A fresh start.]]>One of League of Legends’ most enticing features is its ranked queue, which allows players to test their skills against others. Each year, a new iteration of ranked is introduced to the game, requiring players to begin the grind once more while exploring its new features.
The case is no different this time around, with the 2025 season refreshing the ranked system once again. Riot Games has overhauled it a few times in recent years, yet it feels the 2025 changes make the most sense—let’s break them down.

The two modes are on their way back.]]>The 2025 season of League of Legends is finally here, and Riot Games is introducing many changes. A few are coming to URF and Arena when they return this year.
URF and Arena are some of League players’ most beloved game modes, so it’s only natural they’re making a comeback in 2025. During their tenure in the game, both have seen substantial changes throughout the seasons, and the case won’t be different in 2025. But before we dive into that, let’s take a look at the dates of their returns.

Gear up for a lot of League esports coming our way. ]]>Riot Games is expanding its League of Legends ecosystem in 2025 by adding a new tournament called The First Stand. The developer isn’t slowing down and has just revealed the details about the international events for the current and following two years.
League fans have long been eager for more international action. That’s why the news of a new international event was met with enthusiasm, and now, the developer is providing new information for the upcoming years.

Unsure how to build your Monk? We got you. ]]>When booting up Path of Exile 2 for the first time, players are offered the choice of six playable classes. One of the classes currently available is Monk, and if built properly, it’s extremely fun and satisfying to play.
In PoE 2, players have to pick between active and passive skills, Persistent Buff Skill Gems, Ascendancies, and items in order to create the best build. With so many options, finding the right build may be tricky. But, don’t worry, Monk players. Here is our favorite Monk build in PoE 2 so far.

Can you guess which one it is?]]>Riot Games practically adds new skins to League of Legends with every patch. The one champion who has amassed the most so far is rather underrated, though.
That is Miss Fortune, one of the original characters in League. The fact that she has as many as 21 skins was pointed out on Reddit on Jan. 6. The data on League’s wiki says the character has 22 skins. However, one of them, Prestige Bewitching Miss Fortune, is displayed twice (since her original version is not available anymore). So 21 is the correct count, and is still enough to put her atop the League skins list.

That's a big win.]]>Train will replace Vertigo at the BLAST.tv Austin CS2 Major. This news sparked a massive reaction from the community on Jan. 6, with fans happy to finally see this change. But the map is coming to competitive sooner than expected.
If you want to see tier-one teams back in action on Train, mark Jan. 14 in your calendars. That’s when BLAST Bounty will begin, and according to a report from HLTV, it will include Train instead of Vertigo in its map pool.

So, you want to be a VALORANT skin collector? Here's how much you have to shell out for every weapon skin in the game. ]]>If you’re wondering exactly how much real money one would need to purchase every VALORANT weapon skin—from the most basic to the most exclusive—we’ve got the answer you’re looking for.
While weapon skins offer no competitive advantage, they significantly boost our visual and gameplay experience in VALORANT. Not to forget, if you own a newly released skin or a rare one like the Champions 2021 Vandal, you’ll almost always have teammates buzzing around you for a chance to use it. That said, most VALORANT skins don’t come cheap. So, if anyone’s looking to collect every one of them released so far, they’d definitely be drilling a hole in their pocket.

In a massively competitive year, the top 10 players were tougher than ever to pick.]]>The last competitive season in League of Legends was arguably the fiercest and most exciting we could follow. With the addition of Esports World Cup to the international circuit, best players and teams from all around the world got the chance to prove themselves.
Like always with League, picking the best players throughout the years is tough. Teams are slightly easier though. You can just take a glimpse at their achievements, compare them to the expectations, and you have a pretty good idea of who was the greatest squad in 2024. It’s often the winner of Worlds, usually.

This year was full of excellent skins, but we picked 14 of the best. ]]>The end of the year always invites us to take a moment and look back at the last 12 months. This can be done by everyone—even League of Legends players. There’s a lot to remember about the MOBA in 2024, including ranked climbs, new champions, and cool-looking skins.
We’ve analyzed each new champion already, and we’ll leave you to your own ranked reflections. Instead, let’s take a look at something we should mostly agree upon: this year’s best skins. The developer added dozens of them throughout the last 12 months, so picking the ones that made the biggest impressions on us was far from easy. We gave it our best, though, and picked 14 of them, since the 2024 season was officially League’s 14th season.

Here are the best 10 titles from this year to enjoy on your Steam Deck. ]]>The year is coming to a close, and once again we can look back on the past 12 months and appreciate numerous great games we had the chance to enjoy. Many of them were also available on Steam Deck, making the lives of its players immeasurably better.
In fact, nowadays, a lot of games that go live on Steam are usually available on the platform’s portable console. There’s a plethora of titles to enjoy on it, though not all of them perform as well as they do on PCs. With that in mind, we decided to give 2024 one more look and picked the 10 best games from that year to boot up on your Steam Deck.
