[2020] Samira - Abilities Rundown - League of Legends | League of Legends Dev Tracker | devtrackers.gg (2024)

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

Hello boss, hope you had a good week off :D

What are your thoughts on the fact that Samira's kit nullifies the kiting skill of a marksman?

U mean that Samira doesn’t have to kite?

Is this a joke? As if this champ wasn't already overloaded as f**k.

Lol well it’s kind of a bad move to do most of the time, it doesn’t add power. It’s more to style on people if u can actually manage to do it

Not necessarily never, but is not completely punished due to her sword.

Right but that’s her whole unique identity.

I'm not sure I like that, since that basically means that you would want to start every fight with the taunt if you just can. So basically whenever enemy doesn't have vision of you and is walking towards you, you get 1 free rank of style rating with it. And that 1 rank brings a faster ult, and can be extremely powerful swing in getting damage out fast.

It straight up DOES add power in that situation... Obviously not if the enemy can see her and react to it, then its dogsh*t. But in facecheck situations, if it can be smoothly used as a combo starter then there is no doubt at all that it indeed does add power. Goes against your idea of not adding power.

It's range is shorter then vision and it roots her for the animation duration, so in many cases it can get you killed

How does her ult work with sylas? Does he need to get an S or can he just use it?

I'm pretty sure he also steals the style passive and has to build style meter

CertainlyT never left the company, did he?

He actually didn't he's just not on Champions Team anymore, but his spirit remains

Originally posted bybz6

Right but is that going to set the bar for future marksman?

No, its just her unique thing

Blake Smith just said he does not: https://twitter.com/Mauler4500/status/1300841685870551041

Ah, well he is right, i couldnt remember for sure

Originally posted byFaeeLOL

Sure, but that still keeps the facecheck situation the same? You would still want to start with it and time it correctly to combo off of that afterwards to get faster ult. That goes for every single situation where an enemy is coming towards you without seeing you, such as just running into a bush when somebody is chasing you and turning the fight with the faster combo afterwards. I have no doubt that it increases power unless it acts as an autoattack and subsequently makes you need to wait to be able to autoattack after using it. That would then actually make it just for style since autoattacking would both deal more damage and have no risk with it.

I mean it roots you for 3 seconds, and cost 1 gold to use. If you can manage to use that as a opening all the time, then you deserve that opening style point

$20 PayPal to the first player than can bm kill an enemy by last hitting them with this mechanic in ranked

Just imagine the coin taunt Baron steal

Originally posted byDM_ME_LEWD_KINDRED

Wait

So that costs 1 gold per time used?

Oh god we have a new way to grief

It also gives the opponent 1 gold if it hits them

Originally posted byMetroidHyperBeam

Wait a second... if it stacks her passive, wouldn't it be optimal to lead with her taunt when someone facechecks a bush she's in...?!?

sure why not

Originally posted byKarma_Retention

Imagine if the enemy got the 1 gold. The monster riot would of created in new inting.

They do get the 1 gold

Originally posted byZedex__

For real though, whats to stop you from getting a free style point from a dead enemy by throwing a coin on them? After that you can keep combo'ing and ulti quicker. Is that an intentional reward for scoring kills on her? Why not just make it automatic?

I mean u have to root yourself for 3 seconds to do it, so if thier are enemies nearby that you could actually take advantage of a style meter on they can attack you while you are rooted

Originally posted byCraneteam

i wonder how forgiving the combo meter will be. also this champ would be perfect for the fighting game

Designing Sylas and Samira I was really hoping that will happen. I love fighting games.

I love the interaction of all the rioters in this thread

We are all excited to see the reactions from players <3

Originally posted byVulpoison

What is the Sylas ult interaction with Samira? Can he not use it, does he need to build combo to use it, or can he use it right out the gate?

As the ultimate villain he can just use it. Point his fingers like guns and yells 'bang bang bang!'

What is your favorite new gen Fighting Game (like let's take GGXRD, SFV, Tekken 7, DBFZ, Grandblue Fantasy, BCTB, the last MK and the last UNIST)?

GGXRD even though I suck at it! I can't get enough of GG character designs. I've just been learning Answer recently I love how bm he is. Tekken 7 is the hero of this gen though imo - about time a game eclipsed SF.

My reaction is I just lost my permaban for the next 3 months :( she looks fun tho

Yeah I think she fall into that category of 'if my team picks her they will hard int, if their team picks her they will hard carry'

Originally posted byTrumpalot

The real question is how much Devil May Cry were you all smoking when you designed this one?

DMC is a hell of a drug

Will do!

Seeing your flair, I worked on Zoe too :P
