Second, this isn't the first time Seraphine has been allegedly inspired by a real person. Jeevun Sidhu, a senior designer at Riot, tweeted out that the character is actually based on his partner - something that Stephanie has acknowledged . When that story went around, though, Riot Games Pop Mart Collaboration didn't issue some weak tea statement about the character not being based on anybody. It was only when they were called out by very compelling evidence that they said literally anything about it, likely in fear over another Edgar Davids situati

With the recent release of patch 10.25 of League of Legends , many players are testing the changes during the pre-season to find out what the next meta builds are for their favorite champions. A handful of items saw buffs and nerfs this patch, some of which keenly affected the playstyle of many League of Legends player's favorite mid lane champion, Ahri. While she may not be the easiest champion to play, she is one of the most

While Ahri's Q has a relatively low cooldown, its mana cost is rather high. Do not be tempted to spam the ability too frequently in the early game. Use it at its maximum range to ensure that it hits the enemy on the way in and on the way out. Her Q should be the first ability to max out, because of its huge increase in damage. Fox-Fire should be the second in most games. This is due to its reliable damage output and low cooldown. However, Ahri is a relatively squishy champion, so be careful when using it in close com

When Brand lands an ability, the item will burn an enemy for 4 seconds, and it deals damage based on the enemy's overall health. The item also ignores up to 15% of an enemy's magic resist-which means that Brand can now melt tanks, and if that wasn't enough, it applies cooldown reduction on other magic it

This might sound harsh, but it's practically the only option that doesn't feel gross here. The lack of empathy it would take to read Stephanie's account, then try and sweep it under the rug through plausible deniability would be downright inhumane. On top of that, Riot can't just continue to ignore the mounting criticisms that Seraphine's Diet Rite brand of mental illness is exploitative on multiple levels, nor can they truly wash away the proverbial stank from her original l

Ahri's Q is her best tool during team fights. Orb of Deception can pierce through multiple enemies (and minions) in a single ability cast. This allows her to deal massive damage to enemies clumped together during the fights. Initiate for the team with Charm, then follow it up with Fox-Fire to close the gap. This combo will let the team single out an important target before the fighting has even be

Most Jungle mains play champions who dish out a lot of damage, but in order to play the role well, a champion also needs to be able to gank a lane in a way that catches the enemy by surprise. Rek'Sai may not be all that popular, but her ability to travel through underground tunnels makes her perfect for gank

Low division players love spamming highly mechanical AD champions such as Zed and Yasuo (they are picked in about 16% of all ranked games throughout those divisions). Who better to exploit this than Rammus, the bulwark of an armadillo that hard counters attack damage champions through armor empowering abilities? Rammus possesses the ability to roll into lanes at devastating speed, oftentimes resulting in summoner spells and ki

Thunderclap : This is an active and passive spell. When used as a passive, Malphite gains armor. When activated, this spell creates a sonic boom that causes normal attacks to create shockwaves in front of

A woman named Stephanie, who previously dated a Riot Games employee, presented compelling evidence that Seraphine was modeled after her . While Riot Games denied the claims, it's hard to deny the similarities between Stephanie and the character - especially considering this is the third time Riot has been accused of t

If possible, players shouldpair Malphite on a team with Yasuo. This is because Yasuo's Last Breath attack can be used following Unstoppable Force to keep enemies in the air longer and prevent them from counterattacking immediat

This claim is curious for two reasons. First, the idea that an employee who left over a year ago couldn't have had input on a character released in 2020 is absurd. Game development is a protracted process by its very nature, and many developers do work on games that they don't stay the full course for. It's plausible that a bunch of the design work for Seraphine was in the can last year, and she just now got put into the g

Vlad may not be the strongest champion in the lore , but he is still a powerful being who can dominate in both Mid and Top Lane. Unlike other mages, Vlad can build tanky and still do insane damage, but he can now initiate team fights and wreak havoc on the enemy with the new Hextech Rocketb

When choosing items to use to build Malphite, players should focus on the composition of the other team and select items that will help counteract their abilities. For example, when an opposing team has high Attack Damage, players may want to get Thornmail armor for Malphite, which will return a portion of their damage back to them. If the enemy team contains a lot of champions who can deal heavy magical damage, players will want to outfit Malphite with gear that improves defense against magical attacks. In addition, items that increase AD or AP, attack speed, HP, Mana, and magical resistance are generally good choices for Malph
