Top Lane has always had to ride the line between tanks and carries and thankfully in 9.4, both are viable. At the top of the tier list are Riven, Nasus, Yorick, Vladimir, Darius, Sion, and Garen. For those that prefer to play on a carry, Riven is the obvious cho

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

Skulltown, Singh Labs, and practically any drop site designated as a hot zone should be completely stricken from your menu as the Jumpmaster. In Ranked Mode, you’re presumably being matched with players that are every bit as good as you are, and chances are you won’t be walking out al

Amer “Miracle-” al-Barkawi is known across the world as one of the best professional Dota 2 players in the world, but during the MDL Disneyland Paris Major grand finals back in May, he truly lived up to his name. In the first game of the grand final match, Miracle- played to his assets and took down Team Secret four times that led to four rampages that won Team Liquid the g

For a Jungler, a global ultimate is very valuable, and Karthus can easily use his to secure kills. The rework of Nunu has put him in an incredibly good spot, especially in the jungle. He can secure objectives, provide tons of utility, has great teamfight abilities, and is a tank. Nunu has become the Jungler’s dr

Genesis opens by explaining that humans and aliens teamed up to go through a portal in space. There are unknown dangers on the other side, which warranted the formation of a group of specialized individuals. Right after, you’re dropped onto a single-lane bridge and put in control of the beginner-friendly archer hero. Sound familiar? I immediately had flashbacks to the League of Legends tutorial. Genesis does try to set itself apart by focusing more on story. The tutorial introduces mysterious aliens that attack our alliance of heroes. What they are, and why they’re hostile, is a matter for the campaign. Oh yeah, there’s a full-on campaign mode. Too bad it doesn’t work at the moment, an issue the devs are actively fixi

Supergirl season 4 saw Kara Danvers having to contend with an enemy unlike she’d ever faced before – the anti-alien militia leader Agent Liberty. Though the mid-season finale saw Agent Liberty’s identity exposed to the world along with the depth of his terrorism, this only served to make him a martyr to his cause and the public backlash prompted Supergirl’s dismissal from the DEO. The remainder of the season will see Supergirl having to cope with her new status as an outlaw, as well as the emergence of a Russian Supergirl clone and her first confrontation with Lex Luth

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 team composition, or first MOBA in years. If you have a PC, however, stick to the class

With Apex Legends ‘ first official Ranked Series winding to a close and another fresh season looming on the horizon, competitive players are gunning for those highly coveted Ranked Points harder than ever. This means that everyone is bringing their A-game to the Ranked queues, and that you’re going to need to do the same if you’re still grinding ranks to secure those sweet exclusive rewards for the next t

That may seem like a defeatist attitude, but it’s a simple matter of playing the numbers. Hot drop situations are easily the most lethal in the game, and dying there is the best way to lose those valuable ranked points. Dropping further out and later than the rest alone will likely get you into tenth place as a minimum, which scores you two ranked points just for dropping sm

This might make for a controversial entry, but once in a while cutting and running will end up being the strategy that prevents RP loss. The context varies wildly, but the only solution to an unwinnable situation is getting as far away from it as possible, even if that means leaving a teammate or two beh

Right now the strongest champions in the Bottom Lane are Lucian, Ezreal, Draven, Sivir, and Caitlyn. Ezreal is still not what you would think of as a traditional ADC, running kleptomancy and building Manamune. It’s indicative of just how much the Bottom Lane is returning to form Caitlyn as being strong again; she is the definition of a crit ADC. It will be interesting to see how long Riot wants the bottom lane to stay more traditional, it may not be long before we see Heimerdinger going bottom lane ag
