Learn From The Pros: 30 Things Every League Of Legends Player Needs To Know

Another couple of pieces on the collectible item list is the Broken Pirate Sword, complete with a stylish Tricorn Hat. To snag these items, you'll need to head just South of Saint Denis, to the small cluster of islands nearby. Keep an eye out for alligators as you search for an old and mostly destroyed boat that's washed up on the shore. Sticking out of the boat is--you guessed it--the Broken Pirate Sword, entirely usable as a melee wea

You know how we control the champions in League of Legends ? Well, someone has to control the monsters, right? You didn’t think they were NPCs, did you? It’s true that minions feed, dragons are in a lot of fights, and Baron is The Rift’s Most Wanted. In visit their website world, they are victims who must watch their own backs or be attacked by potentially ten people at once! That’s scary for the poor dragon who is in the middle of a team fight. All he can do is fight them off for a few seconds before he’s completely destroyed and his brethren must take his pl

class=Timers exist for a major reason in the game with one of them being to secure every objective in the game. It can set the difference between a good and a bad player. Every pro player focuses on objectives (macro) rather than micro gameplay. The pro teams don’t focus on the fights unless they need to secure the objectives; it’s what makes you win the game and it is best if you stick to a guide or at least press TAB to view when the drake or baron nashor will be spawning (in game-minions). Be attentive and as soon as the objectives are up, stay close to your teammate to secure if you think you

There’s this ongoing joke about how Garen likes bushes more than anyone. He will literally sit in the brush all game, waiting for unsuspecting victims. This joke is used for countless comics and memes and I think this one does it the most justice. It’s a perfect picture of what goes on. ADC runs from Jungler and hides in a bush. A bush that is occupied by a lazy top laner who is watching the game from the sidelines. Likely on a live televis

The Red Dead franchise succeeds because it's playing into the most American fantasies of what the Wild West was, while keeping it grounded. It was a time were America was still getting its footing as a new nation. Things were being discovered by a people who had largely still never seen most of what the land had to offer, thus appropriately titled, the Wild West. It seemed like a hellish dreamscape where those from the east coast talked of savages and wild beast, men who idealized the same sort of lawlessness discussed among certain circles. Yet, it was none of these things, for a people having just arrived to a nation, it was much tamer than one might imagine. Instead, it was a place not overly populated and begging for people to settle its lands (I hope we see Natives in this game). The west was a place of opportunity and discovery, somewhere one could make their mark in a relatively easy way (for the time).

Every great player or a legend has a plan or tactic up his sleeve. You should always plan out your next move on how to secure the objective or an elimination, it doesn't always work but sometimes even a calculated setup can help you achieve a lot. For example, by reviewing your previous game you can see the whole scenario you had in mind, whether it worked out or not and where did you make the mistake or how can you improve yourself overall. Simple things such as warding in the right places can help your team a lot which adds to macro pl

Unfortunately, GTAV felt a little too cliché. This is where I get nervous that Red Dead Redemption 2 might lean too heavily on certain tropes. I would much rather see an American western tale that resembles a classic, opposed to a film that has been rebooted as of this year. I do not need a game with big set pieces, explosions and more ammunition falling than the leaves on the trees. I’m going to make one more recommendation of the west I envision opposed to the west presented by Hollywood: the Lonesome Dove series puts on the glitz of western tropes while also doing a great job explaining how people lived at the time. This is more in the style that would be preferred in Red Dead Redemption 2. A game where cowboys are cowboys, people are living by the land they’ve settled and getting along fine with the natives. Yes, there were some bad Tribes, but mostly few and far between.

Every opponent or player has their own way of warding, ganking and a certain pattern to what they do. Once you analyze the approach they are taking you can easily counter them. However, sometimes it goes the other way around as most people in higher ranked matches do not respect the lane behavior of their opponents which results in them losing the game itself or tilting. While playing their favorite heroes, specifically ones that have a power spike at a certain level, you need respect that because players can abuse them to gain an advantage. Basically, you need to understand your opponent and his playing style in order to be ah
