5 Takeaways From The LEC s Wild Week 3

No one is doubting how much damage Aphelios can output, but many teams are finally starting to see the weaknesses surrounding the champion. Aphelios can wreak havoc on an enemy team at any given moment, but playing around his damage, and killing him when he has the wrong guns out given the situation seems to be the way to win against

Zoom does everything JDG requires him to at near perfection. If JDG needs hard engage and a frontline, Zoom will play the best Ornn in the world. If JDG needs top lane domination, Zoom does exactly that on Renekton and Camille. There is no variance with Zoom and in a region that has plenty of instability, Zoom’s stability lands him as the best top laner in the wo


In the same matchup against Rouge, Mad Lions purposely let through Varus, who has essentially been a global perma-ban in League of Legends as of late. Mad Lions then immediately locked in Senna and Wukong as their bot lane. They smashed the Varus-led Rouge, with Matyáš "Carrzy" Orság going 2/1/7 on Senna and Norman "Kaiser" Kaiser going 3/0/6 on Wuk


The champion who is often associated with "200 years" has been facing some adversity as of late. As one of the most heavily contested champions in the meta currently, Apehlios has gone 2-6 in its last 8 games in the


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-Fighting Game Roster, 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


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


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


As individual players, Misfits fields strong talent on their roster. But as a team, the lineup just hasn't gelled together how fans believe they could. Their macro play has been a point of inconsistency, with their players often on different pa


After the offseason, the CLG bot laner feels as though his team has gone through a fundamental reset. Now, with the team off to a 3-1 start, Stixxay feels confident in his teammates to perform better than they did last sp


Leona's best choice for summoning spells are going to be Flash and ignite. Flash can help Leona get in the middle of a fight or help her easily retreat from one as well. Ignite can be swapped with a barrier or heal to go with a more support play style, but ignite will bag more early kills for an aggressive Leona. For her Runes, the Resolve path is best for playing divey and aggressive. First on the Rune path, get Aftershock as it synergizes well with Leona's abilities and provides extra resistances on top of Leona's already existing ones. For your second Rune, go with Demolish because if you are playing aggressive as Leona, you'll be near the enemy tower a lot so it would be ideal to deal extra damage to it. The third Rune spot should be filled with Conditioning because it synergizes really well with Leona's Eclipse ability. Conditioning is also a free and guaranteed spike in tankiness at minute 12, which will cause even more problems for enemy ADCs that are also spiking in damage at this time. For your final Rune slot, go with either Unflinching or Overgrowth. Unflinching can be more helpful if you're playing an aggressive Leona that likes to roam because then you don't have to worry about first being near minion kills to benefit from the Rune. Unflinching will also provide Leona with much needed tenacity and slow resist so she can better maneuver when in the middle of a battle. On the other hand, Overgrowth will provide Leona with much needed extra HP that can help her survive high damage output in the late-game, so it is worth taking Overgrowth if you suspect a long g
