Meanwhile, Burning Agony (S2) allows Dr. Mundo to drain his own Health to deal damage and decrease disable duration. He can use this to tap into Masochism (S3) to boost his attack damage and gain magic resist whenever he receives damage. Lastly, Sadism (Ult) lets him sacrifice Health to gain a massive Health regeneration and Movement Speed bo

** Max Grossman: ** After they go live, it's always tough. We have a bunch of internal data on how Agents perform and can look at the numbers and use that as our most important balancing act. If a character is winning 57% of their matches (none of the Agents are winning that much; this is just a hypothetical) — that's probably something we should address, whether or not the community is aware of that problem. Then there's the flipside: players think something is overpowered, but we have hard data that shows it's not. Regardless of how we get that information, we can identify those problems as things that need addressing, and the solutions can look very differ

Before the Mythic Items came along, Ornn was already one of the Spellcraft game's best Top Laners , and now he's even better. Ornn is a tank who naturally counters other tanks with his basic attacks. With the new Sunfire Aegis, Ornn can deal magic damage that depends on his level, and he gains stacks every time he attacks, which boosts the damage even m

With the latest champion development video, Riot Reav3 has stated the next three releases will be directly tied to the Ruined King's return. While players won't be getting more answers until February, the champions were teased as an AP fighter, a gloomy artillery mage, and a non-traditional AD carry. From these hints, there are several possible guesses to their currently unknown identit

** TheGamer: ** A problem that hero shooters struggle with is balancing abilities. Often, meta and competitive play come strictly down to how practical special skills are. Upon reveal, many people thought Killjoy's ultimate looked unfair, but the truth is all you have to do is shoot her and her bot. Do you believe that Valorant's emphasis on skill-based gunplay ultimately frees you from the "ability balancing" problems that similar games f

Kratos can easily break out of normal ice, but Lissandra's black ice is infused with so much magic that even his body can be crushed by it. He could try asking for help, but that might make things worse, because if Lissandra kills any of his allies, she can create an ice clone which will follow him like a homing miss

Find him in Ionia

Kennen , from the artwork in Wild Rift, appears to be the same shadow warrior imbued with magical traits. It's hard to imagine him getting caught, but thankfully he won't be caged for too long if you're an active pla

League now has Mythic Items, and players need to build one of these items first because they have unique passive abilities and they also buff other items. Certain champions benefit way too much from these items and are now kind of broken, but there are also champions who haven't profited that much from t

At max stacks, Ornn's basic attacks will explode on enemies and burn them for a time, and it will add cooldown reduction to all his additional items. Thanks to his passive, Ornn can upgrade this Mythic Item, and he can do the same for his allies

Shaco can now dash through an enemy and deal damage to them without warning. It also reduces the target's armor and pairs perfectly with Shaco's passive that deals bonus damage when he's behind an en

Steps are both individual and global currency

Steps are the temporary currency during the Yordle Expedition event. The currency functions exactly as it sounds; you can walk a little bit further and uncover more champions, emotes, and cosmetics as you progress with each "St

Like Rek'Sai, Poppy is a tank, and Sunfire Aegis does work well on her, but she suffers in the same way too, especially against mages who can melt through magic resist items. It also doesn't help that ADCs can now avoid her E and ultimate with Galeforce or Immortal Shield

When Jinx triggers Get Excited (Passive), takedowns on structures and champions give her a movement and attack speed boost. This works well with her switching weapons, as Switcheroo (S1) gives her AOE or fast single-target options. Meanwhile, Zap (S2) gives her a stun, while Flame Chompers (S3) is a rooting trap ability. Lastly, her Super Mega Death Rocket (Ultimate) is a devastating AOE that can take down Champions in fierce firefig

Looking at something like Team Fortress 2, that game's turret is like a bunker. If you put it down and have enough supplies, the opposing team can't get past it unless you have like, 18 people throwing their bodies at it, and the turret is killing people left and right. It's a very different experience than the turret we shipped in Valorant. What we always found most exciting about the turret is this feeling of setting up a crossfire of your own. Sorta like, "OK, somebody is going to attack this chokepoint, my turret [is] on the right-hand side, and I'll hold the left-hand side." So when they try to push through, the turret shoots first, and I can shoot them while they're distracted. Distraction was the concept. Not a turret that instantly and autonomously takes enemies down to zero hea
