Nonetheless, this meme exists to showcase the brighter sides of it. It’s fairly unclear whether the humble warrior is giving the lane to this smurf, or if they’re grateful to be playing it despite the smurf player asking, but either way, it’s refreshing to see a positive exchange with someone making such bold claims about their skill le

This top lane-loving crocodilian out of Egyptian myth is a water creature by nature. So when Riot Games debuted his Pool Party skin, fans were naturally ecstatic. But no one knew just how iconic the lifeguard skin would prove to

One of the greatest traits of the mid lane is the diversity of champions it allows you to play with and against. There are some aggressive physical fighters, many ranged spellcasters, a few atypical tanks, and even some health-centric mages like Vladimir with the unique power to drain the health from his oppone

This can be a great way to deal some serious damage in an ambush or even to snipe players entirely across the map if done right. It's incredibly impressive, but one of its best properties is how it can be recalled. Players can simply wait for the axe to come back, but if they press R a second time, it comes back instan

When it comes to improving your skill at League of Legends , it can be tough to utilize most advice players tend to give. Many higher-level players will give extremely detailed and confusing suggestions if you aren’t experienced, and others will give extremely timid words like "be caref

The champions of the mid lane aren’t only diverse in mechanics, but also quite diverse in terms of appearance. Besides the humanoid characters, several monsters like the gargoyle Galio and the immense Cho'Gath are much more reminiscent of the intimidating monsters of the jungle than other champi

Although SKT T1 had beaten Royal Club in the 2013 Worlds finals, the renamed Star Horn Royal Club and their marksman, Uzi, were back with a vengeance. Star Horn Royal Club and their refreshed roster decimated NaJin White Shield in the quarter-finals before beating OMG in the semi-finals. This meant taking them to consecutive Worlds fin

A quick Google search brings up several platforms for esports coaching. Among the most notable is Gamer Sensei , which gaming hardware company Corsair purchased late last year. Still, with its sleek, black design and easy-to-navigate interface, it’s no surprise that Metafy has captured the attention of people such as Naval Ravikant (co-founder and former CEO of AngelList ), Matt Cooper (CEO of Skillshare ), who helped fund a $3 million seed investment round in Janu

Nearly every League of Legends beginner guide of Legends player is familiar with the central mid lane of Summoner’s Rift, an area usually designated for sorcerers and speedy assassins. This area is extremely fast-paced, with minions coming quicker than any other lane and with some of the highest-damage champions crowding aro

After all, the skin saw almost a total rework of Veigar's animations, particle effects, and emotes. He has that Power Glove, this adorable launch trailer from 2014, and tons of classic video game references. He also references an obscure moment in Shakespeare's Hamlet for some rea

For one in-game fight in particular, I recalled that I’d felt a sense of panic in terms of not knowing what I should have done when squeezed between two squads. After reviewing the footage with me, he explained that this was a case where having dropped back to get cover hurt me when I could have taken the fight head-on with my teammate. He also suggested that I’d also used the wrong type of grenade — a thermite grenade — as a frag grenade would have been much better to achieve my goal of forcing the team to have to reposit

Further, it feels good knowing my money is going directly to the coach, allowing them to continue doing what they love. While revenue from tournaments, streaming, and YouTube can help, most players won’t be able to live off of those sources of income alone. Coaching provides them another opportunity to gain income for their years of hard w

Veigar is a simple champion; you just keep building AP and press R to obliterate your mid-lane competition . But great power comes at a great cost to the tune of 1820 RP for this 8-bit inspired skin. Many fans felt (and still feel) that it's one of the coolest skins in the g

SKT T1 finished the Summer Split in third place and still managed to qualify for Worlds due to their Spring performance. After overcoming their rivals, the Rox Tigers, in the semi-finals, SKT T1 went on to defeat Samsung Galaxy, securing their second consecutive World Championship title and third franchise ti

This one just has so much panache and detail work to it. And no one can deny the romantic idea behind a cowboy samurai. His animations are also just really smooth; plus, his sword becomes a gun. Know what's cooler than a sword? A gun-sword. At least, that's what Squall Leonhart would have people beli
