After the latest champion change, with her E and R switched around, Diana became a much more viable option in the mid lane. As an AP assassin with a very strong team fight ultimate, the champion is expected to even appear in pro p
Standard ability allocation with Double Up until level seven or nine, then switch to Strut until level 14 where you switch to Make It Rain. Stick with your teammates, focus on champion kills, and you’ll be a powerful
Ssumday continued to be one of the most impactful players this past weekend, being the first in the LCS this split to use Lucian in the top lane. While playing against Golden Guardians on the versatile marksman, Ssumday outperformed his top lane opponent Hauntzer, who was playing Gangplank, by out farming him by 25 CS (creep score) at the 15-minute mark. In terms of XP (experience points), every one of Ssumday’s teammates was losing to their respective opponents at the 15-minute mark while Ssumday himself led Hauntzer by an impressive 912 XP. The South Korea native utilized this early game advantage to carry his team to an impressive victory over the Golden Guardi
Standard ability distribution of Double Up first, Strut at level eight, Make It Rain at level 14. High attack speed is critical for those last hits so get Berserker’s Greaves and Rapid Firecannon. Then start picking off weak units to stack Legends before delivering the Coup De Grace on enemy champi
The person impacted the most by the Doublelift trade may be none other than Kobbe. The 23-year-old left his home in Europe to play for TSM at the end of last year. After just one split with the team, where he arguably was one of the best bot laners in the League of Legends tank build, TSM replaced him with Doublel
Despite not being used that much in top-level competitive play, in fact, he can be a bit of a meme pick in competitions, Garen is still a solid pick for most players in most low to mid and even some of the higher level E
You’ll use your ultimate to gank behind enemy towers and use Tongue Lash to slow and stun opponents. During team fights you’ll focus on the enemy carry. Staying in the heat of battle boosts his damage potential as long as teammates are around, but when things get dicey you want to ideally ultimate or use Thick Skin/Devour to buy time to get out of th
Miss Fortune is back in the meta and stands out as one of the most efficient ADCs in League of Legends . This is mainly because of the highly oppressive laning phase and the chance to easily build armor penetration early in the g
This build has Tahm focus on Top Support acting as a meat shield and assisting others with tower dives and ganks. Tongue Lash is important to upgrade in the beginning, but the meat of this build is Thick Skin in the mid-game and Devour in the late-g
Standard ability allocation, Infinity Edge to milk Critical Strikes, Essence Reaver to keep pausing abilities, and attack speed boosting items like Berserker’s Greaves and Rapid Firecannon are recommended. Early game you’re farming minions in the bot lane, mid-game you switch to objective stealing and assisting team fights, late-game you’re focusing on tower takedo
Ssumday also had a solid game during 100 Thieves’ first game of the week against TSM, but couldn’t manage to get the win alongside his struggling teammates. During week 5, Ssumday led all top laners in KDA (kill/death/assist ratio) with 6, while also managing to get a whopping 3 solo kills, cementing himself as one of the week’s best players. Currently sitting in 6th place at 4-6, 100 Thieves will continue to count on Ssumday to be their driving force for the remaining half of the sea
The off season has matched the regular season in the lunacy department thus far. With the disappointing news of the Mid-Season Invitational’s cancellation , fans will have to wait until the Summer Split to see their favorite teams play again, and until Worlds to see any international competition. So how exactly have teams been shaping up to prepare for the next half of the season? Here’s a breakdown of the biggest roster moves to happen so
One of the most underrated roles in the entire game of League Of Legends is the role taken by champions who go up to the top lane. This is a fairly boring role to play in the game and the champions that are most well suited to that role are generally champions that are more boring to play and have simpler mechanics, as they are usually built around sustain and tankien
For the most part this build is meant to capitalize on the team fights that happen in mid-game by using impressive DPS and health steal to stay alive. Press The Attack, Conqueror, and Overheal are powerful runes for this bu
TSM has now won six out of their last eight games, finding their way to 3rd place in the LCS Spring standings. Dardoch has been a major part of this surge, playing Lee Sin both games this past weekend against 100 Thieves and Evil Geniuses, winning both handily. One of the main jobs of a jungler is to secure neutral objectives, such as baron and dragon, as these give buffs that increase the stats of the players, helping them win fights. During week 5, TSM gave up 6 dragons, taking just 3 for themselves. This was done intentionally, however, as they decided to exchange early game dragons for objectives elsewhere on the map, such as map pressure and turrets. Early game dragons were weakened this past off season, and making these trade-offs helped TSM get early advantages. In doing so, this enabled Dardoch to secure baron buffs, an arguably more important late game objective. He managed to secure his team 100% of the barons taken this past weekend, which led to TSM winning both games. In terms of personal stats, Dardoch led junglers with a 14 KDA this week, dying just once. TSM will look to Dardoch to be a strength in the jungle, as they chase Flyquest in the standi
