Dota 2 is one of the world’s most popular esports with its annual world championship, The International, drawing millions of viewers and the biggest prize pool of any esport event. Over the years though, the number of new players in Dota 2 has stagnated due to its steep learning curve, poor matchmaking system, and the lack of an in-depth tutor
Kaolin’s abilities revolve around another of his abilities, Hanzo Gameplay called Stone Remnants. He can toy around with these remnants for damage bonuses or send them flying to the enemies for some devastating stun combos. Due to their increased amount of micromanagement, Kaolin’s learning curve is hig
The Pathless was published by Annapurna Interactive and developed by Giant Squid, the studio that developed the ocean exploration game ABZÛ. This game is the story of a character called the Hunter and their eagle companion who are travelling in an enormous forest. The Hunter is an archer on a quest to release the world from a curse of darkness, whose travels take them through an open world filled with variable biomes like tundras and fore
Indie gem If Found was nominated for the 2020 Game Awards’ category of Games for Impact, and was published by Annapurna Interactive. If Found is a slow-paced game about human connection, and tells the story of a girl named Kasio who moves home to western Ireland and interacts with her family and friends. There’s an extra layer of tension, though, with the threat of a possibly unstoppable black hole that could swallow the entire wo
While you do log in using your same Riot account, it sounds like monetary purchases between Wild Rift and League of Legends on PC won’t be shared between versions. In our session with Riot, the company mentioned that this task is actually much more difficult than it sounds. Everything in Wild Rift has been rebuilt from the ground up, and much of that content isn’t the same in both versions. However, Riot is looking to implement more League of Legends-based events where playing the PC version and spending money there unlocks goodies in its mobile counterp
Genshin Impact made a huge splash when it came out in the latter half of 2020. And despite not being out for that long, there have still been updates and in-game events for Genshin Impact , as well as plans and promises for much more content. The graphics, story, and characters have all received a lot of praise, as well as the addictive quality of leveling up and exploring in the g
He can function as a support as well and can buff his teammates which is incredibly useful for chasing fleeing enemies. Not that they need that buff anyway as Raijin himself can chase down the stragglers with his ultimate skill, killing them if he ever bumps into them at lightning sp
That’s why consumables like the Town Portal Scroll are valuable early on and even late or mid-game. If you’re in a lane, you’d want to stay there as much as possible. If not TP Scrolls then healing items are also a godsend when it comes to sticking to your lane. Your teammates will thank you for this kind of preparedn
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
The console and PC version of Civilization 6 released over four years ago, but the mobile port for Android came out late this year. Downloading the game for free allows the player to play 60 turns without any payment necessary, with the option to upgrade to the full version to continue the game. Other Civ 6 ports , such as the one on Nintendo Switch, were praised for how well they translated to different systems, and the mobile version also impressed a lot of play
Valve also finally addressed the smurfing problem in Dota 2 by officially making it a bannable offense . Players who are found to be selling accounts or boosting ranks can have their main accounts banned as well. Suspected smurf accounts will also be paired with other smurf accounts in order to stop them from ruining the experience of newer players. While Valve has previously attempted to mitigate this issue by detecting smurf accounts and adjusting to their correct rank, there were still issues where players would smurf with the sole intention of beating lower skilled players. With Valve finally putting its foot down on smurfing, this should mean that newcomers will be able to play against other players of their skill le
Usually, Intelligence heroes are ranged because their HP isn’t that high, and Strength heroes also don’t have that much mana so they’re usually in melee. Still, Void Spirit begs to differ as one of the few rare melee Intelligence heroes in DOT
