One of the biggest things League of Legends and Pokémon have in common is their character lists, with League having over 140 champions while Pokémon features nearly 900 species. There are sure to be limitations on what kinds of species can be playable, but even after excluding legendary Pokémon and unusual evolution lines, there’s an obscene list of characters for Pokémon Unite to choose f
Yasuo easily becomes a fan-favorite for his mobility and capacity to dominate the late moba game tournaments. Unfortunately, he tends to be vulnerable against crowd control. However, mastering Yasuo enables him to solo lanes and farm easily. For instance, his Passive - Way of the Wanderer allows him to generate Flow as he travels, which he can expend to get a massive shield for a sec
Alright, that heading is a bit of an exaggeration, but Phoenix is the character to have received the most significant nerfs in this patch. The three main changes are that Fire Spirits has had its cooldown increased from 45/40/35/30 to 51/44/37/30, leaving the ability virtually unchanged in the late game but more difficult to spam in the early g
For old school League players , this entry should come as no surprise. Unlike the support items today, all three of these items give passive gold over time. They were initially for supports, but mostly every lane started buying them. Because of the passive or the item is in the build tree for another item, they give tons of gold with no coun
Additionally, Q - Disintegrate fires a simple firebolt... except it gives Annie half-cooldown and the entire mana cost if Q becomes the last hit. Meanwhile, W - Incinerate unleashes a cone of fire to enemies. Pesky attackers won't stand a chance with E - Molten Shield, which wraps Annie in a shield of flame. Lastly, Ult - Summon Tibbers literally transforms Tibbers, Annie's teddy bear, into a demonic bear mons
Lee Sin fans love this Champion for his early-game potential, as he can go toe-to-toe against most Champions provided he gets the chance to snowball early. However, the difficulty arises when Lee Sin players need to be careful with his particular combos. These factors begin with Passive - Flurry as autoattacks after abilities store energy and gain 40% attack speed, making Lee Sin dependent on autoattacks for regenerat
What makes him especially powerful is how hard he can be to kill. His efficient self-healing power and multi-target damage capabilities make him move so fast that you can’t target him. When stacked with lifesteal items to heal himself further, he either needs to be stunned immediately on sight or, better yet, ban
His passive grants enough shielding that other mid-laners can struggle to get a takedown on him. Yasuo also isn’t as limited as Yi, having impressive crowd control for a variety of situations and working well in nearly any starting l
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
Caitlyn's main asset would be W - Yordle Snap Trap, which traps enemies. Meanwhile, her Q - Piltover Peacemaker helps Caitlyn deal damage to a line of enemies. Her E - 90 Caliber Net serves as an escape tool, as she jumps backward and fires a net that slows opponents. Lastly, her Ult - Ace in the Hole can deal devastating damage provided players line up a shot within her loading durat
Though not great as a solo-carry champion like Darius, Yuumi may be the right champion for you if you have a dedicated ranked duo team or bottom lane pair. Her synergy with specific team comps is what earns her a ~29% ban r
Older players got to experience this item's power and know why it was quickly removed. Before the start of season three, Madred's Bloodrazor continues to dominate the rift. A very high-cost item but allows each basic attack to deal 4% of the target's maximum health as bonus magic damage. Pairing with a 40% attack speed makes this item extremely powerful. Primarily built on champions with AD, it allows them to destroy tanks who stack armor resist because of the bonus magic damage. Along with the odd stats it has, it wasn't easy to play against and is why it makes the l
Patch 7.26a has now been live in Dota 2 for a few days and we can finally discuss how the most recent changes are affecting players in both casual and competitive games. Some the changes were expected by the community in general relating to other changes from a previous patch, and it is best to consider some of these changes as an overall effort to slow down early-game level ga
In season 4, Wriggle's Lantern receives an upgrade that is so powerful it only lasts about half of the season. Feral Flare is one of the only few items in the game's history with an infinite scaling stat. Champion kills, assists, and killing large monsters grant stacks. Stacks give increasing bonus magic damage to basic attacks and life steal. On top of increasing stats, it also increases the gold the user gains through monster kills and gives a free ward. Heavy auto-attack focused champions dominated with this item if they allowed to st
