Clear roles can have an unfortunate downside, though, as many League of Legends players often complain about. Because of how highly enforced these lanes are by players and the game itself, the game can feel somewhat stagnant at times, and experimentation is either incredibly rare or often frowned upon by the commun

With about 150 different champions and balance changes every week, the competitive metagame of League of Legends can be difficult to navigate. Everything from the simplicity of a character to deep strategies can alter who you might want to play, or who you’ll expect to play agai

With a ~20% ban rate on OP.GG, pro-players have inspired many amateurs to start experimenting with the characters they take through the jungle. Fans have seen jungle Karthus in the most recent Summer Split, as well as casuals bombing as Twitch going 0

A classic alternative to your standard ability-power focused champion in the mid lane, Zed has consistently been a thorn in everyone's side since his release all the way back in 2012. With better team fight capabilities than an Akali and superior scaling to even some AP champs, Zed has an impressive ban rate of about ~

Spirit Blossom 2020 centers around the Ionian Spirit Blossom skins which are canon in League of Legends' lore. After a brief tease during Check This Out 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

Since Shyvana is half-dragon, Riot could try and give her a "Dragon Master" Ultimate skin, which could allow her to transform into miniature versions of the dragons that spawn on Summoner's Rift, including the all powerful Elder Dra

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

The Emperor of the Sands has not received a skin in over three years, which is strange seeing as his Galactic, Warring Kingdoms, and Gravelord skins each have impressive effects and visuals. An Ultimate skin would work because any changes done to his appearance throughout the game can be added to the soldiers he summons, who have their own sand effects, and if Riot gives him the Elementalist treatment, there could be a variety of stunning effe

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

Instead of traditional missions, 10 Spirit Bonds will be forged during Spirit Blossom 2020. To start, players need to click on each champion's picture to meet them and begin earning favor, the point system for different rewards. Make sure to talk to all the available portraits immediately since favor won't count for champions that haven't been spoken

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

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

That said, a Pokémon MOBA isn’t inherently a bad idea for a game, as League of Legends has proved throughout the decade how polished and robust this genre can be. It’s likely these games are going to be fairly similar, and while there are traits Pokémon Unite can learn from League of Legends , some qualities it could do with

Battle Sled: A respawning sled appears in base that can be steered by the first player that climbs into it. Other allies can hitch a ride by jumping onto the sled and everyone will explode out upon colliding with terrain or an en

Senna fills that void with 10% - 30% of bans across tiers, both by being a fresher face and due to her interesting skillset. She can be a support champion or, as many players have utilized her, as an ADC champ
