That's how I feel when they use Sett as a shooter, haha.

I know you both have your favorite pairings, but I like Sett x Sona, even though they're not very well-known.

I saw this pairing on Pinterest and thought it was cute, although I couldn't find who created it; it was a repost.

as the title says, i love the new sett skin but I think the w could be better. when he takes a lot of damage and goes "sayan" mode (he rips off his shirt and has yellow hair) the moment you press w it disappears instantly, what i want to say is it would have been better if the effect lasted for a while, maybe until the shield expired or 2/3 seconds, because you can't even notice it that it's already gone

I might get strung up and killed for this.

I'm going to make suggestions I think would go a long way to improving Sett to make him more viable across the board. These aren't full on kit changes, just enough that it might be viable for Riot to do it.

5 more native MS. I would say 10 but at that point it would be better to change the Q, and I want to avoid that as much as possible.

AD adjustment: 62-150 from 60-138

MR: 30-70 from 28-68

AR: 35-135 from 33-125

Those four suggestions aren't much (I worry that the MS suggestion is a bit far reaching), but I think they would do well. He isn't turned into a stat checker, and I didn't want to recommend kit changes for scaling adjustments or for his MS to be adjusted during his Q because it just seemed too invasive. I do think that he hasn't received any kind of patch recently that would make him better, and I wouldn't want him overtuned. He just currently falls short of characters like Mordekaiser and Darius, and when I see a Morde it feels almost like a waiting game. He would natively be better and reject every ability I could throw at him. His Ult makes Sett Ult useless, and he can shield through the W, and he gets an auto crit on his Q and he can pull or push with his E to redirect to further avoid W shots or to ensure that you die in his Ult. The changes suggested wouldn't fix problems like that, but I think it would be reasonable if patched in.

I will admit I'm aware these kinds of post are low quality, but I don't make posts in Reddits often and I figured if I would make a post anywhere it would be around a lot of people who love their mama's.

Do it, handle it alone

Hey fellow Sett mains!

I'm done with top lane and starting a new journey in the jungle!

What would you recommend as the best Sett jungle build?

Right now, I'm building Stridebreaker → Spear of Shojin → Overlord's Bloodmail.

What do you guys think? Any better builds or tips for Sett jungle?

Too broke to get it hopefully ill find one way or another but at least im glad hes there even if i cant get it

Would appreciate some help with laning phase on sett

The next month I'm going to buy the official Riot Sett's figure and I'm gonna to order an acrilic standee, but so far I did a few DIY thingys and I'm so happy I luv my baby I'm also making a Cotton Doll, is my first time doing one but I'm so hyped I really love Sett even if I'm ass playing him xd

proof: https://op.gg/lol/summoners/na/Brown%20Flame-NA1

tl;dr:
#1) ghost/flash
#2) ask for engage supp for the best synergy.
#3) insanely fun! soak up damage, blast that E stun + W cannon and summersault that bih
#4) double positive as ADC -> scale damage + survive assassins
#5) GENUINELY GIVE IT A TRY ITS BUSTED (except against hyper carries)

Why Sett ADC?

Ranged ADCs are squishy and have little impact early game besides poke. Top lane has a million bad matchups for sett (gnar oof) but bot lane is freelo especially with an engage support. Sett actually has everything you need for a successful melee bot that doesn't die to the usual ADC threats:

• healing/tankiness: insane passive regen - survive poke easily
• damage: true damage (W) that can one shot and scales
• utility: insane utlity with E stun + teamfight engage (R)
• speed: builds swifties + Q speed boost and you catch up to EVERYBODY

Runes & Spells

• Spells: Flash + Ghost
• Primary: PTA
• Secondary: Second Wind + Unflinching (Helps with Supp CC's) + Slow Resistant Rune

Laning Phase (Levels 1–5)

• Levels 1–2: Soak XP, give up CS if needed. Do not get poked down for free. Let them push into you.
• Level 3 Spike: Bush control is key. When they step up: E (stun off minions/support) -> AA -> Q (reset).
• W Mechanics: NEVER press W early and try to wait for a stun if you can. Build full Grit ensures you can actually oneshot.
• R - Fuck em up! Does hella damage and amazing if there's an enemy tank that tries to engage

Core Build (usual from geishu)

1. Boots: Swifties - EVERYTIME
2. Core Items: Stridebreaker + Black Cleaver + Overlords

Edit: I should note this all comes from the perspective of one tricking sett in high elo (masters+) for a couple years

Over time riot keeps exclusively putting power in setts W, they have forced his power budget into a single ability to apeal to lower elos without actually addressing the issues that make him weak

Even when you look at mid Elo's sett's win rate consistently falls lower as you encounter better kiting and peel through the ranks, the game sett was designed around has shifted and become more mobile over time.

And this doesn't just effect good players, it's baked into the system. An example is with the addition of t3 boots on mid quest, sett has become unable to stick on even the more immobile mages. even with the Additional help of stride breaker, an item sett is forced to build every game.

Another thing is his build, his stream lined power budget leads to a lack of any build variety for the champ. Check every good players build and it' always the same 4 items.

stride breaker, black cleaver, overlords bloodmail and steraks.

Forcing his W to be only part of his kit worth building for, forces him to build the same combination of move speed, ad and hp every single game. He has very little breathing room to build the stronger figher items that the rest of the champions in his class get access too.

His forced into weak itemization to play for an ability that severely limits his versatility in fights.

His W in my opinion does too much damage, it's eating the power budget of sett as a champion. Causing him to have less mobility and damage on Q. Causing him to rely on his higher Cooldown abilities, especially his E.

Sett's E has become an ability exclusively used to land W damage, it's become less viable to use it for gap close or damage because his W is so important. the rest of his kits play style then becomes about how to best get value out of a single ability.

He doesn't get to have catch out in his Q or E because it would make his W too easy to hit. Removing power from W would allow Sett to have lower Cooldown E's as him getting to use 2 in a fight is less of an issue.

It could also allow Sett to have more mobility on Q. And let's compare sett Q to other bruisers like Garen or Volibear, both their Q abilities have more move speed, omni directional move speed and longer movespeed duration. Garen even gets a slow cleanse on his while already have tenacity on his W.

All this utility that lets the champions function in modern league that sett doesn't get access too.

Why does everyone get mad at me when I build Bork? Like I get that everyone loves to build W-centric sett builds, but his autos are decent. Bork helps with early game (especially against typical top picks) and mixes well with Cleaver.

My build is unconventional, though. I go Bork, cleaver, stride, heartsteel, warmogs, and jaksho. I know it's bad not to get boots, but I usually end up selling the boots for the extra armor late game. Maybe I only succeed because I'm low rank, but idk, I always seem to do better than Setts I go against because of how unoptimozed their build feels.

Also separate thing, but the standard build order is stupid. Stride first neuters damage output against tanks/bruisers, and only really works against squishies like teemo.

Semi rant over. Lmk if I'm crazy.

Bababhahahaha

It’s only been 3 times in a row but it’s so odd I’m questioning if it just hard counters Sett. Help me guys, I’m……Exhausted

I don't know what the reason is but for some reason I always lose top lane when I am playing against an off meta pick. Usually I win lane or atleast don't feed but when I am meeting off meta then I don't know what to do, it is like my brain doesn't work even though I am a otp Sett. Is it just a thing for me or is it so for everyone?

It’s not exactly a "wow" play, but it always cracks me up how there’s always an ADC who charges up your W.

I was wearing Pool Party Sett with the Emerald chroma and last i remembered that skin looked a bit different. I'm guessing its a Texture bug but i'm really curious what even causes this

I'd like to know about every way possible i can reach that SB Sett skin, Microsoft Rewards won't make it in time before it expires.

Had a few one shots in this one. I was 4 level down at one point to Cho' Gath but his dominance over me was his teams downfall.

Just today I saw a post from someone who got this same Sett skin, and I thought I’d have bad luck and wouldn't get it, so I'm grateful to Riot.

Why is this even possible. The dude flashed out of my ults suppression
