Spirit Blossom 2020 centers around the Ionian Spirit Blossom skins which are canon in League of Legends' lore. After a brief tease during this year's Anime Expo Lite stream, the skins were slowly revealed and culminated with a teaser video last week previewing Spirit Blossom's themes. While veteran players should be familiar with the reward structure, there are several different elements compared to past eve

Shen is directly mentioned in this meme due to his ultimate, which lets him teleport to foes across the map at an unusual speed. Top laners in general will still be frequent users of Teleport, a Summoner Spell that allows them to do the same thing. Often, this can be done to return to the lane quickly, as it’s a long walk for many slow champi

Demacian Justice: This is a single target ability that when activated, will cause Garen to jump high into the air and slam down on a single opponent, dealing true damage in combination with a percentage of the target's missing health. This move is best used as a finisher because it has a long cooldown and relies on the target only having 10-25% of their max hea

Whether players only want to try Nexus Blitz once or intend to spend the next month queuing up for as many matches as possible, the game mode is certainly quick and a different take on League of Legends . But in the end, its player retention during Spirit Blossom 2020 will ultimately determine if Nexus Blitz returns sooner or goes away for a much longer time ag

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

Many League of Legends players will tell you that the top lane is one of the calmest roles you can get in the Moba Game Dlc. It’s not as fast-paced as the middle lane, it’s far less complicated than the jungle, and it’s not as crowded as the bottom lane. Nonetheless, it’s a complex role with a lot of diversity that takes time to mas

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

The top lane has changed drastically in the past few years, much thanks to a greater diversity of archetypes that can fit into each role. While the top lane used to be mostly populated by heavy tanks, this meme successfully illustrates how some of the game’s best current top laners are vicious fighters with an alarming amount of speed and dam

Once again, if we view the overall theme of 7.26 as an effort by Valve to slow down gameplay, many of the changes to heroes make perfect sense. For starters, Alchemist has seen Greedevil’s Greed cap reduced from 20/24/28/32 to 18/22/26/30, and the base gold bonus reduced from 4 to 3. This means that Alchemist is far less effective at farming in the new patch, but still in line with most other heroes of the same t

As usual, there is quite a bit to read in the 7.26a patch notes, and readers can click here for the full announcement. Best of luck to everyone and keep an eye out for players who may be overextending themselves with these new changes, as they likely have not read the notes and are ripe for a quick kill until they figure it

The next League of Legends event is finally arriving after Pulsefire 2020 previously ended over a month ago. From July 22nd to August 24th, Spirit Blossom 2020 is a summer celebration that brings back missions, prizes, and the Nexus Blitz game mode for participating play

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

In the late-game, it may be especially hard to earn gold as a support Leona. Therefore, it is best to get your essential items first and then leave the rest of your build open to adapt to the game. Although the choices in items may seem daunting at first, remember to invest in items that primarily provide damage resistances and bonus

Instead of traditional missions, 10 Spirit Bonds will be forged during Spirit Blossom 2020. To start, players need to click on each champion's picture to meet them and begin earning favor, the point system for different rewards. Make sure to talk to all the available portraits immediately since favor won't count for champions that haven't been spoken
