League of Legends: Looking Back at Season 10

At the end of last year, Riot Games announced an effort to expand the League of Legends IP beyond its MOBA roots. Acquiring and partnering with several third-party studios, Riot Games' new initiative for its 10th anniversary has spawned a League of Legends fighting game, a popular FPS called Valorant , a collectible card game called Legends of Runeterra , and even a business/management sim for LoL esports. The League of Legends universe will soon reach far beyond the base game into a ton of new gaming experiences, a sentiment that Respawn Entertainment recently expressed with the hit battle royale Apex Legends as w

Azir requires a great deal of skill to play properly, so beginners should definitely avoid him , but he has always received great looking skins. Riot doesn't give Azir skins often, but when it does, it puts a lot of effort into them, and rightfully so because his abilities are incredibly uni

Azir attacks by summoning sand soldiers, and when he ultimates, he creates a wall of soldiers who can knock enemy champions backward. The soldiers always have impressive sand effects, and they would look majestic in a Pulsfire or even a Dragon Slayer s

It's really up to the Apex Legends to determine whether or not the battle royale has the same staying power as League of Legends does. League of Legends has been around for over 10 years, and still remains one of the biggest MOBAs and esports games of all time. In comparison, Apex Legends is a far younger game that released a year and a half ago. Granted, if the Titanfall games are looped in, then the overarching Apex Legends - Titanfall universe has been around for six years. That's still comparatively a short time, which means asking if Apex Legends has the same character reputation as League of Legends jungle pets of Legends is a valid question, at least when strictly talking about spin-o

Everyone's favorite bounty hunter returns to Wild Rift to unleash havoc with her signature straightforward kit in League . Miss Fortune's Love Tap (Passive) gives bonus damage whenever she hits new targets, encouraging her to cycle between enemies. Meanwhile, her Strut (S2) gives her a passive speed boost whenever she isn't attacking, or activates for bonus attack speed. Her Passive also reduces the cooldown for this sk

** Max Grossman: ** There are two components to this. One being Sentinels aren't solely for newer players. However, two of our three Sentinels do appeal to new players, those being Sage and Killjoy. Cypher, not so much. He's a more cerebral, information-gathering character. Tough to use effectively. But I think there's a reasonable observation around the fact that Sentinels tend to appeal to people that don't feel as confident in their tactical-shooter skills. Because at the very least, they know they can set up their stuff (ice walls, traps), get a gun, and stay the

Perhaps it'd be interesting to see how the Apex Legends community responds to the idea of spin-off titles, and whether it'd be a worthy venture for Respawn Entertainment and/or EA. At a glance, Apex Legends and Titanfall bring enough to the table lore-wise for this to be absolutely possible, but it's a matter of gauging whether the interest is there. Somehow mixing the whimsical nature of Apex Legends ' lore with the seriousness of Titanfall could be an interesting experim

While League of Legends continues to grow outside the MOBA, it seems Apex Legends shares a similar desire to grow outside of its own battle royale genre. In an interview with Eurogamer, Apex Legends game director Chad Grenier mentioned a desire to expand and "eventually evolve into something beyond a battle royale." At first, Grenier mentions that crossplay and the Nintendo Switch release of Apex Legends are the first steps to expanding the game. However, Grenier subsequently poses the question of how Apex Legends could move beyond just iterating on Apex Legends with additional limited-time-mo

Regarding how you're spending time, in League Of Legends, 80% of the time you're using different abilities that are all unique to your hero. In Valorant, 80% of your time is with your gun out, which is not unique to your character. So there's a much smaller portion of time that you're using the distinct Agent abilities. From that perspective, I think it gives us constraints, but not too m

Lore continues to expand and grow alongside the popularity of Apex Legends , which still boasts several million active players and is consistently a top 20 game on Twitch. With each new character and season has come new cinematics and lore entries detailing the world of the popular battle royale title. Now, Respawn Entertainment and EA have the opportunity to potentially expand the Apex Legends world outward into various other gameplay experiences. There's enough lore and background material that could make a similar expansion plan feasible, but it's unclear if Apex Legends ' lore has as much staying power as League of Legends d
