'London is ready to level up and lead the world in esports': Mayor of London wants to use big events to stimulate economy and create opportunities for young people

As a Brit, I know London for many things: the always slightly too warm but no less incredible 'tube' transport network, all the times I've overheard my fellow Brits mistake the Houses of Parliament for 'a big church,' and black snot. Okay, maybe that last one was oversharing. Anyway the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, wan...

League of Legends patch 26.13 is finally dealing with its Senna problem

Of all of League of Legends' 170+ champions, few have caused as many balancing headaches as Senna. I cannot tell you how many times I've seen The Redeemer rise and fall from prominence over the years, and her passive, Absolution, must be one of the MOBA's most-tweaked at this point. Well, Senna's turned into a soloq mo...

There's rumors of a League of Legends Classic, and I'm not sure how I feel about it

In many ways, the 'Classic' trend began with Old School RuneScape. Stripping away all of the game's shiny new bells and whistles and harkening back to the good ol' days of chopping down trees and leveling up professions, Jagex kickstarted one of the most prolific trends in online videogames. World of Warcraft Classic a...

Now-deleted TFT job post hints that it could be moving to Unreal Engine

League Next is on the way, with the evolution of League of Legends set to bring generational upgrades to its Hextech Engine. However, since Riot Games let the cat out of the bag back in December, my big question has been: 'what about Teamfight Tactics?' Well, Riot may have indicated what the auto-chess game's future ho...

Secretlab's CEO is getting tough on copycat chairs and doesn't feel pressure to adopt AI: 'If we were owned by outside investors, you can bet that AI will be somehow jammed down our throats'

As I sit down in a studio made up to look like a swanky apartment, I have to come to an unfortunate realisation. Sitting across from me is someone who was, like me, born in 1992. His name is Ian Ang and he is the CEO of a very successful furniture business, while I just have the pleasure of asking him about it.We're sa...

Riot finally unveils Locke, League of Legends' Ashen Exorcist

Locke has been living rent-free in my head for the better part of three months. As anyone who's read my work knows, I have a thing for vampires and demons; I'm obsessed with the gothic, horror aesthetic to a point where I should probably seek some help. Locke, then, is perfect for me: midlane assassin, tick. Devil May...

Don't let Deadlock's MOBA tag scare you offβ€”there's a quick play mode for dummies which is the perfect entry point

I have a very short history with MOBAsβ€”apart from being dragged into one too many League of Legends games, I've tried to keep my exposure to a minimum. But that all changed when Valve semi-released Deadlock into alpha. It's been almost two years since I started playing, and almost 100 hours later, and despite being one...

Riot devs are LARPing as Thresh on X, and that's because he's surprise dropping into 2XKO

I'll happily admit that I'm a Senna stan. I've been in love with the character ever since she released, with her gun-touting approach to the Support role offering something completely unique and, oftentimes, completely broken. But beyond just her kit andΒ that High Noon skin, I'm obsessed with Senna's lore. Once caged i...

League of Legends system requirements 2026

League of Legends is over fifteen years old now - yes, that one hurt me, too. As a result, it runs on pretty much everything; I spent my glory years playing on my MacBook pro with Dr Dre Beats headphones and a crappy gaming mouse. Unironically, that's when I reached my peak rank, depressing as that sounds. If you're ne...

League Of Legends Team Goes On Miracle Run After Winning Just 7 Percent Of Its Games

Simply put, underdog stories rarely pan out in League of Legends. The game's top teams have the resources and history necessary to attract the best players, which directly results in a level of dominance that's hard for contenders to upset.

All LoL skins tiers, how to get them on sale
