Leonardo has his own set of impressive armor that mirrors Garen’s skin in League of Legends. This cosplayer’s attention to detail in his armor making is simply mesmerizing and his Sunsteel Broadsword is something to be desired. Leonardo’s other cosplays include Jayce and “Mister Fortu

Even having just one squadmate kitted out with a sniper rifle opens up a bevy of tactical options. Out sniping the other team doesn’t necessarily need to be the name of the game, either. One squadmate returning fire to draw attention while the other two find routes to flank or close the gap is a remarkably effective strat

Skulltown, Singh Labs, and practically any drop internet site designated as a hot zone should be completely stricken from your menu as the Jumpmaster. In Ranked Mode, you’re presumably being matched with players that are every bit as good as you are, and chances are you won’t be walking out al

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

Respawn expects a higher level of commitment during ranked play compared to regular matches. To that end, they have instituted a leavers penalty to anyone who does not completely finish their match. Respawn considers leaving early to include leaving during character select, while you are alive, or while you are dead but can still be respaw

Last fall, 24 teams from around the world competed for a near $5 million prize pool at the League of Legends World Championship. The finals were held in front of a sold-out, 20,000-person crowd at the AccorHotels Arena in Paris, France. An estimated 100 million more watched online. For reference, 98.2 million people tuned in for Super Bowl L

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

Along those lines, Respawn has also detailed their policy of loss forgiveness for this series. This applies to any match where you would normally finish at a net negative, but the loss was potentially due to something outside of your control. Respawn defines these situations as when match made teammates leave the game early, client errors, and “other cases where we determine you are not to blame for leaving the ga

For many fans, DC’s upcoming slate of movies is more exciting than what Marvel Studios has planned for Phase 4 of the MCU. Between 2020 and 2022, DC Films is currently developing more big-name properties than Marvel, who has been leading the industry in comic book film adaptations for the last dec

Those who think esports occupy a small, forgettable faction of the entertainment industry are unequivocally and undeniably wrong. Esports may seem small due to a lack of mainstream coverage, but the budding industry is a global phenomenon with a fanbase in the hundreds of millions. Still, esports continues to be difficult to wa

Still, esports is often treated like one entity. In reality, individual games play out more like anthologies—unconnected by the umbrella term that defines them. Like a thin layer of algae on the surface of an abandoned pool, esports as a title masks the diverse ecosystem that exists beneath the surface, suffocating its variety and preventing outsiders from getting in the water. Even if you are a huge fan of one title, other games remain largely uninteresting and impossible to watch. As a result, can anyone really call themselves a fan of espo

This League of Legends character is the gorgeous bounty hunter who plays the game with a merciless hand. After the death of her parents, Sarah made a name for herself, better known to the salon-goers of Bilgewater as Miss Fortune. She wields the powerful firearms designed by her mother and takes no prisoners on her hunt for vengea

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League represented several of DC’s problems, but fortunately it didn’t take too long for DC to fix them. With both movies, it felt like DC was trying to copy the formula of The Avengers , but not in a good way. DC’s team-ups didn’t feel earned in the same way as Marvel’s. Marvel took its time, while DC rushed toward throwing its biggest heroes together — and it showed. DC didn’t make the same mistakes with Aquaman and Shazam!, which feel unique from anything made by Marvel. Since Justice League , DC has showed a willingness to dabble in various genres, tones, and styles. What DC has on the horizon is a sign that the studio is doubling-down on this appro
