League of Legends: Best Supports for Ashe in Season 14

Jul 2, 2024 | highgroundgaming.com | A.M. Reid |April M. Reid

Riot Games Ashe may be one of the oldest champions in the game, but that doesn’t mean she can’t pack a punch! She’s blessed with long-ranged poke, hard-hitting auto attacks, and plenty of gamechanging utility. That said, she does have a few weaknesses that can leave her vulnerable to the enemy’s attacks. As a support main, it’s vital you pick a champion that synergizes well with Ashe and can cover for her weaknesses.

Jul 2, 2024 | highgroundgaming.com | A.M. Reid |April M. Reid

Riot Games Climbing the ranked ladder as an ADC is by no means an easy feat. You need stellar mechanics, impeccable positioning in teamfights, and skill shot-dodging reflexes. And you need to juggle all that while practically every opponent on the enemy team is looking to decimate you in seconds. The journey is tough, but there are a few things you can do to make your path a little easier, and that includes picking up an ADC champion who’s strong in the current meta.
Best Skarner Skins in LoL (2024)

Jun 4, 2024 | highgroundgaming.com | A.M. Reid |April M. Reid

After years, and I mean years, of players begging Riot to show Skarner some love and give his dust-covered kit a sparkly new glow up, it finally happened. The new Skarner update went live back in patch 14.7.And so far? I’m absolutely loving the new Skarner! While Riot is still tweaking his kit, his playstyle is a lot more fun and versatile. It finally feels like he can have an impactful role in games. Plus, there’s more room for skill expression.
Best Lee Sin Skins in LoL, Ranked (Season 14)

Jun 4, 2024 | highgroundgaming.com | A.M. Reid |April M. Reid

Image: Riot Games via HGG After a long, seriously anticipated wait, Lee Sin has finally received his ASU! While I’m always fearful about what Riot will present us with, in this case, I am pleased to say that Riot has blown us away. Lee Sin’s ASU is everything you could possibly dream of, and the new, super slick attack animations are sure to help you land that Insec Kick every time (well, probably).
The Best Nunu Skins in League of Legends S14 (Ranked)

Apr 23, 2024 | highgroundgaming.com | A.M. Reid |April M. Reid

Image: Riot Games via HGG Aaah… Long gone are the days of disco Nunu rollin’ it down mid and going 0/30. Well, for the most part. I’m sure you’ll still come across the odd player here and there who honors Nunu’s iconic former self. Jokes aside, Nunu’s rework was one of the best things to ever happen in the LoL universe.
Best Scaling Champions in League of Legends (Season 14)

Apr 23, 2024 | highgroundgaming.com | A.M. Reid |April M. Reid

Riot Games / A.M. Reid While some players prefer to bully their opponent in lane and snowball their way to victory before the clock hits 20 minutes, other players prefer to bide their time… And transform themselves into an indestructible, 1v5in’ god.
LoL: Best Skins for Taliyah in Season 14

Mar 26, 2024 | highgroundgaming.com | A.M. Reid |April M. Reid

Image: Riot Games via HGG Taliyah is an extremely mobile mid laner who quite literally shakes up the Rift with her slick outplays, strategically-placed AoE, and killer damage output. But today I’m not here to discuss why Taliyah is one of the most fun mages in LoL, nor am I going to argue why she would totally be a kickass Earthbender.
Best Skins for Zac in League of Legends

Mar 12, 2024 | highgroundgaming.com | A.M. Reid |Adam Watkins |April M. Reid

Zac is one of the most reliable ganking junglers in League of Legends. However, while he’ll certainly make your ranked climb easy, his appearance isn’t exactly easy on the eye. After all, he’s pretty much just a blob of green gloop. And yes, he does look like he escaped from the Ghostbusters universe. But luckily for Zac mains, Riot has given him some pretty swanky skins over the years. Today, I’ll be ranking all of Zac’s skins from worst to best, giving you an idea of which ones are worth your buck.
