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-MOBA Game guide level ga

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

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

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

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

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

His Q - Spinning Axe serves as his main damage dealer, while W - Blood Rush boosts his attack speed and movement speed. E - Stand Aside slows down enemy Champions, leaving them open for the chase. Lastly, Ult - Whirling Death lets him hurl his axes and damage everything on their way. Despite the fun nature of Draven, players might find him difficult to use as a lot of his successful combos rely on his axe positi

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

That might mean that, if players can get proficient enough with them, they may be able to carry themselves out of bronze like Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did during quarantine in 2020. Keep up with new ban trends across all of the LoL serv

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

Gangplank’s rework is very similar to Galio’s in that the rework fixed a lot of the difficult-to-balance issues with the champion. But the visual rework took out a ton of the original character (a common theme in many LoL rewor

However, the community remained adamant in their love for Nexus Blitz which resulted in Riot finally bringing it back, with a few changes, until the end of Spirit Blossom 2020. For first time Nexus players or returning veterans, there are several things to keep in mind during a chaotic Nexus Blitz ma

For instance, her E - Flame Breath amplifies the damage of her basic attacks. As such, this skill serves as a great pair for Q - Twin Bite, which combines two basic attacks at once. Her W - Burnout also gives constant damage-over-time. Not to mention, her Ultimate - Dragon's Descent transforms Shyvana into a literal dragon that knocks back enemies and gives Shyvana an edge anywhere on the

Furthermore, champions will automatically get gold by being near minion or monster kills. Finally, getting 4 kills without dying grants the ON FIRE! buff which gives increased attack speed, AD, AP, CDR, and resource regeneration but slightly increases damage taken while reducing shielding and healing. If someone gets ON FIRE!, the match will surely end soon unless they are stop

Like Lee Sin or Nidalee, Zed can take some time to master. As such, his percentage ban rate gets higher in the higher tiers like Platinum, Diamond, etc. As with previous champions on this list, players who want to climb the ranks could consider him for a solo-carry champ
