To be honest her ult being able to yoink someone behind a wall would be the least of the problems even if it could, since she is forced to use it offensively anyway and cant just yeet herself out like Yone f.e. The main deal of "can't dash through wall" is that at least you can corner her.
@@worldiefeard8396Even her regular dashes are forced to be used for offense as she can only dash off usage of her abilities like kalista off her attacks. And unless Ambessa is attacking, her energy won’t regen fast enough to keep dashing past like three to four dashes.. and her dashes are very short range.

Don't even know why she has it in the first place. She has infinite energy and will never run out during a fight so what's even the point of having it.
They only gave her energy as a means to make it harder to run away. Since she can only get energy back by hitting enemy champions this means she like Briar can only play offensively and all in. Unlike Riven who can just flip about whenever and go in at an opportune moment. Because remember Energy is like having a mana pool of 200 with a base regen that's unmodifiable.

Bard was considered the weakest champion ever released at the time and that opinion held true for years. Echo was incredibly overtuned to the extent that people would play him full tank.

It bothers the absolute crap out of me that someone who made K'sante got fired and yet we get what's almost a v2 of that character, pretty much a melee version of Kallista here. Riot makes no sense these days.
Well, assuming the K'sante guy got specifically fired _for making K'sante_ . Was he? There had been a lot of sugarcoated layoffs in recent years, so the cause might've been a different one. In a company, you won't just get fired for creating one "absurd" champ which has been greenlighted by every department responsible, unless they need you as a sacrificial lamb in PR, and riot has tanked much worse shit in the past without firing developers as their meat shields. Ofc, if there's a (verified, mind you) post from the ksante dev himself about this, I retract my words.
Her energy builds off attacking. So her dashes when escaping is highly limited. Watch Nikkiboys recent vid.. she is an Engage bruiser with no actual escape option.
@@thejestor9378 oh for sure her disengage is bad but her all in though? doesn't change the fact she'll be like fighting Yasuo but with minions surrounding you at all times
@@Xephyranth Eh, I mostly use auto-attacks and aoe cc champs. With lack of Yasuo wind wall, I am honestly less afraid of her than Yasuo and Panth. Also, might be good idea to run Vex with her passive against movement champs.
@@Carlo_von_Habsburg No, it means it’s literal crap. Since her energy regen when not attacking is quite literally one of the slowest, combined with no wall jump and the range of her dash being quite short.. her disengage is crap.
They said they remove Galeforce because it gave a dash to champion not supposed to have dash. But give a champion 15 dash in 30second is fine. They should bring back dash on Stride Breaker and Galeforce or stop give new champion 1 billion dash.
@@Smoky701 You aren't going to build her full CDR, the 27 dashes were using waymore CDR than any real buils. ... 15 is still a shitton of dashes though.
Exactly! This is what pisses me off. Oh no, every old champ can't have dashes nooo it's too op. Btw check out this new champ who has a bajillion dashes. So cool and fun and 200 years amirite! I feel like the actual older bruiser/adc champs would be less op with a dash than whatever new monstrosity rito releases
I Clearly remember seeing the "Don't think our champions are overloaded" with my brother Jokingly i said: "Blink Twice if you're being held at g*npoint"... She blinked twice AS SHE WAS SAYING IT
All honesty I’d say the last one was renata. Simple with very strong abilities but gated behind long cd. Hwei is close. Most people complained about versatility and how similar he was to a champ in dota.
She’s gonna end up on the “non-champion” list where they keep all the game breaking, poorly designed, under tested characters at a permanent 45% win rate like Zeri, Kalista, Ryze and Yuumi.
@@NYKIKE As soon as they revealed Zeri's kit I KNEW she is fundamentally broken af. She deserves to be irrelevant because her kit is broken. You make an adc be able to juke forever with slows, dashes, and movement speed. Congratulations you've removed the weakness of the adc class and broke the game. It was obvious for me with zero game design experience vs riot's 300 years and counting peak game design.
"She literally has dash on every single ability, so you can't creep mobility any higher." That is until a champ comes out with multiple dashes on every ability. Think Ahri ult, only on everything.
Been playing League since late s1. Ive always preferred poke mages and more traditional adcs. But the amount of mobility and cc just got too much for me. I simply wasnt having fun anymore. I finally gave up and uninstalled about 2 months ago. Still watching worlds, still gonna watch Arcane, still gonna watch lore videos. And then they drop Ambessa, and justify my decision. She looks like the only person who will be having fun on the rift is the person playing her, to the exclusion of all others.
Amen ... also love poke champs ... assassin and mages ( assassin -> ... naafiri xD ) but as a mage .. who usually dont have much mobility .... like brand ... anivia ... Vel'Koz ..... but every over loaded champ they release ... those champs feel more and more under tuned .... sure they all have cc .... but overloaded champs shrugh cc faster than you can throw them ... well this is only silver player opinion but .. its still an opinion
Passives Dash after abilities Attack speed after dashing Range attack after dashing Bonus damage after dashing Recover energy on hit after dash Armor penetration Ability life steal that scale with basic life steal
riven 2.0 but more tanky, which is the problem imo. If she was less tanky I would say it's not that bad just because most top can statcheck her, but if they can't that's where the problem lies
Kalis'veth. Every autoattack and every ability gives you a dash. Attack speed scales dash length and consecutive dashes scale attack range (starting range 300 so they benefit from technically being melee for items.
@@fernandozamoramata5372litteraly Kallista lol. But to be fair, her blink is extremely limited range, not instant-on-will and requires player to have robotised arm
They could also have more than 1 dash for each ability. Amumu can activate his Q twice, giving him 2 dashes on 1 ability. Fools think we've hit the limit, but we've barely getting started.
@@justhair17 The code actually confirms that all three are indeed her type. The full list is Ezreal, Rakan, Aphelios, Hwei, Illaoi, Shyvana, and Akshan.
8:08 if you tell me in 2012 that a champion has a kit that lets her dash away from me ONLY twice, without flash or whatever else, I'll just implode on the spot.
She has infinite dashes, a blink, supression and stun, 99% slow, healing and shielding, max health damage, no mana, ranged auto attacks that restore energy. People argue "but she cant really run out of fights" why does she need to? im sure shes on her way to a pentakill. And why give so much mobility to a grandma? She looks 80, weird design
"Mobility creep can't go past dashes on every ability" that sounds like a dare to Riot to make a champ where every single movement input you click causes them to blink there like Katarina E, with no range limit
Idk if it's really fair but the power of blitz Q and bring able yo position quickly to use it still make the slow make sense imo. A blitz q should be an instant pick every time after all
@@seisoch6969 In a way, yes. But the point for Sylas's passive is to give him damage between spells. Lee's main goal to get his energy back. Ambessa does both.
Her passive lets you que up auto attacks as well, which causes her to dash and auto, with increased auto range and damage, meaning she's Kalista+. She gets an ability, an auto, and a dash, all for free. Kalista just gets an auto and a dash.
I only have two champs with dashes, and both of them are REQUIRED to spend their single dash just to be able to engage My face when they say she can only dash twice to escape: 🤡
"very much all in or nothing kind of a character" ... would be nice if it's true ): her kit allows her to annoy you even more than fiora or ekko who jump in hit you and run away with speed, she will jump in trade with and jump out again. She is very good at poking with short trades and afterwards all in you with her ultimate. What a laning monster The champ is actually cool, just astro op. If you are an adc it's unplayable XD
Give her the Pyke treatment. Lethality scaling only. No max health damage. Force her to have only one build path so even a yuumi could build against her since they know what she is building from the start. Easy. Balanced. Lmfao
Hwei kit is your general mage, just more versatile in what exactly he does. He doesn't really do a lot of fancy stuff, abilities are basically a damaging skillshot/aoe (most are pretty much avoidable) with single additional effect, like slow. Only mobility tool he gets is WQ, which is a ms increase in specific zone, and passive is basically here just to encourage going combos from different colours. I'd say my only real complaint is that his ult - too much damage to be unavoidable.
I actually think turning ambessa into a glasscanon is a bad idea because based on her lore as far as we know she seems like a really tough women (And tbh i dont like that she is s fast, in my fantasie she is a slow high damage bruiser but hey :/ )
As a Darius OTP for 3 years, I am so starved of actual good TopLane Bruiser. (I hate K'Sante, I hate Aurora, i hate top Smolder) The last good TopLaner we got is a Skirmisher released 2021. (Gwen).

It bothers the absolute crap out of me that someone who made K'sante got fired and yet we get what's almost a v2 of that character, pretty much a melee version of Kallista here. Riot makes no sense these days.
Well, assuming the K'sante guy got specifically fired _for making K'sante_ . Was he? There had been a lot of sugarcoated layoffs in recent years, so the cause might've been a different one. In a company, you won't just get fired for creating one "absurd" champ which has been greenlighted by every department responsible, unless they need you as a sacrificial lamb in PR, and riot has tanked much worse shit in the past without firing developers as their meat shields.
Ofc, if there's a (verified, mind you) post from the ksante dev himself about this, I retract my words.
@@midknightcrisis8612 Nog only K'sante,but also Yuumi. He should have been fired BEFORE being able of making him.
Dashes on every ability, energy pool, armor pen, blink ult, shield, max health damage, passive omni vamp
Yeah 300 years
Her energy builds off attacking. So her dashes when escaping is highly limited. Watch Nikkiboys recent vid.. she is an Engage bruiser with no actual escape option.
@@thejestor9378 oh for sure her disengage is bad but her all in though? doesn't change the fact she'll be like fighting Yasuo but with minions surrounding you at all times
@@Xephyranth Eh, I mostly use auto-attacks and aoe cc champs. With lack of Yasuo wind wall, I am honestly less afraid of her than Yasuo and Panth. Also, might be good idea to run Vex with her passive against movement champs.
@@thejestor9378“escape is highly limited“ that in riot terms means disengage on lvl with yone and k‘sante
@@Carlo_von_Habsburg No, it means it’s literal crap. Since her energy regen when not attacking is quite literally one of the slowest, combined with no wall jump and the range of her dash being quite short.. her disengage is crap.
12:47 she also has a renekton blade in each hand
They said they remove Galeforce because it gave a dash to champion not supposed to have dash.
But give a champion 15 dash in 30second is fine.
They should bring back dash on Stride Breaker and Galeforce or stop give new champion 1 billion dash.
It's actually close to 27 dashes in 30 seconds if ur lvl 18 and build full cdr
@@Smoky701 someone watched the Vandiril video xD
@@Smoky701 You aren't going to build her full CDR, the 27 dashes were using waymore CDR than any real buils.
... 15 is still a shitton of dashes though.
Exactly! This is what pisses me off. Oh no, every old champ can't have dashes nooo it's too op. Btw check out this new champ who has a bajillion dashes. So cool and fun and 200 years amirite!
I feel like the actual older bruiser/adc champs would be less op with a dash than whatever new monstrosity rito releases
they removed it otherwise ppl be playing Stridebreaker Galeforce ambessa and hop nexus to nexus
I Clearly remember seeing the "Don't think our champions are overloaded" with my brother
Jokingly i said: "Blink Twice if you're being held at g*npoint"...
She blinked twice AS SHE WAS SAYING IT
Why did you censor gun
"Held at gaypoint" - you
riot makes an old lady champion ...one of if not the most mobile champions in the game ...
Camille is older look her goes of the walls and in the air and sweeps... then there is Renata, like a boss even baroness
It's not just some old lady. She's an ambassador with war experience
Camile is a robot which is very different @@doriangray8032
old?
She's middle aged and rugged presumably because of battle experience.
Least mobile escaper.. highly mobile engager.
When was the last time we could confidently say a newly released champ didn't have a load of BS?
2013
That was Vex, I think.
All honesty I’d say the last one was renata. Simple with very strong abilities but gated behind long cd. Hwei is close. Most people complained about versatility and how similar he was to a champ in dota.
Milio is fine wym
to be fair aurora was pretty mediocre by popularity standards, in my opinion by power level standards as well..
She’s gonna end up on the “non-champion” list where they keep all the game breaking, poorly designed, under tested characters at a permanent 45% win rate like Zeri, Kalista, Ryze and Yuumi.
Yuuuuuup. August legit said zeri was a failure. Perma over nerf cause they literally cant delete. Best devs
@@NYKIKE As soon as they revealed Zeri's kit I KNEW she is fundamentally broken af. She deserves to be irrelevant because her kit is broken. You make an adc be able to juke forever with slows, dashes, and movement speed. Congratulations you've removed the weakness of the adc class and broke the game. It was obvious for me with zero game design experience vs riot's 300 years and counting peak game design.
Poor Ryze 😢
u forgot kayle
THIS! THIS! SAME THOUGHT! POOR AMBESSA.
new permaban just dropped
So many perma bans everyone could do 5 ea and still not get them all
with these new champ designs they could make 3 balanced champs out of one of the "balanced" totally not overloaded champs
"She literally has dash on every single ability, so you can't creep mobility any higher."
That is until a champ comes out with multiple dashes on every ability. Think Ahri ult, only on everything.
What do you mean your champ doesn’t have 4 dashes, aoe, regen on ability, infinite secondary ressource regen and is tanky?
"Our champions don't have overloaded kits."
Been playing League since late s1.
Ive always preferred poke mages and more traditional adcs. But the amount of mobility and cc just got too much for me. I simply wasnt having fun anymore.
I finally gave up and uninstalled about 2 months ago. Still watching worlds, still gonna watch Arcane, still gonna watch lore videos.
And then they drop Ambessa, and justify my decision. She looks like the only person who will be having fun on the rift is the person playing her, to the exclusion of all others.
Y'know, that actually fits her "all is unworthy but what I consider my own" personality pretty well
Amen ... also love poke champs ... assassin and mages ( assassin -> ... naafiri xD ) but as a mage .. who usually dont have much mobility .... like brand ... anivia ... Vel'Koz ..... but every over loaded champ they release ... those champs feel more and more under tuned .... sure they all have cc .... but overloaded champs shrugh cc faster than you can throw them ...
well this is only silver player opinion but .. its still an opinion
My Anivia is crying looking at that kit. Vel'koz too. Hwei and Viktor hold up somehow, because their poke is pretty hard to avoid, but it's painful.
Passives
Dash after abilities
Attack speed after dashing
Range attack after dashing
Bonus damage after dashing
Recover energy on hit after dash
Armor penetration
Ability life steal that scale with basic life steal
Twisted fate passive : money
I heard you want less dashes. So anyways, lalalalala I can't hear you.
I'm waiting for a character with passive "Gives Bonus LP" and another character with passive "Wins game at 15 minutes."
Your looking for Kill Guy Mcbiceps the Overpowered
Ambessa is basically Riven 2.0. She becomes manaless if you use her passive properly and gets 50 % bonus lifesteal and a free Last Whisper on top.
What I’ve been thinking it’s Riven just better… like Astro’s was just better Riven tho this time no sacrifice to mobility just better dps and healing
riven 2.0 but more tanky, which is the problem imo. If she was less tanky I would say it's not that bad just because most top can statcheck her, but if they can't that's where the problem lies
The year is 2024 and Graves still can't have a cigar, noted.
6:30
Next champion has Belveth q on every ability
Or every right click just blinks to the location instead of walking in a straight line...
Kalis'veth. Every autoattack and every ability gives you a dash. Attack speed scales dash length and consecutive dashes scale attack range (starting range 300 so they benefit from technically being melee for items.
@@zaclittlejohn2701 oh god
@@fernandozamoramata5372litteraly Kallista lol. But to be fair, her blink is extremely limited range, not instant-on-will and requires player to have robotised arm
Who the hell is approving these champs, the most recent ones are absolutely bizzare
13:24 also ye very true the newer VFX is odd
How are the other ones bizzarre?
They could also have more than 1 dash for each ability. Amumu can activate his Q twice, giving him 2 dashes on 1 ability. Fools think we've hit the limit, but we've barely getting started.
I think this is riots way of dealing with the few scripters that still exist not even a script is gonna hit that
Her massage Voice Line had me lining up to the Noxian Conscription offices
I have a feeling her type is someone like Ezreal, Akshan or Hwei though. So if you are a skinny, pretty-boy, you may have a good chance
@@justhair17 The code actually confirms that all three are indeed her type. The full list is Ezreal, Rakan, Aphelios, Hwei, Illaoi, Shyvana, and Akshan.
Cringe
@@sameerkhannaSOS so basically skinny pretty boys, another muscle mommy and a half dragon. Shyv is a bit unexpected there
@@sameerkhannaSOSSo pretty boys and strong girls? Nice.
8:08 if you tell me in 2012 that a champion has a kit that lets her dash away from me ONLY twice, without flash or whatever else, I'll just implode on the spot.
She has infinite dashes, a blink, supression and stun, 99% slow, healing and shielding, max health damage, no mana, ranged auto attacks that restore energy. People argue "but she cant really run out of fights" why does she need to? im sure shes on her way to a pentakill.
And why give so much mobility to a grandma? She looks 80, weird design
feast or famine champ, this is how they work
@@drjamaymay405 mostly gone feast with those stats
@@MYSOULOFDOOM that's what the PBE is fore, turn the numbers down if necessary.
@@drjamaymay405so she's gonna end up like how zed used to be, kept 48%wr on purpose so he doesn't run over games?
@@dariusfilip4695 This is a high skill ceiling champ, yeah.
48% is fine.
"Mobility creep can't go past dashes on every ability"
that sounds like a dare to Riot to make a champ where every single movement input you click causes them to blink there like Katarina E, with no range limit
The hacker singed video where he put flash on 0 sec CD, only irl
She can move like that and its fine for riot at the same time that Blitzcrank SLOW HIMSELF with his abilities LOOOOL
What's the other effect of that slow ability if you don't mind me asking?
@50_foot_punch99 movement speed and attack speed for like 2ish seconds
Idk if it's really fair but the power of blitz Q and bring able yo position quickly to use it still make the slow make sense imo. A blitz q should be an instant pick every time after all
I was there when he was nerf, my low elo ass was so happy because his W can roam and run up to you just to hit E Q
lol i hope they keep it if blitz gets reworked
Time for LoL Classic, back when passives were Turns into egg instead of a book I have to read.
Riot basically smothered Chronoshift in the cradle. Wish it could happen, but they would fight it every step of the way.
5 years later, the most recent champion release that excited me is still Senna.
in Wild Rift, she can dash through walls. Watch Darkbreaker.
I also want to add, her passive is also an objectivly better Lee passive.
sylas passive is a better lee passive, now we have Ambessa with a better sylas passive
@@seisoch6969 In a way, yes. But the point for Sylas's passive is to give him damage between spells. Lee's main goal to get his energy back. Ambessa does both.
Her passive lets you que up auto attacks as well, which causes her to dash and auto, with increased auto range and damage, meaning she's Kalista+. She gets an ability, an auto, and a dash, all for free. Kalista just gets an auto and a dash.
I already can see pro use her and won't even die... with all that dashes and heal
2 bans when
Anybody want to talk about the $35 subscription on WR that just got released? 💀
I was just about to comment that thing.
@@Vernardo we should raise attention my fellow good man
It's a mobile game. It's normal
What does it give?
A mobile game with scummy paywall. Never heard that ever
Energy champions are like manaless champions but with extra steps
Why is no one talking about the Nora icon? Does that mean we could expect to see Nora come to League soon?
Or even in Arcane. That was my first thought
As funny as this is it feels like she lacks safety till you realise its on ability cast and she doesnt need to hit you to dash 😂
No, let's not wait and see
Let's permaban
"I remember season 3"- that should be considered the LoL's version of a 1000 yard stare
Her abilities are perfect for aoe assassin...... and for a normal assassin too. Im waiting to see the lethality builds on her
The problem is that she is a bruiser💀
Tank with insane mobility, shield, damage, healing, % armor pen, blinks, and supression... not even surprised tbh
"I wish she was still at riot to witness this" DAYUMNNNNN
Ambessa's Q: The entirety of the art of war by Sun Tzu with infinite dashes
Nasus's Q: Bonk
Tank kalista that can dash every skills used.
Her training in the 2nd season of the show honestly kinda explains the similarity to Ionians.
“She can only dash away twice” I’m going to the valve moba
I only have two champs with dashes, and both of them are REQUIRED to spend their single dash just to be able to engage
My face when they say she can only dash twice to escape: 🤡
wait till you see the BS in that one
Waiting to hear the final sentence of a Necrit video is always worth it lmao
It's also Vi's ult except a skillshot.
Combined with yone ult and 1000 range
@@Carlo_von_Habsburg it's like if Yone's ult and Vi's ult had a baby.
Except it gives her 30% armour pen and omnivamp
"very much all in or nothing kind of a character" ... would be nice if it's true ):
her kit allows her to annoy you even more than fiora or ekko who jump in hit you and run away with speed, she will jump in trade with and jump out again. She is very good at poking with short trades and afterwards all in you with her ultimate. What a laning monster
The champ is actually cool, just astro op. If you are an adc it's unplayable XD
Percent max hp dmg on Q, armor % pen and healing with ult's passive... Riven really is just a season 2 champ huh
When a mama Ambessa and a papa Sylas come together, they make a chogoth 🙂
All these insane new champs and their abilities, and then there's *POOR BLITZ THAT GETS SLOWED BY HIS OWN ABILITY*
Ambessa doesnt have a death sentencing grab into a stun true combo and isnt a support. Dummy.
she can just build warmogs heartsteal and stay in lane forever, add hulbreaker, titanic or wardens bloodmail and jaksho this is gonna be scary
Yeah, we all know she is the child of K'Sante and Shyvana who raised by Kalista lol
Ksante is actually bi and Shyvana is cheating on J4?
Give her the Pyke treatment. Lethality scaling only. No max health damage. Force her to have only one build path so even a yuumi could build against her since they know what she is building from the start. Easy. Balanced. Lmfao
Hwei's kit isnt really problematic just his numbers are
Hwei kit is your general mage, just more versatile in what exactly he does. He doesn't really do a lot of fancy stuff, abilities are basically a damaging skillshot/aoe (most are pretty much avoidable) with single additional effect, like slow.
Only mobility tool he gets is WQ, which is a ms increase in specific zone, and passive is basically here just to encourage going combos from different colours.
I'd say my only real complaint is that his ult - too much damage to be unavoidable.
@@Airin258 yup pretty much it thats my problem with yone, ksante, and akshan. Their kit is just too overloaded rather than versatile like Hwei.
*Cracks nuckles as I pull out my 700,000 mastery Taliyah*

She will walk out of the rubble and still close the distance in a second
Finally Riot is making me learn how to play poppy top now
Tbh not as good as you think
Poppy W only stops 1 dash, not the 27 she can do in 30 seconds.
Nah time to learn vex
all champs should come with a permanent poppy W to reconciliation for this abomination now
You did it again... Release skin video dropped an hour ago
This looks like a vex top meta to me.
I actually think turning ambessa into a glasscanon is a bad idea because based on her lore as far as we know she seems like a really tough women (And tbh i dont like that she is s fast, in my fantasie she is a slow high damage bruiser but hey :/ )
did you say FREE SKIN??
He's lost it guys
"She can only dash away twice."
Excuse me, only?
As a Darius OTP for 3 years, I am so starved of actual good TopLane Bruiser. (I hate K'Sante, I hate Aurora, i hate top Smolder) The last good TopLaner we got is a Skirmisher released 2021. (Gwen).
And whilst 'Gwen is Immune' is the meme it at least isn't case for those melee bruiser duels so you get to have actual fights.
As a Gwen main, yes

Gentlemen, synchronise your allways ban her watches.
We have to ban her every game, for most men that's a hard task. But we are not most men. We are mercenaries
Yes, I will ban her until she gets gutted to uselessness or the next 200 years champ releases
nope, she is easy to counter
Imagine trying to outrun this champ or trying to catch her and she goes full HP, because her R passive scales with lifesteal.
