taking a bit of a risk with this sort of title format. i had to avoid mentioning taliyah because people absolutely despise clicking on certain champs (thats why i left her out of the thumbnail). can't clickbait the 1000+ ap because that's obvious and i needed to describe what's going on relatively accurately while also getting your attention. half the battle for these vods is literally just thumbnail/title. says a lot about the world but w/e i chug along. thanks to the ones that click regardless - you sustain most of the views but it's important to try and grab outside people because that's what turns some videos nuclear. i basically only require 3~5 videos going nuclear a month to chill but ive been hitting up uploads nearly daily lmao. sponsor coming soon btw.
we will do our best to support you and share your vids even if it aint the most entertaining combo, youre a human computer for coming up with synergistic augment selection/item knowledge and we learn from ya
I feel like the thumbnail that you have is effective, the font coloring almost like syntax highlighting I feel like scratches that part of your brain to make you click. At this point though i am also a simple youtube viewer. I see Erik uploaded, i click, i comment, i like, i wait for next video. :D
You gotta do whachu gotta do. Honestly man, I respect the hustle and understand why you have to cater to the masses the way you do. But what really makes me like you as a creator is the brutal honesty you apply to changes like this. I've seen a few other channels I respect start... rebranding...? ...whatever you want to call it. But it kind of irks me when their thumbnails and titles turn into algorithm slop and they say nothing of it. So mad respect for being upfront with the changes and reasoning behind it. Sad to see you have to enter the amorphous sea of slop, but I'll always remember that there's quality and honesty behind your name.
I love how you minmax titles, thumbnails, editing, runtime, and everything else. And i absolutely enjoy seeing you share and break down these things in your comments. Even tho i don't post videos, so i won't really use your techniques, but its really interesting to me to read the level of detail that goes into finetuning all these factors to abuse both human nature and algorithms.
Hey Erick I dont know if you knew but for some reason (on live servers) Ziggs Q, E and R count as 2 abilities each for Master of Duality and Rabble Rousing. Maybe other ability triggering things like Innervating Locket stacking as well, didn't get to try that sadly. Maybe you can cook up something with that information
what is super super ironic about this is that ziggs has the same issue as taliyah. i REALLY love playing ziggs - especially with force of entropy on his W plus a ton of cooldown to spam bumps. i even made a video with ziggs/taliyah because their W/E buttons are EXTREMELY similar and EXTREMELY synergistic. know what happened? low views because i think the average league player already has this idea of what ziggs/taliyah looks like (really boring, one-dimensional playstyles). i havent attempted a ziggs video because of this even though i think hes super high skill-cap and has a ton of fun "tower defense" gameplay that could be entertaining to watch. ill finesse it, dw and thanks for the heads-up.
@@KingNidhogg I feel like for a Ziggs video, you could name it something like "HILARIOUS COMBO - You'll never guess on which champ!", and put in the thumbnail a "Who's that Pokemon!?" silhouette of some explosive Pokemon like Voltorb, or something.
It seems like it'd be pretty funny to get it on Vi. Besides having her Q and R to immobalize, she might apply her W stacks and she gets two attack resets through her E. She could probably trigger like 10 on-hits before the other person can react. It's probably not as good as it sounds, though.
Hey Nidhogg, i've been fiending for some great combos with Reverberation, can I "suggest" you try zilean with the new prism item? I feel like that character doesnt get the love it deserves in terms of CC combos. As always love ur vids and take care!
So in theory you have mystic punch and navori. You get 7.5 seconds off your cooldowns from mystic punch plus 6 procs of navori which works out to 63% CDR. Cooldowns don’t exist.
Reverberate would be SO cool to see with Pantheon Mortal Will W!!! He already gets three autos on top of the CC, so one ability would proc on-hits 6 times with only reverb (not counting ethereal weapon or guinsoos or anything!)
Question does hexbolt companion stack infinitely if both teammates have it?Example, one person auto's the enemy then hexbolt would proc but since the teammate has it, it would proc their's causing a infinite rotation. I don't know if you went over this on another video.
a combo i like doing with master of duality is ravenous hydra and nashors, gives you scaling ad and ap on hit damage based off of ad and ap on both items
nashor on arena scales with ad too right? isn't it a better option than Lich for master of Duality, or does Lich stills does more damage even with Nashor scaling of ad? I really don't know, like, since Nashor don't have cd like Lich does sounds really cool for master but Lich still has a higher scaling 😵💫
i did both but yes you can take nashors first if you really want. something that people might not recognize that goes on behind the scenes is that i intentionally handicap a ton for runtime and engagement. basically a strategy that aims to 1. play to the algorithm (runtime/retention from people rewinding to look at stuff again) and 2. take advantage of insecure rule-breakers on my channel that wish to backseat both my gameplay and comments like this. it's an unfortunate compromise but it has been extremely effective. suppose i was surgical about every detail in my arena videos - they wouldn't have as much flavor compared to my current format where i basically "breadcrumb" shit for the viewers to snatch up. your comment, for example, isa completely innocuous and a great question when asked respectfully - thank you for that btw, that also helps stir up engagement.
You probably alreqdy know it but ethernalweapons aurora is quite funny bc your spells give two pasiv stacks per spell so q q already gives 4 stacks. And the basic q e q 6 times
it seems like pantheon and some other assassins have lots of different op ways to play, jeweled for omage crit + lethal, cd for perma cc or onhit spam stuffs
love your vods, keep going. I'm not looking on the Thumbnail/title cuz I'm gonna watch it anyway. Really have a lot of fun with it and learning lots of stuff with it. Get all the Clickbait or Sponsors in there ma mans haha Also greetings from Germany 👍🏻
Had a run on Rell where I got W 200 haste, reverberation and mirage blade, literally just reset my W every time I used it for perma CC and dmg with BorK
haha yes we're thinking in terms of reverb now. trust me - i sat in the shower going through every immobilize in my head. that is why i have a couple reverb videos lined up now.
Wait a minute this seems like it has insane potential on Vayne. If you get reverb + ethereal e would insta proc passive. I'm not sure if this works but I think if you stun them it might count as 2 immobilizes.
Now i want to know what would happen if you got fan the hammer instead of die another day in this game. Does that even work i wonder 🤔 Thanks for the most fun arena videos as always!
why u have all these crazy items in ur arenas? I have same items over and over for the last month and nothing new u play pbe or modded or different region?

smart to not mention taliyah because i 100% would not have clicked
On my way to try and emulate this only to get back to back 8th places
Taliyah is hard. Try alistar instead
@@naldothadeus6310good tali players in arena are so scary 😭💀
the kraken doing 760 was clearly the GOAT in the final round
lowkey hydra wouldve looked insane
I wonder how rageblade would have gone

@@KingNidhoggnoooooo i love ziggs and id love a video where youre using him!

Wait, this would proc 3 times on renata's q if you hit another champ
great question, dunno

For anyone wondering kraken deal 760 dmg last fight 17:00

it's weird, navori doesnt seem to work.

@@RockQuince nashors better as solo in this case because of the multiple on-hit procs. ethereal alone sends lich bane ahead.
2:26 Bro, Hexbolt Companion is literally just recolored Jaurim's Fist. 💀
I wonder if Flickerblades would work on that?
You probably alreqdy know it but ethernalweapons aurora is quite funny bc your spells give two pasiv stacks per spell so q q already gives 4 stacks. And the basic q e q 6 times
I would love to try this on Thresh. Fantastic video, thank you Mr Nidhogg
would reverb triple proc heartsteel?
The best league content creator out there without doubt
Question is: slowed + reverb or sped up + reverb?
Would something here proc Heartsteel 3-4 times, giving you like 120HP each time?
That last place Caitlyn's name was BeardedBuss LMAO
Had fun playing with you good sir :^) Hope to see you and actually perform well next time!
i have a question does Trueshot Barrage count as an ulti too if yes does it also polymorph ?
Yes
Hello mister hog, i just wanna say i enjoy your uploads, your shenanigans make me laugh.
the taliyah mechanics in this vid were impressive af im ngl
Reverberation is such an overpowered item, i wouldn't be surprised if it was bug fixed if bugged or nerfed by the time it gets to live
I think marks mage would work with the item, since duality stacks on it no?
glad i refreshed, now we get to enjoy ridiculous combo while eating
it seems like pantheon and some other assassins have lots of different op ways to play, jeweled for omage crit + lethal, cd for perma cc or onhit spam stuffs
So, we can revive impregnator gragas????
Perma e.
PLEASE
I leave a like on all your videos, good content worth the watch.
love your vods, keep going. I'm not looking on the Thumbnail/title cuz I'm gonna watch it anyway.
Really have a lot of fun with it and learning lots of stuff with it.
Get all the Clickbait or Sponsors in there ma mans haha
Also greetings from Germany 👍🏻
danke, hope to entertain
Had a run on Rell where I got W 200 haste, reverberation and mirage blade, literally just reset my W every time I used it for perma CC and dmg with BorK
you should try reverb with riven mystic punch couldn't you just infinite W
haha yes we're thinking in terms of reverb now. trust me - i sat in the shower going through every immobilize in my head. that is why i have a couple reverb videos lined up now.
That was some high quality gameplay 👌
Hellfire hatchet probably would have been insane with master of duality and reverb
How was Ornn able to recast ulti so late in that last fight??
They should add a prism aug that reverts you to pre-rework version champ
In normal arena i reached 3,5k ap on Kayle with just master of duality.. I wonder how high that could be pushed now
Damn good positioning in that Irelia Varus fight O.O
Imagine statick shiv with reverberation and chain lightning.
Bro just Zeus gameplay right here.
Did the same thing with slap around blitz for 120 ap per e
Wait a minute this seems like it has insane potential on Vayne. If you get reverb + ethereal e would insta proc passive. I'm not sure if this works but I think if you stun them it might count as 2 immobilizes.
So if ornn brittle apply 3 times?
is this pbe or the new items are live?
Ngl sometimes i just clicking on ur videos just to comment for engagement purposes
o7 homie
What other champs could run this build? Just any cc champ or only taliyah due to some specific interraction zwith her?
Anyone with CC and AP scaling. Some easier than others.
Lots of tanks and control mages
Anyone knoes if ethereal weapon apply lifesteal?
Highlight of the video is the “Bluetooth” Ornn ulti 😂😂😂
Wait, the Ornn ult wasn't poly'ing until the zed mark popped. Look at 14:25
It wouldn't be worth it but it would be funny to also have wooglets on this build. Blud just casually hitting 2k AP every round.
Now i want to know what would happen if you got fan the hammer instead of die another day in this game. Does that even work i wonder 🤔
Thanks for the most fun arena videos as always!
Master of duality reverberation naut has a bunch of cc and the cc abilities have good ap ratios so the triple stacking ap would be op
would rageblade make it so it progs an extra onhit🤔
Can you imagine Urgot with Reverberation ?
peep the crochet squid
since you posted the fan the hammer build on blitz i been running that and spamming hellfire hatchet and i've gotten so much hate in chat XD
12:36 he took damage??
So now I can be absolutely restarted, picked Rammus and play tank assassin
Ornn with the max range ulti double poly into stun putting in WORK
r u playing PoE?
why u have all these crazy items in ur arenas? I have same items over and over for the last month and nothing new u play pbe or modded or different region?
pbe bro
navori with 6x on-hit? its like 12% remaning cd per onhit and if my math is correct it would give you insta -56% cd. not too crazy but fun
Wow this round 8:24 was !
try rell with reverbation hullbreaker titanic and ofcourse duality. 3 aoe stuns :D
Love You Nidhogg!❤
I cant imagine what gragas can do with this item 😮
impregnator gragas with mystic
Let’s gooo early for a upload
Waiting for some Kat with the same build 😂😂😂😂
@king Nidhogg I think I’m honestly gonna retire summoners rift and just keep spamming arena.. I went from basically unranked wood to 4k this weekend 😂
Having way more fun cooking in this kitchen..
Yippie lunck break video
Nice one
hatchet wouldve gone crazy over lich bane i think mighta been cool or over kraken slayer ig lmao
*mogs u sadly*
43 SECONDS NO VIEWS???? xxdd BLOOD FELL OFF!
this is most definitely the corniest meme to come out of 2010s kids
you should of went hullbreaker dude.... its broken with etheral
Ranged champion also it’s 5 stacks - worse than kraken
Is this pbe?
yeah
rageblade.
I would've love to see the difference in dmg/stacking with guinsoo
Navori!
doesnt work when tested
11:46 nidalee full hp btw xD get shit on lol
The things you do seems OP but if someone below your skill level(99.9% of players) tries, it's guaranteed 8th place 😂
first
who cares
