"This is my dream, honestly," said Fabian, who also emphasizes that he’s a very competitive video game player. In fact, at one point he was a top 20-ranked Clash Royale player and even made decent money as a coach during that time. "The idea of having this platform where the best players in the world across every game are all in one place, that's the coolest thi
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
The commando theme didn't change too much about the champion apart from art changes and animation changes. Some fans noted the similarity to Big Boss from the Metal Gear Solid series. The skin's stealth qualities are appealing, but it's calling in the air strike that really feels c

Championships are played on the live patch, and Riot has release a minor patch in anticipation of the Fates Championship next month to bring the game into a more balanced st
Many players new to the game are overwhelmed by the sheer number of champions available in League of Legends . It is perfectly natural to try out a variety of champions when getting started , but eventually, it is important to put more focus on a select few and establish a "ma

Since each Championship will likely happen at the end of each set, the Teamfight Tactics esports scene is already able to differentiate itself from the League of Legends esports scene . After the success of the Galaxies Championship, Riot Games decided to invest more in the upcoming Fates Championship by increasing both the player pool and the prize offerings. The Fates Championship will feature 24 competitors hoping to win a piece of the $250,000 prize p
When taking a break from college, Goerge "HotShotGG" Georgallidis decided to play League of Legends. The sudden desire to try out the game came after playing DotA -- a game that made him realize he liked the MOBA genre. HotShotGG soon grew to be one of the best League of Legends players in the world atlas lol which caused him to drop out of college in order to become a professional pla
Veigar is a simple champion; you just keep building AP and press R to obliterate your mid-lane competition . But great power comes at a great cost to the tune of 1820 RP for this 8-bit inspired skin. Many fans felt (and still feel) that it's one of the coolest skins in the g
