SUPPORT AP BURN SMOLDER = FREE WINS! TEAM THOUGHT I WAS TROLLING! PROVED THEM WRONG! MUST TRY!

[@miriazita]

I do not recommend building Sorcerer's Shoes... Smolder deals physical damage, so you get no use of the Magic Pen :/ Great video tho! AP Smolder is really fun to play ^-^

[@TheAnalyst8]

@miriazita thank you for taking the time to comment. The reason I used Sorc shoes was because most of my damage was magic damage from my items. So my items could do the most damage, I resorted to building magic pen boots.

Your 400th sub

[@TheAnalyst8]

@averagesky8549 thank you very much for letting me know! ANDDDD thank you so much for the support! It means so much to me!

[@greensabr200]

I'm a sucker for off meta picks. Peaked d3, currently been bouncing between p1 and even dropped to g1 at one point lol. I'm sitting at p2 atm though and have been playing a lot of smolder mid. Kinda want to try some ap smolder, thought I'm pretty sure it'll suck compared to ad lol

[@TheAnalyst8]

@greensabr200 burn smolder is fun however he is meant to go ad. Definitely going to do a video on ad smolder as it is fun especially support! Maybe ad with liandry burn 😎

[@pawsboi3276]

I’m definitely gonna try this out but not in ranked right away lmao

[@TheAnalyst8]

@pawsboi3276 played both tank and ap after the nerf. Ap is more fun! Definitely worth a try! Let me know how it goes!

[@nailinthefashion]

Zeri mains just wanting a brain dead Yuumi lmao

[@TheAnalyst8]

@nailinthefashion tell me about it!! Thank you for taking the time to comment! ☺️

[@nailinthefashion]

@TheAnalyst8 thank you for being sexy hot hot too. Requesting support Ahri or Asol... my fave off meta pix.. plz

[@jaimie3818]

Man that Zeri did not appreciate the carry! You practically gave her a free lane, full vision and more than doubled her dps

[@TheAnalyst8]

@jaimie3818 thank you for taking the time to tell me this! Made my day! I know doubled her dps and helped win lane. It was a viable pick in this situation. I appreciate the kind words ☺️

[@jedhieb1879]

Hate when people put u down for a unique pick wp

[@TheAnalyst8]

@jedhieb1879 thank you for taking the time to comment. I agree! I am not trying to waste my time anymore than the next person!

[@PatrickJobb]

I am in Bronze-Silver Elo, would you say this is a viable pick for those ranks? Also watched the tank smolder, in your opinion which is better?

[@TheAnalyst8]

@PatrickJobb Honestly I think ap burn is way more fun! Even after the ap nerf on his Q. I do believe you could play it especially against a melee support. If you play against a healer it may be tough. Let me know how it goes! 😎

[@fredericdesjardins6089]

Ap Smolder is fun, but not in rank like yur team will end up griefing because of it and you can’t stack properly without stealing cs. But yur Smolding

[@TheAnalyst8]

@fredericdesjardins6089 thank you for taking the time to comment. I agree with you. I played this ranked a few times and it’s a hit or miss on your team not being happy. Some didn’t care and some cared too much (like this game). Smolder is very fun though!

[@ElMarlish]

@@TheAnalyst8 a long time ago, when zeri ap mid was a thing I played her supp, it was a fucking banger the damage from the W ult and passive were just so damn high but 1 game out of 2 my team would literally int just because they didn't like it so yeah i think you just can't play something weird in ranked unless you're smurfing big time

[@TheAnalyst8]

@@ElMarlish that does sound super strong. I remember the Ap Zeri days. It is tough to keep moral strong with off meta. At the beginning of my channel I was playing normals and multiple people were stating that it wasn’t real because it wasn’t ranked. I definitely don’t play someone like smolder ranked without trying them first in norms. I appreciate the comment though. I am trying to appease more people by playing some ranked some norms. Just trying to show people different champs in different roles could be viable in the right match up.

[@ElMarlish]

@@TheAnalyst8 No I get it because I feel like this too, ranked and normals are definitely not the same but yeah it's hard to play off meta in ranked .. This french stream slipix actually climbed master playing only off meta supps like lee sin and shit

[@TheAnalyst8]

@ElMarlish oh wow that sounds very interesting! It is very tough mimicking every off meta for sure, especially in ranked! I appreciate your time in this conversation!

[@GarboEmbargo]

Noob trap click bait bs. Pray tell how this champ is useful at all as a support.

[@TheAnalyst8]

@GarboEmbargo I appreciate the comment but not sure what you mean by click bait traps? I try very hard to show my stats in the thumbnail to everyone to not clickbait anyone. He is a mage poke support. He is not useful in every match up but against a melee support it is easier to stack without taking cs from your adc. Definitely scales regardless though which is nice if it gets to mid/late game. PIt’s a way to think outside the box and show there are other options out there. If you have any other way of how to title this video other than the way it is, because what I stated was true, then please let me know. Open to suggestions. Thank you for taking the time to let me know though

[@greensabr200]

Obviously ap smolder supp is very suboptimal. I do somewhat agree that saying "free wins" is kind of a misnomer seeing as it's only a free win when the enemy doesn't have hands. But I don't think he claimed it was OP or anything
