[@bagger8078]

its 3 cc abilites with a joint cd tho

[@the_last_ballad]

​@@bagger8078 qe slows and R applies a stacking slow. So even removing e- from the equation Hwei has cc. Soft cc, sure, but slows are still useful for peeling. Not to mention qe over a chokepoint and wq towards an escape will get you out.

Must be an occupational hazard since he used to main Xerath

New player here, What is a "CS"

[@mukamuka0]

44:07 Haste went from 60 to 42 Ohhh! the inferno cinders mechanic is that you can collect and accumulate those cinder which will dropped out upon your death and your enemy can then pick it up. So, this is another snowball things they added

[@enavoid]

I haven't played yet but some things caught my attention and might be useful. - His passive is like Brand's. Combo two abilities everytime instead of poking with just one. Awesome AOE for pentakills too. - His QQ deals Max health dmg while his QW deals Missing health dmg - His WE restores mana (Hwei is very mana hungry so abuse this). Use WW shield for positive trades in lane. - Use EQ for self peeling. Use EW for picking distant enemies. - His R is a death sentence, and perfect for punishing clumped enemies along with his passive. Please CC before using this at max range. Also, don't mash your buttons, as you might enter other categories by accident. Press R to return to main menu. And finally, chill, he's not even close to Aphelios on complexity, he might have 10 abilities but you can only use 3 at a time and you don't have to worry about weird mechanics, just cast whatever you feel is better at the moment.

[@ShenCon]

honestly Hwei is looking insane, new mid mage might have to main him

[@qrei9032]

And it will be op as a support too with that speed and shield

[@svyatoslavrurikovich8831]

It really helps to have experience playing Invoker in DOTA because a lot of Hwei's kit is practically copypaste of Invoker.

[@alcoolgelson524]

Until riot nerf him into 46% win rate becouse " this champion is strong in high elo and competitive bla bla bla "

[@matthewgiles6858]

Hwei is actually looking decently balanced from what I am seeing. He has weaknesses that can be exploited. If he uses his E abilities, he loses his self peel, and creates an opening for other characters to exploit. Both his E and W abilities are a long enough cooldown to make Hwei vulnerable during those moments. And while I'm sure pro's will be able to negate those openings with skill and using the right ability at the right time, even then, its enough to not make him completely busted. I'm sure there will be plenty of finer tweaks to be made to him, but for a champion with 10 abilities, they are easy enough to understand, use, and counter. As always Zwag, thanks for the phenomenal gameplay, you are lot of fun to watch. Keep up those chill, fun vibes! Edit: They will definitely need to tweak his Ap ratios. The shield and movespeed are busted strong. And lower the damage on the E abilities. I didn't watch the later portions of the video. and yeah.... That got bad. Xd

[@PKFl4sh]

Yeah. His E has a bit too much damage, but besides that I think he's fine. It's the new items that need serious tuning.

[@markray9697]

Really? I thought he looked super broken but okay like shield movement speed snipe Insta fear burst it’s super good early wave clear I mean he’s good at everything he does have a weakness if he wastes his abilities but so does someone like lux if you waste q you can’t self peel but that’s just my thoughts

[@PKFl4sh]

@@markray9697 True, but he can't have it all at once. If he shields, he can't use his speed or damage boost, and his EQ fear only lasts 1 second and is his only really reliable CC. His waveclear looks great, but it's honestly nowhere near as good as Seraphine, Syndra, Ahri, Orianna, Lux etc. and he is *insanely* mana hungry, even with his WE.

[@laracook355]

[@gafroninja]

Yes! Finally after almost a year of asking for midlane Hwei!

[@Arthur-ek7nd]

This is gonna be a balance nightmare. He is going to be S+ tier in high elo and F tier in low elo.

[@pyrojkl]

i mean, def a high skill cap champ that if balanced he will always be good in high elo but even in low elo if noobs mains know his combos they can still do well if they aim skill shots better than the Ez in my last game.. i take it back, def terrible plat and lower :)

[@ArvelDreth]

​@@pyrojklyeah, DotA 2 has a hero called Invoker who is basically the same as Hwei in terms of the way his combos work and the fact that he has 10 abilities. Invoker has some different tools, like being able to turn invisible, but he isn't as much of a balance nightmare as people said he would be.

This guy is a teamfight monster. I think you're supposed to ult the tank in a teamfight to start it; hes the team engager, and then burst the squishies while the tank moves away from them

[@victordias2005]

Loving the new champion! Maybe we're supposed to use any of his E abilities to make it easier to hit the ultimate! :]

[@Ozan_ag]

it's easy enough dawg it's like a fizz ult but on steroids

[@Stringer207]

Been thinking about the abilities and I’ve compiled this list to compare similarities QQ - Karma Q but with added max HP dmg QW - Xerath W but isolation/immobilization deals more % missing HP QE - Velkoz W but burns in the zone WQ - Qiyana brush Q but no invisibility WW - AOE on that ground that gives shield WE - Nami E but with mana regen EQ - Xerath E but fears instead of stuns EW - Swain W but will root first damaged EE - Sett E but slows instead of stuns. What do you guys think?

[@MaxedEntropy]

I think it's less of a velkoz w and more of a corki payload

[@ziscofr4857]

Lmao I loved when bard ulted just to make him lose the cannon, btw u should main this champion I love to see that mages can do something now even with late game resistances. Hwei is insane and has everything you need to actually make teamfights fun and interesting. Slow, snipes, self speed, shields... Its just crazy and I think it fits u zwag, since I saw the trailer I thought of you lmao

[@micahorr7224]

He's a mix of so many champions. He's got Sett's E (without the stun), Taliya's enhanced Q, Rumble's Ult as a Basic skill (Basically), Nami's E, Fiddlestick's Q Fear, He has a Kalista W that actually does something more than vision. His ult is throwing Nunu's Ult onto an enemy essentially. Janna's passive and a light Kled ult (Movement speed boost that affects allies) He has something like Voli's E that also applies shields to allies. Like damn, Who needs to pick any other champ when he's all of them almost.

Also old Galio's E

[@Loneclpise]

Zwag if you havent figured it out yet Hwei's root will root the first thing that steps in the circle so if a minion followed by enemy walks in it'll root minion. Since the ring spawned with both of them already inside it was probably just randomized

[@nightcaller92]

Here's the thing with the E-W: it's a setup tool. You don't put it down expecting an instant CC, you put it down to exert zone control, and either catch an enemy in a trap while they're in neutral, or threaten a long-duration CC if an enemy is careless. E-Q is your get off me tool, E-E is good for keeping enemies in a spot for a second longer, E-W is your trap. If you do E-W into Q-W, you guarantee a massive damage hit on the enemy you catch with E-W, because Q-W can get its empowered damage when the target is immobilized as an alternative to the isolated condition. There are so many cases watching your gameplay where I see excellent opportunities to make use of E-W for excellent catches or even picks, but you seem to miss it in the shuffle for a variety of reasons, and it makes me sad how you dismiss it in favor of E-E, which IS a great ability in its own right, but is situationally surpassed by E-W for some scenarios
