    My updated Smolder thoughts:
    - Champion is OP, no doubt about it, way too easy to get to 225 stacks and become super OP. He's way too tanky for an ADC with range & mobility, reminds me of Zeri with Trinity Force & Hydra
    - He's better solo lane than ADC, simply because on botlane, it's easier to get lane bullied/frozen on/dove than any other lane. He's a weak laner and a standard bot combo will make Smolder stack way later
    - In current state, I would no doubt first pick him in Pro Play and triple flex him
    - A lot of reasons why he is not performing well in soloq is people going wrong builds, runes and are playing him inefficiently with stacking and trading
    - Trinity Force always better than Essence Reaver. Shojin second NO MATTER WHAT. Liandry good if you lack AP damage else you buy Navori. Buying Defensive items after 2 or 3 damage items VERY GOOD. Rapidfire lategame decent.
    - ALWAYS FLEET, NEVER COMET. Reasoning: Fleet has too good synergy and the rune has too much value, the precision tree also better since you can easily play sorcery tree in secondary. Comet might feel good in early game but the rune will drop off way too quick
    - Straight up Q max in most matchups because you want Q CD lower, so you stack more. Putting 3 points in W is not very necessary, especially on sololane. ALWAYS E MAX SECOND for CD
    Enjoy your ELO.

    I’ll miss goredrinker but yeah think the item changes have overall been positive. Small amounts of Omnivamp feel nice in junglers who lack sustain in their kits and there’s no real option for vamp outside of ravenous hydra which kinda sucks on most juglers, mostly because it gives life steal and no longer applies on abilities (which granted is fair, wave clear was probably annoying to deal with in lane).

    i think the reason somlder has higher win rate bot is because of early level W spam which is more effective bot since you have two people you can hit and if you hit both it does a ton of damage, that means smolder bot has a great laning phase but you get less stacks, smolder mid, however, has a average laning phase but scales a lot faster and since winning lane is a big thing in solo queue it inflates his bot winrate

  • @joe-zt9yf

    LoL has just been getting progressively worse over time, the removal of mythics is nice, but they've mentioned the addition of riot vanguard (chinese spyware that has kernel access to your pc and all files regardless of if they're related to league of legends or not) i've played 2 arams and it just wasn't worth it, this game isn't worth being spied on by china and giving them complete access to your PC and everything that's ever going to be on it, also last thing VANGUARD CANNOT BE FULLY UNINSTALLED, IT WILL KEEP ITSELF ROOTED INTO YOUR PC EVEN AFTER UNINSTALL, do not install this chinese spyware, it's insanely dangerous.

      That's a skill issue, not a champion issue.
