Right now the strongest champions in the Bottom Lane are Lucian, Ezreal, Draven, Sivir, and Caitlyn. Ezreal is still not what you would think of as a traditional ADC, running kleptomancy and building Manamune. It’s indicative of just how much the Bottom Lane is returning to form Caitlyn as being strong again; she is the definition of a crit ADC. It will be interesting to see how long Riot wants the bottom lane to stay more traditional, it may not be long before we see Heimerdinger going bottom lane ag

For quite some time Riven has stood out for players that want to make serious outplays and really show what they can do. This patch is an excellent opportunity, as Riven is in a really good place. For tankier options, Nasus is still extremely strong. He can build very healthy while keeping a lot of damage through his stacks. Sion is the ultimate choice for a tank. His health can get to the point of him being almost unkillable and he still provides plenty of utility for the MOBA team composition. Top Laners should be happy with this patch because there are plenty of options available that suit every play st

Genesis has a top-down view, mid goes solo, bottom duos, and hopefully someone jungles. Thankfully, every champion has the ability to teleport to friendly towers. There’s a cooldown, of course, but it’s still nice to have that ability not locked to a summoner spell. The shop is also available everywhere, not just at base. This all seems designed to expedite the laning phase. There’s even an option to begin with your character at level four. It’s like the Genesis devs know that farming creeps is boring and are helping players get to team fights fas

Top Lane has always had to ride the line between tanks and carries and thankfully in 9.4, both are viable. At the top of the tier list are Riven, Nasus, Yorick, Vladimir, Darius, Sion, and Garen. For those that prefer to play on a carry, Riven is the obvious cho

Reading his story, it makes sense why Sol would choose to compete in the league. What doesn’t make sense is how anyone else could defeat him. A space dragon who can create entire star systems seems a bit out of the reach of someone like Jax who simply swings a light post. And yet, Aurelion Sol isn’t even that g

If you’ve played League of Legends, then you know that one of the key points of the game is positioning. Being in the right place at the right time can make all the difference between winning a fight or losing, as well as taking objectives and controlling the game in gene

Genesis opens by explaining that humans and aliens teamed up to go through a portal in space. There are unknown dangers on the other side, which warranted the formation of a group of specialized individuals. Right after, you’re dropped onto a single-lane bridge and put in control of the beginner-friendly archer hero. Sound familiar? I immediately had flashbacks to the League of Legends tutorial. Genesis does try to set itself apart by focusing more on story. The tutorial introduces mysterious aliens that attack our alliance of heroes. What they are, and why they’re hostile, is a matter for the campaign. Oh yeah, there’s a full-on campaign mode. Too bad it doesn’t work at the moment, an issue the devs are actively fixi

There are six ranks in Ranked Leagues: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Apex Predator. Each of these ranks, except for Apex Predator, has four divisions in each. Starting with Bronze IV, then Bronze III, Bronze II, Bronze I, and then Silver IV. You will need to climb through every single division to reach the top rank: Apex Preda

These points sum up the basic components of the game, and the rest will come with actually playing it. If you’re lucky enough to get into the beta, spam games against the AI opponents to gain easy experience which in turn will unlock an initial bounty of cards to expand your collect

Another year has passed, and with it comes a recollection of memories that fans and players alike have created. Throughout the year, potential and opportunity have shined brightly and has never been more prominent. This past year we got to witness and experience the best Dota 2 eSports events in the world, some even breaking world records. These are the top five defining Dota 2 moments in eSports wherein events, players, and moments in time are captivated as histori

From there, simply make a deck that fits your playstyle and start challenging real opponents. Seeing how others have created their decks will be the best experience, and there is no doubt some manner of meta forming already. Best of luck in your venture into Legends of Runeter

The biggest change is the addition of a win condition. Either team could destroy the opposing base to claim victory, but they can also just get 60 kills. The idea, I imagine, is to stop that endgame drag that always happens in close matches. Both sides hunker down in their bases, carefully turning back creep tides and maybe jungling. But mostly they play it safe, retreating the moment a team fight seems to be going bad. It’s tedious, boring, and only amplifies post-match toxicity because the stalemate usually ends when someone gets antsy and gives up a team fight. In Genesis, you can play it safe all you want but one side will eventually get 60 kills. In theory. In my 6-7 hours of play this only happened once. That match still went on a little too long. So while the ultimatum does pressure teams to actually push lanes, it isn’t a complete cure for turtl
