In the same vein as Arcade Sona and subsequent skins in this line, Arcade Hecarim had new animations, particle effects, and sounds. Though the horse reaper doesn't get as much play as he used to, the skin remains one of the coolest Riot has ever released. However, Hecarim's not the only horse in the game
In kicking off our first session, I explained to him that my main reason for hiring a coach was to gain a better understanding of the right moves during a fight. Using Discord’s screen-sharing feature, I shared a pre-recorded gameplay video with him and we walked through various fight scenar
The only downside to Dota 2 is that it isn't the freshest and, even though it's free, finding random people to join you is much harder due to its slightly more cult-like audience. League of Legends didn't start the genre, but it proved how successful it could be. The game has expanded massively among both casual and competitive play
Following up Seeker's Armguard is its upgrade, Zhonya's Hourglass. Stopwatch is included here as well since every class of character can make use of the item. Stopwatch, on its own, gives absolutely no stats at a cost of 600 gold. The rune "Perfect Timing" also grants the player a free Stopwatch after a period of time. This item can be combined into a variety of items, including the famous Zhonya's Hourgl
Dota started the MOBA genre and trend for a good reason and that's because its map was incredibly straightforward to understand. Stairs made for clear pathways, the foliage was all extremely large and explicit, and there were few obstacles that would make it hard to see what's going on on your scr
With a discerning eye and a determined stride, @keymini's Star Guardian Ezreal looks poised and ready to take on the world. The cosplay's gold trim is particularly striking, as the coloration is galactic in nature and speaks to the cosmic motif associated with the line of sk
Paying homage to the genre of Magical Girls, the "Star Guardian" line of skins reimagine champions in a scenario reminiscent of Sailor Moon . As an adventurer and explorer, Ezreal is at home within this thematic context, and cosplayer @pixelcosplay represents this iteration of the champion with stunning precis
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
Everfrost's active fires a skillshot out in a cone. Enemies in the center of the cone get rooted and take bonus damage, while other enemies hit are simply slowed and take some damage. This active now fires fast and has a relatively short cooldown, giving more wave-clearing power and lockdown to control mages who need the help. It's less of a dopamine hit than either Luden's or Liandry's, but is situationally oppress
Along with Primetime Draven -- another fan-favorite, Forecast Janna whirled straight into the hearts of fans. The skin release came at a great time for Janna, too, in terms of her placement in competitive meta. She used to be one of the go-to supports for many professional te
As a part of the Spirit Blossom event, Riot debuted a host of themed skins including this one for Thresh. Curiously, it shows Thresh in a somewhat human form and players could chat with the arbiter of death in a LoL client mini-g
When taking a break from college, Goerge "HotShotGG" Georgallidis decided to play League of Legends. The sudden desire to try out the game came after playing DotA -- a game that made him realize he liked the MOBA genre. HotShotGG soon grew to be one of the best League of Legends players in the World atlas league which caused him to drop out of college in order to become a professional pla
Because of his legendary skills, people used to say that the MiG on his tag didn't stand for the name of the team (Maximum Impact Game) but for Madlife is God. Unlike many esports athletes, he prefers to be called by his full name, Hong Min-gi, instead of by MadL
Umbral Glaive needs little introduction. This Lethality item was added as an aggressive option for the growing pool of AD-oriented support picks. It also could be used on AD assassins in some cases, but usually doesn't find itself in their inventory anymore. It may not be as cheap as it once was, but its power is still the s
Some fans might shake their heads at this thinking, "Nah, the PROJECT: Yasuo skin is WAY better." Those fans are also try-hards who can't break out of gold. All jokes aside, many fans do prefer this western-themed skin to Yasuo's many other, admittedly, excellent skin opti
Since their retirement announcements tend to come suddenly, those who don't follow the esports up close might only find out about it when the player appears doing something else professionally. Although they're not actively participating in team fights or trying to solo Baron, they left their own esports history and legacies (for better or wor
