Players can also more effectively chase down enemies if they use Blood Rush correctly. While it can be tempting to charge straight ahead at the enemy, players should actually wait right before the ax lands in front of them to catch it. If they immediately press W as soon as possible, the speed boost they get will negate any of the waiting time they took. It takes a bit of practice to get this bizarre movement tech to work efficiently, but it's absolutely worth
League of Legends lore of Legends is essentially a game of attrition, at its core. The goal is not to take on opponents head-on, but rather to collect resources, XP, and slowly but surely crawl ahead of the enemy team. Each champion in the team takes their place in one of three lanes (or the jungle) and collects XP and gold from fallen enemy mobs while taking out that lane's defensive tow
Knowing when to join a fight can change the flow of the game entirely, but joining a losing fight leads to nothing but wasted time. It can be tempting to jump into the fray to help out teammates, but pay close attention to their hea
The axe ricochets off the target high up into the air, landing 2 seconds later at a location determined by Draven's current movement. If Draven catches an axe, Spinning Axe is reapplied for no additional cost on his next basic att
Vision wards are an incredible tool that beginners tend to avoid. They are relatively cheap to buy, easy to use, and give the player's team a major advantage if used correctly. Vision wards serve best when hidden from view, in bushes, and in enemy territ
The item system has seen just as many dramatic changes with all sorts of items being either removed from the game or changed beyond recognition. The store is quite clean now thanks to a recent overhaul of the shop, but there are tons of items from even further back that were both incredibly dominant and hilariously usel
League of Legends is a titan of the competitive gaming scene. It has been around for just over a decade and claims some of the largest prize pools in esports history. It is a game with a surprising amount of nuance; being good at League of Legends is one thing, but mastering it requires intimate knowledge of its mechanics and gamep
Zeke's Herald is a supportive tank item that simply never found a home as it granted additional Attack Damage and Life Steal to nearby allies. In theory, this seems like a great buff for aggressive physical teams, and its health and cooldown reduction bonus made it great for supportive melee champions like Jarvan
Before I signed up for the session, I wanted to understand Metafy from a coach’s perspective. I spoke with Perry "KnowKami" Vinson , a partnered Twitch streamer , YouTuber and top-level Dragon Ball FighterZ player. Vinson said he joined the site after seeing other players tweet that they’d started coaching on Met
Knowing when it is safe to stay in lane and when to teleport back to base is a basic skill in League of Legends . Many players forget that they are open to sudden attacks when teleporting back to base out in the open, though, especially after a close fi
Being able to completely shrug off a single powerful projectile-based ability can be the difference between a winning encounter and being crushed. Plus, putting Braum at the front of a fight can help to make tower pushes far easier in general if opponents are nearby with this abil
When I spoke to Fabian, he touched on the importance of a concept called "deliberate practice." Citing Benjamin Franklin, who was a dedicated chess player, Fabian suggested the American scientist was unable to reach the level of the grandmasters because he didn’t have the opportunity to engage in deliberate practice. With most of the best chess players far away in Europe, Franklin wasn’t able to analyze their play and get the feedback necessary to hone in on specific areas of improvement. (You can find the anecdote, as excerpted in the book "Peak" by Anders Ericsson, her
I selected a timeslot based on Canadas’s availability. The platform allows players to send their prospective coaches a message, so I included a note explaining that I have more than 1800 hours in the game but continue to struggle to keep up with my friends, particularly after switching from Xbox to PC roughly a year ago. He promptly accepted my appointment t
This is the number one rule of playing as Braum — always be stacking Concussive Blows. Once the first hit is landed, make sure to get allies to add on with some basic attacks of their own. It's far easier to take down everything from dragons to enemy champions if they're stun
Braum dashes to the target ally, positioning himself between them and the closest enemy champion, gaining bonus armor and bonus magic resistance for 3 seconds. If his target is a champion, they also receive the same bonuses.
The obvious way to implement this ability is for raising defense in tough fights or to set up for quick retreats. However, it's important to realize this ability isn't always about defense — it can help offensively as well. This ability can help Braum suddenly be in the thick of battle while buffing teammates for some serious ambush potent
