Alright, that heading is a bit of an exaggeration, but Phoenix is the character to have received the most significant nerfs in this patch. The three main changes are that Fire Spirits has had its cooldown increased from 45/40/35/30 to 51/44/37/30, leaving the ability virtually unchanged in the late game but more difficult to spam in the early g

Misfts ended the Spring Split with a sixth place finish in playoffs, losing to Rouge. Many believed that the team would take a step up with the addition of former Team SoloMid bot laner Kasper "Kobbe" Kobberup. Mid laner Fabian 'FEBIVEN" Diepstraten combined with Kobbe in theory should propel the team to compete with the likes of Origen, Mad Lions and Ro

As individual players, Misfits fields strong talent on their roster. But as a team, the lineup just click the following page 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

In Scuttle Racing, two Scuttles spawn in the middle lane, one for each team, and they stroll casually in a uniform line to the bottom of the map. The key to this game mode is that the scuttles are susceptible to abilities so use slows and stuns on the enemy scuttle while defending your team's with powerful damaging abilit

Senna's performance was lackluster when she first debuted. In fact, she and Pyke went back and forth on which one got banned more. But after a series of balance patches to lower his damage output, Pyke has thankfully become less of a men

Ezeal was initially seen as the champion's strongest counter, but many teams have recently opted for the Kalista matchup. Kalista currently has a 5-3 record against Aphelios in Europe, and many talented AD carries such as Luka "Perkz" Perković and Martin "Rekkles" Larsson have lost to Kalista while on Aphel

Janna serves as a great Support introduction to players. For instance, Q - Howling Gale knocks up enemies in its general direction, while W - Zephyr can slow a target. Meanwhile, E - Eye of the Storm gives Janna a shield that absorbs damage and increases attack damage of teammates in Janna's proximity. These skills alone make Janna great for the defensive, as well as supp

The key to winning Nexus Blitz is to focus on winning the events as they happen and then using the benefits to push the objectives in-between events. The mini-game events are team-based, except for in the Prize Fight event where 1v1 battles take place, so work together with your team to succeed. Veteran players will be glad to see old mini-games returning such as King of the Hill, where the two teams vie for control over a small designated zone on the map and Push the Cart, an event where teams must escort a cart to a structure by standing near it. Some of the less self-explanatory events include Bardle Royal, URF Deathmatch, Loot Teemo, Loot Veigar, Scuttle Racing, Protect the Soraka, and DPS Ch

The young team finished last split in third place, and are well on their way to another great finish this summer. In the past two weeks, Mad Lions have had impressive victories against Fnatic, Origen and Rouge, the latter most earning them the exclusive first place spot in the standi

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. While no one enjoys seeing their favorite character nerfed, and there are many fans of Phoenix, these changes were necessary and simply take the hero from overpowered to within a far more acceptable range of po

Mad Lions' innovation in their drafts and their well balanced team fights have made them one of the premier organizations in Europe, and a model franchise that teams around the globe (mainly North America) should look up

Bardle Royale is of course a pun on the extremely popular Battle Royale genre. In Nexus Blitz there are 3 different variations of Bardle Royale. The first variation is classic where a ring of fire encloses on an area of the map, the two teams must battle it out until only one team is left standing. The second variation is Paranoia, where both teams must still fight in the enclosing circle, but all players are nearsighted for the duration of the event. The last variation is Juggernaut. One random Champion on each team is selected to have extra health and be On Fire! for the duration of the event. These two players receive bonuses to attack speed, adaptive power, and mana regeneration but are more vulnerable to damage. In all three variations, teamwork is key, but in Juggernaut especially you will have to focus the enemy juggernaut as a team before you can pick off the r
