Each change has caused a lot of frustration with players, sometimes resulting in key players permanently leaving the competitive scene. Qualifying is a long and arduous process, often involving the final days of a month spent playing for most of the day simply to retain a top spot - rewarding a grind more information than actual skill. In addition, there is no official tournament client of the game. A disconnect between two opponents results in a match being replayed regardless of how far ahead one player was,, which has led to some controversial outcomes. There's also the fact that in the past few years, Blizzard has leaned hard into design philosophy centered more around RNG and less around skill, driving some pro players away from the game entirely - as seen when Lifecoach left the competitive sc
Part of the original lore of the game dealt with how certain champions were bound to the league. Essentially, their power was held by the league. This allowed them to remain bound, such as Nocturne, and allowed their powers to scale back and forth between battles universa
The second original live-action series produced for DC Universe, Doom Patrol has been highly anticipated since the team first appeared in an episode of Titans . Based on the classic comic series about " The World's Strangest Heroes, " the new series does take some liberties with the comics by including Teen Titans mainstay Cyborg as part of their line-up. Still, with the promise of weirder characters like Danny The Street also being brought to life, this is one to keep an eye
Some good starting heroes are Axe, Tiny, and Tusk. Axe belongs to the Brawny faction which means HP bonuses and the Warrior faction which grants increased armor. Tusk is a Warrior as well and also belongs to Savage which grants increased attack damage. Tiny is also a Warrior and belongs to Primordials which have a chance of disarming opponents. Find a good starter tank that feeds into later synergies and you’re good to
Blizzard, rather than come to a compromise to benefit all parties, chose instead to abandon KeSPA and partner with Global StarCraft League (GSL) . The decision was catastrophic from the start, as KeSPA prohibited its member teams from participating in any StarCraft II competitions. The best talent in the world was effectively prevented from playing in any tourname
The global esports industry has seen its activity, popularity, and revenue steadily grow in the past years, with a projected revenue stream in 2019 of $1.1 Billion . Despite some developing some of the most popular esports games - Overwatch and Starcraft among them - Blizzard seems to stumble time and time again when creating a meaningful esports division of its
Outliving your opponents means your squad needs to survive at the very at least until top ten, or half the other squads have been eliminated. If you make it to ten squads remaining, you will receive 2 RP, make it to final five for 4 RP, and survive until top three for 7 RP. Farming top ten and top five finishes may seem like an attractive and easy method to rise through the ranks, but isn't engaging the enemy so much for fun that stealthing your way to the finish? Get out there and fi
Arrow season 7 opened with Oliver Queen in prison as a result of a plea bargain to buy immunity for his fellow vigilantes. Unfortunately, Star City went to hell in a hand-basket without its heroes, leaving a new Green Arrow ( who is apparently Oliver Queen's half-sister ) to pick up the slack. Thankfully, Oliver was freed from prison and hired on by the SCPD as a consultant so he could continue saving his city without violating the new anti-vigilante laws, though it remains to be seen if an accord can be reached between the new Green Arrow and the old
The inconsistency of the esports scene has resulted in some players leaving over the long-term. Disguised Toast, a popular Hearthstone streamer, recently returned a card reveal to Blizzard, stating that it felt disingenuous revealing an upcoming new card when he has issues with the state of the game as it sta
Finally, a win is worth a whopping 12 points. Remember that the top 10/5/3 finishes do not stack, so the maximum you can possibly earn in a single match is 17 RP (12 RP for winning the match and 5 RP for your first 5 kills). If you get three kills and finish in the top three you will earn 10 RP. If you can do this consistently, then you've got a decent shot at making it to Apex Preda
In its original version, the story of League of Legends featured a roster of champions who each represented one of the various city-states inside the game world, Runeterra. The league was set up and managed by the Institute of War to settle power disputes and maintain peace on the continent of Valoran. Each champion had their own reason for coming to the league and would serve the summoner to settle dispu
Shazam! stars Zachary Levi as the grown-up superhero Shazam and Mark Strong as Dr. Thaddeus Sivana - Shazam's arch-enemy in the comics. The villain's origin is reportedly being changed for the movie, however, with Dr. Sivana now being one who was denied the power of Shazam because of his dark heart rather than a mad scientist determined to prove the superiority of his science over Shazam's ma
