As the new season rolls out, some champions are clearly stronger than others with the new runes. Certain champions, such as Nunu, are just absolutely trash and completely nonviable at the moment. Here are the seven strongest champions that should make climbing the ranked ladder easier and synergize extremely well with the new runes!

1. Ezreal

Ezreal in his current form is so strong that even support Ezreal is starting to look good. Players in various ranks are finding great success with him in the precision tree, which synergizes well with his kit. Higher division players, however, are faring even better with the Kleptomancy rune. Either way, he's pretty overpowered right now.

2. Gangplank

Similar to Ezreal, Gangplank is thriving in this new patch, and with the Kleptomancy rune, he gains gold so fast it's nearly impossible to keep up. He can waveclear super fast if he chooses to take Minion Dematerializer, but most players are choosing to take Future's Market as he didn't have much trouble waveclearing, to begin with.

3. Katarina

The new Domination tree allows Katarina to snowball super hard. When you combine her newly found spell camp with the damage runes, Katarina quickly starts to snowball through her AOE damage resets and burst/pick potential.

4. Lulu

Lulu synergizes extremely well with the new Sorcery tree, which results in incredibly low cooldowns on her game-changing spells.

5. Malzahar

Malzahar is nearly impossible to push out of lane with the Manaflow Band rune. When you add Arcane Comet and its synergy with his ultimate, Nether Grasp, it's almost impossible to survive laning against him post-6.

6. Sona

Sona's one of the most annoying champions when you combine her with the Kleptomancy rune. Although some choose to run a similar rune page as Lulu, the gold that she amounts with Kleptomancy allows her to advance through the game very well.

7. Zed

Similar to Katarina, Zed has incredible burst damage which makes him incredibly unpleasant to play against him once he snowballs. Due to this, he has one of the highest ban rates at the moment.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
