For those who didn't know, you can check if Warwick used his W to track you or if its his passive. If its his W the debuff on your screen ticks down but if its his passive it doesn't.

[@dragomanbg]

Or also depending if you are lower than 50% hp. Or do you mean if are far away from him? 😮

[@Sinzari]

I mean, if you're under half hp his passive tracks you and if you're over it has to be his W, you don't need to check the debuff.

[@luckas221a]

@@Sinzari if he activated the W , it marks you and you’re under half HP, you can still check if W is active through this

[@KingTaltia]

@@Sinzari active W gives Warwick the passive component no matter the hp (move/atk speed) and buff it to 250% of it's value, so it's valuable to know if it's on/off/onCD/offCD.

Whats the option that shows you how many stacks you get for each Q?

[@alexanderschobelock6375]

Makes me wonder if we are in for an illaoi rework where her tentacles will be able to be placed like turrets/plants away from the walls Edit from later in the video: Zwag already had this thought as well.

[@fynnion7253]

Hey Zwag. How do you get the notifcation of +1 Stack when lasthitting with ur q? I looked through the settings and cant find it?!

[@Crescendobro]

So Illaoi R already spawns tentacles that aren't attached to walls so I can't see why they wouldn't be able to adapt that to let her tentacles spawn in lanes without nearby walls since most of the lanes got a lot wider

[@beziik2357]

They could very well have her abilities spawn tentacles Yorick style. After all, a big part of her harassing power was using E in-between two tentacles, but now you can't cause one or even both of them don't reach far enough. It's kinda funny

[@Crescendobro]

@@beziik2357 the main issue with spawning Yorick style is his spawn on minion deaths and she has more AOE vs him so she can wipe out the casters with Q for like an instant tentacle. Zyra’s passive seeds would be more balanced

[@DJMcRey]

They really have to do something with his e either on-hit triggering or attack speed after landing just anything

[@Crescendobro]

if they buffed the range of the E shots it would probably make it feel better, also if they front load the damage like Ahri W

[@RomGomLP]

I dont think they have to lol, its meant to be a movement ability

[@DJMcRey]

@@RomGomLP the problem is that its a bad movement ability in terms of duration and since it doesnt have a Mini dash before flight its worse then others like corki w schmolder is already pretty 1 Button like with his q would Just love the Other spells to be usefull and fun to use aswell even if it Comes at the Cost of a worse q. 1 Button delete Champs got removed for a reason and they gotta tweek it no matter what ^^

[@Crescendobro]

@@RomGomLP spells can fulfil dual purposes, look at Ahri W when they added the MS boost it became a defensive tool for juking enemy skill shots easier or Pyke R: some Pyke mains late game use it as a positioning tool since it blinks him to the X if it hits an enemy champ so he can land a clutch E in a fight. Smolder E seems to me to be a kiting/escape and chase tool since it gives 100% MS, lets u hop walls and gives u auto targeting shots. Akshan E is pretty similar in purpose to Smolder E tbh since they both give alternate movement methods while auto targeting enemies that are close to u while dashing

[@chronoarms4821]

@@Crescendobro but akshan E procs onhits like PTA and also resets after takedowns. I really thought smolders would work similar since then you could use it to engage with the lockon hits for PTA then use other abilities

[@shinonomehakase2298]

I just had an 80 minute game as Smolder yesterday. One on our team rage quit. Two on enemy team rage quit. 4v3, and one of them was also Smolder. By the end, each of us executed at around 20% max HP (around 800 stacks)

[@youtubealt243]

Does it work with elder? Like let’s say you had elder and 800 stacks, would it execute at 40% instead of 20%?

I think that they should make illaoi that the far she is from the wall bigger/longer the tentacle will be. This way she will have short and long tentacle to make it balanced but can still be effective in toplane

[@vexilvenom2562]

Ive been sayin this forever, but they need to just make it where they can spawn in the middle of the lane. just like how they do with her ult. but they are actually killable.

Cait: Uses R Zwag: Best I can do is flash Q

[@AlryFireBlade]

I must confess that I am exited for SMoled. He is cute, voicelines that make me smile and gameplaywise he seems fear? I mean maybe his number are too high, but after balancing him a bit, i think he is fine. I see nothing frustrating in his Kit... The execute seems to be OK, and the E is not a Fizz E. I can't belive it isn't like Fizz E, because so it is fair.

[@HighPhoenix1754]

I think his numbers seem high because, well, offense is about all he's got. He starts off pretty weakish, and his passive rewards you for farming well. If you can't last hit, Smolder is useless to you, because he doesn't have any utility, defenses, and barely has short-term mobility or cc for that matter. He's all damage, and pretty straightforward as Dragons be, but I wouldn't mind if he got toned down -just- a bit.

[@islixxn]

He might be trash

[@tolmir2929]

what high numbers, for a very fed smolder he did not seem to be doing a lot of dmg, even more so in this meta where burst is king, he does not have the dps of a pure ad carry and he does not have the burst of a midlaner , his range his pretty bad too, honestly from what I have seen outside of his ult he seem pretty meh. Ap assassin are broken right now too and there is no way smolder has a good matchup against akali,fizz and diana

[@thegoodyearlimp6643]

27:49 i had a similar bug the other day where my Garen R just decided to do zero damage 🙄

[@thomasdoncieu]

You can probably get a bunch of stacks on the grublings if you go help your jungler on the grubs! 12 of them spawn every few seconds so if you get a good Q you could get 30-40 stacks while helping

[@Wolfboy607]

I don't think this works, because Nasus cannot stack off them, however Sion can, so it does need testing to verify. I assume he is more like nasus, since it's spell stacking as opposed to passive stacking, so keep your hopes moderated.

[@shinonomehakase2298]

Tried this recently and I recall seeing each give me 0.25 stacks each

[@melissaroberts4444]

I was surprised when he didn't do it cause of that I mean PekinWolf did it in his video of Smolder and it helped a lot as even the mini's work for it

[@uHasioorr]

@@Wolfboy607 Does Overgrowth stack on them? Edit. It does every little grublings count as 1...

[@Tuyangtudai]

@4:40 kinda easy fix to illaoi is to make her tentacles spawn not at the wall only but on the ground too (like when u ulti) they still can only spawn in a fixed distance from each othe.

[@Obsdragon]

Day 41 of asking for max MS Warwick or max healing Warwick

[@dumitrualexandru2090]

I don't think collector is viable for him because you just dismiss it's "under 4% execute", collector having higher cap for execute at under 5%, so I would rather do another item to benefit both from item's passive and molder's execute under 4%. 1% difference is not that much of a drawback anyway. EDIT: Nvm, just saw execute is only on Q but still you can hit Q pretty easy if you have it stacked up.

[@drag838]

Are you noticing that you get 15+2 ad per kill on hubris? Idk why its like that but thats why you should buy it first so you can end up with 60+ stacks?

[@lament8719]

Pretty sure Illaoi is better Mid at the moment because the of the distance between mid walls and tentacles

[@simonnguyen692]

?

[@NeoN-PeoN]

Collector is terrible on him cause the 5% execute is completely worthless once you have the burn execute. Edit: nvm, I see.

[@Nobody-hc1rw]

30:00 that was a pretty good combo for blind pick.

[@dominicluptak]

i had one where i played briar ADC with a bard, a i was at 300 hp, so i charge e to stay alive and knock yas into a wall, a enemy kayn comes flying over that same wall, bard ults me, so my e goes off while in bard ult stuns them both, my gnar flys in while they're stunned and extends it by ulting them into the same wall and i get a double kill and live it was insane lmfaooo

Elder would canonically be his dad if were going by LoR canon, but one quote zwaq got this game made me curious, smolder said something about his aunt being a snake lady... possible reference to the deity that cursed cass? Edit: it was grandmother viper

[@wlnlax14]

Regarding Illaoi, they buffed her mana to compensate for more Qs to push wave past middle. It doesn't affect seasoned illaoi players because if we fight af the center even before this season it's not ideal. Push all the way up or freeze and distance aren't an issue. Plus, next patch, I think they are increasing tentacle slam reach to help further

[@Bagrieru]

Alright, now that talk about the Illaoi made me think of my Poppy, Camille, Gnar (wich I don't really play) and lastly… poor Mordekaiser having less places where walls limit his ult space to land more skills

[@manarmaxway3642]

In my opinion, Smolder is a weak and stupid champ for 2024, no damage on his kit or not even a champ to go on with on a lane , the names of his abilities are so immature, his bachground story is vivid and blurry , i think Riot should change him with something better , Riot is going down on these new ideas of champions, i mean from Jhin and Darius and all great animated champs to baby face immature like half dragon half human or something.

[@bogdanlapchenkov4227]

You shouldn't have a collector late game. Probably that will be a wise move to sell collector for grudge in that game. In terms of build - it looks like reaver into hubris is a right move, then BT, axiom and finish with grudge

[@IntenseDarknessable]

No, that would not be cool to have another champ who can completely avoid dmg. All these invulnerability mechanics are fking cancer. Also you should be helping on grubs, since they each give a stack.

Yeah they need to fix alot with him. Like his w needs more dmg because its just a slow but its pisspoor to hit, and his e needs either to be on hit or get better ad scaling. And his ult is fine i guess. But his q seems to be the only good thing. Its like yhey couldn't choose whether to make him ap or ad and its not helping him

[@giovannidox2444]

I think for fixing Illaoi they should add the same mechanic that fiddlesticks has with boa wards, like they are his clones, in her case, It would be her tentacles.

[@baianojogano7607]

what i think about the poor illaoi, is that they should make her passive spawn with skill landed instead of spawning at walls, like, one enemy get hit with Q, 1 spawn on their back, get hit with E, one spawn at the soul not the champion, w makes them last longer and attack faster each cast of it

[@Tuyangtudai]

@11:00 @zwag u get 2 stacks only the q kill stack pops up never the +stacks for hitting champions with abilitys [or u would get the popup way to much]

Why would you buy an execute item when your kit already includes a better execute? That gold can be better spent on something your build can use.

[@magicwhiterabbit1195]

I feel like his E should do % missing hp instead of the Q execute like keep the burn you know? So his E is more then a movement abilitiy

[@dragonroarr5787]

When you get stacks from hiting champs with smolder Q it doesnt show plus 1 but you do get the stacks so if you last hit a champ with his Q you get two stacks
