Champion Spotlight: Sejuani, the Winter's Wrath


Sejuani has been available now after remake. Let’s see these changes on Sejuani and figure out the way to play her.

In this edition of the Champion Spotlight, you'll learn how to freeze enemies into ice-cubes, hurtling from the jungle as Sejuani, the Winter's Wrath.


lol, Champion, Sejuani

As a tanky, crowd-control machine, Sejuani tears through monster camps and pressures lanes with high-impact ganks. Her full suite of spells suited perfectly for securing kills, Sejuani bursts from the jungle to knock opponents into the air with Arctic Assault. Once stunned, she whittles them down with Flail of the Northern Winds, and eliminates any escape plans using Glacial Prison. Her early game pressure translates to late game initiation and her crowd control can peel enemies off allied champions. From the early game to the end stage, the Winter's Wrath brings home the bacon.

Check out the video for tips, tricks, and sample runes and masteries for going full boar as Sejuani.

First Champion in League of Legends Nerfed for a Whole Year - Irelia


Players who have played League of Legends Season 2 must know Irelia, the Will of the Blades, the top solo champion either been banned or picked. She was once the dominator among top solo champions who was invincible in early game. She could enter and got out of opponent faction easily in mid game and dealt double or triple kill. Later, RIOT nerfed her several times. As a result, Irelia becomes powerless now and few players play her now.

Now let’s review the nerf history of Irelia.

1. Irelia is the first champion nerfed on concept art in the history of League of Legends.

The picture above is the concept art of Irelia released on magazine by Riot. We can see clearly that she has 8 blades as her weapons.

But when Irelia finally launched, the concept art changed.

These two pictures are quite different. Besides her narrower chest, there are only 4 blades now. Although the new Irelia seems more beautiful now from her face, it’s hard to accept the changes.

2. She rose in Season 2 and then was nerfed 13 times in a row.
Irelia was a normal champion at the beginning of her launch. All her stats were great and she could play varied roles. In eyes of players, Irelia was quite normal and needed to be buffed. Soon, the first buff came.

Then, nightmare began.

Some adventurous players began to try Irelia. They found that she could fight against all other champions when solo top lane and had dash skill, true damage, certain magic damage of skill, AD damage, directional ult with long range of damage, strong restoring ability, resistant to control. She could also slow and stun unit. Afterwards, Wicked developed the gameplay of Irelia with Wriggle's Lantern and Wit's End. Players started to notice Irelia. What was more, free Irelia week came and she became quite hot. RIOT also realized the power of such a top solo champion and started endless nerf of Irelia.

Irelia was nerfed ceaselessly during the whole year from March 15th, 2011 to March 20th, 2012. But she was still very powerful. However, with the joining of more strong top solo champions, Irelia faded away in the end.

Once there was a popular saying in the forum that “New champion is too powerful, seems that Riot will nerf Irelia soon”.

Also there’s saying in my heart as well as all Irelia fans’ hearts that “You have nerfed Irelia’s skills, yet you can’t nerf the will in my heart”.

Extreme Challenge: Level 11 Nunu Solos Baron at 15th Minute


Recently a player released a video about level 11 Nunu soloed Baron at 15th minute when Baron just refreshed. The video is 53 seconds. We can see from the video that Nunu has only 3 equips: Fiendish CodexSpirit of the Spectral WraithNinja Tabi and three Health Potion. He has nearly 1,300 gold left. From the scoreboard on the top right corner, he got 76 minions after killing the bot 6 times. The player mentioned in his article:” if you want to kill Baron earlier, you need help from your friends instead of solo yourself.”


Do you still remember the video of Shaco killing Baron within 2.5 seconds?
Now Shaco has been nerfed. We can seldom see such situations now. Let’s watch the video again to review the shocking killing.

League of Legends Bugs: Fiddlesticks' Seckill and Lee Sin's Combo


This time I will bring you the bugs of Fiddlesticks, the Harbinger of Doom and Lee Sin, the Blind Monk in League of legends and an interesting bug.

Fiddlesticks’ Seckill

Bug information: trigger requirement: when enemies move to allies with movement skills, Fiddlesticks castings E to them will trigger the bug.

The bug has been fixed.

The bug appeared 1 year ago.



Bug effect: seckill target enemy and enemy’s target ally.


Lee Sin’s Combo

Bug information: trigger requirement: when Lee Sin casts his E, fast click it twice. The bug will be triggered.

The bug has been fixed.

The bug appeared 1 year ago.


Bug effect: cast E twice and deal damage twice.

League of Legends interesting Bug: Alistar Kills Dragon without taking any damage


Related explanation: after the change, Alistar‘s W can be cast to minions and creeps. And Alistar will knock enemy back and he will stand in enemy’s place. While Dragon is immune to control skills, casting W to Dragon will make Alistar and Dragon stand in the same place. Hence though Dragon is attacking Alistar, he cannot deal damage to him. And Alistar will die along with Dragon finally.

Lissandra, the Ice Witch is now on PBE


The new champion Lissandra, the Ice Witch is now on PBE, as the 2013 new AP champion. Let’s have a look together.


Abilities
Iceborn ( Passive )
Every 18 seconds Lissandra's next ability costs no mana. This cooldown is reduced by 1 second whenever Lissandra impairs an enemy's movement with an ability ( does not apply to movement-impairing effects from items )

Ice Shard ( Q )
Throws a spear of ice that shatters when it hits an enemy, dealing 75/110/145/180/215 ( +.65 AP) magic damage and slowing Movement Speed by 16/19/22/25/28% for 1.5 seconds. Shards then pass through the target dealing the same damage to other enemies hit.
Cooldown: 6/5.5/5/4.5/4 seconds  || Mana Cost: 85 mana at all ranks.

Ring of Frost ( W )
Deals  70/110/150/190/230 ( +.6 AP ) magic damage to nearby enemies and roots them for 1.1/1.2/1.3/1.4/1.5 seconds.Cooldown: 18/16/14/12/10 || Mana cost: 70 mana at all ranks.Glacial Path ( E )
Casts an ice claw thats deals 70/115/160/205/250 ( +.6 AP )magic damage to all enemies hit. Reactivating this ability transports Lissandra to the claw's current location.Cooldown: 24/21/18/15/12 seconds || Mana cost: 80/85/90/95/100 Mana

Frozen Tomb ( R )
On Enemy Cast: Freezes target champion solid, stunning it for 1.5 seconds
On Self Cast: Lissandra encases herself in dark ice for 1.5 seconds, becoming untargetable and invulnerable but unable to take any actions.
Dark Ice then emanates from the target dealing 150/300/450 ( +.7 AP ) magic damage to enemies. The ice lasts for 3 seconds and slows enemy movement speed by 20%
Cooldown: 130/105/80 seconds  || Mana cost: 100 at all ranks




Mid lane: Lissandra's mobility and crowd control skills make her an ideal choice for aggressive, roaming mid play. By shoving the lane with her AoE abilities, the Ice Witch can create the space she needs to make a move on top or bottom lane. The long range blink from Glacial Path lets her get the drop on enemies from unexpected angles by jumping terrain or by circumventing typical ward locations. Once the ambush has been sprung, Lissandra's potent combination of slows, roots and stuns allows her to stick to an opponent and close out the kill.

Top lane: Lissandra's passive allows her to be much less dependent on blue buff compared to many of her AP counterparts, making her an excellent, self-sufficient choice for top lane. Despite her low base durability, the long range blink on Glacial Path helps Lissandra stay safe by pulling off daring escapes. If she's caught in a gank, Lissandra can freeze her would-be killers in place with Ring of Frost before disappearing over terrain with a well-placed Glacial Path. The area of effect damage on Ice Shard also allows Lissandra to guard turrets even when pressured, or press the lane in an attempt to lure enemy junglers into a counter-gank. When an opponent takes the bait, Lissandra can cast Frozen Tomb on herself, ensuring her own survival as she uses her other abilities to set up kills.

Team fights: Lissandra isn't the type of mage who immediately blows up high-value targets, but instead has the potential to lay down impressive amounts of damage and crowd control on grouped up opponents. The AoE aspect to Ice Shard keeps enemies pinned down through repeated area damage and slow effects while she waits for the opportune moment to unleash her full combo. Once she sees an opening, Lissandra can use Glacial Path to close in and lock down a high-value target with Frozen Tomb. If the opposing team starts to focus her, Lissandra can instead use Frozen Tomb on herself, juking the initial burst before escaping with Ring of Frost. If you're looking for a mage who favors crowd control, mobility and kiting over raw burst damage, Lissandra is sure to make a welcome addition to your lineup.


Story



Lissandra’s magic twists the pure power of ice into something dark and terrible. With the force of her black ice, she does more than freeze – she impales and crushes those who oppose her. To the terrified denizens of the north, she is known only as “The Ice Witch.” The truth is much more sinister: Lissandra is a corruptor of nature who plots to unleash an ice age on the world.
Centuries ago, Lissandra betrayed her tribe to evil creatures, known as the Frozen Watchers, in return for power. That was the last day that warm blood ran through her veins. With her corrupted tribesmen and the strength of the Watchers, she swept across the land like a terrible blizzard. As her empire spread, the world grew colder and ice choked the land. When the Watchers were defeated by ancient heroes, Lissandra did not lose faith and swore to prepare the world for their return.

Lissandra worked to purge all knowledge of the Watchers from the world. Using magic to take human form, she masqueraded as numerous seers and elders. Over the course of generations, she rewrote the stories of the Freljord, and so the history of its people changed. Today the fragmented retellings of the Watchers are seen as children’s tales. But this deception wasn’t enough – Lissandra also needed an army.
She set her sights on the noble Frostguard tribe. Lissandra knew corrupting the Frostguard would take centuries, and so she launched her greatest deception. She murdered and stole the identity of the Frostguard leader. Then she slowly began to warp the tribe’s proud traditions. When her human form grew old, she faked her own death and then murdered her successor to steal her identity. With each generation, the Frostguard grew more insular, cruel and twisted. Today, the world still sees them as a noble and peaceful tribe that guards against evil creatures like the Ice Witch. In truth, they now serve the witch and long for the glorious return of the Watchers.
Lissandra knows that on that day nations will fall and the world will be reborn in ice.
“Close your eyes and let the cold take you.” - Lissandra

League of Legends Patch 3.5 Analysis


The latest patch 3.5 (not 3.05) includes massive updates as it’s updated from patch 3.04 to 3.5 directly. In fact, I played the game after the update, there’re huge updates in every aspect, including remake of Karma, substantial change of Udyr and matchmaking. Now I will analyze the update in detail.

Please click here to view the patch notes.

The first change I am interested in is the remake of Karma. The remake changed the place of Karma in players’ heart. Though Karma is still a support currently, she can now solo top lane and mid lane well. After the remake, Karma is more playable with a slow down skill and a freeze skill. Though Karma can only heal herself now and can only cast shield to her allies, she is pretty strong.

I will bring you some Karma videos after the remake. Please wait.


About Akali: over all, I think it’s a nerf. Previously, Akali revealed 1 second after she left the Shroud Zone. It’s enough for her to escape by casting Flash. And now she is immediately revealed upon leaving the Shroud zone. That nerfs Akali’s survivability indirectly. I think the number of players who play Akali will decrease.

About Ashe: Now displays the Critical Strike chance bonus on the buff bar. Though it’s a small change, you can now know when to cast Critical Strike more visually. It is a small buff.

About Draven: Axe drop location will no longer be placed partially inside walls / terrain and now leads Draven more accurately when he is benefiting from Movement Speed increases. It’s a bug fix.

About Rumble: Increase damage and ability power bonus of Q. It’s not a small buff. Rumble will be strong for a while in this patch. It seems that Riot is ready to buff some old champions.

About Udyr’s substantial change: Udyr seems to be nerfed in this patch while actually he’s buffed a lot. The most obvious one is mana cost of all stances is decreased a lot. In the last patch, Udyr’s jungle speed was fast. Mana cost reduction makes him no longer rely on blue buff so that he can give the blue buff to other heroes. Thus the whole team can get benefit.

I will also bring you the videos of Udyr later. Please wait.


Next are changes of some items and champions. One important change in my mind is Warwick. The change makes allies know which one is Warwick’s target and which one is chased by Warwick.

And here are two important changes: one is the change of matchmaking. I think this change is of special meaning. In the matchmaking of last patch, we were often terminated from the game and could do nothing about it. In this patch, the matchmaking mechanism is changed. A player who fails to select a champion is given a queue dodge penalty. The dodge penalty functions exactly the same as if the player closed their PVP.net client. Custom games still assign a random champion if one is not selected.

Another one is the change of turrets: damage that turrets deal to champions is increased. Siege Minions and Super Minions now take 70% damage from Turrets, increased from 50% damage. Siege Minions now deal more damage to turrets. Riot is increasing the tempo advancing to the late game and reducing the time of each round of the game. In all, those who need time to develop are affected only, such as Nasus.

Finally, hope you will enjoy the new patch of the game!
