Once again, if we view the overall theme of 7.26 as an effort by Valve to slow down gameplay, many of the changes to heroes make perfect sense. For starters, Alchemist has seen Greedevil’s Greed cap reduced from 20/24/28/32 to 18/22/26/30, and the base gold bonus reduced from 4 to 3. This means that Alchemist is far less effective at farming in the new patch, but still in line with most other heroes of the same t
The game has a lot of champions to choose from as well, each with their own special abilities. With its five-vs-five format, Paladins allows for smaller team compositions than Overwatch but also has more champions to select from. With over 40 champions, the team composition possibilities are endl
They wanted to take everything, and they ended up getting nothing, as the remaining Excel members jumped onto the three Misfits players in the mid lane and forced everyone else away from their objectives. Misfits has the potential to be a top tier team, but they’re just not at that level
In the same matchup against Rouge, Mad Lions purposely let through Varus, who has essentially been a global perma-ban in League of Legends as of late. Mad Lions then immediately locked in Senna and Wukong as their bot lane. They smashed the Varus-led Rouge, with Matyáš “Carrzy” Orság going 2/1/7 on Senna and Norman “Kaiser” Kaiser going 3/0/6 on Wuk
Leona’s abilities are geared towards getting in the middle of the fight and using crowd control abilities to allow her teammates to land their damage. Here is a basic overview of her abilities and when she might benefit from using t
Volibear’s strengths become apparent as an aggressive, all-in-type champion. If his team is not on the same page as him, his all-in dives become problematic, and can lose his team the game. Teams need to be careful when picking Volibear, as he’s not a champion that belongs in every team composit
The fantasy RPG epic The Witcher 3 is brimming with things to do, places to explore, and foes to slay. Among this journey is a fan-favorite card game that many agree was deep and enjoyable enough to stand as its own game. CD Projekt Red seems to concur, as they’ve since released this digital card game standalone in 2
Master Yi is the biggest skip in percentages so far, being locked out of 34.22% of games. Much like Blitzcrank and Leona, Yi is far from a versatile tool but does a great job in the role he’s built for: having massive damage output and speed compared to other junglers and assass
Killstreaks no longer award 30-> 100 but instead 20->90. Along with the gold nerf of 7.26, this should further work to slow down early moba Game advanced tactics level differences between teams following a few unfavorable scraps and will place more emphasis on the mid and endgame. Valve is also literally slowing down movement for some characters by moving away from percentage-based movement speed bonuses to flat number increases. For example, Boots of Speed, Power Treads, and Arcane Boots used to all say +15%, and now instead say
For noobs and pros alike, there are just some champions that will forever get banned in competitive play (and even in normals). Here’s 15 League of Legends champions that, according to statistics site op.gg, are the hottest on the ban list this y
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
What truly pushes Senna over the edge is that unlike physical support picks like Pyke , her damage and utility comes with some long-range harassment attacks. There’s a reason Senna works just as well as a bottom lane assassin, and the power to fight with such distance makes her a solid
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
CS:GO is the latest installment of the Counter-Strike franchise, and also the most developed. It is one of the most competitive FPS games in the esports scene and one of the most widely played games ever. This tactical shooter pits terrorists against counter-terrorists in various game mo
Yone’s addition to League of Legends is significant, as Riot Games realized they struck gold when they released Yasuo in 2013. Yasuo has remained one of the most popular champions in League in the seven years since his release, and it’s apparent Riot wanted to take extra care in crafting a character to represent his brother. Yone is already a hit, making huge waves in the League community before he’s even made his way off of the Public Beta Environment. Along with the re-release of the League of Legends game mode Nexus Blitz , Yone’s release is sure to bring countless players to the Rift again, or perhaps even for the first t
