When asked about the platform's target audience, he told me that all types of people seek coaching for games via Metafy. Some examples include a 70-year-old who wants to improve at chess and 14-year-olds who want to defeat their friends at the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Further, he noted that some parents seek coaching just so they can play games more effectively with their k
Unfortunately, its boosts to the user itself are so minimal that it ended up being mostly useless. The buff wasn't anywhere near enough to justify its cost compared to boosting the user more with a powerful Armor or Health item. It simply faded off in an update with few players likely notic
It's equally useful for when players need to retreat. Let's be real, it's impossible to win every fight, right? Majorly slowing enemy champions down so they can't give chase is wonderful, and some will even simply run away instead of continuing to put the pressure
Their passive abilities, however, is where much of their power is loaded. Both Valorant Points price Increase their respective defensive stat with minion kills. Seeker's requires a bit more scaling, but the value is fairly equal. Most mages already will build Seeker's against an AD midlaner, but Verdant Barrier needs to be considered against AP-reliant compositions. For example, a Lillia/Syndra midlane combo would be ideal to build Verdant Barrier against. While not exciting items, defensive power is a great way to guarantee a player can scale into later stages of the g
Rengar has had a similar change to Viktor in recent years, but his item was taken away long before the Season 11 overhaul. Rengar was originally perceived as a hunter who could rack up kills. His Bonetooth Necklace could give him bonus stats based on how many champions he's sl
Being able to completely shrug off a single powerful projectile-based ability can be the difference between a winning encounter and being crushed. Plus, putting Braum at the front of a fight can help to make tower pushes far easier in general if opponents are nearby with this abil
One of the common factors for powerful active items is additional mobility. Mobility creep has long been a problem in League and giving an extra dash to champions who need it is one way to solve the problem. Of course, Galeforce's active does more than simply dash; it changes the way an ADC can p
This is the number one rule of playing as Braum — always be stacking Concussive Blows. Once the first hit is landed, make sure to get allies to add on with some basic attacks of their own. It's far easier to take down everything from dragons to enemy champions if they're stun
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
As a ranged character, Teemo is an easy counter to most melee champions. He is able to do a lot of poke damage out of range of the enemy's attacks. As such, many Top Lane melee mains, such as Garen players, despise Teemo Top Lan
I selected a timeslot based on Canadas’s availability. The platform allows players to send their prospective coaches a message, so I included a note explaining that I have more than 1800 hours in the game but continue to struggle to keep up with my friends, particularly after switching from Xbox to PC roughly a year ago. He promptly accepted my appointment t
Stridebreaker dashes the user forward 300 units, dealing damage in an AoE that also applies a significant slow. For bruisers and juggernauts, this item active is a blessing from the heavens. They gain an extra gap closer and a free slow to stick on their targets. Combos are made easier to execute and ranged toplaners finally have to play the lane instead of cheating it. It might even be too powerful at the time of writing, but that remains to be s
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
Season 11 has been in swing for long enough that many players have adjusted to the new shop. However, the best items remain a mystery for some players. Using stats and data from the game at Patch 11.4, here is a collection of powerful item abilit
Braum propels ice from his shield in the target direction, dealing magic damage to the first enemy hit and slowing them by 70% decaying over 2 seconds.
Look at just how much enemies get slowed! Landing Winter's Bite can be the difference between a successful ambush on the enemy or an opponent getting away. It's an amazing way to force the opposing team to turn around and fight a questionable battle because their retreat has become likely impossi
