Another recent removal from Season 9 is the Spear of Shojin . Its original concept was much different before it removing the item and giving the item a full rework. Most players remember the item by its second redesign, and the reason it was quickly taken out. After casting your ultimate, your first auto would cause your autos for six seconds to lower your basic abilities cooldown by 20% per auto-attack. Stacking attack speed with this allows champions to spam their other abilities making them a rolling death machine. It is no longer in the game; for this reason, interacting with champion abilities, this much has little counterplay. However, items like this one can be found now only in Nexus Blitz m

Best of luck to everyone and keep an eye out for players who may be overextending themselves with these new changes, as they likely have not read the notes and are ripe for a quick kill until they figure it

It wasn’t always so distinct, but League of Legends has had one consistent strategy in terms of where players go on the map. The bottom lane, top lane, middle lane, and jungle are all spots that the game actively sorts its characters into, helping players learn the game one task at a t

Garen and his sister Lux were born into the noble Crownguard family, a family that proudly serves the kingdom of Demacia's military.

Pokémon Unite needs this to succeed as a MOBA. It doesn’t have to mimic League of Legend ’s role patterns exactly, since it’s clear most players don’t just want these games to be too identical, but giving players roles or lanes to focus is important for making sure it’s not a frustrating and disorganized battlefi

The Taunt king ( sorry Teemo ) has severely fallen out of fashion over the last few years. He used to be a fantastic jungler because his ganks were legendary with his rolling, his taunting, and his knock-up. But so many champions now have abilities to counter his approaches that it renders his utility useless. As a result, players might be able to use Rammus in lower ranks to rise up, but will find it very difficult to leverage his abilities in higher tiers of difficu

Ahead of the 2020 Spring Split, Counter Logic Gaming acquired former world champion Lee "Crown" Min-ho. After a 1-7 start, Crown was benched for veteran Eugene "Pobelter" Park. "When [Pobelter] first joined, the team was kinda off the rails in a way," Stixxay said while laughing. "We forgot about a lot of the fundamentals and basics of the game cause we’d just been losing so mu

It’s no secret that Pokémon Unite is one of the least popular announcements in the history of the series. Its reveal has amassed tons of dislikes on YouTube over the game’s partnership with Tencent and the likelihood of microtransactions, but many fans were simply disappointed that the Pokémon Company announced this Moba game champions instead of a new mainline game, or even a new entry in the Pokémon Let’s Go ser
