It is frustrating for players to match-up with AFK players. Apparently, their main purpose is to make the match become a disaster. It can lead your team into chaos and ultimately.

In a recent post, with the goal of establishing additional best measures against AFK and the ones who breaking the game, the Riot team continues to send to fans “Behavior System: Update on August 2020”.

This system is primarily focused on reducing the bad result that affects the true players when they encountered AFK-er. Tale a look at the trolling/inting behaviors list below:

1. Attempting to give the opponents kills by feeding yourself intentionally.
2. Attempting to int or troll your teammates over and over again.
3. Having negative behavior(s) or and having a bad giving up attitude.
4. Finally, Leave the match intentionally.

Riot’s main goal is nothing more than minimizing the above behaviors in all matches, especially in ranked.

For extremely negative behavior like intentionally kill-steal, then go AFK, or not making a positive contribution in the match will also be punished.

This system is so strict towards the junglers. Especially, when you did not gank or contribute anything to the game or your teammates, the punishment reminds the same.

Riot propose short-term solutions to limit negative impact for players including:

Allows early surrender when there is an AFK player. The LP points will also be deduced. Besides, those players with negative behavior will also get instant punishment towards their wait time for the next match.

In a nutshell, one of the things that make League of Legends so popular is the improvement of the ranking system, so as punishment towards negative/abusive players. Let’s hope for and see if they can change their title as “The Most Toxic Game Community.”

1/ Ekko:

He is well-known with the title “Prodigy of the Zaun”, Ekko showed his genius in a creative and imaginative mind since he was just a little boy, at the teenage. Engine Z – A device which can easily manipulate the time line is the most attentive invention that has ever created by Ekko as a solid proof for his high IQ.

It takes Zilean for an entire life to learn the magic spell which can manipulate time, but with Ekko, only a short period (few years) that he need to master it (despite his skill is not so equivalent to Zilean in some cases, but he still catch up with the formula to engage the magic).

2/ Heimerdinger:

His real name is Cecil B. Heimerdinger. The name has been known for the greatest genius inventor of Piltover. Thus, we can imagine how smart he is and what does a big brain can create. His deadly weapons – the machines that make tons of enemies pass away in just a blink of an eye is the result of his whole life researches and magnificent science demonstration.

With an enormous head (may contains a lot of brain cells) and the name that is the combination between Robert Oppenheimer and Erwin Schrödinger, Heimerdinger’s IQ can be told to be higher than other Yordle in the realm. What a “master of mechanic”!

3/ Jayce:

As a citizen of Piltover’s tech kingdom which is known as a paradise of technology in general, young Jayce even soon became famous for his inventions, alongside his spirit of chivalry. The transformation hammer made from Hextech technology is an iconic product by Piltover, with all the finest features of patent technology embodied in it.

However, because he was aware of the dangers that threaten the city, Jayce temporarily put his passion for invention aside to focus on a job that requires less brainpower, but requires noble spirit and enthusiasm. So that, he is determined to be a person – The Guardian of Piltover.

4/ Viktor:

Compared to the three names mentioned above, Viktor is even more genius than anything else. He was the one who invented Blitzcrank – A machine with perception like living beings, and even, already close to the level of science that could evolve humanity to new heights (at least that’s what he thought ).

By transforming himself into a form of biological robot by replacing body parts with machines, Viktor can be said to possess a great stature of intelligence, but his insanity turns super intelligence. This unbreakable and full of madness becomes a formidable weapon, even capable of determining the fate of both Zaun and Piltover.

5/ Rumble:

Unlike the names mentioned above, Rumble is probably on a different level, because he does not have adequate financial support and materials for research, but all Rumble’s inventions are by hand. he created.

The Tristy machine – Rumble’s lifelong pride was actually only born from the scrap yard, with the redundant parts thrown away, but through the talented hands of this Yordle, they turned into a dance the gas has terrible destructive power.

Even, Rumble is admirable in that, he is completely indifferent to inventing or researching like the four names mentioned above (the most important thing in his life is probably Tristana), but he is capable of giving out. Lifetime of inventions showing intellectual stature is not inferior to the 4 of them.

Generally speaking, the top 5 above can be considered to be the smartest champions. They are not the most muscular, but their brains are so muscular than any other opponents.

Riot’s taking the week of August 10th off to disconnect, recharge, and reboot. It seems to be that they will spend some times to reduce the velocity and productivity of their company before it gets back to work as usual.

Despite of the busyness and their not-so-wide time, Riot is using a whole week, which is start from August 10th, to fix up and to prepare the entire system and some other stuffs, also.

A few teams are also staggering their time off to make sure everything is running smoothly. Look for specifics on League, TFT, LoR, and VALORANT over the next few days. 

This has been a big year for Riot for a lot of reasons. Putting the ‘s’ in Riot Games was perhaps our proudest moment as a company so far, but tending to so many new games is a delicate balance. Trying to walkthrough COVID-19, working from home, and everything else going on in the world, and it can be hard to separate the “work” and “life” pieces of the work-life equation.

There are some words from them before they officially off for a week:

“As game developers, we’re all hyper aware of the effects of crunch and project-based deadlines. We owe it to ourselves and to you to prioritize our health as a team (well, many teams) so we can bring you new experiences long into the future. 

To make sure we’re not just cramming more into the following week, we’re shifting some patches and release timelines a bit to accommodate.

Before we head out, we want to thank all of you for your patience and understanding while we step back from making games and take a little time to play them (among other things). We’ll see you on the Rift… or rushing A on Haven… or hyper rolling Xayahs on the Convergence… or grinding to 7 in a gauntlet.”

Some of the employees has also said: “We swear that we’re not robots” in order to express their feelings and tiredness. The next free week will be a good chance for them to recharge the energy which helps them concentrating more under any pressure, any circumstances.

Working among the pandemic is not a great idea at this time when it is spreading all over the world. Riot Games’s employees are trying to “stay safe, stay positive” whenever and wherever they can. And what is better than a week off, getting completely away from works and other things at the company. Trust me, there are lots of things they can do and achieve during this period of time, for 7 days.

Eleven years seems to be a very long period of the game industry. In the mean time, improvements, upgrades and something so-called “better graphics” have already changed the way we play a game. As an example for Age of Empires series, it took them almost a decade to change the entire background and many other things such as strategy, appearance, soldier units, etc.

League of Legends has also taken part in by replacing their own server from the beginning till now. It has been 11 years since the first version of LoL released in North America in 2009 approximately. We can find everything about the past versions of the game on the Internet, eBay and so on. But, the truth is, you guys can never find such a cool and impressive “artifact” of League and Legends which is called “the first game server”.

There was a very lucky guy when he received the real engine of the first LoL server couple days ago in a postal which was sent right into his house.

For the majority of gamers, when we mention the term “League of Legends server”, we will think of big areas, countries like Korea, China, Vietnam, North America, Western Europe … A bit more detailed, the characteristics of such servers like in Vietnam, they like to fight, in Korea, they play extremely tryhard or Chinese servers have a higher level of severity when sanctioning, for example.

However, we forget that in order for a server to work, a system of hardware devices is required. Recently, a gamer had the opportunity to hold a part of Riot Games history – the first generation server of League of Legends thanks to a charity auction program to raise funds against the pandemic.

And this is what he said about the amazing thing he got from the Riot:

As you all know, Riot Games has raised funds to help combat the pandemic through Riot’s Social Impact Fund. They raise money by auctioning some electronic components and collectibles like this one. So if you ever wondered what a League server would look like? Then this is one of the first servers. After having created so much fun it is now on my table. Ingredients included:

2x Intel Xeon 5430 4 core CPUs

8x 1GB PC2-5300 DDR2 RAM

1x Western Digital 256GB Hard Drive

League of Legends players are always joking and their comments ask the “owner” to return the server to Riot Games to make the game run as smoothly as possible. Perhaps the loss of connectivity, lag or countless bugs on the LMHT client makes people lose confidence in the current server and remember about the game, though primitive but at least running smoothly?

Despite being one of the gaming giants, at the time of 2009-2010, Riot Games was still a small business along with unknown developers. There was even a time when they had to … Valve (the father of DOTA2) to release League of Legends on the Steam online gaming system for gamers to access this game.

That’s why the first server game of League of Legends looks like the word “Song Dynasty” came out like that. Looking back at such difficult beginnings, you can see how far LoL has come to achieve the present success.

Many of us may still remember the first intro trailer that was made 10 years ago, old but gold… classic:

Generally, sometimes the past can be more awesome than the present in some parts. As long as you keep looking back to the previous versions, you shall discover many exciting features about the game and its “historical momentos” through 11 years.

We have already known that Miss Fortune is the champion that has most skin in League of Legends. Somehow, no one back then can overtaken this title from her for many years. Nevertheless, her crown is now has been overthrown by an other champion who is famous with the name Ezreal.

It is so unbelievable when the new Ezreal’s skin is now accompanied with the Prestige, making the total skin number up to 15 in contrast with 14 of Miss Fortune. So from now on, Ezreal may be the champion who has the most skin in the entire game.

Of course at the first look, Prestige Psyops is an remarkable and gorgeous skin that Ezreal has in the latest version of League of Legends in Patch 10.16.

This line has something for everyone. Ezreal, Master Yi, Shen, Vi, and Sona will receive these skins. Sorry, Sona mains, but the Prodigal Explorer Ezreal will have a PsyOps Prestige Edition skin that players can unlock. 

The skin looks similar to True Damage in its metallic and colorful feel but features some cool android-like sounds and effects. Thus, Ezreal can be able to attempt more physical damage on his enemies.

Although it’s unclear when these skins will be playable on the live servers, they’ll be up for purchase after they’ve been introduced on the PBE to make sure there aren’t any visual bugs or other issues with them. 

In anticipation of the expected release of these skins, players should ensure they save up some RP since these cosmetics likely won’t come cheap. 

Riot revealed the new PsyOps skin line today. The Public Beta Environment preview displayed which champions the vibrant and colorful skins will be available for. 

Let’s try this whole new skin and speak out your experiences and feelings through comments below.

Have you ever try to run like a wind into the enemy base and then take them down one by one until you die? Tell you this, there are guy who tried it for many times and it’s finally turn out to be so outstanding and breath-taking at the end of the clip.

There are some discussion upon a reddit sites, in which the name “Stuart Little“, a player who got killed by the guy in the clip from time to time, is now be shouted and blamed for the main character of a cartoon movie that has the same name. Moreover, the comment is basically focus on the poor little mouse just because his name was taken by a gamer who play as bad as this mouse’s behaviour in the movies.

How can they talk about this cute, curious and good-manner mouse like that. It is not even close to what the children nowadays usually say about Stuart for a long time (since the first part of the movie in 1999 till present).

Let’s see how hilarious and silly Stuart is when it comes to his size in the house in the video below.

Nevertheless, you can see a funny and epigrammatic point is that whoever takes this name as their nicknames will has the same fate: be make fun of, taunt, etc because of what this white mouse has carved into our mind, lead to a lot of ridiculous mindset about him.

Twitch is really amazing in the way he attacks. So enjoyable when he is being weird and then does some eccentric tricks that makes the entire match to go boom. Besides, his abilities and special equipments can help him strikes right into the nest of the enemies just in a blink of an eye. Fast, strong, heavy attack and hard to kill are what we think about him at the first sight.

Twitch is such a powerful rat and seems to be one of the strongest animal champions in League of Legends.

Wanna challenge him? Face him then and you will be sorry for have doing that.

The second quarter of 2020 marked a major turning point for esports due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is also a major impact on the global game industry.

With the COVID-19 pandemic still not under full control and people still taking steps to guide social spacing, the numbers of “gaming hours” or “hours of esports” are particularly important.

Contribute 15% and 20% respectively to help The Esports Observer build the chart above.

In related developments, Riot Games’ brand new strategy shooter, VALORANT, made its debut on The Esports Observer’s list. VALORANT became a Tier-2 group after the closed beta was released in April – the first month of the second quarter.

Although the esports segment of the game has not had much time to develop, but setting a series of records from the time of alpha test is enough to make VALORANT one of the most popular PC games at the moment.

Many major events have been cancelled, making esports organizers creative and adaptable for online tournaments. Despite the status quo of many major game titles, League of Legends and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive are still at their peak, according to a report by The Esports Observer.

LoL and CS:GO are the top two games on the rankings of the most influential PC games of Quarter II / 2020.

The Esports Observer explained that the number of players and the number of hours watching tournaments are two of the most important factors that brought League to the top of the quarter – according to research they collaborated with analytics partner Newzoo. .

On the other hand, CS:GO still organizes big and small tournaments and gives the most prize money in the second quarter compared to all other esports.

CS:GO was first released on August 2012 for Microsoft Windows and OS X through Steam and Xbox Live Arcade. The response to the review was generally positive from professional critics.

Metacritic review site for PC version total score of 83/100 based on 38 reviews from professional critics.

Thus, it has become one of the most successful first-person shooting game in this decade which is equivalent to Call of Duty series.

Moreover, CS:GO has also been a popular culture symbol for terrorists and special forces all over the world that may be seen in Crossfire which shares the same genre.

We don’t say much about League of Legends because since it first released on October 2009, this game has been showing to be one of the most remarkable and fantastic video game online for any players, for any ages.

Nothing can stand and promote so impressive like LoL nowadays, even Age of Empires 3 is not a proportional competitor to this “big guy”. League of Legends (LoL) is the eSports game with the largest community on the internet. The number of active players in LoL every day is a tremendous amount, which grows daily.

The numbers of viewers watching this competitive eSports matches in live streams has steadily grown over the years too. League of Legends betting has naturally appeared in the eSports world. There are many betting lovers that try their hand at eSports

Maybe this video below can explain something about the symbol of E-sport.

General speaking, it is so unspeakable when talking about the topic: What is the best online game ever? CS:GO or League of Legends? I cannot tell you how this quarrel can hardly stop but the fact is that they are all deserve for the that title. Every critic can say what ever they want about these games and there is a very very long time ahead to judge it in a carefully and completely way.

According to the plot, Yone was the one who pursued Yasuo after the death of the great Souma. Ironically, Yone was defeated by his younger brother in this match. After being defeated by Yasuo in a deadly battle, Yone’s soul was taken to the spirit world. However, instead of being peaceful like other spirits, Yone is noticed by azakana, the demon that eats negative emotions. After meeting Yone in the spirit world, azakana took the initiative to attack with the intention to devour his soul. But eventually Yone defeated it. When he woke up in the human world, Yone’s appearance changed with a mask attached to his face – the mask of the image of azakana that he had just defeated.

When fighting normally, Yone will use two swords in turn and always start with a normal sword. An attack from a demon sword will deal additional magic damage.
Yone’s critical chance will be doubled but critical damage will be reduced.
It can be seen that Yone’s inner self is quite similar to Sett and his younger brother Yasuo.

With the first mechanism, the silver blade will deal physical damage while the red blade will deal magic damage, allowing Yone to easily pierce hard-resistant champions.

The second mechanism will make it easier for Yone to get the same amount of early damage similar to Yasuo. With two items of critical equipment, Yone will own 100% critical strike rate and the current damage of the Return of the Dead will be a potential threat to the enemy forces.

However, with the critical damage reduced, we can hope that Yone will not be too imbalanced like other new generals when released.

Tactics and useful tips when taking Yone into the battle:

With a versatile set of skills with multiple access tools as well as a perfect teamfight for a killer form, Yone will definitely match the mid lane. In addition, we can take Yone to the top depending on the team’s tactics.

In the laning phase, Yone will not face too much difficulty when Q and W will help him easily eat soldiers. Once you have a Soul, be confident to use this skill and rush to exchange skills with the enemy when the opponent will lose blood and you will not.

However, Yone’s E skill has a weakness that the opponent can attack the body instead of Yone’s soul causing him to lose blood. And when Yone returns, the opponent can ambush and defeat Yone quickly. Therefore, using E smartly, putting your body in a safe position will make Yone comfortable to roam on the battlefield without being defeated.

When she has the ultimate Destiny, Yone will become an extremely bloody assassin with the ability to tap into the powerful enemy team.

Starting with E, Yone will confidently charge and choose the prey he aims. Yone’s ultimate will be very strong in small areas, so the nooks and crannies in the forest will become the death zone for the enemy if they fight Yone in this area. The tremendous amount of damage from R combined with the Q skill will make sure someone stays there once they are in.

When entering the enemy formation, launch W to hit as many people as possible to maximize damage as well as giving yourself a solid armor to become stronger. And after finishing the prey, activate E again to return to a safe position.

At this point, you can Ctrl 6 to fluently show off or release expressions to tease opponents as well as a reward screen after a perfect sequence of combos that you have done.

Equipments:

As for equipment, with the intrinsic similarity with his younger brother Yasuo, Yone will go up to the critical equipment that helps him easily maximize damage. Dance of Death will be an item that Yone should not ignore in the current version.

The resists, lifesteal, cooldown and extreme damage sharing mechanism make this item very suitable for a general who likes to head on enemies like Yone.

Shoes depend on the case that we will be on Ninja, Mercury or Wrath shoes accordingly.

Angel Armor to help you in a fight in the fight, Black Ax if you like to dry blood with the enemy, Ice Hammer to have both damage and a little blood or Martyrs Armor to increase the resistance when needed.

Nunu has been playing by some famous gamers such as Faker due to its performances and abilities during the match. A champion that comes from the world of ice can freezes our enemies to death on his way to their base.

If you are talking about some turrets may affect our hero, that won’t be a problem cause Nunu’s defense is literally high enough to maintain the time of surviving upon any obstacles when he gets into a fight with not just one but two or three opponents at the same time.

Apparently, Nunu can also attempts a great deal of damage on the enemies by creating a huge snowball which can protects him as well as supports other team mates to wipe out the enemies. That is how Willump proves himself to be a mighty, powerful and full of magic Yeti while carrying Nunu on his back to any battlefield.

In Patch 10.13, Nunu got buffed so much that it felt like Riot was begging us to play Nunu. In Patch 10.13, Riot made changes to two of Nunu’s abilities: Consume and Absolute Zero. Both abilities saw massive changes to the AP ratios, with consumes damage against champions and heal from monsters and minions going up by 15% and 20%, respectively. In addition, Absolute Zero’s shield also gained AP scaling at 150% AP.  Plus, he could now get a bigger shield from building more damage, a concept which is so ludicrously broken I can’t believe it would ever make it into the game (stares directly at Riven).

Indeed, Nunu mid is so overpowered now that a lot of players has choose this champion to go mid instead of Zed or Fizz in Patch 9.16 previously. Recently, there was a video on Youtube showed us the way Nunu uses bug in the map to get through walls quickly, less than 10 seconds. It is clearly that Kayn used one of his ability to make Nunu scares and then… Bang… Our lovely champion got through walls by rolling a big snowball as if he was invincible to anything. So, it means nothing can stop him then.

We all know that the map does not allows players to walk outside of the boundary along the Rift but somehow Riot can make the impossible becomes the possible from time to time. “Shocking” and “incredible” is what truly describes some watchers reactions after the clip because you may have you account locked if you have ever tried to do this at home on your own PC.

The world of E-sport is full of surprises as always. Since Nunu has been upgraded from the old form into the new one, more and more “weird things” has happen in any circumstances. One under reported aspect of Patch 10.13 was the sudden and inexplicable rise of mid lane Nunu. Once a niche pick with barely a noticeable pick rate in Diamond plus, Nunu mid saw its pick rate spike in the last week of June and the first week of July. Today, Nunu mid currently has a pick rate of almost 3.5% and professional League of Legends players like Faker are even trying out the pick.

Nothing much to say, if one day you try to find some bug in the game and succeed, don’t you ever upload it on Youtube. You will not want to become “notorious” by Riot or some other gamers who shares the same interest as you. This will do the trick for someone else but not for you, sadly.

Jason Killingworth is best regarded for his own reputation in many games which come from this studio.

For somebody who does not know anything about this creative director, I bet 10$ you will keep asking the same question:

“Where does this guy has this weird family name? For hunting demons and slaying witches?” because it is clearly not a common family name for such a standard American like him.

Sometimes a name can make a person look cooler and more mysterious instead of using the real name. Jason may feels a little bit arrogant and heroic as he set the name as “Killingworth”.

When I first saw this guy few days ago, I was asking myself that why killing someone is worth and how much does it worth?

But, seriously, most of his creations are based on “killing” and “worthy” in every cutscenes and movements. Creative as he is, Jason Killingworth has proved to be one of the most successful creative director in America, not just in Riot Games.

Many of his “Dark Souls” book are really fascinating and then quickly become famous to all kind of readers since the original game has the same name was released few years ago.

It is the truth to claim that winning the “Dark Soul” is so hard that a lot of players have to give up in the middle of the game and some of them decide to get away from it for a time without finding more tactics and schemes to gain a glorious victory.

Hard but fun is so addictive for many people but not for those guys, indeed. As a fan of “Call of Duty” series it is frustrating for me to win a round in “Dark Soul” without losing any life. Of course it is almost impossible but if Jason created it, it would be a great deal to solve by brain and fingers that 24 hours a day may not be enough for you to stand a chance of winning this one.

Too busy to set up everything is really frustrating with somebody, especially Jason here after 6 years of business.

Due to Jason “early retirement”, we shall not see “Dark Soul” series to raise once again but if Riot Games still want to continue the chaos and raise nightmares among players, they will find a replacer who can carry on and in charge of what Killingworth created before.

“I am extremely grateful for all of the investments that Riot has made in his personal and professional development. I started out as a writer and started out as a director.” creative director. I have thoughtful, world-class advisers: Kieran Weir, Tom Bramwell, Ben Noskeau, John Battle – they are the ones who cheered and supported me. ” He said.

During his time working for League of Legends publisher, Jason Killingsworth devoted himself to creating and building League events. In addition, he is the spokesperson and helps Riot succeed in the field of marketing.

Jason Killingsworth concluded: “Working at Riot is a dream job and I will always put this job in my CV with pride.”
With his experience, his departure is a real loss for Riot Games.

With a modest starting capital of only 130 millions USD, his company has released its first title, “You Died”.

Soon or later, we still don’t know for sure but the previous three parts has already become a living legend.
