What to know about the LoL gameplay in Esports?

One of the primary reasons behind League of Legends’ enduring popularity from a viewer and betting perspective is its fusion of gaming genres.

Players – and LoL bettors – need to think fast to gain an edge.

Tips and strategies for LoL betting

Remember that every player-controlled character will be one of 140 available ‘champions’ in the League of Legends roster. Each champion has their own unique characteristics. It’s a good idea to familiarise the main six characteristics to understand their likely effectiveness mid-game:

• Fighter – a champion with quick damage-dealing capabilities and solid survivability ratings.
• Mage – a champion with unique magic abilities, more suited to attacking flair than defensive areas.
• Assassin – a champion with a laser-like focus on rapid kills, ideal for flanking enemies.
• Marksman – a champion with the ability to eat away at the opposition’s health as opposed to dishing out fatal blows.
• Tank – a champion with unrivalled stamina and durability, capable of withstanding the most damage.
• Support – a champion that’s incredibly versatile and a handy partner to more dangerous characters.
