The Biggest League of Legends Offseason Roster Moves of 2020

ADC/Marksman: ADC stands for attack, damage, carry. This role is responsible for dishing out damage to the enemy team. While these roles can attack and kill pretty easily, they are also one of the weakest in terms of defense. Using gold (gold will be mentioned later) the Marksman can become stron

The 2020 League of Legends Spring Split has come and gone. Cloud9 won North America, G2 Esports won Europe's title, T1 took home the LCK Championship and JD gaming character Handedness won the honors in China's LPL. The split was a wild ride for fans and teams across the globe, from Konstantinos-Napoleon "FORG1VEN" Tzortziou controversially stepping down from FC Schalke 04 to Team Liquid benching Yiliang "Doublelift" Peng , to COVID-19 throwing a giant wrench into it

Here's how League of Legends games work out. Two teams of Five are to face off against each other on the map, Summoner's Rift. The player then will select champions to take control of for the match. Currently, the game has over 140 characters, each one with their own unique abilities and skills. In order to win the game, the team must destroy the enemy team's base. The challenges lie in seeing who can do this first while killing each other and protecting their own base. Also, champions can be leveled up in games and become stronger by earning experience and gold. One team will eventually fall behind and the other will be victorious. Sounds simple enough. Although, there's a lot of consideration when playing a game of League of Legends , especially when selecting a champion. Each game can be vastly different due to the difference in each champion. Let's start with choosing a r

Similar to the League of Legends cancellation, the Overwatch League also saw delays , as the February and March matches in China have also been cancelled due to concerns of the Wuhan Coronavirus. Both of these cancelled events will surely impact both Blizzard and Riot, as these esports leagues tend to draw in massive crowds for both the present audience, as well as online. However, it's likely the esports players and teams that will likely be feeling these delays the hardest, as their livelihoods are built on their performance and sponsorsh

Cosmic and Dark Cosmic Lux are both Legendary skins that are variants of each other. Similar to Dawnbringer and Nightbringer Soraka, they are not package deals, but single skins each. Both cosmetics feature outer space vibes, black holes, and planetary aspects. The only difference is that Cosmic Lux consists of blue, white, and purple hues, while Dark Cosmic Lux is much warmer and features purple, pink, yellow, and orange shades. Both skins are legendary tiered cosmetics and will go for 1820 RP, which also makes it the last skin tier for Lux. And makes Lux the first champion to receive a skin in every skin t

Tank: It sounds exactly like what it is. The Tank roll requires players to take in all the heavy damage since they have a higher defense. They can also help control crowds with support. This role focuses on taking down the enemy team Marksman and holding them in place while the rest of the team arrives so they can kill them toget

In a game of League of Legends, there are 1 of 5 roles players can take on, each with their own function in-game. These are what each role can accomplish. It's recommended to try each roll to find what fits comfortably with the player. Also, as its a team-based game, it's important to consider what role is needed for the team to succeed in bat

League of Legends is a team-based game. There's absolutely no way around out. Working together with other players and properly selecting the roles the team needs is essential to emerging victoriously. It's important to communicate with the team as well. For example, if the team is rushing one specific section of Summoners Rift, that needs to be communicated. There's a reason why these roles exist, as each one picks up the slack of the others. One bad apple can ruin the entire game. As a new player, it's recommended to begin playing as each role until one feels like the right fit. Once it clicks, grind with that character until the player sees improvem

This offseason has definitelyhad its fun and crazy moments, but fans are ready to watch their teams get back to the action. With the Summer Split set to kick-0ff mid June, League of Legends fans will have to wait on the edge of their seats until t

Similar to the Animal Crossing: New Horizons delay, the PS5 and Xbox Series X are both manufactured in China, and with a lot of manufacturing grinding to a halt, this could effect the availability of the systems when they launch later this year. The extent of what these manufacturing delays might mean is still yet to be seen, as neither Sony nor Microsoft has come out to address any delays they may be currently suffering from. As a result, this might be a similar situation to the launch of the Nintendo Switch, which saw consoles flying off the shelf faster than the company could hope to stock t
