"She can't dash through walls." Yet...

[@justhair17]

Pretty sure her ult can

[@worldiefeard8396]

To be honest her ult being able to yoink someone behind a wall would be the least of the problems even if it could, since she is forced to use it offensively anyway and cant just yeet herself out like Yone f.e. The main deal of "can't dash through wall" is that at least you can corner her.

[@thejestor9378]

@@worldiefeard8396Even her regular dashes are forced to be used for offense as she can only dash off usage of her abilities like kalista off her attacks. And unless Ambessa is attacking, her energy won’t regen fast enough to keep dashing past like three to four dashes.. and her dashes are very short range. Nikki has gameplay with her already and she is a great engage champ, horrible escape capability.

[@twenycents]

@@thejestor9378 Look the vandiril video then, with 40 ah at lvl 11, she can do 19 dashes in 30s thanks to her passive giving back energy, and at lvl 18 with 100 ah she can dash 26 times in 30s, and with her r passive giving her so much armor pen + lifesteal on abilities, she doesn't need to escape

They only gave her energy as a means to make it harder to run away. Since she can only get energy back by hitting enemy champions this means she like Briar can only play offensively and all in. Unlike Riven who can just flip about whenever and go in at an opportune moment. Because remember Energy is like having a mana pool of 200 with a base regen that's unmodifiable. Which is actually a big brain way to balance her somewhat even though her kit is still 200 years pepega.

What's the other effect of that slow ability if you don't mind me asking?

[@sadtoast6466]

​@50_foot_punch99 movement speed and attack speed for like 2ish seconds

[@Naarii14]

Idk if it's really fair but the power of blitz Q and bring able yo position quickly to use it still make the slow make sense imo. A blitz q should be an instant pick every time after all

[@thanhao5500]

I was there when he was nerf, my low elo ass was so happy because his W can roam and run up to you just to hit E Q

lol i hope they keep it if blitz gets reworked

[@jubbalubby]

8:08 if you tell me in 2012 that a champion has a kit that lets her dash away from me ONLY twice, without flash or whatever else, I'll just implode on the spot.

[@xavierburval4128]

6:30 Next champion has Belveth q on every ability

[@fernandozamoramata5372]

Or every right click just blinks to the location instead of walking in a straight line...

[@zaclittlejohn2701]

Kalis'veth. Every autoattack and every ability gives you a dash. Attack speed scales dash length and consecutive dashes scale attack range (starting range 300 so they benefit from technically being melee for items.

sylas passive is a better lee passive, now we have Ambessa with a better sylas passive

[@abelsonkutan9920]

@@seisoch6969 In a way, yes. But the point for Sylas's passive is to give him damage between spells. Lee's main goal to get his energy back. Ambessa does both.

I think this is riots way of dealing with the few scripters that still exist not even a script is gonna hit that

[@tarinindell8217]

Been playing League since late s1. Ive always preferred poke mages and more traditional adcs. But the amount of mobility and cc just got too much for me. I simply wasnt having fun anymore. I finally gave up and uninstalled about 2 months ago. Still watching worlds, still gonna watch Arcane, still gonna watch lore videos. And then they drop Ambessa, and justify my decision. She looks like the only person who will be having fun on the rift is the person playing her, to the exclusion of all others.

[@midknightcrisis8612]

Y'know, that actually fits her "all is unworthy but what I consider my own" personality pretty well

[@Gamer9o]

Amen ... also love poke champs ... assassin and mages ( assassin -> ... naafiri xD ) but as a mage .. who usually dont have much mobility .... like brand ... anivia ... Vel'Koz ..... but every over loaded champ they release ... those champs feel more and more under tuned .... sure they all have cc .... but overloaded champs shrugh cc faster than you can throw them ... well this is only silver player opinion but .. its still an opinion

[@Airin258]

My Anivia is crying looking at that kit. Vel'koz too. Hwei and Viktor hold up somehow, because their poke is pretty hard to avoid, but it's painful.

[@TheDeadGunslinger]

Her passive lets you que up auto attacks as well, which causes her to dash and auto, with increased auto range and damage, meaning she's Kalista+. She gets an ability, an auto, and a dash, all for free. Kalista just gets an auto and a dash.

[@AshBlossomWorshiper]

Her massage Voice Line had me lining up to the Noxian Conscription offices

I have a feeling her type is someone like Ezreal, Akshan or Hwei though. So if you are a skinny, pretty-boy, you may have a good chance

What do you mean your champ doesn’t have 4 dashes, aoe, regen on ability, infinite secondary ressource regen and is tanky?

[@warlocke1894]

Hwei's kit isnt really problematic just his numbers are

[@Airin258]

Hwei kit is your general mage, just more versatile in what exactly he does. He doesn't really do a lot of fancy stuff, abilities are basically a damaging skillshot/aoe (most are pretty much avoidable) with single additional effect, like slow. Only mobility tool he gets is WQ, which is a ms increase in specific zone, and passive is basically here just to encourage going combos from different colours. I'd say my only real complaint is that his ult - too much damage to be unavoidable.

[@warlocke1894]

@@Airin258 yup pretty much it thats my problem with yone, ksante, and akshan. Their kit is just too overloaded rather than versatile like Hwei.
