Baron is not a health bar with a timer on it. He picks a form, rebuilds his own pit, decides which of your five he's soft on, and hands out a buff that belongs to your minions more than it belongs to you. Here's the whole objective, start to finish.

An enchanter with a Smite, clearing camps out of a campfire instead of a jungle item's raw damage. Jungle Milio is exactly as risky as it sounds, and exactly as fun when it works.
Jungle Milio is a pick nobody has actually tried in Ranked Solo/Duo, and for a very honest reason: he has almost no real clear damage. But Cozy Campfire [W] heals anyone standing in it, including Milio himself, and that alone is enough sustain to out-tank a slow clear long enough to reach the point where Warm Hugs [E] and Breath of Life [R] start winning fights his teammates could never win alone.
So how does this actually work?

Read morePatch 26.16 Tier List Analysis:
We're a week into Patch 26.16 and the forecast is mostly holding up. Nasus is taking top lane exactly as called, the mages are coming out of bot lane exactly as called, and support hasn't moved an inch. This is where 26.16 stands right now, how our day one predictions are scoring, and the duos winning and losing games underneath the rankings.

Nobody on this team owns a reverse gear. Every button these five champions have points forward, and one of them hands out extra lives when that goes wrong.

He had no ultimate, no dash, no ranged ability and no crowd control worth the name, and he still ran the entire early map.
Old Udyr never needed to go home. That sentence sounds small until you remember that going home was the only window most junglers of this era ever gave you.

The worst part of an Akali game isn't the damage. It's the two seconds where she's standing right in front of you and your abilities refuse to target her.
Everybody has lost a fight they were winning because an Akali dropped a smoke cloud in the middle of it. The shroud is the ability that makes her feel unfair, and the frustration is completely legitimate, because being unable to click on the champion killing you isn't a skill issue. It's also the ability her counters are built around.
Check out our top Akali counters below for more information on how to beat her!

First pick is the worst seat in champion select. You lock in blind, they get to answer you, and if your champion has a long list of bad lanes you're behind before minions spawn.
Some champions barely care. We went through every God Tier and Tier 1 pick on the solo queue tier list, counted the lanes each one actually loses, and took the three per role with the shortest list.

Every lane now has a job that only that lane can finish, and finishing it changes what your champion is capable of. Role Quests replaced Feats of Strength this season, and they're the reason your bot laner has a seventh item slot and your mid laner has boots nobody else can buy.
