Put simply, avoiding unnecessary gunfights will likely score you more ranked points than the potential kills are even capable of being worth. RP scored from kills is capped off at five points per game, while just surviving into the top three will net you seven. Managing to actually win the game is worth a staggering twelve ranked poi
Sometimes referred to as minions in other MOBAs, lane creeps automatically spawn every thirty seconds throughout the game, and this cannot be stopped or affected in any way. Each lane gets a team of creeps, and left alone, they will meet the opposing creeps in the middle of the map and simply cancel each other out. Early in the game they are a solid way of earning MOBA Hero guide experience and gold, which leads to one of the most important parts of the game: lan

Back in the LEC, G2 won the Summer season before moving on to the World Championship. They advanced to the Worlds play-offs, racing past DAMWON Gaming and SKT to reach the Grand Final. Though FunPlus Phoenix took home the Worlds title, G2 Esports had a formidable year. PerkZ was a massive part of G2’s legendary run, in which they stood just one series away from a never-before-done grand slam. He fit into the AD carry role nicely, holding his own against the game’s b
There might be a particularly reckless teammate that keeps making bad pushes. Downed squadmates might be too risky to rescue. Or it could be as simple as a toxic player that can’t seem to stop screaming into their microphone. In any of these cases, it’s worth considering the prospect of leaving them to their own devices. Besides, they might be thankful if you can carry them into a placement that saves their

Having a Pathfinder on board ensures that they’re always reachable, whether you’re looking to seize them for an advantage or desperately need a way to counter a team that’s already set up in a hard to reach s
Players generally perform better when they feel good about what they’re doing. So, when they land that perfect headshot, let them know that somebody noticed. If they’re a newer player, offer advice and tips instead of petulant whinging. It should go without saying, but they’ll be a bit more receptive, and a lot more likely to help when it’s nee
