In DOTA 2, each and every trip back to the fountain or base is a considerable help or hindrance to the pushing effort. That’s because the amount of time it takes to return to the fountain for healing should have been better spent farming some creeps or dealing attrition damage to towers or even clash
With The International 2020 being cancelled as well as the future of the tournament left uncertain, Valve decided to work with Netflix to create a new animated show titled Dota: Dragon’s Blood to hopefully attract new players to Dota 2. Together with the show, Valve also decided to release a massive update for Dota 2 that overhauled the new player experience. Introducing a number of diverse tools and resources, Valve hopes that new players are provided gradual learning opportunities instead of a single dump of complex informat
Players complete various tasks with Clubs within the Hogwarts houses , which adds a competitive aspect to the Candy Crush -inspired game. The addition of trophies also adds a collecting and achievement aspect to Puzzles and Spells , so it’s easy to see why this game appeals to many fans of puzzle games and of Harry Potter . Many casual gamers and demographics that don’t usually game will play puzzle games on their phones, especially when they’re linked to an appealing theme like t
No hero makes players want to pull the plug like an enemy Clinkz. This guy has been devastating heroes since back in the original Dota and nothing has changed. The upcoming documentary on Netflix might very well feature Clinkz as the story of the game really can’t be told without
This mobile release is a direct port of the platformer action RPG that released in 1997 for the PlayStation. The Castlevania setting and gameplay were monumental at the time of its console release, and continue to be influential today. Alucard, the dhampir son of Dracula, is an iconic vampiric figure in modern media, and getting to see and play as him again was a major nostalgic trip for many people. Not every console port brings the same magic that the original game did, but many people praised Castlevania: Symphony of the Night mobile for being just as fun as the 1997 PS1 vers
Taking on Slayer Jinx, a version of the champion that sees the loose cannon turned onto zombie hordes in a post-apocalyptic world, @madlencia’s cosplay oozes with dystopian color and chaotic charm. Splattered with paint and framed by neon smoke, this Jinx has channeled her proclivity for demolition into a zombie-slaying focused med
Sometimes you get to pull it off but most of the time, the tower ends up killing you. This is also a known tactic to bait eager players into being overconfident. It results in a rather embarrassing death that only serves to fuel the enemy’s gold depos
The release of Microsoft and Sony’s newest consoles and the incredible popularity of the Nintendo Switch (helped in part by the best-selling Animal Crossing: New Horizons ) made a huge impact on this year’s gaming scene. But, mobile gaming still plays a huge part in most people’s lives, especially as a huge portion of people who don’t play on console or PC will pick up their phones or tablets to game. Mobile games take up a huge share of the market, and some of those games were more influential than oth
There’s a reason why League of Legends is more popular than DOTA 2. DOTA 2 is a game of precision and mastery where mistakes get punished with a snowballing defeat and verbal expletives from your teammates (often the latter). The higher learning curve (and Hanzo item build more elitist players) compared to other MOBAs make it rather intimidating especially for newb
So you actually watched several DOTA 2 games and even have idols that you consistently try to copy even though you just began? Copying them is nice but doing that in a random low-MMR environment with your fellow beginners and expecting them to adjust to your “pro play” is not going to hap
On The Run soft-launched in select regions throughout Southeast Asia on April 22, 2020, and launched worldwide on Android and iOS on March 25, 2021. The game is free-to-play, though aggressive microtransactions have earned the game a bit of a sour reputation among critics and players. The game currently has a rating of 4.7/5 on the Google Play store with over 50,000 reviews, so it’s safe to say that many are thoroughly enjoying the g
Dressed in all the glamour of a magical girl uniform, with its stars and bright color palette, Jinx’s pose and lurid eyes suggest something far more chaotic lies just beneath the veneer of her appearance. The blurred line between magic and madness is further emphasized by the chaotic red that swirls in the background and seems to radiate from her h
