5 Takeaways from the League of Legends Mid-Season Cup

Of these caveats, the most obvious would be the lack of clicking specific targets. While this might not matter with minions and creeps, targeting matters a lot during clashes. For instance, Miss Fortune's Double Up S1 can kill Champions and deal bounce damage to nearby enemies. In Wild Rift , Miss Fortune players will have to click icons of enemy Champions near their skill list to target them, instead of the usual point-and-cl

The thing about Illaoi is that no matter how annoying she is in lane, she becomes more dangerous in team fights, being able to somewhat Isolate enemy ADC's and in team fights, if she uses her multi she can turn the tide of a losing fight real qu

Jungler: The jungle is an area in the Summoners Rift. In the jungle, this roll can grow experience quickly without having to split it with the rest of the team. They will also be responsible for killing creatures to gather XP. Junglers are fast and can deal plenty of dam

Thanks to some wonky blind-pick games that allowed for mirror matches, Varus had a 108% presence this tournament, a record that may prove to stand for a long time. The only losses on Varus were to another Varus in a blind-pick mirror match. The marksman's ultimate, chain of corruption, has the ability to turn fights around and his constant damage output combined with his long-range makes him an incredibly strong pick in the game's current m

Malphite is in a lot of ways the quintessential representation of a tank in League of Legends. He is a big bulky champion with a lot of sustain and not much damage and all of his spells either give CC or just make him even tank

Here's how League of Legends games work out. Two teams of Five are to face off against each other on the map, Summoner's Rift. The player then will select champions to take control of for the match. Currently, the game has over 140 characters, each one with their own unique abilities and skills. In order to win the game, the team must destroy the enemy team's base. The challenges lie in seeing who can do this first while killing each other and protecting their own base. Also, champions can be leveled up in games and become stronger by earning experience and gold. One team will eventually fall behind and the other will be victorious. Sounds simple enough. Although, there's a lot of consideration when playing a game of League of Legends , especially when selecting a champion. Each game can be vastly different due to the difference in each champion. Let's start with choosing a r

For instance, roles such as tanks might have simpler "loadouts," which might constrain players who love tinkering with combos. Runes seem more accessible, which again might impede with the tactical depth pre-match League usually offers. Unfortunately, this mobile format might constrain PC fans. The gameplay might be simplified and turn out to be less exciting than the regular Leag

There's no game in the world like League of Legends Builds of Legends. Modern-day eSports can be grateful for the success of the game. While eSports has existed for decades in the form of competitive Quake and Call of Duty tournaments and competition, neither has even come close to what League of Legends has accomplished. It's completely understandable while people would want to play this game. An entire business has been built around this single game. Although for beginners, try collecting a group of friends and learning together. It could be their next favorite g

This is a fun build that works surprisingly well on standard matches, but will likely struggle in ranked matches. Your goal, in the beginning, is to farm minions before pushing hard in the mid-game. The end-game is where you’ll sh

With the season just halfway through, it can be argued that all five Cloud9 members are worthy of winning the Spring Split MVP. Each of them are dominating in their own way, but perhaps none are more deserving than Zven. Playing excellent both mechanically and mentally, Zven along with his support Vulcan have dominated the bot lane this season, and week 5 was no different. Zven played an excellent Varus against CLG, who Cloud9 unsurprisingly beat. What was surprising, however, was Cloud9's choice of bot lane in their second game against Immortals. Zven actually played "support" Senna, while Vulcan went Tahm Kench, acting as the "carry." This is a strategy similar to what Dignitas Academy employed in their matchup against Golden Guardians Academy, where AD carry Fenix went Senna and support Olleh went Galio. Fenix "supported" Olleh as he farmed with Ga

There's a lot to unpack from 2020's first international tournament, from Korean champs T1 being eliminated in the group stage, to Kang "TheShy" Seung-lok's concerning performances. But here are five of the biggest takeaways from the 2020 Mid-Season

DAMWON Gaming showed flashes of brilliance, but their overconfidence and questionable draft choices, such as support Cho "BeryL" Geon-hee playing Karma time and time again despite being near useless on the champion, led to their ultimate downf
