League of Legends

In 2009, Riot Games developed and launched League of Legends (LoL), also referred to as League, as a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) video game. The inspiration behind creating this standalone game in the MOBA genre came from the Warcraft III custom map called Defence of the Ancients. Since its release in October 2009, League has been a free-to-play game, generating revenue through the sale of customizable character skins.

It is compatible with both macOS and Microsoft Windows operating systems.In the game, there are two teams of five players each, and they engage in player-versus-player combat while defending and occupying their respective halves of the battlefield. A figure known as a "champion" that each of the ten players controls has special skills and a different playing style. 

League of Legends 13.8 Patch Notes

Make careful to mark those remaining because on May 2 thirteen teams from all over the world will compete for the title of MSI Champion. Prepare for some fierce competition as this patch also introduces a new tournament format that will shake things up. While we address some of the overperforming picks like Jarvan IV, Malphite, and Rakan, this will take the shape of benefits for some underutilized champions like Ezreal, Leona, and Lillia.

League of Legends 13.8 Patch Notes: Items

COSMIC DRIVE

The Cosmic Drive stat shuffle made the item a bit more popular. This change aims to lower the barrier to entry of the passive portion of the item and make it more broadly accessible to mages by removing the old passive and replacing it with a new one. By moving the passive AP into the base stats of the item, the skill test of this item is being reduced so players aren’t burdened as much about sequencing their abilities for the offensive payoff of the item. 

  • Ability Power: 90 ⇒ 100
  • Unique Passive - Spelldance: Damaging a champion (excluding damage over time) generates a stack of 2.5% Movement Speed every 1.5 seconds for the next 5 seconds up to 4 stacks (10% Movement Speed). At 4 stacks, gain an additional 10% Movement Speed (20% Movement Speed total). Dealing damage refreshes this effect. (Note: You only need to deal 1 instance of damage for it to start adding stacks on its own periodically. You then only need to hit them once again after a delay to fully stack it. You don't need to hit them 4 times 1.5 seconds apart. The intent here is that one spell does not fully stack the passive.)
