If you are a long time League of Legends player, this top entry might come at little to no surprise. Deathfire Grasp is one of the most popular items that the league community would love to get back, just as much as they hate it. Giving 120 AP, 10 cooldown reduction, and an active that deals 15% of the targets max Hp in magic damage. Not only does its active deal a lot of damage, but the target would take 20% more magic damage from any other spell for 4 seconds afterwards. DFG makes burst mages pop champions even faster, and those who didn't now could. The item is so popular, in Pentakill's first album, Smite and Ignite, this item is the second track on the al
Ahead of the 2020 Spring Split, Counter Logic Gaming acquired former world champion Lee "Crown" Min-ho. After a 1-7 start, Crown was benched for veteran Eugene "Pobelter" Park. "When [Pobelter] first joined, the team was kinda off the rails in a way," Stixxay said while laughing. "We forgot about a lot of the fundamentals and basics of the game cause we’d just been losing so mu
Making sure these are priced properly, though, is something that took League quite a while to figure out. Many early skins are quite unexciting recolors, while newer ones typically have new particle effects and animations at similar prices. Pokémon Unite ’s microtransactions should certainly be around cosmetics at most, but their quality must be worth their pr
The week was full of significant matchups and exciting plays. While there's still a lot to discover about Europe's professional League of Legends teams, fans did learn a lot from the matches this past week. Here are five takeaways from Week 3 of the
Instead of traditional missions, 10 Spirit Bonds will be forged during Spirit Blossom 2020. To start, players need to click on each champion's picture to meet them and begin earning favor, the point system for different rewards. Make sure to talk to all the available portraits immediately since favor won't count for champions that haven't been spoken
Stixxay is aware of the negative sentiment surrounding his team, even if he's not in agreement with it. "I just don't think it's true," Stixxay said of the public's view. "I don’t think we’re a 10th place team, so last split was really disappointing for us. It just put a sour taste in everyone’s mouth... I think we had a really bad split and we worked a lot in the offseason to fix a lot of those thin
Jungler Zhiqiang "Shad0w" Zhao, who is often criticized for having a small champion pool, brought out Ivern this past week, the champion's first time in the LEC this split. Shad0w had a fantastic game going 2/0/7 in an important game against Ro
Most of the items on this list have been removed or changed massively. We will also only look at items when they were at their most powerful and not going through a life cycle of possible changes. Here are our top picks for some of the most impactful items in League of Legends hist
It wasn’t always so distinct, but League of Legends has had one consistent strategy in terms of where players go on the map. The bottom lane, top lane, middle lane, and jungle are all spots that the game actively sorts its characters into, helping players learn the game one task at a t
"I think something as simple as stretching and doing something that’s not waking up, sitting in your chair, and going straight into scrims is really helpful. It just helps your mindset a lot," added Stix
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
League of Legends continues to evolve throughout ten seasons since 2009. With each season comes massive changes to champions, items, and the way you play the game. Some of the items have had compelling moments in the past few ye
Pokémon Unite needs this to succeed as a MOBA. It doesn’t have to mimic League of Legend ’s role patterns exactly, since it’s clear most players don’t just want these mobile RPG games to be too identical, but giving players roles or lanes to focus is important for making sure it’s not a frustrating and disorganized battlefi
"I think our goal, luckily due to the bracket changes that Riot made last split, will be to make Worlds this Summer Split. I think we’re capable of it, I think we have a lot of experienced players that know what it takes to compete at a high lev
When you begin the game, the Relic Shield and Health Potion will suffice for the first couple minutes of the laning phase, but for your early game items you want to get Boots of Speed and a Kindlegem. For your upgraded set of boots, it is common to go with Boots of Mobility if you want to be aggressive in lane and get early kills, but Leona may benefit more from the resistances given by Mercury Treads. During the early game it would also be wise to invest in either a Chain Vest or Stopwatch as both will help Leona tank up and build into a Gargoyle Stoneplate. Stopwatch's unique active, Stasis, can be used when in the middle of a fight to dodge incoming attacks by making her unable to attack or be attacked for 2.5 seconds, but it can only be used o
