Breaking Down Dota 2 Patch 7.26a

369’s champion pool tells the story of exactly what kind of player he is; Renekton, Wukong, Jayce, Jax, and even a Quinn game. The carry top laner shows glimpses of 2018 Theshy and brings yet another carry threat to an already stacked Top Esports t

Top Esports looks like the best team in the world, and their jungler is a big reason as to why. Many remember him as being a part of the notorious «Korean Killers» with Flash Wolves, and Karsa hopes to continue his tradition of beating Koreans during Worlds 2

Kanavi may be the best jungler the LPL has ever sent to the World Championship. The Korean import fully embodies the patented LPL aggression with his champion pool (Lee Sin, Nidalee, Graves) and mechanics. He consistently finds advantages against enemy junglers through optimal pathing, counter-jungling, and ganking. He seems to know exactly when to start fights and how to set up his team for success. He spent the year outplaying some of the best junglers in the world, like Tian and Karsa, and he looks to do the same at Wor

Perhaps the most realistic interpretation of the top lane goes to this comic by The Game Room. The artist does spectacular work showcasing the hecticness of the other lanes as they engage in the fantastical battles of the trailers, putting players in dire situations to dig themselves out

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-moba game Tier list level ga

Diversity is an important skill in any role of League of Legends . Knowing how to play another is vital when you’re randomly forced to play it in Solo Queue, and the top lane’s calm farming strategies can often be a great place for other players to experiment w

Yone is a mobile melee attack-damage caster/assassin like his brother. Though it remains to be seen where Yone will fit into the meta, it’s safe to say that mid-laners who are fond of the in-and-out, high-damage playstyle of Yasuo will find themselves right at home with Yone. This guide will get players familiar with Yone’s abilities and started on the path to slicing up the trolls in /all chat with two katanas in h

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

As one of the most talented bot laners in the game, LokeN returned to his home of JD Gaming after a short stint with Top Esports. In his first split back, LokeN and his teammates defeated the very same Top Esports in China’s League of Legends Pro League Spring Finals, winning JD Gaming their first title as an organization. Paired with support Zuo «LvMao» Ming-Hao, JD Gaming’s strong bot lane makes them one of the favorites to win it all in 2

Subsequently, OG also revealed their first out of lane branching team named OG CS: GO, which is comprised of the best Counter-Strike: Global Offensive players in the world. The team’s most recent accomplishment was way back in December, wherein the team placed third and pocketed $21.5 thousand. A new front may be in the making for

As usual, there is quite a bit to read in the 7.26a patch notes, and readers can click here for the full announcement. Best of luck to everyone and keep an eye out for players who may be overextending themselves with these new changes, as they likely have not read the notes and are ripe for a quick kill until they figure it

Shen is directly mentioned in this meme due to his ultimate, which lets him teleport to foes across the map at an unusual speed. Top laners in general will still be frequent users of Teleport, a Summoner Spell that allows them to do the same thing. Often, this can be done to return to the lane quickly, as it’s a long walk for many slow champi

This means that certain heroes who have a high base movement speed such as Keeper of the Light will benefit less from the use of these items compared to before because they are receiving a bonus that disregards their inherently high base speed. On the opposite end of things, heroes that are inherently slower in their base speed like Medusa will benefit slightly by becoming faster than when using percentage-based bonus items for movement speed. Players who do not pay attention to this change will certainly be in for a rude awakening as they slightly overextend with a hero that was slightly faster only last w

Adding to the problem of more aggressive top lane champions, the decision on what aggressive item is best is becoming less and less of a question. This meme proves just how powerful some weapons are regardless of the user, as the Blade of the Ruined King can be weirdly effective for nearly any aggressive physical champ
