Once again, if we view the overall theme of 7.26 as an effort by Valve to slow down gameplay, many of the changes to heroes make perfect sense. For starters, Alchemist has seen Greedevil’s Greed cap reduced from 20/24/28/32 to 18/22/26/30, and the base gold bonus reduced from 4 to 3. This means that Alchemist is far less effective at farming in the new patch, but still in line with most other heroes of the same t

If players need more tokens to purchase items, they can buy the Spirit Blossom Pass for 1650 RP. Purchasing the pass will automatically add 4 Kanmei Orbs and 200 Spirit Blossom Tokens. However they also get 25 tokens for each Spirit Bond rank for a total of 1000 extra Spirit Blossom Tokens. Finally, the pass also unlocks Milestone rewards and tokens for every match played during the ev

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

This means that certain heroes who have a high base movement speed such as Keeper of the Light will benefit less from the use of these items compared to before because they are receiving a bonus that disregards their inherently high base speed. On the opposite end of things, heroes that are inherently slower in their base speed like Medusa will benefit slightly by becoming faster than when using percentage-based bonus items for movement speed. Players who do not pay attention to this change will certainly be in for a rude awakening as they slightly overextend with a hero that was slightly faster only last w

In addition, Supernova scepter upgrade no longer allows Phoenix to cast Sun Ray, whereas the level 20 Talent has changed from a +1.25 second Supernova Stun Duration to Sun Ray During Supernova. While no one enjoys seeing their favorite character nerfed, and there are many fans of Phoenix, these changes were necessary and simply take the hero from overpowered to within a far more acceptable range of po

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

Demacian Justice: This is a single target ability that when activated, will cause Garen to jump high into the air and slam down on a single opponent, dealing true damage in combination with a percentage of the target's missing health. This move is best used as a finisher because it has a long cooldown and relies on the target only having 10-25% of their max hea

However, there's a fun layer of story to the Fighting Game Roster's world that the average player might not know. Hidden within the cards of Legends of Runtterra, players can often find stories that are linked through the games card art and flavor t

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

Updated on July 10, 2023, by Stephen LaGioia: As both segments of gaming have rapidly risen in popularity lately, it's no surprise that various free-to-play Battle Royale titles have hit the gaming scene. Still, there are plenty of free gaming experiences that don't demand one-and-done showdowns against a massive pool of online combatants. With many notable ones released recently (and at least one changing its payment model), it seemed time to revisit this list highlighting more of the best free non-BR games. It should be noted that while there may be a bit of overlap, and a few titles featured do (or have had) BR options — yet the core experience is non

When you can afford it, build your Phage into a Black Cleaver. This will be Garen's ideal first essential item because of the extra health and cooldown reduction it provides. For your selection of proper boots, go with either Mercury's Treads or the Ninja Tabi. If the enemy team has a lot of crowd control abilities that can slow Garen down, the Tenacity from both Mercury's Treads and Courage will greatly lessen those effects. If the enemy team relies on dealing damage with basic attacks, go with the Ninja Tabi to block an additional 12% damage. You can also build the Kindlegem into a Spirit Visage which will really beef up Garen and also increase his overall healing. Next, consider purchasing a Dead Man's Plate to have Garen tank up considerably. With Dead Man's Plate, Garen can gain movement speed and attack damage just by moving around and avoiding crowd controlling effects, which is easy to do thanks to Courage and Mercury Tre
