Hyperactive and impulsive criminal Jinx loves to wreak havoc wherever she goes, and she packs a dangerous arsenal coming to _ Wild Rift _ . As a marksman, Jinx possesses two basic attacks, a devastating projectile ultimate, and a trap to disorient enemies. Due to her high-damage nature, Jinx works best in the Dragon L
This pales, of course, in comparison to these new allegations. The amount of detail that has gone into this meticulous recreation of Stephanie’s photos, faces, hair, hobbies, and personality is frankly sick. It’s the kind of behavior movies like Chasing Amy show as an irrevocably creepy and bad thing to do to somebody, only with millions of more dollars at stake. What Riot has essentially done here is been complicit in the strange, obsessive behavior of a woman’s ex so they could profit directly from
Some of the best trailers are of comical and whimsical nature, and the Bugsnax announcement trailer took the internet by storm when it dropped. The premise of the game is explained very quickly, and it just seems too wonky to even be true. Bugs are made up of food, said bugs can be eaten, and those who eat the Bugsnax bugs start to transform into the food itself. All of this is shown with a few hotdog jokes and funny remarks, but more importantly, the theme song that plays over the trailer is extremely catchy. If there is a reward for most unique trailer of the year, Bugsnax likely runs away with
Meanwhile, her crowd control comes with her other skills. Light Binding (S1) allows her to throw a sphere that binds up to two enemies. Additionally, her Lucent Singularity (S3) slows nearby enemies in an area that she can also detonate for damage. Lastly, her Final Spark (Ult) unleashes a harsh light beam that refreshes her Pass
Shen is the jack of all trades pick that can outduel most opponents in a 1v1, due to high base damage and his ability Spirit’s Refuge. He also provides map presence with his ultimate, while pushing exquisitely due to his ability to show up in skirmishes at the drop of a hat. With the addition of new tank items , his power has increased tenf
Other than that, Ornn breathes fire and charges at enemies, but he can also summon a giant elemental ram that he can slam into opponents to knock them up. Given his bulky frame, Ornn would look great in a Mech-themed skin, and bwipo his fiery abilities would work well with the machine aesthe
By doing away with the character entirely, Riot could come down on the right side of this. Instead of sticking their fingers in their ears and pretending there isn’t a problem, this is an opportunity for the company to show it actually cares about its players. It’s an opportunity for them to forgo a few million on top of their billions, and to actually help soothe harm done to a real person. It’s also an opportunity for them to retire their abhorrent marketing strategy for Seraphine, which would do a lot to garner goodwill and help win back people they might have alienated. Sure, it’s the path of least profit, meaning that they likely won’t do any of this. However, from the perspective of moral imperative, it’s the only right course of action to t
Second, this isn’t the first time Seraphine has been allegedly inspired by a real person. Jeevun Sidhu, a senior designer at Riot, tweeted out that the character is actually based on his partner – something that Stephanie has acknowledged . When that story went around, though, Riot didn’t issue some weak tea statement about the character not being based on anybody. It was only when they were called out by very compelling evidence that they said literally anything about it, likely in fear over another Edgar Davids situati
I say this because not only did Riot put the character in the game, but they’ve since brushed off Stephanie’s claims as mere coincidence. They’ve denied that Seraphine is based on anyone , in fact, in a statement given to PC Ga
With League of Legends Wild Rift , Riot Games finally took their acclaimed League of Legends IP and gave it a mobile makeover. This mobile counterpart really put in the effort when it came to translating the complexity of PC League ‘s systems into a more bearable portable format. Only around 40 of its 140+ Champions made it to Wild Rift , at least as of this writing. Still, choosing from 40 Champions might feel overwhelming for newcom
Of course, this is far from the only problem with Seraphine. The character came under fire last month, when her lore made her an active beneficiary of in-world genocide . That was only a small part of the outrage, however, as the real focus was on Seraphine’s disturbing Twitter account . The branded account tweeted like it had feelings, trying to play up the character’s interpersonal struggles and lack of self-confidence like a cutesy marketing point. It was pretty gross, to say the very least, and hit a sour note during a time when everyone is suffering through a global pande
