One off-meta LoL champ pick is dominating Bronze in Patch 13.6

Lower ranks in League of Legends are known for sometimes having unusual champions dominate certain roles. And in Patch 13.6, mid lane has been dominated by an uncommon champ for the role.

As of now, Mordekaiser has the highest win rate in the mid lane in Bronze ranks with 54.20 percent, according to a League stat site U.GG. The Iron Revenant outpaces three powerful mages in Patch 13.6—Aurelion Sol, Malzahar, and Veigar—who have all found themselves in the top five in terms of win rate.

Still, seeing Mordekaiser dominating the scoreboard is quite surprising, to say the least. The champion is traditionally a top laner, with his kit allowing for a tanky yet resourceful build. Mordekaiser’s main strength lies in his ultimate, with which he can single out a certain enemy and eliminate them in a solo duel in the Death Realm.

Mid laners are usually required to bring more to the table besides single-elimination damage. But, on the other hand, it’s the Bronze ranking, and we guess that having a sturdy mid laner who can take out the enemy carry is helpful in these ranks.

The strategy doesn’t seem to be as popular among skilled players, though. In Platinum+ ranks, Mordekaiser has a 52.57 percent win rate in the mid lane, however, has a poor 0.3 percent pick rate, according to U.GG. Still, these players like to pocket-pick champions like Singed and Malphite in the mid lane position.

The role has been a major ground for experiments across all League’s ranks. Unusual champions often appear in the mid lane and are able to boast quite impressive win rates. And with the position being so flexible, this usually changes from update to update. And the upcoming Patch 13.7 is arriving this Wednesday, April 5, so be ready for more changes.

ARAM mode in League of Legends recently saw the removal of falling tower debris, and it stirred a discussion to bring back another feature to the Howling Abyss.

A player named Koioua proposed on League’s subreddit on April 4 to bring back bans in ARAM. They explained that while it is expected to be a fun mode, some champions are just too overpowered for it, and are ruining the game for everyone else when picked. Therefore, bringing back bans just to target them would improve the quality of gameplay.

“ARAM is supposed to be random fun, but there are certain champions due to the whole ‘ARAM balancing’ that feel absolutely awful to play against,” Koioua wrote.

Banning in the mode was introduced in a short event called Butcher’s Bridge, which was run on Patch 9.7 in April 2019. Besides that, bans were never a regular thing in the mode, though some players think it could be a feature that would vastly improve ARAMs.

Others proposed a few other solutions in the comments that would fit more into the mode style. “I’ll take random bans to fit with the nature of ARAM,” says the top comment.

“Just ban before queueing, without the others person knowing it,” another player added. “With this system, it doesn’t take longer in draft and it doesn’t bring more dodges because people are unaware.”

Genshin Impact: Best Nahida Build Guide

The best build for Nahida in Genshin Impact is quite complicated as players need to balance her stat out. So far, Archons in Genshin Impact have not been disappointing. Venti is still a top-tier crowd controller, Zhongli is the best shielder in Genshin Impact , and Raiden Shogun is a tremendously powerful Sub-DPS and battery. Sadly, while many expect Nahida to take a whole new role, she, like Raiden, is also a Sub-DPS. For the Dendro Archon to become a powerful Sub-DPS, players must be familiar with Nahida’s best build in Genshin Impact . The best build for Nahida in Genshin Impact highly relies on her team composition and how good players’ artifacts are. To put it simply, Nahida has an obvious diminishing return, so Travelers must consider all sorts of stat buffs from Nahida’s team before determining her best build . This is because Nahida’s fourth-ascension passive (A4) allows her to buff her Skill DMG based on her Elemental Mastery (EM), but this is only effective until 1000

Pokémon Dev Job Listing References R&D For Next-Generation Hardware

It seems the Pokémon developer Creatures could already looking toward the future of the long-running series. A new job listing at the Japanese company for a 3DCG modeler references "research and development for other next-generation hardware". The same application also mentions the use of Unity and Unreal Engine for project development. Creatures Inc. is one of the major Pokémon developers alongside Game Freak and Nintendo. It previously helped out with Pokémon Sword and Shield and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! on 3DCG modelling. It also worked on Detective Pikachu and is currently developing a sequel. In September, a senior programmer job profile at Creatures referenced work on "one unannounced project" and Detective Pikachu 2 which is apparently "nearing release".

Warzone 2.0 Is Ditching 2v2 Gulags For Boring 1v1 Showdowns

First came the much-requested changes to loadout drops , now Warzone 2.0 is messing with the gulag. With season two’s arrival on February 15, the gulag will no longer make players team up in pairs of two after suffering defeat on the battle royale map. Instead, as in the original Warzone , it will now focus on 1v1 skirmishes. Unlike in other battle royales, Call of Duty ’s Warzone allows players a chance to jump back into the action after dying. If you’re killed by another player early enough in the game, you’ll get sent to the gulag (there had to have been a better name for that). Here, you’ll square off in a quick deathmatch mode to earn your place back on the main map. Warzone 2.0 ’s gulag has two teams of two face off, with both members of the winning team rejoining the game. Around halfway through the gulag match, a high-damage-output, bullet-spongey NPC called “the Jailer” will emerge. If the Jailer is defeated, both teams redeploy. If time runs out or the Jailer

Gran Turismo 7’s Next Update is Coming This Week, With Four New Cars

Gran Turismo series founder Kazunori Yamauchi has taken to Twitter to announce and tease the next update to Gran Turismo 7 , which will arrive on consoles this coming week. It’s coming a little sooner than anticipated, landing around three weeks after the previous content update on September 29. That’s the shortest interval between content updates yet, with most coming four or five weeks apart — and, with the exception of 1.15 and 1.17, on the last Thursday of each month. Another unusual facet is that the update, which we’re temporarily dubbing 1.25, will bring four new cars instead of the three we’ve seen teased for every update thus far: This set of cars looks relatively easy to identify, although with some qualifiers. Probably the most straightforward is the one in the bottom-left, which looks to be a 1973 Nissan Skyline GT-R. Often dubbed “Kenmeri”, due to a promotional campaign featuring a couple named Ken and Mary, Nissan only produced 197 examples of this car — the last Nissa
