Despite launching back in 2009, Riot Games' ground-breaking MOBA game news has remained a force in the gaming scene, particularly for online skirmishes and esports. In League of Legends , players clash in fun PvP fights with four other companions amidst fantasy backdr

Canyon spent the summer split proving that he is the best Jungler in Korea. His flexibility opens DAMWON's drafts and playstyles, preventing the team from being predictable. Mechanically, he can go toe to toe with the best. Canyon’s ability to both enable Showmaker and Nuguri while also inhibiting enemy junglers led Damwon to dominate the summer split, and potentially the international st

Draven players love his ADC potential thanks to his innate abilities. He boasts great burst damage coupled with great movespeed, although players have a hard time juggling and positioning. His Passive - League of Draven allows him to gain stacks when he kills anything, and extra gold for killing Champi

Alright, that heading is a bit of an exaggeration, but Phoenix is the character to have received the most significant nerfs in this patch. The three main changes are that Fire Spirits has had its cooldown increased from 45/40/35/30 to 51/44/37/30, leaving the ability virtually unchanged in the late game but more difficult to spam in the early g

He's one of the most storied players in League of Legends, as well as the face of the Fnatic franchise. Although Rekkles and his teammates inarguably had an up and down year, the European titans did end up making it to both the spring and summer finals, even if they wound up getting swept both times by G2. Rekkles is a proven commodity. He's demonstrated the ability to pop off at any moment, with the talent to completely turn the tides of a game. Rekkles will go into Worlds 2020 geared up and ready, as he always d

In recent years, the distinct and thrilling Battle Royale genre has dominated the free-to-play market . This is due to studios releasing these elimination showdowns for free to support their growing community. It's what keeps 100-man matches possible; a format necessary for Battle Royales to be playable. However, the free-to-play industry is also saturated with many other genres such as FPS, co-op, looter-shooter, open-world, and so much m

DAMWON dominated the LCK in summer and come into Worlds as the team with the highest potential to reclaim the World Championship crown for South Korea, and Showmaker is at the root. He comes into the tournament with a KDA of 16. For context, T1’s Teddy had the second-highest KDA at 7.8. DAMWON's success stems from Showmaker’s ability to completely take over a game. The LCK MVP looks to show the World why Damwon is so domin

In his first split as a part of Gen.G, BDD was one of the best performing mid laners in the LCK, with a 6.2 KDA (kill/death/assist) ratio, which was good for second in the LCK Summer Split, behind only DAMWON’s Heo "ShowMaker" Su. Although many consider bot laner Park "Ruler" Jae-hyuk to be the main carry of the team, BDD brings a ton of talent and leadership to the team, making them one of the favorites from Korea to win the entire ev

W: Spirit Cleave - Yone cleaves forward in a massive arc dealing a portion of the target's maximum health. After successfully hitting an enemy Yone also gains a temporary shield. The shield's power increases per champion str

The game has a lot of champions to choose from as well, each with their own special abilities. With its five-vs-five format, Paladins allows for smaller team compositions than Overwatch but also has more champions to select from. With over 40 champions, the team composition possibilities are endl

Other heroes have seen reductions in the movement speed of their base kit or of certain abilities, which is in line with the changes made the movement speed items listed above. Batrider’s Firefly speed bonus, Bloodseeker’s Thirst, Broothmother’s Spin Web, and Death Prophet are all heroes or abilities that have seen such movement speed reducti

This means that certain heroes who have a high base movement speed such as Keeper of the Light will benefit less from the use of these items compared to before because they are receiving a bonus that disregards their inherently high base speed. On the opposite end of things, heroes that are inherently slower in their base speed like Medusa will benefit slightly by becoming faster than when using percentage-based bonus items for movement speed. Players who do not pay attention to this change will certainly be in for a rude awakening as they slightly overextend with a hero that was slightly faster only last w

Two basic but important combos with Leona are her basic attack reset and her full combo with all her abilities. Since Leona's Shield of Daybreak is a basic attack reset, you can follow up a basic attack with it and then also follow up the shield attack with another basic attack. First, right click an enemy and then use Shield of Daybreak to immediately hit them again. After the Shield hit, use your basic attack again which will result in 3 quick hits. Use this combo after Zenith Blading to an enemy or when destroying wards in the brush. For her full combo, either start with Solar Flare to stun enemies at a range, or use Zenith Blade to root them, then follow up with Shield of Daybreak and Eclipse. Since the enemy should be fairly immobile, it will be easy to land Solar Flare if you didn't already start with
