Reviving Mathematically Correct Sett

This one’s a bit of a callback. I kind of miss Goredrinker, but honestly the game is better now that it’s gone. I had lots of fun collecting clips for this video, despite everyone’s insistence that they move out of my W. Don’t expect another video within this kind of time frame, I am exhausted.

THE BUILD:

Heartsteel - Boots of Swiftness - Titanic Hydra - Overlord’s Bloodmail - Sterak’s Gage - Spear of Shojin
Grasp - Shield Bash - Second Wind - Overgrowth
Nimbus Cloak - Gathering Storm
Double Adaptive Force - Scaling Health

CHAPTERS:

0:00 - Mid Season Shenanigans
0:36 - Big Boss Sett
1:31 - One Punch Mama’s Boy
2:30 - Haymaker and Heartsteel
3:44 - Mathematical Itemisation
6:20 - The Rune Page
7:52 - A Viable Build For Once

Remember to ban Ahri!

EDIT: Subtitles done.

When I saw you whip out the three dimensional graph, that's when I knew it was mathematically correct to give this video a like

[EnjenirHH]

This is a great build for when you don't want to deal damage the first 30 minutes of the game

[zudi]

Definitely giving this one a try, thanks for the in-depth build guide!

[abellamuerte]

Bro, this is so fucking underrated. Holy shit the editing is like fucking 12/10. Good shit man!

[meto]

That's a mathematically correct video.

Nice video! As someone playing Sett myself, I have a few suggestions/comments:

1. Taking Shojin's 12% dmg increase for granted is a big mistake, imo. Q does not proc the +3% increase, so realistically in a fight you will get 1 stack from E and 1 stack from R. So a 6% increase is more realistic to use in the calculations.

2. Obviously, for maximal scaling you should go heartsteel first, but as Heartsteels scaling HP gain scales with Item HP, not max HP, buying it later is not a big hit to it's HP growth. I would strongly recommend buying it 2nd or 3rd instead, as Sett really only becomes a champ after he buys som AD.

3. It should be mentioned that Stridebreaker is still a great option, even for mathematically correct Sett. In terms of W dmgs it has same AD and only 100 less hp than Titanic, and it's active actually helps you hit your W.

4. One last item-consideration is Warmog's armor. It would be interesting to see, how big of a damage loss Warmogs is compared to another AD item in the build. Warmog's passive is perfect for Mathematically Correct Sett's playstyle: You go in, W when low, retrat and heal, and come back to fight again.

Considering this, my suggested Mathematically Correct Sett (with some compromises) would be:
Stridebreaker -> Overlord's Bloodmail -> Heartsteel -> Steraks -> Shojin/Warmogs.

EDIT: Correction: I just checked, and Shojin's damage increase also applies to the spell that gave the stack. So R -> E -> W would give a 9% increase on W damage (but still not 12%).

I liked the video, informative, well made. Just to clarify, if someone asks why dont you just go this over the meta build? Its pretty simple. Sett is slow asf, he cannot catch anybody, that is why you go stride and hullbreaker. And hullbreaker works well with your passive and q aa reset, and stride just gives slow and a lot of ms.

8:21 Finally, someone understands why i play Sett

[Ptoyoo]

didn't even realize you still uploaded. The algorithm wasn't doing you any favors this time around. Great video though, hope this gets seen!

[OtherHarmony]

when i clicked on the video i did not expect such high quality and math inside. you definetely need more subs!

[jazzgeary]

"We don't need the armour shread from black cleaver cause we'll be dealing mostly true damage" Yeah that is pretty common now a days

[Seibuzza]

"i guarantee you might do well" 😂

As somebody who is still somewhat new to league, I really appreciate in-depth videos about build and characters. A lot of stuff in this video is flying over my head but I'm happy I'll have something that I can try to study to go from playing Sett for the first time to- learning how to continuously optimize a build for him :D

[Heeelail]

This is by far the best educational video about league that I've ever watched!
Unreal how detailed the guide is but simple to understand.

[chcerobicrzeczy]

cosmic insight was overlooked in my opinion. rune giving you cd reduction on items makes your heartsteel proc more often what make your health growth from this item snowball way faster

beside that amazing video

[cristianoriga]

Bro.... This video is unrivaled when it comes to presentation of data. Extremely well done. Absolutely loves it!

[saiftaher]

Well done sir, your analysis is mathematically sound & rigorous 👍

[GoJawn]

Thank goodness, I am blessed to have this in my recommended videos to watch.
May the algorithm bless you.

Real nice vid! The only thing missing as a cherry on top was a little oneshot montage with music.
