5 Takeaways From The LEC s Wild Week 3

League of Legends has always had this problem as well, with certain items and abilities having a confusing amount of detail while effects like Grievous Wounds aren’t always properly explained on every item. Complex mechanics are natural in the MOBA Game Heroes genre, but making sure everything is legible, especially for smaller mobile devices, is vi


Mad Lions' innovation in their drafts and their well balanced team fights have made them one of the premier organizations in Europe, and a model franchise that teams around the globe (mainly North America) should look up


Overall, without innovative and creative performances from OG's full active roster from 2018, Dota 2 could be more of a lackluster eSport than its ever been. Mainly because playing Dota 2 is a puzzle, and it's always different, but the guidelines for playing it are still the same. What OG did was completely go beyond that and create their own guidelines, for example, Topson plays absurd heroes for mid lane, Ana abuses his opponents as IO core, and Ceb takes a break when his team fights and then Axe calls. Together they made a team of unpredictability and top-tier skill, both of which are the ingredients to making history. So without the unquestionability of how an event will progress or turnout, it leaves the world disappointed that Dota 2 may never get as significant as it did when OG owned the professional scene. However, there is still hope. OG will play at ESL One Los Angeles Major Qualifier for a spot in the third Major of the sea


Skarner is a limited champion players don’t often pick. Despite the utility of his ultimate, the last rework Skarner got mostly only improved on his visuals. The introduction of the spire system was a novelty at best and the rest of his kit has a "turn your brain off" v


Teams picking Volibear have the ability to flex the champion top or jungle, which will always add strength to the pick through versatility. But Volibear has only gone top twice in the LEC, and it has a 1-1 record in the top lane. In the jungle, the recently reworked champion has gone 3-3 and has looked inconsistent at ti


It can be intimidating for new players to see the list of characters in League of Legends, but thankfully not all of them are difficult to play. There are tons of simpler characters with clear, straightforward abilities like Veigar and Soraka, and Pokémon Unite could benefit greatly from having simple and approachable characters like them for new play


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-game, so it is worth taking Overgrowth if you suspect a long g


In Nexus Blitz you are able to pick a champion for yourself and one champion to ban the enemy team from picking. Good bans include those who do a lot of AOE damage such as Katarina and Miss Fortune. On the other hand, try to pick Champions that excel in AOE because you will be in team-fights almost constantly. A good choice for beginners may be Garen , who gets stronger with each fight. Each team also requires two junglers, but the laning/jungling phase is incredibly short so Champions are still best picked in regards to their fighting ability. The laning phase is short because of the map's design and also because of the mini-game events every few minutes. Unlike the classic three-lane map in Summoner's Rift, Nexus Blitz's map is horizontal and only has a middle and bot lane with the top dedicated to jungling. The map is also pretty tight which puts players in close proximity with the enemy. When most players are getting level 5 or 6, the countdown to the first mini-game will start and the game begins to devolve into constant team-fighting chaos. After this point, junglers leave the jungle and begin to help push middle lane since events occur frequently and often in the middle l
