League of Legends v1.0.0.109

Renekton, the Butcher of the Sands

Renekton uses a new resource system called Fury. Renekton gains Fury by attacking or dealing damage with spells. When he has gathered enough Fury, the resource will be expended to empower his skills with bonus effects.
Cull the Meek: Renekton swing his blade, dealing damage to nearby enemies and healing for a portion of the life dealt. Fury Bonus: Heal amount raised dramatically.
Ruthless Predator: Renekton's next attack swings twice, dealing a portion of his weapon damage, stunning his target briefly and applying on-hits each time. Fury Bonus: Renekton's next attack swings three times, dealing a huge portion of his weapon damage, stunning his target greatly and applying on-hits each time.
Slice and Dice: Renekton dashes forward, dealing physical damage to targets along the way. If he hits a target, he can use Dice for a brief period of time for the same effect. Dice Fury Bonus: Renekton deals 50% increased damage and reduces the armor of units hit.
Dominus (Ultimate): Renekton empowers himself with dark energy, gaining size and bonus health. He deals periodic damage to enemies around him and rapidly gains Fury.
Reign of Anger (Passive): Renekton gains 5 Fury per autoattack. Having sufficient fury empowers Renekton’s abilities with bonus effects, but this drains Fury. Out of combat, Renekton loses 5 Fury per second.

League of Legends wins PC Gamer’s free-to-play Game of the Year!

Summoners!

In 2010, League of Legends closed out the year with a great deal of fanfare, being honored time and time again by all manner of websites, publications, and conferences. For this reason, we think it’s only fitting that we kick off 2011 with a bang! We are pleased to announce that PC Gamer has named League of Legends their Free-to-Play Game of the Year!

Last year, Riot Games received over 20 accolades from a number different sources. But the greatest honor of all is the devotion of fans and players like you, whose continued support makes every day at Riot Games a rewarding and enriching experience, and allows us to continue to produce top notch content now and into the future. While we’re extremely excited to have received yet another award, rest assured that the best is still yet to come here in 2011!

CHAMPION SNEAK PEEK - Renekton, the Butcher of the Sands

TH3WICK3D1 — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 11:07:31 GMT

Renekton, Butcher of the Sands

Lately, we’ve seen quite a few sibling duos enter the League of Legends. While Garen and Lux may have been the first to make membership in the League a familial affair, since then Cassiopeia and Katarina have been making a point of highlighting the importance of good genes. Of course, not all families get along, and if we’re going to broach the subject of sibling rivalry there’s probably no better place to start than with Nausus’ brother Renekton, the Butcher of the Sands. We’re personally not sure that we’ve ever seen a fraternal relationship with more animosity (no pun intended).

CHAMPION SNEAK PEEK - Caitlyn, the Sheriff of Piltover

TH3WICK3D1 — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 07:46:34 GMT

Caitlyn, the Sheriff of Piltover

Officials from Piltover would like me to issue a statement to all of you. It is my duty to inform you that there is a new sheriff in town. The beautiful (and stylish) Caitlyn, the Sheriff of Piltover, has arrived at the League of Legends, so bandits, ruffians, rabble-rousers, and otherwise uncouth persons beware! Of course, even if you’re on the run, one look at her and you might not want to escape anymore. Of course, you don’t need to have a warrant out for your arrest to get a closer look at this pretty lady. Whether you’re an outlaw type or someone who plays by the rules, I’ve got the publicity shots for you right here!
