While some Champions in _League of Legends _ prefer to deal damage from the sidelines or channel helpful spells, Garen is a Champion that likes to be in the thick of it, swinging and slamming his sword in a dizzying dance of dam

Spirit Blossom 2020 centers around the Ionian Spirit Blossom skins which are canon in League of Legends' lore. After a brief tease during this year's Anime Expo Lite stream, the skins were slowly revealed and culminated with a teaser video last week previewing Spirit Blossom's themes. While veteran players should be familiar with the reward structure, there are several different elements compared to past eve

Yone is a mobile melee attack-damage caster/assassin like his brother. Though it remains to be seen where Yone will fit into the meta, it's safe to say that mid-laners who are fond of the in-and-out, high-damage playstyle of Yasuo will find themselves right at home with Yone. This guide will get players familiar with Yone's abilities and started on the path to slicing up the trolls in /all chat with two katanas in h

Xerath is also a ranged mage who has four skill shots, and based on the quality of the effects of his Guardian of the Sands and Darkstar skins, he is a perfect candidate for another Elementalist skin, or at the very least a similar skin that requires him to actually land his abilit

The next League of Legends event is finally arriving after Pulsefire 2020 previously ended over a month ago. From July 22nd to August 24th, Spirit Blossom 2020 is a summer celebration that brings back missions, prizes, and the Nexus Blitz game mode for participating play

Since Pokémon Unite won’t contain as much in the way of custom movesets as a typical Pokémon team, having this sort of consistent way to customize stats and give additional abilities adds tons of depth to each character. Trees can’t be too large or daunting for new players, but this feature offers far more tools to play w

Making sure these are priced properly, though, is something that took League quite a while to figure out. Many early skins are quite unexciting recolors, while newer ones typically have new particle effects and animations at similar prices. Pokémon Unite ’s microtransactions should certainly be around cosmetics at most, but their quality must be worth their pr

League of Legends had a major update in the past few years in terms of its Runes and Mastery Trees. Runes were originally a purchasable series of stat boosts that took ages to collect, but eventually, they were combined with the Mastery Trees to give unique abilities and stat boosts at no cost to the pla

So long as Pokémon Unite has a large enough roster at launch, this shouldn’t be too likely depending on how rapidly they want to continue adding to it, and how well they compensate for new characters. If characters are purchased rather than free or earned through gameplay, having fast expansion could be just as much a financial concern for players

Entering his tenth split with CLG, Stixxay has had the opportunity to play with a wide variety of teammates. From being the young rookie playing next to the veteran Zaqueri "aphromoo" Black , Stixxay has since transformed into the old-timer himself. Now at the age of 23, he's able to share his wisdom with the team's newcom

While the complexity of Spirit Blossom 2020 may be initially confusing, Spirit Bonds are just slightly renamed missions with a similar progression system. And there seems to be more to this Ionian festival and summer event than described so far, as several Spirit Blossom skins are releasing at a later date along with Yone, the presumed masked man from the teas

While slowing down releases of new champions, League of Legends has spent a ton of time reworking older characters to fit into the game better. Classic characters like Fiddlesticks and Volibear have had huge recent overhauls on their attacks and animations, and while they might play better now, it can be jarring for returning play

Stixxay talked about some of what he learned from his past bot lane partners. Speaking of aphromoo, who was his first-ever support in the LCS, Stixxay praised him for being a "personable" leader. "If I was in distress or I felt like I didn’t know what was going on with the team, he was always the guy that I’d message late at night and be like, ‘Yo, can you help me work through this because I just don’t know what’s going

League of Legends has its own mobile version coming called Wild Rift , and even there it’s clear they’ve simplified things quite a bit for a platform without a keyboard too. MOBAs thrive on complex characters and situations, but having too many could be just as big of a prob

Riot Games recently released Valorant- a tactical FPS that rivals Overwatch in gameplay. No matter how well Valorant does, Riot will always be known as the developer who brought League of Legends to life in 2009, and the popular MOBA game DLC has since become one of the most played games in the wo
