League of Legends Guides, Tier Lists and Strategy

Ten moments where two kits collide and the game produces something nobody designed on purpose. Half of these decide games. All of them are funny.

League has a few hundred abilities that all have to work against each other, and the interesting part is what happens at the seams.

Every one of these picks gets somebody typing "?" in chat at champion select. Every one of them also wins bot lanes, which is the part nobody mentions afterwards.

Off-meta support isn't the same thing as bad support. The role rewards two things above all else, and neither one is on the support item: you need to make the enemy bot lane uncomfortable standing where they want to stand, and you need to still matter at minute twenty-five. Plenty of champions nobody thinks of as supports do both.

Some champions are balanced. These ones are jokes the community has been telling for over a decade, and it turns out that's a much harder thing to kill.

Riot can nerf a win rate. Riot cannot nerf a running gag. There's a small group of champions whose reputation stopped having anything to do with how good they are years ago, and every one of them is still doing fine.
