Samira is out on 10.19, interesting champion. I go through how to beat her and how to itemize, choose runes and do more. All of the things are first impression and are a subject of change with time so please take it all with a grain of salt as this champion was just released.
0:00 – Abilities
5:20 – Basic combo
6:00 – Lifesteal and Crit discussion (Itemization)
9:30 – Crit Q test (IE = 25% bonus damage) is the conclusion
10:30 – Alternate builds?
13:30 – Runes and Keystone
15:25 – Passive I missed – Synergies and potential counters

For those curious about different roles and positions: I did not try enough to have a valid opinion so I am sorry. If you jungle make sure you have cc so you can use your passive to dash and cc them further and then use your e to continue dealing damage.
Always relaxed and chill and very informative. Never a lot of negativity and flame being tossed around or complaining about the game and that’s why your content is good imo.
Her dash range scales with levels
We catch u Yamato (the battleship) at the worlds casting desk ;p
OK, didn't expect Baldur's Gate references here. Have a like, Yamato!
Hi Yamato, im not sure if riot intented this or not but Runaan's Hurricane works even when you are in meele form, i found that super efficient with lifesteal and crit builds.
Jaheira from BG1? that is an instalike my friend
I really cant see how this is an ADC tbh..
Surprised you didn't touch on her taunt interaction with her passive
I appreciate the video. I noticed you found it impossible to fully demonstrate Samira's passive because of the lack of available crowd control in the practice tool; however, what if I told you that you can spawn an enemy unit next to a dragon, aggro the dragon, and have the knockback effect crowd control for you? I did this myself to verify that her passive does indeed instantaneously apply all 6 stacks of Black Cleaver, which is another interesting interaction similar to Graves's auto attacks. Anyways, I hope you find more things to discuss and enjoy the upcoming World Championship.

Yamato you have to upload daily i got use to hearing your voice when i sleep
Love any Yamatocannon video
Samira made Yone & Aphelios looks normal
Would It be champ breaking if her style rank degraded for copied moves? aa – q – aa = c rank q – aa – aa = e rank. So she's plays normally until you want to all in which is when you need to play her "properly" and actually think to get the s rank. I really don't like how you can just spam buttons until you get an s rank.

Waitting for the manamune build
Btw, you could have showcased her Passive by doing krugs, they spawn "CC'ed" when you kill the big one.
Otherwise great vid, very informative! I would have wished that you would have gone into Support combinations a bit more, especially Nami and Thresh.
BALDURS GATE!!!!!! Hope you're excited for BG3 coming out now 😀
Thanks for the video YamatoCannon. Very helpful. I tried Manamune on her and it fixes any mana issues and ramps her dmg up to 1k with IE. Great insight with Bloodthirster over Deaths Dance.
Thanks for this ! Would love to see these types of videos for meta champs <3
18:39 So maybe next a Madonna, Lady Gaga or Ariana Grande Champion Spotligt would be fine 🙂
But thanks a lot for your work, nice thouts on Samira.
Yasuo completely destroys her in lane due to her short range and his windwall. Also she can't use her dash on him because she would get destroyed in melee range.
Yamato knows hots??? !!! What is this!
Hi Yamato, loving your content as always!
If you don't mind I'd like your opinion about Black Cleaver on Samira :
I don't see it necessarily as an early purchase but more as a mid/late item. My reasoning behind it is that she loves all the stats on it : the 40 AD (of course), the 20% CDR (would bring her to 40% if she also gets ER) and also the 400 HP (very valuable for a character who needs to put herself in very dicey situations to deal damage. Also, flat HP and lifesteal synergize very well together) but also that the on-hit ms and on-hit armor shredding could be very valuable especially since each bullet of her ult applies those. This would make her insane at shredding armor for her team from all ennemies with little more than half of her ultimate and also with her melee Q cleaving targets in an AoE cone.
Also a second thought of mine : isn't Sorcery the best secondary tree for her ? Gathering storm seems too juicy to pass on considering her insane AD scalings.
Kolega great video!
Guess its time to main Malphite again, sick of this "outplay" champions, its basically like with Malphite R "Haha me press button, you dead lol funny"
Nope, she is nothing like Jaheira. Jaheira is strong, calm, compassionate, wise, headstrong, philosophical, tough and inspiring. Samira is nothing like that, she is just qiyana2, in terms of trash personality and being broken. 53% winrate on Chall already, thank you very much rito.
I don't get it how could someone not have the energy to watch a 4-minute spotlight video but have the energy to watch a 19 minute video of you doing the exact same thing
The reason her Q crit damage scales linearly with IE rather than multiplicatively like with senna is that, with senna/yasuo/yone, their critical strikes do 90% damage, aka: (1+CritDamage)x0.9, whereas Samira Q simply has 25% crit damage. Crit damage is normally 1.0 but with new crit changes in preseason will be 0.75.
I think riot massively overloaded her ult damage and underloaded the rest of her kit. Her Q should perhaps crit like regular autos, or have bonus scaling, in return for the ult damage nerf.
That's all for Shakira champion spotlight 😀
I died right here: 18:39
Good summary video tho, Keep it up!
P.S. When I think about it, she actually does sound like Shakira sometimes…
