There’s a reason why League of Legends is more popular than DOTA 2. DOTA 2 is a game of precision and mastery where mistakes get punished with a snowballing defeat and verbal expletives from your teammates (often the latter). The higher learning curve (and more elitist players) compared to other MOBAs make it rather intimidating especially for newb
Genshin Impact made a huge splash when it came out in the latter half of 2020. And despite not being out for that long, there have still been updates and in-game events for Genshin Impact , as well as plans and promises for much more content. The graphics, story, and characters have all received a lot of praise, as well as the addictive quality of leveling up and exploring in the g
Although there are many collectible card games in the world of mobile gaming, some of them rise above to stand out, and Legends of Runeterra is one of these. Riot Games incorporated a lot of lore into its game through hidden details in the art and flavor text, which are something the average player might miss but more devoted fans appreciate. A game that is enjoyable, has a competitive aspect, and also has a lot of lore and story to dive into are often what takes a good game up to the level of greatn
Veterans of MOBA Champion Guides games are already some of the most serious and competitive people on the planet. Veterans of Dota 2 are even a cut above that, as it’s one of the least forgiving and supportive environments to be in. Yet that doesn’t stop experts from taking their lumps and suffering on their journey to climb the ladder. Even players who are in the middle of the pack have to try their best just to stay th
Mario Kart DS was the most notorious for this. The only thing that made you stick out was that anyone who didn’t own the game had to play as a Shy Guy, but frankly this was easier to ignore than the modern-day equivalent, as we weren’t given the option to spend our pocket money on unlocking a different character. It was also less egregious than the Fortnite skin mode, because we were not being encouraged to sign in everyday, to make this game part of our very identity – we just played for
Some might even say that this method of lane control is more important than last-hitting especially if your hero is stronger early game than late game. Early in the game, this is what sets apart a good player from a bad player and it has some unpleasant domino effects for the en
So while Download Play was undoubtedly put in to encourage kids to try out games and then ask for their parents to buy them, it was still incredibly consumer friendly. You didn’t feel like your addictive tendencies were being preyed upon – you were just playing a bit of a video g
The Pathless is also playable on PS4, PS5, and PC, and the mobile version is currently an Apple Arcade exclusive. Lushly illustrated open worlds once again prove themselves to be a major mark of a well-loved video game with replay value. The PS5 version of The Pathless has been called one of the console’s best launch games, and the mobile version is also highly enjoya
Speaking of gold, one thing that actually hurts a player more than dying is getting their creep income denied. You can do this by last-hitting your own creeps who are about to die. Apart from denying them gold, you also deny them the experience given by your dead cre
You don’t have to second guess what the Almighty Dirge or Undying is capable of. The name says it all. He’s a true tank and while most tanks remain rather rigid or strong only in the early game, Dirge is a bit different since he’s also a formidable spellcas
Earth Spirit or Kaolin might be a bit fiddly for anyone who’s used to Strength heroes being mostly initiators or tanks, but in the right hands, he shines in the mid lane. Kaolin’s plethora of crowd control and disruption abilities make him a walking disaster for the enemy t
How exactly do you pull off those big plays and awesome ganks in DOTA 2 or other MOBA s? By communicating. Typing is too slow and not everyone has a mic or has enough social bravery to speak with their squeaky voice in-game so minimap pings and marks are pretty stand
Since DOTA 2 is a team game about killing heroes and destroying the enemy base, then it’s understandable for some beginners to feel excited about “pwning sum n00bz.” Some will even treat the game like a team deathmatch session from faster-paced competitive titles like Call of Du
Like the usual ranged-Strength-type hero, Snapfire might seem unfair and any opponent killed by her and Mortimer, her dragon toad might agree. Snapfire and Mortimer focus on providing large blankets of area damage while also keeping the pressure on enemy teams with area stun abilities. The fact that it’s a ranged hero is just a bonus but nevertheless makes her more evas
Sometimes you get to pull it off but most of the time, the tower ends up killing you. This is also a known tactic to bait eager players into being overconfident. It results in a rather embarrassing death that only serves to fuel the enemy’s gold depos
