Riot Games recently released Valorant- a tactical FPS that rivals Overwatch in gameplay. No matter how well Valorant does, Riot will always be known as the developer who brought League of Legends to life in 2009, and the popular MOBA has since become one of the most played games in the wo

Xerath is also a ranged mage who has four skill shots, and based on the quality of the effects of his Guardian of the Sands and Darkstar skins, he is a perfect candidate for another Elementalist skin, or at the very least a similar skin that requires him to actually land his abilit

Getting banned between 15% and 28% of the time, Leona certainly stands out from the previous two by being all about the stuns. She might not be able to kill champions herself, but with an explosive stunning ultimate with a long-range, she can be a menace in team fig

Battle Sled and Catapult of Champions offer your team insane mobility and initiation for the duration of the game. Both rewards allow Champions to quickly go to nearly any spot on the map and deal damage there. The Battle Sled allows players to jump in and then ride until they crash into an opponent or turret. It will then deal damage and all players inside the sled are brought out to fight. The Catapult of Champions is similar, but only one Champion can use it at a time and when that Champion lands, they will deal damage in an AOE and push away nearby enemies. Both rewards are great for initiating fights and disrupting the enemy posit

This isn’t always the case, unfortunately, as this meme showcases the severe need some players have to crowd the lonely top laner when they’re happily working a lane on their own. League of Legends is a team-based game, but sometimes it’s okay to leave your teammates al

League has several champions who can be considered mascots, and Teemo is definitely one of them. Teemo is special because people love to play him, but they also hate playing against him, and it has to do with the fact that he poisons and blinds opponents, but he also places poisonous mushrooms throughout the map that turn invisible and explode on cont

In this case, though, a meme can highlights how it can also be used to get anywhere quickly, and many champions have enough Life Steal or Health Regeneration to take down an entire Dragon. They don’t do this to explicitly embarrass their jungler, of course, but successful top laners likely consider this a fun bene

Shyvana has been a part of the game since 2011, which is why she is next up for a full champion rework. Her most defining feature is the fact that she transforms into a dragon every time she casts her ultimate, and Riot can do a lot with that ability skin w

_Updated by Juliet Childers on September 8th, 2020: Regularly banned champions run the gamut from support NASB 2 characters to top lane bruisers and jungling ninjas. Even pro players insta-ban or insta-pick some of these champion

The key to winning Nexus Blitz is to focus on winning the events as they happen and then using the benefits to push the objectives in-between events. The mini-game events are team-based, except for in the Prize Fight event where 1v1 battles take place, so work together with your team to succeed. Veteran players will be glad to see old mini-games returning such as King of the Hill, where the two teams vie for control over a small designated zone on the map and Push the Cart, an event where teams must escort a cart to a structure by standing near it. Some of the less self-explanatory events include Bardle Royal, URF Deathmatch, Loot Teemo, Loot Veigar, Scuttle Racing, Protect the Soraka, and DPS Ch

The Banner of Command has one, if not the longest line of changes in LoL history. One point in the items life it could buff a minion, granting it extra stats. Buffing a any minion increases is damage by 100%, armor and magic resist, attack range, and health. It also gives the gold for its kills to the caster. At one point, this buff made the minion immune to magic damage but changes it to damage reduction in future patches. This item has massive sieging power and combining with ZZ'Rot Portal ; it gives so much power and survivability to split push

It is because of this transformation that Gnar would be a prime candidate for an Ultimate Skin, because if they give him a real dinosaur/prehistoric themed skin, he can swap between animals in a way that makes his ult truly uni

He can still get quite tanky while dealing damage and is great at counter jungling as well. For many teams, Volibear will serve as the only tank while bottom lane picks up a "support" Karma or Pyke and top lane picks up a damage-heavy Wukong or Cami

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
