Tips Against Smolder in Adc Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Rank_1_Idiot says “Smolder will outscale you and does true damage, so you cannot stall for lategame.”
afr0rk says “Don't let him breathe. Keep him under his turret and don't let him stack easily. The longer you keep him from reaching his true damage burn, the better. Consider buying early boots to dodge his W.”
Amberdragon says “Smolder relies a lot on hit abilities to do damage and he usually seeks to poke a lot with them -- on one hand that is good for Sivir, because you can spellshield abilities. But the issue is that Smolder has his Q up way more often than you have your E, and he has higher range, so he can bully you a bit. Besides, his wave clear is probably on par with yours until mid game or so. Late game you should be fast enough to run away or run him down, but he will have more burst damage and poke. So all in all: matchup is more favorable for Smolder, but your early game is on more equal footing especially depending on support matchup. You also scale well, play to your advantages (teamfights and helping your team get a good engage off). Ideally use your E to block his W and R, especially early game, since they deal more damage.”
Bobalegre says “He has a weak early game, be careful with his W poke and try to trade and all in to get any advantage possible, later in the game when he has more stacks try to stay out of his range.”
Amberdragon says “Matchup is in your favor early game, so make sure you pressure him and don't let him stack his Q easily. If the game drags on until he gets 225 stacks you can't do anything to stop him on your own. See matchup section for more details.”
Amberdragon says “Matchup is in his favor thanks to his poke and late game. If the game drags on until he gets 225 stacks you can't do anything to stop him on your own. See matchup section for more details.”
Amberdragon says “Smolder wants to spend his early game poking his enemies and farming for stacks. As long as you dodge his W and stay out of his range, it should be relatively easy to avoid his poke. You also have more damage early game, which helps you get lane prio and pressure him. Your win condition is closing the game early and not letting him stack til 225, if he does, he becomes trouble. But even late game, your high range and combo damage are still a threat to him unless he is not going for a squishy build.”
wungus says “Smolder is short range, but that's his only weakness. He will poke you to gain stacks of his passive, his W has a massive hitbox, and his E counters your engage entirely. He infinitely scales and becomes unstoppable at around 20 minutes. Also a very good ban candidate.”
Demonsedge90 says “Defeating Smolder requires careful positioning and a favorable support matchup while in the lane. Disrupting his farming with your support can make it easier to handle him. Keep in mind that he scales well into the late game, so it's important to exercise caution when engaging in fights.”
Vapora Dark says “Traditional Q max Smolder is an extremely easy matchup due to how low ranged and easy to bully he is. W spam Smolder build is very hard because of how hard he pokes you from outside of your range without ever letting you trade against him. I'm expecting W max Smolder to have been nerfed shortly after this guide is released, so fingers crossed.”
SheriffADC says “He has weak earlygame, no hard CC and very little mobility so stomping him in the first ~20 minutes is pretty easy, just keep in mind that he has really good scaling. Also you can block his ult.”
Feather Fatale says “Smolder is currently in a good spot so he is a potential ban simply because he is meta. However if you feel like you can deal with him there isn't anything in his kit that makes him a direct threat.”
mcdnldsmngrxdd says “He's going to W wave on repeat, so play outside of the wave, when you have items you're able to engage on him, once he E's, you need to make a decision on whether you're going to back off or commit to killing/bursting.”
NotAragami says “Ah crap... this Disney character. He's supposed to play like a hyperscaling ADC like Jinx, but recently people are adopting Comet + max W for extreme harass. Guess who also has the same harass ability? You, but your wall W requires a whole second to actually hit anything while he just spits out a big projectile that is impossible to sidestep.
You will lose lane against Comet Smolder, I highly recommend getting a Refillable Potion. ”
Reys_offf says “I really hate to play against him, if you're playing champions like ivern you most likely won't do much if smolder plays safe since he out scales you in mid-late game, poke him as much as posible”
