League of Legends: Looking Back at Season 10

League of Legends: Looking Back at Season 10

Unlike _ Summoner’s Rift _ , _ Wild Rift _ accommodates mobile phones thanks to its smaller and more compact maps. This happened due to the removal of Nexus Turrets as well as Turret Platings to radically speed up matches. In turn, players have a more straightforward approach when eliminating the opponent camp’s Nexus and win the ma

Wild Rift made no attempts to force the complexity of PC's League into its mobile counterpart. However, fans do mention how Wild Rift retains its " League spirit" with most of its features. Either way, just how does Wild Rift compare to the original PC League of Legen

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 hybrid damage 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

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

Squishy mages cowered whenever they saw an enemy Kassadin in Mid Lane because he is an anti-mage assassin with burst power, absurd mobility, and a magic shield. Prior to the Season 11 changes, Kassadin's core item was Rod of Ages, but Riot removed it and has now left him in a bad s

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

Brand has always been a strong mage because of his burning passive, and Liandry's Torment was a necessary item for him because it applied even more burning on his spells. His new core item is Liandry's Anguish, which also burns enemies, except this time it damages them according to their maximum health while also ignoring up to 15% of their magic res

Lore continues to expand and grow alongside the popularity of Apex Legends , which still boasts several million active players and is consistently a top 20 game on Twitch. With each new character and season has come new cinematics and lore entries detailing the world of the popular battle royale title. Now, Respawn Entertainment and EA have the opportunity to potentially expand the Apex Legends world outward into various other gameplay experiences. There's enough lore and background material that could make a similar expansion plan feasible, but it's unclear if Apex Legends ' lore has as much staying power as League of Legends d

League of Legends ' expansion was emphasized earlier this week with a new cinematic story trailer for Ruined King: A League of Legends Story . Alongside the other untitled projects that Riot Games announced last year, Ruined King will be a single-player RPG set in the League of Legends universe. Players will add several iconic characters from the base game (Miss Fortune, Ahri, Illaoi, Yasuo, Braum, and Pyke) into their party as they explore the Shadow Isles. Slated to release early next year, it's the first of several ambitious projects set in the League of Legends universe to expand the story of Riot Games' now-iconic M

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

Ruined King comes alongside several spin-offs and untitled projects currently in the works. The League of Legends fighting game, called "Project L," is currently in development under Radiant Entertainment, a first party studio run by EVO founders Tom and Tony Cannon that Riot Games acquired way back in 2016. Riot Games' first-person shooter, codenamed "Project A," became the immensely popular Valorant multiplayer shooter . Legends of Runeterra , the official League of Legends card game, is now available to play on mobile devices and

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
