League of Legends: Why The Ruined King is Season 11's Big Story Villain

Monster hunter Vayne won’t let anything stop her quest for vengeance, and her skills are put to good use in _ Wild Rift _ as a marksman and assassin. She boasts high physical damage with multiple opportunities for burst damage, stuns, and devastating AOE. In turn, Vayne works best in the Dragon L

Many older cinematics have shown different champions fighting one another in epic but ultimately meaningless skirmishes that had no lore impacts. However, the Season 10 cinematic broke this trend by featuring battles steeped in recent story developments. In contrast, the Season 11 cinematic only has champions from the same region fighting off the Black Mist, undead monsters, or their possessed allies which truly emphasizes the apocalypse a worldwide Ruination would cause. As Lucian notes, "We can't defeat him alone" and it may take most of the existing champion roster to put an end to the Ruined K

Players can frequently spam Ahri's abilities, especially with the provided Ability Haste from Luden's. Lich Bane is the way this build capitalizes on those short cooldowns. The item allows Ahri to deal massive damage with her first auto-attack after using an ability. To increase this damage, Arcane Bilgewater the build focuses heavily on providing more Ability Power. Pick up a Rabadon's Deathcap and a Demonic Embrace to greatly increase the extra damage dealt. If dominating early, feel free to purchase a Mejai's Soulstealer instead of a Rabadon's. Zhonya's Hourglass and Sorcerer's Shoes are particularly important items for every Ahri build as w

** Max Grossman: ** After they go live, it's always tough. We have a bunch of internal data on how Agents perform and can look at the numbers and use that as our most important balancing act. If a character is winning 57% of their matches (none of the Agents are winning that much; this is just a hypothetical) — that's probably something we should address, whether or not the community is aware of that problem. Then there's the flipside: players think something is overpowered, but we have hard data that shows it's not. Regardless of how we get that information, we can identify those problems as things that need addressing, and the solutions can look very differ

While Ahri did not see any direct nerfs or buffs to her skills and attributes , two items in particular saw buffs that directly help her kit throughout the game. The first of the buffs was to Luden's Tempest, which saw a significant increase to the Ability Haste stat. Luden's was already a good item for most Ahri builds. However, this buff allows her to spam her abilities more frequently. The other item that saw a change was Imperial Mandate, which saw a buff to its ally damage. These changes allow her to be built a little differently this pre-sea

Granted, Riot Games didn't announce release dates for these console releases. However, from what fans have gathered from announcements, the console port will be a 1:1 copy of Wild Rift for mobile pho

** Max Grossman: ** I think "frees us" is too strongly stated. But it gives us a healthy release valve because everybody at the very least has the same guns. With everyone having that shared primary mechanic of "hey, you all have guns, you all move the same," there are many shared behaviors. It gives us a lot of leeway with how our abilities can work. We never want that to be the case in Valorant. We believe in much more soft-counters when it comes to balancing different Age

Team play remains an essential aspect of Wild Rift . However, unlike League , players of Wild Rift no longer have the option to queue based on positions or roles they prefer. Instead, Riot Games will rely on its matchmaker to queue up players that have a diverse range of positi

Ahri is a feast or famine type champion. She can either carry her team to victory or feed the enemy the win instead. Because of this, the early game is extremely important. There are a large number of things to know in order to play League of Legends properly. However, the most important one for Ahri is appropriately harassing the opponent. This can be achieved by using her Q, Orb of Deception. This ability is what carries Ahri through the early g

** TheGamer: ** Was there a particular inspiration for Killjoy, be it aesthetics or playstyle? She's compared to the Engineer from Team Fortress 2 in terms of how she plays, and that her visual design was similar to Dokkaebi from Rainbow Six: Siege. If there was no direct inspiration, does the team try to steer away from making Agents that might be too similar to characters from other ga

Imperial Mandate was one of the many items affected by the recent changes. However, the change is simultaneously a nerf and buff to its viability. While the item saw a drastic reduction in its base damage, it saw an even more drastic improvement to its ally damage output. The cost was also reduced, making it an even more feasible team fight component than ever before. While Ahri may not be the most powerful champion in League according to the lore, she fights her way to the top with these new changes. Imperial Mandate's mark effect is only applied when using an ability that slows or immobilizes the target. With the aim of applying this mark more frequently, the goal is to slow or immobilize more frequen
