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
Xerath is also a ranged mage who has four skill shots, and based on the quality of the effects of his Guardian of the Sands and Darkstar skins, he is a perfect candidate for another Elementalist skin, or at the very least a similar skin that requires him to actually land his abilit
Role assignments are a little different compared to Summoner's Rift with 3 laners and 2 junglers compared to the 5 specialized roles in a normal League of Legends match. Additionally, Nexus Blitz only has 2 lanes so 1 player will always be going solo against an opponent. The jungle is split between the 2 lanes, with various camps filled by tougher monsters than those found on Summoner's Rift. The 2 junglers must work together to clear these camps, but will share increased EXP, gold, and buffs by doing
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
Stixxay also spoke of his former teammate and current Team SoloMid support, Vincent "Biofrost" Wang, saying, "I think it took a while for me and Bio to be good, or close as a bot lane... He kinda has the brain of an AD carry player, I feel like and not so much as a support. So, he’s really good at mechanical things or small things that other supports don’t
DAMWON dominated the LCK in summer and come into Worlds as the team with the highest potential to reclaim the World Championship crown for South Korea, and Showmaker is at the root. He comes into the tournament with a KDA of 16. For context, T1’s Teddy had the second-highest KDA at 7.8. DAMWON's success stems from Showmaker’s ability to completely take over a game. The LCK MVP looks to show the World why Damwon is so domin
"I think our goal, luckily due to the bracket changes that Riot made last split, will be to make Worlds this Summer Split. I think we’re capable of it, I think we have a lot of experienced players that know what it takes to compete at a high lev
Prize Fight: Both teams square off in 1v1 or 2v2 fights at the center of the map. Note that fighting players will spawn near the brush in lane, so placing some traps as Teemo, Maokai, or other champions prior to the event start can result in a quick round vict
Stixxay described the veteran's impact on the team, "When he came in, he would just point out very basic things like, ‘Guys we knew their jungler is right here, why are you dying?’ Stuff like that. Where nowadays, that’s obviously very straightforwa
After a less than 1 second delay, Leona's Ultimate ability, Solar Flare, directly beams a target location with solar energy. Enemies struck by the center of this beam are dealt magic damage based on Leona's level. Enemies directly struck by the beam are also slowed by 80% and stunned for 1.5 seconds. Enemies that are within the AOE of the Solar Flare but have not been struck directly by the center are dealt the same magic damage and slow, but not stunned. This ability is best used when the enemies are in very close proximity to each other. Since its an AOE ability and not a single-target one, you can stun multiple enemies with the epicenter as long as they manage to be right on top of each other. Using this ability after Zenith Blade and Shield of Daybreak means that an enemy can be immobilized for a whopping 3 seconds, which is more than enough time for your team to back you
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
Week 3 saw the battle for first place as well as the battle of G2 and Fnatic happen, but get this: they were different games. Mad Lions currently lead the way in the LEC with a 6-1 record through three weeks. Rouge are one MOBA game items behind them while four teams are tied for the third place spot behind Ro
Stixxay talked about some of what he learned from his past bot lane partners. Speaking of aphromoo, who was his first-ever support in the LCS, Stixxay praised him for being a "personable" leader. "If I was in distress or I felt like I didn’t know what was going on with the team, he was always the guy that I’d message late at night and be like, ‘Yo, can you help me work through this because I just don’t know what’s going
The young team finished last split in third place, and are well on their way to another great finish this summer. In the past two weeks, Mad Lions have had impressive victories against Fnatic, Origen and Rouge, the latter most earning them the exclusive first place spot in the standi
