No one is doubting how much damage Aphelios can output, but many teams are finally starting to see the weaknesses surrounding the champion. Aphelios can wreak havoc on an enemy team at any given moment, but playing around his damage, and killing him when he has the wrong guns out given the situation seems to be the way to win against

Other heroes have seen reductions in the movement speed of their base kit or of certain abilities, which is in line with the changes made the movement speed items listed above. Batrider’s Firefly speed bonus, Bloodseeker’s Thirst, Broothmother’s Spin Web, and Death Prophet are all heroes or abilities that have seen such movement speed reducti

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

There’s a massive list of things you can spend money on in League of Legends , but none of it affects your in-game stats or performance. There are tons of character skins, experience boosts, and emotes, but otherwise nearly everything related to gameplay is obtainable through in-game curre

Since Pokémon Unite won’t contain as much in the way of custom movesets as a typical Pokémon team, having this sort of consistent way to customize stats and give additional abilities adds tons of depth to each character. Trees can’t be too large or daunting for new players, but this feature offers far more tools to play w

Though not great as a solo-carry champion like Darius, Yuumi may be the right champion for you if you have a dedicated ranked duo team or bottom lane pair. Her synergy with specific team comps is what earns her a ~29% ban r

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

Mad Lions’ innovation in their drafts and their well balanced team fights have made them one of the premier organizations in Europe, and a model franchise that teams around the globe (mainly North America) should look up

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 mechanics are natural in the MOBA genre, but making sure everything is legible, especially for smaller mobile devices, is vi

Week 3 saw the battle for first place as well as the battle of G2 and Fnatic happen, but get this: they were different games. Mad Lions currently lead the way in the LEC with a 6-1 record through three weeks. Rouge are one game behind them while four teams are tied for the third place spot behind Ro

CS:GO is the latest installment of the Counter-Strike franchise, and also the most developed. It is one of the most competitive FPS games in the esports scene and one of the most widely played games ever. This tactical shooter pits terrorists against counter-terrorists in various game mo

Killstreaks no longer award 30-> 100 but instead 20->90. Along with the gold nerf of 7.26, this should further work to slow down early game level differences between teams following a few unfavorable scraps and will place more emphasis on the mid and endgame. Valve is also literally slowing down movement for some characters by moving away from percentage-based movement speed bonuses to flat number increases. For example, Boots of Speed, Power Treads, and Arcane Boots used to all say +15%, and now instead say

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

Given its origins as a Warcraft 3 mod known as Defense of the Ancients , players might not be surprised at the game’s similar vibe and mechanics to the hit Blizzard RTS. But like League of Legends , the focus is a select group of ‘Heroes’ — each equipped with distinct powers and playstyles — rather than a whole army or fortress to build

That said, a Pokémon MOBA Game heroes isn’t inherently a bad idea for a game, as League of Legends has proved throughout the decade how polished and robust this genre can be. It’s likely these games are going to be fairly similar, and while there are traits Pokémon Unite can learn from League of Legends , some qualities it could do with

League now has more than 150 champions, all of whom come with their own skins. Every champion receives at least one Epic skin, but some champions are given one or two Legendary skins, and a very select few receive an Ultimate skin which is valued at over $30. As of now, there are only five Ultimate skins in the game, and they are defined by their advanced visual and sound effects, and of the more than 140 champions that remain, there are several who definitely deserve their own pricey s
