For emerging victorious in an event, all members of the winning team are granted a temporary or permanent buff. Depending on the prize, it's either a small benefit or one that drastically tilts the Moba Game Tournaments in that team's fa

At around 30%, Blitzcrank fits similarly to Leona, but with a much more unique and atypical style of crowd control. While Leona marches into the enemy, Blitzcrank’s pull and uppercut combo can immediately pull enemies into a team fight, and if he hits the right target, the fight could be over in an inst

War Thunder is a WW2/Cold War-inspired MMO. Players choose from an overwhelmingly vast selection of 1700+ weaponized vehicles and engage in full-scale battles across large maps. 32 players compete in 16v16 formats to capture points across the battlefield. Battles of this magnitude require strategic planning and coordinat

Stixxay described the veteran's impact on the team, "When he came in, he would just point out very basic things like, ‘Guys we knew their jungler is right here, why are you dying?’ Stuff like that. Where nowadays, that’s obviously very straightforwa

Overall, Nexus Blitz is a fun game mode that is only out for a limited time so try it out and take a break from regular ranked Summoner's Rift. Just remember to use teamwork and win events so you can push objectives before your Nexus gets impatient and takes matters into its own ha

Bardle Royale is of course a pun on the extremely popular Battle Royale genre. In Nexus Blitz there are 3 different variations of Bardle Royale. The first variation is classic where a ring of fire encloses on an area of the map, the two teams must battle it out until only one team is left standing. The second variation is Paranoia, where both teams must still fight in the enclosing circle, but all players are nearsighted for the duration of the event. The last variation is Juggernaut. One random Champion on each team is selected to have extra health and be On Fire! for the duration of the event. These two players receive bonuses to attack speed, adaptive power, and mana regeneration but are more vulnerable to damage. In all three variations, teamwork is key, but in Juggernaut especially you will have to focus the enemy juggernaut as a team before you can pick off the r

Scuttle Racing: 2 Rift Scuttlers race down a track from top lane to the bottom lane. Champions with CC are extremely valuable in slowing down the enemy Scuttler, but the allied Scuttler is also coded as a champion so it can be buffed, sped up, or thrown across the finish line with some interacti

_Updated by Juliet Childers on September 8th, 2020: Regularly banned champions run the gamut from support characters to top lane bruisers and jungling ninjas. Even pro players insta-ban or insta-pick some of these champion

In Nexus Blitz you are able to pick a champion for yourself and one champion to ban the enemy team from picking. Good bans include those who do a lot of AOE damage such as Katarina and Miss Fortune. On the other hand, try to pick Champions that excel in AOE because you will be in team-fights almost constantly. A good choice for beginners may be Garen , who gets stronger with each fight. Each team also requires two junglers, but the laning/jungling phase is incredibly short so Champions are still best picked in regards to their fighting ability. The laning phase is short because of the map's design and also because of the mini-game events every few minutes. Unlike the classic three-lane map in Summoner's Rift, Nexus Blitz's map is horizontal and only has a middle and bot lane with the top dedicated to jungling. The map is also pretty tight which puts players in close proximity with the enemy. When most players are getting level 5 or 6, the countdown to the first mini-game will start and the game begins to devolve into constant team-fighting chaos. After this point, junglers leave the jungle and begin to help push middle lane since events occur frequently and often in the middle l

Loot Teemo and Loot Veigar are essentially the same events, but Veigar will use Dark Matter and Event Horizon to run away. The objective of both events is to damage and then eventually last-hit the Teemo or Veigar that has spawned randomly on the map. The winning team is the one that last-hits Teemo or Veigar so keep in mind the amount of damage you do is not important. Each hit on Teemo or Veigar grants that player gold, but that extra gold is not going to be as beneficial as winning the event and receiving the reward eff

Stixxay talked about some of what he learned from his past bot lane partners. Speaking of aphromoo, who was his first-ever support in the LCS, Stixxay praised him for being a "personable" leader. "If I was in distress or I felt like I didn’t know what was going on with the team, he was always the guy that I’d message late at night and be like, ‘Yo, can you help me work through this because I just don’t know what’s going
