    The thing about Invoker is that he incorporates every single mechanic from Dota into 1 hero, there is micromanaging several units, global map awareness for skill shots, cooldown management, positioning, very high team coordination (I couldn't begin to describe you the amount of times I've tornadoed enemies inside Chronosphere), farming, etc. I think this is what makes Invoker so much fun, it's like a perfect blend of everything Dota has to offer.

  • @runescape9812
    @runescape9812 ปีที่แล้ว +160

    Invoker is complex not just because "hehe, 10 spells" but because said 10 spells are all very different from one another and combo into each other in many complicated and cool to pull off ways. And I don't mean different in the sense of "The Q projectile version is damage while the E projectile version is damage and CC" like here. They're completely different spells whether they be an AoE Mana Burn, summons a unit, a line knock-back, a global point-AoE skillshot with a delay, etc. And the combos, depending on which ones you go for first, enable you to play him as multiple roles.
    Hwei is complex by League standards but his 9 basic spells are essentially just variations on projectile, line, AoE (the pseudo-Nami E breaks the norm a bit). And regardless of what builds you go for, I feel like his play pattern will just be the same across them

    • @SadFace201
      @SadFace201 ปีที่แล้ว +43

      I agree. And also the fact that they split Hwei's abilities into Q for damage, W cor utility, and E for CC. This means you can't do combos like Maw pull into root since both share the same cooldown. Hwei's W abilities literally do not combo with anything, meaning Hwei is limited to just some sort of opening CC from E into whatever damaging ability he chooses from Q. It's very lackluster compared to Invoker.

    Also worth noting - invoker can be kind of a right-click monster in the early game (and to a lesser extent later on). There's just so much flexibility in his kit with the invis and stats and summons and attack speed boost. Like imagine if Hwei just said "I'm gonna be a stealth right click assassin for a bit, brb."
    On the other hand, Hwei's got more than one spell dedicated to helping his allies... I predict those are going to be the victims of cooldown priority if things turn out as you say. Still, it's way better than their last attempt at Invoker, which gave us Aphelios somehow

      Assuming by this you mean Invoker only has one spell for helping allies I strongly disagree. If this were true Invoker 4 wouldn't exist. If we're limiting "helping allies" to just spells that directly and only affect allies then sure he only has one spell but that's kind of ignoring the extreme defensive utility of cold snap, ice wall, tornado, and deafening blast. And then of course alacrity for big dam.

    This is also a good video to showcase Dota's superior sound design. Invoker's spells just sound more powerful, defined, and super chunky compared to the LoL spells.
    Alacrity, the one that increases your attack speed, may sound boring on paper. However, it synergizes with his other spells. It combines with Cold Snap, because Cold Snap stuns and deals extra damage on landed attacks, so Alacrity + Cold Snap = faster attack = more stun and damage.
    Alacrity can also be casted on teammates and units, so you can buff your right-click carry, use it on your Forge Spirits spell (Forge Spirits also remove armor on each attack, so that means more armor reduction), or you can use it on your siege units (catapults) to speed up destroying towers.

    The problem LoL design team faces is that if they have independent cooldowns, they have to make Hwei dependant on some other resource. Mana won't do, as it only requires a couple items to have infinite mana. Longer cooldowns on spells won't do, because that's not really what LoL is about.

Hwei is more intuitive, but ends up feeling like a champ whose Q, W and E change forms depending on the situation, rather than a champ with ACTUALLY 9 spells to choose from at any time.

    I wish they had sprinkled the cc, utility and damage into all three slots so you could more heavily lean into utility for example instead of just choosing one from each for a single rotation. That way the character would have felt more flexible and versatile.
    This of course would mean that the damage potential of anything else besides full damage rotation would have to be meaningfully weaker in terms of damage to make the tradeoff impactful.

    Kinda smart that they simplify if there are 2 orbs in the recipe, for example QQE-> QE, and just move the QWE into R
    I guess the advantage of the invoker way is you cook the skill first (3rd skill recipe is already in place, just use invoke) and then you can fire all very quickly
    meanwhile, Hwei needs to cook the recipe while casting the combo, albeit an easier one
    I guess Invoker does build refresher so quick casting combo is a must
    Another advantage is micromanaging skill order and passive but that is really hard, especially with the recent passive change
    That cooldown tho, eugh

    Definitely thought the same for the last part.. because Hwei's abilities have shared cooldown instead of individual cooldown then you can't freely cast any spells.. you just need the most efficient ones suitable for the situation.. Invoker can do multiple spells because each spell feels like an ultimate skill, just a little toned down but definitely more powerful than a normal skill.. hence why he can afford having long cooldowns for his skills so he can use everything without spamming only one spell in a team fight.. in Hwei's case, you are most likely to spam QE because that provides a ton of space control.. same for EW..

    I would love a passive that would grant cooldown reduction instead of damage for spells hit with Hwei. I just imagine hitting every spell in a 3 spell combo and having massive cooldown reduction until you run out of mana if you keep hitting spells. When playing invoker I feel like I can do 100s of button presses in a fight if I time my combos perfectly, it's a very satisfying way to play.

    The only part that sucks about Hwei is having his abilities be on shared cooldowns. So you can't combo his CC spells into one aother or go full support and chain his utility spells. What makes Invoker so interesting is his ability to chain basically his entire list of spells together and in different ways where as Hwei still has the typical Q W E spells but can choose what each Q W E does before it goes on cooldown.
    But I suppose thats par for the course, Dota 2 is the more complex and nuanced game after all and League is streamlined and prefers high mechanical execution.

    but you can’t compare hwei to invoker. i played hwei a few times now on the pbe. really fun to play, intuitive ability design but once you get the hang of him i start to notice he’s very reliant on his Qs for damage. it really takes away from the spellcaster arsenal mage fantasy with the high cds too

Visually i think its very underwhelming, the particle effects on skills are nice, but for such an ambitious champ i think they fumbled the visual identity quite hard (he looks like a character from The Road to El Dorado), I was hoping for more of a badass design. The artist/painter aspect of it fits quite well with a champion that is supposed to be creative, lets just hope the kit allows for diverse gameplay and creativity in teamfights.

    I wish Hwei's passive would buff his next spell cast and stacks up to somewhere around 10 stacks and would drop if he didn't cast any spells for some time. Of course his overall kit would need to get tuned down, but to me this is what a real spellweaver should do/work best as. For example, maybe his mana cost increased every stack or increased cooldown, maybe if he drops the stack he would get longer cooldowns but more damage etc. There are so many awesome ideas that Hwei could have had that I wished had been implemented.
    TL;DR I wish Hwei's passive would focus more on casting lots of spells with some tradeoffs to fit a spellweaver/spellslinger playstyle.

    I think it's no surprise that Invoker is still by far the more unique/difficult kit with a way more adaptable arsenal of abilities, but that's just how the two games work sometimes. League is overall less complex, but the broader audience it's appealing to would enjoy Hwei more because of the more intuitive way they let people access their options on the fly. Like you said, it's more focused on mobility and skillshots, and in a faster paced environment having quick access is important. I agree that I wish his abilities had closer cooldowns to each other so that he could have a better "flow" to his kit - QQ spam feels boring.

  • @angelicoz
    @angelicoz ปีที่แล้ว +5

    A way to make Hwei's skills less "just spam Q" and more "combo with everything" is to make Q, W and E share the same cooldown. For example, if you use Q it will have a 10 seconds cooldown, and as it goes down if you use W it will the the same cooldown from Q. That would mean if you use only one skill, when it gets to like 2 seconds you can use your other skills and when the cooldown resfresh you get them all back to make a super combo . Of course that would mean an heavy rebalancing, but I think it would be much better.
    Also, they really need to buff some skills, especially in his W. Like, W-Q should heal a little bit and W-W should get a little bit of Armor and MR only for Hwei, because right now W-E is the one you will use the most.
    Also, buff E-Q and E-W range slightly, because they are really slow so they *need* range. I think the rest is just fine

    Don't play league but it looks like he just has 7 damaging skillshots. You can guess what would happen if you have that with low cooldowns and no real mana constraints. If you nerf his damage to compensate, you make spells unimpactful. Scaling it with the passive makes him very unreliable. I'm interested to see how they balance him and still make it a viable hero.

  • @JustAlex2000
    @JustAlex2000 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think the reason why Hwei has such long cooldowns and pretty big mana spending is cause those are the two ways Riot tried balancing him not to feel like "Too much". From what I've seen, League community likes and prefers simple and straightforward things far more than Dota. I mean we've had tons of people complaining non stop that champions keep getting too much in their kits and feel "Overloaded", to the point where Riot has had to speak up about it on multiple occasions.
    Best example I can give is Aphelios who is sort of an artilery mage but as an ADC with 6 different guns. People to this day still give Riot shit for making such a "Complicated and overloaded" champion.
    So I can imagine that if Riot released Hwei with smaller cooldowns to fully capitalize on the artillary mage fantasy, league community would be up in flames. So I think a lot of the times when Riot is designing a new champion, they take into account the skill and complexity, realizing they can't crank it up to eleven, otherwise nobody would play them outside dedicated one tricks and pro players. Azir to this day has one of the lowest pick and play rates anywhere below Diamond or Master Elo.
    As someone who has been playing league for 10 years now, I think Hwei seems to be in a solid place right now design wise. I can't speak on any of the damage numbers, but the idea of him having Q as primary damaging spells, while others are more situational is what Riot was going for. So if they wanted to lower Hwei's cooldowns on his W and E casts, they would need to heavily reduce his damage, because otherwise we'd just have another Aphelios situation where a champion is overwhelmingly overpowering everyone else due to having 3 times more tools on average than the rest of the roster.

    In contrast to the earlier invoker with 27 skills, who was more mechanical in nature and could kill all 5 enemies on your own without assistance, He possesses every buff and disable you could ask for.

    Hwei's QE is way too good from what I played. It's usually the best even for single target damage. QW on the other hand is too situational, because its execute damage is only applied if the enemy is isolated or stunned, on top of being hard to land because of the huge delay. The delay is perfectly fine, but it should always be rewarding to land IMO. QQ is just kinda boring.

    Ultimate could have a debuff placed on enemies that makes it so that for each *appropriate* (i don't play LoL so I don't know much about hp values there) amount of damage done to a debuffed enemy it lowers the cooldown time by like 1-1.5 second. And on killing a debuffed enemy cds get a lowered by 3 seconds. Could be really fun trying to time the spells used on non debuffed targets so you dont accidentally waste them, while having a spell ready to lower cds with a debuffed enemy. The debuffed enemy would have a choice between leaving the fight making Hwei weaker, but making it a 4 v 5 or staying and risking the mages full potential.

    I also feel like it's a hard comparison to make, because as far as i know, in dota there is just much more stuff going on for alla champions, a kit like invoker's in league would be beyond broken compared to the general power level of champions. So yeah, of course it does more stuff, but it does so in a completely different game environment.

  • @OriginalMokthol
    @OriginalMokthol ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You're absolutely right that most Hwei players will end up using, at most, 5 of the 10 abilities. QQ, QE, WE, EQ and EE I think are the ones you'll see used most often.
    QW will probably be good in specific situations where your team has much more CC. WQ and WW won't be used as often, you might see them used if he's playing as a support, but most will be playing him as a mage and will prioritize his WE for the bonus damage and mana. EW may be too slow. EQ and EE are much faster and are harder to react too. (I have yet to play him, this is just the impression I've gotten from the information we have).
    This is likely the closest thing to Invoker we'll ever see in LoL, that said, he still looks like he'll be fun and I look forward to playing him.

    • @TZAR_POTATO

      That really upsets me though.
      When I play invoker, I almost never use ice wall but not because it sucks, but because I suck. That's still 9 / 10 abilities consistently used in each team fight lategame.
      I hardly think Hwei will see that much flexibility.

    • @OriginalMokthol
      @OriginalMokthol ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@TZAR_POTATO I know what you mean. It's unfortunate that they couldn't give each one an individual cooldown. Perhaps it was hard to find a balance between them and they ended up being too strong together or each one being too weak individually.
      I never played Invoker (I love the kit but it always intimidated me and never tried it) but i imagine it would take some effort and effort to use all 10 spells in a row during a fight. It looks like it'll take far less effort for Hwei, and I can imagine it would take no time at all to cast all 10 of his spells if each had their own CD.
      Perhaps they could add a shorter CD to the abilities not used. For example, if QQ was used, it would go on a 10 second CD, while QW and QE only had a CD of 2 seconds instead of sharing the long CD.

    Okay, so one thing I do wanna push back on are the cooldowns. A 5, 10 second, and 12 second cooldown can easily become 3, 4, and 5 seconds respectively with enough ability haste.
    He only feels that way because you're playing around with literally no items.

    • @TZAR_POTATO

    • @Qeshen
      @Qeshen 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@TZAR_POTATO Not necessarily. Hwei has a lot of tools other mages don't, and his range on non ultimate spells borders on ridiculous in some cases.
      Teamfights generally tend to end up with both sides prodding and poking each other before a front liner or an assassin commits to a kill. Control mages like Hwei have MORE than enough time to get several abilities out and wait out cooldowns.
      This is also not taking into account his passive constantly rewards hitting abilities in succession.
      For reference, a popular midlane champion like Syndra's cooldowns are similar. Her bread and butter Q is 7 seconds, her W 8, and her E an entire 17 seconds. This doesn't stop her from being one of the better, more skill expressive champions in the game.
      Not to mention, again, League of Legends has ability haste, which can be built in items to passively reduce the cooldown of every ability. Her 7 second Q that is her primary source of raw damage beyond her ultimate can be reduced to about 3 seconds, and that's more than enough for an end-game teamfight.

  • @mrzima723

    League and Dota communities are strongly divided so it's cool seeing a video like this, and cool channel also, idk how i stumbled upon it but i'm subbing. I started league in 2012, tried dota shortly after but went back to league, I feel like dota requires a master's degree to be able to play.
    That being said it's been 11 years since i last played dota and i still remember the coolest champion concept i have ever seen in a moba: Invoker. So seeing a version of him being ported to league made me excited, although i am not a mid laner. Having such bolder concept in the game should make it cooler... *should*
    The concept of Hwei is kinda disappointing. Having acces to 10 abilities and being able to use 4 in a fight is kinda sad, in comparison to shapeshifting champions having 6 and all of them usable at once. Obviously Invoker or any dota champion will never work in league and vice versa, but if they want to implement an arsenal mage they should allow him to use his arsenal. I can see Hwei being min maxed into using the 4 most "viable" spells besides the ult. My prediction for these is rumble ult for waveclear and teamfights, fear into sunstrike to make picks and probably shield from the W options, maybe it will be 50/50 with the speedboost.

    • @TZAR_POTATO
      @TZAR_POTATO  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah but on top of that, the ALLY speed boost and ALLY shield... are on the same cooldown as the SELF damage boost, and guess which one people will open combos with. The optimal damage combo throws allies under the bus on the way out. It's bad design.

  • @quangbuinhat7708
