5 Takeaways From The LEC s Wild Week 3

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


If players need more tokens to purchase items, they can buy the Spirit Blossom Pass for 1650 RP. Purchasing the pass will automatically add 4 Kanmei Orbs and 200 Spirit Blossom Tokens. However they also get 25 tokens for each Spirit Bond rank for a total of 1000 extra Spirit Blossom Tokens. Finally, the pass also unlocks Milestone rewards and tokens for every match played during the ev


In addition, Azir's difficulty arises when players consider his skillset that primarily deals with minion control. W - Arise! allows him to summon untargetable Sand Soldiers which can attack enemies for him. He can reposition them with Q - Conquering Sands, and E - Shifting Sands to move towards them. Lastly, his Ult - Emperor's Divide lets Azir call a team of soldiers to attack enemies and form a wall for a short durat


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


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


While the complexity of Spirit Blossom 2020 may be initially confusing, Spirit Bonds are just slightly renamed missions with a similar progression system. And there seems to be more to this Ionian festival and summer event than described so far, as several Spirit Blossom skins are releasing at a later date along with Yone, the presumed masked man from the teas


The champion who is often associated with "200 years" has been facing some adversity as of late. As one of the most heavily contested champions in the meta currently, Apehlios has gone 2-6 in its last 8 games in the


After a less than 1 second delay, Leona's Ultimate ability, Solar Flare, directly beams a target location with solar energy. Enemies struck by the center of this beam are dealt magic damage based on Leona's level. Enemies directly struck by the beam are also slowed by 80% and stunned for 1.5 seconds. Enemies that are within the AOE of the Solar Flare but have not been struck directly by the center are dealt the same magic damage and slow, but not stunned. This ability is best used when the enemies are in very close proximity to each other. Since its an AOE ability and not a single-target one, you can stun multiple enemies with the epicenter as long as they manage to be right on top of each other. Using this ability after Zenith Blade and Shield of Daybreak means that an enemy can be immobilized for a whopping 3 seconds, which is more than enough time for your team to back you


Leona's abilities are geared towards getting in the middle of the fight and using crowd control abilities to allow her teammates to land their damage. Here is a basic overview of her abilities and when she might benefit from using t

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 Underwater combat many talented AD carries such as Luka "Perkz" Perković and Martin "Rekkles" Larsson have lost to Kalista while on Aphel


Leona comes from a tribe that worships the sun, but has managed to turn the focus of her worship into her greatest weapon. As a support champion, Leona utilizes the power of the sun to deal magic damage and immobilize her opponents. Although the power of the sun undoubtedly hurts, Leona is best suited to let others deal consistent attack damage while she controls her foes and keeps their attention. For this reason, Leona is best played as a support . However, playing support doesn't necessarily mean playing defensively. Leona excels at being right in the heart of the battle, where she burns bright like the


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.
