Before long, four dragon slayers, humble and noble.

Dragon Slayer Vayne


Dragon Slayer Jarvan


Dragon Slayer Pantheon


And finally,

Dragon Slayer Braum - the Heart of Freljord


These four Dragon Slayer skins are one of a kind. The newest skins are the Dragon Slayer

Pantheon and Dragon Slayer Braum. All of these splash arts demonstrate a link to dragons

in one way or another.

Braum Released

Feats of Braum

THE FEATS OF BRAUM!!

Braum is known for his kindness to others and also his mustache. 

In the newly released video of Braum he is presented doing acts of good among his home town.

Proving uncomparable strength, heroic thoughts, ability to withstand and courage to help.

Enjoy.

Braum Champion Spotlight

Braum's Champion Spotlight introduces way to play him.

It suggests that Braum must build

• Health
• Magic Resist
• Armor
• and Tenacity

The reasons for this is because Braum will be up front taking all the damage from both Attack Damage champions as well as Ability Power champions. Braum will also encounter stuns, taunts, slows and disables where Tenacity comes in use to shorten the duration of these effects.

SKT Championship Skins

The SKT championship skins are her to stay!

The champions have re-animated abilities too - there is also a very attractive ward skin shown to

the right.

Some of the animations are below:

Introducing to you all - Atlantean Syndra!

The Atlantean Syndra skin is a gorgeous skin with its unique properties.

Syndra uses her spheres of water to damage her enemies with this skin.

She is able to manipulate the spheres of water to her liking which makes her an individual as a

champion.

Below is an image showing Syndra's kit with this skin.

Introducing Twitches new and improved look.

Twitch being one of the older champions was due a rework it was only a matter of time before it

occurred.

Twitches animations, looks, skins, voice, movement and splash art have all been changed and

updated for the best.

Taking a look at the visual update - his animations and new look:

Braum Revealed

Braum is the biggest release since Jinx was released in early december.

The build up for Braums release has been massive and there is yet plenty of information to come in

the next few weeks.

This little tease has people biting their tongues waiting for the release!

4.6 Patch Notes

In the 4.6 Patch Notes for League of Legends there have been several notable changes.

These changes include the champions:

• Aatrox
• Kassasin
• Rengar
• Twitch
• Gragas
• Maokai and
• Rumble

There has only been one alter to an item on Summoners Rift, Wriggles Lantern.

While also having an update on the Summoner spell Heal 

The effect if Heal has been reduced to allies who have already been healed this is due to the 

overwhelming amount of heals being used by one team. The objective of this nerf is to reduce

The amount of people using the summoner spell heal on a team.

Some minor updates on the Howling Abyss, Twisted Treeline and Crystal Scar maps. 

Concept Art (Twisted Fate)

Twisted Fate has been a loved champion by everyone. Recently he has had a rework to his visual

appearance as well as his animations and voice. 

Twisted Fate has had so many wonderful art concepts and I would like to show you one of my 

personal favorites of his concept arts.

 

A Noxus Twisted Fate skin would rather, contrast the rest of his skins.

Although it may contrast his current skins this skin would most defiantly suit him regardless.

URF!

URF (Ultra Rapid Fire) is loved by everyone. The game mode where everything serious about the game has been

removed. Mana costs were removed and cooldowns were all reduced to 80%.

This game mode brought a whole new experience to League of Legends. It allowed for players

to jump out of their serious game play and step into a crazy house of fun!

So, after URF being so popular during its time available it has been decided that URF will be

coming back in one way or another.

Void Vizz

The creepy void champion Fizz just got more creepy with his new scary yet cool skin.

Fizz is one of those champions that you just want to forget. He is capable of jumping into the

enemy team, killing the high priority targets, and then jumping back out without a scratch.

Fizz's new skin Void Fizz comes with new animations, voice and splash art.

Below are the abilities:

4.5 Bot Update

The 4.5 Bot Update is focused around improving and further developing the AI part of the game.

Whilst in a game against a bot there were some evident and unrealistic properties which they

held. Such as running into a team without retaliation and following for a kill for far too long.

The following are the changes:

• Improved evaluation of enemy and friendly strength.
• Improved understanding of tower mechanics and power.
• Improved behaviors while under high threat.
• Improved lane rotation decision making.
• Improved last hitting with auto-attacks both when farming normally and when pushing.
• Lane behaviors (harassing vs. farming, etc) are now more in line with human behaviors.
• Bots now attempt to dodge some skill shots.
• Beginner bots now build recommended items, while Intermediate bots now make more advanced item choices.
• Bots now scan their surroundings at variable rates depending on difficulty setting and in-game threat level.

SKT skins will be avaliable for the champions

• Impact's Jax
• Bengi's Lee Sin
• Faker's Zed

Super Galaxy Rumble is ready to ROCK!

The new Super Galaxy Rumble skin is ready to rock.

It is a flashy new skin which is proven to be modern.

Rumble with flames, rockets and blasts of fun.

Below is a peek at his new abilities:

URF Top Plays

Oh, the beloved URF. During the short period of time URF was available there were some funny

and memorable moments.

First off was a showdown between two LeBlanc's:

Next off is a Riven play, catch me if you can!:

Lastly here is the famous perma-stun by Brand:

These are just a few of the many funny moments on URF.

Concept Art (Thresh)

Officer Thresh??

Officer Thresh is a cool concept for a Thresh skin. Hoping to clean up the streets of Summoners

Rift with his groovy police lights and hand cuff hook!

There isn't much known about the progress of this skin however, is it said there will be

avalable 3D models of this skin soon.

I would like to thank MrBrobaFett on deviantart his deviantart is here:

Concept Art (Orianna)

Orianna is my own personal favorite champion.

She is my favorite because of her diverse and unique game play.

I love a challenge when I play video games and Orianna provides just this.

Orianna is a mechanical robot created by her father once he discovered his daughter passed away.

The robot acted as a replacement for his daughter, to fill that empty spot.

This art concept art is my most loved piece of concept art and I would love to see it come to life!!

Rune Page Balance ~

Introducing some new balanced changed to runes!!

With this new update there will be some changes to

• Seals
• Glyphs and 
• Quintessences

Seals and Glyphs have had nerfs to the runes containing straight armor and health however, armor 

and health Seals and Glyphs which scale over the game duration have been buffed. This has been 

done to see more use for runes in the late game as well as the early game.

The Quintessence updates have effected cooldowns, lifesteal, and attack speed.

Cooldowns have been increased up to level 18.

Lifesteal has been reduced from 2% > 1.5%

Attack Speed has been increased.

Introducing the new Feature Team Builder!

Team builder has been introduced to bring more League of Legends together rather than pulling

them apart from all the fighting over what role they are going to play.

In Team Builder, summoners are able to select what role they want to play; for example they can

choose what lane they want to be in, they can choose what sort of champion they want to play

and finally they can choose how they want to play that champion. The reason Team Builder works

so well is because the players can select who they want on their teams. So, every team can be

as weird as they want it to be without having any problems with their allies.


It has recently been announced that Team Builder is officially a new game mode and it's in the

game for good!

Arctic Ops Varus Release!!

It's about time Varus got a new and improved skin. However, Varus' new skin isn't any ordinary

skin it's equipped with some awesome features and he suits the theme perfectly.

Here are some of the animations:



This skin has proven that Riot Games know how to create skins for their champions while also

being able to make the skin suitable for the champions play style and the bunch of people who

play Varus, thus making this a very worth buy for all the Varus players out there.

Super Galaxy Rumble!! ---

Here we have been given a sneak peek at the ever so exciting new Super Galaxy Rumble SKIN!

So far this is all that we have on this skin.

From this image we can note that Rumble is sitting inside a modern piece of technology.

Given from the name of the skin, Super Galaxy Rumble, it also hints to us that it would have to be

some sort of space technology.

Will we be seeing explosions and missiles or laser beams? Who knows?

Heimerdinger Visual Update

The long wait and evident Heimerdinger changes are finally in action!

With Heimerdingers awesome mechanics, he has been rebuilt with awesome rockets, turrets and

upgrades.

Below is the animations and groovy rework for Heimer!



I think we're all excited fro this new release of Heimerdinger.

The Hero of a Fallen City

Another peek at a little bit of Rumble. There isn't much at this point about Rumble, this is all we've

got so far. In the weeks to come I'm sure there will be more hints to this developing skin.

The Remaking of Xerath

It has been forever since they have actually released the rework of Xerath. They announced it

months and months ago and only now it is actually happening. Yes, I am glad they have updated

his kit because it was a little out-dated. Riot preformed this re-work because they want to

modernize the older champions of League of Legends.

Here is a video of Xerath's rework on the PBE

Hexakill!!!

Hexakill bringing a whole new experience to League of Legends. Creating and allowing for more

strategies, out plays and much more!

Hexaikll was loved by everyone however, like all good things it ended.

Although, Hexakill will surely be back one day for everyone to enjoy!

Vel'Koz Concept Art

Along with the release of Vel'Koz there was also the release of his 'Battlecast Skin' which is

outstanding and suitable for this champion.

Here's a little view of his kit:

Vel'Koz

Vek’Koz – the newest champion is League of Legends. Kel’Koz brings a whole new aspect to the game, with his unique setup and play style. Although he is somewhat mobile he makes up in damage however, Vel’Koz’s damage is only optimal through a combination of other spells. To play him successfully you need to consistently hit spells because the more you hit the more damage they deal. Due to this aspect of Vek’Koz, he becomes a high risk high reward champion. Vel’Koz respectively fits into the middle lane, this being because he is an ability power champion _, meaning he is able to deal high bursts of damage.
