Pyke is a unique support Champion in that he offers the ability to deal significant amounts of damage and take over as a killing machine. He currently is extremely strong and is a great option for those trying to climb the ladder. Traditional supports are also still viable picks, with the top ones being Thresh, Morgana, Nami, and Sona. These supports thrive on the utility they add to the team, and the pain of being forever trapped by Morgana will tilt the enemy off the face of the ea
There are a lot of different items in this game with varying tiers of power. The only way to get these items is to beat the creep rounds that pop up between matches. If you win you choose the item you want if you lose you are given a random i
For instance, winning nine rounds in a row will give you three gold and if you successfully beat the creep rounds you get to pick the item that you want instead of relying on the gods of RNG to save you. Losses aren’t the end of the world, but winning is how you, you know,
Despite its popularity and plethora of options, there are several aspects of the game which don’t make sense. For starters, players of League of Legends need not know much about the in-game lore to have an enjoyable play experience. Including lore, mechanics, and simple logic, here are ten things about League of Legends which will leave you scratching your h
Most video games incorporate some sort of equipment system, and League of Legends is no exceptions. Players will find various choices for purchasing swords, boots, armor, ranged weapons, shields, and helmets. There are even items that don’t fall into any of these categories. Their use is a bit more confus
Still, I miss the accuracy of a mouse for skill shots. The characters don't quite have the charm of Ahri, Rumble, or any of my other LoL mains. I find their voice acting annoying, and their 3D models don't quite live up to their art. I don't see myself dropping cash for skins. In the end, I think I just want to scratch the MOBA itch I've been ignoring for years. Genesis definitely does that, and will do so for any curious PS4 owners. It also doesn't require PS Plus, which is a… plus. Give it a shot as your first MOBA, or first MOBA in years. If you have a PC, however, stick to the class
Along those lines, Respawn has also detailed their policy of loss forgiveness for this series. This applies to any match where you would normally finish at a net negative, but the loss was potentially due to something outside of your control. Respawn defines these situations as when match made teammates leave the game early, client errors, and “other cases where we determine you are not to blame for leaving the ga
Building up your hero is automated by default. If you don't “pre-order” a late-game item, the game will prompt you to buy the next affordable recommended item as soon as you have the gold. When you level up, the game will automatically apply a point to an ability. Since you can't freely choose targets with a mouse pointer, there's a priority system. With a click of the left stick, your hero will cycle between targeting creeps, structures, or enemy heroes. It's all streamlined, designed for console players who probably never played a PC MOBA tips. Fortunately for experienced players, it can all be turned off. Well, except for the game pad controls. The devs are planning to eventually put Genesis on PC, but have stated that they don't plan on incorporating mouse and keyboard contr
Tank units need to be up front to take the brunt of the damage while you’re weaker magic and damage dealers need to be in the back to stay alive. Knights get beefy damage resistances if they’re standing close to each other so it’s important to keep them spread enough to protect weaker units, but clustered enough to get the bo
The monster of the Mid Lane, Akali, was recently nerfed to a point where she's almost unplayable. Despite this, there are still plenty of options for Mid Laners who want to carry the game and show they can be the next Faker. Yasuo, Zed, Fizz, and Kassadin are all at the top of the tier list. Though they are incredibly strong, new players should be hesitant to play them. Right now the mid lane is rewarding high skill level Champions but they can also be useless if not used correctly. It has become a meme that a Yasuo on your team will do nothing but feed while a Yasuo on the other team will be a complete god. All of the best Mid Laners right now fall into the category of being hard to master, but if you have the time and dedication to practice, the payoff can be very h
(Image: https://burst.shopifycdn.com/photos/balancing-on-their-head-on-a-coffee-table.jpg?width=746&format=pjpg&exif=0&iptc=0)Genesis has a top-down view, mid goes solo, bottom duos, and hopefully someone jungles. Thankfully, every champion has the ability to teleport to friendly towers. There's a cooldown, of course, but it's still nice to have that ability not locked to a summoner spell. The shop is also available everywhere, not just at base. This all seems designed to expedite the laning phase. There's even an option to begin with your character at level four. It's like the Genesis devs know that farming creeps is boring and are helping players get to team fights fas
