When you can afford it, build your Phage into a Black Cleaver. This will be Garen's ideal first essential item because of the extra health and cooldown reduction it provides. For your selection of proper boots, go with either Mercury's Treads or the Ninja Tabi. If the enemy team has a lot of crowd control abilities that can slow Garen down, the Tenacity from both Mercury's Treads and Courage will greatly lessen those effects. If the enemy team relies on dealing damage with basic attacks, go with the Ninja Tabi to block an additional 12% damage. You can also build the Kindlegem into a Spirit Visage which will really beef up Garen and also increase his overall healing. Next, consider purchasing a Dead Man's Plate to have Garen tank up considerably. With Dead Man's Plate, Garen can gain movement speed and attack damage just by moving around and avoiding crowd controlling effects, which is easy to do thanks to Courage and Mercury Tre
Stixxay is aware of the negative sentiment surrounding his team, even if he's not in agreement with it. "I just don't think it's true," Stixxay said of the public's view. "I don’t think we’re a 10th place team, so last split was really disappointing for us. It just put a sour taste in everyone’s mouth... I think we had a really bad split and we worked a lot in the offseason to fix a lot of those thin
Role assignments are a little different compared to Summoner's Rift with 3 laners and 2 junglers compared to the 5 specialized roles in a normal League of Legends match. Additionally, Nexus Blitz only has 2 lanes so 1 player will always be going solo against an opponent. The jungle is split between the 2 lanes, with various camps filled by tougher monsters than those found on Summoner's Rift. The 2 junglers must work together to clear these camps, but will share increased EXP, gold, and buffs by doing

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
