League of Legends: Looking Back at Season 10

League of Legends: Looking Back at Season 10

Moving forward, new champion releases shouldn't clash so closely with one another. Yone's debut heavily eclipsed Lillia's earlier arrival despite players knowing both would come out during the summer event. Furthermore, Seraphine's social media may have been planned months in advance, but this greatly took away from Samira who seemed like an afterthought. However, this year's schedule can largely be attributed to the shift cause by COVID-19, and it shouldn't be a sign that 2021 will continue an erratically slow or fast p

While it can be hard to hear that two-thirds of the heroes won't be making the jump from League of Legends to Wild Rift, it's really for the best. Certain characters would be overpowered due to smaller maps and weaker towers. Others would be almost useless with the new contr

Pro gamers know that beefing up their clicks per second is indicative of having control over their avatars. But if that same concept were applied to a mobile game, observers might think you were playing an idle tap

Despite the unique challenges presented by quarantine and working from home, Riot kept improving the quality of content for releases this year. Looking back at League of Legends ' Season 10 , there are plenty of successes but also lessons to be learned as the game moves forward into Season

The final superhero movie of 2021 comes from Sony and Marvel Studios. Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker aka Spider-Man for Spider-Man: Homecoming 3 , which does not have an official title yet. The film features the MCU return of Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and is rumored to include several other Marvel characters from previous non-MCU movies. Most notably, it has been reported Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield will both appear as their versions of Spider-Man. These plot details are not confirmed, but Jamie Foxx's return as Electro and Alfred Molina's as Doc Ock have been reported by reputable sources. Spider-Man: Homecoming 3 is directed by Jon Watts and has a December 17, 2021 release d

The bombastic yeti Nunu and his mischievous partner Willump run around Summoners Rift consuming every objective on the map, before flying into lanes at mach speed delivering heat-seeking snowballs and crowd control galore. Nunu & Willump can be an extremely difficult champion to deal with, due to their ability to contest neutral objectives. Nunu & Willump also take advantage of badly positioned laners due to an obscene amount of crowd cont

A prophecy states that Aatrox will destroy all life by himself, and under normal circumstances he and Kratos would probably kill each other, but if he enters his demonic form, he will gain an advantage because he will receive extra damage, movement speed, and heal

Rylai's Crystal Scepter allows Ahri to apply a slow with every damaging ability and spell in her toolkit. Because of this effect, each damaging ability and spell now becomes a trigger for Imperial Mandate's passive. While these items go hand-in-hand, the Void Staff is another item that fits into this Ahri build because of its increase to ability power and enormous increase in magic penetration. Do not forget to round off the build with Sorcerer's Shoes and a Zhonya's Hourgl

Swain is the textbook example of a support carry. In the lowest 3 tiers, he has a win rate of around 55% with an overall ban rate of 15%. He utilizes a sustain damage kit that provides simultaneous burst damage. He is a threat throughout most stages of the match, but especially in the early game, when he utilizes a long-range snare that pulls enemies closer to him to initiate some heavily favored all-

The number of new champions this year may be lower than usual, but they can be considered successful for different reasons. Each one maintains a good play rate in certain roles, with Sett distinctly being flexed as a top, jungle, and even support in some regions. However, their backstories also expand the world of Runeterra whether it's giving more details of various city-states or continuing to make lore-heavy characters into champions such as Kai'Sa or Project K TCG Senna previously. Seraphine's full reveal may have disappointed some players after the massive build-up, but her unique marketing approach release shows that Riot still has many new ideas to promote future champion relea

The fast-moving, bullet-bouncing, sniper-esque virtuoso boasts a win rate of 53% and is banned in about 19% of low division ranked games. Jhin is the poster boy of playing patiently, utilizing his kit to chain crowd control with his support before following up with an onslaught of ranged abilities and attacks. Jhin is a relatively safe pick and does not require mechanical expertise to pilot w

The champions who have made it over have received various buffs and nerfs based on these new changes. So if you've really got your heart set on a personal favorite who isn't there now, don't despair. Odds are good that Riot Games is reworking them so that they'll fit in better somewhere down the r
