The pre-season has been updated to all servers worldwide in about 2 weeks. Currently, the League of Legends (LoL) community is constantly creating styles for building equipment. In it, a few generals suddenly rose up thanks to the breakthrough of League of Legends gamers. Now is the time to take a look at the names that are prominent in the 2023 Pre-Season compared to season 12.
1. Fiora
Fiora is the most favorite champion of the League of Legends community at the moment. The reason for the sudden rise of Female Swordsman lies in the equipment of the Serpent Ax. For Fiora, the Serpent Ax is almost indispensable to help her optimally deploy the split push strategy. Since this item is so strong in Pre-Season, Fiora will aim for this complete item first.
When completing the Serpent Ax early, players will farm minions to receive bonus stats from equipment. At the time of not being nerfed by Riot Games, Snake Ax gives players 89 attack power and 14% full lifesteal for 3300 gold. As a result, Fiora buffed significantly compared to season 12 and reached 55% win rate in the 2023 Pre-Season. After the League of Legends publisher reduced this item buff, the Swordswoman had only 53, 5% win rate but still attracts a large number of players around the world.
2. Hecarim
Previously, the majority of League of Legends players would use Hecarim in a full-fledged manual style. However, in the 2023 Pre-Season, Ghosts of War always aimed for an all-round offensive play. Specifically, Hecarim built a set of equipment including: Night Sword Draktharr + God Sword Muramana + Snake Ax. They will help players destroy and bring opponents with a small amount of health to the Ancient Stone Platform in just one note.
Not stopping there, players can also head to the Dance of Death and the Shojin Spear to complete the champion’s equipment. When the equipment is complete, the Phantom of War rushes into combat with a very short cooldown and deals large amounts of damage to take down the opponent.
After that, gamers will receive a stealth effect (Dark Sword Draktharr) combined with healing (Dance of Death) to continue participating in the fight. Currently, Hecarim is on the list of champions that attract the most players in the pre-season.
3. Mordekaiser
Mordekaiser is becoming a very notable name in both the Top and Jungle positions. In the Top lane, Mordekaiser has a 53.35% win rate and that number reaches 56.9% as a Jungler. Currently, League of Legends players are taking advantage of valuable time to take advantage of this champion’s power before Riot Games cares.
The reason why the Armor Devil is loved by gamers lies in the new set of equipment for this general. Mordekaiser will now focus on the Adaptive Shell + Rylai Crystal Staff + Cursed Helmet combo. They will help players get defensive stats to survive in combat. From there, Mordekaiser sweeps through the opponent’s squad to deal damage and continue to burn with the passive from the Cursed Helmet. Just a simple factor, but the Armored Devil achieves close to 57% win rate in the Jungle role – a very high number in the Arena of Justice.
4. Wukong
After a period of crisis, Wukong has officially returned to the position of Jungle. Over the course of many nerfed versions, this champion only owns about 49% of the win rate. However, by the 2023 Pre-Season, Wukong leveled up his strength and rose to a 53.84% win rate. Now, players can choose from a variety of styles to build equipment for the Monkey King in patch 12.22.
Wukong’s power up thanks to his better jungle clearing in the 2023 Pre-Season. In addition, players can aim for 2 very powerful equipment building styles such as: Godslayer Hammer + Snake Ax or Ax Serpent + Dance of Death + Adaptive Shell. After being upgraded in terms of jungling, Wukong is regaining the same position as it was in its golden age not long ago.
Above are the 4 most prominent names with the element of power promotion in the 2023 Pre-Season. In addition, a few other names also significantly upgraded their strength such as: Olaf (Top Lane), Kha’zix, Camille … Regrettably, the group of Gunner generals in the 2023 Pre-Season phase gradually lost their position in the Arena of Justice.
