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
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
For emerging victorious in an event, all members of the winning team are granted a temporary or permanent buff. Depending on the prize, it's either a small benefit or one that drastically tilts the game in that team's fa
Lee Sin fans love this Champion for his early-game potential, as he can go toe-to-toe against most Champions provided he gets the chance to snowball early. However, the difficulty arises when Lee Sin players need to be careful with his particular combos. These factors begin with Passive - Flurry as autoattacks after abilities store energy and gain 40% attack speed, making Lee Sin dependent on autoattacks for regenerat
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 MOBA Game Skins 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
One of the few supports to make the list, BeryL finds himself firmly in the top 20. Competing in the bot lane with AD Carry Jang "Ghost" Yong-jun, BeryL has been a rock for Ghost and their teammates, being the catalyst for a lot of the success DAMWON as a team have found in the League of Legends Champions Ko
Speaking of Death Prophet, players may be frustrated to hear that the character has received another round of nerfs following changes only recently. Apart from his starting speed reduced from 315 to 310, Exorcism now provides a movement speed bonus of 16/18/20%, down from 20% at all times, and the mana cost at all levels is now 50 more than before. The character will likely continue to see play, but mostly by diehard fans, and we hope this is the last round of nerfs the character is subjected to rece
King of the Hill: An area on the map becomes marked and teams have to stay there long enough to win. Because of that condition, any champions with circular AOE or extreme damage within an area like Illaoi can swiftly kill a team just standing st
Scuttle Racing: 2 Rift Scuttlers race down a track from top lane to the bottom lane. Champions with CC are extremely valuable in slowing down the enemy Scuttler, but the allied Scuttler is also coded as a champion so it can be buffed, sped up, or thrown across the finish line with some interacti
When playing Nexus Blitz, it's easy to forget that the main objective is still to destroy the enemy Nexus. Therefore, the Poro King reward is a really good reward to receive. The Poro King helps your team push lane and destroy turrets by tanking damage, healing allies periodically, and breathing fire on your enem
In Scuttle Racing, two Scuttles spawn in the middle lane, one for each team, and they stroll casually in a uniform line to the bottom of the map. The key to this game mode is that the scuttles are susceptible to abilities so use slows and stuns on the enemy scuttle while defending your team's with powerful damaging abilit
Q - Broken Wings allows her to dash-attack towards a target for up to three times, each giving Runic Blade charges. Her W - Ki Burst lets her emit a stun field around her, while E - Valor gives her a shield as she dashes forward. Lastly, Ult - Blade of the Exile gives her buffs, increases the area of Q and W, and even give her a powerful cone-attack Wind Sl
His Q - Spinning Axe serves as his main damage dealer, while W - Blood Rush boosts his attack speed and movement speed. E - Stand Aside slows down enemy Champions, leaving them open for the chase. Lastly, Ult - Whirling Death lets him hurl his axes and damage everything on their way. Despite the fun nature of Draven, players might find him difficult to use as a lot of his successful combos rely on his axe positi
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
