Gotta say playing mages is my guilty pleasure of league. Xerath, Vel'koz, Viktor and Vex are some of my favorite champions to play outside my usual role being jungle, but now with Hwei coming out i may become a full on mid main because he just looks like SO MUCH FUN!!! And with new mage items as well I'm really looking forward to actually playing mid as a secondary role or maybe even main role! Season 14 looking GREAT!
He looks like so much fun but I kind of anticipate him being nerfed hard over patches. Like, one of the most apparent issues with his kit is that he does the job of long range poke mages, medium range control mages, and to a certain degree enchanters all in one kit. He’s also deceptively hard to engage on because while immobile, he can turn some tables by going into his nami-esque auto buff and kiting you among others.
@@ashes2ashley230 interesting. I personally like everfrost Hwei skin, but dont like logo screen.. stupid face on logo screen you know.. just because of this stupid face on logo screen I will not buy it(
Try Lawn Mower Gwen! Basically go all-in on-hit and attack speed. Her E gives her a HUGE Attack Speed steroid, and when you pile up other attack speed items she can attack at stupid speeds (3.5+ ATK SPD). You basically use your E for damage more than your Q (Max E first). Runes: Lethal Tempo, Presence of Mind, Alacrity, Cut the Grass, secondaries w/e Build: Attack Speed Boots, Nashor's Tooth => Guinsoo's => Blade of the Ruined King => Cosmic Drive => Lichbane You want some AP since your E scales off of it, I find that Cosmic Drive gives good Stats + sticking power. Same for Lichbane, helping you stick to the target, and giving you a repeatable big hit (since her E basically has no cooldown once you max it, as long as you hit something). The Bork is for survivability, since you don't have the Omnivamp from Riftmaker. Day 2 of Asking :D
Its the reason why he is unbalanced tho... with a design like hwei there wouldn't be triple q nonsense or the constant managing of ammo that stops anyone still learning macro from doing well macro-wise. The thing they both share that makes them proplay focused is their flexibility, so maybe hwei will suffer bad solo que winrates as well
The EW is just like a Veigar cage, u can use it to limit the space of the enemy or to get temporary vision without spending a ward. But in team fights EE is just better since it hits multiple targets
Try this build with cd runes, includong minor. Tear start, rocketbelt, liandriay's, goddess, then whatever high ap/damage item. You can spam spells like no tomorrow, you do burn damage, you get a small dash for engage with damage and disengage with EW and allows you to get a lot of surprising kills with your extra range QQ. JUST TRY IT!
I love watching zwags videos cuz he knows the game so well that the enemy don't just automatically win by picking stupid ass champs like sylas , ekko , akali...
I can’t believe they buffed hwei. He was not weak. He is just a little bit more complex than lol is usually used too. But not too much that u need a phd to play him. When he comes out, he will soar in the rankings. The high tier will learn him very fast and those that one trick him will dominate the lower middle ranks. He is just awesome
They could make Hwei's root have a shorter range but give multiple shots, maybe start 1 shot, but the higher level more shots, makes it so its more peel for assassins
We need an Emo Comp from FF Squad lol Aphelios and Morgana Bot, Hwei Mid, Sylas Top and a bunch of Jung options like Amumu for more CC or Kayn or Briar for more damage/ bruiser. Kaisa bot is also an option, Mundo Top for more tank could pass as emo lol would be fun to watch
I love the idea, but kinda wish they put a little more focus on making each individual ability interact with the others in order to make him more of a combo caster and less of a poke machine.
@marquisepixley684 All the abilities are simple and have no unique interactions. Comparing him to dota 2 invoker, it's not even close in difficulty how epic and diverse he can be
Day 11 of the movie extravaganza request. Movie 1: Teemo. Movie 2: Caitlyn. Movie 3: Ezreal. Movie 4: Jinx. Movie 5: Yone. (My request) For anyone wondering this request has been approved by zwag and he will get to it eventually may take a year or two to finish the whole list though haha.
QE in not just for farming and zoning, but also it's the highest damage ability, so if an enemy is stunned/slowed, you can use QE and deal way more damage than with QQ. Also you should always be using only QE when doing things like drake
Idk, would be better to play a normal game than a custom. But still good thing to watch. Maybe i didnt hear it earlier but i found out about it being a custom game just at the end
For a new champ, he seems decently balanced with the new items. Everything is a bit tuned up rn which helps and seems more fun to me. I'm defiantly gontry this when s14 hits live servers.
Gamers should try using hwei's ww shield more... it's so broken. I think it's the best shield in the game rn. Recharging, never ending, ever growing shield :D It's so clutch.
Try oneshot Diana with this exact same build or bruiser Diana: Conqueror, Rift maker, ROA, Nashors, The ap sunfire(forgot the name), and Jak'sho or Zhonyas
"He doesnt have peel vs assassins, if they are on you, you are dead" - Zwag saying this without a hint of irony while he repels near constant ganks and all ins from Sylas & leona
QQ: Damage bolt similar to Jace Q explodes on first enemy hit QW: VERY long range ability similar to Xerath W QE: Opens a rift like Vel'koz W WQ: Makes an area on the ground that grants movespeed WW: 3 attacks that return mana WE: shields you and allies EQ: Bolt that fears first enemy hit EW: Bolt that roots enemy EE: Pulls enemies towards center of ability
You need to assemble a group consisting entirely of characters who are dead inside. Amumu, Vex, Aphelios, Hwei...damn, I can’t think of a fifth one...does anyone have any suggestions?
I think this champ is good, he probably needs his basic combos to be flushed out a bit more by the player base before he can hold his own. I don’t think this is the type of champ Zwag would commit himself to though since Hwei feels more like a Lux player’s type.
How many times have we heard that Zwag has found his new main?
Just 5 times for me
my first "new zwag main" was Yone and I believed him lol
A lot, just like me
I change my main like every day
Then it's not a main@@crimsonslifesux4527
Only 166 times.
Maybe zwag is not pregnant but he never fails to deliver
Zwag after delivery: My minion!
@@nova_supreme8390 zwag when he cant get it up: My Cannon?!
If he is pregnant, Hwei is the father
i hate everfrost hwei it removed all his colors
Bars.
“Did Zwag Xerath get the first 6 CS?”
Yes, he got all 6!
Win Streak: 1
I’ve come back to the channel after a long hiatus, have you been consistent?
i hate everfrost hwei it removed all his colors
yeah it's not as cool imo but probably pay to win because it's harder to tell what ability it is@@ashes2ashley230
It's the first time I've seen your comment in a while, and it always makes my day a little better for some reason.
Keep it up bro.
@@grammarjew7747 yessir, a little late sometimes due to college but always here 🫡
Loved how the Sylas was complaining with well over double digit ganks before first tower went down
i would love to see a mana-max ryze video in the new season, with all the mana items you can build now
21:40 Shaco ulting in mid then controlling the clone while the real just standing in front of the turret is soooo funny hahaha

His Q,W range is fucking insane
it ain’t thanksgiving but i’m thankfully for zwag always having the best voice to fall asleep to
This champ seems so fun one of the few new champs I want to play asap

Day 2 of Asking :D
He already did on hit Gwen, 1 year ago
I was asking for this for 160 ish days and nobody gave it attention. Good luck. Now I am asking for full attack speed Rell with Galeforce
@@tanook6073he has repeated builds plenty. Plus there have been a lot of item changes since then
His ult is very similar to fizz, its basically his engage in fights and guarantees the rest of his dmg.
Also hard to land but Hwei can also setup his ult if he fears or roots them.
4:52 poor minion just wants to get to the tower
Hwei : has 10 spells, highest in the game by far
Zwag : "he need one more..."
E W gives a few seconds of vision, as its an eye. Which I find pretty cool
Honestly as an Aphelios user, i think his kit of Ammo base instead of being able to pick his guns is fine to keep him balance..
Its the reason why he is unbalanced tho... with a design like hwei there wouldn't be triple q nonsense or the constant managing of ammo that stops anyone still learning macro from doing well macro-wise. The thing they both share that makes them proplay focused is their flexibility, so maybe hwei will suffer bad solo que winrates as well
I’m so behind on work and pretty much gona work all day, ur videos make working so much easier, thank you 🙏
This champ reminds me of Magicka, wow. Its been years since that game came to mind.
i hate everfrost hwei it removed all his colors
@@ashes2ashley230stop saying that it is annoying
@@ashes2ashley230bro you don’t have to say that on literally everyone’s comments praising the champ in any way
@@thecoolestcorgi4991 i have to or i'll literally die
It was hilarious how Leona wanted to get zwag and every single time she failed XD
She was thirsty as fvck 1v2 game
Team rocket vibes
The EW is just like a Veigar cage, u can use it to limit the space of the enemy or to get temporary vision without spending a ward. But in team fights EE is just better since it hits multiple targets
I literally think of Zwag the first time I see the gameplay of this champion, it just fits so perfectly with his skills
Try this build with cd runes, includong minor.
Tear start, rocketbelt, liandriay's, goddess, then whatever high ap/damage item.
You can spam spells like no tomorrow, you do burn damage, you get a small dash for engage with damage and disengage with EW and allows you to get a lot of surprising kills with your extra range QQ. JUST TRY IT!
I love watching zwags videos cuz he knows the game so well that the enemy don't just automatically win by picking stupid ass champs like sylas , ekko , akali...
I love how polite chat was, in every video I see myself losing focus just to read chat
4:07 "beijo amor". Love to see a fellow brazilian in zwag's video
Make a video of Galio Mid with Kaenic rush. Could be fun to watch that massive shield, especially if you also build Maw if it still exists in s14
Zwag Xerath are you a Chrono Trigger fan? That music on beginning reminds me of it. Please respond.
I can’t believe they buffed hwei. He was not weak. He is just a little bit more complex than lol is usually used too. But not too much that u need a phd to play him. When he comes out, he will soar in the rankings. The high tier will learn him very fast and those that one trick him will dominate the lower middle ranks. He is just awesome
yo the rift icon at 4:42 looks mad funny
I wouldnt mind him being zwags new main, unfortunately xerath cant keep up with all the 200 year champs
love seeing magica gameplay in league takes me back
the ew definitely works better as area denial or to use its vision granting to check bushes or over walls at objectives etc
They could make Hwei's root have a shorter range but give multiple shots, maybe start 1 shot, but the higher level more shots, makes it so its more peel for assassins
chrono trigger music goated af
Kudos for frogs theme in the beginning background music
The fiddle saying “Womp womp” after lozing herald😭😭
14:35 describes lux lol
So we back to series when zwag is finding new mains
We need an Emo Comp from FF Squad lol
Aphelios and Morgana Bot, Hwei Mid, Sylas Top and a bunch of Jung options like Amumu for more CC or Kayn or Briar for more damage/ bruiser. Kaisa bot is also an option, Mundo Top for more tank could pass as emo lol would be fun to watch
i've played agains too many Hwei players to know that, Comet Nasus destroy this champion with E
I love the idea, but kinda wish they put a little more focus on making each individual ability interact with the others in order to make him more of a combo caster and less of a poke machine.
i hate everfrost hwei it removed all his colors
YES. This. The kit feels uninspired.
@@alexpapas99I disagree with you
@marquisepixley684 All the abilities are simple and have no unique interactions. Comparing him to dota 2 invoker, it's not even close in difficulty how epic and diverse he can be
it was a pitched idea, and he had energy instead of mana like all other Ionian champs, if you really want to make combos easier, switch up the hotkeys
Using E,W then Q,W to cut off the person's escape is one of Hwei's best poke options.
Glad we saw two champions in one match. Aphelios and Hwei. Pair Aphelios with Seraphine support, and it’s GO TIME!
Annie Q - point, click, dmg.
New 2000 year Q- “4 Harry Potter books later” hmm seems simple enough.
29:25 It's cool that you can do a triple fist bump
One of my favorite combos for him is WE,EQ,QQ,R. Really beefy single target damage.
Fuck is that q snipe range LMAO… riot please
I wanna see the new Horizon Focus on a Swain W-build!
it's fun seeing zwag try out kingstix's grandma
Leona wanted that airtime :))
Was thirsty as fvck nice 1v2 game
I generally think champs with more options are more dynamic and cooler. A fun and strong champ that isnt broken op. Good job Riot.
Zwag choosing a new main "This is the Hwei"
i hate everfrost hwei it removed all his colors
i dont play league anymore, but i still watch you and fogged... i wonder if there is a video somewhere with both of you?
@Zwag Xerath How does new shadowflame work on assassins, would it be a viable execute on more ability based assassins like Kayn or Talon?
I dont think it would work cause it only crits with magic and true damage.
If you play accordingly, you can never have mana issue with hwei in laning phase.
Day 11 of the movie extravaganza request.
Movie 1: Teemo.
Movie 2: Caitlyn.
Movie 3: Ezreal.
Movie 4: Jinx.
Movie 5: Yone. (My request)
For anyone wondering this request has been approved by zwag and he will get to it eventually may take a year or two to finish the whole list though haha.
I love as a xerath main that im not the only one who appreciate hwei
QE in not just for farming and zoning, but also it's the highest damage ability, so if an enemy is stunned/slowed, you can use QE and deal way more damage than with QQ.
Also you should always be using only QE when doing things like drake
Idk, would be better to play a normal game than a custom. But still good thing to watch. Maybe i didnt hear it earlier but i found out about it being a custom game just at the end
The 0/11 quarter health shaco saying « this is a balanced champion » while Zwag is 13/3
For a new champ, he seems decently balanced with the new items. Everything is a bit tuned up rn which helps and seems more fun to me. I'm defiantly gontry this when s14 hits live servers.
I indeed gave myself a pat on the back cause ive been subscribed!
Gamers should try using hwei's ww shield more... it's so broken. I think it's the best shield in the game rn. Recharging, never ending, ever growing shield :D It's so clutch.
Does the ult go through creeps?
Love hwei! Let's see season 14 iloai with the new items
That Leona was a walking ward for your team. Never seen someone play so far up front and be so crazy obvious if their team is or isn't there.
Try oneshot Diana with this exact same build or bruiser Diana: Conqueror, Rift maker, ROA, Nashors, The ap sunfire(forgot the name), and Jak'sho or Zhonyas
Zwag should make more videos of hwei gameplay. Does he play him on stresm a lot?
This champion is like a better xerath, perfect for zwag
i saw a tiktok, i think its like 1044 possible unique combos on Hwei
30:12 so close with the fear missile. Like 5-6 frames too early.
"He doesnt have peel vs assassins, if they are on you, you are dead" - Zwag saying this without a hint of irony while he repels near constant ganks and all ins from Sylas & leona
Don't know if you can still get the low ult cool down, if you can you should try lux or kayle. I think both of those would be broken.
At a time you became that Leona's reason of life
Would love to see big bonk thresh with the Sundered Sky item
This new champ feels a bit like leagues take on Invoker from DotA. At least this dude doesn’t turn invisible while sniping mapwide
Thanks for the great vid Zwag!
Now the Invoker has joined the League😂
I'm curious if Shadowflame TD crit works with Kog'Maw's passive....
I love using Hwei but what about zwag's YT handle, is it gonna be Zwag Hwei?
Can you go over his abilities please?
It seems Q is damage, W is utility, and E is CC
It'd be nice to know the breakdown of each category
QQ: Damage bolt similar to Jace Q explodes on first enemy hit
QW: VERY long range ability similar to Xerath W
QE: Opens a rift like Vel'koz W
WQ: Makes an area on the ground that grants movespeed
WW: 3 attacks that return mana
WE: shields you and allies
EQ: Bolt that fears first enemy hit
EW: Bolt that roots enemy
EE: Pulls enemies towards center of ability
I'm going to try it out when it comes out tomorrow, I am so pumped ToT
I feel he's going to be an excellent, versatile mage support.
You need to assemble a group consisting entirely of characters who are dead inside. Amumu, Vex, Aphelios, Hwei...damn, I can’t think of a fifth one...does anyone have any suggestions?
How is your cursor so big?! Mine is tiny and I always lose it
It’s about the closest thing to dota 2 Evoker. I hope they add a d&d skin like twitch or talon skins.
that chrono trigger music 🖤
Zwag, why dont u use ur ult as engage and not as a finisher🤔
Day 60 of asking for full ap Tryndamere
How does that work?
Watch fogged he did a vid as wizzdamere season 14

u should try the healing nova for half of your ap on veigar
did fiddle said womp womp?
Yes :)
Bro im always waiting to see zwag play akali specially in this new season 👆👆👆🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Zwag Huawei? 🤔
Nice to see league finally got thier own invoker
I think this champ is good, he probably needs his basic combos to be flushed out a bit more by the player base before he can hold his own. I don’t think this is the type of champ Zwag would commit himself to though since Hwei feels more like a Lux player’s type.
I think the root work on Basics likes if enemy Stand inside of circle for some time (1s. Idk...) then the spell will "shoot" root
I wonder what will be with this champ on URF thoo like now it's op with ability h
every time when he use W+E and not auto attack any minions gives me anxiety
Though good lord do you not combo anything on your first time playing him
