who endure getting hard countered by hush is probably upsetting, but there are regions that just dodge the card, noxious, demacia, bilgewater.
@@9Nifty and thats why it is a problem you see so many decks that are good right now since hush doesnt counter them which makes the variety of the meta bad and not fun
Bruh that hair at the beginning/intro lol imagine being around a corner from him at night and all you see is a shadow from a street lamp 😂😂😂 scariest shadow ever. L from Death Note ate sweets to think critically, swim messes with his hair for maximum I.Q. gains. 💪
I always keep possession and chronicler in my hand when it's turn 6 and I am facing scouts and i just take her for myself because I know they will drop her on turn 6 and they can't stop the possession , now u may say they can single combat my units to kill her and the thing is my deck has no unit strong enough to kill her at turn 6. It's and undying deck I found on reddit really fun.
i feel soo pressured when i play nightfall vs a a sol deck its like i am on a constant timer and when the timer ends aka the enemy reaches 10 mana its game over for me
idk if it's a sign of how good the game is designed, but I actually don't find the majority of these annoying. I feel like all of these can be played around except for Hush. Hush is the only one that truly annoys me. Radiant Guardian is only really annoying if you're playing aggro, I think.
I'm disappointed that there's no mention to Leviathan and Leveled Up Sejuani here... Although maybe it's right because you just can't beat those cards! lol
I knew Radian is number one I fucking hate this card overall alot of the strong units in Demacia need a nerf and some who have vanila stats should get maybe a small buff but just maybe
Ngl, its annoying to see so many 5+ cards completely unused/overshadowed by either better options or no need for them due to the current meta gameplans or just bad cards overall
@@Hoellenseher I have, but it's stil disappointing to look at sometimes. LoR team has done a great job with these balance changes, I just want to see some more cards and strategies have a little more viability
@@Zachiderp we got around 20 playable decks on ladder. Sure, some cards are crap or just understated. But you will never get every card into the meta. We got over 50% of cards and thats not bad at all
@@Hoellenseher so you want it to be like hs and magic ? because i guess it's the same right now Dev team does a terrible job at balancing the game and make it ENJOYABLE IN THE LONG RUN with diversity ! As i said , this patch is total garbage , targon is absolutely broken and no nerfs Ionia and pnz re total garbage and 0 buffs to the nuerous cards that need it to make the game cool ! no i'm sure next patch riot will fuck up again and just do nothing
Best advice: When they Radiant Guardian you Poro emote into concede. Definitely loved this strategy.
As an aggro player I approve this advice
His hair takes so many different shapes during this video lol
His hair has a will of its own
Hair shaper: 3mana 0/6, strike: draw 1 elusive unit

How to counter hush: Don't play fun decks.

Recall is a good card against mind splitter. 1 Mana to recall your champ/unit and play them again the same turn

But how do we play around bubble bear?
Good video Swim
Hi Swim, if you don't have other things planned, can you make a video on the mindsplitter deck you recently posted on Mobalytics? Thanks
If you're looking for video ideas and audience engagement you should run a small fan tournament

So nobody talk about 7 health flipped swain and his 1 mana spell huh!!
„Always Play around the threat as best as possible... if you cant Play simply right into it“
24:20 WTF Mind Meld is Bilgewater card? I thought it's in Ionia
I have the same issue with Radiant Guardian; I keep forgetting this card exists. My brain probably thinks this is an Expedition-exclusive card.
i feel soo pressured when i play nightfall vs a a sol deck its like i am on a constant timer and when the timer ends aka the enemy reaches 10 mana its game over for me
I always get punished by hush vs Asol decks , playing the kalsita tempo deck, I find it hard to bait the hush with a kalista attack pre 8 (atrocity)
no Atrocity? I hate that card! it should be Slow.
concerted strike is annoying too
Bro ikr
Wasn't mentioned on Twitter as much as the ones in the vid
There's nothing about decimate that is slow speed, except the fact that it is slow speed
Where is the decklist for Kuvera's Mindsplitter list?
I am always a bit worried when seeing youtubers I watch do top ten lists, but this was just a regular analysis/guide.
i got blown back by mf scouts because they tech'd one radiant guardian into their list lmao
13:32 look at his hair lmao
*This* is great content
Let me guess before watching-
Hush is up there
I love your long vids pls more
I'm surprised Trundle isn't here. He is super annoying to deal with.
I still really hope they nerf Radiant Guardian.
In Swim's mind, bubble bear will always be one of them, even if he doesn't say so
