Burglar's Best Friend, on the other hand, will be the ability that truly saves the team in tight situations. There are tons of uses for creative players to deploy this ability in combat. Loba can throw her bracelet much higher than she can jump, so that makes the character perfect for acting as a sniper. Just use the ability to instantly climb a building and scope the surrounding area for enemies or other vantage points for the team. If rushed by another team, this ability is great for either avoiding fire or counterattacking. Players could throw their bracelet far away and hide somewhere, or even teleport to an advantageous spot behind or next to enemies. This makes for easy flanking or pinching maneuvers if coordinated with teamma

Quite frankly, I think it's disgusting that these publishers have the nerve to put Black Lives Matter banners on their games when most black people aren't allowed to play them without issues. To me, it's the modern-day equivalent of a "No Africans Allowed" sign. African gamers aren't asking for special treatment, We just want to be treated the same as everybody e

With a new season of Apex Legends _ comes another new character. Each time the game adds in a new legend it manages to shake _Apex Legends up in new ways as players must adjust their playstyle to new character abilities. Season Four, for example, brought the robotic assassin Revenant into the mix, who was capable of resurrecting fallen teammates and disable the abilities of enemy combata

Apex Legends does a good job as a free-to-play game at offering its players skins for both weapons and legends worth chasing after. You would think that Revenant would have darker-themed skins due to his murderous past, which he very much does. In addition to those though they also gave him 3 separate skins all inspired by the Egyptian god, Ra. It not only changes Revenant's coloring but gives him a bird-like head which is more akin to the depictions of Ra throughout Egyptian mythol

"You don't really focus on trying to get recognized. You really just focus on your craft and focus on growing your own platform and your own brand," he says. "I always tell people by the time a team is ready to pick you up, you don't necessarily need the team anymo

It's ridiculous that publishers don't realize the potential of African gamers. This untapped market could drastically increase their revenue and add to the already booming esports industry. African gamers relentlessly soldier on despite being shunned by publishers, and are at a constant disadvantage. If they had a level playing field, they could easily give other teams in the world a run for their mo

Most publishers deny Africa from having game servers but release statements condemning racism and promoting equality. It seems like black lives matter, but not enough to get the same services as the rest of the wo

Let's take Apex Legends as an example. EA released a statement saying, " We’re contributing $1 million to organizations dedicated to the fight for racial justice in the U.S. and against discrimination around the world." They go on to say, "Beginning with the Equal Justice Initiative, the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, and with more partners to come, we are deepening our support of organizations working to stop systemic racial injustice, fight discrimination and protect human rights in the U.S. and beyo

Like all Legends Loba has a tactical and passive ability as well as an ultimate that slowly charges. Her passive ability is constantly working to the player's advantage, whereas the tactical ability quickly recharges in between uses. The Ultimate Ability, on the other hand, will take longer to charge, and will most likely only be able to be used a few times per ma

Gaming isn't only about games. It's a social experience to connect people. This is even more true in the time of COVID-19. Playing online together is one of the few activities that separated families and friends can do together and is a way to bond. Right now, siblings are shooting each other from across the world in Fortnite , and friends are scoring against each other in FIFA . Sadly African players don't get to join the party. They must put up with terrible lag and non-stop connection issues if they want to play. Not only is this a frustrating experience for them, Respawn Entertainment but it kills the fun for their overseas teammates with a decent connect

The health of the scene is also contingent upon the creators who support it — many of whom are gunning for an opportunity to represent an organization like SoaR. But signing with an organization isn’t always as simple as being a strong player, though that certainly doesn’t hurt. Dazs points to iiTzTimmy as an exam

The tragic death of George Floyd has ignited a movement to end racism and promote inclusivity. Companies that previously sat on the fence have been forced to take action and prove they are progressive and are moving with the times. Over the last few weeks, there has been an unprecedented show of support for the black community, with most publishers releasing statements condemning racism and taking action to ensure inclusivity and equality. Many popular games even have "Black Lives Matter" banners to affirm this stance. Something these companies are conveniently forgetting is that ALL black lives matter, not just American black li
