NovemberLeague of Legends: Why The Ruined King is Season 11's Big Story Villain
During the first patch of the preseason, the marksman mythic items were a bit sad. They were bad enough that many marksmen opted into going lethality to synergize with The Collector. After some adjustments, however, they've started to gain some serious power. It's arguable which one is the best, but Galeforce is the most well-rounded opt
Moreover, a radical difference in _ Wild Rift _ would be the adjusted toolkits (and sometimes, the complete retooling) of some of these Champions. For instance, Champions no longer have passives while Katarina can move during her Death Lotus. Devs made this choice in order to accommodate the mobile version’s more fast-paced gameplay, and to "convert" mouse-only mechanics to a touch-friendly for
Karma is an interesting case because she was able to fight off her initial possession in the cinematic only to be Ruined once more off-screen. On the other hand, Draven and Shyvana show the Black Mist reached much farther than the on-screen areas of Noxus, Ionia, and Demacia. While this opens the door for many older champions to get their first skin in years , it is another way to bring those who are unrelated to the Shadow Isles conflict or had their initial stories finished back into lore relevance. With many players fearing the ultimate fate of their favorite champions, hopefully they can be freed from the Ruined King's grasp in due t
While it's still unknown whether these next three releases will aid or oppose the Ruined King, future champions will be much more involved in the overarching story rather than just staying in their home regions. Additionally, this opens the way for even more lore characters to become champions which Riot expressed a renewed interest in doing for the past few ye
In exchange, players can choose only one active effect as a boots enchantment. However, unlike Summoner’s Rift , the unique active effect mechanic will open new gameplay opportunities for champions. For instance, Zhonya’s Hourglass might not have its stasis passive, but it’s become an active effect equippable to a pair of bo
Ahri's Charm is her most important initiating tool. The ability slows down the enemy target and applies a 20% bonus to all incoming damage. Pay close attention to hitting the enemy champion though, as the ability can also hit minions. Most important is Ahri's ultimate, Spirit Rush. This ability adds a whole new realm of mobility to the character. Use it to track down and finish off injured foes or escape. The ability has 3 charges if used within a 10 second period of the first cast (these abilities are a little different than those in League of Legends ' mobile counterpart, Combat Tips Wild Rif
The Doom Eternal launch trailer does everything a launch trailer needs to. It shows frenetic gameplay, it is high on the action, and of course, because it is Doom , it also has over-the-top metal music. Another fun thing about the game is that it didn't exclusively launch in March, because Doom Eternal is now available on the Nintendo Swit
Looking back, the Deathloop gameplay trailer is eye-catching because of what how much of the game it seems to capture. First, it highlights one of the more interesting gameplay loops in any trailer of the year. The story and the gameplay itself will all be wrapped into the loop that the player goes through, which each death seemingly restarting a "run" of the game. It can be tricky to persuade fans about a product and tell the story of what the title is all about with a simple trailer, but the Deathloop gameplay reveal does just t
Some of the best trailers are of comical and whimsical nature, and the Bugsnax announcement trailer took the internet by storm when it dropped. The premise of the game is explained very quickly, and it just seems too wonky to even be true. Bugs are made up of food, said bugs can be eaten, and those who eat the Bugsnax bugs start to transform into the food itself. All of this is shown with a few hotdog jokes and funny remarks, but more importantly, the theme song that plays over the trailer is extremely catchy. If there is a reward for most unique trailer of the year, Bugsnax likely runs away with
Luden's Tempest saw a buff after season 10 that many players were asking for. Before patch 10.25, players complained that the item did not provide enough Ability Haste compared to other items. The latest change has given the item an increase to Ability Haste. With the rework, the item is much more viable now when compared to other gear in the same price ra
Shurelya's Reverie was a long-time staple of the game's active items. It served as the ultimate "Go" button for entire teams to engage, and plenty of characters like Rakan made great use of its active ability. Shurelya's was upgraded to Mythic status as a support option , giving bonus additional movement speed as the Mythic passive. It even allows allies to deal bonus damage, so what's not to l
Imperial Mandate was one of the many items affected by the recent changes. However, the change is simultaneously a nerf and buff to its viability. While the item saw a drastic reduction in its base damage, it saw an even more drastic improvement to its ally damage output. The cost was also reduced, making it an even more feasible team fight component than ever before. While Ahri may not be the most powerful champion in League according to the lore, she fights her way to the top with these new changes. Imperial Mandate's mark effect is only applied when using an ability that slows or immobilizes the target. With the aim of applying this mark more frequently, the goal is to slow or immobilize more frequen![]()
