i wish his champion age and size would grow with stacks. It's a missed opportunity imo, you would start off as a small baby dragon and grow into an adult powerful dragon as the levels increase. 50 Stacks - Teenager 100 Stacks - Adult 200 Stacks - Elder The transition from one stage to another could be implemented in a Smooth way in which it happens automatically upon hitting the stack threshold, but you don't get stuck in the animation. I imagine it would be so cool if your dragon goes from one form to another in the middle of the teamfight by letting out a big "roar" and doubling in size.
@@biggiecheese2004 damn, i didn't think of that. I guess for my idea to work, you would have redesign the champ for a spellcasting bruiser/off-tank build. In a way it would balance his Insane late game abilities by also giving a bigger hitbox to his character. So his weakness would then be CC.
They might have some sort of special quest in the future but it’s very unlikely it’ll actually do anything. Smolder is coded as a champion not an elemental drake
So what you're saying is I need to know how many stacks he has in order to properly sidestep his Q because otherwise I won't know if it's a quarter circle, a half circle or an entire circle?
Who cares. It's all still a circle. I'd be mad if it started changing into squares or rectangles lmao. And if you're close enough to get hit by the front half of the circle, you wouldn't have been able to dodge shit anyway since it's a targetted skill.
I'll be honest it looks a bit disappointing, his scaling only changing his Q and no other abilities + being pretty underwhelming unless you reach 2k stacks is quite meh

@@Kuptain i Say feel, never Say is. Probably because it doesnt change visually in an shocking way, like kindred and Senna getting Range or veigar getting more size in the R
i like to believe smolder is the answer to those matches that take like 2 hours basically the dragon evolving at the point one shots everyone for say ENOUGH
Maybe, at least base dmg of the ability is atrociously low, it's only gigastacks that make it so op in the vid, so it will actually just be used as a mobility tool rather than part of the dmg toolkit.
Btw smolders will be able to perma farm the Voidgrubs minions Example: You lead them all to you (after you get your first Q upgrade) you Q all of them you get X stacks, get out of range so they regen to full Repeat! Boom 200 years yet again
400-500 or so. Well maybe more if you constantly farm jungle camps and your team allows you all the cs. So I would say maybe 700 max but that is really pushing it. ike you need to have nearly 600 cs by then.
This is definitely what corki should have been. His Q gets bigger (could be a missile) based on stacks, his W is a huge fireball (could replace his current R), his E is a dash and can fire freely (W+E combined) and his R could be his enhanced W
what setting do you have enabled to make it so that the amount of stacks wen you last hit a creep shows up? i dont see that when i play him and last hit with Q
Oh yeah all of his abilities aside from E has AP scaling, with both W and R having 100% AP ratio (130% on R if you are hit in the center). Can't wait to play lore-accurate Smolder and slap a Liandry on this boiyo just to watch ppl burn.
@@shokocontane594 And Liandrys is fixed at 1% magic damage of max HP. I wonder what will be more impactful. You can't stack torment alone, and even if all 5 players would be using it, it were 5% max life magic damage.
Definitely depends on elo. High elo soloq might get up to 300-400. Low elo might not even reach 225 unless he gets most of his stacks from kills. Proplay is really iffy, he might be nerfed for proplay if teams can secure his win-con every match.
As a former tank player, seeing a late game adc with magic damage on all his abilities and %health true dmg on q, im really happy i quit league this year.
I like the Ritos so much. They talk about balance, about champions not being overwhelmed. And they forget about that the minute they start a new character. Would the universe be broken if Smolder evolved Q like Victor or Kazix? No need the infinite stacks he gets just because he hit with a skill. Draven who needs to kill minions and then kill (personally) the hero without dying himself stands aside. And tearfully looks at Nasus, Sion, Aurelion Sol, Senna and Smolder (maybe I forgot someone). While you are farming, they are also reinforcing passively, according to the fact of the peak, without taking risks like Kindrath. That's not right. This is an example of bad design and lack of ideas. Shivanna, for example, gets bonuses by killing dragons, it's conditioned, it doesn't overpower her and gives enemies a chance to catch her in mistakes (like Kindrath and Draven). I apologize for the huge amount of text.

Vandiril do this again but focus on E. It gains more hits with stacks so you become a machine gun that deletes anything by 2k stacks.
