League of Legends has been around for more than a decade and, compared to many games, it's likely received some of the most immense gameplay changes over its history. There have certainly been some major visual changes, but the mechanics of everything from the map layout to champion movesets have been greatly shifted over t
Just as emotes or typing "/dance" may be used within the game to interact with players, champions also possess numerous lines of dialogue that are used as "taunts." Ezreal's is particularly iconic as he says, "you belong in a museum." This jibe may seem innocuous, but when repeatedly spammed it produces a far more antagonistic eff
This item was meant as a support tool but was partially removed because nearly every tank champion in any role could get an absurd amount of money from it. It even used to build into popular tank items like the Locket of the Iron Solari and Randuin's Omen, making it a must-have for nearly any l
Braum raises his shield in the target direction, creating a barrier that intercepts incoming non-turret enemy projectiles and reduces the damage he takes through the shield. The first instance of damage blocked by his shield is negated comple
The axe ricochets off the target high up into the air, landing 2 seconds later at a location determined by Draven's current movement. If Draven catches an axe, Spinning Axe is reapplied for no additional cost on his next basic att
Blood Rush is also a very important part of Draven's kit. Movement skills are vital in League of Legends and this ability affects that a good deal. There's not as much to consider with the W ability, but when using it, remem
A champion's ultimate ability tends to be their most iconic in League of Legends , and Ezreal is no exception—his "Trueshot Barrage" fires a massive energy wave in a line that completely travels across the game's
The support role has easily seen the most significant changes in terms of item selections, but there are a few that affect nearly every mage class equally. The prime example of this is the Mana Manipulator, an inexpensive advanced item using two Fairy Charms to generate more mana regenerat
One of the things that keep players from ranking up in League of Legends is not knowing how to get the most out of their champion's abilities. Draven can be amazing for dealing damage and can be incredibly aggressive in the early game as long as players know how to use his abilities effectiv
It triggered on-ability effects from other items including spell vamp and worked well as an initiator in fights. It would amplify any subsequent damage done to a target from ALL sources. Though now decommissioned, ascendance its legacy lives on in items like Liandry's Torment and even Luden's E
This effect cannot occur on the same target more than once every few seconds, but during this immunity period affected targets instead take 20% of the trigger damage as bonus magic damage from Braum 's basic attacks and Winter's B
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
This is a mistake many first-timers will make when trying to traverse the map, perhaps to join a team fight or push a vulnerable lane. Going into unrevealed parts of the map alone is a surefire way to get killed by a jungler or come across a group of traveling enem
SKT T1 finished the Summer Split in third place and still managed to qualify for Worlds due to their Spring performance. After overcoming their rivals, the Rox Tigers, in the semi-finals, SKT T1 went on to defeat Samsung Galaxy, securing their second consecutive World Championship title and third franchise ti
Any mid lane main who has played for 6+ years will remember the infamous Deathfire Grasp item. A staple for assassin-type mid champions like Ahri or Leblanc, this item provided an extreme boost to ability power. However, it also had a truly over-powered activateable abil
Pings are the best way to warn teammates of both threats and opportunities. When a champion disappears into the fog of war, or when a group of enemies suddenly shows up near a vision ward, ping that location to alert allies that something is am
Health items had a massive amount of variety in the early days of League of Legends and even in the modern-day, there are all sorts of items with different effects to keep your bulky champions bulkier. For the greediest players, Leviathan did this alarmingly well for those who could get enough ki
Braum 's basic attacks and Winter's Bite each apply Concussive Blows to his target for 4 seconds, stacking up to 4 times. Once the first stack has been applied, any allied champion's basic attack on the target generates an additional st
Players can also more effectively chase down enemies if they use Blood Rush correctly. While it can be tempting to charge straight ahead at the enemy, players should actually wait right before the ax lands in front of them to catch it. If they immediately press W as soon as possible, the speed boost they get will negate any of the waiting time they took. It takes a bit of practice to get this bizarre movement tech to work efficiently, but it's absolutely worth
