To start, players need to click on each champion's picture to meet them and begin earning favor, the point system for different rewards.

Counter Logic Gaming's Trevor "Stixxay" Hayes has been through it all. He first joined the League of Legends organization as a substitute back in June of 2015. Nearly a year later, the bot laner won the 2016 North American Spring title in his first ever LCS sp

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

Valorant is the result of Overwatch, CS:GO, and Rainbow Six all wrapped up into an epic and appealing package. The game takes some of the most beloved gameplay elements of popular paid games, mixes them up, adds its own unique touch, and then releases it for free.
