Can bard still pull off baron/drag steals during his magical journeys do you know? Read more

Oh man, thanks! Def gonna have to check that out, sounds awesome. I haven’t been paying nearly enough attention to the whole pro/esports scene in League yet since I’m still trying to just get my feet on the ground. Hopefully by the time...I dunno...season 15 or 20 starts I’ll understand enough? Read more

Thank you for the feedback! These are certainly issues I’ve been wrestling with very often as of late. Separate from my personal noob-status in the game, there’s also a massive literacy/fluency gap between League players and other gamers who don’t have any experience with League (i.e., many of our readers).

Thank you so much for the kind words! TBH, a big part of my inspiration in asking to be assigned to League was because I was thinking of gamers/readers like you, as opposed to League’s massive existing community. I know that League demands a ton of time and energy to get into and enjoy—things that many people don’t Read more

Between you and me, Omega Squad Teemo was supposed to be part of my signing bonus. Last time I make the mistake of not reading the fine print!! Read more

The going rate is 10 Riot Points per blog post. It’s a pretty crummy deal when you think about it—“ultimate skins” costs a whopping 3250 RP at this point, so this per-post bribery rate means I’m gonna have to turn out 325 pieces of League-focused blogging content if I can ever even hope to afford that Omega Squad Read more

Nerfs and buffs do happen all the time...keeping better track of them is something I hope more game journalists start to do! Read more

heh yeah I caught that in another part right before publishing...something funny happened when pasting from google docs. just another day with Kinja I guess! Read more

Wait, seriously, HOTS has been more toxic??? I’ve never heard that before, and assumed from reputation that it was the total opposite. If you have any good info/more details on this, please hit me up! Yannick.LeJacq@kotaku.com. Read more

Right?? Plus I mean, just look at the facts here: it hasn’t just survived for almost 15 years, it’s also been ridiculously successful for that long. How many movies/film franchises can say that? Its endurance speaks for itself, IMO. Read more

I have not, this article was meant to be in preparation for its release (got delayed a day bc of stupid reasons). I’m gonna go see FF7 as soon as humanly possible. Don’t you dare spoil it or I WILL END YOU Read more

I really like it too! It’s just hard to include in any FF treatment IMO because I just don’t think it relates very well. I know people will point out that it does connect, but let’s be honest...it’s like the extended universe literature for the FF series so far. That doesn’t say anything about its quality, but not Read more

No worries! I really appreciate it when people call out my typos. I have a lot of them, as you seem to have noticed already : ) Read more

No. The best way to watch this series is in a row, in the correct order, in a single day. Read more
