<br>Updated on July 10, 2023, by Stephen LaGioia: As both segments of gaming have rapidly risen in popularity lately, it's no surprise that various free-to-play Battle Royale titles have hit the gaming scene. Still, there are plenty of free gaming experiences that don't demand one-and-done showdowns against a massive pool of online combatants. With many notable ones released recently (and at least one changing its payment model), it seemed time to revisit this list highlighting more of the best free non-BR games.

When playing Nexus Blitz, it's easy to forget that the main objective is still to destroy the enemy Nexus. Therefore, the Poro King reward is a really good reward to receive.

Two basic but important combos with Leona are her basic attack reset and her full combo with all her abilities. Since Leona's Shield of Daybreak is a basic attack reset, you can follow up a basic attack with it and then also follow up the shield attack with another basic attack. First, right click an enemy and then use Shield of Daybreak to immediately hit them again. After the Shield hit, use your basic attack again which will result in 3 quick hits. Use this combo after Zenith Blading to an enemy or when destroying wards in the brush.

Leona's Zenith Blade is her third active ability and it allows Leona to project a solar image of her sword in a straight line with a limited range. If an enemy is hit by the sword's projection, magic damage is dealt to them and Leona dashes to the enemy hit last. When Leona dashes to an enemy hit by Zenith Blade, they are rooted for 0.5 seconds. In the early game, this ability is best used to punish enemy Champions that are alone in lane or may be coming a little too close to the minion wave, but later on in the game it will be your tool of choice for initiating fights and landing Shield of Daybreak.
