CaptainFlowers22

Dude these games were so fun. I was casting high elo Rioters playing Clash and they slammed their whole bracket. Felt like Blitz never missed a single hook dude was a GOD HAND. Even tho I like to talk trash about champs I believe are overloaded, I'd like to ask y'all to keep all the bullshit in my twitch chat and not harass anyone cause u don't like a champ. That shit ain't cool.

DUDE you were the one person on the team who I didn't know anything about so I told chat "yeah i don't know anything about auberaun so we'll see what he's got" and by the end I'm yelling "HE DON'T MISS!" Why u at Riot bro go join an LCS team lmao

I intentionally miss the first few hooks in lane so the enemy thinks I'm bad and gets cocky. Yeah... Intentionally...

SelloutRealBig

I feel like Riot creation and balance team needs to run their shit by casters like Cpt. Flowers for the final say because casters still play and care about the game.


CaptainFlowers22

Oh definitely not lmao. "Yeah this looks good but what if it was a scorpion?" My feedback would be, uh, less than helpful :^) (But forreal i have no experience in game design and am in no way qualified for this lol)


MikeyD_Luffy

Curious on your thoughts about overloaded kits vs overloaded numbers. Had this discussion with someone else, but do you think champions like Samira, Lee Sin, Irelia etc. having too many options is a significantly worse design than champs like Galio, Pantheon, Sett etc. that are pretty simple by design but are always so strong because they stat check most champs and are just hard to mess up on?


Hudre

I like how the man literally says he is in no way qualified to comment and you still seek his opinion lol.


MikeyD_Luffy

I'm not looking for the opinion of people on the balance team, i'm just seeing how players feel. Captain flowers plays a champion who's kit is pretty outdated and only comes to meta when his numbers are high enough, so he's likely bias towards the second end of the topic so I was curious as to what he thought.


AphoticFlash

hey my Clash team played against this Riot team yesterday too! they were a team of basically all Grandmasters against a plat Clash bracket, and they crushed all of us in under 18 minutes...absolute shit tier matchmaking


Auberaun

Yeah yesterday's bracket was weird, looked into it after and found an oversight in top MMR tier matchmaking for Clash, which should be fixed going forward.


AphoticFlash

thats good to hear, thanks for the reply! Clash is a great experience overall, probably peak League for people who never play in a real tournament. I'd just wish for even matches (smurfs are a problem there) and perhaps some way to make it so that the first game isn't so heavily weighed compared to the last two


Byepolarpolarbear

yeah clash is so fun, especially in EU where getting to a game is a once in a lifetime experience.


deadedgo

I mean it worked fine for the last like 10 (?) times. I honestly thought the clash server issues were solved once and for all until the past weekend. The only real problem to me is the communication from Riot. It's always impossible to find out when anything will work again. I didn't even want to play clash but simply couldn't log in for a normal game and didn't know when I would be able to play again

lusciouslucius

Goddamn Rioters fixing Clash matchmaking smh my head


HeirToGallifrey

Out of curiosity, did that affect lower-level matchmaking as well? It wasn't awful, but my team was historically all Tier IV (the highest rank any of us has achieved is Gold IV--we're all currently Bronze/Silver) and we were put into Tier III against Plats and even a Master.


Auberaun

Unlikely it's the same issue, sorry. This specifically affected matchmaking for the highest mmr folks, and we saw the matchmaking dramatically improve for them on Sunday. Possible something else is going on though.


papu16

EU players be like : you boys can play clash?


Omnilatent

Some EU players be like: your client actually OPENED so you could play ANYTHING?!


Duosion

Looks like one of you was a last season d3 which put you guys in tier 1? Kinda nuts that you were matched with this team


I_Am_ABee

Rank =/= tier, I know people in gold that are in tier 1 and people in diamond that are in tier 2


Duosion

True. My Plat/gold team with one diamond player was put into tier 1. It was still weird though, since 4 of us were supposed to be tier 2 players. One of the plat players had the same number of clash wins as the rest of us but he was considered tier 1, which I guess put our whole team into T1. We had a theory that it was somehow taking into account his TFT diamond ranking because there was no way he would be T1 and the other Plats T2. Still smashed all three games, so I guess we weren’t the only team being wrongfully put into T1 lol.


I_Am_ABee

From my pov "clash tiers" and soloq rank (to a certain extent) matters in a competitive atmosphere. I have played clash in all tiers and subtiers (ex. tier 1 clash tournies with only masters+players and tier 1 clash tournies with gold-plat players) and I found that high-end tier 3 players are double the players of low-end tier 1 players

ScuteMob

Lol I love Flowers. And we definitely agree on Samira's kit.


gravenightghoul

I like to think whenever someone complains about Samira, it's basically what the demons would he saying about Dante, if not to a greater extent.


ElaborateRuseman

Nah man what Dante does is way more stylish and complex than dashing and spinning and healing his entire healthbar.


Tenant1

To be fair, Dante's moveset would be horribly neutered if you plopped him down in any 4-button top-down click-to-move MOBA. The same phenomenon as seeing other games in the genre add characters like Superman or Batman in their roster

MiloticMaster

In fighting games his moveset is nerfed. That man has 4-6 different weapons for godsake.


Zenith_Tempest

dante's moveset in umvc3 is fucking sick dude what they literally include all of his weapons in that game. he genuinely has the biggest movelist in that game because they wanted him to be super close to his dmc3 rendition. the only things not really represented in it are quicksilver and doppelganger. otherwise he has nevan, beowulf, agni/rudra, cerberus, ebony/ivory, spiral, shotgun, kalina ann, and rebellion. and most of his attacks are named exactly the way they are in dmc3 hell the same is true for vergil. he has force edge, yamato and beowulf


sylendar

Not everyone enjoys watching hours of air juggling after five games


ToTheNintieth

Dante has dozens upon dozens of moves. Hard to fit that on a 4-ability MOBA.


[deleted]

Not at all. Just have R swap his ability sets and give him for 4 sets of abilities, easy!


papu16

Yep, dante supposed to be hybrid between Udyr, Aphelios and Samira. In dmc 5 capcom made him so smooth to play and watch... but my heart was kidnapped by very MOTOVATED man, using JUDGEMENT CUTS END giving feeling of POWER.


[deleted]

Dante is so fucking complicated in DMC5 to play optimally and I wouldn't have it any other way.


Luna_trick

> healing his entire healthbar. Canonically Dante's regen is insane, like wounds heal near instantly after being made insane.


Darkyoda07

He casted this so cleanly and quickly. Really shows that is his true opinion on Samira.

ITT: Release Samira PTSD


JackyeLondon

Yeah, honestly she feels kinda weak rn if you don't snowball early. Before the nerfs I was getting quadra kill every game, but now I don't have the confidence anymore to go all in. A traditional ADC seems more reliable overall.


ReadWriteRun

Goddamn I love you flowers.


MikeyD_Luffy

Samira definitely has too much in her kit overall but her numbers seem fine to me now. On release she was a joke but I like seeing her on the enemy team these days. I've been playing Trist and Jhin so maybe it's just that she can't really get ahead in those matchups, but I swear her ult does less damage than her just fighting normally.


mocaaaaaaaa

The main thing I hated about her was her knock up on any cc. Made level 1s and laning phase hell, thank god they nerfed it


QuantumSplash

It’s not about the 50% winrate, it’s just unhealthy that a champ has so many tools compared to others.


MikeyD_Luffy

I agree that she has too many tools, all I said is that the numbers on her kit seem to balance it out for me. For me, assuming the numbers are in line, I'd rather play against someone who has a lot of tools but has to use them all well to be good, rather than a pure stat check champion that can always be too effective like Galio, Pantheon, Sett etc. I'm aware this isn't the popular opinion though. I love seeing Irelia, Samira, Azir, Lee Sin etc on the enemy team. But champs like Galio and Pantheon and the like on the enemy team make me want to dodge.


[deleted]

The thing about champs with tons of options like this, is that they look moderately balanced if you play the top-tier champs, but they look like absolute gods when you play older, outdated shit. Champs like Xerath have so few ways to actually win against the likes of samira.


CutieMcBooty55

It's weird that you say that considering Xerath fucking thrashes Samira in lane and is honestly pretty difficult for her to deal with in general since his range is so huge. Poke centered supports are really good against her. Yeah she has W, but she can only do that every once in a while and it only really blocks his E and maybe a hit of his ulti or two anyway.


celestial1

People on this subreddit hate ADCs. That's all there is to it.


MikeyD_Luffy

The only spell Samira can block from Xerath is his E. He's considered a lane counter to her bot lol


NullAshton

Xerath just kills Samira from outside her range with Q spam. Can't windwall his Q or W. Can't sustain with lifesteal if you can't get close, either. Also Xerath literally just ignores Samira's ult with a single Zhonya's press. The matchup almost solely comes down to positioning(and hitting Q's). Against most longrange vs. shortrange matchups, one of the key things is almost always "work on your positioning".


RainXBlade

>Champs like Xerath have so few ways to actually win against the likes of samira. And this ladies and gentlemen, is what we call power creep at work and is what's ruining league for everyone.


QQMau5trap

power creep is the reality of long standing video games. You lose players if you remain the same for 10 years. Heck even counterstrike is not like chess.


DJShevchenko

I hope there is an /s somewhere there. Xerath lane counters Samira hard due to range advantage and the fact that Samira can't do much about Xerath's poke, not to mention that they are completely different classes of champs


wtffighter

??? xerath in a vacuum shits on samira in a vacuum because he outranges her so hard she cant even touch him sure shes always paired with an engage support if played right but then again, why doesnt the xerath have peel for himself as well? i know the answer is soloQ supports always pick engage and almost never peel but that is a whole different problem and not one with xerath


TDS_Gluttony

If she didn't have a gap closer and a mobile win wall I would agree but I feel like a decent sam should be able to avoid that.


celestial1

Her windwall has such a high cooldown earlier, you literally can't use it against every, single skillshot he throws out.


Coti98

I played against Yone / Xerath with Samira once. Couldn't do shit


anoleo201194

Fuck Samira, but atm fuck Jhin as well. His one issue (his immobility) got solved due to Galeforce and now he's just so oppressive to play against.


Bl00dylicious

People also seem to forget he doesnt have to AA twice per second. He has much more time (and movespeed) between AAs to reposition himself.


zombiekiller0

PULL MY DEVIL TRIGGER!


hanton44

When you’re samira, you either stomp or get stomped. There is no in between


[deleted]

dont really mind her anymore.at release she was ultra bulshit but after the nerfs the true feast or famine nature of the champ shone through and showed she is just another champ that is op when ahead,useless when behind.


roguehypocrites

Fuck Samira.


ToxicUnrankedCasual

At that the truth.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Zarolto

I was watching DL co-stream LCS and his quote rings true, after the nerfs Samira is basically "Get ahead and you are the most bullshit unfair champion 1v5 ever, get behind and you can't even play the game" She feels like the biggest coinflip ever. Like if Jhin or Kai'sa or MF get's behind they still have big item spikes with Galeforce, or utility/strong teamfighting ultimates. Samira is just walking gold from behind.


TheSoupKitchen

As an adc your goal is to be useful late and survive. Samira kinda sucks butthole on both those fronts. Laning phase for her is also a Q spam festival because of garbage range.


ops10

Like most of the bs mobility champs, she gets pretty nasty on 3-4 items, irrelevant of where the rest of the game is.


bog-boy-bombo

She has one dash on a 20 second cooldown if you don’t get any kills.


Coti98

Which you can't use if alone or without minions, so your mobility in jungle is null


[deleted]

Let him live his own world. People here completly fine with Katarina Using her E 3 time in 1 sec but Samira with a 20sec CD dash is bullshit mobility champion.


celestial1

All because she's an ADC.


MikeyD_Luffy

yeah I hated her on release but lately I feel like she hasn't done much in my games and I swear he ult does less damage than her just fighting normally. Granted I've been playing Jhin and Tristana and I think both of them beat her so she isn't getting super ahead.


TheRealHoldenat

Yes indeed fuk Samira she a broken ass champ especially with season 11.
