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

This is a frustrating champion to rework because, in theory, his kit is amazing. He has a silence, a knock-up, the capacity to get absolutely huge and unkillable, and he has the best skin in the MOBA Game Guide: Gentleman Cho’G

In an act of pure, unadulterated “teleports behind you,” Yone’s ultimate does precisely that. Yone dashes forward, damaging every enemy champion he hits and teleports behind the last target, then pulls all enemies hit towards him. This ultimate is a very simple ability that adds more damage and mobility to Yone’s kit. The ability is also able to jump over walls and can be used in a pinch to escape if nee

One of the common reasons players enjoy the top lane is the sense of individuality. Not only are you out of the way enough to not be worrying as much about junglers and other invaders, but you can often push your lane late in the game while the others scuffle by themsel

As usual, there is quite a bit to read in the 7.26a patch notes, and readers can click here for the full announcement. Best of luck to everyone and keep an eye out for players who may be overextending themselves with these new changes, as they likely have not read the notes and are ripe for a quick kill until they figure it

His capacity to outplay at higher ranks is severely limited as his kit necessitates repetition — especially in a meta where popular champions like Athelios, Sett, and Graves (to name a few) can be very malleable and situatio

DPS Check is a very basic game mode in which a practice dummy spawns on the map and both teams must simultaneously deal damage to the dummy. The team that does the most damage to the Teemo dummy wins. This game mode is tricky because both teams must worry about damaging the dummy while also damaging the other team. The key is to not waste low damage crowd control abilities on the dummy and instead use them to keep the enemy away. stunning or silencing the enemy for a few seconds while your ADC goes to town on the dummy is the quickest way to secure a victory in this event. Also, remember to use auto attacks on the dummy whenever you can since each hit cou

Yone’s most complex ability, though it is still relatively simple in practice. Yone splits his body into two, and players then control Yone’s Spirit Form. Players deal and receive damage normally, and any damage done while in Spirit Form will mark enemies. Once the ability ends, the player instantly blinks back to Yone’s body, and marked enemies will be dealt a portion of the damage they received from Yone’s Spirit Form. This ability allows players to stick to an enemy and finish off kills with little risk to them. While there is still the risk of dying while in Spirit Form, a player can push deep into enemy lines to secure a kill and still guarantee an escape back to where they began – just make sure Yone’s body is tucked away in a safe spot! This ability also looks fantastic with Yone’s Spirit Blossom skin , which he will receive on rele

Many League of Legends players will tell you that the top lane is one of the calmest roles you can get in the game. It’s not as fast-paced as the middle lane, it’s far less complicated than the jungle, and it’s not as crowded as the bottom lane. Nonetheless, it’s a complex role with a lot of diversity that takes time to mas

Overall, Yone’s extreme amount of mobility and damage makes for yet another character destined to terrorize the Rift with katana(s) in hand. It also seems as though Yone will be more suited for newer players to pick up , as all of his abilities can forgive mistakes much more readily than his brother Yasuo’s. On top of that, he’s bound to be extremely adept at farming CS like his brother, giving new players yet another reason to pick up and try out Yone. Interestingly enough, Yone’s kit synergizes very well with Yasuo’s, as Yone can use his two knock-ups to enable Yasuo’s ultimate. While it remains to be seen which lane Yone will inevitably call home, and how players will ultimately prefer to build him, it’s already abundantly clear that players will be seeing Yone around the Rift for a long time to c

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
