This week, Riot's job listing page listed several openings that directly reference the upcoming MMORPG for the first time. "No, you’re not dreaming, we’re working on an MMORPG based in the League universe," the listing states. "We know MMOs take a lot of people to create, and we’ll need a pretty big raid team if we want to bring Runeterra to life." Riot is currently hiring gameplay engineers, game designers, UX designers, artists, and producers. League of Legends: Wild Rift, the mobile legends jungle version of the classic MOBA, launches in beta tomorrow, March
They constantly talk about moves that are off of cooldown, missing enemy heroes, and where to place the next set of wards. It can be hard since not every gamer will be on a mic, but at least individual players should cover their own bases and talk about tactical maneuvers during the game sess
Tomorrow, Wild Rift will open its doors to the masses on both Android and iOS. In our preview of Wild Rift, we found it to be a compact, yet robust, version of League of Legends that may even be preferable to the original version. So, what does Wild Rift launch with tomorrow, and what does the future h
Dota 2 is one of the world's most popular esports with its annual world championship, The International, drawing millions of viewers and the biggest prize pool of any esport event. Over the years though, the number of new players in Dota 2 has stagnated due to its steep learning curve, poor matchmaking system, and the lack of an in-depth tutor
Of course, Strength-type DPS heroes also exist and Rizzrack or Timbersaw has proven that such a combination can strike fear into the hearts of the enemy. A competent Timbersaw player can bag some Double or Triple Kills quite easily if they're lucky eno
At certain intervals, four bounty runes will spawn, two on each side. Those who aren't ready will find that their rune has been taken by the enemy. Also, don't forget to check on the runes in the river which give a buff that often yields a free hero kill when ganking with
In addition to having an impressive area skill that locks in enemies and continuously damages them, Mars can double as a tank especially with Bulwark. Meanwhile, God's Rebuke and his Spear can make quick work of stragglers or even melee gank
With The International 2020 being cancelled as well as the future of the tournament left uncertain, Valve decided to work with Netflix to create a new animated show titled Dota: Dragon's Blood to hopefully attract new players to Dota 2. Together with the show, Valve also decided to release a massive update for Dota 2 that overhauled the new player experience. Introducing a number of diverse tools and resources, Valve hopes that new players are provided gradual learning opportunities instead of a single dump of complex informat
Yes, players can choose to queue up for a specific role. But even then, not all support heroes fit in well with their team or counter the opposing team the same way. It's important to diversify selections that are in the comfort z
Long-time fans know that the mounts of both Luna and Mirana are feared warriors themselves. Sadly, Nova – who is Luna's mount – only appears for a few frames during the trailer. But fans get to see Sagan in action as it tackles a flying dragon to save Mir
The length of games is parred down, too. In our conversations with Riot, they tell us that even some users on PC are looking for shorter League of Legends matches. On mobile, the company wants to provide 15-20 minute experiences that still preserve the strategy and depth of a typical game. That means the map is a little smaller and tower health has been appropriately sca

It's important to prioritize these heroes and give them everything they need early. Let them kill creeps when no enemy is in the lane. Stay out of their experience range so they get the full amount and don't have to split it. Every egg should be in the carry's basket if victory is the g
These new changes represent an exciting step forward for competitive games in general. While the competitive nature of the eSports scenes are what draw people towards these games, they are often inaccessible for newcomers. With Valve taking a big step forward in addressing these concerns, this hopefully means that its other games like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive will follow suit . Its stance on smurfing should also serve as an example for other competitive games as well. Games like League of Legends and Overwatch have had smurfing problems for years but since their developers rarely crack down on it, they turn off many potential newcomers. As Valve continues to improve its matchmaking systems, other games should take note of how Dota 2 has begun catering to a new audie
