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

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

They wanted to take everything, and they ended up getting nothing, as the remaining Excel members jumped onto the three Misfits players in the mid lane and forced everyone else away from their objectives. Misfits has the potential to be a top tier team, but they’re just not at that level

Stixxay described the veteran’s impact on the team, “When he came in, he would just point out very basic things like, ‘Guys we knew their jungler is right here, why are you dying?’ Stuff like that. Where nowadays, that’s obviously very straightforwa

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

Cho’Gath made his Summoner’s Rift debut back in 2008, and the Terror of the Void has since received two Legendary skins-even though Gentleman Cho’Gath feels more like a simple re-skin, but at least his Battlecast skin comes with its own effects and animati

Riven fans love this Champion for her mobility and capability to punish entire teams during late-game. Unfortunately, despite her easy-to-use (almost predictable) nature, she can become difficult to master. Her Passive – Runic Blade gives her charges whenever she uses an ability, all of which enhances her autoatta

Week 3 was a wild ride for fans and players of the League of Legends European Championship. Mad Lions and Rouge sit atop the standings, while Fnatic hovers below the playoff threshold in seventh place with a 3-4 rec

The talented Vietnam native has been one of many shining stars for the young Suning team. Together with Xiang “Angel” Tao, SofM comprises half of a strong mid-jungle duo, which helped lead to Suning grabbing China’s third spot at Worlds. With over 60% win percentages on Trundle, Lee Sin, Graves as well as Jarven IV, SofM easily lands among the top junglers in the wo

So far, there does not seem to be much of a change in which items players prioritize in Moba Game Skins, however the price difference has meant that matches see a longer delay before they can be purchased, or they are forgone entirely in favor of saving up for another, more expensive item a little earlier. Overall, the price changes seem healthy as before it was too simple to stock up on key items too quic

After the offseason, the CLG bot laner feels as though his team has gone through a fundamental reset. Now, with the team off to a 3-1 start, Stixxay feels confident in his teammates to perform better than they did last sp

“I think our goal, luckily due to the bracket changes that Riot made last split, will be to make Worlds this Summer Split. I think we’re capable of it, I think we have a lot of experienced players that know what it takes to compete at a high lev

Certain items have had their costs increase to reflect their strength and the broad utility that players gain from acquiring them early in the game. By upping their respective costs, players can skill benefit from each but will need to wait longer to afford each. The main price changes

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

Teams picking Volibear have the ability to flex the champion top or jungle, which will always add strength to the pick through versatility. But Volibear has only gone top twice in the LEC, and it has a 1-1 record in the top lane. In the jungle, the recently reworked champion has gone 3-3 and has looked inconsistent at ti
