Smolder just got the biggest buff in history and I show you why... (RIOT MESSED UP)

[@michelleclifton3445]

Thanks for being so positive, Zwag. I was the support and appreciate you not being mean, and am now giddy to be in your video. Keep being amazing:) :)

[@awesomeflippergamer]

I mean ur nautilus, not much u can do here sadly. Especially if ur adc is garbo

[@leonamarte2429]

did you know there's a rare smolder voiceline where he says "My mom works at Riot, and she's going to ban you"

[@el-nathan]

I believe it's a taunt or response to a taunt

[@YoshikageKiraDisapproves]

It's on his CTRL + 2 Taunt / Emote for anyone wondering

[@shurikend]

Didn't she get fired from riot tho ?

[@nailinthefashion]

Yeah I knew that did you know his mom is my mom tho

[@shurikend]

[@alyxyo]

Now that Zwag gave me a Vex video(Thanks again) It's Day 1 of supporting the APhelios guy

[@hiimspee828]

25:30 that wasn't "lived with 7 hp" it was THREE haha

[@ARM0RP0WER]

i dont understand getting collectors on smolder you already have a exacute if you get a second one then one of them is never going to proc since it doesnt stack the threshold

[@xydem]

pretty sure it's mostly for the crit chance and lethality. but smolder's execute has some limitations in that it will only execute if they are currently being burned by his Q and autos. so there are some situations where the collector execute will go off and net you a kill, such as from hitting any of his other abilities, scorch, ignite, item burn damage like liandry's, them ticking down from death's dance damage, etc.

[@Ghost_User200]

​​@@xydemshieldbow is better imo, specially against that kind of teams with dashes, cc and a lot of dmg. But Collector is not a bad item tho, you have a 100% execute chance.

[@OHYisWatching]

Because his execute is only on his Q... with collector the rest of his kit can execute too

[@vicbsst]

If you want lethality just go for hubris plus you are stacking ad on kills and you have a decent amount of haste, collector isn’t that good on the champ

[@kyleberts]

“Did Zwag get the first 6 CS?” No, he missed a melee minion Lose Streak: 4

[@poosandwich5950]

he won tho?

[@derk6]

Frist 6 cs streaks not wins or loses​@@poosandwich5950

Thank you Kyle

[@mrleonehart]

I came to the comments looking for this lol

[@yellowdrangon]

Wow I didn't expect a win....If I was a betting man, I would have lost BIG!

[@Zwag]

After rewatching my team played the last fight perfectly everyone landed their ult at the same time

[@surfbort]

It was so worth watching just for that last team fight. Fuck yeah

[@operatchick6486]

23:40 Haha they didn't get Herald! It was at a sliver of health and despawned when Baron spawned.

[@aintnobodylikeu]

OHHHHH

[@PartiallyCatto]

5:07 I love how he sounds so monotone here lol

[@Ryan-go9wc]

Day 1 of me thanking Zwag for these videos. Got me and my wife through some rough times. Neither of us play league if that tells you how good you are at making these.

[@MrGlitnir]

[@JacoDeltaco]

I hate when people say diff or gap since its a team game and you gain nothing for making your bad team mate feel even worst ... That being said that Wukong got dunk so hard

[@3delweiss239]

That's always what I'm wondering about. Like you just sabotage yourself in provoking your mates to play even worse...

[@AbsorbEd20]

lol, that’s true. I like to say x Gap when we’re winning in team chat. It doesn’t tilt anyone and it makes my team feel better 💯

[@RagnarokCo]

especially coming from the most useless member 90% of the time

[@awesomeflippergamer]

uhh they only won because zwag HARD diffed mid. team game or not if they have super fed champs like a fed katarina, akali, mel, etc, u basically cannot win unless they intentionally run it down. and a good kat skill could win 1v5 if fed hard enough since u just dash all the cc

[@RagnarokCo]

@@awesomeflippergamer If you'd watch Zwag videos you know this isn't true. He gets SUPER fed and loses all the time. And the comment is about insulting your teammates not helping you win, just making your loss more likely.

[@Zethneralith]

Smolder is my second-favorite champion, so I'm always glad when I see more Zwag content with him.

35:10 the most jawbreaking zwag moment I've ever seen

[@jaredbush6906]

I havent played league in over a year but i love watching zwag! Day one of wishing zwag would make another channel to try a random game each weekend 🎉

[@FzsHotDogInDonut]

smolder got stack even when q did not kill it. it was inflight. damn. 2:13

[@FranzCrowley]

It is an intended feature that if a q is flying towards a minion and the minion dies before it hits, it gives the stack

[@OHYisWatching]

Reading patch notes is overrated

[@FzsHotDogInDonut]

@@OHYisWatching yaaap

[@FzsHotDogInDonut]

@ just figured it out. So it's same mechanic as cassio e.

[@BasedUnc]

the emotional rollercoasters i go through watching your vids 😭

[@hiddentruth1982]

Does i.e. still negate all crit except what it gives? If I remember right it gives 200%

[@sebastianwilson8541]

9:00 why no ult? He already used W

[@delaneycharlie4521]

he would rather complain

[@golden-sun]

so im not the only one who thought this buff sounded crazy

[@RekijanGaming]

@Zwag did you see a chiropractor after this match?

[@tcgoober]

Is smolder a veigar?

[@justcuz7701]

Best smolder line is "Look at me I'm people"

[@motastic1714]

that Q at the end was wild...insaneeeee

[@starcraft2own]

So riot designed Q to work as a crit replacement and someone at riot then figured that if Q is a crit replacement that it should benefit from increased crit damage? I mean it makes sense from a dev standpoint but they DESIGNED Q with it's current damage numbers, did they forget 40% extra damage is going to make it 40% stronger than it used to be just for internal logic??

[@IceWraith101]

As a briar main, watching that first fight made me very very sad.

Fire the ult backwards and the dragon fire will come from behind yasuo, forcing him to either tank it or windwall the wrong direction.

Yo I have a good idea you should play a max ad udyr

[@PsychicPi]

I've never played the game before, so I wouldn't know for sure, but wouldn't Collector be useless because Smolder already has an execute

[@Bubb12]

Ik this is low elo but, why the matchmaking always give you either the worst team that try hard to lose or the enemy team get it, its like the match already decided before the game even start and your only choice is to 1v9 if you want to win

[@Arkecalaa]

Zwag can we get a K'sante on-hit build pls🙏🏻

[@doubledubbs9733]

Zwag sadly lost seven cannons

[@TheLastGhostLegendario]

I dont know but this types of games is only the few exceptions when all your team except yourself is gapped, the enemy keeps splitpushing and for some reason your team is or mid doing nothing or going top/bot (the wrong place to be) hunting a guy that you only needed like 1 person to defend doing a Conga and you end up lossing because they literally eat your nexus, because 4 people of your team is bussy running to kill a Singed half the game, even for obectives this games happens too, baron and the new monster is up and they are doing weird stuff at bot when there is no dragon + all you said in the video. Its like wow i am bussy defending my lane, the enemy toplaner just destroyed 2 towers and is there, i wonder what my team is doing... and is trying to dive bot for like 3 minuts without getting a kill, fantastic. 16:17 this is a good example, the f is doing wukong in mid whenirelia is destroying the tower for free? also 1 minut later with yasuo, And btw he is the problem, ziggs is doing what he can farming his lane, Briar is clearing his camps and wukong is half game doing nothing, and now briar and Nautilus and Ziggs needs to compensate for the work and they dont have much movility and with a hullbreaker feeded champ you dont have the luxury to be late, also the tanks arent tankin...welp idk how you won but holy GG. Final edit, is funny how at the end you just end literally solo killing the entirelly enemy team by yourself, seriusly i understand that some people doesnt have hands but pls have enough brain to back up the best player on the lobby (aka Zwag) and not some random dude that keeps dieing.

[@Th3Ewok]

Hell of a game Zwag

[@nailinthefashion]

I bet Smolder smells like cinnamon and cheetos

[@YourBishMariaTeresa]

For Spanish speakers, while ulting Yasuo says "Soy El reggaeton" 🤣

[@dimitarkolev7594]

Isn't collector execute threshold lower than Smolder Q execute, making the item kinda useless or does it work some other way?

[@xydem]

pretty sure it's mostly for the crit chance and lethality. but smolder's execute has some limitations in that it will only execute if they are currently being burned by his Q and autos. so there are some situations where the collector execute will go off and net you a kill, such as from hitting any of his other abilities, scorch, ignite, item burn damage like liandry's, them ticking down from death's dance damage, etc.

[@SPQRCJ97]

why is building collector when he can build rapis fire cannon

[@HòaTrần-j7p]

At a point I forgot that Amumu was in the game, so when you just said a moo moo Ult, i just don't get what you said T.T

[@games4dayz]

wait why collector when smolder already has an execute? i get lethality is good but it's a bit redundant when shieldbow is great defense for irelia/yasuo

[@GustavoOliverXD]

30 gold per kill, and you can sell it later

[@glurak_xyz8275]

@@GustavoOliverXD but before u sell u have to “waste“ an item

[@glurak_xyz8275]

ye 6.25% execute vs 5% execute I believe

@@GustavoOliverXD very true and he was snowballing hard but the gold income was becoming negligible and he likely would survive or at least burn more resources from enemy team with shieldbow
