Doe her W just let her walk through terrain in that first clip we gonna talk about that O.o??? I'm afraid a lot of people are going to feed on her because the lack of control over over her, how stat checky she is, no health regen, and super low range. A lot people are going to play her like jax/tryndamere and try to play her like they're always 10/1 which will lead to a lot of deaths. That being said I really like her ULT a lot. I feel like the last few champions haven't had aesthetically impactful ULTs aside from the Aurelion Sol rework. Probably not a champ for me, but I hope her voice over sounds as visceral as her gameplay looks! JP - Backpaw
She gives be a mix of vibes Jinx and WW, and I like it, while folks say 'bleh just another crazy' but tbh I like her. Summoner name: Vulpinfang, NA server
Good vid Huzz! As an ADC main I don’t really like her, seems like a pain to deal with. I will be permbanning her like u do with Kata for the first few weeks at least. EUW - Ultimate Bro
So just to summarise it in different champions so people understand: Q is Jax jump. W is Yuumi attach 🌝. E is Azir ultimate but charges like Sion Q. Vex R. Passive is You make people bleed and you heal by that. You don't have natural HP regen unlike EVERYONE ELSE (Literally the opposite or Garen passive)
Honestly, Briar is one the craziest champs i’ve ever seen and the most hyped i’ve ever been for a new champ release. Damd love her crazy forced chases, insane lifesteal and DOPE ult. Can’t wait to try her out and kill anything i see. MelonSeed EUW
NA - GoldenRound As a volibear main myself, she looks like volibear without the limitations of a lack of gap closers. The second I saw her gameplay I already started theory crafting builds. Triforce if her base ad is high but otherwise stridebreaker (it seems like on-hit movement speed would be really nice on her) into ravenous and death'sdance/spirit visage with opt ins for wit's end, hull breaker, black cleaver, shojin's, and serylda's. I love champs who's entire identity is just to go in super hard, I like them even more when they win those all in's. I also like champs who are constantly teetering on that low health line and healing out of it (part of the reason I love volibear). EDIT: In retrospect BORK would also probably be amazing on her.
Oh boi. This sounds like an absolute nightmare in TopLane. If you play a fully melee champ with no escapes she will just stat check you. On the other hand if you blind pick her and someone picks a ranged (Kennen, Quinn) or a semi-ranged champ (by semi-ranged I mean champs that have a strong neutral game due to their ranged abilities like Aatrox, Darius with their Qs) you will have an awful time in TopLane Briar. When you explained her abilties my first thought was. Ok, she will love to stack HP and AS. Im not sure about what mythic will be optimal on her, but in terms of legendary items I think Black Cleaver + Spear of Shojin + BOTR + Deaths Dance / Steraks. I like the idea of yours to actually build a tank mythic on her. Also worth noting. If people intend to play her TopLane, for the love of all gods, ban Jax. I dont care if there are champs that are giga OP, you have to ban Jax (its like with Riven, you have to ban Renekton or you play laning phase without one of your abilities and the case of Briar vs Jax he pretty much denies your main damage source - W).
I love Warwick. When I first read about her kit (W Attack-speed/movementspeed, Chomp that heals, E that gives dmg reduction and CC and all in ult), I loved it immediately. Thought it would be a more agressive/more all in Warwick, and I like. EUW - Leberkeks
Interesting, she actually looks like a fun to play, couple of concerns though: It sounds to me like if you are building omnivamp she's gonna be near impossible to kill as long as she's attacking, sounds like hard CC is the only way to save yourself if you have it. Secondly with the W berserk thing going on, if it targets near by champions is that regardless of vision? Curious about that one. I feel that the CC when pushing champs in a wall is a little much but given that once you W your control is gone, I can imagine that being great for the oops I made a mistake button. having said all that ok yeah that ult looks so fun, without a doubt I would have a lot of fun at least, can see a lot of troll plays with folks ulting straight to the fountain. in summery, this champ looks so fun, little worried about builds with omnivamp I can see alot more thornmails in the future as suggested. Might be a balancing nightmare but it really appeals to me as a high risk/reward player. Thanks for the breakdown there Huzz! I'll try for the giveaway though: The White Mage EUW
Briar seems like she'd be fun to play, slightly frustrating to play against but could have some flexible, interesting changes or nerfs to her kit to make her more bearable such as the uncontrollable state being forced (Can't use E) for X seconds at low levels and reducing either with skill points or levels in order to reduce snowballing early game and increase the risk and commitment briar players take. Despite that I look forward to playing her as I've been trying to learn jungle and she seems simple enough like WW to pick up with maybe better clear from the W AOE. ( Grav3Warden EUW)
I think she could be a massive amount of fun. The thought of losing control of your character is both interesting and terrifying.. The R is certainly something new... Kinda makes me think of Vex mixed with Galio. NA Stuck in Irony
She's quite interesting. I like her design and abilities too. Her ultimate reminds me of Vex's ultimate + enhanced W. Her kit doesn't look overloaded per se but she does look like she might be annoying to deal with on launch
Briar not having innate regen Is both unique and also definitely an August design choice, like Zeri’s basic attacks being replaced/reworked. Overall I’m definitely eager to try her out NA YellowTrickster
As a person who plays older champions it's a little scary because I feel like anytime I trade she'll be full health after and I don't like the idea of Having to build an item to be successful, I feel like bramble is the new quicksilver sash tax. But she looks really cool and I love the self taunt mechanism. NA Blitzhawke
My favorite thing about briar is how on the surface is appears to be just a psychopath and while yes, she's a psychopath, she is also deceptively intelligent which I think is cool NA-EveJustEve
I think Briar and Naafiri have a bit in common with the bleed and heal. I REALLY LOVE THAT SHE HAS NO REGEN!! Huzzy I am very excited to see you play her and experiment with many builds man. NA - KaoticStar
Yuumi, “you dont need to move anymore” briar “hey same (hits blood frenzy)” i feel people will miss her ult a lottttt. Gonna be like yeeting ezreal shots where you may need to aim for the group NA/ Mod dj sona
One thing that I don't think people are realizing is that she can't really dodge skill shots when in frenzy. Like we saw she just ate the Gwen's Q which if Gwen was fed would have chunked Briar. Also she seems like a champ that if you get too far behind she will be near useless because of how she is only go in
She definitely looks fun. I'm a little skeptical that she gets so much cc in her kit. There's already a ton of cc abilities in the game so I'm not sure she needs 2 stuns and a fear. Lol NA: Raxicor
What A Champion! Thanks Huzz for the rundown of the Champ, a very good video. I love Vampires, but she does not really live up to the theme. Just my opinion ofc. When I saw the abilities, I was like 'Wh0t!?' ... People who start to play her will feed the enemy team big time, until we all learn how to play her ofc. Does not have to be. Still, I'd like to get her ASAP, she looks fun to play. Shadowix3 EUW
So pretty much her q is like Pantheon's W , her E is a combination of Sion q and K'sante W and her ult is literally Vex's R. That's what it is , sounds kinda broken and at the same time hard to play if u can't control it ngl and so about jg i believe rammus is gonna be her counter especially if u consider his item path bcs he builds thornmail and he has his W too
Im honestly really exited about her, she seems really fun and really unique but im also kinda scared of her healing, knowing how league and items are at the moment i dont think Bramble vest will be enough to stop her, lets see how they are going to balance her. EUW: Save the oofs
I 100% agree she's going to be a nightmare to balance. As cool as her kit sounds, she's going to be an absolute menace when she drops. But funnily enough these types of champions are the ones I enjoy playing the most lmao. And I can see why people would hate it, but I like the idea of losing control of your character for a set period,, automatic skill ceiling and tests how you'd operate Briar mechanically. I'm excited but I'm also quite apprehensive 🤔 EUW - kabanerry
Hey, I wanted to drop in for a quick question, this is not me participating in the giveaway 😅 I wanted to ask, this new champion is really my jam and I'd love to play her, but I quitted league a while back, the community and some of the aspects of the gameplay drove me away from the game, and this new champion is making me reconsider, so do you think the game is in a healthier state than the past 2/3 seasons? I don't wanna go back to it and find out it's still as bad 😞 anyway I hope you have a great day, and this champion is really, really sick! I can't wait for her theme to drop for sure ✨
She seems like a cool champion. I see a lot of hate on the design buts its honestly fine, the cinematic gives me jinx vibes so maybe some crossover there? Who knows :P
I really like that concept, it is just something different but still League enough for me. The first champ in a long time that I want to give a go as soon as possible ^^ EUW ECG Densema
Thanks to the loss of movement control, I think the biggest decider to her balance will be how squishy she is. If her hp/resist scaling is bad then she'll be really easy to nuke cuz she cant run away easy
Looks very fun to play, but might be harder than it seems. You can counter her very easy by good placement, cause she is attacking the nearest champion. You keep a tank close to you preferably a rammus lmao. Will definetly pick her up, might even become my main. SonnikWAV EUW
The R is amazing! August, as much as a nightmare to the balance team, he would be a catch to other games, maybe the MMO? The passive is well done, its a lot of neutral, which is also a bit bad for mages, but it will make her so aggressive
Briar looks fun, definitely as many lifesteal items as possible to supplement that missing health regen. My one point of concern though is two stuns for such a damage dealer seems questionable. How many champs have double stun/knockup cc? JDollasan, NA
It's important for league to have champions that are very easy to play. Whether for new players or ones that can't master micro plays more complex than point and click, champions like master yi and annie are important. Well, the new and improved version of this is to literally script the champion with one click and have them play on autopilot so you don't even have to move them anymore.
She looks like she will be the very definition of feast or famine, and I think they should tweak the W(other ways to cancel it than just the E) other than that she looks pretty fun. ( ÜberTipFiddler, EUW)
NA, summoner name ggzel How does red buff work on her? Is it percent health regen (so she would stay at 0) or would she get some health regen with red buff? The champ seems cool, probably not going to play it myself but I think it fits into the game, it's kind of funny if you like miss an ulti and hit someone behind them and teleport under their tier 2 tower or whatever.
it feels fun and at the same time a double edged sword in the way that if u play her u have fun with a high rate possibility of dying. i look forward to try her EUNE : 1 D3Vi1 CHi1D 6
To be honest, Huzz, I'm worried about how this would pan out once this gets released. The no health regen is in interesting choice but maybe that's implying that her healing will be off the charts over time. Again, that's a maybe. I'm also afraid of her cc to be honest but then again, I wanna see how this goes once it gets released. Summoner name: Ton Ami Server: NA
since naafiri kinda failed as a mid i'm kinda hoping briar can go mid XD But she looks really fun to me. Also with Bruisers already building assassins' Items i don't see how she's gonna be a true bruiser with that kit. Maybe she'll be a tanky assasin but they got rid of that in theory... so Idk how to feel about it. She does look fun though looking forward to trying here. To me she looks like she's going to be an AD version of Sylas almost. A tankier than they should be dmg dealer with a bit too much sustain, more of a fighter. NA- AzZiree
I think I would prefer if once you press R, the only other button you can press is Q, and maybe the second part of W. Just to lean into the hyper-frenzy mode more. JamesDrake9 NA
The self taunting ability is rather interesting. I just know I'm going to taunt myself under a tower and die lol. I'm interested to see how her blood frenzy is going to interact with other taunts, Renata, Ramus, Galio. If you use the blood frenzy for jungle clearing it might go pretty quick and may not need a tiamat item. NA-Adulwolf
I think she looks cool! Her ult is going to be very interesting to play around, being able tk engage at insane ranges, but as huzzy brought up himself - there's already Twisted Fate, Nocturn 's ult isn't nearly as far a range but seems similar to me. It'll be interesting for sure! BackToGulag, NA
WW(Q,W) mixed up with Qiyana R(E) and vex R(R). The losing control of the champ will be a good excuse to "feed". will be interesting to see. EUNE: Amalun
I know they think they did her bad by removing the passive HP regen but no resources (mana/ energy) is kinda ridiculous tbh with that kit, she seems fun though and I think it's going to be played more of an assassin playstyle and be kind of glass cannon instead of bruiser EUNE Ecryiox
I hope to god she doesn't end up a bigger healing problem then Aatrox. But considering her entire kit is about lifesteal... On the bright side she has been given very clear cut disadvantages and vulnerability that isn't connected to being outskilled, the same way her strengths aren't relied on high skill play. Region: EUNE Account: Korini
I absolutely love the concept and it's really unquie my only real issue is she has so much CC two stuns and a fear, if they removed the Q stun I think it would be much more balanced and fun to play against. EUW - Steamysnow
I really like the way she is animated,the variability of her movements is very interesting and i wish more champ would have that. But overall a fun looking abilities for the jugnle,her clear later on is gonna be nuts. Also i can already see the whole team rushing grievous wounds the second she gets picked :D AlienJony - EUNE
Dannydrop - EUW, Briar looks awesome, I don’t understand where she fits within the lore of the game, is she from the Shadow Isles? Edit- is she related to Vladimir in some way, did he sire her?
As you said surely she is gonna be impossible to balance, as there is no skill expression on her end in using either her W/R will be too strong and she will be able to stick on to everyone, or it will be weak and everyone can just kite her when she is in W (its going to be strong lets not joke around too much).
Seems like a lot of fun indeed, I wonder what her vs Olaf would end up. Self taunt is the terme used to describe her Blood Frenzy btw, I think it's pretty easy to understand that way. We will have to see how it interact with other taunt and the like abilities. My guess is that Vandiril will probably test that anyway x) EUW : Dasyatis69
I think you should add Kled to the mixing pot because it rewards you for playing hyper aggressive. Her W is Kled ult mixed with Warwick ult. Her ult sounds like Gaelio mixed with nocturn and vex. NA- aku37
I will say she has nothing relating her to Vlad or aattrox outside of lifesteal which a lot of champs have. She is a mix of Warwick, Sion, and vex. Q is unique, W1 is unique, W2 is ww q, E is a mix of Sion Q+E and ww E, and R is a longer ranged vex R.
This is insane, especially since she's meant to be a brawler if I remember correctly? So her survivability will be insane. But looks fun though EUW - PawButtox
I kinda like the fact that you lose control of her, I know it’s weird to say. You have to choose if you’re sure or not u can get the kill and trust briar to kill them while she’s in frenzy. A give and take as I see it. NA - Cheshcat1
As an ADC player and always getting gank even with a lot of vision, she is terrifying. Ganked from their bluff. With her it won't matter how much vision you have. You will just die since you did not flash her ult😂. She does seem kindoff like Yuumi, since 2 of your abilities make it that your dont even have to move yourself. The champ does it for you... EUW: Renierht13
She looks nutty as hell, but also fun as hell. And if she does build somewhat tanky, I can 100% get behind playing her. The whole "lose control of yourself" aspect will be interesting to learn. Summoner Name: Softpaw Server: NA
Is this the new Yuumi for new players but in the jungle?? You don’t have to do much besides push a couple buttons and the champ moves and attacks for you. -Legacywarl0rd NA
This champion looks pretty much like a combination of Vex and Vlad but with too much cc... I hope it will be healthy for the game tho... It looks potentially too OP for soloQ EUW: Cormack
Honestly, I have no clue how to feel about her. Her automatically taxing lane or inting with her ult feels annoying and I'm not looking forward to people not realising they can cancel the frenzy. For the giveaway: MagiWasTaken, EUW
(M3And4Animals) summer name - NA- Honestly I would just say Briar has the foundation of ww with the body of qiyana sprinkled with Gwen. Her W. Being a little like Gwen w. Briar’s E being like qiyana ult and I just have no words for her ultimate.
I honestly feel like this champion is indeed going to be super fun to play but a nightmare to balance properly, the fact that Riot allows champion design to be mixed up is amazing. EUW- Bushman24
I think Katarina will become my second perma ban behind Briar. I play a lot of immobile mages and looking at her kit....i'd prefer to be against a Katarina lol
That R is super unique. A part of me wish you weren't able to cancel her mania with E but I understand why it has to be that way.
it's literally vex r 💀💀
@@cyberwarrior6170 The first part does resemble Vex R but that's not what makes it unique.
It's a global fiddle ult
@@cyberwarrior6170literally a global self taunt that only stops when one of the 2 dies, not unique tho lol
What do you guys think of Briar?
She looks like alot of fun, do you think she could be played in top or mid?
@@kurtiswilson7386 her secondary role is top apparently so yeah in toplane atleast
if she getš ahead not much you can do against her, if she get's behind it'll be difficult for her
Doe her W just let her walk through terrain in that first clip we gonna talk about that O.o???
I'm afraid a lot of people are going to feed on her because the lack of control over over her, how stat checky she is, no health regen, and super low range.

How does red buff work on her? Is it percent health regen (so she would stay at 0) or would she get some health regen with red buff?
The champ seems cool, probably not going to play it myself but I think it fits into the game, it's kind of funny if you like miss an ulti and hit someone behind them and teleport under their tier 2 tower or whatever.
I feel like the extra dash on the W is unnecessary with the dash on her q as well, the champ looks cool though
EUW G64k
it feels fun and at the same time a double edged sword in the way that if u play her u have fun with a high rate possibility of dying. i look forward to try her

Riot is insane to release some of the latest champions in such states.
OCE - The Scribe.
To be honest, Huzz, I'm worried about how this would pan out once this gets released. The no health regen is in interesting choice but maybe that's implying that her healing will be off the charts over time.
Again, that's a maybe. I'm also afraid of her cc to be honest but then again, I wanna see how this goes once it gets released.

Ok I don't want new Champs but this one looks like my jam
I see Riot no longer wants any non tank champions in the game...
since naafiri kinda failed as a mid i'm kinda hoping briar can go mid XD But she looks really fun to me. Also with Bruisers already building assassins' Items i don't see how she's gonna be a true bruiser with that kit. Maybe she'll be a tanky assasin but they got rid of that in theory... so Idk how to feel about it. She does look fun though looking forward to trying here. To me she looks like she's going to be an AD version of Sylas almost. A tankier than they should be dmg dealer with a bit too much sustain, more of a fighter.
NA- AzZiree
I think I would prefer if once you press R, the only other button you can press is Q, and maybe the second part of W. Just to lean into the hyper-frenzy mode more.

The self taunting ability is rather interesting. I just know I'm going to taunt myself under a tower and die lol. I'm interested to see how her blood frenzy is going to interact with other taunts, Renata, Ramus, Galio. If you use the blood frenzy for jungle clearing it might go pretty quick and may not need a tiamat item.
NA-Adulwolf
I think she looks cool! Her ult is going to be very interesting to play around, being able tk engage at insane ranges, but as huzzy brought up himself - there's already Twisted Fate, Nocturn 's ult isn't nearly as far a range but seems similar to me. It'll be interesting for sure!
BackToGulag, NA
WW(Q,W) mixed up with Qiyana R(E) and vex R(R). The losing control of the champ will be a good excuse to "feed". will be interesting to see. EUNE: Amalun
I know they think they did her bad by removing the passive HP regen but no resources (mana/ energy) is kinda ridiculous tbh with that kit, she seems fun though and I think it's going to be played more of an assassin playstyle and be kind of glass cannon instead of bruiser
EUNE
Ecryiox
I hope to god she doesn't end up a bigger healing problem then Aatrox. But considering her entire kit is about lifesteal...
On the bright side she has been given very clear cut disadvantages and vulnerability that isn't connected to being outskilled, the same way her strengths aren't relied on high skill play.

Her ultimate sounds like a mix of nocturne and the old darius where if he executed he would get an aoe fear! (EUNE: Joamagic)
I see her getting most of her extra armor and magic resist getting removed by seems kind of crazy (Saggy Sycamore) region NA
she seems like an extreme "get fed or feed" type champion. Which is a fun idea but could also go very wrong.
OCE negsby
I absolutely love the concept and it's really unquie my only real issue is she has so much CC two stuns and a fear, if they removed the Q stun I think it would be much more balanced and fun to play against.
EUW - Steamysnow
I really like the way she is animated,the variability of her movements is very interesting and i wish more champ would have that. But overall a fun looking abilities for the jugnle,her clear later on is gonna be nuts.
Also i can already see the whole team rushing grievous wounds the second she gets picked :D
AlienJony - EUNE
Dannydrop - EUW, Briar looks awesome, I don’t understand where she fits within the lore of the game, is she from the Shadow Isles?
Edit- is she related to Vladimir in some way, did he sire her?
Glad to see that she is not just another assassin. Now have a proper vampire in league, Vlad doesn’t fit the vampire role for me. NA - Tenso
As you said surely she is gonna be impossible to balance, as there is no skill expression on her end in using either her W/R will be too strong and she will be able to stick on to everyone, or it will be weak and everyone can just kite her when she is in W (its going to be strong lets not joke around too much).
R makes me think nocturne on steroids-
With that R, i feel like she could be a mid laner. Set up tanks with Q, E.
Seems like a lot of fun indeed, I wonder what her vs Olaf would end up. Self taunt is the terme used to describe her Blood Frenzy btw, I think it's pretty easy to understand that way. We will have to see how it interact with other taunt and the like abilities. My guess is that Vandiril will probably test that anyway x)
EUW : Dasyatis69
I think you should add Kled to the mixing pot because it rewards you for playing hyper aggressive. Her W is Kled ult mixed with Warwick ult. Her ult sounds like Gaelio mixed with nocturn and vex.
NA- aku37
I will say she has nothing relating her to Vlad or aattrox outside of lifesteal which a lot of champs have. She is a mix of Warwick, Sion, and vex. Q is unique, W1 is unique, W2 is ww q, E is a mix of Sion Q+E and ww E, and R is a longer ranged vex R.
Q is basically jax Q with stun
Seems more like Warwick/Vex/Kled with how all-in blood frenzy is rather than Aatrox/Vladimir/Warwick.
This is insane, especially since she's meant to be a brawler if I remember correctly? So her survivability will be insane. But looks fun though
EUW - PawButtox
She seems like another modern Yi....definitely healthy for the game lol Cool concept though.
Grey Clover/NA
I kinda like the fact that you lose control of her, I know it’s weird to say. You have to choose if you’re sure or not u can get the kill and trust briar to kill them while she’s in frenzy. A give and take as I see it.
NA - Cheshcat1
I am looking forward to seeing how she feels! But seems hard to balance indeed

As an ADC player and always getting gank even with a lot of vision, she is terrifying. Ganked from their bluff. With her it won't matter how much vision you have. You will just die since you did not flash her ult😂. She does seem kindoff like Yuumi, since 2 of your abilities make it that your dont even have to move yourself. The champ does it for you...
EUW: Renierht13
She looks nutty as hell, but also fun as hell. And if she does build somewhat tanky, I can 100% get behind playing her. The whole "lose control of yourself" aspect will be interesting to learn.
Summoner Name: Softpaw

Is this the new Yuumi for new players but in the jungle?? You don’t have to do much besides push a couple buttons and the champ moves and attacks for you.
-Legacywarl0rd NA
Well i think she is interesting one, can't wait to try her.
Sirius93 EuNe.
Love the no innate passive healing, makes an interesting character. Also the kind of self taunt to buff herself is interesting

This champion looks pretty much like a combination of Vex and Vlad but with too much cc... I hope it will be healthy for the game tho... It looks potentially too OP for soloQ
EUW: Cormack
you said it best huzz looks fun to play, but could be a nightmare to play against
NA-Neon Zataku
She looks interesting but I agree that she could be a balance nightmare. I'm intrigued by her healing though.
NA - Ryvvik
Honestly, I have no clue how to feel about her. Her automatically taxing lane or inting with her ult feels annoying and I'm not looking forward to people not realising they can cancel the frenzy.
For the giveaway: MagiWasTaken, EUW
I feel like the E is like the Quiyana ult. I like her design but I feel like she is going to be horrible to balance and waaaay to OP
NA- SpeedyBacon
ROCK AND STONE ME LADS, OR YOU AINT DIGGING HOLES
This is an interesting champion for sure

(M3And4Animals) summer name - NA- Honestly I would just say Briar has the foundation of ww with the body of qiyana sprinkled with Gwen. Her W. Being a little like Gwen w. Briar’s E being like qiyana ult and I just have no words for her ultimate.
if they let august stay on the champ design team, then we need 20 bans every single game
I think she looks really cool
I think she can also play sup
looks like 6 patch notes worth of nerfs lol
ggwp huzz
I honestly feel like this champion is indeed going to be super fun to play but a nightmare to balance properly, the fact that Riot allows champion design to be mixed up is amazing.
EUW- Bushman24
This is gonna be fun

I think Katarina will become my second perma ban behind Briar. I play a lot of immobile mages and looking at her kit....i'd prefer to be against a Katarina lol
