he sounds genuinely embarressed while he reading those skills lol

polish accent diff

those names sound like a troll i hope they dont release him

hearing him say "Flap, Flap, Flap" was also glorious

Is he an Ai

Would love a 1% chance for the shadow shape to be a t-posing sylas

Ok class, where do dragons come from? Well a mommy dragon is called by a daddy sylas to make a baby dragon who calls mom.

They actually changed his face due to backlash so he looks more like a dragon now

Dw, they did a Sonic movie and listened to the fans for a change

ok scalies

@halorocker2 head's to upright as well for a dragon, even nafiri doesn't doesn't pretend to be human

Look at skarf from vainglory

We have taric and shyvanna R so that’s the best we are gonna get :(

Yea.. I freaking hate kids and sweet characters..

we want a Loli.. oh wait xD

Not to mention that as always, the character isn't wearing a shirt

​@@kudaty1808 technically hwei is a teen, mr. Boomer

And with each level of ult he can get more range on either abilities or autos.

Sounds really cool, but that would expand his hitbox, which would be something you not want as an adc

And then at level 18, if he has Shyvana on his team, he can choose to mate with her and spawn another baby Smolder giving you a 6th teammate!

Thats what I thought when riot said that the next marksmen was a cute thing that evolved into something powerful but no, he stays in baby form all of the time

Why would gangplanks ship be in the sky?

ENEMY UAV SPOTTED

I didn't know that Gangplank was a space pirate.

@@victorro8760 Lemme introduce you to Dreadnova Gangplank

Imagine if ASol had a voice line of something like "Don't make me come up there!" when enemy Smolder or GP ults

But at least his kit seems balancable, no ability, where the only way to nerf it, would be to remove it completely. *Looks at Akshan and Viego as two examples*

You'd say that, but it's a very slow, pretty low range dash. Just because he has mobility doesn't make him safe. Think of Corki, for example.

​@@etuanno Wait, what did you remove from Akshan and Viego? When speaking of removing parts of kit, I usually think of Akali or Sylas more.

max health true damage.... enough said lol

@@cedrusnguyen5188 I think he means Akshans full team revive mechanic and viegos posess

I love the comparison of him to G5 My Little Pony. The cheap kid series look is accurate.

@@amandaslough125 oh jeez yeah I see it! Ive seen him compared to the flop disney dragon movie too

Before I saw the build I thought he was a mage the ability’s just seems like mage abilitys lol

He's just skylanders spyro

​@@JunkMeister. what do you think "caster adc" means?

Bruh Tibbers, Daisy, and yorick's ghouls are able to kill asol and you're concerned about Smolder?

@@raithryn6427 I was talking lore wise. A mere terrestrial dragon can't hope to do much against someone lie asol.

@@EndariDeathgrin lore wise asol is literally the creator of everything, no one can even come close to his power (not even the other gods)

​​@@jaydiism mordekaiser and old kindred ,quite possibly aatrox and currently whoever gave him the crown :D Also NOTHING beats the void

​@@lordgentaikawai4399so he created everything, gotcha (If you think you there is anything in the universe that doesn't come from stars, you're a very high elo player and you need to buy a bridge from me to prove it)

Honestly, how disappointing. It's a shame these kinda champs are so popular. Glad I quit

​@@alt-q1yI disagree with you

Heroes of the Storm gave the players Deathwing....DEATHWING!!!

@@alt-q1y Funny enough, those kinds of champs aren't really popular among the fanbase. People were complaining about Smolder's design the moment he got revealed. Rito of course doesn't care about players opinion or feedback and simply think they know better, with all their "combined game design experience", so they do stuff like that again and again. Or maybe they were simply desperate for a cheap mascot opportunity, who knows?

@@strongerthanever2039 they aren't? I sure do hope you have statistical data to back that up, or is it all anedoctal observations of biased sources like reddit and youtube comments? Not saying you're wrong or right, but stating it as a fact with no data is just your opinion and not in any way representative of the the data you're trying to generalize, it's easy to think your opinion and feedback are the entire represantation when you live on a echo chamber.

and %max hp true dmg

Rageblade time

its not that bad, corki already has that

Wait so you can build him full ap as well or no?

Another Yone moment

With an execute I think u need to make a vid :P

After bro stacks up. Unlike 2 other champions we know..... 😓

Meanwhile even Vayne not have execute in her true % dmg...

@@tencive5749 on an AOE ability too, don't forget

I mean... he DOES need to get 225 stacks to unlock that, so MAYBE it can be SOMEWHAT balanced depending on the amount and the time you get this at however, giving a marksman, a class meant to deal nothing but damage, this may be problematic.

Well then I don't like your face. Why are you all so mean

Vayne reacted sad

tbf his teaser video made him look so weird, but he looks alright ingame. The face is still an issue but not what you constantly look at ingame.

YEAH THE FACE It's like Sonic from the sonic movie before they fixed him when he was ugly as hell, same vibes

@@Schwibzik ??? why the fuck did you get angry because someone said an fucking ugly FICTIONAL character is fucking ugly? do you have the same face as him???

Agreed, I hate the fucking character design but the kit looks like a lot of fun

Still looks bad imo, he is too thin and too long nd just doesn't look like dragon unless he is autoattacking

@@tindera2100I love it

His kit is similar to ezreal and ezreal is the most popular champion

Thought it was a chicken at first

AYOOOO!!!

Me and ur mom be like

VANDRIL PLEASE THIS IS NOT YOUR ALT.

Can they rework more champs instead. Like they keep releasing so many broken champs.

@@mechboltxl4591 something like "if we release a bunch of new broken champs maybe they forgot about old ones..?"

Thats how they used to do it way back in the day. Early league had like one or two champs a month

do not cite the deep magic to me, witch! I was there when it was written we used to get champs every 2 weeks and we liked it

@@tatashie or at least balance the number of new and reworked champions. This is ridiculous. Seeing so many new champions in this game. None of them were released in a balanced state.

rememeber that on aurelion sol rework they stated "we want people to feel like you are playing a real dragon", but "hes not a dragon"

Yeah and was so epic it was meant to replace aoshin and also needed a rework to correct the one issue being his unique kit. And if this is a dragon then why doesn’t it have a dragon face xD meanwhile shyv literally turns into a dragon. Riot is the biggest abuser of fans and shifting focus

Thank you for saying what needed to be said xD When I first saw the art for this champ, I thought it was a new TFT chibi 😂

The next one is most likely a Cat or Bunny I think

I mean it’s a dragon that counts as a monster in my books. And if he’s well received maybe we get more like it … copium

I just want ugly characters that are fun.

@@jaimeruiz7837or even just more normal characters, like gangplank. Pirate who looks like a pirate and has abilities that make sense for a pirate. Simple and effective

No no, we need representation in our media, so nothing you incel virgin naxis consider normal will be in the game /Sarcasm

viego players eating well with flap flap flap

Since*

and looks like dogshit

Yup, no matter what it is, Riot will find a way to fuck us over and thats one of the few certainties in life.

Lighten up

Shyvana left the game.

@@trunkmak2Riot said Shyvanna isn’t a dragon just half dragon mixed blood.

max health true damage burn with an execute*

after 225 stacks of passive, remeber old Viktor scaling with shards, 225 stacks with that was like 30min if you had good cs and won lane... hoping I don't eat my words upon release.

@@LiamJMills hopefully 🙏

@@LiamJMills well, he is pretty much a veigar adc with execute part from aurelion and even similiar idea on fly and spit damage on the enemy

Its supposed to be like elder dragon execute but smaller. Maybe hes a type of baby elder dragon

are you a riout employee? stop talking nonsense

Corki? Lucian? Samira? Those are skill dependant champs there's nothing wrong with his kit

they are called ad casters bruv

Have you ever seen ezreal?

ad casters are a part of the ADC role and he was definitely designed as such

@@JyronMarhvinJolindon Alright but a dragon breathing flames that do.... physical damage ? I mean ok, but it just feels weird. Lucian, Samira, and Corki basically use guns, and Ezreal uses what is essentially a wrist canon.

Just for Sylas 😅

Actually hoped the ult has 80 ap scaling

Make it 300

@@MaverickMyth It doesn't matter for Sylas, he converts all AD scaling ults to AP anyway.

@@Kuptain True, but it still works better for him than the Champion he steals it from, since they can't make use of the AP scaling. Which was what I was getting at.

Shyvanna rework might solve that

​@SoulGaleo1992 you mean the character that won twice in the polls and still got passed up multiple times?

@NeuroNinjaAlexander Riot Games gonna Riot Games I guess.

@@NeuroNinjaAlexander In case you actually haven't heard she is after the next, which I assume is Singed? I was on phone when it was teased

@@animeangeis please how many times have I already heard that? She's after Udyr! She's after Skarner! She's after blank! I'll believe it when me shit turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbert

Yep I thought exactly the same, they wasted so much potential with this champ, hes reskinned kaisa

They have to save that for the Ultimate Skin they’re gonna sell you in 2025.

@@janah6473 Very true

although i guess it is balanced by the fact that it doesn't kick in until closer to late game with 200 passive stacks

E new concept? Its just a buffed Akshan spell :D R hasnt got anything new or fresh, there are 10 more champions who got the same ultimate just with different animation. And yes nobody need an ad asol with execute and true dmg

Looks like Kayle will be his best counter as he has no hard CC or dodge skills like Jax E

Well in late game since that % max hp true damage doesn't show up unless he has enough stacks

He has no hard cc or crazy dash do make sure q lands, it's strong but not totally unfair

I just said these exact words, no joke 😂😂😂😂😂 I swear they keep giving me EVERY reason to NOT play this game anymore.

@@Delimon007 well at least we didn't get yet another 200 years ADC that will just ignore all of your damage and burst you butt down. At least this guy actually had to work for it since he doesn't have wave clear in level 1 and he doesn't have an actual escape ability and he's actually has pretty short range AA range

ryze e q also shows the blue crit sign. i actually thought it was a crit. we need a better indicator for sweetspots and empowered abilities

Yeah most “enhanced” damage shows up with the crit indicator, anivia E, aatrox sweetspot, karthus q, morde q, and I think Nidalee’s Takedown if they’re marked could be wrong on that one though because my spears tend to miss (its not my fault i swear)

​@@grenetin6062that's a good indicator. Why add another set of numbers to already cluttered gameplay?

@@6DarthSion9 another set of numbers? What are you on sbout? We'd just need two small icons.

I mean anivia does twice the damage hitting e after frost

@@Mindfever20 but it is not effected by crit chance and it is not by chance at all. If you hit another spel before, the damage is allways increased. If you didn't hit another spell, the damage is never increased.

The things isn't about if the damage is double or not. it is about if you gain more dmg buying crit @Mindfever20

Its gonna be a cosmetic crit

anivia's ult need to be the big circle, then the chill is applied and then the E is empowered. If you cast R and immediately E, its not empowered

So do caster minions

@@mjw2002mjwand ezreal

​@@soldjaroffortun3 even worse: Kai Sa

It gives me same vibes as dragonslayer twitch, precisely what you said

Just play Aurelion ffs

AND IT IS PUT IN ANOTHER DRAGON-LIKE CHAMPION, HOW ORIGINAL WOHOOOO

Not infinite, only up to 225 stacks

this makes me feel better, much better design, I just heard scaling and thought ''yeah thats infinite then'' @@eikinel

so we complained and made up things that werent true to be angry about? 😅😅@@CelestialThumper

I mean, when I heard 'grants a stack of passive, stacks increase damage yada yada'' without mention of a cap, its not unreasonable upon hearing to assume its infinite? Considering they've done it twice in the last two years? After he said it reaches 225 I looked at another video that explained more, and spoke here explaining what I said wasnt true, so why do you think I deserve flak for reading something at face value that wasn't fully explained here? I'm sorry if my first rushed youtube comment was taken as your credible source of information I guess, you do you, but dont blame me if its you that has a problem when I haven't acted out of sorts.

Man people are just being willfully ignorant now I guess. If there’s nothing in front of him in his short range he can’t reach that distance.

He’s lvl 15 with tiamat. And doesnt even one shot the wave. Use those 🧠👀

how so? it looks like severum's Q (minus the wall bypassing)

cause apparently ADCs arent allowed any kind of dash, utility or defensive abilitiy so that they keep dying to litterally everything @@magical571

​@@magical571because it's literally Asol's E but can change the direction mid air and it's way faster.

​@sedarium5307 but it only lasts for like 1 second. It's useful for kiting in tight corridors, but it's not really a true dash.

​​@@myonionatemydog3916 "tight corridors" he ignores terrain during it, its like a dash that you can steer

Senna Smolder botlane matchup. A new way to define the 0/10 powerspike

not realy he has no early waveclear also no good basedmg which will make him get fucked in midlane

i will completely shit on this champion with my entire champ pool if he went mid, please take him mid

this champ would get fucking annihilated if he went mid

@@twystd7952”entire champion pool” = zed.

People said the same with Jhin when he was revealed and he’s still a primary ad.

"if mom hits her son, she heals him" this doesnt sound right

Syndra

Stacks the same with veigar, except he has a much more consistent way of stacking off of minions. Could see him hitting max form in like 20 minutes.

Yeah but all of his abilities get more damage the more he stacks.

@@mjw2002mjw Okay, I wasn’t sure if I got that right. So basically an equivalent to Veigar getting AP per stack probably.

I'm just waiting for Riot to produce some originality with their kit design at this point... Every champion seems to be, Q - fire this aoe projectile, W - some steroid or another AOE projectie, E - some type of dash/ignore wall ability, R - Another larger AOE projectile with more range... Of course on top of some stacking passive that deals max % health and true damage and execute... It's all the same... I mean, i realize it's hard to be original after releasing over 160 champions... But by the look of Smolder's kit, it's basically Q = fireball (that evolves some special effects), W = another slightly bigger fireball, R = the biggest fireball... Idk, the designs seems really lazy... Interesting designs to me are something like Jhin... you have 4 shots, reload cooldown, 4th shot guaranteed crit, you can use W to root off teammates abilities, you can set traps with E to root yourself or protect from flanks, your ult is like something unique

​@@zennihilator3724A few simpler kits is perfectly fine and healthy for game longevity. The issue is when they incorporate new mechanics and gimmicks into a champion, they're filled to the brim with new gimmicks.

definitely gonna be played mid mainly, so safe with e just stand next to walls

@@The_fusion_physics_guy with the new map its harder to gank mid anyways too cuz the bushes are too far now

Hoping that he has atleast 4 different build paths like Varus

That's what I thought too. Serylda, Black cleaver sound like great items for him

Why would he build lethality when his abilities deal mostly magic damage, and he is a caster oriented adc like Ez and Corki and Lucian?

​@@LadyTsunade777Did we watch the same video? Only q does ap damage.

What's the point of building lethality when Dusk is literally snapped into oblivion next season.

Briar, Naafiri, and Milio literally aren't even a year old.

@@amethonys2798 do you understand the concept of humor

People also build collector on pantheon so...

Maybe it's because you have to hit with that specific ability to trigger it. While collector would cover the rest of your kit.

I was also wondering the same...

well, you do need 225 stacks for the exec sooo

whoever told u that, really was making fun of you or never played pantheon at all@@vermusl6316

they literaly just realesed a depressed maniac last patch what the fuck are you talking about

cry about it

%MaxHP true damage that's a AOE and an execute, mind you

with the current 12k hp tank meta... i wouldn't say no to more of it
