FOTM Report: Bruisers in the Bot Lane? - Pick Illaoi
We're living in a brave new world lately. The meta's turning itself on its head as Riot looks for different avenues to bring players back to the game and away from FPS titans like Fortnite. Well, this time they might have done it after tweaking both crit marksmen and shield supports to the point that bruisers are taking over bot lane.2018 Best Champions Tier List - Solo Queue Ranked Ladder Climbing - Patch 8.12 Update
Times are changing as bruisers take over bot lane and hard stuck D5 Janna mains are left wondering if they can still get there next season...good thing I'm a Morgana main! Meanwhile, some marksmen are still doing perfectly fine, and if you haven't tried out full lethality Dark Harvest Miss Fortune yet, you're definitely missing out!FOTM Ranked Solo Queue Tier List (High Elo) ~ Patch 8.12 - June
Riot's definitely not making my job easy with all these meta shifts! The latest one to hit the Rift entails bruisers bot lane with high prevelance. I personally think (and hope) this is just a fad that will blow over soon, but you can't overlook how viable champions like Yasuo and Irelia are when they're paired with a support.Meanwhile, with champions like Graves and Taliyah in the jungle, your team still has a good balance of ranged to poke and siege towers.

Optimal Best Champions Bans At Each Division - Patch 8.12 June List
Hi everyone and welcome to the Patch 8.12 ban list! This time around we're seeing a ton of bans coming out on Irelia and Yasuo, but for the most part higher divisions seem to be able to deal with them fairly easily despite always banning them out anyway. After nerfs to supports items none of them are ban-worthy anymore, and it definitely looks like the age of the bruisers.Jun 12, 2018
Official Patch 8.12 Notes Released!
Introduction
Shortly after the change to marksmen, it looks like Riot has their sights on shield supports with nerfs all around to shields with decay time added in. Meanwhile, the classic Forbidden Idol tree was simultaneously nerfed, resulting in an indirect nerf to all heal supports as well. Check out the full scope of changes below!Jun 4, 2018
2018 Best Champions Tier List - Solo Queue Ranked Ladder Climbing - Patch 8.11 Update
All hail the queen of ice birds in all her glory! This patch features a ton of movement to the jungle meta with nerfs on the top two junglers and buffs on a variety of high-damage favorites. Meanwhile, jungle Taliyah it the latest fad to grace the rift, and if you were just thinking how nice it is to not have Lucian players dominating the game at every turn....sorry!Check out the full list below!
Weird Picks #99: Taliyah Jungle
When I first saw Taliyah jungle I thought to myself oh goodness gracious we're in for a treat....turns out it's pretty good! The latest changes to her kit this patch allow her to be a decent jungler. While it does have its weaknesses, Taliyah can largely make up for them through her powerful ganks and constant pressure on the map.Check out how it works below!

With the release of the assassin Pyke and a slew of marksman changes, players are quickly seeing rapid changes in the metagame. Lucian is back to relevance for the first time in a long time, and he's packing one of the old overpowered builds that allow him to simultaneously dish tons of damage and be nearly invulnerable at the same time.Does this sound like fun? Sure sounds like it to me!
