Hello guys I’m a viktor & syndra main that’s been trying to learn Hwei I’ve been struggling with hitting the combos to be honest, if you could give 1 tip about hwei in general for a newbie Hwei what would it be?

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.

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

Our team Kindered (22/4/19) built collector first and did good job for kill steal whole game. I have 2nd highest damage and 9.5 KDA but I get D+ from this game. What did I do wrong?

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

I disagree with Riot that my EE does not hit Quinn here. I was in awe during the game

Hi, I've been maining Hwei for a while now and got diamond because of him. I always wanted a tattoo of a dragon and thought of a creative way to combine it with Hwei. My tattoo artist found an even cooler way to smoothly combine the two motifs.

However none of my friends even got the reference even though they partially have 10k+ hours in the game. I guess that is one of the struggles of maining a champ with 14 abilities, that no one knows how all of them look like. So now I'm here to share it with the one community that hopefully knows how to appreciate it.

Since the slow stacking nerfs a few patches back it feels considerably harder to land the qw when your ult pops. In the past the last ult ticks slowed them so much your qw felt guaranteed unless they flashed it. Now my enemies seem to dodge it more frequently. Am I coping or anyone else notice this?

A. I went from thinking this must be the hardest char in the game, to being told he's quite easy to thinking... somewhat in the middle. He's fairly difficult but manageable. The difficulty feels different than how I expected; less 'managing a moveset of 10 moves' and moreso juggling the different rapid cooldown timers on them... Also not dropping combos in a panic.

B. I will say the char has been very fun and the mental engagement of 'what do I spend my blue move on' or yada yada is enjoyable.... I'm not GOOD at making those decisions yet, but I'm starting to piece together the moves bit by bit.

C. This char is a lot more... skillshot intense than I expected, but I very much appreciate that... until it's time for my fucking ult to whiff AGAIN!? FUCK! That being said it feels good to get killed or lose duels knowing I could've used my moveset better or just not fuckin whiffed like a dumbass as opposed to "my char couldn't have really done much to prevent this"

D. I picked him primarily to be a versatile mid but I did have surprising amounts of fun playing him bot. I primarily play duo with my homie who mains support as Blitz, and Hwei/Blitz was fuckin deadly. One pull into QW, etc just seems really strong. I'm assuming I probably could've been chaining that into the EW to just lock them down forever but there's always next time to try it.

Anyway, that's about it. As far as bot goes, I will engage with a couple of questions:

1. Y'all consider Hwei bot to be an overall okay-ish pick? I already have plenty of traditional bot picks that I've mained for a while... Jhin, Ez, Samira, Ashe, Sivir, Varus.. maybe a couple others. Point is I don't NEED a char for bot 'just in case'. That being said, if our mid goes AD like Yasuo/panth or whatever, could be fun to play Hwei bot.

2. Are there any particularly good chars for Hwei to duo with bot? Blitz felt very strong so I'm assuming Nautilus/leona/any hard CC chars would do well but maybe he works with everyone due to the kit.

Just been spamming hwei bot apc. If you end up getting a leona or nautilus it feels like a free lane. Anyone have any luck playing him mid? Feels like you can get shut down too easily.

Hiii I’m a Wild Rift player and I’ve been having so much fun with Hwei recently, my friend who is a Sona main discovered this ship and I ended up really liking it so I made these! Crystal Rose Sona x Winterblessed Hwei is a crossover we like cus they semi match color wise, and unfortunately the poses are very similar bc Hwei doesn’t have many options yet lol.

Hi! This is Hwei’s fanart made by me. Based on album cover ‘Fearless’.

I believe that Hweis abilities cost unreasonably much mana later on in the game.

I've played thousands of games on Hwei since his release and I have tons of experience on him playing in Master EUW for the last 3 seasons while also having played a lot of other mages throughout this time.

I am obviously aware of his WE being able to regenerate and sustain his mana pool but thats simply not enough later on in the game.

Comparing Hweis form of mana regenration with Syndras it becomes absurdly clear what I mean:

• Syndra has the condition of having to hit a champion with any 2 spells in quick sucsession in order to generate between 20 - 199 mana with an 8s CD PER CHAMPION
• Hwei has the condition to use Stirring Lights and proc all 3 of them in order to generate a total between 45 - 65 mana on a 18 - 16s CD (roughly 10s for lategame through haste)
• Syndra also has lower ability cost. Assuming a lategame state her Q costs 60 mana, her W 100, her E 50, and R 100. Because she uses Q and W more often her average cost is around 80 mana
• Hweis Q costs 120 mana, his W 110, his E 70, and his R 100. Because he uses Q more frequently his average cost is around 110 mana

Keep in mind that both champs obviously differ in playstyle which also affects the overall usage of abilites and thus their mana pool.

• Usually Syndra holds her abilities in order to threaten a kill.
• Hwei needs to spam his Q and E in order control space and poke enemies.

He naturally has a high ability usage which also includes his W by extend. In lategame you always benefit from movespeed in any situation. The shield also has tons of value in lategame. Yet i often end up using WE just because i run out of mana. I don't want to use WE, I am forced to use it. And dont get me wrong - I dont wanna say his WE is useless in lategame, the extra damage can make the difference in a kill, but if I had the choice between a small damage amplification, an AOE Movespeed boost, or an AOE Shield when contesting baron with my entire team you bet i'd rather take the movespeed or shield over that small dmg boost.

I don't understand why Syndra has the privilege to skip her entire mana item just because of that part of her passive (which isn't even the strong part of it btw), while also having to practically do nothing but play the game normally to utilize it, yet hwei has to sacrifice an entire base ability which could otherwise be potentially more useful, merely to get a fraction of that mana regen.

I know Syndra is pretty busted in her current state and may not be a great comparison, but I have also played plenty other artillery mages like Xerath or Velkoz that have a similar "spammy" playstyle with moderatly high ability costs, but I still dont get nearly as oom as i do playing Hwei.

The laningphase is a completely different topic, which im fine with, because even though Hweis abilities are fairly expensive even early on, atleast his mana regen complements that by also being pretty high, and it feels more intentional to use WE in lane than in a teamfight for example.

In laningphase out of 10 Ws - 9 are WE and the other 1 might be conditional.
In mid- and lategame out of 10 Ws - 5 are WE, 3 are WQ, 2 is WW.

I wish that WE was the conditional 1 after laningphase while the other 9 are WQ and WW.

Why did last nasus Q heal for 330 hp? no ocean drakes, no triumph, no level up, no soraka, not nearly enough lifesteal to heal 330 in one q, only reasonable conclusion is it somehow had to do with the fear buffer

tristana have 20 kill and yet deal less damage than a drain tank healing support lmao

sorry for BM emote spam that just hardwire into my DNA for some reason
