Prior to patch 14.2 Briar gained increased healing from all sources up to 50% based on her missing health. This was reduced to 40% but with added scaling based on 2.5% of her bonus health. At the end Zwag had 6958 health. Briar at level 18 has a base health of 2290. This means an extra 116.7% increased healing based on missing health for a total of 156.7% increased healing based on missing health.

​@qity5170 not exactly back in the day when they reworked wu kong the wu kong mains complained like crazy no matter what riot did to appease them. In one of the conversations with a random dev he mentioned that riot has over 200 years of collective game design experience and wu kong mains just let them have it. It didn't help that around the same time aphelios was released and that nailed the 200 meme down

[@neonshadow5005]

Reworks to champions won't matter much once RIOT introduces it's root-kit level anti-cheat "Vanguard", the same anti-cheat that drew a lot of fire from experts on how dangerous it was and caused Valorant to pretty much die on release. RIOT tried this before but the community's response ended it. Make sure we end it this time too.

[@theusernameicoodfind]

“They made someone who can run down udyr.” Yes Udyr, you built lethality.

[@GridicA]

so when you read the health gain on E, (700+), you also then need to look at your passive. Briar Passive increases ALL healing by X%, so it was more like 1400 over one second at that point.

[@fadhilyudistira8819]

with how free people are to create new builds, blade of the ruined king and mortal reminder are now basically become ADCs staple items vs top lane bruisers. just have to wonder how riot will try to balance out the current OTK nukes.

[@clayblob2]

i was Snickering so much during this gameplay. recently I've been trying Mundo, Only to find our Briar is Mundo 3.0 . My Favorite part is when as soon as you got the Triple kill mid Lane, the you checked the scoreboard and lux had anti-heal. but the FUNNIEST part of this video is when Udyr Salted you for being able to chase him down. and honestly...That's all I ever wanted from a champ....to chase cancerous Yortles and small champs.

The unending despair was part of the core build because Briar doesn't have regen. The new change affects all source of healing making unending despair broken source of healing.

[@roltgs53]

Day 2 asking zwag to try Full AP malignance blitzcrank, i discovered that the New item malignance can proc on blitzcrank ult passive and it also has no cooldown you could try to make a dps build with nashors and lethal tempo + mana items.

she can gain regen which scales with ur passive shield item also works too

[@janwilczynski6010]

Lux: "thanks will note, still learning". To say this after getting stomped, I appreciate the mindset. Asking for a tank Cassiopeia (on the Rift or the Abyss). Days asked: 311, days skipped: 7, winrate: 97.799% Come on, bring on the Heartsteel. You can make it work. Core items: Archangel's, Heartsteel OR Iceborn Gauntlet, Riftmaker (for HP to AP conversion) AND/OR Liandry's Situational items (pick some): Rod of Ages, Rylai's, Abbysal Mask, Spirit Visage OR Force of Nature, Gargoyle Stoneplate, Jak'Sho, Frozen Heart, Warmog's, pretty much any new tank item Primary runes: Grasp, Demolish, Conditioning, Overgrowth OR standard Conqueror. Secondary runes: Manaflow, Gathering Storm OR Presence of mind, Last stand. Extra facts: You want Archangel's first, because Cass is so mana hungry. Gauntlet might work, because with E you'll proc it often. Heartsteel will easily proc because you're ranged and fast. For the same reason Rylai's will be excellent for kiting, just like bruiser Ashe. Spirit Visage synergizes with your E healing and shielding granted by Seraph's and Gargoyle. Extra points for building all three! "My viewers BEGGED me for a Tank Cassiopeia build... And it's actually busted" My thanks for supporting this suggestion (in many ways) go to: GiovanniBoss, Lena Miaou, D.Lockholm, FashionSuckMan, Thaddeus Hill, Gustavo Martirena, Kuroji, Maja, Jänix Burger, Fitzgerald Stanbury Weiss the 5th.
