Offensively, being able to avoid unit collision can allow Braum to chase down enemies who thought they were about to make a safe getaway behind a group of minions. Once he catches them, using something like Winter's Bite can slow them down until the rest of the team can catch
This item was meant as a support tool but was partially removed because nearly every tank champion in any role could get an absurd amount of money from it. It even used to build into popular tank items like the Locket of the Iron Solari and Randuin's Omen, making it a must-have for nearly any l
Canadas went on to explain that I should think of the game in terms of a mathematical give-and-take system of points. He noted how I should continuously note damage dealt versus damage sustained, and this should impact my decisions to push or withd
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
In the early season, Sunfire Aegis was by far the best tank mythic item. After several nerfs, the three tank items have become much closer in balance. Balanced stats means the items are evaluated based on their active abilities less than the raw numbers. For Turbo Chemtank, that active makes the i
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
Before embarking on this endeavor, I spoke to Josh Fabian , Metafy’s cofounder and CEO. A product specialist who previously founded the anime social sharing site Kitsu , Metafy is his newest endea
As a ranged character, Teemo is an easy counter to most melee champions. He is able to do a lot of poke damage out of range of the enemy's attacks. As such, many Top Lane melee mains, such as Garen players, despise Teemo Top Lan
Like many other competitive players, Stephen "Snoopeh" Ellis bounced around a bit during his relatively brief career. His break into stardom happened when he signed with CLG EU in 2011, but he made a name for himself under Evil Geniuses (EG). In contrast to aggro-junglers, Snoopeh took a more support-based approach, but still ganked fairly of
For instance, Doublelift is known for constantly trash-talking his opponents. He even has his own catchphrase: "everyone else is trash" which made him very entertaining for fans of the esport. Many were sad to see him separated from his long-time bot-lane partner Zaqueri "ahpromoo" Black. He remains an active player for Team Dignitas (DIG). As of March 9, 2021, Doublelift did "rejoin" TSM as a streamer, but (so far) he has no indicated that he will compete ag
These items are in the same spot because, functionally, they serve the same purpose. Verdant Barrier is a new item that increases ability power and magic resist, while Seeker's does the same but with armor instead. They're both low-cost items, and can typically be completed on a first back by any control mage worth their s
New Teemo players may be tempted to just throw out their Noxious Traps wherever possible, hoping to catch an enemy in its explosion. An experienced Teemo player, however, will strategically place the poisonous mushro
At first, his playstyle was very aligned with his known temper. He was constantly playing aggressively and Arena 2v2 looking for kills, but he only improved during his days as a professional mid laner. Curiously, the name "Reginald" was just Andy's attempt to come up with the most annoying name possible for someone to h
Bjergsen is also known for being the first European player to become a start in North America. He scored the first pentakill ever in the EU LCS with his Syndra -- a champion he used to pick since before she was even seen as meta. His champion pool is as deep as the Marianas Trench and he put the entire team on his back many a t
The active, Stasis, is absurdly powerful in the right situation. Using the Stopwatch will turn the user gold, rendering them untargetable and invulnerable for the duration. The user can't do anything during the duration either. This item has so many different uses that describing them here would take quite some time. It can dodge abilities, buy time for allies to arrive, buy time for defensive cooldowns, or simply just look cool while styling on opponents. There's a reason pro-LoL fans see more than one Stopwatch in every single competitive match; its active is too good to pass
An amazing AD Carry player, often due to his outstanding mechanical skills, Jian "Uzi" Zi-Hao has one of the longest careers in League of Legends. Uzi played the game for 8 years and only stopped due to wrist injuries. The official announcement of his retirement was made last y
