[@thebluefog8261]

I'm answering here because it is the newest comment but please don't overreact, guys, her base damages are extremely low, meaning she can rarely 1v1 someone except if very ahead. She will be very support and team reliant in my opinion, kinda like Kalista, so after they abuse her in pro play, they will nerf her into being almost useless and forgotten in SoloQ. Atleast this is my opinion

[@Ilidan9]

@@thebluefog8261 I played her against a Aatrox top lane, you just have to poke and go all in even pre 6. Against melee except jax, its pretty solid top lane pick. But! Dont expect to get plates early as you said her damage is extremly low. Oh and dont build death dance only bloodthirster. Death dance is useless on her. The healing you get is from BT is 20-30+ more Snowball potential is extreme, since she is also an Assasin

The "switch between melee and ranged" thing is interesting. The Q is kinda vanilla, which is honestly fine - it doesn't even need the combo with E that it has. The W is pretty unique. The E is basically an Akali ult, and the R is a straight up Katarina ult.

[@MrCmon113]

The "casual" players don't seem to complain about complexity in champs. That's usually the people, who spend 4+ hours on the game every day. And it's been that way ever since Riot has released more interesting champs than Warwick.

[@saijacks3464]

@@MrCmon113 rework ww is pretty pful

[@Xanit]

This isn't scaring casual players. It's luring and frustrating them. Riot wants them to watch people play Samira and think she's cool, then play the game and feel like they can't win unless they buy Samira, and since they're unlikely to have much BE after just joining, and can't gain BE by losing, they will buy her with RP. Then, as those players play Samira and get easy, unsatisfying wins, they are forcing more players to buy Samira to get wins. And they won't nerf Samira for months because this is so lucrative to them.

[@YareYare-ic4sb]

[@robertg.2111]

I just played a game with her as Maokai support, tbh I had no idea how her kit really worked, til now. They go extremely well together! She got a Penta on a 3V5 engage. Amumu, Maokai and Samira. It was a daredevil engage on my part, their team got a little out of position a few seconds after a skirmish, a trio chasing a lone Amumu crying for his mommy. The rest of the opposite team seconds away, I decided I wanted to play. Samira was of course right behind me. I keep CCing them toward Amumu during the fight. She seemed to like it, Amumu didn't, he kept crying while she was dancing in and out. She came out the only one alive, I died just before her last kill. I had "Evenshroud" + "Knight's vow", I just would not go down. I've replayed that fight in slow motion to learn, and maybe come out alive next time. It really was like dancing, the girl can Waltz. We didn't even try to run from Swain's Ult while on Zonya's effect, it was glorious.

[@Ic-gv2eo]

They DON'T is the thing. Champs like Shaco, Morgana, Nasus, and Yasuo exist. I think it's actually official that Riot DOES NOT CARE about making champs fun to play against. Especially referencing in this video how annoying the community finds abilities like Yasuo wind wall.

[@louisrobitaille5810]

@@Ic-gv2eo Shaco, Morgana, and Nasus fine to play against. If you don't like them, you're prob just bad. Yasuo can be a bit more annoying 'cause of his windwall and dashes, but if you use your brain, he becomes fun to play against.

[@jsephhd]

With a lot of new champions possessing the dash and blinks, it would be great if Riot designs new champions to counter the current meta. I can understand, these dash champion's purpose are the counter skill shot focused champions. These skill shot focused champions usually have a high learning curve as they would need several practices to land perfect shots. That being said there is an imbalance in the current meta with way more counters to skill shot champions (whom are usually players which have spent numerous hours practicing) to be defeated by simple playing dash champions e.g. Yone. I would love to see someone with Poppy's E intercepting dashes along with Cass's grounding and her poison (or the likes e.g. grievous wounds, burns etc.), acting to destroy specifically dashing and healing bruisers aka Sett and Irelia. Those two champions with the addition of Taliya would freshen up the experience of potential counters to an ultra dashing team composition. On the same topic of learning curves, there needs to be considerations of champions with low learning curves to be nerfed in a way that balances gameplay experience. These champions namely Yuumi are supposedly hated upon because of how easy her playstyle is with extremely low rate of punishment.

Samira isn’t inherently unbalanced tho. aphelios is hard to balance because of all the weapons and weapon combinations you have to account for.
