League of Legends
Season 11 Begins
Season 11 of
League of Legends kicked off just a few days ago and it’s already ramping up to
be an exciting one. A new powerful hero with three more guaranteed in the works
for this coming season is just the start. Season 11 also has delivered a
whopping 22 new mythic items for players to dominate with. This is shaping up
to be a game-defining year for League of Legends and we know you are excited to
be along for the ride. The excitement for this season has carried on into the
online gaming accounts market, as players are looking to buy and sell League of Legends accounts to get in on the action.
To start us
off let’s talk about the big news that everyone loves to hear, new champions.
We have 4 promised champions coming in for the 2021 season with the first,
Viego, already available for play. The other three will be in development and
announced over the course of the year. What we do know is that they include an
AP fighter, an artillery mage, and a marksman, but little more than that. When you decide to sell your LoL account, be sure to list if you have any of
these new champions as those accounts will fetch a premium price.
But let’s
get back to talking about the new champion that we know about, Viego. Viego is
a skirmisher and a jungler, meant to blend and ambush with devastating force.
This champion has an ability set designed so that you never see him coming and
by the time you realize he is there it is far too late. Viego contains an
impressive ability set that will make him a stand out champion in the coming
season, there is no doubt about that.
Viego is
heavily constructed around his passive ability. Whenever an enemy dies within 3
seconds of being struck by Viego, they generate a wraith. Viego can absorb the
wraith to heal himself and to “possess” the enemy champion. Viego takes on the
appearance and abilities of the champion who died and his ult becomes fully
charged. The only slight drawback is that Viego players can’t use consumables
while in this form, but the benefits seriously outweigh the downsides.
Viego’s
other abilities, both passive and active, are built around either speeding him
up or slowing down his targets, making him a very good ambush champion. His
Harrowed Path ability can be used to even obfuscate his exact location. While
the mist might be a bit of a giveaway, not knowing exactly where Viego is can
be devastating, his Blade and Maw abilities able to bring a lot of unexpected
hurt very quickly.
Lastly, but
far from leastly, is Viego’s ultimate. Now this ultimate is specifically made
to be used in conjunction with this champion’s possession ability since it can
fully power it. The ultimate, Heartbreaker, launches Viego forward and blasts
all the enemies in an AoE effect except for 1. This launching effect will also
deactivate the possession ability and return Viego to his true form. The one
enemy who is targeted, which is automatically the one with the lowest health,
takes a devastating amount of damage and is slowed by 99%. This is obviously
meant to be used as a killing blow, allowing you to chain into another
possession and instantly recharge your ultimate. That some serious momentum and
we are looking forward to seeing some pros put Viego to good use.
Viego isn’t
the only game-changer coming in at the start of the 2021 season. There are a
huge amount of new and revamped items that will be entering play at the start
of season 11 and any LoL player worth their salt knows that these are going to
be the serious game-changers that will decide the currents of this season early
on.
The 22 brand
new mythic items are going to seriously define this season. For those that
might be a little out of the loop, a mythic item is a special item that can
only be assigned one to a player, meaning if you buy one then you can’t buy any
others. Mythic items provide some serious buffs, but the real important aspect
of them is that they influence the mechanics of the other legendary items you
buy, so these are the items that tend to shape your entire build. And more than
twenty brand new ones became available for use at the start of this season.
We want to
take a bit more of a strategic look at these mythic items but we have a
disclaimer. Even if stuff has been play-tested in the offseason, that doesn’t
mean they won’t be patched. So everything from an item’s abilities to
appearance could be different just a little after the start of the season. Just
something to keep in mind if you see something that fits really well with your
playstyle, these items aren’t set in stone just yet and will likely be patched.
To start us
off, an overwhelming majority of the new mythic items are physical build
boosters, so you have a significant gain there for players that like to favor
physical characters. In those, you have some really interesting, and powerful,
items. You have some flat useful buffs like the Divine Sunders Guide, which
grants all of your legendary items magical and physical damage penetration, not
to mention giving you a damage buff based on your opponents’ health. You also
have interesting items like Stridebreaker, which not only grants a bonus to
movement speed per legendary item but also gives a flat movement speed bonus
each time you deal damage.
Tanks also
have some fun item additions to their mythic line-up. Sunfire Aegis was on we
wanted to highlight. This item has some really great stacking and burst
immolation effects that can help you tank more effectively and deal a little
hurt on the side. Not to mention it has a nice extra bonus of granting a lot of
ability haste. Combine that with the new support mythic Imperial Mandate and
you got a healer tank combo that is hurting way more than your enemies are
going to expect.
And that is
just a small sample of the new mythic items you have to play with. We are
excited to see how they grow, change, and stack with the different champion
builds. We are looking forward to seeing what the players are going to be able
to do this season. We bet it will be impressive.
