Blizzard's hectic hero-based shooter saw quite an overhaul in the form of its revamped sequel — and this extends to the payment model. Overwatch 2 is now entirely free-to-play, though the studio has put more focus on purchasable add-ons through a premium battle pass and in-game curre

Last Saturday, OG revealed that the carry god himself, Anathan "Ana," Pham would be taking an extended break and coming back next season. OG stated that Ana would be returning for the Dota Pro Circuit season of 2020-2021 to play as OG's front line carry posit

The Emperor of the Sands has not received a skin in over three years, which is strange seeing as his Galactic, Warring Kingdoms, and Gravelord skins each have impressive effects and visuals. An Ultimate skin would work because any changes done to his appearance throughout the Bethesda game Releases can be added to the soldiers he summons, who have their own sand effects, and if Riot gives him the Elementalist treatment, there could be a variety of stunning effe

So long as Pokémon Unite has a large enough roster at launch, this shouldn’t be too likely depending on how rapidly they want to continue adding to it, and how well they compensate for new characters. If characters are purchased rather than free or earned through gameplay, having fast expansion could be just as much a financial concern for players

JerAx said to OG, " I have no willingness nor passion to play Dota 2 anymore, and I have trouble fitting myself into my competitor’s shoes." Which means just like Ana, JerAx also continues to face the underlying problem that is having to face the same challenge you've already completed. By the look of things, the issue isn't that they don't have the skills to play, it's that they don't have passion. It's unknown if whether the rest of OG's Dota 2 team feels the same, but if they do, this could mean the end for OG's competitive reign in Dota

At around 30%, Blitzcrank fits similarly to Leona, but with a much more unique and atypical style of crowd control. While Leona marches into the enemy, Blitzcrank’s pull and uppercut combo can immediately pull enemies into a team fight, and if he hits the right target, the fight could be over in an inst

Xerath is also a ranged mage who has four skill shots, and based on the quality of the effects of his Guardian of the Sands and Darkstar skins, he is a perfect candidate for another Elementalist skin, or at the very least a similar skin that requires him to actually land his abilit

In recent years, the distinct and thrilling Battle Royale genre has dominated the free-to-play market . This is due to studios releasing these elimination showdowns for free to support their growing community. It's what keeps 100-man matches possible; a format necessary for Battle Royales to be playable. However, the free-to-play industry is also saturated with many other genres such as FPS, co-op, looter-shooter, open-world, and so much m

Entering his tenth split with CLG, Stixxay has had the opportunity to play with a wide variety of teammates. From being the young rookie playing next to the veteran Zaqueri "aphromoo" Black , Stixxay has since transformed into the old-timer himself. Now at the age of 23, he's able to share his wisdom with the team's newcom

In the past, Ana has had problems trying to find himself. He's gone through thick and thin to find the passion of playing Dota 2 after winning the International 2018 and has pushed himself over his mental limits. It was because of his strive to be the player OG needed that he shined at the next big tournament, which was the International 2019. Although JerAx never expressed the same issues during both Internationals, his interview with OG has filled out the blanks of his retirem

Pokémon Unite has another challenge in the form of its platforms, being the Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. With fast-paced multiplayer action games, these platforms can struggle with too many confusing and conflicting mechanics, so it's important to ensure characters and their moves are easy to cont

With the dominant team gone, teams are going to have to worry less. What made OG strong was their unpredictability. Other teams have calm and collected players. Some have good social connections and positive environments. And some even have insane co-ordinated teamwork, but rarely do we see teams that blow away everyone time after time. OG had a thing for making the impossible possible and that was unique on its own, so with that gone, professional Dota 2 will frankly be more of a boresome eSport to watch. Watch the team's race to get the hero or farm until they get their item build, repeat for every ma

Consistency is important in a game, and while these changes are small enough not to notice, it could be problematic for Pokémon Unite to have characters rebalanced or reworked way too fast early on. If the game wants to change its poorer qualities, it needs to start on a good foot so that major reworks aren't urg
