If you thought the jungler was the only person in the game who could gank lanes, you’d be sorely mistaken. The mid lane’s convenience is the ability to help other lanes in desperate need, and coordinating with the jungler can lead to many other ki

Turbo Chemtank provides a balanced statline in terms of defensives, along with a fair bit of Ability Haste. This is combined with its active, Supercharged. Supercharged is similar to the Righteous Glory of old, only the user goes much faster and ignores unit collision. This item allows champions that just want to run fast, like Udyr, much more oppressive than they otherwise would

These items are in the same spot because, functionally, they serve the same purpose. Verdant Barrier is a new item that increases ability power and magic resist, while Seeker's does the same but with armor instead. They're both low-cost items, and can typically be completed on a first back by any control mage worth their s

Alternately you could follow this meme , made with some hilarious art by hiurro , of the teleporting Twisted Fate invading any lane he chooses. Simply put, if you see a floating ominous eyeball over your head, be ready for a man to explode out of some playing cards with the power of a Stand U

As part of his Guerilla Warfare abilities, Teemo is also granted momentary invisibility when inside the brush, Arena 2v2 as long as he remains within its boundaries. Players should be careful not to recall in an area where Teemo could be hiding, lest they find themselves getting ambus

For people who are competitive by nature, games like Apex Legends are inherently more fun when they're winning. In fact, the FPS game's matchmaking system works so that even the worst players can enjoy the thrill of getting kills and occasional wins. Dying less often means less time spent loading into games. And of course, there's always the satisfying feeling of seeing the "Champion" banner, which continues to excite me as much today as it did when I first started play

When it comes to improving your skill at League of Legends , it can be tough to utilize most advice players tend to give. Many higher-level players will give extremely detailed and confusing suggestions if you aren’t experienced, and others will give extremely timid words like "be caref

To be clear, there have absolutely been some significant upgrades in the Dota series over the years to keep up with changing technology and to make a smoother experience. The MOBA has had some fairly large overhauls, but at its core, this game is surprisingly similar in style and tone to how it originally appea

As a ranged character, Teemo is an easy counter to most melee champions. He is able to do a lot of poke damage out of range of the enemy's attacks. As such, many Top Lane melee mains, such as Garen players, despise Teemo Top Lan

The passive for Moonstone Renewer blesses a nearby ally with a heal on dealing damage to enemies. It also applies a heal on top of existing healing abilities. This includes all damage, like Brand's damage-over-time passive. This is a weak heal, but is on a short enough cooldown it applies multiple times during a fight. It also gets stronger the longer the user is in combat. A true Moonstone abuser will be able to sufficiently support their team and utilize the other cost-effective enchanter items, even on a midlaner's bud

In kicking off our first session, I explained to him that my main reason for hiring a coach was to gain a better understanding of the right moves during a fight. Using Discord’s screen-sharing feature, I shared a pre-recorded gameplay video with him and we walked through various fight scenar

Paying homage to the genre of Magical Girls, the "Star Guardian" line of skins reimagine champions in a scenario reminiscent of Sailor Moon . As an adventurer and explorer, Ezreal is at home within this thematic context, and cosplayer @pixelcosplay represents this iteration of the champion with stunning precis

For the most part, it’s fairly hard to believe when someone claims to be smurfing, meaning they claim to be playing on a lower ranked account than their normal one. These claims are nearly impossible to verify, and even a victorious game can hardly dictate whether they're telling the tr

One of the most annoying and potentially damaging things that can happen to a Jungler (whose Jungle got a recent XP buff) early-game is having their Red or Blue Buff stolen. Regardless of whether it happens on purpose or by accid

During one session, we discussed movement. Though I knew aiming down sights slowed the player down, I wasn’t aware that it did so by a massive 30 percent. He also gave me some tips on some easy-to-execute movement strategies the pros

This ability for the map to change in color, style, and shape was a magnificent upgrade for those who don't enjoy the stale base of Summoner's Rift. Having more or fewer walls or sometimes more foliage can also be a huge boon for different strategies. The game goes infinitely deeper in a direction few MOBAs tend to
