ague of Legends Champion Guide: Leona (The Radiant Dawn)

Riot Games recently released Valorant- a tactical FPS that rivals Overwatch in gameplay. No matter how well Valorant does, Riot will always be known as the developer who brought League of Legends to life in 2009, and the popular MOBA game beginner guide has since become one of the most played games in the wo

League now has more than 150 champions, all of whom come with their own skins. Every champion receives at least one Epic skin, but some champions are given one or two Legendary skins, and a very select few receive an Ultimate skin which is valued at over $30. As of now, there are only five Ultimate skins in the game, and they are defined by their advanced visual and sound effects, and of the more than 140 champions that remain, there are several who definitely deserve their own pricey s

If anyone in North America has the experience to help their team gel together, Stixxay is definitely one of them. «I’ve been on the top, I’ve been on the bottom, I’ve been in the middle. The main thing I’ve learned in my journey, I guess, is just to not doubt myself and not to lose confidence in myself,» Stixxay said when asked what he’s learned from his experie

What makes her more ban-worthy is just the mass of ability power damage she can do, exploding with her abilities any time she gets close to you. It isn’t as complicated to deal with as Ekko, but raw damage is something to be fea

Riven fans love this Champion for her mobility and capability to punish entire teams during late-game. Unfortunately, despite her easy-to-use (almost predictable) nature, she can become difficult to master. Her Passive — Runic Blade gives her charges whenever she uses an ability, all of which enhances her autoatta

Leona’s abilities are geared towards getting in the middle of the fight and using crowd control abilities to allow her teammates to land their damage. Here is a basic overview of her abilities and when she might benefit from using t

When you begin the game, the Relic Shield and Health Potion will suffice for the first couple minutes of the laning phase, but for your early game items you want to get Boots of Speed and a Kindlegem. For your upgraded set of boots, it is common to go with Boots of Mobility if you want to be aggressive in lane and get early kills, but Leona may benefit more from the resistances given by Mercury Treads. During the early game it would also be wise to invest in either a Chain Vest or Stopwatch as both will help Leona tank up and build into a Gargoyle Stoneplate. Stopwatch’s unique active, Stasis, can be used when in the middle of a fight to dodge incoming attacks by making her unable to attack or be attacked for 2.5 seconds, but it can only be used o

A classic alternative to your standard ability-power focused champion in the mid lane, Zed has consistently been a thorn in everyone’s side since his release all the way back in 2012. With better team fight capabilities than an Akali and superior scaling to even some AP champs, Zed has an impressive ban rate of about ~

Having gotten a rework in April/May of 2020, Volibear saw renewed fan fervor and even competitive play in the LCS , LCK , and LEC respectively. Though he no longer has his signature flip, his ultimate is now an AOE slam that does some serious dam

For noobs and pros alike, there are just some champions that will forever get banned in competitive play (and even in normals). Here’s 15 League of Legends champions that, according to statistics site op.gg, are the hottest on the ban list this y

Spirit Blossom 2020 centers around the Ionian Spirit Blossom skins which are canon in League of Legends’ lore. After a brief tease during this year’s Anime Expo Lite stream, the skins were slowly revealed and culminated with a teaser video last week previewing Spirit Blossom’s themes. While veteran players should be familiar with the reward structure, there are several different elements compared to past eve

While the complexity of Spirit Blossom 2020 may be initially confusing, Spirit Bonds are just slightly renamed missions with a similar progression system. And there seems to be more to this Ionian festival and summer event than described so far, as several Spirit Blossom skins are releasing at a later date along with Yone, the presumed masked man from the teas

In the returning Nexus Blitz game mode, there are bonus tasks for one specific Spirit Blossom champion during a random event that occurs every few minutes. Note that each one awards 3 favor upon completion for that champ

Yasuo easily becomes a fan-favorite for his mobility and capacity to dominate the late game. Unfortunately, he tends to be vulnerable against crowd control. However, mastering Yasuo enables him to solo lanes and farm easily. For instance, his Passive — Way of the Wanderer allows him to generate Flow as he travels, which he can expend to get a massive shield for a sec

Diana goes hand-in-hand with Ekko, being banned in between 10% and 28.65% of games depending on rank. While she lacks the unusual ultimate, she has a similar library of crowd control and has a similar amount of versatility as both a middle lane fighter and a speedy assassin in the jung
