I looked back at the screen. 1-1. What is this?! How did they score? Why? What on Earth is going on?! Half-time came, and I was invited to rearrange my team. I didn’t know what to do — as already mentioned, the game’s stats are incredibly confusing, and I was still reeling from having conceded a goal. I changed the team’s play style to ‘aggressive’, and started the second h
Next on the list of champions with a „carry everyone else complex“ is Zed. While being mechanically challenging, his overall strategy is pretty simple. He picks a single target, goes all in to kill them, and then blinks back to where it all started. I think this mix is what makes having a Zed on your team so frustrating. Most Zed’s you will play with think that because they can understand the strategy, they are skilled enough to follow up with the mechanics. This is rarely the case, which leads to many Zed players falling behind over the course of the game. This only exasperates the problem, because as they become relatively weaker to enemies and less able to play their assassin role, they will fail more often in their attempts to carry everyone else. It is still a team game and even the assassin characters have to learn to coordinate with their teamma
So, are we ever getting a Justice League TV series? No one can say for sure, but with the success of Arrow and The Flash and the universe they’ve spent years building (even if you don’t love every element), it’s not something to be written off as a pipe dream. We’ve seen things in recent times that have never before been attempted: spin-offs of spin-offs, massive TV universes and animated web series whose characters have made the leap into live-action. Barry Allen recently jumped into not just an alternate universe, but a completely different network , with the door left open for Supergirl to reverse the f
The queen of the „carry everyone else“ complex, Riven. With countless 1 vs 5 montages on YouTube, Riven spits on the concept of team games. While she remains unbalanced (why she has the only shield in the game that scales with attack damage is a mystery to everyone), she does still require a mechanical mastery and quick reflexes. That fact is probably what makes her so detrimental to League of Legends as an overall game. Many pro-players and streamers have mastered those mechanics and pull off amazing individual feats. This means that there are exponentially more players, after having watched the pros, who believe they are just as capable to replicate it. The Moba Game Advanced Tactics already has a toxic community from players’ inability to get along. You throw in an outlet for selfish players and the problem is only made wo
Tetris was actually a pack-in with the original Game Boy, which is what contributed to its insane popularity and monumental sales, and the game a ‚DX‘ variant for the Game Boy Color which only further enhanced its popularity. The game proved to be the perfect pickup-and-play puzzler and its addictive mechanics are still intact even after all this t
No list of Blizzard cinematics would be complete without mention of the original World of Warcraft reveal trailer. In many ways, this is the trailer that kicked off the modern era of Blizzard gaming. The reveal trailer takes players back to Azeroth after Warcraft 3 and offers a brand-new perspective on the Warcraft setting. Aside from Trolls, just about every race and class get some love in this trai
On July 31, 1989 the North American gaming industry changed forever. This day in history marks the debut of Nintendo’s Game Boy , a portable gaming device that would go on to revolutionize gaming and tap an entirely new market. Unsurprisingly, being able to take your game on the go was incredibly well-recieved by the masses and the handheld has secured its place as an iconic device amongst gamers and casual consumers al
Viewed by many to be the best portable iteration of The Legend of Zelda series, Link’s Awakening was a true-to-form sequel that brought various elements from the home console iteration to a portable gaming device. Gamers the world over clamored for the game when it hit store shelves and it was unanimously well-received by critics upon it’s arri
Shaco is, by far, the most annoying champion in all of League of Legends . He can go invisible and jump a distance with the same move. He can throw daggers that slow you. He does more damage to you when your back is turned to him. He places invisible jack-in-the-box traps that fear your character, laugh and damage you. His ultimate ability creates a clone that he can independently control. All the while, he constantly laughs as he executes his abilities. Again, like Teemo, he doesn’t synergize well with other champions on his team. His main contribution is that he can tilt the opposing team and throw them off their rhythm, but if they keep their composure, he becomes a non-factor in the late-game. Just pray to never face him in Ultra Rapid Fire, where his annoyance is on negligible coold
