A New Post Series Approaches!

I will be posting a series of Champion Dissections here on the League blog. They will go over how a champion works, breakdown their abilities and show how they work, feel, and fit the character thematically, and then conclude with a summation of ideal stats and tips on how to play the champion. These will actually be fairly shallow posts in terms of 'how do I play this champion', as these are intended as a look into the design of a champion.


I WILL be posting much more in depth guides on how to play champions effectively, it just won't be the Champion Dissection series! So don't lose hope.


Every Champion Dissection will look roughly like this:

Champion Dissection

Passive:

• Mechanics: I will explain how the passive functions mechanically, so for instance, Amumu's passive lowers MR per auto attack.

• Gameplay: Here I will explain what the ability brings in terms of gameplay. Following the above example, Amumu's passive adds incentive for Amumu to auto attack critical targets, so his abilities and friendly magic damage abilities deal increased damage. This means the player has to make a decision on who needs to die first.

• Theme: Here I will go over how the ability fits and shapes the champions theme. For Amumu, the passive is not doing a huge amount of thematic lifting, but it fits his theme of being a sad cursed mummy passing his curse on to his enemies.

Every other ability will be detailed as well.
Q Ability:



W Ability:

E Ability:



Ultimate:

After I go over each ability, I will have some tips on optimal stats and other tips on how to get the most of the champion.
