Smolder Ability Reveal | New Champion

[@mrwedge18]

Imagine you're fighting someone, they call for mommy, and then you just get obliterated by an air strike. 10/10 ult

[@nogerboher5266]

1. Passive that infinitely stacks damage on his abilities similar to veigar 2. built in % health damage 3. built in elder dragon in his Q 4. terrain ignoring skill that goes over walls 5. R that does massive damage and also heals naaaahhh thats not over the top kit

[@ArcaneYoink]

That’a hilarious

[@noahnas1587]

Imagine having abilities that block projectiles or makes your champ invulnerable or untargetable. I'm just saying there's already a lot worse, more unfair stuff in the game.

idk he kind of looks like a sphinx from above and its kinda cool

[@cokecan6169]

Looks like a pretty straightforward kit, I think that's great. Achoo also has a pretty visible windup unlike a certain new mage cough cough. W to engage, Q damage, and E to add a little more and move back out of range while main spells are on cooldown. The Q effects might get nerfed though.

[@AzuraNEKO14]

I think the design is combination between bat and dragon (for me is not that bad, but if the looks is more like toothless is better)

​@@eirgel38it is not seeing that's the problem. It is the feeling that it is off that make it less of a convincing character. I mean look mountain drake and shyvana are still very familiar, this little dude look like disney dragon gnar. I just ramble what word pop up but hopefully you can get what i am trying to say.

[@CirachanOW]

Honestly I think the only thing that may make his design less uncanny (particularly on the face) that wouldn't be too big of a change is just the odd placement of the skintone near his eyes that connects to his snout and the rest of his body, it's just too similar to that of a human or hybrid-esc design. Again, this is similar to what happened with Sonic as everyone else is mentioning 😅 If they managed to adjust that and the splash art-which IMO looks a tad better considering the artist made his snout and scales a bit more pronounced-I can for sure see him appealing to most everyone. Obviously I don't expect them to change the in-game model with too many extra details due to visual clarity and other nuances, but those 'minimal' adjustments feel the most practical all things considered.

[@petrusv8752]

bet he will be played as a lethality assassin. only way he wont is if his scaling is terrible.

I'm glad we're moving back into unusual designs for champions, I thought we would be lost in the age of "some guy with a weapon".

UGLY, TERRIBLE, AN ABERRATION, Riot never disappoints when the intention is to disappoint.

Little guy looks like a cursed child trapped in a dragons body, but he looks fun to play!

First time I like ingame model more than splashart

He's gonna have issues with that really short effective range in lane unless there is a scaling to his range. Kaisa can justify it because of her stealth dash and poking tools on top of a considerable shield ult. Samira can sorta compensate if she has a support that can apply CC, but she's currently terrible because she dies halfway through her ult channel in most scenarios through shieldbow and bloodthirster with the current burst meta, and the other short range ADC, Zeri, is also terrible right now.

Its almost like scaling champs aren't supposed to scale for free.

[@Kenny0136]

Did you forget lucian and nilah?

[@kareem199928]

His damage already scales with his passive, making his range scale too is overkill. He just won’t be good in lane like most scaling champions.

[@illusionofartYT]

His abilities look dope as hell!!! I like the design quite a bit too!!
