While initially underwhelming, recent patches have made Chemtech Putrifier a must-purchase on almost every enchanter in the game. It’s no secret that healing in League of Legends is reaching levels never-before-seen. Its counter, Grievous Wounds, requires players to make a fairly significant investment of an item slot to use. But what if there was a way that mages wouldn’t need to build Morellonomicon every single g
Most of the game is spent outside of team fights, which might come as a surprise to new players. Many competitive games focus solely on a good kill/death ratio, or pitch players against each other in fast-paced combat. Understanding that League of Legends is a blend of PvP and long-term strategy is key to avoiding simple mista
Health items had a massive amount of variety in the early days of League of Legends and even in the modern-day, there are all sorts of items with different effects to keep your bulky champions bulkier. For the greediest players, Leviathan did this alarmingly well for those who could get enough ki
That is until they faced Korea’s Samsung White which consisted of Looper, Dandy, PawN, imp, and Mata. In an utterly embarrassing stomp (and on some of their signature champion picks), Samsung White defeated Uzi and Star Horn Royal Club to cement Korea as the most dominant region in the wo
FunPlus Phoenix completely overhauled their roster going into the 2019 season by adding Doinb and Tian to the team. The new roster consisted of GimGoon, Tian, Doinb, LWX, and Crisp who absolutely dominated the LPL in their first year together as a team. Going into 2019 Worlds, FunPlus Pheonix had a relatively shaky group stage performance putting up a 4 – 2 rec
TPA qualified for 2012 Worlds by clean sweeping every single team in Taiwan during the Season 2 Regionals in Taipei. Coming into the 2012 World Championship they were viewed as the dark horse of the tournament with most analysts predicting lackluster results considering their prior show game loss to CLG
Vision wards are an incredible tool that beginners tend to avoid. They are relatively cheap to buy, easy to use, and give the player’s team a major advantage if used correctly. Vision wards serve best when hidden from view, in bushes, and in enemy territ
Over the past 10 years of League of Legends world championship events, legacies have been forged, champions have been dethroned, and relatively unknown teams have taken home the cup. This list will rank the 10 world championship rosters based on factors of dominance at the time, as well as the overall cultural impact on the competitive League of Legends scene.

Being able to completely shrug off a single powerful projectile-based ability can be the difference between a winning encounter and being crushed. Plus, putting Braum at the front of a fight can help to make tower pushes far easier in general if opponents are nearby with this abil

Beyond its large audience, the game is also one of the largest and deepest to play thanks to over a hundred champions and weekly updates that alter the game’s balance and mechanics.

Rengar has had a similar change to Viktor in recent years, but his item was taken away long before the Season 11 overhaul. Rengar was originally perceived as a hunter who could rack up kills. His Bonetooth Necklace could give him bonus stats based on how many champions he’s sl
It’s equally useful for when players need to retreat. Let’s be real, it’s impossible to win every fight, right? Majorly slowing enemy champions down so they can’t give chase is wonderful, and some will even simply run away instead of continuing to put the pressure
Following up Seeker’s Armguard is its upgrade, Zhonya’s Hourglass. Stopwatch is included here as well since every class of character can make use of the item. Stopwatch, on its own, gives absolutely no stats at a cost of 600 gold. The rune “Perfect Timing” also grants the player a free Stopwatch after a period of time. This item can be combined into a variety of items, including the famous Zhonya’s Hourgl
