Alright, so I’ve been messing around with Smolder in League, trying to figure out some good champion combos. Here’s what I’ve been up to:
My Smolder Synergy Experiment
First, I jumped into a few normal games, just to get a feel for Smolder’s abilities again. I wanted to see how he played after some the recent changes. I picked him, locked it in, and got ready to do experiments.
Then, I started thinking about which champions might work well with him. I mean it is a team game and I needed to start thinking about others.
Here’s a rough breakdown of my “scientific” process:
- Tried a bunch of different supports: I played with a Leona, who can lock down enemies for Smolder to hit with his abilities.
- Paired him with a Janna. Her shields and speed boosts can help Smolder stay alive and chase down kills.
- Tested some enchanters like Lulu and Nami, figuring their buffs could make Smolder even stronger.
After a couple of matches each, I took a look at my own match history, I checked which support I had most frequently with him. I noticed that I was consistently getting more kills and assists, and I felt like I was having a bigger impact on the game when playing these supports.
So, based on my very rigorous and totally-not-casual testing, Leona, Janna, and Lulu can be good teammates for Smolder. I recommend pairing them with a Smolder the next time you have a teammate lock him in!
