Season 11 has been in swing for long enough that many players have adjusted to the new shop. However, the best items remain a mystery for some players. Using stats and data from the game at Patch 11.4, here is a collection of powerful item abilit


This item was meant as a support tool but was partially removed because nearly every tank champion in any role could get an absurd amount of money from it. It even used to build into popular tank items like the Locket of the Iron Solari and Randuin's Omen, making it a must-have for nearly any l


Because of his legendary skills, people used to say that the MiG on his tag didn't stand for the name of the team (Maximum Impact Game) but for Madlife is God. Unlike many esports athletes, he prefers to be called by his full name, Hong Min-gi, instead of by MadL


Samsung Galaxy's finals set against SKT T1 in 2017 was simply amazing. SKT T1 was going for a three-peat and their fourth Worlds title, trying to take home their second consecutive title after an incredible run in 2016. The roster of Huni, Peanut/Blank, Faker, Bang, and Wolf faced off against CuVee, Ambition/Haru, Crown, Ruler, and Cor


Bjergsen is also known for being the first European player to become a start in North America. He scored the first pentakill ever in the EU LCS with his Syndra -- a champion he used to pick since before she was even seen as meta. His champion pool is as deep as the Marianas Trench and he put the entire team on his back many a t

An amazing AD Carry player, often due to his outstanding mechanical skills, Jian "Uzi" Zi-Hao has one of the longest careers in league of legends ranked Guide of Legends. Uzi played the game for 8 years and only stopped due to wrist injuries. The official announcement of his retirement was made last y


Their passive abilities, however, is where much of their power is loaded. Both increase their respective defensive stat with minion kills. Seeker's requires a bit more scaling, but the value is fairly equal. Most mages already will build Seeker's against an AD midlaner, but Verdant Barrier needs to be considered against AP-reliant compositions. For example, a Lillia/Syndra midlane combo would be ideal to build Verdant Barrier against. While not exciting items, defensive power is a great way to guarantee a player can scale into later stages of the g


In 2011, before there were Korean servers or multi-million dollar prize pools, Riot Games hosted the Season 1 World Championship during Dreamhack Summer in Sweden for a relatively small audience. The tournament finals pitted the European powerhouses Fnatic against aAa (against All authori


Braum dashes to the target ally, positioning himself between them and the closest enemy champion, gaining bonus armor and bonus magic resistance for 3 seconds. If his target is a champion, they also receive the same bonuses.

The obvious way to implement this ability is for raising defense in tough fights or to set up for quick retreats. However, it's important to realize this ability isn't always about defense — it can help offensively as well. This ability can help Braum suddenly be in the thick of battle while buffing teammates for some serious ambush potent


Zeke's Herald is a supportive tank item that simply never found a home as it granted additional Attack Damage and Life Steal to nearby allies. In theory, this seems like a great buff for aggressive physical teams, and its health and cooldown reduction bonus made it great for supportive melee champions like Jarvan


They managed to fix whatever issues they had going into the quarterfinals because, from that point on, they were winning. Anchored by Mid Laner Doinb and his counter-meta picks, the team defeated G2 in the finals with a 3 - 0 sweep. This meant that Chinese teams took home consecutive championships. FunPlus Pheonix took out historic franchises on their rise to the top,


With the recent item overhaul, it's easy to forget that many champions have also gotten serious changes due to their passives being related to their build. Viktor is perhaps the biggest recent example with his upgradable Hex Core item now being removed entirely for an ability upgrade system based around killing minio


The support role has easily seen the most significant changes in terms of item selections, but there are a few that affect nearly every mage class equally. The prime example of this is the Mana Manipulator, an inexpensive advanced item using two Fairy Charms to generate more mana regenerat


Just as a bad player can be frustrating, though, it’s important to remember to always be polite and not let it ruin your day. Thanks to the game’s free-to-play nature, anyone is welcome to try, and being skilled at the game is hardly a requirement for someone to enjoy
