Stixxay is aware of the negative sentiment surrounding his team, even if he's not in agreement with it. "I just don't think it's true," Stixxay said of the public's view. "I don’t think we’re a 10th place team, so last split was really disappointing for us. It just put a sour taste in everyone’s mouth... I think we had a really bad split and we worked a lot in the offseason to fix a lot of those thin

Volibear's strengths become apparent as an aggressive, all-in-type champion. If his team is not on the same page as him, his all-in dives become problematic, and can lose his team the game. Teams need to be careful when picking Volibear, as he's not a champion that belongs in every team composit

Garen's ability, Courage, is both his second active and second passive ability. The passive ability is a permanent buff granted to Garen for slaying enemies. For every unit killed by Garen, his armor and magic resistance increase by 0.25 points until he reaches a total of 30 points. Once at 30 points (or stacks) Garen will gain an additional 10% increase to both his armor and magic resistance stats. Courage's active protects Garen by reducing all incoming damage by 30% for a few seconds and during the first 0.75 seconds of the ability being active, Garen is also granted a bonus shield and 60% Tenacity. Tenacity decreases the time Garen is affected by crowd control abilities based on the percentage of Tenacity, which can help prevent Garen from being locked down or kited. Use Courage's active ability during Judgement or immediately after if you expect to be hit hard by enem

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

League of Legends continues to evolve throughout ten seasons since 2009. With each season comes massive changes to champions, items, and the way you play the MOBA game meta. Some of the items have had compelling moments in the past few ye

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

Aphelios may no longer be the newest champion , but he is still quite young, and is fairly popular despite the fact that he is a bit confusing to use. The reason for this is because he is an ADC who alternates between five weapons which have different stats, abilities, range, and effe

Xerath is also a ranged mage who has four skill shots, and based on the quality of the effects of his Guardian of the Sands and Darkstar skins, he is a perfect candidate for another Elementalist skin, or at the very least a similar skin that requires him to actually land his abilit

Since his debut in 2012, Jayce has been troublesome to deal with at top lane , and it all stems from his ability to swap between a melee and ranged form. When pressing R Jayce's Mercury Hammer transforms into the Mercury Canon, and with the right items, he can take off half of an opponent's health with one s

Force of Nature was an essential item for tanks, due to the amount of self-sustaining healing it gives. This item regenerates 1.5% of your max HP every second, which provides an insane regeneration on top of an additional 200% base regen it also gives. Building Force of Nature with items like Warmog's Armor and Spirit Visage makes tanks nearly unkillable without anti-healing items. Later, Force of Nature's passive transfers to Warmog's Armor , and then removed. These items brought about the first tank meta in League of Legen

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

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

League has several champions who can be considered mascots, and Teemo is definitely one of them. Teemo is special because people love to play him, but they also hate playing against him, and it has to do with the fact that he poisons and blinds opponents, but he also places poisonous mushrooms throughout the map that turn invisible and explode on cont

Annie's cute appearance becomes a terror on the battlefield when she starts burning everything around her. She has high magic burst damage and crowd control skills make her a viable mid-lane Champion for beginners. After all, her Passive can stun enemies hit with her fifth skill c
