A champion’s ultimate ability tends to be their most iconic in League of Legends , and Ezreal is no exception—his “Trueshot Barrage” fires a massive energy wave in a line that completely travels across the game’s
It’s impossible to talk about either of these games without mentioning the competitive scene surrounding them. Both titles have highlighted some of the biggest events in gaming history. Few are bigger than The International — the annual world championship for Dota 2 with increasingly obscene amounts of money on the l
Those feelings are undoubtedly what makes this movie poster recreation both remarkably ridiculous and disappointingly true. One loss is far from the end of the world, but dealing with a player who ruins your game is easily one of the most relatable feelings throughout the g
Dota started the MOBA genre and trend for a good reason and that’s because its map was incredibly straightforward to understand. Stairs made for clear pathways, the foliage was all extremely large and explicit, and there were few obstacles that would make it hard to see what’s going on on your scr
Perhaps the greatest advantage of League of Legend’s map is from an update just a few short years ago. The dragon objective near the bottom lane of the map could shift between four elements. Each of these would give different random buffs to add more variance to each match. But even cooler was the shift to the environment based on the second dragon sl
In 2009, League of Legends made a huge step into the world of MOBAs and, despite its new look and style, it quickly became one of the largest games of all-time. From the world of Esports to the casual scene, this game put Riot Games in the spotlight as they maintain this spectacular fantasy battleground and venture into new territory with Legends of Runeterra, Valorant Points price increase , and even League of Legends: Wild Ri
As mentioned earlier, support players have absolutely seen the most significant changes to their items as builds have changed drastically over nearly every other season. Wards were a huge case for this as the Trinkets replaced many systems of buying individual wards and dedicated items to supply the team with vis
Just as emotes or typing “/dance” may be used within the game to interact with players, champions also possess numerous lines of dialogue that are used as “taunts.” Ezreal’s is particularly iconic as he says, “you belong in a museum.” This jibe may seem innocuous, but when repeatedly spammed it produces a far more antagonistic eff
This hilarious meme paints quite an unfortunate picture: just when you’ve finally tracked down and defeated Teemo, you go to flee the scene and step on a Noxious Trap. It promptly explodes and deals enough damage to finish off both you and your teamm
Teemo then gets a Double Kill, as it was his ability that dealt the final blow. What began as a 2-V-1 to get rid of Teemo, then, ended up benefiting the enemy team with an extra kill. This situation can happen far too often when facing off against Teemo and his horde of poisonous mushro
The strength of Plated Steelcaps is easy to see. The item’s unique passive reduces incoming damage from all basic attacks by 12%, excluding turret attacks. This also includes damage dealt by basic attack modifiers and abilities that act like a basic attack, even magic ones. The strength of this item is obvious; every champion uses auto-attacks in some form. While the item scales better with more armor, against hyper-carries and AD teams the item is too good to pass
One of the clearest examples of this is the Stopwatch, an item that’s most known in the mid lane for evolving into powerful items like Zhonya’s Hourglass with an activated ability to freeze the champion from damage briefly. This effect is powerful against many, but as this Reddit meme shows, some like Zed are more fearful of it than oth
In the early season, Sunfire Aegis was by far the best tank mythic item. After several nerfs, the three tank items have become much closer in balance. Balanced stats means the items are evaluated based on their active abilities less than the raw numbers. For Turbo Chemtank, that active makes the i
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
Without a strategy, an offensive playstyle can lead to feeding the enemy team (as this meme from Instagram’s leagueofnicolai makes clear). There’s a lot of hype around Teemo, as a champion that can barely be countered. As a result, new players often flock to him for an easy win, but, as most find out the hard way, there are plenty of champions that can do some serious damage to Teemo if allowed close eno
