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 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
“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
As usual, there is quite a bit to read in the 7.26a patch notes, and readers can click here for the full announcement. Best of luck to everyone and keep an eye out for players who may be overextending themselves with these new changes, as they likely have not read the notes and are ripe for a quick kill until they figure it
Ahead of the 2020 Spring Split, Counter Logic Gaming acquired former world champion Lee “Crown” Min-ho. After a 1-7 start, Crown was benched for veteran Eugene “Pobelter” Park. “When [Pobelter] first joined, the team was kinda off the rails in a way,” Stixxay said while laughing. “We forgot about a lot of the fundamentals and basics of the game cause we’d just been losing so mu
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
Earlier today, League of Legends players got started on the latest event, Spirit Blossom 2020 and bonding with certain champions . But rewards aren’t the only thing the community is excited about since the Nexus Blitz game mode is also making its long-awaited ret
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
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 Turn-based combat Strategy 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
If players need more tokens to purchase items, they can buy the Spirit Blossom Pass for 1650 RP. Purchasing the pass will automatically add 4 Kanmei Orbs and 200 Spirit Blossom Tokens. However they also get 25 tokens for each Spirit Bond rank for a total of 1000 extra Spirit Blossom Tokens. Finally, the pass also unlocks Milestone rewards and tokens for every match played during the ev
During the Early-Mid game you will want to grab your first essential item which will be the Gargoyle Stoneplate. This item will provide much needed passive resistances as well as its active will allow you to increase your max HP by 100% for 4 seconds which can be vital when in the middle of a fight. However, at this point Leona’s max HP is kind of low so it would be smart to turn the early game Kindlegem into a Knight’s Vow which synergizes really well with a support play-style. Knight’s Vow will allow you to designate an ally champion as your partner and grant you bonuses if you are within range of t
Certain items have had their costs increase to reflect their strength and the broad utility that players gain from acquiring them early in the game. By upping their respective costs, players can skill benefit from each but will need to wait longer to afford each. The main price changes
Two basic but important combos with Leona are her basic attack reset and her full combo with all her abilities. Since Leona’s Shield of Daybreak is a basic attack reset, you can follow up a basic attack with it and then also follow up the shield attack with another basic attack. First, right click an enemy and then use Shield of Daybreak to immediately hit them again. After the Shield hit, use your basic attack again which will result in 3 quick hits. Use this combo after Zenith Blading to an enemy or when destroying wards in the brush. For her full combo, either start with Solar Flare to stun enemies at a range, or use Zenith Blade to root them, then follow up with Shield of Daybreak and Eclipse. Since the enemy should be fairly immobile, it will be easy to land Solar Flare if you didn’t already start with
