Before embarking on this endeavor, I spoke to Josh Fabian , Metafy’s cofounder and CEO. A product specialist who previously founded the anime social sharing site Kitsu , Metafy is his newest endea
This allows the player to hone their skills and delve deeper into their chosen champions. It's far more effective to have a deep understanding of 2 or 3 champions than to have surface-level knowledge of doz
Maintaining a presence in the lane is one thing, but staying too long is an often fatal mistake. After chasing down an opponent and killing them, many beginners will push towers while at low health, because there is no one there to challenge them. This opens the player up to being ganked by another en
Even greater is the territory division with the top half of the map having a scorched forest compared to the more natural green woods of the bottom chunk. It's amazingly fluid and helps new players get deep into the game's more complex characters more eas
Vision wards are an incredible tool that beginners tend to avoid. They are relatively cheap to buy, easy to use, and give the player's team a major advantage if used correctly. Vision wards serve best when hidden from view, in bushes, and in enemy territ
Knowing when it is safe to stay in lane and when to teleport back to base is a basic skill in League Of Legends Runes of Legends . Many players forget that they are open to sudden attacks when teleporting back to base out in the open, though, especially after a close fi
Once again, Dota 2 has absolutely seen tons of changes over the years. It's been an incredibly popular game that kickstarted a genre that nearly every other imitator has failed at. Much of this is because the game's base mechanics have remained dominantly the same throughout hist
Feeding the enemy team only serves to bolster their XP and gold, so it is always better to let an enemy teleport to the base than to chase them down. A champion with 3 kills and 0 deaths is doing far, far better than a champion with 6 kills and 5 deaths, after
It might be hard to believe, but League of Legends has been around since October of 2009. The free-to-play game has since released what feels like hundreds of skins for its ever-increasing champion pool. While some like the Star Guardian and Urf lines stand out, they aren't quite cool or intimidat
The champion has seen high-level and pro play a great deal over the years. And way back in 2013 when the skin came out, that was no exception. YouTuber LiBrizzi showcases just why people have so much fun with the champion. CW: language and excessive chair ju
Alternately, if you've never watched one of the introductory sections of a League of Legends Championship Series (LCS), you've missed out on some incredible shows. These events absolutely cater more to the fans of the game with some featuring live music concerts with stars around the world like (G)I-DLE and Madison Beer to introduce the final games of the official competitive sea
Though written as a Dream Daddy character, the skin is more fearsome than its origins might suggest. The particle effects are also quite choice and fans just vibed with this aesthetic from the get-go. Along with Thresh's many other fantastic skins, this stands out as one of the cool
As great as these events are though, League of Legends has done an incredible job of creating a consistent show with its LCS to create constant content for League players to watch. The production quality on this game's tournaments has always been through the roof and is incredibly addictive to keep up with if you know what's going
Galeforce's active dashes the user in a target direction, similar to Stridebreaker but with a longer dash. This dash will also fire bolts that deal bonus damage based on the target's missing health. Marksmen like Kai'Sa can utilize Galeforce to execute targets, while marksmen like Jinx can use it for repositioning and maximizing DPS uptime. Its active is absurdly powerful, and shouldn't be igno
Beyond a recolor, the emote was doubly hilarious since it now has Nautilus literally swimming through space in a spacesuit. The skin also has a reactive helmet that makes a cute face when Nautilus laughs. Though the skin received a graphical update in 2015, it remains pretty much the same as it was at lau
During one session, we discussed movement. Though I knew aiming down sights slowed the player down, I wasn’t aware that it did so by a massive 30 percent. He also gave me some tips on some easy-to-execute movement strategies the pros
Teleporting back to base when at low health or low mana seems like a waste of time, but it will save the headache of respawning and allows players to buy new items and upgrades as their opponent respa
He founded Metafy after hiring a professional Pokémon Trading Card Game player to coach his children and witnessing their dramatic improvement. Fabian recognized that in the current video game ethos, there are few ways for pros to monetize their talent beyond occasional tournament earnings. Some might opt for streaming or YouTube ad revenue, but even those options leave a swath of talented players struggling for a decent inc
