Many League of Legends players will tell you that the top lane is one of the calmest roles you can get in the game. It’s not as fast-paced as the middle lane, it’s far less complicated than the jungle, and it’s not as crowded as the bottom lane. Nonetheless, it’s a complex role with a lot of diversity that takes time to mas

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

Last Saturday, OG revealed that the carry god himself, Anathan "Ana," Pham would be taking an extended break and coming back next season. OG stated that Ana would be returning for the Dota Pro Circuit season of 2020-2021 to play as OG's front line carry posit

Unfortunately, the amount of diversity that’s possible leads to quite a bit of discourse, and there are few things that consistent top laners will agree on. If you find yourself disagreeing on the level of an aggravated Groundskeeper Willie , though, it’s recommended that you take a break and drink some water inst

Thanks to League of Legends , Riot Games manages to offer a unique multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA game tournaments) experience to the genre's fanbase. After all, fans who want a change of pace from Dota 2 can go to League for new heroes, fresh mechanics, and equally-intense battles. As such, it's no surprise how millions play the game online, with more newcomers arriving along the way. Moreover, its competitive esports scene motivates a lot of players to "go pro" and even start earning by joining competitions and showcasing their ski

Whether players only want to try Nexus Blitz once or intend to spend the next month queuing up for as many matches as possible, the game mode is certainly quick and a different take on League of Legends . But in the end, its player retention during Spirit Blossom 2020 will ultimately determine if Nexus Blitz returns sooner or goes away for a much longer time ag

Additionally, OG announced that its position-three player Jesse "JerAx" Vainikka will be spending his days off the stage. JerAx has officially retired from professional Dota 2 and will not be on the front line of OG's active roster. He hasn't left the organization, but he will be supporting from the sideli

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

Jungler Zhiqiang "Shad0w" Zhao, who is often criticized for having a small champion pool, brought out Ivern this past week, the champion's first time in the LEC this split. Shad0w had a fantastic game going 2/0/7 in an important game against Ro

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

Leona's abilities are geared towards getting in the middle of the fight and using crowd control abilities to allow her teammates to land their damage. Here is a basic overview of her abilities and when she might benefit from using t

With the dominant team gone, teams are going to have to worry less. What made OG strong was their unpredictability. Other teams have calm and collected players. Some have good social connections and positive environments. And some even have insane co-ordinated teamwork, but rarely do we see teams that blow away everyone time after time. OG had a thing for making the impossible possible and that was unique on its own, so with that gone, professional Dota 2 will frankly be more of a boresome eSport to watch. Watch the team's race to get the hero or farm until they get their item build, repeat for every ma
