It's already been said many times, but Dota 2 is nothing short of the fundamental game in the MOBA genre. This game was unlike any other when it first came out, and it can never be forgotten just how significant its style of gameplay was for games of all genr
In the early season, Sunfire Aegis was by far the best tank mythic item. After several nerfs, the three tank items have become much closer in balance. Balanced stats means the items are evaluated based on their active abilities less than the raw numbers. For Turbo Chemtank, that active makes the i
With the recent item overhaul, it's easy to forget that many champions have also gotten serious changes due to their passives being related to their build. Viktor is perhaps the biggest recent example with his upgradable Hex Core item now being removed entirely for an ability upgrade system based around killing minio
Adopting a more somber countenance that is heightened by the emphasis of blue in the costume and backdrop, the cosplay captures the duality of whimsical magic and sobering danger that is often addressed by the genre . Particular detail is paid to Ezreal's gauntlet, which subtly takes on qualities of a magical girl w
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
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
The shop overhaul in Season 11 of League of Legends was set to be as big as previous seasonal shifts. By condensing the shop and giving more obvious power to items, stat sticks were no more. In the current season, although the meta refuses to change , items have had their power significantly adjusted. Many items were given powerful new passives, and a collection of influential actives were added as w
The signup process was incredibly simple due to the site’s Discord integration. Metafy makes it easy for arena 2V2 potential coaches to connect with prospective players on Discord, and lessons take place as a one-on-one Discord c
Within that relatively short time, he’s watched players who were unable to reach the top 16 in tournaments — an important cutoff for online fighting game tournaments — to passing that and even reaching the top eight. While one of the players later told Vinson that he thought he’d reach that level eventually, he felt the coaching helped accelerate the proc
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
If a group fight starts off with Glacial Fissure hitting most of the enemy team they can kiss their sorry butts goodbye. This is why this ability has a long casting time in general. Players need to be absolutely sure this move works but when it does, it can make engaging the enemy a bre
Utilizing the insult as their caption, @viickyscarlet poses as an ostensibly deep-in-thought Ezreal, though it's likely he is only considering the best way to rile up his opponent. Aside from arresting viewers with the recurrent blue, this cosplay pays particular attention to Ezreal's power gauntlet and emphasizes the arcane and ornate elements of the dev
Chemtech Putrifier is just that item. Its passive, Puffcap Toxin, empowers allies on healing and shielding effects with the ability to inflict Grievous Wounds. Enchanters, particularly those with a Moonstone Renewer, will be able to apply this passive multiple times in an extended fight, guaranteeing Grievous Wound uptime. Most importantly, this also allows allies to not have to waste an item slot on a weaker item. Putrifier is a powerful tool, and one enchanters can utilize perfec
Umbral Glaive is a simple, powerful item. In a game based around vision control, an offensive item that allows regular vision denial is absurd. Blackout, its passive, activates when walking near enemy wards or traps. After it activates, it works similarly to the Red Trinket, sweeping outwards and giving the user time to clear them out. It also allows users to instantly kill most wards once they are spot
Turbo Chemtank provides a balanced statline in terms of defensives, along with a fair bit of Ability Haste. This is combined with its active, Supercharged. Supercharged is similar to the Righteous Glory of old, only the user goes much faster and ignores unit collision. This item allows champions that just want to run fast, like Udyr, much more oppressive than they otherwise would
