Some have suggested that instead of matchmaking based on skill, lower-skilled players should grind harder and play better in order to compete with top players. First of all, not everyone has 3,000 hours a year to put into a video game. But more importantly, I'm not really sure how a person can improve when they're getting clobbered every game. After a certain point, it probably wouldn't matter anyway because the player would eventually find a different game that's more fun for t
Mineru is the fifth and final Sage in the game that is hidden until the very end. Only after completing Regional Phenomena and exploring Hyrule Castle will players be able to unlock the path that leads to this S
Truly random matchmaking allows so-called "pub stompers" to cannibalize less-skilled players. And, as annoying as it is for top players to constantly have to square off against other sweaty players when they're just trying to have fun with friends, it's also demoralizing for lower-skilled players to have to face off against pros and keep getting beaten over and over ag
With the Charge Rifle splashing onto the scene in all of its fiery, imbalanced glory, giving the Wingman and Longbow back their signature golden hop-up might even help restore some balance and variety to long-ranged com
Ziplines are always tricky, despite allowing you to traverse great distances. Most importantly, it is very difficult to aim while riding a zipline, and you’re perfectly lined up for the enemy. Additionally, the entire zipline wobbles. This further signals players who might not even notice you at first. So, there will frequently be occasions to turn around and hop, in order to go backwards. This method can be spammed while moving forward. This is useful to be preventive, but especially when you’re under fire. Jump, catch onto the zipline again, and swiftly repeat. But once you near the end of the zipline, quit, because it will automatically reverse your direction instead of continuing forw
Portal 2 is completely playable cooperatively and players will take control of ATLAS and P-Body. The two robots are designed from scraps. ATLAS was designed from a personality core while P-Body was created using a sentry turret. These scraps give these robots unique designs and personalities that are constantly poking through in Portal
It's reasonable to imagine those 10 players spend much more time playing Apex Legends than others. To give you an idea of how this might shape out, it's worth noting that out of my 100 Xbox friends who play Apex Legends the most, one has played more than 3,050 hours. He's the game's overall 20th ranked player based on player level ( as calculated prior to the changes made in the game's most recent update ), according to TRN's Apex Legends new Legend Legends Tracker . The friend with the second-most time in the game is also a strong player but has logged only 1700 ho
But as of yet, any permanent additions to Apex's selection of game modes continue to elude implementation, beyond the Ranked Leagues introduced during season two. Needless to say, there are quite a few fans that would be overjoyed to see either solos or duos make the ros
Although Lifeline heals more quickly, including downed teammates, her shield is a beacon to the enemy. It signals a squad to push on you, because two-thirds of your team is occupied. However, these characteristics can be used to your advantage in a pinch. Firstly, you can use the whirring sound of D.O.C. as bait to suggest that you need healing when you don’t. The same goes for Lifeline’s shield, luring the enemy to attack, when you’re actually ready to defend. But trickiest of all, you can use Lifeline’s shield as a literal shield in close-quarters combat. Begin to revive a teammate just while the enemy is shooting, then release and fire back. Repeat as necessary, and it might just save you. These tactics are especially handy when both teammates are d
Link has to get pretty strong before even thinking about taking on one of these foes. Even after getting good weapons and armor, players must be wary of taking on these foes, since a single misstep can cause Link to be obliterated in no t
Unless you’re sporting some gold, healing can easily get you killed. And even if you eliminate an entire squad, you are always vulnerable to a Third Party. They will be looking to take advantage of your weakened health after hearing all the gunfire. True, many have learned that looting an eliminated enemy will offer up a full Body Shield. However, this can also be crucial in the middle of a firefight. If you’re out of Shield Cells or Batteries, you can finish off a knocked opponent for their armor. More likely, it can also genuinely be worth it to swap for lesser armor sitting nearby, just to survive in a pinch. Particularly if your teammates are down, leaving you without cover or t
Based on my Xbox data, it appears the top one percent of players still put in almost double the time of even those in the 98th percentile. Theoretically, the 98th percentile has spent half as much time in the game and would therefore still not be quite as good as the top one perc
