** Max Grossman: ** It's a constraint for sure. Not a hindrance per-say, but it's something that we're always conscious of. Looking at League Of Legends, every hero has their primary ways of interacting with the world, like creating the "Q" ability or the "W" ability — these are the way you're attacking or dealing damage. You can have a wide array of ways to interact in that game. In Valorant, the primary way you interact is by shooting, which has a massive overlap between charact

No matter what, if the late game goes on long enough, Ahri will begin to fall off. As such, she will begin to lack in one-versus-one potential . Try to end the game as fast as possible by rushing down towers quickly and Sylas abilities initiating team fights ea

"Seraphine was independently created by Riot Games and was not based on any individual. Additionally, the former employee [Stephanie] is referring to left Riot more than a year ago and was in a department and role that has no input whatsoever into the creative design proce

Looking at something like Team Fortress 2, that game's turret is like a bunker. If you put it down and have enough supplies, the opposing team can't get past it unless you have like, 18 people throwing their bodies at it, and the turret is killing people left and right. It's a very different experience than the turret we shipped in Valorant. What we always found most exciting about the turret is this feeling of setting up a crossfire of your own. Sorta like, "OK, somebody is going to attack this chokepoint, my turret [is] on the right-hand side, and I'll hold the left-hand side." So when they try to push through, the turret shoots first, and I can shoot them while they're distracted. Distraction was the concept. Not a turret that instantly and autonomously takes enemies down to zero hea

Most players can agree that the 2020 reworks are more successful than previous attempts like Aatrox and Swain who play much differently or barely resemble their original incarnation. Since the next updates will focus on Dr. Mundo and perhaps Shyvana, players can only hope they continue the current trend which retains a champion's most iconic spells and concepts adapted to modern Runete

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

Luden's Tempest saw a buff after season 10 that many players were asking for. Before patch 10.25, players complained that the item did not provide enough Ability Haste compared to other items. The latest change has given the item an increase to Ability Haste. With the rework, the item is much more viable now when compared to other gear in the same price ra

** 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

Second, this isn't the first time Seraphine has been allegedly inspired by a real person. Jeevun Sidhu, a senior designer at Riot, tweeted out that the character is actually based on his partner - something that Stephanie has acknowledged . When that story went around, though, Riot didn't issue some weak tea statement about the character not being based on anybody. It was only when they were called out by very compelling evidence that they said literally anything about it, likely in fear over another Edgar Davids situati

Valorant is all about inches. Anxious, lonesome tiptoes into a bomb site can feel like miles. Every nook and cranny potentially houses miscreants eager to ensure you swallow a dose of lead-aspirin. So a razor-sharp focus and steady trigger-finger are essential to success, even when butterflies tickle the pit of your stomach. Otherwise, you're dead. Dirt wedged firmly between teeth until the lesson sticks: this game gleefully bounces people's heads off the can

While Riot continued to improve events during Season 10, their quality and design went beyond what players had come to expect in the past few years. Specifically, the Spirit Blossom summer event implemented a visual novel experience instead of normal missions allowing players to bond and share some hilarious fourth-wall breaking moments with champions like Teemo. Additionally, after last year's feedback that event passes weren't worth their RP cost, the rewards for playing were significantly boosted. This culminated in the Worlds 2020 pass where over 1000 event tokens and 30 milestone prizes were guaranteed after enough matc
