Garen's passive, Perseverance, allows Garen to regenerate a percentage of his maximum health every 5 seconds. However, if Garen is hit by an enemy or an enemy ability, he will have to wait 8 seconds for the ability to return. This ability is very useful because it allows Garen to frequently and confidently exchange hits with the enemy without having to waste time in base healing as a result. When Perseverance is active, Garen will have glowing green particles fly around him and a little icon will appear above the Champion i
Adding to the problem of more aggressive top lane champions, the decision on what aggressive item is best is becoming less and less of a question.

Role assignments are a little different compared to Summoner's Rift with 3 laners and 2 junglers compared to the 5 specialized roles in a normal League of Legends match. Additionally, Nexus Blitz only has 2 lanes so 1 player will always be going solo against an opponent. The jungle is split between the 2 lanes, with various camps filled by tougher monsters than those found on Summoner's Rift. The 2 junglers must work together to clear these camps, but will share increased EXP, gold, and buffs by doing

However, as this meme from Reddit showcases using an edited comic from Owlturd , failure can make it much easier to just leave the lane to those who know it. You should never let one failure determine your entire future, but sometimes it’s more relaxing to just go back to your usual r
Players will spend time skirmishing, gathering goodies, and coordinating with teammates. This all leads to the end goal of toppling the opposing team's 'Ancient', a towering Mordor-esque structure within their b
Top Esports looks like the best team in the world, and their jungler is a big reason as to why. Many remember him as being a part of the notorious "Korean Killers" with Flash Wolves, and Karsa hopes to continue his tradition of beating Koreans during Worlds 2

Master Yi is the biggest skip in percentages so far, being locked out of 34.22% of games. Much like Blitzcrank and Leona, Yi is far from a versatile tool but does a great job in the role he’s built for: having massive damage output and speed compared to other junglers and assass
The fantasy RPG epic The Witcher 3 is brimming with things to do, places to explore, and foes to slay. Among this journey is a fan-favorite card game that many agree was deep and enjoyable enough to stand as its own game.

Shen is directly mentioned in this meme due to his ultimate, which lets him teleport to foes across the map at an unusual speed. Top laners in general will still be frequent users of Teleport, a Summoner Spell that allows them to do the same thing. Often, this can be done to return to the lane quickly, as it’s a long walk for many slow champi
In his first split as a part of Gen.G, BDD was one of the best performing mid laners in the LCK, with a 6.2 KDA (kill/death/assist) ratio, which was good for second in the LCK Summer Split, behind only DAMWON’s Heo "ShowMaker" Su. Although many consider bot laner Park "Ruler" Jae-hyuk to be the main carry of the team, BDD brings a ton of talent and leadership to the team, making them one of the favorites from Korea to win the entire ev
