    27:15 Why is this statement so true tho. Asol is a Q bot, Smolder is a Q bot, Ap Shyvana is a E bot...

    Ive found out that getting 2 points in q and 2 in w by level 5 is just therapeutic. With your usual buys it just makes it so w takes the caster minions to a low enough threshold that your q can immediately kill them after. Its so satisfying for the stackies

    • @Snarflez
      @Snarflez 8 місяців тому +2

      Yes, early points into w is very helpful. I start it level 1 because q is just so lackluster till it at least has 25 stacks.

    I think they should make his E toggle on/off like old Asol’s W and cost mana on the duration . Because he is extremely squishy and the E isnt enough to give him survivability and the fact his only damage source is Q I believe it would be a good idea to make his E toggle on

    Get comet, absolute focus and scorch.
    Level W first. At level 5 keep W at 3 then max Q.
    Just poke with your W. At level 1 with the runes you already doing heavy poke dmg, more importantly caster minion will get half hp getting hit by it.
    Essence reaver cdr boot then navori. After that your choice.

  • @Xynithos

    I think his e should be changed to apply on hit effects. Like press the attack, botrk etc. cause as right now it's only scaling is his stacks and "crit" (crit increases the ammount of hits)

    While the mini elder on his kit is so fun, I feel like they should remove it or nerf it to ge ground and shift more power to his other abilities. I mean his W is literally a sneeze apart from getting stacks I dont see a reason to use it.
    I'm pretty sure he is this weak because they balance around his Q and how powerful that last powerup is.

    they failed so hard with this champ, they could make something cool like kayle where from lvl 1-6 he's in his baby form like he is now, then from 6-11 he's slightly bigger and his abilities get upgraded then at 16+ he becomes an adult dragon with fully evolved abilities but no.

      @-REDTRUCK- 8 місяців тому +1

      there can be no full magic damage smolder as *EVERY* single ability does physical damage the only magic damage he has is his dragon practice which wont scale until late game. that said you can build ap cuz his ap scalings arent horrible but you cant build magic pen ( or shouldnt cuz hes all physical) so ap is just weaker. instead i would try him kinda onhit cuz his q does work with onhits. you could go triforce, botrk, rageblade, kraken slayer, terminus. i think that could be fun but dangerous cuz this built requires weaving autos and like he said in the video this champ is a q bot.
