Hwei is an over-complicated Disaster... and that couldn't be more perfect || Casual Champion Review

[@bectip2229]

i like that his clothes are dull and somewhat dirty-looking: not only it conveys the lack of care he has for his appearance (any shut-in artist can relate lmao), it also symbolizes his suppressed nature once you compare them to the vibrant colour of his spells

I like Hwei's looks! It's like a "realistic" Runeterra version of the freelance artist: depressed, sleep-deprived, malnourished, so busy/commited to the craft he can't even manage to be angry when given The Sad Backstory, and wearing the ionian version of a tracksuit. Also is Vitamin D deficient

[@rcbinchicken]

damn spitting facts there

[@Stolanis]

His lack of anger always seemed to me to be more trauma-related than a matter of being busy or fatigued. On the day that Jhin did the Big Destroy, it came as such a surprise to Hwei and things happened so quickly that he couldn't understand what was happening. Hwei felt sadness, anger, loss, but also perhaps gratitude and happiness at Jhin destroying his 'cage', contradictions that maybe Hwei felt he wasn't 'allowed' to feel. That's how I interpret Hwei's abilities: they're him trying to process a whole glut of emotions in the aftermath of Jhin's destruction, anchored to that point in his past and yet irreparably colouring his perception of the world and himself as he tries to move on. Perhaps the reason Hwei is depressed isn't because he's sad, but because his emotions are so intense that he can't let himself feel them all at once or else it would break him. His art is so focused on singular themes as a way of compartmentalising emotions and memories, letting him re-experience and deal with them one by one, reducing the emotional burden bit by bit so he can slowly make his way back to a place where his emotions are less heavy, less scary. I really like the idea of Hwei's art as therapy. It makes a lot of sense to me.

[@jerryhook5906]

The reason the temple would "welcome a serial murderer" is because Khada Jhin is an alias and he wears a mask. Take off the mask and drop the stage name, and suddenly Jhin is just an eccentric guy. *That* is who they allowed to stay with them.

[@blipebarretto]

I think Hwei's clothing also are supposed to contrast with Jhin, they both have purple, but Jhin's cloth looks fancier, like he's more vain. Jhin is a egotistical and prideful artist, while Hwei is quite literally a humble monk. Jhin has gold ornaments and contraptions, Hwei only has very delicate fabrics. Jhin is always in the center stage of his performances, he wants the recognition, the "applause", Hwei is more "the art speaks for itself, the body is only the medium it speaks through". Also, Jhin has a patron, Hwei is quite literally the poor starving artist with no home.

[@the_last_ballad]

Jhin and Hwei didn't fight, Jhin just noticed that Hwei was holding back and confronted him on it. Hwei then showed him what he was hiding, it was a vulnerable moment, not a violent one.

[@tearie4150]

I feel like Im going insane because I think why jhin and hwei aren't just a revenge story is because they have almost a Hannibal/will Graham relationship It's toxic but jhin unlocked hwei and sees him as an equal (hwei challenges jhins view of art and jhin challenges hweis morality and makes him push the boundaries that hwei was kinda reluctant to unlock only hiding his fascination in the dark)

[@Stolanis]

Yes, I'd say that's a lot more accurate than mere revenge. In his voice lines, Hwei has a very love/hate relationship with Jhin: Hwei recognises Jhin both as the source of extreme violence and pain in his life, but also as the catalyst that allowed him and his art to break free from tradition and expectation to become more true to himself and his experience. In the voice lines that trigger when Hwei slays Jhin, he isn't angry or vengeful, but rather he sounds like he wants Jhin to understand what he's been through and how Jhin helped him to grow (not that this would happen because Jhin is 100% a psychopath, but still).

[@steelsynth]

My one fear is that Riot will take the wrong idea from Hwei's winrate and turn him into the next K'Sante even though he was obviously designed with a high skill floor and next season's items in mind.

[@Yinsashi7981]

I think Hwei's sunken cheeks and lanky frame reflects the phrase "starving artist". Whether that was done purposefully or not is to be determined xD

[@Zorroark]

You say that it's surprising how Hwei wasn't in the boy band in the end card, do you remember the backlash Riot got last time they coincided a champion's release with a music video? I really don't think Riot wants to have another Seraphine situation so they played it safe and if Heartsteel gets a second go he's 100% going to be a part of it, they probably also didn't want Hwei's story to be overshadowed by the boy band stuff either.

[@zoey3254]

[@S0l1tud3]

Personally, I like all aspects of Hwei's character. His gameplay feels complex and interesting (a lot like his character's personality/emotions). His clothing and walk animation portray his apathetic emptiness very well. His color scheme also conveys his character well, with the only bright part of his character being his paint smear hovering behind him, the volatile and potentially dangerous part of him that he has to decide between containing it for the sake of others, or becoming similar to Jhin and unleashing his creativity at the expense of others. I also love difficult-to-play control mages like Viktor and Azir, so adding Hwei to that line-up is really nice. Overall, he feels engaging and coherent in gameplay, lore, and design, which makes him the first new character that I've really wanted to play in a long time.

[@silverdragonoid]

From the start, I interpreted all the gold and demon hints as references to Jhin because he's "The Golden Demon". And I'm honestly glad they gave Hwei proper paint magic, as was teased since the very first teaser and confirmed during champion roadmaps, instead of suddenly tying those powers to a demon. I like demons, but I prefer this a lot more and it's what I got hyped for, so I would have felt cheated if it turned out to be just demon power

[@1Henrink]

I kinda like his colors being muted, makes me think how it is easy to see him in the middle of his abilities , since it's such a contrast.

[@ridori7376]

I actually find him surprisingly simple to play. Sure I still need to get used to him and sometimes I have a brain fart and mess up my inputs but he really isn't that difficult. I think what helps is that all of his abilities are very straight forward. He doesn't have a dash or cooldown resets or weird overcomplicated passives, just a wide array of simple abilities with different uses. Riot showed a surprising amount of restraint here.

[@pyrojkl]

exactly, i think they did a good job in keeping his design simply while fitting the theme and giving you a lot of variety in which spells to choose

[@thepandrbr]

they wanted to make an artillery mage, and they mage an artillery mage. Riot did a pretty good job on this one

[@dekhain3284]

Yeah, at first I heard that "Oh League got Invoker!" and went "Oh no, that won't go well there". But nah, he's pretty simple, each color is a type of spell, go nuts. Good execution for League's ecosystem.

[@Rostotosto8542]

I like his colors the most from his outfit! Looking dull is exactly what is going on in his head and if he looked all uptight and slick it would be wierd. The overall green color he has really reminds me of the color that you get as a result of cleaning your brushes in a rug, and to a champion all about paint its super nice! Also colors mashed up together quite chaotically symbolizes that he doesnt know how to proceed out of the "paths" laid in front of him, which is his main struggle, the only solid color he has is golden that is the main color of his ultimate, foreshadowing (I hope) that he wont have fullfilment out of picking a path, the strengh in art is that it can makes us feel a lot of different things and one type of art will never be above another, its all about what Hwei feels the need to create. Once he realizes that he can not be such a mess. Or maybe an azakana is feeding on his negativity and once he deals with them he will have closure. Idk its too early to tell.

[@zaccline7143]

I gotta feeling that when Jhin went into the temple, he probably didn’t have his traditional outfit or had a different mask. Something that didn’t make him super obvious

[@Feedback099]

Maybe he went without his mask. Remember that he has a common face under his mask

[@sithguy20awesome]

It may have been before Jhin was infamous, Hwei isn't exactly young (early to mid 30s.) And it's unclear how old he and Jhin were when they met, the events between them easily could have happened a decade or more ago.

Ive decided Hwei and Jhin are now classified as "Number Champions"

[@JayStorm199]

Iirc Jhin was never revealed as the golden demon to the public bc it would cause unrest that an ionian did it instead of a demon. Also Hwei is looking for Jhin, wanting answers not just going out helping people.

[@Milkiia]

I personaly very like his design. The dull color, with a peak a vibrant orange and red is selling the idea that he is moody but with a wild imagination

[@SomberP]

My crockpot theory is that they let Jhin stay there because they low key wanted him to kill Hwei. But then Jhin was interested in Hwei’s chaotic energy and decided he liked him. So he did the whole thing where he challenged Hwei to show him his true passion or whatever, and then killed the rest of the masters and burnt the temple in a way that Hwei would think he did it.

[@inigo137]

I dont get people calling this champion complicated, it's actually desgned to be really simple to understand. q- dmg (normal, artillery, waveclear) w- utility (speed, shield, mana) e- cc (fear, root, displacement) That's pretty much it, obviously there's more depth to it but it's not hard to understand

[@anigodzapex9384]

He has a normal Mage Kit, but has access to one of 3 Main Ability Options. Combos Trees are possible, but every Q-W-E Share the cooldown Respectivly. Its not to agonizing as it feels at first. Everything is about Number 3, Edgelords are always Welcome for me and as someone who loves Art and Sound Design, am I very satisfied with him!

[@somo4227]

i feel like saying he has 9 abilities is super missleading he has 3 abilities but each ability can be cast in a different way, utility kinda drives away from that by giving different efects but it's not hard to remember,speedzone nami buff and shield lol

[@xolotltolox7626]

If he actually had access to all 3 Qs, Ws and Es at the same time, he would actually be complicated, and also way cooler than he is right now. Rn his entire depth is just choosing which E to combo into which Q and then follow up with WE to regain some mana and do some followup damage And then you just spam Qs until your other abilities come off cooldown

[@pyrojkl]

@@somo4227 almost like how vicktor augments could have been. Choose between dif augment items as a permanent change in how his abilities work the rest of the game. but instead he just has it as part of his kit instead of as an ability upgrade like so many other champs have

[@yeen.7209]

honestly yeah. i watched a quick video on some extremely basic concepts as to how he's played (q/e for waveclear and w/e for mana regain, fish for e/x abilities and take advantage of what you get) and then branched from that into actually playing him somewhat proficiently. he's a LOT of fun and i honestly haven't had as much fun playing league as i have playing him it's beyond satisfying to be able to have a plan in mind and seamlessly execute it, even while under pressure. his kit just.. flows really well from ability to ability. like, his most basic combo is e-q-q-q lmao

[@hakonolsen8814]

It would be a fantastic character plot twist if Hwei wasnt to rival Jhin, but instead to join him. If he at all felt beauty in seing his temple in flames, it would already make sense for him to join Jhin, as they have similar interests in art. Maybe if Hwei joined Jhin he would show him his full potential, and then Jhin would show him the dark side of it. But maybe instead of being tempted to join the dark side like Jhin, he would remain neutral. Not being a nice guy, but also not a bad guy.

So, it wasn’t a relationship to a literal demon, but Hwei does have a connection to the Golden Demon. It’s a bit of a cop out, but could be interesting to see how Zed and Shen interact with Hwei in future lore.

[@niffry]

I apparently bought Hwei right after his release but, because of irl stuff, never really had the time, energy or motivation to try him out. Now almost a year later I downloaded league on a new PC to try out Swarm, remembered I had Hwei, decided to try his spells out in the practice mode, for some reason think "his Q's kinda remind me of Vel'koz" (who I mained for a while), and then proceed to actually have fun learning him in regular PvP games.

The general population believes that Jhin was a demon who was destroyed or otherwise pacified when in reality he was just inprisoned. Jhin is also a master of disguise (on an old Q&A board i believe it was even confirmed that he can manipulate his facial structure) so he could have just went there in disguise and told them that he was a totally different guy named Jhin.

Really glad Hwei got a "color" story, but Naafiri srsly needs one...idk about Briar her whole deal is weird. K'sante could have been high-skillcap if the result wasn't simply stunlock the enemy if 1 ability lands, there should be a 1 sec unit target CD that stops him from CCing repeatedly to the same unit like it is for Aatrox kinda, but this would still let him cast abilities and CC other units. It would be REALLY silly for them 2 stop color stories. Stuff like Arcan only exists bc it can play off the existing IP, if u reduce ur IP then u reduce what your other engagement can pull from, they want people to engage in the lore, but there won't be anything to engage in, in ANY media if u dont start with the basics, and TAKE CARE OF YOUR WRITERS!!!!

Can you please turn on the mana cost?

Jhin uses a mask hide his identity like any other serial killer

[@cristodemonte1690]

about Jhin, people know of the golden demon of Ionïa, but who actually know's of Jhin ? The killer named the golden Demon was captured, and bring to justice by shen and Zed Master, and this cabale of Ionïa use him has a weapon againt's Noxian, but does the populace actually KNOW his face of his appareance ?

Even Akali, Shen'w former apprentice working DIRECTLY under him, had no idea who he was or what it meant.

Invoker in Dota 1 had 27 spells. In Dota 2 he now has 10 spells.

[@fish-kt4iq]

No old invoker had 27 spells was immediately removed after a few months, he was then reworked and added back in 2008 with his 10 spells.

Ah yes, the physical personification of artists block.

bro how baffled I was when Hwei came out and literal supports had more dmg and a bigger health pool.

[@edivaldosantos8321]

I don't care about people complaining about his looking or saying that his abilities are copy/past from others. I never had so much fun playing a lol champion before. He is amazing, so many options and possibilities of gameplay. Maybe because i'm also a MMORPG player, so i'm used to have many skills to use. Playing with Hwei feels like playing with a mage from world of warcraft. I loved it.

Finally the perfect friend for Amumu

[@Malcador-TWOM]

Didn't think Nicki would like Hwei, that was unexpected

[@14Ghost14]
