Then there's the issue of how you spend your time in each match. Since those matches are shorter, seconds in Wild Rift are more precious than ever. Pre-made item sets have been a feature in the PC version of League for years, but you'll definitely want to embrace them in Wild Rift if you aren't already in the habit. There's not enough time for you to sit at the shop, sorting and searching for what item you want to equip to your champion n

Sick of trying to figure out how to counter your enemy's pick? Then try Rubick, he can't beat them so he just copied them. That's pretty much what the Grand Magus is in a nutshell. Rubick, for that matter, is a support hero and needs plenty of protection early g

Lina, the Slayer, has gone far as one of the most standard DPS mages in the DOTA franchise. She remains the same pyromaniac who can nuke the battlefield several times over and is thus an in-demand hero in the current m

@mar_ruda's traditional Miss Fortune Cosplay captures both the style and environment of the prodigious bounty hunter. The mercenary stands on the docks, "Shock" and "Awe" brandished with quiet confidence, with an assured and practiced patience as she awaits her next s

At one point, this spot would have been occupied by Anti-Mage, but there is a new mana-burner in town with more utility and greater burst damage that still carries games. Nyx Assassin has essentially filled the Anti-Mage role and added onto

Cosplayer @kim_on_the_rocks takes a few liberties with her cosplay, electing to combine Miss Fortune's traditional outfit with something much more Bewitching; the result is an impressive and dynamic take on the character that showcases just how interesting her Halloween inspired skin's weapons are. Lit and ready for battle, "Shock" and "Awe" as candles don't seem particularly threatening, but the backdrop—what looks to be a desolate, tornado ravished scene reminiscent of The Wizard of Oz —screams "pandemonium," which instills the pistols-turned-wax with a sense of contextual wickedness and hostil

Buy wards and it's a money drain that favors the other team. Carry gems and everyone has to group up and hurt their own experience. If everybody carries a gem, it's an item slot that could have been used for something else. Plus, he can always farm until gems are dropped and wards wear

Of course, Strength-type DPS heroes also exist and Rizzrack or Timbersaw has proven that such a combination can strike fear into the hearts of the enemy. A competent Timbersaw player can bag some Double or Triple Kills quite easily if they're lucky eno

Every rookie makes a certain collection of mistakes. It's not their fault, it's just that Dota 2 isn't like any other standard video game out there. It's not enough to be a gamer, one has to think of it as a combination of an athlete and a chess master. Those looking to improve on their game should take a look at what they need to change. And there is no need to feel guilty about it, everybody who plays the game has committed the same errors when they were learn

As you can imagine, he doesn't play conventionally like most DOTA 2 heroes. He can function as somewhat of a tank by shifting in and out of existence. You have to make use of these tactically though as they can also double as his damage abilit

The entire goal of the game for opposing teams is to stop this hero from getting a Blink Dagger. If they can't, then it's only a matter of time before a Black Hole hits the entire team. Those smart enough to stay apart become easy fodder for Enigma's friendly carr

Like the usual ranged-Strength-type hero, Snapfire might seem unfair and any opponent killed by her and Mortimer, her dragon toad might agree. Snapfire and Mortimer focus on providing large blankets of area damage while also keeping the pressure on enemy teams with area stun abilities. The fact that it's a ranged hero is just a bonus but nevertheless makes her more evas

Another popular ganker who's also notorious when left unchecked by the enemy team is Enchantress. She's a ranged Intelligence hero who also thrives well in the jungle, staying true to her aesthetic theme. Enchantress can easily push on her own thanks to an ability that lets her charm enemy cre

New items will join the fray, too. In particular, Riot is prioritizing items for tanks. You'll see the addition of Frozen Heart, Force of Nature, Sunfire Aegis, and Sheen in these upcoming patches. As Wild Rift stands, it's missing several classic items from League of Legends, and Riot will slowly add those in with new champi

The pot for Esports keeps getting bigger , so players that want a piece of the prize will need to pay attention to the heroes that are trending up and down. Look at heroes with high win rates and figure out how to both play with them and counter t
