A Rell/Swain Duo called Nidalee/Yuumi Braindead so I made them into a Lesson | League 2v2v2v2 Arena

[@KingNidhogg]

If you dont keep up with my posts - I recently put one out asking about video duration because someone mentioned how they wished my videos were longer. Video duration is a result of a couple things: 1. game length (long rounds/spectate/buys), 2. editing (dead air/pauses/explanations), 3. intro, 4. memes. Sometimes they will be 12 minutes and others will be 18 minutes. I cannot possibly keep things at a consistent like "every video is at least 15 minutes" but what I CAN do is inject a lot more INFORMATIVE edits to push every video to about +1 minute or so. As such, I experimented with this one while trying to keep all the regular aspects of my videos (humor/gameplay) on par so let me know if you would enjoy this more or if it's slightly too much etcetc. Keep in mind that this is pretty context-based as I'm more willing to teach you about complex mechanics on champs im familiar with as opposed to just any random champion. Nidalee is certainly one of my favorite champs to demonstrate nuance on.

[@Azoi2006]

in my opinion its alright, i prefer shorter but more frequent videos

[@peristeronic5520]

Personally I like the longer stuff with the explanations. I think this video was well done

[@KingNidhogg]

was this a good length vahid@@vahidSabri6969

[@LoFiAxolotl]

a lot of people (ioki and heiz) put 2 games into each video i think that's what they're referring to? I like the consistent meme centric single game format you have

[@liseisdead]

it was great .

[@congobongoproductions5476]

not only your plays were absurd, the disrespect of micromanaging fighting Swain and Rell while shittalking them back was just perfection. keep up the great work

[@sheepjackmirai8909]

Imagine playing swain rell and call a nidalee braindead champion, like these dumbasses doesn't even realize how braindead swain rell is in arena lol.

Start at 13:15 🔥

[@faloughasch9239]

Gonna be honest man, I don't think it was the build that was broken, I think it was YOU. I knew Nidalee was a bit of a complicated champ with a high ceiling but jesus christ

[@KingNidhogg]

inb4 "glazing/doing tricks on it" ty bud but the augment combo was pretty bonkers if u think about blade applying on every ability HAHA. lets call it a combination of skill + augment luck + strong build

Dude by far this is my most favourite video of yours, the editing and explanation of your combos is so nice. It’s really easy to go on autopilot and watch these without appreciating the combos so it’s super satisfying to notice how much work your actually putting into the micro

[@madhatter5361]

0:23 That Swain R combo was insane. Top tier skills.

[@timesoftheazuressence247]

this was undoubtedly one of the most impressive games i have ever seen on this champ, my brain cannot comprehend how quick your thinking and fingers are

[@lightspawn4357]

Since big shields are always fun, here is an unconventional one and I think it'd be a cool combo for arena. Lee Sin has a 80% AP ratio on his w. I got paired with a Veigar and basically got 250 AP from the Promise-Item. 600 shields and essentially only one AP item.

[@nicjuzniemasensu4465]

A champ with ms buff and chauffeur attached to an on hit Janna or other ms scaler can get crazy fast. Maybe not very complex but looks fun. Also your nidalee is always fun to watch.

[@ataulfopendragon355]

Just discovered your channel, I also like playing goofy picks with my duo and trying new augments. The videos I've seen are pretty entretaining and also you're good af mechanically (at least in my silver eyes). New sub

play alistar poppy and go full tank wait the ring to close then push the enemies so they die to fire. it's a creative build and it takes a lot of skill

[@KingNidhogg]

least sarcastic comment haha

don't forget gragas too

i swear i always ban alistar, that fucker just builds with his burn augment and just cc everyone until you die to that said burn... bruh so fun

[@rawoo9385]

Fighting and typing back was such a POWERFUL FLEX

[@reubenmansfield5638]

i am completely sold by intro. can’t wait. - banger vid breakdown is 👌🏽

[@Rncko]

The amount of skills shown here and pressed was undeniable. The biggest outplay was ur Nidalee always back off at the exact last auto to die & heal shield back up for another trade. Very impressive. Forget about hand coordination, my eyes can hardly follow up ur movement in this vid.

[@jorgecorrea2762]

Your videos are so loaded with informations and high level gameplay. I'll try to watch a lot of your videos.

[@mehcaca]

Can someone explain how Nid rezzed at full health at 15:50? Typically players come back around 20-30% health no?

[@KingNidhogg]

it sometimes does that - super weird

[@gogolegends3]

I think the rez scales with heal/shield power

[@mehcaca]

@@KingNidhogg Huh, def weird. Worked out in your favor at least!

[@Rumen35]

Really love these videos, kind of therapeutic to watch before bed

[@lukk.ferreira]

I always pick up hextech gunblade with this ADAPt, its omnivamp and like 200 AP. Really good item.

[@rodent1v9]

you should do more videos with this combo, your mechanics are so satisfying

[@ratdisorder]

idk if anyone knows this already but soul siphon applies to spell crit also so if you get jewelled gauntlet the crits on your spells heal you also

[@WILLIAM05PJ]

Your mechanics on that champ are actually insane, love your vids.

[@veyran8432]

you are disgustingly good at so much bro, it's inspiring to me

[@salj.5459]

The part where they were typing while fighting was hilarious

[@bllllllllackbirdie]

the ad/ap converters are by far (together with ethereal weapons) my most favourite augments. they add so much variety to the game.

[@eamono]

Sunderer is sick, I was thinking Guinsoo's tho! You get value from AD items' crit, and it themes with your on-hit

[@Ghost-tp7vx]

I geniuenly think swain is medium hard in summoners rift because of the kiting and his short range, but in arena playing swain is incredibly braindead, if you get phenomenal evil u just go tank with rabadons and insta win the game, while nidalee is one of the hardest champs both on the rift and in arena

[@c.j.8263]

unless you play him top and go rod of ages, then he's just as brainless as in arena

[@MrYays]

Hilarious. Nice ramping up the intro humor

[@DaveWisher]

Neat video! Nidalee is my favorite. Not a big fan of Yuumi, but I always love to see Nidalee and Yuumi team up. 👍

[@DerekFever]

This is awesome! The two cats made an awesome duo!

[@RoyFever]

Please don't forget about the awesome Book! 😆

[@XxFlyingNinjaxX72]

OH! I didn't realize they balanced the conversion from ad to ap, I assumed it was shit bc ad values with this aug were just troll. I might try this with some cheese build now.

[@zv_real]

I like that you can still argue with them in chat while styling on them so hard XD

[@truv_]

the swain and rell have no frontal lobe :D

would it be optional to go battlemage nidalee with adapt? with nashors tooth riftmaker ravenous hydra and steraks or anathemas chains? i would try it out myself but i can't play nidalee

[@KingNidhogg]

can

this was def one of the more instersting build setups looks fun as fuck

Inspired by this channel, I tried Nida in arena, and realized that i just don't have the required apm to control her.

How old were you when you started practicing nidaler

[@stareovi9227]

You can almost hear their retainers through the chat messages

[@randomnesscythe6028]

do you think that heartsteel would have worked with titanic to funnel some ad into ap?

[@KingNidhogg]

too small

[@StellarisVT]

Watching a swain player complain is fucking catharsis, thank you for doing the lords work.

[@xaius4348]

I have seen this duo once before, and it actually was a bit toxic, but played vastly differently. Yuumi + any assassin/high mobility champ can be played as stall in arena, going purely for surviving the fire.

[@bao1964]

Adapt is such a bonker augment. I had it on Kassadin once and yeah, Axiom Arcis insane.

what a perfect set of opponents for this build too nice vod

[@xaius4348]

Angel of retribution could have been cool. I go a lot of thresh in arena, and its fun on him for the 100% attack speed. You need Locket or redemption to complete the quest though. Heal sword is optional.

[@GHKiwi]

I don't understand how that swain can be so clueless... It's genuinely scary to me that people can be so unaware and unable to look at themselves objectively...

[@fluffymoose1129]

i do appreciate the edits

[@andrewferguson6901]

I'm sorry, was that a kimchi slap I heard in there? Bro I'll never get to emerald with nid that's just too high expectations

[@kador7182]

I think that the conversion is 1 ap = 0.6 ad

[@dominiccerezo6795]

Gotta try Zed Ethereal weapon, and go on hit , shurikens and slashes from shadow

[@akashinisshoki74]

its unrelated to the video but i just wanna say that i got ADAPt, master of duality and marksmage as katarina. Katarina ult all counts as attacks so you can get insane AP from MoD and with ADAPt, all of the AD from MoD by casting abilities is immediately converted into AP, combine that with physical dmg based on 100% AP, then you get a fuckin monster (i got over 11k dmg with marksmage from one very short round)

[@Antonin1738]

I keep forgetting the kimchi slap

[@TyoFires]

nah typing back mid fight is just class

[@gabegreener5038]

Wait why didn’t you sell the starter item?

[@KingNidhogg]

too poor

[@koin799]

7:45 this should not work, you can't use things like blitz e with viego ult (applies on hit). Maybe riot spaghetti on etheral weapon tho I dunno

[@zebruh7490]

Autoattack modifiers are just very inconsistent. Some are on-hit, some are on-attack. I'm not sure if it's patched or not but you can find Ethereal Weapons Gragas videos on KZbin where his W definitely applies on his other abilities.

What a sick vod

[@frostymfj]

The 10% boost is added regardless if you go ad or not fwi. go roa, muramana, gunblade, and rabadons will optimize the amount of stats and easily get ~1200 ap full build. I just find it funny to get that strong with such a wonky build lulz

Is there a reason you didn't go for Gunblade? It would've given more than 200 AP on its own. (I know you sometimes don't go for stuff that's potentially just busted, and choose more fun choices, which is why I'm asking)

Holy Fire doesn't need to be on your teammate. Healing youself also counts for that Augment. It's just an absudly broken rune and propbably the one that can apply most burn stacks out of all of them.

how about you win a game using only sunfire damage?

Ethereal weapons lets you instantly proc eclipse on any single ability (had fun with khazix). Also had fun with black cleaver and this "infernal axe" Item which procs the former immediately to 6 stacks.

[@flamemaster4430]

dude you are gifted. keep it up

[@docrun3516]

Just throwing the idea in there for future videos where yuumi is included. If yuumi buys knights vow, she takes a % of your dmg for herself, thus making her HP as a ressource actually usable and also yuumi gets healed by % of your dmg, which 'could' make holy fire work, but im not 100% sure on that whether or not that counts as YOU healing Yuumi, or knights vow healing yuumi through yuumi
