Which other champions would you like to see?

[@Romyp]

wouldn't yuumi be really strong with like a jinx if you can w on portrait, and then maybe ult or E (idk if it would work ;-; )

[@skipmanghondarg]

@@Romyp Only [E] and [R] works Edit: and [W] too, my bad

[@jotaro6128]

I think gp would be pretty good

[@tenshy]

Champs with AOE damage like Amumu, Anivia, Karthus And maybe Hwei for spells interaction

[@skipmanghondarg]

So uhm... would Nidalee get here panthera-form skills upon using R?

[@shokocontane594]

"Ult does not deal dmg to the small minions" Ah, so the big monsters in this game mode are coded as champion then? Well that's great news for Viego I guess.

[@why_is_da_heavy_dead]

Illaoi doesnt pull the soul from them, they are coded as epic monsters most likely

[@xomegax5558]

You know that you cant play with viego in this mode yes?

[@raulbrenes778]

@@xomegax5558 Did you watched the video LMFAO?????

[@galvezmeza]

The problem might be that Viego needs to right click the soul and it doesn’t work (based on Thresh’s lantern example)

[@poddop]

@@galvezmeza he can ult souls to claim them iirc. w to prime, ult to claim?

[@vuvohoan368]

Skaarl got confused, he doesnt know where to run in that situation. Poor thing

[@Iasgo]

seeing the systems of this game mode adapt to practically any champion probably means that riot will want to bring the mode back to be successful

[@sonchae22]

Lillia on this gamemode would be crazy

[@el_zinga]

In theory, but since the champs can't use Q I bet hacked Lillia would struggle too.

[@kurtsaidwhat]

Riven is basically lillia

[@sonchae22]

[@jessblues848]

i loved these tests! you chose some great champions to showcase

[@mythmage8231]

OK, but, like, how do we do it? Why are we told exactly how to abuse PvP bugs, but for a silly PvE mode, we're told jack shit?

[@user-cv2fc9xn4y]

I know right

[@magntron01]

Because the method is incredibly dangerous, however i believe a "safe" method might be made public soon (not a guarantee)

[@6athory858]

@@magntron01 "incredibly dangerous" LOL

[@magntron01]

@@6athory858 The method used here could mean that unexperienced users may end up losing their account, or be banned by riot if they make any mistakes.

[@magntron01]

And is incredibly complex

[@Joseon-ii8sm]

Can you actually pick anything? If so, i think that you could try either cho'gath ult on the minions or maybe sion since the W skill is kept?

[@robertbauerle5592]

I don’t think any targeted abilities work

[@z3sleeper588]

Looks like you can't use anything that requires selecting a target so Cho R is out.

[@labareda1276]

I was thinking about Shaco or something, or Heimer

[@HextechLab]

Yeah, any champ is possible. I will pick Sion and check how much health he can stack with W (if it works). Thanks!

[@greenad1993]

@@HextechLab can you make a guide on how to do this?

[@BlastOffer]

This is kinda cool, this could be a big big mode if they actually adapt every champion. I would 100% play it much more

[@stann2713]

how can I pick any champion? pls share with me

[@DillonMeyer]

Based on all this data, the small enemies seem to be considered enemy champion summons, like Yorick ghouls. Larger enemies may work similar, but own a healthbar like Tibbers or Daisy if they also have an ability.

[@ThundrStrik]

shyvana would be intersting, since both E and R should be functional? will the DoT burn work?

[@viego-theruinedking5367]

I'd like to see Yone and Viego there

[@chaozowl]

Why viego

[@dizzyheads]

​@@chaozowl To see if maybe the big monster can body steal

[@Jalogdieu]

Yone can’t Q so…

[@Sioox]

I wonder if upgrades are like items and if you can buy/build/upgrade them with ornn. Do you mind checking that?

[@Teleblock]

Good idea, I tried it out and it didn't work unfortunately kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJeli42cgc55otk

[@toestik5254]

i wonder how sion ult/nunu W/skarner W will work here, or long range dashes in general most champs seem to just dissappoint though since you cant target anything directly, maybe zeri will work though?

[@kuriwashere]

Finally, accurate lore Kled gameplay

[@nnik6159]

can TF tp out of the boss arenas like Rek'Sai's for example?

[@ooo0ooo]

part 2 when?

[@killianhu1196]

Old asol would be so fun for this game mode

[@Shammikaze]

Karthus E with infinite mana? Sion passive Life stacks? Any champion that can instantly kill / execute minions?

[@x3voo]

Works with Sion W. I also tried Syndra, she can pick up and throw the chests around the map. Also, her E can disable mini-bosses, causing them to stop moving

[@pedroportela5322]

urgot w can do some funky shit does it work there ?

[@slimik2494]

Kayn E to get out of the map? Also can you try targeted abilities on the bosses like Rek'Sai?

[@singalandhot4193]

how can you play other champions??

[@Blackoutdmc]

Thats scary. All those souls give him 1.2 armor, and 1 AP a pop. With every flay, he grows stronger.

[@MaximumBoolin]

Karthus next :D

[@EeveeRealSenpai]

Wait a minute, isn't this basically vampire survivors? Edit: mainly at the start

[@VanDO-Vietnam]

it was the purpose of the gamemode from the start The creator wants to create vampire survivors with league champions

[@EeveeRealSenpai]

@@VanDO-Vietnam based

[@naldothadeus6310]

Yes, it's a cheap ripoff with no effort ofc. The innovative riot had left, now they're theorycraft

[@xomegax5558]

First of all the lol has a game like this a long time ao and vampire is not the creator Jokes aside is basicaly a vamp survivors with boss and coop

[@theillogicalmindset]

Swarm was made as a hobby by some riot designer, it's not a cheap ripoff it was their passion project that riot actually greenlit

[@jimmy_h7911]

You actually can right click with Jinx. You should try to move while casting her ult. For some reason this action bugs out the movement and forces you to right click.

[@gianghoang4594]

Anivia would be insane right?

[@marcuionut6319]

Does it mean that kled is coded to mount if distance to skarl is small enough? is there a very small chance that kled can catch skarl / run away from him? i don't think so

[@KATACTRL]

Can you try Katarina, im really curious how she would perform! Great video btw!

[@riantix]

As an Anivia main, would love to see her in Swarm. Do you run out of mana? Do minions walk around the wall? Are you able to use point-and-click abilities like her e?

[@Teleblock]

You can't run out of mana in swarm, the enemies walk directly through the wall, unable to use E.

[@riantix]

@@Teleblock That's a shame. Thank you for checking!

[@Sioox]

were you able to level up faster with zilean?

[@goof9203]

Very good, im so proud

[@Mache.]

What about Rammus?

[@shadowmitu8578]

How qbout senna and veigar? And maybe lulu could be funny if like jinx triggers on attack stuff to get tons of pix attack.idk if that would work And is mana a problem otherwise maybe anivia could just keep her ult axtive forever

[@madscientistmaxx]

ok but does pyke R work on champ mob ?

[@cylee4735]

can you try Kassadin, his E might be spammable with ally ability cast

[@ballsonfire4563]

can you do heimerdinger?

[@Onmanrz]

What happens if you pick aphelios in this mode?

[@akashugo]

but how it works to pick any champion? if we can know it XD pleaseeeee

[@emasplatter5567]

what about kayle? can she do something in swarm?

[@sageker8208]

The globals seem likely as swarm brair is a global dash, and you can already do some glitches with that.

[@caewka3129]

Can Nilah boost gained exp with her passive?

[@rajashaifulnazimrajamohdhi6369]

can rammus reflect enemy's attack?

[@whatamiwitnessing1003]

Heimer turret or other pets?

I'm interested in how briar w, brand's kit, kassadin e, karthus passive and r, mordekaiser r, renata r would work in this mode.

[@pizzaparker__0072]

I mean, briar is already in swarm, so i would assume it works the same as it does regularly, but then again illaoi is different so who knows with riot

[@soldier9348]

Mordekaiser passive would be quite fun

[@zaadshadow1279]

It will be nice to see Zeri in this gamemode XD

[@martinpetkov6310]

@@slayer-asp-6670 Odyssey had really fun missions (5 of the same champ and etc) in this swarm mode client missions are meh. Also odyssey was far harder (the 2 augment high difficulty kayn challenge is way more difficult than attrox on extreme)

[@slayer-asp-6670]

@@martinpetkov6310 2 augment was easy, just abuse the ziggs bug that never got patched lol, and the thing about swarm is you infinitely scale with buying buffs, if you want extreme aatrox to be hard dont get any buffs, never pick up access cards and always grab yuumi augments with nerfs to your hp, also play jinx the weakest champ, just like soulstone survivors or vampire survivors you can infinitely scale because of buffs.. anyway, 100 anima power is extremely op and lets you easily solo any boss and level with decent rng, or play illaoi and not need that rng

[@t_hodge_]

Cho'gath might be insane if the minibosses count as champs

Man i wish they would really make this mode for every champ. just 9 is so boring i dont even like any of the 9 champs that are pickable.

[@brunoscotto4549]

"with some trick" AKA some hack that make you elude the memory checking client side that what your picking is in the list of disponible champions, BTW this is permabanable since it's literally using some tier program to do so, but I guess it's just account who nobody cares about for press with no champions. (if you don't trust me fact check, even Vandiril posted about it.)

[@KeloSerg]
