The Best Player From Each Lane During Week 5 of the LCS

Support: This role is to protect and support the ADC. If needed, this means taking hits and sacrificing their lives so the ADC can survive. Abilities focus more on crowd control like silences, stuns, slowing down the enemy. Their main mission is to support the t

The skin used as a basis here is Temple Jax. This is important because when using this skin, Jax parts ways with his typical lamppost weapon. The artist has given an homage to this shift here by representing the broken lampposts which Jax has seemingly sliced through in the im

Believe it or not, the Spring Split of the 2020 League of Legends Championship Series is already past its halfway point, and teams and players are starting to see themselves separate from the rest of the pack. Cloud9 leads the way, extending their dominant streak and continuing their quest for the coveted 18-0 undefeated season. Flyquest, now in sole possession of 2nd place, impresses once again and they now sit comfortably behind Cloud9 at 7-3. TSM continues to flip-flop between strong and shaky weeks, but the Bjergsen-led squad rounds out the top three at 6-4. As they and the rest of the players fight it out on the rift to distinguish themselves and their teams, some performances stood out from the r

Jungler: The jungle is an area in the Summoners Rift. In the jungle, this roll can grow experience quickly without having to split it with the rest of the team. They will also be responsible for killing creatures to gather XP. Junglers are fast and can deal plenty of dam

The idea is to aggro towers using your deep health pool while allies move in or even bypass the tower with the ultimate and take an ally along for the ride. Your primary goal is to keep teammates alive and drawing attention to yourself. Items like Thornmail and Dead Man’s Plate help with t

League of Legends is a team-based game. There’s absolutely no way around out. Working together with other players and properly selecting the roles the team needs is essential to emerging victoriously. It’s important to communicate with the team as well. For example, if the team is rushing one specific section of Summoners Rift, that needs to be communicated. There’s a reason why these roles exist, as each one picks up the slack of the others. One bad apple can ruin the entire game. As a new player, it’s recommended to begin playing as each role until one feels like the right fit. Once it clicks, grind with that character until the player sees improvem

Here’s how League of Legends games work out. Two teams of Five are to face off against each other on the map, Summoner’s Rift. The player then will select champions to take control of for the match. Currently, the game has over 140 characters, each one with their own unique abilities and skills. In order to win the game, the team must destroy the enemy team’s base. The challenges lie in seeing who can do this first while killing each other and protecting their own base. Also, champions can be leveled up in games and become stronger by earning experience and gold. One team will eventually fall behind and the other will be victorious. Sounds simple enough. Although, there’s a lot of consideration when playing a game of League Of Legends Esports of Legends , especially when selecting a champion. Each game can be vastly different due to the difference in each champion. Let’s start with choosing a r

With the season just halfway through, it can be argued that all five Cloud9 members are worthy of winning the Spring Split MVP. Each of them are dominating in their own way, but perhaps none are more deserving than Zven. Playing excellent both mechanically and mentally, Zven along with his support Vulcan have dominated the bot lane this season, and week 5 was no different. Zven played an excellent Varus against CLG, who Cloud9 unsurprisingly beat. What was surprising, however, was Cloud9’s choice of bot lane in their second game against Immortals. Zven actually played “support” Senna, while Vulcan went Tahm Kench, acting as the “carry.” This is a strategy similar to what Dignitas Academy employed in their matchup against Golden Guardians Academy, where AD carry Fenix went Senna and support Olleh went Galio. Fenix “supported” Olleh as he farmed with Ga

ADC/Marksman: ADC stands for attack, damage, carry. This role is responsible for dishing out damage to the enemy team. While these roles can attack and kill pretty easily, they are also one of the weakest in terms of defense. Using gold (gold will be mentioned later) the Marksman can become stron

Ability Resources : Depending on the champion, this could be energy, fury, or mana. Mana is indicated by the blue bar and slowly fills back up over time. Energy is the yellow bar (recharges faster than mana but max value cannot be increa

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
