Like Galio, Volibear’s visual update seemed like a bit of a step back for veteran players. After all, Volibear’s appearance aged much better for a champion that released in 2011 even when compared to the more streamlined art style Riot opted for regarding new champions and the updated
As discussed earlier, Leona is best played as an aggressive support that takes advantage of enemies that are alone or have stepped up too close to the minion wave. As a support, she is best played bottom lane with a preferably ranged ADC that is willing to combo with Leona when she dives aggressively. In lane, you're going to want to harass the enemy ADC with Zenith Blade whenever they are alone or trying to last hit a minion . If you don't have wards and an enemy is missing, hide in the brush beside the river to provide vision for your ADC and then punish any enemy junglers that are come to tank. Leona has a ton of wave clear with Eclipse and Zenith Blade, so it is okay to be aggressive and push lane to the enemy tower. This kind of play will also synergize well with Demolish as you can do a lot of damage to the enemy towers early on. Clearing and pushing the wave also provides Leona with the opportunity to leave the lane and help out middle or top. Thanks to her Boots of Mobility, she can rotate to other lanes and easily engage the enemy from the brush. In the middle to late-game, Leona will excel at tanking damage and providing crowd control. Use her abilities to get right into the middle of the fight and draw attention away from your team. Then, use her Shield of Daybreak or Solar Flare to deal damage while immobilizing the enemy ADC. If Leona is in the absolute thick of it, use Eclipse and Gargoyle Stoneplate to tank the enemy team's damage output and let your team clean them
This was a very controversial rework in the LoL community. Though he has seen a great deal of competitive play in this year’s LCS, LCK, and LEC , the fun factor of playing him has dropped sharply. His new appearance, for starters, is quite underwhelming. He is white and gold just like a character from the abandoned MOBA game news Paragon who, curiously, has a similar ultimate to the reworked Galio
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
Battle Sled: A respawning sled appears in base that can be steered by the first player that climbs into it. Other allies can hitch a ride by jumping onto the sled and everyone will explode out upon colliding with terrain or an en
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
"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
Counter Logic Gaming's Trevor "Stixxay" Hayes has been through it all. He first joined the League of Legends organization as a substitute back in June of 2015. Nearly a year later, the bot laner won the 2016 North American Spring title in his first ever LCS sp
"I think something as simple as stretching and doing something that’s not waking up, sitting in your chair, and going straight into scrims is really helpful. It just helps your mindset a lot," added Stix
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
Leona's first active ability, Shield of Daybreak, has Leona use her shield to perform her next auto-attack. This next attack deals bonus magic damage to an enemy and stuns them for 1 second. This ability works best when it can be followed up with more crowd control from Leona's teammates. Essentially, Leona's Shield of Daybreak is meant to be the first ability used on an enemy that gives her teammates time and opportunity to land their abilities on the target as w
