The Rift Heralds were literally making the Summoner’s Rift rumble. One of the minor bugs is a bit specific. The Triumph bug ends once overheat finishes. While that bug already gives Rumble players a huge advantage, it doesnt break the game entirely. However, the second one discovered could be described as quite chaotic. Players also exploited Rumble by creating an endless number of Rift Heralds. This of course would cause a huge problem....

Fans were quick to notice the symbolism and have been piecing together the clues ever since. This isnt the first time Riot Games has worked with Linkin Park. In 2021, Mike Shinoda, one of the bands founding members, appeared at the Arcane Global Premiere....

Patch 13.4 brings about plenty of changes to League of Legends. Thankfully, that has not stopped Riot from being able to get its bimonthly patch cycle back on track. Of course, this also means that every loss will also mean losing more LP.

The most OP champions are taking a hit, and some runes are getting changes. Notably,Sennas enchanter buildhave dominated solo queue, prompting devs to thrown down substantial nerfs. The 14.17 preview was shared by Matthew Phroxzon Leung-Harrison earlier this week (21 August). With all the upcoming changes previewed by the devs in 14.17, which ones matter the most? What does each change mean? Absorb Life Despite previous nerfs, Absorb Life continued to overperform....

The biggest meta shift all year is here. What do these changes mean and who are the winners and losers of this patch? Riot wants to minimise powerful things and make champion strength less reliant on item misuse. C:Rumble, Ksante, Skarner, Akali, Yasuo D:Varus, Smolder, Twisted Fate. Her damage scales well, making her stronger in longer games. Mages with sustained fight potential like Anivia, Swain, and Orianna are rising in the meta....

League of Legends players aren’t happy with the game’s new reward system. Previously, players could earn Blue Essence abundantly through level-up incentives and other ways. This claim contrasts with the absence of similar announcements on the English website. The frustration was echoed bysomewhatlikeawhisper, who felt like Riot shafted outlier players like them. It seems like you guys want to scare players away at any cost! Earning Blue Essence wouldnt require a purchase of any kind, Checkman emphasised....

From there, rounds two to five will be based on a team’s win-loss record....

Who are the favourites to raise this year’s Summoners Cup? Gen.G Esports If there’s a clear frontrunner this year, it’sGen.G. Still, Gen.G remain formidable. This makes them a team no one wants to face. In fact, if anyone were to rank the LPL, it’s BLG and then everyone else. Winning Spring and Summer without much contest and finishing second at MSI, theyve been in stellar form. With their mix of proactivity and discipline, BLG are strong candidates to lift the Summoners Cup....

Aletaha will be parting ways with Riot Games after over 12 years with the company. This decision wasnt easy, but its the right time for me to explore new horizons. The decision came after Aletaha took a sabbatical early in February of this year. Chris Greeley, the Global Head of Strategy for LoL Esports, will succeed Aletaha. “Theres a palpable, contagious sort of passion that Rioters share. Aletaha’s journey with Riot Games began in 2012 when she joined as the Senior Manager of B2B Payments....
