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
Like Lee Sin or Nidalee, Zed can take some time to master. As such, his percentage ban rate gets higher in the higher tiers like Platinum, Diamond, etc. As with previous champions on this list, players who want to climb the ranks could consider him for a solo-carry champ
In a shocking turn of events, many players – both casual and professional – have started taking characters like Graves to the jungle. With his dash, AOE damage, and serious kite and camp clearing abilities, Graves is a powerful answer to your average tanky jungler or even damage-focused champions like Rengar or Nida
Another item from the wild balancing days of season 3 & 4 is the Sword of the Divine . Giving the user 45% attack speed, one of the highest base attack speed stats on an item. Along with the stat, its active would grant the users next 3 auto’s to be 100% attack speed and Crit. The active gives reliable burst windows every 60 seconds, and champion kills refund half of its cooldown. Marksmen and assassin champions can kill a squishy opponent in a matter of seconds with this i
However, the community remained adamant in their love for Nexus Blitz which resulted in Riot finally bringing it back, with a few changes, until the end of Spirit Blossom 2020. For first time Nexus players or returning veterans, there are several things to keep in mind during a chaotic Nexus Blitz ma
Blitzcrank is far from an unusual ban target, and there are certainly tons of strategies against him as he’s been in the Bethesda card game closure since the very beginning. But just because something’s old doesn’t mean it can’t still work, and Blitzcrank is far from being sent to the scrapyard anytime s
2013 saw the release of Yasuo, a champion who is despised by many players because many of the people who play him are known for being toxic during ranked games . All this animosity has not stopped Yasuo from getting skins though, as Riot tends to release at least one every year, and they do this because all of his skins sell w
Another recent removal from Season 9 is the Spear of Shojin . Its original concept was much different before it removing the item and giving the item a full rework. Most players remember the item by its second redesign, and the reason it was quickly taken out. After casting your ultimate, your first auto would cause your autos for six seconds to lower your basic abilities cooldown by 20% per auto-attack. Stacking attack speed with this allows champions to spam their other abilities making them a rolling death machine. It is no longer in the game; for this reason, interacting with champion abilities, this much has little counterplay. However, items like this one can be found now only in Nexus Blitz m
_League of Legends _ is receiving its second moody samurai with the release of the game’s newest champion, Yone (yo-nay). Brother to Yasuo, the premier swordsman of Summoner’s Rift, Yone brings an alternative, though not dissimilar playstyle to players looking to spend their time mastering the bl
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
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
What makes this so broken was that the passive could stack with multiple Black Cleaver’s , allowing about 150% armor shredding. With this, champions abilities that hit multiple times rapidly can destroy someone’s armor to the point they are doing true dam
Players will recognize both components of Yone’s passive, as they can be seen in practice with Sett and Yasuo. Sett shares the capability to deal increased damage on every second hit of his auto attacks, and Yasuo also has doubled crit-chance. This should make Yone’s hybrid passive feel very familiar to players who have frequented both of his predecess
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
