Foreseen Yasuo

The season 2024 cinematic “Still Here”, offering a captivating glimpse into the potential future of Runeterra, showcased an unexpected iteration of Yasuo—an aged warrior adorned with a windswept white beard and a weathered demeanor.

Riot Games, in keeping with the cinematic theme, has promised that the forthcoming skin, named Foreseen Yasuo, will serve as a tribute to their commitment to delivering content on the Rift that ties into lore.

In this cinematic portrayal, Yasuo adopts a different style compared to his familiar self, no longer wielding his trademark wind technique with the same youthful vigor. Instead, the aged Yasuo finds himself compelled to once again embrace his abilities, this time to safeguard a village in Ionia. This narrative twist offers League of Legends players a unique perspective on the well-known swordsman.

Andrei van Roon, the head of the League studio, further clarified that Foreseen Yasuo would not be part of the “Traditional” skin line. Instead, this new skin is envisioned as a glimpse into what “might unfold in the future of canon Runeterra.” It distinguishes itself from alternate takes or representations of previously told stories.

The anticipation surrounding Foreseen Yasuo injects a refreshing breeze of change into the League of Legends cosmetic landscape. Players are encouraged to prepare for this wind-swept journey as Yasuo gracefully confronts the future with style.

The introduction of the skin marks a significant step forward in Riot Games’ ongoing efforts to enrich the game’s narrative and provide players with a deeper connection to the world of Runeterra.

Yasuo is one of the most popular characters in League of Legends, so it’s no surprise that he was one of the first characters unveiled for Project L, the new League of Legends fighting game.

Riot Games today released a new teaser for its future League of Legends combat game, codenamed “Project L,” as well as a new playable character, The Unforgiven.

The champion’s audience popularity in League of Legends, paired with his fighting game-like playstyle in League, makes him an ideal fit for Project L.

Yasuo Gameplay revealed for Project L

Alex Jaffe, Project L’s lead champion designer, outlined his kit in the video demonstrating what he’s capable of. 

He unveiled some of the more intricate components of his kit, such as the fact that he has various postures and uses iconic elements of his League abilities, such as his Wind Wall and tornadoes.

Yasuo can transition between stances that sheathe his sword, allowing him to wind up for some powerful blows. His normals have a great amount of range and sweep across big swaths of the screen, in addition to his utility.

His kit appears to be inspired by Nagoriyuki from Guilty Gear: Strive, with aspects of a fast swordfighter like Vergil from Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3.

Previous trailers of the fighting game looked extremely promising, and Yasuo’s gameplay continues to amaze. The animation is as beautiful as ever, with tonnes of personality, and Yasuo’s moveset appears to be highly diverse.

 While no release date has been set for Project L, we may expect to hear more about Yasuo and the other available characters from the EVO 2023 playtest.

Riot Games has stepped in with yet another round of modifications with the League of Legends Patch 13.15, including a couple of enhancements to champions that many players already find difficult to play against.

Riot has discussed their plan to balancing for the remainder of the year and this patch. Kai’Sa, the Wind brothers, and other champions will be receiving some changes.

League of Legends Patch 13.15 Preview

Riot Phroxzon, lead designer on the League of Legends balancing team, teased fans today with a glance at the Patch 13.15 preview.

Champion Buffs

• Caitlyn
• Gwen
• Nami
• Taliyah
• Yasuo
• Yone

Champion Nerfs

• Aatrox
• Ivern
• Kai’Sa
• Maokai
• Naafiri
• Sejuani
• Shyvana

Champion Adjustments

• Annie
• Heimerdinger
• Rell
• Yorick

System Nerfs

• Glacial Augment
• Night Harvester
• Smite on Champion Pets

While just a few champions are eligible for buffs, the specific faces that comprise this group are somewhat startling: not only are they already incredibly powerful, but they’re all largely regarded as meta or somewhat-meta selections.

Patch 13.15 will see the buff of six champions. Yasuo and Yone are both getting buffed. Since Yasuo and Yone have comparable stats, if these buffs target that feature of them specifically, they will most certainly receive the identical changes.

Seven champions are being nerfed, with Ivern appearing to bear the brunt of the damage. Kai’Sa is also getting nerfed, although to what amount is unclear. Overall, it appears like this is aimed at many of the pro play and Solo Queue games. However, how big of an impact it has on the champion remains to be seen.

The Smite interaction with summons and pets will be nerfed, resulting in adjustments to the durability of Annie’s Tibbers, Yorick’s Maiden of the Mist, and Hermerdinger’s turrets. Rell also appears in this area, indicating yet another round of adjustments affecting the champion who recently received a big midscope updates.

According to the official patch schedule, patch 13.15 for League of Legends is set to be released on August 2, 2023.

Riot holds enormous events across all of its titles every summer. This year will be no exception.

Around the same time last year, we received the Star Guardian event. It took place across several Riot titles, including League of Legends, Wild Rift, Legends of Runeterra, and Teamfight Tactics. While the idea was similar, each game in this event presented something completely distinct.

Riot has recently released a teaser that teases much of the forthcoming content in Wild Rift during this event.  A new game mode, a new “meta-game,” new objectives, and, most importantly, new skins are among the major contents.

Wild Rift players, in particular, will be treated to an exclusive story centred on Yasuo and Draven competing in the Tournament of Souls, similar to those seen in previous Sentinels of Light and Star Guardian events. Those who wish to put their talents to the test can participate in the mobile title’s limited-time “Tag Duel” mode, which plays similarly to a tag fighting game.

The Soul Fighter cast will also appear drastically different in Wild Rift compared to Lol, with none of the LoL skins making their way into Wild Rift. Instead, Wild Rift will receive six unique skins that only its players will be able to use, including Nilah’s debut skin.

Champions that has the highest AFK rate

According to League of Graphs data, the title went to the two brothers Yasuo and Yone last year, with a 1.14% AFK rate averaged across all areas, followed by Yone at 1.01%. This year, though, we have a new king.

According to the website League of Graphs, Sett is the champion with the greatest AFK rate across all regions. He grabs the top of the iceberg with an outstanding 1.8%.

Nonetheless, there are a few variations in the list based on each region. EUW and NA are two of the most popular League of Legends servers, with a large number of players. And, according to League of Graphs statistics, Yone has the most AFKs at 1.46%, closely followed by his brother Yasuo with 1.44% on EUW.

On the North American server, though, another champion is at the top. Yone comes in second with a 1.24% rate, while Sylas takes the top spot with 1.49%.

While it is fun to know about these interesting statistics, the AFK situations in League of Legends has been increasingly occurred.

Riot has a tool called LeaverBuster that identifies these kind of players and punishes them accordingly. Players that frequently go AFK will be placed in the “low priority queue.”

Riot has classified players into levels based on how frequently they have gone AFK and disrupted a gaming environment. The penalty will differ depending on the rank they are on. Riot has also said that they will offer warnings before imposing any of the following sanctions.

Furthermore, whether their side wins or loses, games in which someone leaves will always count as a defeat for that individual.

So, it’s probably not the best idea to leave the game, huh?

Many items were updated in League of Legends Patch 13.10, and some things also underwent categorization changes. Due to the nerfs to several champions’ essential item and the subsequent drop in win rates that occurred as a result of these modifications, Riot promptly published a hotfix buff patch.

Three champions, including Yasuo, Yone, and Kindred have been added to the hotfix buff list, but before LoL Patch 13.11 goes live in two weeks, we expect to see several further hotfixes.

Patch 13.10 Hotfix Buffs

Yasuo Buffs

• HP growth: 101 ⇒ 110
• Passive shield: 100-575 ⇒ 125-600
• W cooldown: 30/27/24/21/18 seconds ⇒ 25/23/21/19/17/15 seconds

Yone Buffs

• Base Armor: 28 ⇒ 30
• HP growth: 99 ⇒ 105
• W cooldown: 16~6 seconds, scaling with bonus attack speed ⇒ 14~6 seconds, scaling with bonus attack speed
• W shield: 35-55 (levels 1-18) (+55% bonus AD) ⇒ 45-65 (levels 1-18) (+65% bonus AD)

Kindred Buffs

• HP growth: 99 ⇒ 104
• AD growth: 2.5 ⇒ 3.25
• E Crit Threshold: 15-65% target max health, scaling with crit chance ⇒ 25-75% target max health, scaling with crit chance

Kraken Slayer and Immortal Shieldbow being reclassified as legendary items have really changed the way these champions interact with those items, hence, Riot is balancing it in the patch hotfix.

Riot will increase Yasuo and Yone sustain because both rely on the item Immortal Shieldbow. Riot will shorten the cooldown of Yasuo’s wind wall, which serves as his main defensive mechanism.

Similar to this, Yone’s W’s shield is what keeps him alive. So Riot somewhat improved his shield.

Although Kindred doesn’t require Immortal Shieldbow, her HP growth has also been improved, which is a cool change. Her AD growth and E crit threshold rise, however, are the key bonuses.

If this hotfix is insufficient, we may anticipate Riot giving these champions significant upgrades in the upcoming updates. Though Riot has previously said that LoL Patch 13.11 would be a balance-follow-up one for all the changes that were implemented on live servers in this update, there may be further changes.

Riot will release brand-new Inkshadow skins for the 2023 Mid-Season Invitational. This validates earlier rumours regarding future champion skins, but there are a few unexpected ones unveiled that will surprise most people.

With the League of Legends skins team back in full force, Season 13 will see the release of another new skin line. This time, we’re celebrating MSI 2023 and all of the activity in London.

League of Legends Inkshadow skin line

Riot has picked seven champions to receive skins, and although some of the champions receive their yearly skin, Riot has also included several champions that have been long overdue for a new skin.

The skin line will include several colour combinations as well as an ink-like undertone. The sound effect includes an ink-like sounds as well as all of the abilities and auto attacks, leaving some strokes of dense ink as expected from an inkbrush.

Luckily, some splash arts have been leaked, but not all of them as Aurelion Sol and Yone Inkshadow are still lurking around.

Master Yi

Tier: Legendary

Price: 1820RP

Volibear

Tier: Epic

Price: 1350RP

Kai’sa

Tier: Epic

Price: 1350RP

Udyr

Tier: Epic

Price: 1350RP

Yasuo

Tier: Epic

Price: 1350RP

Yasuo: Prestige Edition

Price: 2000 Tokens

Master Yi will receive his second legendary skin, while Yasuo will receive his second prestige skin.

Inkshadow Yasuo will be a black and green colour combination with a toxic-like appearance. Prestige Inkshadow Yasuo, on the other hand, will be sparklier, with a colour combination that falls between blue and purple. The Prestige edition’s appearance surely adds another level to the skin.

While some of the skins will be available on the PBE for 13.8, Riot has said that all Inkshadow skins will be available on live servers in LoL Patch 13.9 and Patch 13.10.

Riot Games has revealed the release schedules for the new Inkshadow skinline, which will be available on April 4 and April 18.

Andrei “Meddler” Van Roon, the director of League studios, verified new cosmetic designs, or new skin line, will be presented for both the Mid-Season Invitational event and the 2023 Summer event in a dev blog published earlier this March.

Following that is the leaks of the skin’s concept, said to be a hybrid between Blood Moon and the Supreme Cells skin line from Wild Rift. And today, Riot has finally announced that the event’s skinline will include Master Yi, Yone, Aurelion Sol, Kai’Sa, Udyr, Volibear, and Yasuo, who will also receive a new Prestige skin.

The Inkshadow skinline modernises the old arts of ink, with vibrant colours distinguishing each champion and their powers, and only Udyr altering its scheme depending on the Stance used.

Although the theme does not appear to be to preserve with the MSI event’s, the hard effect and sounds so similar to paint strokes and ink drops lead one to believe that the team behind these new cosmetics seems to understand well with the word “dope”.

Only one month until the 2023 MSI begins, but League players will be able to enjoy the events beginning two days from now thanks to the newly-released Inkshadow skins.

With the skin line revealed ahead of the event’s start, players can now concentrate completely on the final few matches of the regional contests in preparation for the start of the MSI 2023.

A fascinating leak has lately surfaced. A potential roster of 23 champions for the in-development fighting game Project L has been leaked, although this should be treated with caution. After all, Riot Games has not verified any of this, which adds to the speculative nature of the situation.

Riot sent out a poll in June 2022 that included a large number of League of Legends champions. Players were asked, “How would you describe your relationship with the champions below?” for each of the 22 named champions.

According to Innovate Gaming, the poll inquired what made these champions memorable as well as the distinctive attributes of these champions. When you consider that this is reportedly from a Riot Games poll, it’s also not exactly a leak.

It is, nevertheless, intriguing information concerning Project L’s future. Given that these champions are all quite active in League of Legends, it’s probable that this poll was tied to the game.

Here is the potential roster of Project L:

• Ahri
• Akali
• Braum
• Blitzcrank
• Darius
• Ekko
• Ezreal
• Illaoi
• Jinx
• Katarina
• Karma
• Kindred
• Lux
• Rengar
• Riven
• Senna
• Sett
• Thresh
• Vi
• Yasuo
• Teemo
• Samira
• Zed

All 6 champions on this list are already confirmed. Also, when Illaoi was introduced, the development team stated that they were investigating what made the character unique.

While not all of these champions will be included in Project L, many of them will be from the start. It would make an excellent starting lineup for a fighting game. Instead of being viewed as a misstep on Riot Games’ side, this is an excellent method to generate anticipation for their future game by allowing fans to guess on what champions could be worthy of in-game.

According to statistics from League of Graphs, Yasuo and his brother Yone have the greatest AFK rate of any champion mains in the game.

Yasuo mains are at the top of the list, with a 1.14% AFK rate averaged across all regions, followed by Yone mains at 1.01%.

However, there are a few variances in the list according to the area. On the Europe West server, for example, Yone has a 0.85% AFK rate, which puts him ahead of Yasuo. However, in NA, the 2 champions barely make it into the top five, with champions such as Xin Zhao, Irelia, and Jax ahead of them.

Yasuo and Yone, League of Legends’ half-brothers, rarely make it past the champion select screen. But when they do, they leave an indelible mark on the game. The two brothers, in the perspective of the League of Legends community, are among the “most broken” champions in the game.

Yasuo, as one of the most-played champions in the game, has swiftly risen to become one of the game’s most frightening champions, but for the wrong reasons. People are frequently afraid that if they see such players, they will not be as excellent as they claim.

Instead, players are feared of his inting and AFK behavior, as supposed to many Yasuo players. Yone also falls into the same situation, but not as critical as his brother.

The 2 brothers are difficult champions to learn and master since they have rather challenging skill sets to develop. With an all-in playstyle and a lack of escape capabilities, the two champions may quickly feed multiple of kills if their abilities are used carelessly.

Yasuo and Yone must also take advantages in lane in order to fully snowball their way into the late game, or else they will have little to no influence on the subsequent teamfights compared to other selections.
