His capacity to outplay at higher ranks is severely limited as his kit necessitates repetition — especially in a meta where popular champions like Athelios, Sett, and Graves (to name a few) can be very malleable and situatio

Legends of Runeterra, Riot Game's digital card game based in the world of League of Legend s, released its latest update on October 15, introducing 40 new collectible cards, including 3 champions, as well as a variety of new features and content across the game. The new cards come with a wide array of interesting characters and beautiful art to ma

In his next appearance, "Warden’s Prey," players learn that a far worse fate would come to the Aristocrat in the form Thresh, the chain warden. In Warden’s Prey, fans see the Hapless Aristocrat hiding in a graveyard from Thresh, the tormentor of souls. It’s unclear whether or not the Aristocrat would manage to avoid Thresh’s chains and escape the Shadow Isles. Maybe playerscan expect a follow up to the Aristocrat’s story in later expansions, and hopefully, he could catch a much-needed br

It’s an odd thing to say that a card game has a main character, but if Legends of Runeterra were to have one, Cithria would no doubt be this game’s star. Cithria of Cloudfield makes multiple appearances in three different card arts, with each of her appearances showing her progression through the ranks of the Demacian a

His previous ultimate where he turned to stone and cc’ed/damaged nearby enemies was extremely useful late Moba Game Champions once getting Zhonya's Hourglass. It could incapacitate all the right enemies so a Katarina, Akali, or Darius could bop around annihilating people. Though Galio’s new kit has more utility, his ultimate feels like a weaker Stand United from Shen and his other abilities feel like watered-down versions of his past ones. That said, the rework did remove the "flash taunt" move which most players regarded as super bro

Volibear's strengths become apparent as an aggressive, all-in-type champion. If his team is not on the same page as him, his all-in dives become problematic, and can lose his team the game. Teams need to be careful when picking Volibear, as he's not a champion that belongs in every team composit

Week 3 saw the battle for first place as well as the battle of G2 and Fnatic happen, but get this: they were different games. Mad Lions currently lead the way in the LEC with a 6-1 record through three weeks. Rouge are one game behind them while four teams are tied for the third place spot behind Ro

Last but certainly not least, there's the story of Tyari, the tale of a group of travelers braving the intense climb of mount Targon. These cards were released as part of the Call of the Mountain expansion back in August. The story begins in "Gift Giver," where a kind woman is seen giving a group of climbers necklaces made of gems that are to protect them on their ascent up the mount

As sad as it may be, accepting the reality of the situation is the first step of starting the next chapter for fans. But don't fret, there is hope. OG revealed last year that a new Dota 2 minor branched team would take its place at the backline of its active roster, the team is called OG Seed. OG Seed recently participated this month at Maincast Winter Brawl and placed second. This initial step could promise new takeovers for the active roster line in the future if they do w

Turns out lady Elise had other plans for our poor Hapless Aristocrat. The next part of the story takes place within Elise’s Champion art , where she leads him to a dark cave and reveals her true form to him, that of a giant spider. However, this would not be the end of the Hapless Aristocrat, as somehow he escaped Elise’s mansion and avoided becoming her din

Although the top team is up for debate, Mad Lions are currently the best performing team in European League of Legends . Just a split ago, they were a group of five rookies, and they've since transformed into potentially the most synchronous team in the

Garen's early game is reliant on his kit's simple and effective trading pattern. First, basic attack an enemy, then use Decisive Strike to quickly attack them again. While the enemy is silenced and you are right on top of them, use Judgement to deal a ton of damage. When Judgement is over or the target is no longer silenced, activate Courage to block any incoming damage while you retreat away from the target. Repeating this pattern over and over again is a great way to lane effectively as a Garen. Courage and Garen's healing passive, Perseverance, basically ensure that Garen will come out on top of every trade because he can easily recover the damage his opponent has dealt to him while his opponent may not. At around level 6, Garen can even begin to do his trading pattern under the enemy Turret safely, granted the Turret only hits him once or twice. Judgment and Decisive Strike are also great abilities for securing lots of last hits on minions. Last hitting minions serve a double purpose for Garen as it provides gold as well as passive resistance so be sure to focus on it during the early and mid-game. Spamable abilities and no Manacost are a deadly combination of Garen which should be exploited as much as possible. Unlike many other Champions, Garen doesn't have to suffer from having low Mana so he doesn't need to worry about using Decisive Strike and Judgement sparingly. Instead, he can unleash his fury every time the abilities are off cooldown, which is why you should build items to further decrease the cooldown. The biggest weakness of Garen's playstyle is being kited, which means to have your abilities wasted because the enemy can successfully outrun them. Instead, build movement speed and use bushes to your advantage. Also, save your abilities until you are already in close quarters with an enemy. On the other hand, Garen is great for baiting because he can use his movement speed to lead enemies into ambush positions. He can then use Courage to block incoming bursts and escape crowd control effects which can stall long enough for his team to arrive and back him up. Garen can also cause enemies to waste their mana or powerful abilities on him by using them only to have Garen block the damage and promptly heal it back. You can also cancel Judgement early by activating it again, which is good if you know you can just quickly confirm a kill with your Ultimate or a Decisive Strike. Conserve Courage for big burst abilities or whenever a lot of damage is incoming, also save it for when you're baiting enemies. Overall, build damage resistance and movement speed to be a great tank while also reducing cooldowns in order to deal mass amounts of damage frequen
