No one is doubting how much damage Aphelios can output, but many teams are finally starting to see the weaknesses surrounding the champion. Aphelios can wreak havoc on an enemy team at any given moment, but playing around his damage, and killing him when he has the wrong guns out given the situation seems to be the way to win against
Talking about some of what the Counter Logic Gaming management provides for the players, "It's really helpful... we have two, maybe more, people that come in and help us with physical training," explained Stix
Riot Games recently released Valorant- a tactical FPS that rivals Overwatch in gameplay. No matter how well Valorant does, Riot will always be known as the developer who brought League of Legends to life in 2009, and the popular MOBA game meta has since become one of the most played games in the wo
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
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
So far, there does not seem to be much of a change in which items players prioritize in game, 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
OG has made numerous headlines recently with their roster changes, so much that it makes fans fear for the future of its adored Dota 2 team. With Anathan "Ana" Pham taking an extended break and Jesse "JerAx" Vainikka retiring from the professional scene, it makes people wonder what's going to happen to OG. But with OG Seed and OG CS: GO being newly introduced, this could mean a new chapter for the esteemed organizat
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
Ahead of the 2020 Spring Split, Counter Logic Gaming acquired former world champion Lee "Crown" Min-ho. After a 1-7 start, Crown was benched for veteran Eugene "Pobelter" Park. "When [Pobelter] first joined, the team was kinda off the rails in a way," Stixxay said while laughing. "We forgot about a lot of the fundamentals and basics of the game cause we’d just been losing so mu
This isn’t always the case, unfortunately, as this meme showcases the severe need some players have to crowd the lonely top laner when they’re happily working a lane on their own. League of Legends is a team-based game, but sometimes it’s okay to leave your teammates al
Despite the rocky start to 2020, the Counter Logic Gaming roster believes in themselves to turn it around this summer. And even if fans of the LCS may be doubting their ability to, Stixxay is certainly
The week was full of significant matchups and exciting plays. While there's still a lot to discover about Europe's professional League of Legends teams, fans did learn a lot from the matches this past week. Here are five takeaways from Week 3 of the
Nasus has been one of the most fundamental top lane champions in the entire game, being released in 2009 and receiving several buffs and visual updates along the way. What he’s most famous for is his Q ability, which empowers a basic attack with damage equal to the number of units he’s defeated with
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
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
The Emperor of the Sands has not received a skin in over three years, which is strange seeing as his Galactic, Warring Kingdoms, and Gravelord skins each have impressive effects and visuals. An Ultimate skin would work because any changes done to his appearance throughout the game can be added to the soldiers he summons, who have their own sand effects, and if Riot gives him the Elementalist treatment, there could be a variety of stunning effe
