In Season 11, Riot took a sledgehammer to the entire shop, breaking it down and rebuilding it. The items of the past are gone. With a smarter shop and a whole collection of new items, the game has changed drastically. Unlike in the past, there aren't too many items that are downright awful. Of course, there are still some that are bad, even if they are situationally use The champions who have made it over have received various buffs and nerfs based on these new changes. So if you've really got y...

Conversely, there's some mental math involved with the more challenging characters to understand if you've succeeded. If you're playing Breach, and you shoot a flash through a wall, and you swing around the corner, and nobody is there, you're like, "well, did it work? I don't know!" Then as you play the game more, you realize; actually, that's a huge success; there's nobody there. "I got this ground, they're not here now" — there's a bunch of those mental gymnastics you need to go through to und...

This, of course, does change the dynamic about ganking quite a bit. Vision wards are more critical to success than ever since it's relatively easy for a player to gank another lane before the opponent notices they're miss Brand has always been a strong mage because of his burning passive, and Liandry's Torment was a necessary item for him because it applied even more burning on his spells. His new core item is Liandry's Anguish, which also burns enemies, except this time it damages them accordin...

Players who want to train on using Assassins and more complex kits would appreciate Master Yi. Despite his rather flexible nature, Master Yi's kit remains simple enough for beginners to play around with. For instance, his Double Strike (Passive) enables him to strike twice in some basic attacks. However, players might soon realize that depending on their item , Master Yi's Wuju Style (S3) gives bonus true damage on basics that, combined with Double Strike, can deal devastating damage without usi...

Kayle is one of the strongest late-game champions in League of Legends with a win rate of 53% and a ban rate of 8%, omnipresent due to her incredible late game scaling and solo carry potential. It's no surprise that she seems to have another nerf coming her way, as reported in the version 10.25 patch no Who's to say League of Legends players are going to come out in droves for Ruined King ? Plenty of players have jumped on the Valorant train, but that's not exactly a direct correlation to League...

Riot Games has made the effort to work around this classic setup, moving the map so it can be seen and not hidden under your left thumb while simultaneously giving your right thumb access to abilities and activatable items without having to move your h Yi's Alpha Strike allows him to attack multiple targets while also making him untargetable, and when he uses his ultimate, his Alpha Strike refreshes after every kill or assist. Thanks to Duskblades' passive, Yi can also go invisible for 1.5 secon...

Nunu & Willump have a win rate of 52% with a ban rate of about 3%. While they provide game-changing mobility and the ability to contest neutral objectives with ease, Nunu & Willump lack significant late-game damage due to their tanky build path. Luckily, taking objectives wins games and they are unmatched in that departm When his E is combined with his ultimate or W (which slows), he can unload massive damage, and it deals even more damage if he has Luden's Tempest. This Mythic allows Viktor to ...

The stats the Serpent's Fang gives aren't exactly fantastic, especially compared to the other, better lethality items. The main thing the Serpent's Fang provides is the ability to deal bonus damage to shields. Against enchanters and tanks that thrive on shields, it can be a nice item. However, building an item for one character just feels awful, especially when the efficiency of the item is so It's not always easy to do a cinematic trailer right. When it comes to the reveal of a game, fans can ...
