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

And just like in traditional League, all of these skins range in price point depending upon how involved they are. Champion skins always range in what they can do, whether it be special animations, voice lines, or other extras - and that determines how much money you'll have to pay to acquire some of these goodies. However, what's cooler about skins in Wild Rift is Riot's brand new 3D model viewer, where you can check out how some of these skins look with close-

In the current DOTA 2 meta, Mars is typically considered the most powerful offlaner. His aggressive abilities make him a scourge on the battlefield and it would be folly to fight him solo or one-on-one. In addition to having a low-cooldown offensive skill, he also has numerous chances of knocking back enem

Yes, players can choose to queue up for a specific role. But even then, not all support heroes fit in well with their team or counter the opposing team the same way. It's important to diversify selections that are in the comfort z

That's why doubling and tripling the number of creeps that it is possible to kill is so critical. Instead of going through and killing each set, by attacking one member and running away right before the timer spawns another group, the creeps will stack, increasing all that gold and experie

Turtle Rock Studios' spiritual successor to Left 4 Dead has been delayed for five months. Back 4 Blood was originally scheduled to release on July 18, but Turtle Rock announced on Twitter this week that the game won't be coming until October 12, 2

Then there's the issue of how you spend your time in each match. Since those matches are shorter, seconds in Wild Rift are more precious than ever. Pre-made item sets have been a feature in the PC version of League for years, but you'll definitely want to embrace them in Wild Rift if you aren't already in the habit. There's not enough time for you to sit at the shop, sorting and searching for what Hanzo Item Build you want to equip to your champion n

5v5 clashes in a certain lane or while ambushing Roshan farmers can be exhausting but that doesn't mean some rest is warranted. In many beginner and low-MMR games, the winning side tends to sit back passively and scatter or go about their business even after some impressive clash victories instead of pushing one lane and clearing the towers for some creep upgra

Valve also finally addressed the smurfing problem in Dota 2 by officially making it a bannable offense . Players who are found to be selling accounts or boosting ranks can have their main accounts banned as well. Suspected smurf accounts will also be paired with other smurf accounts in order to stop them from ruining the experience of newer players. While Valve has previously attempted to mitigate this issue by detecting smurf accounts and adjusting to their correct rank, there were still issues where players would smurf with the sole intention of beating lower skilled players. With Valve finally putting its foot down on smurfing, this should mean that newcomers will be able to play against other players of their skill le

If you're a League of Legends player, you're probably all too familiar with skins - and they aren't absent in Wild Rift. Riot is working to render some of your favorite looks in Wild Rift, but in a higher degree of quality. The team shared that they'll be working to really push the boundaries on what a mobile title can look like, and they hope that's reflected in the models for Wild R

Two reports came out earlier this week that provided some updates about the next Call of Duty game. The game, called Call of Duty: Vanguard, is being developed by Sledgehammer Games, though reports conflict about what exactly the game

Speaking of those items, active abilities on your equipment may look a little different - but don't panic. Actives haven't gone anywhere, you just acquire them now through boot enchantments. Buying boots is almost always priority in League, and that doesn't change here. Except now, when you pick up your Ninja Tabi or Mercury's Treads, you can enchant them with just about any active like invulnerability buffs, shields, dashes, or movement speed increa

Sticking to one type of hero in DOTA 2 doesn't exactly do your teammates any favor. Being a one-trick-pony means you're not the most flexible team player around. Still, focusing on a certain hero category is a good way to familiarize yourself with DOTA 2's mechanics and one of the most forgiving kinds of heroes in DOTA 2 is of the Strength-t

That's why consumables like the Town Portal Scroll are valuable early on and even late or mid-game. If you're in a lane, you'd want to stay there as much as possible. If not TP Scrolls then healing items are also a godsend when it comes to sticking to your lane. Your teammates will thank you for this kind of preparedn
