The week was full of significant matchups and exciting plays. While there’s still a lot to discover about Europe’s professional League of Legends teams, fans did learn a lot from the matches this past week. Here are five takeaways from Week 3 of the

In his next appearance, «Warden’s Prey,» players learn that a far worse fate would come to the Aristocrat in the form Thresh, the chain warden. In Warden’s Prey, fans see the Hapless Aristocrat hiding in a graveyard from Thresh, the tormentor of souls. It’s unclear whether or not the Aristocrat would manage to avoid Thresh’s chains and escape the Shadow Isles. Maybe playerscan expect a follow up to the Aristocrat’s story in later expansions, and hopefully, he could catch a much-needed br

In the past, Ana has had problems trying to find himself. He’s gone through thick and thin to find the passion of playing Dota 2 after winning the International 2018 and has pushed himself over his mental limits. It was because of his strive to be the player OG needed that he shined at the next big tournament, which was the International 2019. Although JerAx never expressed the same issues during both Internationals, his interview with OG has filled out the blanks of his retirem

Stixxay is aware of the negative sentiment surrounding his team, even if he’s not in agreement with it. «I just don’t think it’s true,» Stixxay said of the public’s view. «I don’t think we’re a 10th place team, so last split was really disappointing for us. It just put a sour taste in everyone’s mouth… I think we had a really bad split and we worked a lot in the offseason to fix a lot of those thin

OG ‘s Dota 2 team is undeniably one of the best eSports teams in the world. They have a long list of achievements, which includes being the only team to win the International two times and in a back-to-back fashion. The team has also won several Majors along the way and other Minor tourname

Misfts ended the Spring Split with a sixth place finish in playoffs, losing to Rouge. Many believed that the team would take a step up with the addition of former Team SoloMid bot laner Kasper «Kobbe» Kobberup. Mid laner Fabian ‘FEBIVEN» Diepstraten combined with Kobbe in theory should propel the team to compete with the likes of Origen, Mad Lions and Ro

With about 150 different champions and balance changes every week, the competitive metagame of League of Legends can be difficult to navigate. Everything from the simplicity of a character to deep strategies can alter who you might want to play, or who you’ll expect to play agai

They wanted to take everything, and they ended up getting nothing, as the remaining Excel members jumped onto the three Misfits players in the mid lane and forced everyone else away from their objectives. Misfits has the potential to be a top tier team, but they’re just not at that level

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

As a result, bulkier items like the Sunfire Cape and Adaptive Helm are things of the past. Getting some health and defensive stats through an offensive item, however, will make you just as indestructible as some tanks, making Fiora nearly as sustainable as health-based champions like Zac. For those that like tanks, though, it can be undoubtedly disappoint

OG has made numerous headlines recently with their roster changes, so much that it makes fans fear for the future of its adored Dota 2 team. With Anathan «Ana» Pham taking an extended break and Jesse «JerAx» Vainikka retiring from the professional scene, it makes people wonder what’s going to happen to OG. But with OG Seed and OG CS: GO being newly introduced, this could mean a new chapter for the esteemed organizat

Similar to Monster Hunter: World, Dauntless is a co-op game that groups together four players against a giant beast.

Turns out lady Elise had other plans for our poor Hapless Aristocrat. The next part of the story takes place within Elise’s Champion art , where she leads him to a dark cave and reveals her true form to him, that of a giant spider.

Similar to Smash Bros, Brawlhalla is a free-fighting platformer game where players score by knocking their opponents out of bounds.

Yone’s most complex ability, though it is still relatively simple in practice. Yone splits his body into two, and players then control Yone’s Spirit Form. Players deal and receive damage normally, and any damage done while in Spirit Form will mark enemies. Once the ability ends, the player instantly blinks back to Yone’s body, and marked enemies will be dealt a portion of the damage they received from Yone’s Spirit Form. This ability allows players to stick to an enemy and finish off kills with little risk to them. While there is still the risk of dying while in Spirit Form, a player can push deep into enemy lines to secure a kill and still guarantee an escape back to where they began — just make sure Yone’s body is tucked away in a safe spot! This ability also looks fantastic with Yone’s Spirit Blossom skin , which he will receive on rele

Ultimately, there are still fingers being crossed for the return of the official team this season, but if the world has to deal with a few fill-in players and a whole new OG, then so be it. No matter what choices each player makes, the certainty of support will always be present wherever any one of them goes. But seriously, cross your fing

That said, a Pokémon MOBA Game champions isn’t inherently a bad idea for a game, as League of Legends has proved throughout the decade how polished and robust this genre can be. It’s likely these games are going to be fairly similar, and while there are traits Pokémon Unite can learn from League of Legends , some qualities it could do with

While slowing down releases of new champions, League of Legends has spent a ton of time reworking older characters to fit into the game better. Classic characters like Fiddlesticks and Volibear have had huge recent overhauls on their attacks and animations, and while they might play better now, it can be jarring for returning play

_League of Legends _ is receiving its second moody samurai with the release of the game’s newest champion, Yone (yo-nay). Brother to Yasuo, the premier swordsman of Summoner’s Rift, Yone brings an alternative, though not dissimilar playstyle to players looking to spend their time mastering the bl

Yone’s Q is also remarkably similar to that of his brother Yasuo. This ability, like Yasuo’s «Steel Tempest,» is a straight-line skillshot that deals instant damage based on Yone’s attack damage and functions much like a buffed up auto-attack. The differences between the two character’s abilities lie in the third consecutive strikes. Unlike Yasuo, Yone’s third use of his Q is a knock-up attached to a dash. This means that Yone’s ability to chase enemies down is much more reliable than his counterpart. An additional bonus is that Yone can freely dash over walls to chase or escape from an en

Yone’s addition to League of Legends is significant, as Riot Games realized they struck gold when they released Yasuo in 2013. Yasuo has remained one of the most popular champions in League in the seven years since his release, and it’s apparent Riot wanted to take extra care in crafting a character to represent his brother. Yone is already a hit, making huge waves in the League community before he’s even made his way off of the Public Beta Environment. Along with the re-release of the League of Legends game mode Nexus Blitz , Yone’s release is sure to bring countless players to the Rift again, or perhaps even for the first t

This is a frustrating champion to rework because, in theory, his kit is amazing. He has a silence, a knock-up, the capacity to get absolutely huge and unkillable, and he has the best skin in the MOBA Game Updates: Gentleman Cho’G

Force of Nature was an essential item for tanks, due to the amount of self-sustaining healing it gives. This item regenerates 1.5% of your max HP every second, which provides an insane regeneration on top of an additional 200% base regen it also gives. Building Force of Nature with items like Warmog’s Armor and Spirit Visage makes tanks nearly unkillable without anti-healing items. Later, Force of Nature’s passive transfers to Warmog’s Armor , and then removed. These items brought about the first tank meta in League of Legen

Players will recognize both components of Yone’s passive, as they can be seen in practice with Sett and Yasuo. Sett shares the capability to deal increased damage on every second hit of his auto attacks, and Yasuo also has doubled crit-chance. This should make Yone’s hybrid passive feel very familiar to players who have frequented both of his predecess

If not dealt with, this item can hold waves for a long time, and help siege objectives. Also, every 4th minion it spawned as buffed, but each minion died after about 4 seconds on their

In an act of pure, unadulterated «teleports behind you,» Yone’s ultimate does precisely that. Yone dashes forward, damaging every enemy champion he hits and teleports behind the last target, then pulls all enemies hit towards him. This ultimate is a very simple ability that adds more damage and mobility to Yone’s kit. The ability is also able to jump over walls and can be used in a pinch to escape if nee

Yasuo has already received a Legendary skin with amazing effects, and considering an Ultimate skin costs over $30, Riot would be foolish not to give one to Yasuo, especially if they do something like «Sword Master Yasuo» which allows him to change the appearance and effects of his sword-similar to Cloud from Final Fantasy

Since his debut in 2012, Jayce has been troublesome to deal with at top lane , and it all stems from his ability to swap between a melee and ranged form.

If Jayce were to get an Ultimate skin, his physical appearance will have to change to some degree, but the main focus will have to be his weapon.

Being the best player, on the best team, in the best region secures Knight the number one spot. Finding flaws in his gameplay is a tall order. He consistently gains advantages over lane opponents. He moves around the map and supports his team better than anyone. His understanding of his and his team’s specific win conditions is impeccable, and he brings incredible champion diversity to the World’s stage. Top Esports is the overwhelming favorite to take home the title and Knight is the catalyst for their succ

However, the community remained adamant in their love for Nexus Blitz which resulted in Riot finally bringing it back, with a few changes, until the end of Spirit Blossom 2020. For first time Nexus players or returning veterans, there are several things to keep in mind during a chaotic Nexus Blitz ma

Leona’s best choice for summoning spells are going to be Flash and ignite. Flash can help Leona get in the middle of a fight or help her easily retreat from one as well. Ignite can be swapped with a barrier or heal to go with a more support play style, but ignite will bag more early kills for an aggressive Leona. For her Runes, the Resolve path is best for playing divey and aggressive. First on the Rune path, get Aftershock as it synergizes well with Leona’s abilities and provides extra resistances on top of Leona’s already existing ones. For your second Rune, go with Demolish because if you are playing aggressive as Leona, you’ll be near the enemy tower a lot so it would be ideal to deal extra damage to it. The third Rune spot should be filled with Conditioning because it synergizes really well with Leona’s Eclipse ability. Conditioning is also a free and guaranteed spike in tankiness at minute 12, which will cause even more problems for enemy ADCs that are also spiking in damage at this time. For your final Rune slot, go with either Unflinching or Overgrowth. Unflinching can be more helpful if you’re playing an aggressive Leona that likes to roam because then you don’t have to worry about first being near minion kills to benefit from the Rune. Unflinching will also provide Leona with much needed tenacity and slow resist so she can better maneuver when in the middle of a battle. On the other hand, Overgrowth will provide Leona with much needed extra HP that can help her survive high damage output in the late-MOBA Game Beginner Guide, so it is worth taking Overgrowth if you suspect a long g

Leona comes from a tribe that worships the sun, but has managed to turn the focus of her worship into her greatest weapon. As a support champion, Leona utilizes the power of the sun to deal magic damage and immobilize her opponents. Although the power of the sun undoubtedly hurts, Leona is best suited to let others deal consistent attack damage while she controls her foes and keeps their attention. For this reason, Leona is best played as a support . However, playing support doesn’t necessarily mean playing defensively. Leona excels at being right in the heart of the battle, where she burns bright like the

Nexus Blitz was an experimental game mode released during the summer of 2018 for several weeks and then briefly revived during the spring of 2019.

Valorant is the result of Overwatch, CS:GO, and Rainbow Six all wrapped up into an epic and appealing package. The game takes some of the most beloved gameplay elements of popular paid games, mixes them up, adds its own unique touch, and then releases it for free.

Kanavi may be the best jungler the LPL has ever sent to the World Championship. The Korean import fully embodies the patented LPL aggression with his champion pool (Lee Sin, Nidalee, Graves) and mechanics. He consistently finds advantages against enemy junglers through optimal pathing, counter-jungling, and ganking. He seems to know exactly when to start fights and how to set up his team for success. He spent the year outplaying some of the best junglers in the world, like Tian and Karsa, and he looks to do the same at Wor

With the dominant team gone, teams are going to have to worry less. What made OG strong was their unpredictability. Other teams have calm and collected players. Some have good social connections and positive environments. And some even have insane co-ordinated teamwork, but rarely do we see teams that blow away everyone time after time. OG had a thing for making the impossible possible and that was unique on its own, so with that gone, professional Dota 2 will frankly be more of a boresome eSport to watch. Watch the team’s race to get the hero or farm until they get their item build, repeat for every ma

Whether players only want to try Nexus Blitz once or intend to spend the next month queuing up for as many matches as possible, the game mode is certainly quick and a different take on League of Legends .

Garen’s ability, Courage, is both his second active and second passive ability. The passive ability is a permanent buff granted to Garen for slaying enemies. For every unit killed by Garen, his armor and magic resistance increase by 0.25 points until he reaches a total of 30 points. Once at 30 points (or stacks) Garen will gain an additional 10% increase to both his armor and magic resistance stats. Courage’s active protects Garen by reducing all incoming damage by 30% for a few seconds and during the first 0.75 seconds of the ability being active, Garen is also granted a bonus shield and 60% Tenacity. Tenacity decreases the time Garen is affected by crowd control abilities based on the percentage of Tenacity, which can help prevent Garen from being locked down or kited. Use Courage’s active ability during Judgement or immediately after if you expect to be hit hard by enem

The latest additional game mode is the highly requested Nexus Blitz, which is kind of a mix of both ARAM and Summoner’s Rift. This isn’t the first time this game mode has appeared, but its back with a new map and some other fun changes. Unfortunately, the game mode isn’t here to stay and is only in beta mode. It seems Riot Games wants to reserve Nexus Blitz for occasional events and is currently looking for player feedback on the fledgling mode. Currently, Nexus Blitz still has the same base objective as both ARAM and Summoner’s Rift, but every few minutes there is a mini-game event that both teams participate in. The team that wins the event gets a random bonus of some sort to benefit their team.
