I am glad item recommendations are gone. The meta changes so fast that the item recomendations could easily become outdated. Specially with the mythics being removed next season. Its best to focus on what is less likely to change, since thankfull6, i doubt this champion is gonna be anything like akali, irelia or sylas, who all had to have several parts of their kits removed.

This is a good champ spotlight, discusses basic tech that u can do with Briar, basic counterplay, and compares her to some existing champs. Nice

love that you started adding if you like this /this /this or this champ you can try the new champ . keep it up rito

This new format/approach to introducing a new champion is really player friendly

including a bit of info about similar champs and style that fit this new one is a great addition to these videos. same with adding in champs and ways to counter this champ both of these additions will help all players get an idea of how they play and how to counter.

That last section comparing Briar with other champs is cool! Gives an idea of whether you would like her or not

Looks great and enjoyed the spotlight style. Only weird thing is she has basically the same voice as Jinx.

Honestly I feel she's gonna fill a similar niche as Nocturne. Having a way to join teamfights or gank from anywhere on the map is kinda nutty, especially when people master her ult. Otherwise the rest of her is crazy unique! It's neat they made this concept work so well.

Warwick is a good analogy here because he needs to fully commit to a chase with nothing but his ult to escape or gap close. With briar you gain more mobility tools, but because of the self taunt you must be aware of when its a good idea to commit to a chase.

Love the new section that compares her to other champs please keep it up

I will main her for sure. I already tryed out Briar on PBE and she is so fun to play. And i like her character design so much!

Honestly I've been wanting to try jungle for awhile but I was super nervous being a support main trying to learn a new role and figuring out what champs I need to get to find my playstyle. Briar looks like the kind of champ I can get behind mechanically. The section at the end that gives examples of other champions playstyles was a perfect addition and I hope they continue doing that going forward for future champions and reworks cause this game has changed so much that it's hard for newbies and returning players who haven't played for awhile (myself included) who have no idea what the state of the game in the rift is like.

I don't know much about lol Lore, but I knew there was some significance when I saw the 3 panel 1v1's. Apparently Leona/Diana and Urgot/Camille have history together. I like that they sprinkle Lore bits into the Spotlights.

Played her on the PBE. It felt good playing leagues 3rd "echo fighter" champ. Felt similar enough to her counterpart in strength but different enough in practice to distinguish her as her own champ.

Phreak is back

best character intro video y’all made. Please learn from this and don’t be lazy

The vid they used of Briar's ult is basically the same as the one used in Vex's spotlight lol

Wow look at the innovation 😂

Have not been super excited for a new Main in a longgggg time. Cannot wait!

does kench's omnom redirect her rage or just cancel it? what if she gets frozen in place and no viable targets are in range when she unfreezes? what about bards magical journey, can she use it when enraged? this spotlight was too vague on specific case scenarios. and if she uses stopwatch in a frenzy does it end her frenzy?

Also love the ending of this spotlight comparing her to other champs. Gives a better perspective of the champ.
