Once considered the most well-known North American player, Yiliang "Peter" Peng played for CLG, TSM, www.Lolgo.Cc and Team Liquid. Although he was primarily known for being amazing with Blitzcrank, Poppy, and Lee Sin, it was his bot lane performance that made him the amazing player he became. As an AD Carry, he was one of the best in his region, but certain things have always held him b

The rush of getting a kill in League of Legends is a tempting reason to rush past enemy towers and chase down an opponent. No matter how many kills a player gets, though, they are weighed down by the number of deaths they have endu

Teleporting back to base when at low health or low mana seems like a waste of time, but it will save the headache of respawning and allows players to buy new items and upgrades as their opponent respa

Maintaining a presence in the lane is one thing, but staying too long is an often fatal mistake. After chasing down an opponent and killing them, many beginners will push towers while at low health, because there is no one there to challenge them.

Hong "MadLife" Min-gi was once considered one of the best players ever of League of Legends and is currently a streamer for Hanwha Life Esports.

Like many other competitive players, Stephen "Snoopeh" Ellis bounced around a bit during his relatively brief career. His break into stardom happened when he signed with CLG EU in 2011, but he made a name for himself under Evil Geniuses (EG).

This meant it was a must-run , and while this pair of boots left with all the other Summoner Spell boots, it could easily have been the most popular item in the game if it were left to run its course. Thankfully, these tiny shoes have yet to see the light of day si

TPA qualified for 2012 Worlds by clean sweeping every single team in Taiwan during the Season 2 Regionals in Taipei. Coming into the 2012 World Championship they were viewed as the dark horse of the tournament with most analysts predicting lackluster results considering their prior show game loss to CLG

In 2016, the new SKT T1 roster consisting of Duke, bengi/Blank, Faker, Bang, and Wolf got off to an electric start. The team absolutely demolished the LCK 2016 Spring Split before winning the playoffs and eventually taking the Mid-Season Invitational . In the 2016 Summer Split, the team showed the same dominance but fell short when playoffs rolled aro

The Hex Core wasn't inherently a bad item idea though, as it provided surprising mana regeneration and AP for its cost. It was somewhat bland to always force the item first to ensure Viktor could keep up with his opponents, but it was certainly an interesting idea and fun for those who wanted one less item to think ab
