Konami has multiple methods in place to ensure Yu-Gi-Oh! maintains a balanced competitive meta with the release of every few sets. This balancing takes place through a constantly updated Forbidden and Limited card list, which ensures no card can be abused in a format for more than a few months at a time. However, Yu-Gi-Oh!

If you aren’t working at Riot Games, the developer of the most popular online game in the world, there’s one position that gives you significant influence over the game’s community.

While some, like Leona and Nautilus, disrupt their opponents with crowd control, enchanters like Soraka provide teammates with massive heals and shields that allow them to continue fighting. Soraka’s resurgence in League stems from the sheer power of her healing at all stages of the game. While this ability takes away a significant portion of Soraka’s health in the laning phase, the massive low-cooldown heal it provides in the late game makes her a potent force that most enemies will attempt to target before anyone else.
