Talents

**Talents** (previously known as Legendary Cards) are special kinds of cards that all Champions selects at the start of the match and bring powerful benefits to each champion.

* Players select one of their Talents along with their loadout at the start of the match to further customize their play experience.
* Talents have different effect to the abilities that can evolve the playstyle.
* Just like loadouts, once selected the Talent is locked in for the duration of the match.
* Talents do not have any ranks.
* An icon in the scoreboard indicates the selected talent.

Champions each have 3 talents to choose from. This offer players the ability to empower a Champions' attributes and enhance or modify their abilities, tailoring them to a particular playstyle. All talents are available to all champions to use for free. But some talents must be unlocked by leveling the Champion Masteries up. Each champion in the game has their own unique talents that cannot be used by any other champion.
