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

His previous ultimate where he turned to stone and cc’ed/damaged nearby enemies was extremely useful late game once getting Zhonya's Hourglass. It could incapacitate all the right enemies so a Katarina, Akali, underwater Combat or Darius could bop around annihilating people. Though Galio’s new kit has more utility, his ultimate feels like a weaker Stand United from Shen and his other abilities feel like watered-down versions of his past ones. That said, the rework did remove the "flash taunt" move which most players regarded as super bro

Older players got to experience this item's power and know why it was quickly removed. Before the start of season three, Madred's Bloodrazor continues to dominate the rift. A very high-cost item but allows each basic attack to deal 4% of the target's maximum health as bonus magic damage. Pairing with a 40% attack speed makes this item extremely powerful. Primarily built on champions with AD, it allows them to destroy tanks who stack armor resist because of the bonus magic damage. Along with the odd stats it has, it wasn't easy to play against and is why it makes the l

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

His capacity to outplay at higher ranks is severely limited as his kit necessitates repetition — especially in a meta where popular champions like Athelios, Sett, and Graves (to name a few) can be very malleable and situatio

Pokémon Unite has another challenge in the form of its platforms, being the Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. With fast-paced multiplayer action games, these platforms can struggle with too many confusing and conflicting mechanics, so it's important to ensure characters and their moves are easy to cont

The most prominent is Doran’s Shield, a defensive starter item that’s been an outstanding part of early builds lately, even on certain ADC champions in the bottom lane. With some extra regeneration through abilities like Garen’s passive, it can make for an invincible champion at an unusually early point in the g

So long as Pokémon Unite has a large enough roster at launch, this shouldn’t be too likely depending on how rapidly they want to continue adding to it, and how well they compensate for new characters. If characters are purchased rather than free or earned through gameplay, having fast expansion could be just as much a financial concern for players

One of the last great things about the top lane is just how many champions you can put in it. There are tons of traditional champions built to fill the roles of a lane, but anything from spellcasters like Vlad to support mages like Soraka can be some surprisingly powerful characters . There are tons of ways to play, and few are inherently wr

Gangplank’s rework is very similar to Galio’s in that the rework fixed a lot of the difficult-to-balance issues with the champion. But the visual rework took out a ton of the original character (a common theme in many LoL rewor

Though players referred to old Sion as a "feast or famine" champion in that players either got super ahead or very behind, many older players miss his previous kit a great deal. Sion was a champion players could do almost anything with originally. Want to build AP Sion and destroy top lane until reaching the inhibitor at 15 minutes? Boom. Want to go full lifesteal, attack speed, and crit? Do it. There’s no risk of death at

Riot has a habit of prioritizing competitive play, as well as debuting champions that immediately get nerfed . Ahead of planned 2021 season changes , which champions desperately need reworks to function in the new game meta? Moreover, which ones do fans wish Riot had left al

Lee Sin fans love this Champion for his early-game potential, as he can go toe-to-toe against most Champions provided he gets the chance to snowball early. However, the difficulty arises when Lee Sin players need to be careful with his particular combos. These factors begin with Passive - Flurry as autoattacks after abilities store energy and gain 40% attack speed, making Lee Sin dependent on autoattacks for regenerat

Consistency is important in a game, and while these changes are small enough not to notice, it could be problematic for Pokémon Unite to have characters rebalanced or reworked way too fast early on. If the game wants to change its poorer qualities, it needs to start on a good foot so that major reworks aren't urg
