Discussion What are the reference points for Hwei in lane?

6 Upvotes

So i've recently picked up mid lane, on this account i've gone from platinum to diamond the past few months. Ive dabbled with a few champions to see which ones i want to continue playing and invest time in. The one i plan to play the most will likely be Hwei.

So far im winning alot of games on him, i feel like i have a pretty good understanding of teamfighting, when to sidelane etc.

The one thing i dont understand is what i am supposed to do in lane. On some other champs i've played its very clear (like Viktor you play to dominate and his trades are very straight forward, you are basically strong and can contest the enemy on the wave from level 1 for the rest of the lane in 95% of matchups, on Vex ur honestly mostly chilling and holding ur spells defensively, have good wave states to move and such).

Now with Hwei i just dont know what im supposed to do, when i am strong, who i can bully and not. If i have a good matchup, like maybe a lower range mage, is the idea to scale until lvl 6-8 and lost chapter, then you try to play similar to viktors identity of pushing them in and trading? Are you actively looking to trade from early game? Can you do viktors gameplan vs assasins of posturing aggressively and poke them so they cant all in you or do you need to be alot more respectful?

If we compare his laning to other mages, and his isolated 1v1, am i a lane bully? If Viktor is a 10/10 for isolated lane, and ahri is a 3/10. Where does hwei sit?

Something that works for me is just playign scaling runes and fully stonewalling lane by Q-E clearing and basically not doing much... but my inclination is maybe this is a very bad habit and im supposed to do alot more (similar to viktor, would be grief to just sit in africa and lasering the wave in most scenarios unless ur behind or you just dont have a timer).

Assuming the idea is right of looking to bully, roughly when do you become dominant, if we assume good mage matchup and a jungler that doesnt have threat. Or should i be happy stonewalling every lane and just play for teamfighting?

If the idea is right that you sometimes become a lane bully. What are some common way to use your spells aggro? (What i am thinking is: Q-Q poke. E-E + Q-W/Q-Q. And if they are abit low you lead with R -> EW/EE->QQ/QW.

Cheers.

Discussion How do you beat Hwei APC??

8 Upvotes

Literally just got my crap ran in and I literally played lane flawlessly. Didn't die, had higher CS, but couldn't go in and kill and actually hit the turret at ALL. Support was playing the best she could too. We were Zeri + Nami.

It feels like he has everything:

  • CC (Root,Fear)
  • Peel
  • MS amp
  • Damage
  • Shield (unless that's just Yumi on him)
  • Infinite Range

It's either he's just a hard counter to Zeri specifically in botlane, or Yuumi is more broken on him than on Zeri, or APC is still busted for no reason after months of this. I can't tell what's the cause.

I hope I'm an idiot and there's actually easy counterplay to him, but fuck I have no clue. It was so infuriating, going through lane just fine but never able to do anything because he gets back to lane faster than I can even if we do outtrade him, teamfights are a no go bcs he can pop off while his team goes in, etc etc.

I usually ban Cait but I might permaban Hwei just cuz of this game, it was genuinely uninteractable. If I ban him I can play into Cait, just push the lane fast always and hope we don't die. But she's good into supports specifically not letting them move, so any advice to beat Hwei APC would be appreciated. I've never run into him in botlane before besides supp and hopefully it was just a goated duo and I never run into that again in my life.

I ended the game 1/2/5, highest CS in the game (273 @ 28:58) bcs I was trying to outscale SOMEHOW. If anyone needs the game replay or other stuff lmk, I'm not sure how to do that but I need help, DESPERATELY

Help New player starting with Hwei

7 Upvotes

Hello! I just joined, as in start playing League, about a day ago, and I’m using Hwei. Any sort of advice would be very appreciated, whether about Hwei and how to use him, or League in general. So far, a sort of strategy I have is to stay in middle lane and try play defensively, and push forward if nobody else is nearby, but I am happy to hear of other things I can do.😅

Help Where to find affordable WOMEN league coaches?

22 Upvotes

So I've been playing League for about two years, and I'll admit I suck. I ping-pong between low silver and high bronze. I think my main issue is just knowledge about the game. Like, I can't tell you what a single item does or what wave management means. That being said I was looking at some websites from googling league of legends coaching and all the coaches are always men. I get it. It's league. It's mostly men but as a woman who has had some weird interactions in the past, I would prefer a female coach. Also preferably someone not insanely expensive, as I'm a poor resturant server, but I know that might be too much to ask for when I'm already being picky about gender.

Am I shit out of luck or are there websites that have some female as well as male coaches?

I’ve been tryna figure out what would be a good design for Hwei’s brush if I were to give my go at designing him a Heartsteel inspired skin. So far my idea was to include a speaker showing an audio icon changing color depending on which ability is in use, which would turn to a “no audio” icon when no abilities are cast. I can’t tell if this is tryna fit in too much maybe? Any feedback is welcome 😊

Build/Setup My hwei build that works just fine but no one builds it

0 Upvotes

Hey there, I'm your local hwei lover who has been playing this champ since he was released and tried almost everything on him. I would like to tell you about what I built for him, perhaps you want to try it out.

I go Ludens first then Liandrys second. Why? If the enemy has 2+ bruisers then this build gives me damage on both squishies and bruisers. Because if I build Full burn with black fire torch and Liandrys, I don't do damage to squishies. If I go all dmg aka Ludens and Shadowflame, it is hard to take down tanky opponents. You may ask why wouldnt you let your team handle the bruisers, I promise you in the hell of emeralds, I can't leave anything to my team anymore. I must be jack of all traits.

Ludens, Liandrys second then Rabadons. I usually get rabadon as the third item on every occasion not later not earlier. However there are rare occurances where I leave it to the forth slot if more than one enemy is stacking the hell out of MR. I buy void staff third then Rabadons forth. But usually I suggest getting your main power spike item at 3.

Ludens, Liandrys, Rabadons. For the forth item, If the enemy's stacking mr, but are very tanky OR I have multiple AP allies, I go blood letters curse. If it is only me who deals AP DMG OR the enemy's mostly squishy still, I go void staff. For the last item, I go between Shadowflame or Horizon Focus. I rarely go Zhonyas or something expectional/situational unless for example there's a Rengar.

In scenarios where there is Malphite, tf etc. I build banshee. I often just get the shield item for 1600 and do the rest of the build until Rabadons then finish it as the 4th item because the difference is mostly the cooldown.

This Luden Liandry build of mine has confused a lot of people around me, even I was bullied in game as if these idiots touched any other champion other than their main. But it seriously works and I've been building this to hwei since the enemy often has +2 bruisers for years and I promise it has been working all good, I suggest you try it out, you won't be disappointed. Thank you for your time and I apologize if I made any grammar mistakes, English is not my first language.

Doing a quick update a week after my last post, I think I did about 15-20 more ranked games since last time. Hwei bot is still golden imo. 61 games total and 46 were just spamming hwei. Got me 674 lp just using him bot with randoms. Still think he's way better bot than mid most of the time. Now it's time to go through diamond. Abuse it before it gets nerfed.

Build/Setup What do I build into Burst?

7 Upvotes

Mostly title, for context I was playing into LeBlanc and Tristana. I don't usually build Seraph's but in the case where I need to be able to survive dive/burst, what should I be building? I went mercs (LB, Morg, Seraphine cc hell) and was thinking of just stacking health items with utility to be beefier, but not sure if that would help. If I wasn't killing anyone I wanted to play for utility (and get Imperial Mandate) but really I split 3 different ways because I couldn't make up my mind on what to do.

LB got the last red pick on me or I probably wouldn't have picked Hwei into her

Isn't D+ the worst rank? Only given to trollers? Why does game think I trolled? This is ARAM
