This is a frustrating champion to rework because, in theory, his kit is amazing. He has a silence, a knock-up, the capacity to get absolutely huge and unkillable, and he has the best skin in the game: Gentleman Cho’G

The popularity of BR games may have overshadowed some hidden gems in other genres. There are a number of games that offer loads of playability without spending anything (at least for the core experience). Here are the best free-to-play games that aren't Battle Roya

There is a lot to take apart from this meme, as it showcases a lot of the confusing mechanics of the top lane. The first is Mordekaiser, who’s hit a new height of popularity thanks to a full rework of his abilities. For those that haven’t played the game lately, his new ultimate will suck an opponent into a void for a one-on-one duel, making for an intimidating unique challe

This was a very controversial rework in the LoL community. Though he has seen a great deal of competitive play in this year’s LCS, LCK, and LEC , the fun factor of playing him has dropped sharply. His new appearance, for starters, is quite underwhelming. He is white and gold just like a character from the abandoned game Paragon who, curiously, has a similar ultimate to the reworked Galio

In recent years, the distinct and thrilling Battle Royale genre has dominated the free-to-play market . This is due to studios releasing these elimination showdowns for free to support their growing community. It's what keeps 100-man matches possible; a format necessary for Battle Royales to be playable. However, the free-to-play industry is also saturated with many other genres such as FPS, co-op, looter-shooter, open-world, and so much m

Large fighters like Nasus are usually able to survive on their own more than most champions, but it’s important to never forget your allies. Junglers can often be preoccupied with the exciting middle lane or the active bottom lanes near the dragon, and top laners like the one in this Pinterest meme can still get run over without a little h

Pantheon’s rework was a result of Riot cracking down on many champions that had global or semi-global ultimates. Veteran players will remember the halcyon (or hellish) days when Lux’s ultimate was nearly global, but Pantheon’s new ultimate feels weak at best and ultimately worthless at wo

One of the last great things about the top lane is just how many champions you can put in it. There are tons of traditional champions built to fill the roles of a lane, but anything from spellcasters like Vlad to support mages like Soraka can be some surprisingly powerful characters . There are tons of ways to play, and few are inherently wr

Perhaps the most realistic interpretation of the top lane goes to this comic by The Game Room. The artist does spectacular work showcasing the hecticness of the other lanes as they engage in the fantastical battles of the trailers, putting players in dire situations to dig themselves out

In the background, players can see Tyari fitting the necklace around his neck and an unnamed climber who seems to be the only one not wearing a necklace at all. The other two climbers are named in the flavor text. Halley is a Noxian woman looking to prove herself to her people by climbing Targon, and Emir is an optimistic Demacian who wants to prove he’s capable of something amazing. As of the beginning of the journey, there are four people attempting the cl

OG has made numerous headlines recently with their roster changes, so much that it makes fans fear for the future of its adored Dota 2 team. With Anathan "Ana" Pham taking an extended break and Jesse "JerAx" Vainikka retiring from the professional scene, it makes people wonder what's going to happen to OG. But with OG Seed and OG CS: GO being newly introduced, this could mean a new chapter for the esteemed organizat

That might mean that, if players can get proficient enough with them, they may be able to carry themselves out of bronze like Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did during quarantine in 2020. Keep up with new ban trends across all of the LoL serv

His capacity to outplay at higher ranks is severely limited as his kit necessitates repetition — especially in a meta where popular champions like Athelios, Sett, and Graves (to name a few) can be very malleable and situatio

Blizzard's hectic hero-based shooter saw quite an overhaul in the form of its revamped sequel — and this extends to the payment model. Overwatch 2 is now entirely free-to-play, though the studio has put more focus on purchasable add-ons through a premium battle pass and in-game curre

Many League of Legends players will tell you that the top lane is one of the calmest roles you can get in the MOBA game Strategy. It’s not as fast-paced as the middle lane, it’s far less complicated than the jungle, and it’s not as crowded as the bottom lane. Nonetheless, it’s a complex role with a lot of diversity that takes time to mas
