“So, especially now with the the new crit build that we've been seeing with Essence Reaver and even opting into Infinity Edge, Smolder still does an insane amount of damage. You have to be a little more careful with him if you do go for the crit build as you're a little more squishy, but overall Smolder will continue to do Smolder things, and I still think he belongs in God tier. Then of course we have Ezreal joining him as the other primary ADC option, and there's still some good S-tier ADCs that you can play, especially depending on what support you pick up, all right? Like Lucian and Mil- with Milio can still be a massive threat, Miss Fortune and all this can still be a massive threat. Then you got your have some hyper carries in A tier.”

Commentary

verbatim creator quotes
royalhand-written· Patch 7.1d analysis (Royal)
patch 7.1d

Scope: This section reflects state as-of patch 7.1d per Royal. May be outdated for later patches — see top-level Tier history. "The GOD tier champions continue to be Ezreal and Smolder. Ezreal in the right hands just outputs way too much damage while being way too safe." — [[Sources/videos/2026-05-04-royal-tier-list-7.1d|Royal, 7.1d tier list]] (05:31-05:38) Why he's GOD in 7.1d: Two stacked factors per Royal: Damage ceiling — "way too much damage" in skilled hands. Safety floor — "way too safe" (E flash) means he can't be punished even when behind. No 7.1d direct change to Ezreal — his GOD placement is sustained from prior patches; meta around him hasn't introduced strong counters.

(57:47) "Uh, very, very powerful. Even during the early game, even when you're stacking up manammune, you can still do a lot of damage with Ezreal. As you keep stacking up your passive, if you keep landing your abilities and you stack up conqueror, you'll be surprised how much damage Ezreal does during the early game. And if you keep getting poked down by Ezreal time and time again, you're going to lose laning phase very, very quickly. And by that sense, you're going to pretty much lose the game because as soon as Ezreal gets manimmune upgraded into moral mana, the damage becomes absolutely absurd." (58:01)

I'm not going to go le I'm not going to go empowerment because empowerment is super hard to proc. Uh another I guess example of a champ that can go empowerment even though he usually goes conqueror is Ezreal, right? Because his first ability works with it." (26:08)
