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
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. When pressing R Jayce's Mercury Hammer transforms into the Mercury Canon, and with the right items, he can take off half of an opponent's health with one s
Entering his tenth split with CLG, Stixxay has had the opportunity to play with a wide variety of teammates. From being the young rookie playing next to the veteran Zaqueri "aphromoo" Black , Stixxay has since transformed into the old-timer himself. Now at the age of 23, he's able to share his wisdom with the team's newcom
Killstreaks no longer award 30-> 100 but instead 20->90. Along with the gold nerf of 7.26, this should further work to slow down early game level differences between teams following a few unfavorable scraps and will place more emphasis on the mid and endgame. Valve is also literally slowing down movement for some characters by moving away from percentage-based movement speed bonuses to flat number increases. For example, Boots of Speed, Power Treads, and Arcane Boots used to all say +15%, and now instead say
Once again, if we view the overall theme of 7.26 as an effort by Valve to slow down gameplay, many of the changes to heroes make perfect sense. For starters, Alchemist has seen Greedevil’s Greed cap reduced from 20/24/28/32 to 18/22/26/30, and the base gold bonus reduced from 4 to 3. This means that Alchemist is far less effective at farming in the new patch, but still in line with most other heroes of the same t
So far, there does not seem to be much of a change in which items players prioritize in MOBA Game tier List, however the price difference has meant that matches see a longer delay before they can be purchased, or they are forgone entirely in favor of saving up for another, more expensive item a little earlier. Overall, the price changes seem healthy as before it was too simple to stock up on key items too quic
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
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
Patch 7.26a has now been live in Dota 2 for a few days and we can finally discuss how the most recent changes are affecting players in both casual and competitive games. Some the changes were expected by the community in general relating to other changes from a previous patch, and it is best to consider some of these changes as an overall effort to slow down early-game level ga
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
This means that certain heroes who have a high base movement speed such as Keeper of the Light will benefit less from the use of these items compared to before because they are receiving a bonus that disregards their inherently high base speed. On the opposite end of things, heroes that are inherently slower in their base speed like Medusa will benefit slightly by becoming faster than when using percentage-based bonus items for movement speed. Players who do not pay attention to this change will certainly be in for a rude awakening as they slightly overextend with a hero that was slightly faster only last w
After the offseason, the CLG bot laner feels as though his team has gone through a fundamental reset. Now, with the team off to a 3-1 start, Stixxay feels confident in his teammates to perform better than they did last sp
He also mentioned the difficulties of it all due to the quarantine. "We typically have an online session, usually thirty minutes a day, where we’re getting up and stretching and all that before scrims. That’s been really helpful and I think it helps put a fresh spin on the day. We kind of treat everything like it’s
