CLG's Stixxay Isn't Doubting Himself After A Last Place Finish

Other heroes have seen reductions in the movement speed of their base kit or of certain abilities, which is in line with the changes made the movement speed items listed above. Batrider’s Firefly speed bonus, Bloodseeker’s Thirst, Broothmother’s Spin Web, and Death Prophet are all heroes or abilities that have seen such movement speed reducti

But in the new meta of every League of Legends champion has mobility, tick or on-hit damage, and an array of crowd control effects, Cho’Gath’s immobility is a bridge too far for most players. He’s on Riot’s list of champions to rework, so maybe players will see one for him in 2

Despite the rocky start to 2020, the Counter Logic Gaming roster believes in themselves to turn it around this summer. And even if fans of the LCS may be doubting their ability to, Stixxay is certainly

So far, there does not seem to be much of a change in which items players prioritize in game, 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

Week 3 was a wild ride for fans and players of the League of Legends European Championship. Mad Lions and Rouge sit atop the standings, while Fnatic hovers below the playoff threshold in seventh place with a 3-4 rec

The Taunt king ( sorry Teemo ) has severely fallen out of fashion over the last few years. He used to be a fantastic jungler because his ganks were legendary with his rolling, his taunting, and his knock-up. But so many champions now have abilities to counter his approaches that it renders his utility useless. As a result, players might be able to use Rammus in lower ranks to rise up, but will find it very difficult to leverage his abilities in higher tiers of difficu

Although the top team is up for debate, Mad Lions are currently the best performing team in European League of Legends . Just a split ago, they were a group of five rookies, and they've since transformed into potentially the most synchronous team in the

What makes her more ban-worthy is just the mass of ability power damage she can do, exploding with her abilities any time she gets close to you. It isn’t as complicated to deal with as Ekko, but raw damage is something to be fea

But this rework exemplifies all the worst parts of Riot’s decision making when it comes to competitive play vs. fans enjoying the game. The rework makes Volibear "fit" into the current game meta but gets rid of the things that made him iconic like his flip which was a huge playmaking opportunity. Though his ult somewhat captures that spirit, the rework remains a bit contentious amongst the community. Volibear’s new kit is extremely broken if leveraged in the right way. It makes him horrible to play against because it restricts the ways players can approach the game or even what champions they can play against

Some higher-level players will say that the original GP "lacked skill expression." After all, an ability that heals and cleanses stacked with a Q ability that does crit damage and gives gold? Pretty sweet. GP’s original E ability was an attack speed, attack damage, and movement speed buff lasting for 7 seconds. The exchange for barrels could have been done without stripping GP of his personality. As a result, though Riot maintained much of what made Gangplank unique, many fans were disappointed with the rew

For noobs and pros alike, there are just some champions that will forever get banned in competitive play (and even in normals). Here’s 15 League of Legends champions that, according to statistics site op.gg, are the hottest on the ban list this y

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

Getting banned between 15% and 28% of the time, Leona certainly stands out from the previous two by being all about the stuns. She might not be able to kill champions herself, but with an explosive stunning ultimate with a long-range, she can be a menace in team fig

He can still get quite tanky while dealing damage and is great at counter jungling as well. For many teams, Volibear will serve as the only tank while bottom lane picks up a "support" Karma or Pyke and top lane picks up a damage-heavy Wukong or Cami

Blitzcrank is far from an unusual ban target, and there are certainly tons of strategies against him as he’s been in the MOBA Game Tips since the very beginning. But just because something’s old doesn’t mean it can’t still work, and Blitzcrank is far from being sent to the scrapyard anytime s
