In the past few months, the new champions in League of Legends can be described by the word “disaster”. The first is the artist Van Canh – Hwei when only owning about 30% of the win rate at the time of launch. For Briar, this character also has a very low win rate of 38.17% when launched and Riot had to buff this character continuously to improve this index.
Hwei when launched only WinRate is about 30% in both the middle and support
The main cause of these bad launches comes from Hwei or Briar's plays and plays are quite difficult to get acquainted. The fact that Hwei owns up to 10 skills or Briar has a self -provoking mechanism is unique and interesting designs. However, they made League of Legends gamers take a long time to understand these characters.
Briar when launched also owns a “bottom touch” win rate of 38.17%
It is the aforementioned debut that many people think that the new Smolder also has an equally “disaster” debut. However, Smolder possesses a relatively positive win rate of 41.99% after a few days of official launch. Although it is still standing in the position of the “book” about the win rate among the gunner, Smold's launch index is clearly better than Hwei and Briar.
Although it is still weak in the position of the gunner, the win rate of Smolder is not too low as the case of Hwei or Briar
Basically, Smold's skill set is not as complicated as Hwei or possessing a unique effect similar to Briar. Besides, the Gunner play style causing damage mainly with techniques is no longer a new thing for League of Legends players. Therefore, the gunner players will quickly get acquainted and use Smolder even though this character has just launched.
Smold's play is quite similar to Ezreal, so gamers can get used to this character quite easily
However, Smolder still exists quite large weaknesses and makes this character not able to have a good index at the moment. Typically, small fire dragon is very weak in the early stages of the match when it is necessary to farm a lot, accumulated intrinsic to reach the threshold of strength. If Smolder lost the road too heavy or lying down many times at the beginning of the match, this character would become extremely “waste” when losing both equipment and internal stacking.
Smold is very weak at the beginning of the match and often falls into the situation of losing the road
In short, the winning rate of Smold's acceptance is a positive signal for Riot after a series of new “disaster”. Of course, for Smolder to become stronger in the future, Riot should have reasonable adjustments to this character. Perhaps the buff a bit of the basic index for the small fire will help this small dragon no longer too weak, easy to be bullied when traveling.
