Bottom Lane has been a roller coaster during the past season and preseason. It looks like change is finally coming, as Riot has decided to buff up crit items once again. This will bring the meta back towards the traditional ADC. Mages enjoyed their time in the Bottom Lane, but it’s time to get things back to a state where everything is a little bit nor
The Philippine squad first turned heads at ESL One Hamburg with their barely scathed record of only one lost match. Subsequently, TNC won the tournament in October and took home $125 thousand because of their dominant Earthshaker and Morphling hero combination. Highlighting the superiority of meta cycling, TNC proved to be more than just a regular south-east Asian t
These abilities continuously pay dividends as the ring constricts and advantageous positions become increasingly limited. Having a Pathfinder on board ensures that they’re always reachable, whether you’re looking to seize them for an advantage or desperately need a way to counter a team that’s already set up in a hard to reach s
Forwarding one month ahead, Miracle amazed the community once again at the Epicenter Major. The professional player one-shotted Roshan with Arc Warden with the help of an arcane rune to reduce the cooldown of his hero’s ability, Spark Wra
Almost every Legend’s set of abilities have the potential to be game winning moves in clutch situations, but the most tactically beneficial has to be Pathfinder’s zipline and grappling hook. With these, the player –and, by extension, their squad– can claim otherwise unreachable high ground positions that are critical in spotting targets and winning gunfig
Shrines provide strategic assistance by restoring both mana and hit points to a hero and nearby allies with a five-minute cooldown. Knowing when to use these and when to save them is a cornerstone to high level play, as the worst mistake a player can make is use the shrine with there is no threat, too early in a skirmish, or when there is clearly an opportunity to replenish in another
Like Marvel, DC only has two films coming in 2020: Bird of Prey (and the Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) and Wonder Woman 1984 . 2021 will see Robert Pattinson become the next actor to bring the Caped Crusader to the big screen in Matt Reeves’ The Batman . Also coming to theaters in 2021 from DC Films is Black Adam , with Dwayne Johnson as the titular hero, and James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad sequel. DC’s plans for 2022 include DC Super Pets and Aquaman
The meta has been shifting drastically lately, and Moba Updates Riot wasn’t able to iron out all of the changes during the preseason. From removing the monstrosity that was Akali to bringing back crit ADC’s, there are some massive changes in patch 9.4 that have definitely altered the meta. The good news is that it is a great time to be playing if you want the ability to carry the game and put the team on your back. There is a wide variety of champions who are currently very strong no matter what your preferred role. Whether you’re looking to drag yourself out of the pits of Iron or maintain your high level, these are the strongest champions in each r
Making headlines and defining this year is OG’s record-making win at the International 9 last August. The team became the first back-to-back winner, first team to win two Ti’s, became the highest-paid professional esport players in the world and achieved that with a clean slate of zero matches lost during the International 9. And of course won $15.6 million in the proc
An esport oasis at the peak of Dota 2 memery was Midas Mode 2, the perfect experience of enjoyably good gameplay with a Twist. The event was centered around an innovative mode called Midas Mode, which featured game-changing mechanisms and a whole new currency called Moonbucks. It gave professional players the chance to have more fun playing the game and earn a share of the $150 thousand prize pool in the process while playing Dota 2 a bit differently. The set of bounties each day gave an ever-changing gaming vibe while keeping things interesting for players and fans alike, which contributed to the tournament’s succ
Sometimes referred to as minions in other MOBAs, lane creeps automatically spawn every thirty seconds throughout the game, and this cannot be stopped or affected in any way. Each lane gets a team of creeps, and left alone, they will meet the opposing creeps in the middle of the map and simply cancel each other out. Early in the game they are a solid way of earning hero experience and gold, which leads to one of the most important parts of the game: lan
