If you ward in the corner to your right (past the chickens bush) at 1:15-20 you can see the cross sooner. If you know they invade (you have enough time to get to the wave for xp), it lets your jg know if they need to vertical. It will expire just a few seconds after the cross, so you will have a new ward for scuttle fight too. + its less likely to be seen by sweeper, if they decide to 4 camp into mid, they wont know that youre aware of the possibility

Is this ward useful as a roaming support?

yo bro i saw a channel impersonating u called irelking i think u should look into it

I think Shadowflames viability really depends on the percent of damage that falls under the threshold with stormsurge being better for melees and assassins and shadowflame being better for consistent. It also is enemy and itemisation dependant but a champ that does 5 instances of 19% max hp true damage wants stormsure more commonly than a champ that does 19 instances of 5%

so what is syndra? you briefly mentioned her but im curious if you think shes a shadow flame champ or not

I just dislike the high cooldown on stormsurge. It's good at bursting an isolated target but in teamfights shadowflame's passive has higher value

Its awesome on xerath and he is THE BURST MAGE

commenting to boost algorithm this is a great video

Ever since Stormsurge got more and more hit after its resurgence, it has been a niche item for champions that care about squeezing as much magic penetration as possible or their play pattern is revolved around absolutely 100-0 their opponents (to which I maybe agree, Zoe falls into that category as Shadowflame does not activate if you deal your damage above the threshold but Zoe is a champion that I almost never see), even the mentioned Lux deals her damage in 3 spells plus if you include the auto attack/s to maximize damage. Outside of that, I disagree that it is better. Most of the mid lane mages that want to prioritize damage against squishies would go Luden's Companion into Shadowflame and we've seen plenty of times what the result is when you pair the two items alongside Sorcerer's Shoes against the targets in question. If you are unable to replicate the outcome, you wouldn't be able to replicate it with Stormsurge in place of Shadowflame. My examples here would be Syndra or Orianna for example. Both can deal a large amount of damage in a matter of a second, but neither deal it in a single spell that brings you from full health directly into a gray screen, even Syndra's ultimate orbs each deal separate damage and even if I'm not bringing my math notebook with me - I am also confident in thinking that Shadowflame will deal more damage than the approximate ~140 of damage that the funny effect of Stormsurge. You also fail to take into consideration the fact that the "active" of Stormsurge has a cooldown and unless you reach the takedown for the effect to hit others - it's simply used on a single champion and it's out for the next 30s. Shadowflame scales better in that regard as you can keep taking advantage of that effect as a fight keeps progressing. "Hwei is not a champion with low cooldowns" is a funny take given that you are looking at a singular point Q and saying that, it's already -2 seconds of cooldown with your current haste. To what you also mention in a comment "but most poke/burst mages arent executing people, they are simply chunking them or straight up killing them from full hp", I covered some of it in my own comment but also it's not about executing or not, it's the fact that you are dealing way more damage by going Shadowflame against the targets you are buying those items against. If you are looking to poke tanks, or champions with high maximum hp - then you are looking in the wrong category of items. In my eyes, the only time Stormsurge is includeed in a build is when you are trying to maximize the flat magic penetration on a champion that does not take slot for a Lost Chapter item (for example Akali or Elise, but there used to be that variant of a Syndra build back when Stormsurge was overtuned and now there is the one with Viktor that was popularized by Veigar v2). If it works for you, that is great. But that doesn't mean it is objectively correct. There is more to a game of League of Legends than absolutely min-max perfecting your build, as even pros lose to the Shopkeeper.

thank you ckreborn

I know Diana is an assassin but what would be better for her shadowflame or stormsurge?

Personally I disagree with the assessment that a champion is either a shadowflame champion or a stormsurge champion. in terms of the items' unqiue effects, this is correct, but the main thing is the flat pen. flat pen is only good when you have a lot of it. only having 10 flat pen is very negligible in terms of its effect on your overall damage. additionally, flat pen is less effective the more mr the enemy team has. so, for me, i either go a pen build or a different build (depending on the champ) depending on what the team im facing is. if im going to buy shadowflame, i'm always going to buy stormsurge and sorc boots too. i go so far as to only buy sorc shoes if im going to go full pen. if i dont plan on getting stormsurge and shadowflame (or if the enemy team is tanky), then the 12 mpen from sorc shoes is negligible and i will go with different shoes

Very Helpful video. Like the content. Glad the algorithm recommended youer channel.

This showed up on my for you page. Thought I would share that because it means the algorithm chose you as a small creator to show me. I do agree mostly with the critting part of the argument, but I do think there are reasons to build shadowflame on some burst mages. First of all, the gold efficiency in shadowflame is more ap and pen, while stormsurge may have unwanted movespeed. Also, buying both on burst mages can be good with some builds. Flat magic pen is more effective against champs with low mr, and the only three items with flat magic pen (outside of malignance passive) are sorcerers boots, shadowflame, and stormsurge. Furthermore, shadowflame and stormsurge have great synergy with dartk harvest, as if they opponent survives the initial burst, they can die to the critting stormsurge and darkharvest proc for execute. Overall, I think it was a good video, and I like to hear your thoughts in response to these points. To be fair, most of this come from repeating what I've heard, as I am just a bronze player lol.

Watch out, Sergeant Ckreborn is dangerous!

Full charge w doing 200 damage Humorous

Sett doing 0 damage wtf

Also just for future videos could you move your icon so that it doesn't cover the minimap?

I love this video! You explained the process so calmly, while sprinkling in your own thought process... You make league sound like a calmer game, which is very appreciated. Your team-centric thinking style is also very rewarding to listen to and learn from. Keep it up!
