Canadas went on to explain that I should think of the game in terms of a mathematical give-and-take system of Valorant Points price increase. He noted how I should continuously note damage dealt versus damage sustained, and this should impact my decisions to push or withd

When asked about the platform's target audience, he told me that all types of people seek coaching for games via Metafy. Some examples include a 70-year-old who wants to improve at chess and 14-year-olds who want to defeat their friends at the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Further, he noted that some parents seek coaching just so they can play games more effectively with their k

The fact that it's still going to this day is amazing -- especially given how fervent and active the competitive scene still is. It's a living part of history that's great for all sorts of gamers who want something challenging, classic, and beautifully polis

The only downside to Dota 2 is that it isn't the freshest and, even though it's free, finding random people to join you is much harder due to its slightly more cult-like audience. League of Legends didn't start the genre, but it proved how successful it could be. The game has expanded massively among both casual and competitive play

In the same vein as Arcade Sona and subsequent skins in this line, Arcade Hecarim had new animations, particle effects, and sounds. Though the horse reaper doesn't get as much play as he used to, the skin remains one of the coolest Riot has ever released. However, Hecarim's not the only horse in the game

This means the game is almost always fresh and returning to it after a year or two means you'll likely not be experiencing something similar to when you originally played. It's an entirely new world with new looks and new gameplay, but the same base goal of destroying towers and defending la

It should be obvious, but competitive gamers often need to be reminded of one simple fact: being uncooperative and aggressive towards teammates is the quickest path to defeat. Remember that the team functions as a unit and that while teammates might be on different skill levels, that's not an excuse to be toxic towards th

Although SKT T1 had beaten Royal Club in the 2013 Worlds finals, the renamed Star Horn Royal Club and their marksman, Uzi, were back with a vengeance. Star Horn Royal Club and their refreshed roster decimated NaJin White Shield in the quarter-finals before beating OMG in the semi-finals. This meant taking them to consecutive Worlds fin

FunPlus Phoenix completely overhauled their roster going into the 2019 season by adding Doinb and Tian to the team. The new roster consisted of GimGoon, Tian, Doinb, LWX, and Crisp who absolutely dominated the LPL in their first year together as a team. Going into 2019 Worlds, FunPlus Pheonix had a relatively shaky group stage performance putting up a 4 - 2 rec

The support role has easily seen the most significant changes in terms of item selections, but there are a few that affect nearly every mage class equally. The prime example of this is the Mana Manipulator, an inexpensive advanced item using two Fairy Charms to generate more mana regenerat

Further, it feels good knowing my money is going directly to the coach, allowing them to continue doing what they love. While revenue from tournaments, streaming, and YouTube can help, most players won’t be able to live off of those sources of income alone. Coaching provides them another opportunity to gain income for their years of hard w

League of Legends is essentially a game of attrition, at its core. The goal is not to take on opponents head-on, but rather to collect resources, XP, and slowly but surely crawl ahead of the enemy team. Each champion in the team takes their place in one of three lanes (or the jungle) and collects XP and gold from fallen enemy mobs while taking out that lane's defensive tow

Most of the game is spent outside of team fights, which might come as a surprise to new players. Many competitive games focus solely on a good kill/death ratio, or pitch players against each other in fast-paced combat. Understanding that League of Legends is a blend of PvP and long-term strategy is key to avoiding simple mista

Vision wards are an incredible tool that beginners tend to avoid. They are relatively cheap to buy, easy to use, and give the player's team a major advantage if used correctly. Vision wards serve best when hidden from view, in bushes, and in enemy territ

Feeding the enemy team only serves to bolster their XP and gold, so it is always better to let an enemy teleport to the base than to chase them down. A champion with 3 kills and 0 deaths is doing far, far better than a champion with 6 kills and 5 deaths, after

We also went over the details of each gun. I never realized the game’s gun stock attachments also allow the player to aim down sights faster, and that some heavier weapons such as the Spitfire have an added movement penalty beyond the standard ones for equipping weapons and aiming down sights. These are things most casual players won’t quickly pick up by playing the game because they aren’t shared in the training or instructional information. We also went over recoil patterns and he suggested taking some time to memorize th
