Breaking Down Dota 2 Patch 7.26a

Stixxay talked about some of what he learned from his past bot lane partners. Speaking of aphromoo, who was his first-ever support in the LCS, Stixxay praised him for being a "personable" leader. "If I was in distress or I felt like I didn’t know what was going on with the team, he was always the guy that I’d message late at night and be like, ‘Yo, can you help me work through this because I just don’t know what’s going


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


Most of the items on this list have been removed or changed massively. We will also only look at items when they were at their most powerful and not going through a life cycle of possible changes. Here are our top picks for some of the most impactful items in League of Legends hist


This is the newest champion on the rework-needed list, but that doesn’t make him any less in need of one. Again, this champion reveals how much Riot undervalues average player experience vs. competitive p


Not only is he constantly getting nerfed and buffed, his kit just isn’t fun to play against and he’s a very "feast or famine" champion. Though his swamp/Catfish aesthetic is fantastic, Riot would basically have to completely rework his kit as opposed to performing surgery on some of his abilities for the champion to operate in a more balanced


Yasuo has already received a Legendary skin with amazing effects, and considering an Ultimate skin costs over $30, Riot would be foolish not to give one to Yasuo, especially if they do something like "Sword Master Yasuo" which allows him to change the appearance and effects of his sword-similar to Cloud from Final Fantasy


As the game goes on, Kha'Zix can evolve to suit the needs of the team, and when he evolves his appearance changes ever so slightly, whether it be his claws extending, developing growths on his shoulders, growing wings, or his entire body darkening in color. These changes are perfect to base an Ultimate skin around seeing as Pulsefire Ezreal's appearance changes in a similar


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


Leona's second active, Eclipse, casts a solar eclipse around Leona that protects her for 3 seconds. Eclipse provides a flat damage reduction while also providing bonus armor and magic resistance. If enemies are within the AOE radius of Eclipse when it runs out, magic damage based on Leona's level is dealt to them and Leona receives damage reduction and bonus resistances for another 3 seconds. This ability is best used after flashing into the middle of a fight or after using Zenith Blade to jump onto an enemy. Leona' will want to be as close to the enemy champs as she can when activating the ability because it is ideal to deal the magic damage from the detonation and also prolong her protection. However, 3 seconds is more than enough time for an opponent to flash away to safety so make sure you're right in the thick of the battle when you activate this abil


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


Since his debut in 2012, Jayce has been troublesome to deal with at top lane , and it all stems from his ability to swap between a melee and ranged form. When pressing R Jayce's Mercury Hammer transforms into the Mercury Canon, and with the right items, he can take off half of an opponent's health with one s


If you are a long time League of Legends player, this top entry might come at little to no surprise. Deathfire Grasp is one of the most popular items that the league community would love to get back, just as much as they hate it. Giving 120 AP, 10 cooldown reduction, and an active that deals 15% of the targets max Hp in magic damage. Not only does its active deal a lot of damage, but the target would take 20% more magic damage from any other spell for 4 seconds afterwards. DFG makes burst mages pop champions even faster, and those who didn't now could. The neutral Item overhaul is so popular, in Pentakill's first album, Smite and Ignite, this item is the second track on the al


Older players got to experience this item's power and know why it was quickly removed. Before the start of season three, Madred's Bloodrazor continues to dominate the rift. A very high-cost item but allows each basic attack to deal 4% of the target's maximum health as bonus magic damage. Pairing with a 40% attack speed makes this item extremely powerful. Primarily built on champions with AD, it allows them to destroy tanks who stack armor resist because of the bonus magic damage. Along with the odd stats it has, it wasn't easy to play against and is why it makes the l
