While Riot continued to improve events during Season 10, their quality and design went beyond what players had come to expect in the past few years. Specifically, the Spirit Blossom summer event implemented a visual novel experience instead of normal missions allowing players to bond and share some hilarious fourth-wall breaking moments with champions like Teemo. Additionally, after last year's feedback that event passes weren't worth their RP cost, the rewards for playing were significantly boosted. This culminated in the Worlds 2020 pass where over 1000 event tokens and 30 milestone prizes were guaranteed after enough matc

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

In League , Runes remain an extremely integral part of the game's core mechanics. After all, players of the PC game customize their Rune Page by choosing a Primary Path and a Secondary Path across five Paths that give various gameplay benefits. Under each Path are Keystone Runes and Lesser Runes that further diversify gameplay. This means Runes that Tahm Kench players use apply differently to other her

Riot Games has also temporarily removed POP Mart Arcane Blind Boxpicking in the Ranked Queue and instead rely on Draft Mode. While bans don't exist in this iteration of Wild Rift , the system will soon come into play once more champions get added to the mobile g

The plates for turrets no longer exist.

The outer protection for turrets in the lane and the base has been stripped away, making it far easier to push quickly and end the game. Between this change and the map size, games are reduced in length somewhat substantia

When Riot Games released League of Legends back in 2009, it had instantly become a MOBA sensation. After all, its unique take on Champions and the "traditional" way of duking it out in an arena had changed the way MOBAs look today. However, it seems Riot Games plans to do the same for the mobile MOBA market with League of Legends: Wild Rift . This time around, Riot appears to want to show mobile MOBA players what a League conversion would look like in a smaller, portable platf

Essentially, _ Wild Rift _ now comes with an enemy lock system that auto-locks an enemy Champion that players attack. This makes combos much easier to pull off. Moreover, the mobile MOBA also features camera assist for long-ranged abilities. This picture-in-picture feature makes it much easier to control the skillshot’s trajec

When choosing items to use to build Malphite, players should focus on the composition of the other team and select items that will help counteract their abilities. For example, when an opposing team has high Attack Damage, players may want to get Thornmail armor for Malphite, which will return a portion of their damage back to them. If the enemy team contains a lot of champions who can deal heavy magical damage, players will want to outfit Malphite with gear that improves defense against magical attacks. In addition, items that increase AD or AP, attack speed, HP, Mana, and magical resistance are generally good choices for Malph

Riot Games has made the effort to work around this classic setup, moving the map so it can be seen and not hidden under your left thumb while simultaneously giving your right thumb access to abilities and activatable items without having to move your h

So several buttons have been added that instruct your champion to behave in a certain way. However, your moves will still be targeted and anything vectored will be used as a simple click and drag instead of an auto-tar

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 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

While Season 10 wasn't perfect, it brought plenty of positive changes and laid the foundation for future improvements Riot Games will continue to make. For now, players should have received their end of Season 10 rewards and can take a well-deserved break from solo queue. Otherwise, the preseason has drastically shaken up the item system and experimenting now could lead to early ranked success when Season 11 officially begins in Janu
