While the complexity of Spirit Blossom 2020 may be initially confusing, Spirit Bonds are just slightly renamed missions with a similar progression system. And there seems to be more to this Ionian festival and summer event than described so far, as several Spirit Blossom skins are releasing at a later date along with Yone, the presumed masked man from the teas

What makes this so broken was that the passive could stack with multiple Black Cleaver's , allowing about 150% armor shredding. With this, champions abilities that hit multiple times rapidly can destroy someone's armor to the point they are doing true dam

Pokémon Unite needs this to succeed as a MOBA. It doesn’t have to mimic League of Legend ’s role patterns exactly, since it’s clear most players don’t just want these games to be too identical, but giving players roles or lanes to focus is important for making sure it’s not a frustrating and disorganized battlefi

The most prominent is Doran’s Shield, a defensive starter item that’s been an outstanding part of early builds lately, even on certain ADC champions in the bottom lane. With some extra regeneration through abilities like Garen’s passive, it can make for an invincible champion at an unusually early point in the g

Older players got to experience this item's power and know why it was quickly removed. Before the start of season three, Madred's Bloodrazor continues to dominate the rift. A very high-cost item but allows each basic attack to deal 4% of the target's maximum health as bonus magic damage. Pairing with a 40% attack speed makes this item extremely powerful. Primarily built on champions with AD, it allows them to destroy tanks who stack armor resist because of the bonus magic damage. Along with the odd stats it has, it wasn't easy to play against and is why it makes the l

League of Legends had a major update in the past few years in terms of its Runes and Mastery Trees. Runes were originally a purchasable series of stat boosts that took ages to collect, but eventually, they were combined with the Mastery Trees to give unique abilities and stat boosts at no cost to the pla

Meanwhile, the top lane remains utterly relaxed, and while some players like to be more aggressive than others, it’s usually best for these roles to relax and take their time to get their items and abilities built up before engaging. If you’re looking for a quieter experience in Solo Queue , this lane can be an extremely relaxing place to

In season 4, Wriggle's Lantern receives an upgrade that is so powerful it only lasts about half of the season. Feral Flare is one of the only few items in the game's history with an infinite scaling stat. Champion kills, assists, and killing large monsters grant stacks. Stacks give increasing bonus magic damage to basic attacks and life steal. On top of increasing stats, it also increases the gold the user gains through monster kills and gives a free ward. Heavy auto-attack focused champions dominated with this item if they allowed to st

It’s no secret that Pokémon Unite is one of the least popular announcements in the history of the series. Its reveal has amassed tons of dislikes on YouTube over the game’s partnership with Tencent and the likelihood of microtransactions, but many fans were simply disappointed that the Pokémon Company announced this MOBA instead of a new mainline game, or even a new entry in the Pokémon Let’s Go ser

Force of Nature was an essential item for tanks, due to the amount of self-sustaining healing it gives. This item regenerates 1.5% of your max HP every second, which provides an insane regeneration on top of an additional 200% base regen it also gives. Building Force of Nature with items like Warmog's Armor and Spirit Visage makes tanks nearly unkillable without anti-healing items. Later, Force of Nature's passive transfers to Warmog's Armor , and then removed. These items brought about the first tank meta in League of Legen

League of Legends has always had this problem as well, with certain items and abilities having a confusing amount of detail while effects like Grievous Wounds aren’t always properly explained on every item. Complex Slime Meter mechanics are natural in the MOBA genre, but making sure everything is legible, especially for smaller mobile devices, is vi

Ahead of the 2020 Spring Split, Counter Logic Gaming acquired former world champion Lee "Crown" Min-ho. After a 1-7 start, Crown was benched for veteran Eugene "Pobelter" Park. "When [Pobelter] first joined, the team was kinda off the rails in a way," Stixxay said while laughing. "We forgot about a lot of the fundamentals and basics of the game cause we’d just been losing so mu

It can be intimidating for new players to see the list of characters in League of Legends, but thankfully not all of them are difficult to play. There are tons of simpler characters with clear, straightforward abilities like Veigar and Soraka, and Pokémon Unite could benefit greatly from having simple and approachable characters like them for new play
