DOTA2 's hero pool is full of counters and somewhat well-balanced Heroes of the Storm beginners. Each patch usually introduces pretty major changes to the game, but players are never tied to a certain meta. Because the game isn't just decided on meta heroes but micro-level plays, items, builds and such, you can successfully run almost any composit
While a challenge is always nice, a good game should be at least moderately accessible to new players. This is where League holds an advantage over DOTA2 , because how easy it is to get into it. There are less micro-mechanisms, and the gameplay is more simplif
Like Marvel, DC only has two films coming in 2020: Bird of Prey (and the Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) and Wonder Woman 1984 . 2021 will see Robert Pattinson become the next actor to bring the Caped Crusader to the big screen in Matt Reeves' The Batman . Also coming to theaters in 2021 from DC Films is Black Adam , with Dwayne Johnson as the titular hero, and James Gunn's The Suicide Squad sequel. DC's plans for 2022 include DC Super Pets and Aquaman
League might require a bit of grinding to unlock all the possible Champions and Runes needed, which can be frustrating. However, the good thing about the hero rotation which forces players to pick from a certain pool of heroes in the beginning is that you won't be overwhelmed right off the
As previously mentioned, Kleptomancy was changed recently to encourage more auto attacks, which suits Kennen perfectly. Since the goal is to grab as much gold as possible, you want to be spamming those auto attacks often. Sometimes, you will be given a consumable instead of gold, which can be any of the follow
This comes with the obvious caveat, so you need to keep up with your experience gathering, but that hardly needs to be said. Most Champions feel less impactful when they begin to fall behind the opposing side, and Kennen is no differ
Halloween is right around the corner, which means it's just about the time many games roll out a special spooky surprise. A number of the events have already begun, and more are on the way, so here's a handy round-up of all 2019's in-game Halloween events announced so
It’s unclear whether universal control over games that operate under the catch-all domain of esports will ever exist. Escalating conflict between streaming platforms that compete for viewer attention certainly isn’t helping the case for unified growth. It’s also worth questioning whether universal control is even needed. Larger titles seem to be doing just fine supporting their own leagues. A 16-year-old just took home $3 million at the first-ever _ Fortnite _ World Cup, after
Imagine an esports equivalent of ESPN. ESPN works because coverage of most traditional sports is basically the same. You point a camera at the field and watch what happens while two "experts" talk about what’s going on. Esports won’t and can’t work like this. Every game is drastically different from the next, with its own graphics, mechanics, and strategies to be emplo
Final Fantasy 14 kicked off its All Saints' Wake just a couple of days ago on October 17. To access All Saints' Wake, players must be at least level 15 and complete the "It's Probably Pirates" quest. From there, they can head to Old Gridania and speak to the Adventurers' Guild Investigator for more information. The event gives players a chance to earn plenty of in-game items, including the new Circus Ahriman mount and a few favorites from previous ye
However, the age-old rivalry between DOTA2 players and LoL addicts continues to plague the gaming community: which of these two games is ultimately better? While much of it is subjective, we're here to shed some light on five pros for each g
Besides this, item selection depends on how you wish to play Kennen. A full glass-cannon build is perfectly viable once you have enough experience and a team that you can depend on for peel. However, you also have your own ways of escape, so this is not always necess
Coverage is bad because esports are hard to watch, not the other way around. It all stems from an inability to produce universal coverage. Too much diversity or segmented viewership may not seem like an issue on the surface, but it is. Maybe you’re simply saying "well, no one is asking you to watch every esport," and that’s fair. Maybe communities are fine existing in their own worlds—far out of the reach of other gaming communities. But it does create a barrier for the industry to break into mainstream entertainm
Overwatch is going all out for its Halloween Terror event with new skins and in-game rewards, plus the return of Junkenstein's Revenge co-op mode. Every week, Junkenstein will offer new and spooky character-themed winner rewards: nine wins in each of the three weeks will yield icons, sprays, and skins for Junkrat, Baptiste, and Sombra, in that or
The meta has been shifting drastically lately, and Riot wasn't able to iron out all of the changes during the preseason. From removing the monstrosity that was Akali to bringing back crit ADC's, there are some massive changes in patch 9.4 that have definitely altered the meta. The good news is that it is a great time to be playing if you want the ability to carry the game and put the team on your back. There is a wide variety of champions who are currently very strong no matter what your preferred role. Whether you're looking to drag yourself out of the pits of Iron or maintain your high level, these are the strongest champions in each r
