Eh that’s not such a big deal for pros if she can murder everyone with a little skill, which with that dumb windwall will probably be the case.

Samira's ability run down. It looks like she has pretty big range on her sword, so activating the bonus damage of her passive doesn't look as hard as you might think.

One thing that’s unique to Samira but not shown here is here taunt. Her taunt is actually a skill shot that cost one gold to use. She roots herself and flicks a coin that does 1 damage to anything it hits. It also counts as a unique source of damage for her style passive

Am I reading that right? Samira's third passive (lol) makes her auto attacks knock up on any impaired movement? So a slow turns into a knockup? Or is it limited to hard CC?

I think it's specifically immobilize?

I could've sworn it said immobilized champs before (roots/stuns/airborne/charm/fear) but the passive does say 'impaired movement' so idk. There is a long-ish target cd indicator around the champ after it activates (~10 seconds or so) so even if it works with slows it should be fine (assuming she can't apply it with Glacial Augment since it says "allies").

Robots confuse squirrels.


I read it as extending the CC that was already there, but the juggle is just a visual thing. So it's not turning a stun into a knockup, it's extending the initial stun. If it did turn any CC into a knockup we'd be looking at Yasuo/Samira duos forever.

Its actually a .5 second knock up, .5 seconds because thats the minimum CC duration so tenacity won't reduce it. It also has a 6 shot component to the knock up (the actual bullet juggle) and I'm wondering if those 6 shots apply on hits... assuming no.

If they do, they'll apply them at reduced effectiveness ala Urgot's W.

One of the main testers is doing twitter Q&A on Samira

Legendary BM on the taunt

https://twitter.com/Blizz_lol/status/1300833176462319618

Things mid lane doesn't have: junglers


They are saying she has a weak early, large midgame spike, and then not as big a late game. Her ult apparently has a .6 bonus AD ratio per shot so it does like 100 dmg + 6xbAD at rank 1 if you eat the entire channel.

Passive knockup has a per champion lock out. The dash to a champion only happens when she attacks an immobilized target to activate the knock up. This means she will be very good at following up on leona/naut/whatever since she can dash in from far out to get into range.

Samira's psy ops ult is nutty

Although PBE performance is nothing to indicate how she'll actually pan out, she seems like she'll be a totally fine across top/mid/bot.

I keep it taco (Jhin one trick) is playing her right now on PBE and a lot of her power seems to be in her ult and boy howdy its nasty. He ulted twice in a pretty quick 2v2 bot and it does a lot of damage.

The Q auto farming looks crisp. So far he has been going IE->Deaths Dance.

I think there's a lot of variability to her build potential. But not having Muramana seems really lousy when her max rank Q can be spammed ad nauseum and her passive applies on-hits 6 times.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

It took me 800 games but i finally did it, i climbed from bronze 4 to platinum. Even though I was flagged for losses many times, i rode a recent bout of winners queue straight to the top.

I feel like it shouldn't have taken me this long with these winrates and KDAs but getting flagged for losses and the general disadvantage of solo queuing as an ADC made it challenging.



Now that im plat 4 i can feed my brains out on samira no problem on release :getin:

it's really fun when your Sona support face checks bushes and dies six times to MF/Janna in four minutes and then you lose LP because obviously if you were actually good you'd be able to turn the tides as early game Twitch

like man I've been playing this game for so fuckin' long I feel like I surely must not be as awful as these guys! but then Riot is like "nah you a busta, here's three chimps with laptops and a badly coded robot, carry them or else"

Nice little addition with 10.18: there's a new keybind, "Show summoner names," that will cycle through three different modes: displaying summoner names; displaying champion names; and displaying nothing. If you have trouble telling enemy champions apart at a glance, especially with some of the new skins, this is a good option for quickly being able to identify who's who in a teamfight.

this game is kind of funny because i was looking at blitz last night in a lobby and i had the solo killer tag for getting solo kills in 50% of my games and i was like "isn't that low? that feels low" and one of my teammates was like uhhhh no that is not low.

A trynd thats ulting near samira is probably killing samira especially if shes standing still doing a taunt that Trynd can just Q immediately off of to not have 1 HP

It does 1 dmg!! But I think you'll get ppl doing it while someone is DOTed by red buff or liandries and APPEAR to get the kill which will be worth it.

No. Trynd's ult leaves him with a minimum amount of HP, and that minimum is not 1. (E: For most of the game that minimum is 30.)
