Hello a Hwei OTP here from r/Hweimains
The champion is crazy, didn’t see such mastery curve for a mage since Azir. But once you nail down the combos and timings+skillshots, the champ is absolutely broken.
The scalings are alright but his Q and W AP scalings need to be toned down at least in preparation for pro play spring season. Imagine if Faker had played Hwei in Game 4 of finals, too bad he wasn’t released back then. He would be pick/ban in spring at his current state.
We have listed 17 bugs that we have sent to support but there’s been no response, 10 of them are Viego related bugs.
His mid lane match ups vs mages are alright but suffers vs assassins due to no good escape pattern, his CC should last longer than 1 sec given how hard it is to land tbh.
The Hwei support mains are malding due to higher than average mana costs tho but so far, we found out that he pairs very well with Jhin in bot or maybe as a mage botlaner alongside Senna!
Hwei is by far the best addition to League’s roster in 2023. The lore and VA are really well done, some of the lines are really powerful if a bit tragic for my taste. So much references to artistry!
His character and silhouette are really well defined, can’t wait to see how his skins will change his brush
TLDR: he’s very fun but has the exact kit that pro play needs, if you make him 45% WR pro play champ, we will only be left with one recourse: boycott + reddit threads. I hope you are aware that I am a veteran who served in the Vel’Koz and Shen boycotts and even dabbled in the Seraphine… thingy, I won’t take it lying down and neither will the Hwei mains 😡
