Not even a month after Zeri’s release we’re already seeing a new champion being introduced to the game and WHAT a champion she’s potentially going to be. Let’s talk about Renata Glasc: The Chem Baroness! Is Riot gonna maintain their streak of champions who are actually thoughtfully made? Or is she gonna be the next 200 years?

According to her designer, Renata's purple isn't actually shimmer, it's just a reversal of the zaun color palette made to implement more unique Zaun designs in the game.
dude its not shimmer
SPOILER ALERT FOR ARCANE
Even if it was shimmer that she was using it is heavily implied shimmer was used by Singed to keep Jinx alive so perhaps whatever method he used is what Renata uses for her w
Renata is a jojo charatcer with her walk
who said she was using shimmer? It could be something completely different, she has a voice line where she tells singed it's a shame that he refused to work with her, so I think it makes more sense that she's using something completely new. It's capable of bringing someone back to life and making them much stronger than normal, so it sounds like a some form of adrenaline steroid hybrid drug, maybe a hallucinogen too, idk
This will be my new permaban in ranked
I think renata Glasc's W is absolutely masterful at portraying her persona into an ability and also differentiates how she plays from other enchanters. Sorry in advance for the incoming wall of text.
Many enchanters will spam out a heal or shield or something on a low cooldown constantly, but not Renata Glasc. Ms.Glasc is a busy woman. She doesn't have time to keep throwing out snippets of healing and shielding in some foolhardy attempt to keep someone alive. It's neither effective nor practical anyhow. No, she gives you one buff, a very strong buff in attack speed and movement speed, and tells you to go kill whomever she doesn't like. If you, the damage carry, do your job, and you do it in a timely manner, you will be rewarded with the buff duration refreshing, showing that she sees you as a good investment, and thus worth keeping roided up, so you can keep killing things she doesn't like while she attends to other things.
Now of course, let's say you're doing a great job and all, but you slip up a little and… die. Accidents happen. Ms.Glasc understands. Lucky for you, Renata Glasc is a generous woman with a laundry list of connections. She has every medicine and every method to keep you alive, but on one condition, and it isn't some frivilous payment: you have to kill someone she doesn't like, just as you've been doing, and you have to do it quickly. If you do, she will completely revive you so you can keep… killing things she doesn't like. That's what it's all about, really. She's just conditioning her damage carry to keep killing things as efficiently as possible, with her oh so generous assistance, and they have their own guaruntee at life so long as they keep on being her good little employee of the month.
THAT is the masterwork behind her W really. It may not be a balanced ability at all, as it's a ridiculously powerful buff with a (highly conditional) revive, but it is undeniably a perfect encapsulation of the Capitalist Overlord that Renata Glasc truly is. I really love this character's design, I love her gameplay, and I can't wait for her to hit the live servers.
Renata doesnt use shimmer… its actually pure chemtech.
Veigar being the most powerfull? Looks at asol litterally the creator of the universe
The Hog Rider card is unlocked from the Spell Valley (Arena 5). He is a very fast building-targeting, melee troop with moderately high hitpoints and damage. He appears just like his Clash of Clans counterpart; a man with brown eyebrows, a beard, a mohawk, and a golden body piercing in his left ear who is riding a hog. A Hog Rider card costs 4 Elixir to deploy.
Strategy
His fast move speed can boost forward mini tanks like an Ice Golem in a push. At the same time, he can also function as a tank for lower hitpoint troops such as Goblins as he still has a fair amount of health. Most cheap swarms complement the Hog Rider well, as they are nearly as fast as him and usually force more than one card out of the opponent's hand.
The Hog Rider struggles with swarms, as they can damage him down and defeat him quickly while obstructing his path. Barbarians in particular can fully counter him without very strict timing on the defender's part, though be wary of spells.
A Hunter can kill the Hog Rider in 2 hits if placed right on top of it. However, if you place something in front of the Hog Rider, the Hunter's splash will damage the Hog Rider and hit the card in front of it more.
The Hog Rider in conjunction with the Freeze can surprise the opponent and allow the Hog Rider to deal much more damage than anticipated, especially if the opponent's go-to counter is a swarm, or swarms are their only effective counter to him. Skeletons and Bats will immediately be defeated by the spell, while Spear Goblins, Goblins, and Minions will be at low enough health to be defeated by a follow up Zap or Giant Snowball.
However, this strategy isn't very effective against buildings as the Hog Rider will take a while to destroy the building, giving the opponent ample time to articulate another counter.
Against non-swarm troops, it can deal a lot of damage during the freeze time, but this can allow the opponent to set up a massive counterpush. For this reason, players should either only go for a Hog Rider + Freeze when they have other units backing it up from a counterattack, or if the match is about to end and they need to deal as much damage as possible.
It is not a good idea to send in a Hog Rider simply to destroy a building, especially if it is the only building targeting unit available, as defeating Crown Towers becomes substantially more difficult. Spells or simply waiting out the lifetime of the building are more effective. The exception to this is an Elixir Collector placed in front of the King's Tower. If a Hog Rider placed at the bridge, he can destroy the Collector for a positive Elixir trade, though the damage from both Princess Towers will usually mean he does not survive to deal any damage to them. However, if the opponent sends in defending troops, it can be an opportunity to gain spell damage value.
In a deck with several low-cost cards, it might be worth it to simply send the Hog Rider against one building. These decks shuffle their card rotation quick enough, that they will arrive to their next Hog Rider before the next building arrives in the opponent's card rotation.
Long-ranged troops like Musketeer and Flying Machine can snipe those buildings, preserving some of the Hog Rider's health, possibly allowing it to get some Tower damage.
When there are buildings placed in the middle to counter the Hog Rider, understanding the placement of the Hog Rider and the type of building placed can help the Hog Rider to bypass certain buildings.
Passive buildings such as spawners and Elixir Collector have a larger hitbox than defensive buildings; which means that if a passive building was placed 3 tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, then it is impossible for the Hog Rider to bypass that placement as the Hog Rider will get pulled to that building.
Defensive buildings have a smaller hitbox than a passive building, which means if that if a defensive building was placed three tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, a Hog Rider placed at the very left or right side of the Arena may be able to bypass it due to its smaller hitbox.
If the player has a building already placed down in the center of the arena, and the opponent tries to bypass it with a Hog Rider at the edge of the arena, they can use certain air troops to push the Hog Rider towards the building as it jumps over the river, effectively denying the bypass attempt. They must be already hovering over the correct placement, as very quick reflexes are required to correctly perform this technique.
For Bats, Skeleton Dragons, and Minion Horde, they should be placed right in front of the Hog Rider as soon as it is deployed.
For Minions, Skeleton Barrel, Mega Minion, Flying Machine, Electro Dragon, Baby Dragon, Inferno Dragon, Balloon, and Lava Hound, stagger the above placement one tile to the right if the Hog Rider is placed on the left side of the arena, and vice versa.
They can also use ground troops to achieve the same result. Something like an Ice Golem deployed at the Hog Rider’s landing spot will obstruct his path and force him to go around the unit, which causes him to be closer to the building instead of the Crown Tower.
The Hog Rider can kite Very Fast non-building targeting troops due to his own Very Fast speed and building only targeting if he is placed on the fourth tile from the bridge, slightly into the opposite lane. He can also stall grounded units when placed right at the bridge. He will pull them towards him while deploying, and then be untargetable by them when he jumps over the bridge. After landing, he will pull them back. This can be useful when the player needs to deal damage in the same lane they are defending. It will also help separate troops behind a tank in a large push.
A Tornado placed on the second tile front of the player's King's Tower and staggered two tiles towards the Princess Tower will activate it without any damage dealt to the Princess Tower, helping them in defending future pushes. This can also be a method of mitigating all damage dealt to a Princess Tower, but doing this more than three times may result in the King's Tower's health being low enough to be targeted directly, opening up the possible threat of a back door three crown. A better alternative is to pull the Hog away from the Princess Tower into the attacking range of all three Crown Towers, which will negate all damage as long as none of them are already distracted
A very powerful combo is the Hog Rider, the Musketeer, and the Valkyrie, typically referred to as the Trifecta. The Musketeer will defend against most troops, while the Valkyrie can protect her and the Hog Rider from swarms or high damage units. The Hog Rider is used to deal damage to the tower.
This can be effectively countered by Lightning, one-shotting the Musketeer and severely damaging both the Valkyrie and Hog Rider. The Minion Horde is also effective, but the enemy can Zap them and the Musketeer will one-shot them all. Even if the Musketeer is defeated, the Hog Rider and Valkyrie will have enough time to severely damage the Tower.
The Hog Rider should be placed behind the Valkyrie to give it a boost so that it stays in front of the Hog Rider, protecting it.
A Hog Rider combined with a Goblin Barrel can be awkward for the opponent to defend against. Timing it so that the Hog Rider is tanking the tower shots for the Goblins is the most effective way to deal damage. However, a Barbarian Barrel can shut this down with minimal Tower damage for a positive Elixir trade, as long as the Goblin Barrel was placed directly on the Tower.
Pairing the Hog Rider with the Balloon can deal devastating damage. If executed properly, the Hog Rider will act as a tank while the Balloon threatens to deal massive damage. The Hog Rider can also destroy any buildings attempting to slow down the combo. However, this combo is very vulnerable to swarms and anti-air cards as neither of the troops target anything but buildings. Additionally, they are easy to separate, due to the disparity in move speeds. Alternatively, the Hog Rider and the Balloon can be played in different lanes to spread the opponent's defenses thin. However, a building or Tornado can bring them back together for an easier defense.
The Hog Rider can be paired with the Lumberjack as both a swarm bait and damage combo. It is a very fast combo with an extremely high damage output potential, so the enemy will likely try to counter it with a swarm. If this happens, use a spell like Arrows to render the opponent defenseless. If they manage to defeat the Lumberjack, the dropped Rage will make the Hog Rider even more dangerous than it normally is.
A fast and deadly combination is the Hog Rider and Mini P.E.K.K.A. combo. Both units are fast but the Mini P.E.K.K.A. does much more damage and does not attack only buildings so the Mini P.E.K.K.A. can deal with troops like the Executioner and Musketeer. However, this combo can be defeated with swarms like Skeleton Army, which will defeat both of them since neither of them can deal area damage. They are also unable to target air troops, so the Minion Horde can stop this easily.
A risky play is to deploy the Hog Rider at the bridge as soon as the match starts. If the opponent does not react fast enough, the Hog Rider will deal a significant amount of damage to the Princess Tower. This can also allow the player to quickly scout the opponent's deck if they happen to react to him fast enough.
Dude play it then talk. It's not sn issue his w and has poor laning phase
Low numbers yeah, but talking about "Discouraging interaction" wich you talked about in "Badly design abilities", in the first minutes you showed 2 clips of Renata, and in both clips Her W discouraged people from doing ANYTHING other than running away from her carry.
I still haven't watched the video, so I don't know your opinion about it, but I just wanted to express my HATE for her, and why I'll be perma banning her in my games
me as a sup main i cant wait for the realese i haves saved blue escence and i will play her on day 1 if i get her cause i think she will get banned or picked before i can pick her
I don't quite understand why they didn't switch bailout with hostile takeover. Just make it a cone effect and change the time bailout is active from 3 to 5 seconds sense it's and ult.
This is the first champion in a long time that doesn't seem super OP on first glance, and I'm actually excited to see what she does to the game.
"why it saves you"
they used Shimmer to literally "animate almost dead people" ( Vander falls into shimmer and does reanimate ), and a small quantity can help the body withstand things ( Caitlyn was healed with it, and Viktor is using it to withstand the negative effects of the hexcore )
Akshan revive is in lore. The Absolver revives those killed by people shot with it.
The problem is his whole passive there, it doesn't have sense in lore ( i would expect a bonus against scoundrels instead of his "three hit bonus dmg" thing)
seems more and more that riot is trying to implement dota abilities
that moment the sylas used renata's r better than her
Hey Vars how do you format your videos? You draw the videos out quite long sometimes for how simple they are sometimes for our entertainment and it’s pretty cool how you do that
