Having gotten a rework in April/May of 2020, Volibear saw renewed fan fervor and even competitive play in the LCS , LCK , and LEC respectively. Though he no longer has his signature flip, his ultimate is now an AOE slam that does some serious dam

League of Legends lore claims that Yasuo killed Yone, but Riot decided to gloss over the detail for the surprise reveal in a Dream Daddy -esque limited event starring some fan favorites like Ahri and their other newest champion Lill

In addition, Supernova scepter upgrade no longer allows Phoenix to cast Sun Ray, whereas the level 20 Talent has changed from a +1.25 second Supernova Stun Duration to Sun Ray During Supernova.

Scuttle Racing: 2 Rift Scuttlers race down a track from top lane to the bottom lane. Champions with CC are extremely valuable in slowing down the enemy Scuttler, but the allied Scuttler is also coded as a champion so it can be buffed, sped up, or thrown across the finish line with some interacti

Killstreaks no longer award 30-> 100 but instead 20->90. Along with the gold nerf of 7.26, this should further work to slow down early game level differences between teams following a few unfavorable scraps and will place more emphasis on the mid and endgame.

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

Diana goes hand-in-hand with Ekko, being banned in between 10% and 28.65% of games depending on rank. While she lacks the unusual ultimate, she has a similar library of crowd control and has a similar amount of versatility as both a middle lane fighter and a speedy assassin in the jung

King of the Hill: An area on the map becomes marked and teams have to stay there long enough to win. Because of that condition, any champions with circular AOE or extreme damage within an area like Illaoi can swiftly kill a team just standing st

Nexus Blitz was an experimental game mode released during the summer of 2018 for several weeks and then briefly revived during the spring of 2019. Although Nexus Blitz was a favorite because of its short match length, data showed that playtime for the MOBA Game Story guide mode dropped heavily by the end and Riot Games made the decision to pull the m

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

What makes this so broken was that the passive could stack with multiple Black Cleaver's , allowing about 150% armor shredding. With this, champions abilities that hit multiple times rapidly can destroy someone's armor to the point they are doing true dam

In their game against Excel, after a team fight win in the mid lane, the team split up. Kobbe went to push the wave in the top lane, while Iván "Razork" Martín went for Rift Herald and the rest of the team stayed mid to take the to
