Champion Impressions – Thresh, the Chain Warden

I never was a big fan of healbots. I don’t mind supporting, but… There’s a reason that Support Nautilus is kinda my thing. So you can imagine how psyched I was when they announced this guy. Thresh is, without a … Continue reading

First Impressions – Age of Wushu (Closed Beta 2)

Champion Impressions – Darius, the Hand of Noxus

Finally, we get another Noxian! It’s about time, now give me Keiran (despite the fact that he’s been killed) and we’ll be cool. Or Kassadin’s daughter, either works.
