what's with the feet intro bruh ?
its 100% brain dead champ with no skill expression and being just broken as fuck cuz giving a fk armor pen dash with stune is a fk JOKE
just fk remove this champ and make something that isnt just ONESHOTING OR GETTING ONESHOTED shit
last champions that were design like normal fk champion was:
zeri-she was broken but she wasnt super tanky oneshoter and other staff THIS CHAMP WAS FIXABLE
vex-counter pick but still good design
gwen-they should change a lot about her Q to make her good design and remove her W cuz thats just stupid and is useless or broken ability for her
rell-really good design but she was tank so nobody player her then got OP rework and if they nerf her more she could be in good design
and finally really a fk good design is fk SETT cuz if you have at least few brain cells and you are better then enemy you can outplay him or as sett you can do a lot of staff while having NORMAL abilities that dont make enemy do random shit like renata ult or fk passive from viego or other staff(yea ik his W deals insane amount of dmg but that is because a lot of champions are fk sooooooo broken and getting buffed for no reason that something like sett IS BROKEN but you cant see it because other shit just is on anouther lvl)
btw viego have an okay design with his basic abilities and ult but being able to change to any champion is just stupid extremely stupid
Such smooth transition to the sponsor gotta give u that
Actually you reach video 666 bruh I hate this 666
@@Epicibrahim and of course the 666 gotta be terrifying
Hearing Vars lose his mind at the damage of Briar’s E is like hearing a teacher swear in class
I'm glade Power final made her debut too
Hearing him quietly screaming is hilarious.
the dmg is crazy but i dont see it being able to be done very often
@@douglaswalker7707can u abuse it for jungle clear?
@@victorvondoom4869on an 18 second cooldown, not particularly. Especially because it's meant to be the last skill you upgrade
Id argue that Kled also falls under the berserker archetype. Theres no canceling your ultimate, you are going to the end and if you lock on to a champion, you are going to hit that champion no matter the danger. Then, once you take enough damage to fall off of Skarl you are basically forced to keep fighting to get Skarls courage back or die trying, as you are too slow to run away from enemies with any reliability. Sure youve technically got the self knockback from your pistol, but even then you are encouraged to get right into an enemies face with it to hit as many pellets as possible.
Ya this gives off hard Berserker vibes, I hear she's a Vampire, this is not a Vampire, lol.
He definitely nails the berserker personality lol
@@dylanevans0402 true. She fits more of a homunculus archetype.
And he’s balanced and not brainread
@@dylanevans0402How’s she not a Vampire? There are many Vamoire archetypes, including crazy blood sucking maniac monsters
Briar is what you get when you max out all your favorite stats and ignore everything else in character creation
I don't need health if everything's dead
All speed and atk no evasion or health we go *IN* or die trying
Technically with the(lack of) pillory it’s more like a piece of equipment min maxing your stats. Pillory on? Cha wis int increased by 8. Pillory of? All stats reduce to 0, strength increases by 3x
@@deadpool569You can't kill anything with her
@@rommdan2716 well then I'll die trying
Imagine a briar with a yuumi, a champ that plays itself with a champ that doesnt do abything
LOI League of Idle
I LOVE the design and abilities, a self berserking champion with lifesteal is what I’ve been saying Olaf should have been ever since I found him years ago, I just hate how she can’t be played in lane because of just how low her sustain outside of lifesteal is. If any champ will push me to learn jg it’s her.
Jgl is super fun m8, if you want a really fun champ, for up to plat elo, that's relatively easy to learn, try Vi.
People are sleeping on her cuz she isn't really that good in diamond+.
@@AdamTheVox I just don’t wanna bother with learning all the different pathings and gank/drag timings etc. I’m a Trynd main, I just wanna hit things and splitpush
A lot of the time it's just getting the first path down and then taking whatever comes up (and is safe) afterwards. The experience is indispensable though even if you go back to lane you'll be predicting the enemy jungler's movements and map placement and know how to ward against their ganks even better
then play master Yi. he and trynda both buy squishy adc items, farm up and then outduel anyone later on. just farm until level 6 and then kill people it's just like tryndamere but you don't have have to lane against anyone. post 14 minutes you can splitpush too as long as no dragons or barons are up.
That sponsor transition 💀10/10
And still the sponsor block detected
Her Ult also alerts everyone in range so if you suspect that it's going towards you, you can easily move
I have a feeling Briar + Ashe gon be wildin
I made the mistake of trying to challenge the top lane briar with duskblade by letting her hit an ulty under tower and trying to use Varus E to apply grievous and hit an ulty, but her q stunning immediately after letting her get her full combo in less than a 2 seconds makes her have zero counter play for ADC's you need someone with hard cc to deal with her. Shes a global master yi with a stun.
"I believe this is the only self hard crowd control in the game"
Sion, after literally stunning himself after hitting a wall: Am I a joke?
(yes)
Malzahar rooting himself with every ult, arguably lissandra with her zhonyas (but that's cheating)
Self activated. Sion's stun isn't a self activation it's people without a driver's license.
and what about all channeled spells, e.g. Malzzahar Ult etc? Those also kinda "stun" the player character@@VarsVerum
@@KellerKind287 You can still stop channels at any time. If you briar w/ult you cannot untaunt yourself unless you have e off cd.
I like how this champion (mostly) doesn’t feel overly designed. Akshan is the best example of this in recent years, but a lot of new champions feel designed to play perfectly in LoL in 202X without anything special going on, making them all feel weirdly samey. They’re jam packed with QOL passives and stuff that makes the champion “just work” whereas with briar they actually seemed to make a reasonably janky character with drawbacks.
Lmao Akshan. The dude has invisibility, a get away/ all in while hittinh mechanic. Double auto that hit extra hard. Can revive a team mate instantly and ia tanky despite being adc
@@Yokai_Yuri literally batman
@@chas5344Akshan and Rakan on your team is like Batman and Robin. This is canon now.
@@Yokai_Yuriakshan is a Marksman, not an adc. Not every ranged ad champ must be an adc
@@lok4890 no, you're simply wrong. Adc is short for "Attack Damage Carry." There's no difference between adc and Marksmen, they litterally made it up so people unfamiliar to mobas might understand the goals of the adc. There's a reason mid used to be called the Apc.
For self inflicted cc, champ who create terrain can technically knockback themselves, bard can stasis himself.
And stasis is technically a hard cc
By that logic, every champ can hard CC themselfes with Zhonias/Stopwatch.
I like how he screams discretely, like he's afraid he will wake up a sleeping baby in the room near him 😂
More like a child that doesn't want to wake up his parents but yea lmfao
You have such a calm voice when you are doing videos so it was sooo funny to hear your pitched voice. Love your videos.
Absolutely stellar sponsor transition, A++ for sure 😂😂😂
My favorite thing about Briar is that she has very clear and obvious weaknesses baked into her design.
The only trick is that Riot needs to make those weaknesses matter...
Odd take that E doesn't count as a disengage because enemies can get out of it, if it forces them out of your immediate area isn't that usually fairly effective for disengaging?
That's kind of the impression I get is she'll either be turbo broken or giga useless, no in between. I worry that one small change will completely break this champ
She's the ultimate feast or famine champ, if Yasuo and Katarina are either 0/10 or 10/10, Briar is 0/30 or 30/0
I have a feeling that she'll be completely busted initially, but then in a matter of few weeks people will learn how to play around her, and she'll be forgotten. Her main damage source is technically out of your control, which prevents the likes of Yorick, Illaoi, Urgot, Azir, etc. from being popular.
I hope this doesn't age well, because I'm such a huge fan of her abilities. She seems so much fun.
seems like she will have a similar status as tryndamere: mostly unplayed by the general fanbase, but with a few dedicated mains who can carry games
I don't know your server and elo, but Yorick and Illaoi are unfortunately too popular in my soloQ games and are possibly, along with Teemo, the top laners that make lose my mind the most when picked either by my team or by my opponent. I'm not counting crit champions that start with the letter Y, though.
Dude just talking about the visual design.. her r is the most BAD ASS r EVER
illaoi, yorick, and urgot curb stomp everyone in lower elos, I cant go 10 games without facing one of them, and azir has been a mainstay in professional play forever.
Azir doesn't have anything on his kit that's out of his control, soldier placement and repositioning is his bread and butter, it's not like Illaoi tentacles that spawn randomly or Yorick ghouls with sometimes wonky AI
So funny hearing how proud Vars was with the segue from Briar's hunger to his sponsor
really good transition for sure
I feel like Riot August is allowed to do whatever he wants because "He created Jhin surely whatever he does can't be bad right" And then we get Viego, Zeri and now Briar.
all incredibly fun champs.. im not sure why people like you complain? do you want more trydameres and luxes in the game? so boring
@@Christian-tq4oz I'd rather have more Bards, Kindreds or Jhins instead of edgy button-mash 1v9 pieces of garbage that are oppressive to play against because by design they must be better than every champion older than them. In a lobby with a Viego player only the Viego is having fun when he's ahead, everyone else has to suck it up.
i mean jhin and kindred are ADC obviously they have clear weakness and bard is a support
viego is a bruiser obviously he need to be strong@@tehrik0020
I think briar is actually quite fun charging into the enemy team and trying to heal as much as you can so you dont die. It kind of feels like rhaast
i think one of the best moments of my day was hearing Vars lose his mind over briar’s e damage percentage
I’m hyped, might actually get back into league to pick up briar. A true blue ride or die champion from the jungle seems like a ton of fun.
she seems fun for about 50% of games, but if this champ falls behind noone on your team is having fun playing with you
"who is crazy enough to inflict status effects on them self for any reason" *equips 3 berserker rings in rpgs*
Self induced CC is somewhat uncommon in League, but there are a lot of technical CCs and oddities
The main self CCs I can think of are:
Rumble silences himself at max heat
There’s Blitz W slow
Vi has a self slow on her Q
Kayle used to CC herself when casting ult, she was effectively disarmed and silenced.
You could count old (and to a lesser extent new) Neeko. With the self induced stun.
OrVi ult counting as a self knock up that an enemy Yasuo can ult off of
But some technical self CCs I can think of are:
Malzahar and Warwick suppression CCs themselves as well if you want to count them.
Kalista can technically CC herself and one of her teammates by black spearing them in a level 1 fight.
a lot of abilities self root when casting as well. Like most hooks, Gwen Q (her E is hardcoded to break this though), fiora parry, etc.
Master Yi also roots himself when he heals (W?). That fulfills Vars' definition of a "self activated CC", Xerath's ult also roots him in place now that I think about it.
My only gripe is that for a global ult, they gave the enemy a notification that she ulted while she channels it. Its already a difficult Ult to hit, and no other global Ult like Ashe’s Arrow, Jinx Rocket, or even Vex’s Ult which Brair’s is inspired by gives a notification on when they fire it.
For a skill shot that is meant to “instill fear”, giving an indication of it coming doesn’t actually fit that description
It's not that hard to hit it, you won't hit it each time but lanes are straight lines so in tf you won't really miss
Lee Sin sonic wave forces you into using resonation strike to follow up regardless of situation. It’s a mental CC placed on the player.
From my experience with her, the reason why her "no health regen" on her passive matters, is because this forces her to either be super aggressive to have reliable sustain, where sometimes this isn't possible if you play her "smart" to avoid ganks or range characters, making it so you have less access to minions, or having to periodically waste your E as a form of sustain... which if you get the timing wrong, can screw you royally should a forced encounter occur.
Her kit makes her great when she has any form of backup, but greatly reduces her options when she is alone or outnumbered. Great for a jungler and, under the right conditions, a good top lane partner, but not top lane solo.
SMOOTH sponsor transition there Vars. Evelynn would be proud. WP mate
she is the ultimate "i can fix her" champion, you will be begging your team not to dodge when you lock this out of control animal.
Feet intro? 😳
Vars been into the pits of darkin folk for that photo
Feet
I'm imagining Briar's passive in an ability draft mode. Wonder if it'd apply on ability dots.
Briar liandry to stack bleeed
3:40 Xerath self roots when casting his ult. this was a thing even before his gameplay update when his current ult was his old w
"Infinitely better version of tryndamere"
Tryndamere: SAY HELLO TO MY +50 RANGE
ngl i’ve gotten real cold with chilling scream timing. its perfect in the middle of a fight mid late game when they don’t see it coming and ive used it to knock people back when needing to escape and then W thru a wall and go around to catch them from behind
I do like Briar because she feels like one of the few new champs that you can actually play around against.
You choose Briar, the enemy chooses rammus... You cry.
Your e does big magic damage and disengages you, its playable still into rammus. Graves is more of a problem for her imo she is squishy and his w makes you worthless for the duration
@@lostintheflurry During the frenzy she automatically focuses on the enemy, even if they are invisible or out of sight, as long as they are within range.
@@vicentesantiago2681 yes but you can change target with your Q stun or cancel W with E which does big magic damage to Rammus and shoves him off of you so you can get out, if he hits wall he's additionally stunned. its not that bad to vs. him. also he can't really invade you in your jungle cuz there are walls everywhere for him to smash into with your aforementioned E. graves on the other hand basically wrecks her especially early, she has a very low health pool and he burst/crits her while she's blinded and can't leach back.
@@lostintheflurry Guys, everything she can use against Rammus she can use against Graves, however, Rammus's defenses are much better and the blinding doesn't affect her. The only blinding that makes any difference to her is Teemo's.
This guy is the ONLY RUclipsr I have to put closed captions or turn up volume to max in order to understand
"briar E too much damage but can dodge so no broken"
vars straight up forgot that she has one stun target
I really like Briar. In fact Nafiri and Briar are both very tame, but fun character designs, that don't go stupid OP, or have some weird insane gimmick that makes them a balance nightmare.
I like the design of briar cuz its something new without having a whole thesis to read on each ability + no actual stupid shit like revives or stealth but just a fuckton of damage
Health casters do persistent damage.
*slaps 900 AP Vlad three shotting our back line and healing to full in 1 second with 3.5k HP* : This bad boi can dish so much damage the trauma will carry to your next game.
my first impression was that she'd be a manaless stat stick that has uninteractivity literally built into her design. the opposite of a 200 years champ where u have a million outplay tools, shes like an ultra minion where if you dont outplay her, its your own fault.
I like how Vars used the new Olaf R icon
The more vids I watch the more I learn Briar was made for me and me alone. I am forever grateful🦶🏻
Ok that sponsor placement was very solid got a good chuckle outta me
1:00 One of the best ADD inserts I have ever witnessed, so fucking clean xdd.
i like to think vars has a sleeping cat next to him in every video and thats why he can't make a lot of noise lmao
Aaaand looking at her PBE reception, to me it looks like she's the most beloved new champ release in ages. August might have pulled a Jhin with this one.
Also, thanks for the balanced take on her actual logistics, instead of just clickbaiting with the big number.
"The ONLY self inflicted hard crowd control in the game"
Bard mains: hold my meeps
*proceeds to ult himself AND his team as they try to defend the Nexus*
i like how she completely broke the internet with her feet alone, we got people screaming "SHES A CHILD!!!" practically exposing themselves since when zoe released, no one said anything despite her also rocking the barefoot aesthetic lmao. People are just so paranoid, its called a TEENAGER guys. you know the stage between child and adult
I wish your videos were louder, they're so much quieter than all other videos I listen to
My girl is still balanced to this day. She can easily be destroyed early by teamwork And she becomes irrelevant lategame as well, so her only advantage is being strong duelist early, mid
“This is technically the only self inflicted hard crowd control in the game”
Malz mains using ult: “Are we a joke to you?” 😂
Ive never sniffed my computer screen so hard until a few moments ago when the video started thx i needed that!
We Just got Nafirri with physical damage and healing, why can't we get a break from these champs, like release a palate cleanser before releasing back to back assassins.
Shes not an assassin, shes more like a bruiser. I myself and other Briars typically have like 300 Armor/MR lategame. And the build i run focuses even more on it having 400 of each.
@@xdrago1051nobody cares what build you run
@@idiramara1 look at the reply above you
@@CcReap3r botrk by itself already makes her pretty deadly. Briar's w and R steroid are absolutely massive, you can stat check anyone with those. You reach the attack speed cap with 2 items, feel like a tank after just 1 tank item bc of her armor/mr buffs while also having high AD since you build mostly AD items.
Hullbreaker, Deaths Dance, Maw and Wits end are items I go very often as they give both AD and tank stats. That Alongside trinity force as your mythic which you can proc off cool down and instantly stack for 18% more AD and you got the most stat check-y champ in the game.
Your last item is flexible. Could be anything. Spirits vistage, black cleaver, bloodthrister, another armor item, just whatever counters the enemy team.
I personally would like to see a video on economy affecting champions. Like champions that can generate extra exp or gold for the team or themselves.
So Tf, Gp, Nilah, ZIlean and Pyke.
I may have an idea for a team comp
0:24 what's so questionable about that line? Is not uncommon to see women like that irl. And why is the next sentence NOT the questionable one?
you mentioned that briar w is the only example of self-inflicted hard crowd cc in the game, but for whatever reason vex's ultimate causes her to pull herself rather than dashing meaning that she is the second example.
yo adc why arent you side stepping basic easy and obvious cc?
adc : im a autofilled briar main
*realises*
aint it funny how nbdy talks about her e being literally like a sion Q that pushes u away until now xD
Me, playing Vayne, with my 90 mana, single target, shorter range, 20 second cooldown condemn: "Am I a joke to you?"
It's actually incredibly easy to hit her E if you start charging it right after hitting Q. However, if you're in a position where you've allowed Briar to use her E without being punished for it, you might have already made a mistake. She needs that ability to escape any bad situation, if she doesn't have it you might be able to just run her down.
She can use Q + E repeatedly to wittle down her lane opponent if she's playing top, though, but a good player probably knows how to counter that.
She's quite literally going to be a feast or famine champion. Balance wise, she's either going to be turbo broken or just turbo garbage. Gameplay wise, yeah she's either going to be 1 v 9'ing the enemy team or dying in the first 10 seconds of the fight and losing the game.
Every Rammus main laughed in glee when she was revealed
"Youre never gonna hit her W with full charge because you have to wait a full 1 second"..... Sion mains just never hit fully charged Q's i guess 😅
That sponsor transition deserves more attention 🤣, way too smooth
Numbers are a problem, but every champ had that on release. Aphelios, sett, samira being the clear obvious examples. She'll be broken and then nerfed and adjusted.
A champ that heals, has a bleed passive, has a knock up and a stun in 1 ability, an ability that does more damage than any other ability in the game, has infinite passives and stacks infinite stats, does mixed damage, stacks attack speed, has an aoe fear, has a global ultimate, AND doesn't use mana? Sound like a solid design to me 😎👍
The feet joke was funny for like, a day.
Getting ulted by her is the worst feeling in the game. Absolute nightmare on adc and that thing has the hitbox of ashe arrow. Just another thing on the endless list that will delete an adc off the map with no effort.
I’m kind of confused how Warwick didn’t end up as an example of a berserker being the first champ that came to mind. He can only latch with his q making it near useless as an escape tool. His ult is designed to suppress backline targets. he gets stronger while near death not to mention passive lifesteal. Most even play him in this super rundown play style and the example used for running someone down without pressing a key is warwick.
I can tell the main pain point is the R.
Edit: apparently the main pain point was those e ratios, which fair.
Kled and Gnar are also berserkers. I would argue the Berserker has an uncontrollable aspect. Gnars Rage, Kled and Skaarl, and Briar's self taunt.
I like how accessible you make these videos to people who don't play much league like me
You ever see that clip of Zwag playing her and missing ult but hitting the enemy Yone top lane by accident and still killing him?
I don't see how such a hard feast-or-famine champion will work. She will either be unstoppable or useless, making balancing her a nightmare.
The only self-inflicting hard CC?! Malzahar's, Miss Fortune's, Senna's and Caitlyn's ultimates would like a word with you. And those are the ones on top of my head
That's such a perfect sponsor spot btw. What a fit ahahaha
The real question is why herQ is called head rush when it’s a kick
Great breakdown! Feel like I understand the archetype, the design choices, and the gameplay style much better after this.
Top tier content 😮
I wonder if people tried pairing her with Yuumi or Soraka.
That bonus healing from all sources will be more toxic than One for All Singed...
I love her so much, she's just a basement dwelling gremlin trying to be human, and her personality is so fun!
I'm so excited about briar bypassing all my wards, tp to me as adc AND have my sup feared while she shreds what little health I might still have while she instaheals all damage...
That "Sorry Dumbs" arround 11:07? Ah, flawless.
Honestly I love Briar I think she's a very balanced champ tbh she has a hell of a lot of counterplay and you have to play her perfectly to win
i think malzahar's ult is also counts as self inflicted hard cc
I don’t think blitz selfslow would be a hard control since you don’t lose control of him, maybe lissandra ult on self cast or Elise on super E
subbing for the transition to the sponsored portion of the video
Briar is just a more 200 years warwick, change my mind
She's insanely fun to play. Been also trying hwr out as support and every game is a clusterfuck and a love it
Love the v3 BGM I'm vibing hard
Vars losing his Cool after reading her E is the most hilarious thing i have ever heard XD🤣
3:42 Ryze's real warp roots him for a short duration
the segway into the sponsor was top tier
At first I really didn’t like briars abilities because she seemed very stat-checky but now that I’ve seen more of her gameplay I’ve actually started liking her design. She might be one of the best releases since renata
Briar is the true sion rework imho. Unlike the so called sion rework briar actually keeps the fun parts of old sions kit including ridiculous ap ratios for no reason. The biggest differnce between the playstyles is with old sion youd get kited easily but can just hit minions to never die, and with briar its harder to kite but you cant just hit minions.
Is ww not a berserker? Meant to run at people, all abilities go onto people, more healing at low hp, more atk speed when someone else is low hp, pretty squishy when not perma-fighting?
03:44 rumble can silence himself and bard can ult himself but idk if that counts
Although obviously a little different, technically Bard's ultimate and Yone's E hard cc themselves. Maybe Lissandra could be seen as one too?
