Killstreaks no longer award 30-> 100 but instead 20->90. Along with the gold nerf of 7.26, this should further work to slow down early game level differences between teams following a few unfavorable scraps and will place more emphasis on the mid and endgame. Valve is also literally slowing down movement for some characters by moving away from percentage-based movement speed bonuses to flat number increases. For example, Boots of Speed, Power Treads, and Arcane Boots used to all say +15%, and now instead say

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

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

 
In general, players' regular builds will still work just fine in Nexus Blitz as it is easy to acquire gold. You still receive gold for last hitting minions , but you also receive a small amount of gold for just being near a minion when it dies. Plus, when the fighting starts you will be rolling in the gold from kills and assists. In terms of strong builds, A lot of players are picking AP carries and focusing on building a lot of AP and Cooldown reduction since a few of the events are just straight-up brawls where you will need to deal as much damage as quickly as possible. Although games generally last 15 - 20 minutes because of how quickly you accumulate gold, it is more than possible to six-slot your Champion due to all the gold coming in. Another reason why games only last 15 - 20 minutes is that the [[https://Mobagamezone.com/|MOBA game tournaments]] will enter a sudden death mode where your Nexus will literally begin walking towards the other and vice versa. The shortness of the game mode is definitely part of the reason it was so highly requested. Nexus Blitz is a great way to take a short break from ranked while still practicing your team coordination and fighting with fun eve
 
As discussed earlier, Leona is best played as an aggressive support that takes advantage of enemies that are alone or have stepped up too close to the minion wave. As a support, she is best played bottom lane with a preferably ranged ADC that is willing to combo with Leona when she dives aggressively. In lane, you're going to want to harass the enemy ADC with Zenith Blade whenever they are alone or trying to last hit a minion . If you don't have wards and an enemy is missing, hide in the brush beside the river to provide vision for your ADC and then punish any enemy junglers that are come to tank. Leona has a ton of wave clear with Eclipse and Zenith Blade, so it is okay to be aggressive and push lane to the enemy tower. This kind of play will also synergize well with Demolish as you can do a lot of damage to the enemy towers early on. Clearing and pushing the wave also provides Leona with the opportunity to leave the lane and help out middle or top. Thanks to her Boots of Mobility, she can rotate to other lanes and easily engage the enemy from the brush. In the middle to late-game, Leona will excel at tanking damage and providing crowd control. Use her abilities to get right into the middle of the fight and draw attention away from your team. Then, use her Shield of Daybreak or Solar Flare to deal damage while immobilizing the enemy ADC. If Leona is in the absolute thick of it, use Eclipse and Gargoyle Stoneplate to tank the enemy team's damage output and let your team clean them
