DOUBLELIFT SHOWING THE POWER OF SAMIRA! | League of Legends

Smaira: fun champ to play. Take away the cc extending passive
Did the imperial mandate build on anivia and did insane damage.
I think Samira is definetly pretty busted right now.
I would say she was in a pretty decant place before the new items but now she's just broken and I don't see how Riot could balance her in her kit to not make her dog shit tbh.
They may just have to rebalance Immortal ShieldBow since that's the main culprit. I will say though that I disagree that her CC has to be removed.
Items
Before the item changes Samira had to make a choice in which stat she wants to invest in, if she needed lifesteal she would go for BT but that would leave her without crit and lower her dmg output.
If she wanted to go max dmage she would go for IE or Essence Reaver giving her crit but that would leave her with little sutain.
Aditionally she also kinda wants AS to help her stack up her combo faster, but getting Berserks would further delay her other items and because she tends to jump in the middle of everyone she often wanted Tabis or Mercs anyway, meaning she often wouldn't get AS until she built PD, which also gave the shield she wants. It also wasn't uncommon for her to build BC for some HP.
The problem now is that ALL of those stats that she wants, ALL of them, are one one item – Immortal ShieldBow…
AD – Check,
AS – Check,
Crit – Check,
Antiburst Shield – Check,
Lifesteal – Check,
HP – Check
That item simply does too much, and it synergises with Samira too well. IMO they should at least move the shield passive back to PD.
To add insult to the injury ALL adc items now give Crit, which is a stat she desperatly wants but couldn't really justify that well before more tahn 75% at best, or 50% in most games. The fact that BT and QSS are now crit items is huge for her, she can get massive sutain and anti-cc while not sacreficing dmg output.
She is really geniuenly OP at the moment.
Her CC
Ok so this is going against the tide but I honestly think the CC on her is perfectly valid. Why do I think that? She's not the only ADC with CC in her kit, and her CC is not even that strong.
For starters she cannot trigger it by her self, it's a synergy only thing with other champ, she is locked autoattacking when triggering it and the CC in ony 0.5s long.
This means that if mutiple people get CCed at the same time she is likely only gonna get her knockup on one of them, in addition because the CC is so short timing it perfectly to actually get use out of it is incredibly difficult. Like if someone is under 1.5s stun and you trigger this 1s in you're not actually extending anything, if you trigger it 1.25s in than you still only get 0.25s extra and honestly getting this precise is really difficult.
I think people get triggered by her CC more because it's very visual so it feels like she's doing a lot of work with it, but it actually doesn't do that much. The passive more about the dash to help her get in rather than the CC.
She's an adc with the lowest possible range (500) that has to be really all-in, I think having this tiny CC on her is alright.
Most other ADC also have CC in their kit, much stronger than hers while still being able to do a shittone of damage and from a safe distance.
Some good examples are :
– Cait with her trap, which can also be used in synergy with other CC to "extend it" and gives a massive dmg nuke. She also has a dash with a slow that also gives an echanced auto and Cait has 650 range!!
– Tristana has an R that can basically peel for her and she can knockback multiple champs, she also has a pretty potent 60% slow on her W for an all in. Again this champ also has a massive dash for mobility that also has two reset mehcanics and she scales up to 661 AA range.
– Jinx has her traps, a 1.5s root that also can be synergized with other CC to "extend it", while she has no dashes she does have a slow on her W and her passive gives a massive MS boost for mobility. She is also an AoE teamfight monster and scales to 650 range.
– Ashe with her R and W, she has no mobility but she can make a literarly game changing 3.5s stun across the map and her slow is incredibly obnoxious. 600 AA range, massive poke range with W.
– Jhin has a 2s root on his W, runs faster than Rammus after every AA and has 2 executes in his kit. He has 550 range but because of the nature of his autoattacks he can reposition a lot more between autos.
Yada yada yada, I could keep going but I think this is enough to get my point across. A 0.5s knockback, dependant on other cc on a champ with 500 range is not the end of the world, and arguably she does need it.
And no, I don't main Samira, this is just my objective opinion on the matter.
I think to balance Samira they need to take the cc off her passive. Keep the dash because it plays to the thematic of her character so it should just be an empowered auto.
Her w should be changed to something else. Maybe damage reduction something.
Ult should lose the life steal but keep crit.
Get rid of sami's lifesteal on her ult or make it 1/3 effective like all aoe abilities. If you're intent on it having vamp then make it not an aoe or have an actual fucking cooldown
I don't get why rito put omnivamp on things.. Like eclipse is the best mythic because of it
Samira is completely busted. AOE windwall, where you're literally going to be against at least one ranged champ every game, and a CC extender? I don't know how this stuff gets through the final approval phase.
C9 Perkz?
Iβd love to see a karthus or Pyke game soon
If you want to spectate a jungle you should go for TSM Spica. That kid has some moves
Hey Huzz, just looked at it, apparently there is a challenge on speed running the tutorial, which is why pants are dragon was spamming MF on the tutorial/coop vs. AI. He posted to twitter about it on 11/20
Worth noting 9:00 leona went onto morgana and baited her into shielding herself then used her cc on draven
Edit: ah he pointed it out when it happened again
Yeah lethality jhin is a monster. Been running dark harvest and buying eclipse. You can merc assassins with one item when they try to gank. Its fun.
Samira does have a niche. CC hard counters here and without team setup as long as the enemy comp isn't too soloq (aka pretty bad) she becomes much less useful. She plays skirmishes pretty well but in teamfights she's hit or miss.
I don't mind the amount of damage in the game right now. It fits my playstyle pretty well
I ban Samira every time I play bot lane. I play mostly support, and it makes me so sad when I have like a great Nami r lined up. It feels like its gonna hit like 4-5 people, then she pushes w, and it just feels bad :(. I think she is slightly broken, but not terrible. I just dislike playing against her personally.
Huzz play tristana or spectate a tristana game. She is a sleeper really really strong champion that nobody is playing atm. You can stomp games with her in the early game if you play aggressive. She does insaaaaane damage with hail of blades in the early and she procs her e easily
+1 I.P.
Yeah the enemy Draven was Sneaky, so the cull choice at the start makes way more sense. Because he's in love with the Cut Down rune. Which is incredibly min/max and since I believe Draven has less base health than Samira, especially since Doublelift went Dblade, and Draven obviously has less base health than Leo he'll be able to proc Cut Down with every auto. Again, it's very min/max and I don't even think that much damage early, but that's just Sneaky's thing.
the way he is moving is hurting my eyes
I would like to see a nerf/rework for Samira: she can ult all the time with an adjusted cooldown for obvious reasons but her damage, duration and life steal scale with her skill rating. This makes her more consistent in my opinion but the exact damage numbers IDK BC I'm not a game designer
I absolute hate Samira. Her Kit is so overloaded it could have been an April Fool Joke Riot made 3 Years ago. The thing I dislike most is that I have never met a decent Samira player in my games. They all sucked ass but still got at least a QuadraKill under the tower during the games.
I would remove the stupid knock-up passive, the E reset (only if she gets the kill) and would make her stand still while using her windwall (like Yasuo) in order to nerf her and she would be probably still strong enough. People would have to learn how to get better on her.
I cant stand samira for one reason and that is that an adc SHOULD NOT have a CC extention, it just does not make any logical sense to me and they have not removed it yet
Is the Nocturne Scrub Noob?? o.O
Among us pleb
Huzz, did you ever do game 4 of worlds finals?
For additional context- the Warwick in this game "Parnellyx11" is considered by many to be the best WW player in the world. Think he's reached challenger in top,jungle and mid Warwick.
I swear Huzzy sometimes speaks in Yoda "Fast clearing, does Samira have".
Looking forward to the league discussion video ! Can't wait to write a 2 page comment on everything I think is wrong with League right now, and how I think a lot of people will stop playing the game if riot doesn't do something about it quick.. Myself included! Great commentary as always Huzzy
Ouuuu Doublelift
I think pants are dragon is spamming bot games for missions, you get quick games and it counts towards missions so you get the points quicker
honestly i would love to see ap Volibear top, it's as strong as ever and deals insane amounts of damage. The omnivamp is huge on him and nashors makes him demolish people. Played it 4 times so far and won lane in all of them, it's just a lot of fun and a lot of damage.
Okrykey is a masterEUW/ challengerEUNE yorick player and is occasionally playing on his mains
Would really like to see some jungle kindred, spectates and see your perspective on them, you (almost) always teach me something new
I stopped playing this stupid game and I found some piece !! Try it out it helps a lot with actual life ! If u have nothing to do but play league trust me there are so much more Games that are FUN TO PLAY out there !
I dislike Samira hardly xd
Can you do a review on TheBausffs π
I might be wrong but doesn't CC override the last with the most recent CC, if so then doesn't samira just replace it with a .5 sec knock up rather than extending it rather than what might be a 1.5 or 2 second stun?
Soo many salty silver players in the comments, I think samira is perfecly fine just as she is now (If nerf is needed just lower the healing from her ult a bit). Any type of CC hard counters her, her W has a massive cooldown and she only has 500 range. Just cc her when she ults or when her W is on cooldown and she cant do anything. If she QSS she needs to restart her style points and you will have ur cc ability ready for her next ult. It's not Samira that is broken, It's Riots new items.
I know this is the Samira video, but I feel compelled to share that Iβve come around to your view on damage at least to some extent after playing against a Karthus yesterday. I was Zyra support. With full health (1300 HP), was reduced to 350 HP by one Karthus ult. Absolutely ridiculous.
if you want to spectate a warwick player, check out the warwick in this game. he is a warwick main on NA =)
Watch Professor Akali! Plzzzzzz πππππππ
After playing samira for about a week I've come to say that samira is not as broken as people say. She rewards skill. And the skill floor on here is fairly high
Mind looking over some Warwick games? He used to be one of my go to junglers but now he feels super bad to play for some reason. Maybe the item path
On the topic of anivia huz i am a anivia main and for now even with the changes on pbe that are extremely satisfying i struggle because i am lacking hp compare to last season… losing roa was annoying but not mandatory but loosing liandrys Hp and morrello hp hits anivia hard i feel like specialy that tanks are great right now…
Doublelift vs Sneaky
Pants are Dragon did the Coop vs AI games because he was trying to set a world record speed-run in League of Legends in the training AI bots game. (And he pulled it off for roughly a day before a chap from Switzerland managed to take the world record away from him.)
I've been putting up with people playing yasuo and yi for years, so i think it is time for me to have something a bit broken that I actually like playing, like samira.
