Not only did Season 5 bring with it a host of new changes, but it also introduced the new legend named Loba. She has a long history with Revenant, as she was the daughter of the man who Revenant killed in his introduction to the g

The lack of servers creates a vicious cycle. Publishers don't have African servers because they think there aren't enough players, but without servers, how is the player base expected to grow? The impact of this policy has had a truly detrimental effect on the African gaming community. Many games have "World" Cups or "World" Championships, and it's evident that Africa isn't part of their "World." No matter how good African players are, there's no way of getting involved in many of the sanctioned leagues without moving to another contin

Her passive ability, Eye For Quality, lets her see purple and gold items through walls. It can be pretty difficult to determine what the item is at a distance, and most of them are hop-ups, but it helps to know which buildings are best to l

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

The same goes for Riot Games, Ubisoft, and most other publishers. They've all released statements claiming to support black people and end racism, yet Africa isn't part of their plans and isn't worthy of their services. They may bring up the old argument about a lack of players and lack of infrastructure, but that's simply untrue. Africa has a large, vibrant gaming community who have to suffer from constant connectivity issues to follow their passion. Both Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Service also have functioning data centers in Africa to facilitate gaming serv

Apex Legends is alive and kicking with its recent Season 5 update and players are getting accustomed to the new meta. Plenty of the legends have received boosts while others have had their powers ner

If you want to get the most out of the speed demon then you need to keep an eye out for its extended magazine attachment as well as the lightweight optic item. It can win entire fights at close range simply due to its ability to rip through armor at remarkable speeds that can't be matched by most other guns in the g

Big names in gaming like Apex Legends Sparrow Legends , FIFA , Fortnite , League of Legends , Valorant , Rainbow Six Siege , and more have a worldwide following with servers everywhere except Africa. As an African gamer, I find it insulting and hypocritical that these companies force us to read Black Lives Matter messages every time we start a game, yet most black people aren't allowed to get the best experience from

It should come as no surprise that Loba has a hard time interacting with robots and finds them offputting. Even someone as gentle and kind as Pathfinder feels the wrath of Loba's disdain. When something as traumatic as what she witnessed at a young age happens, it can leave emotional scars that are almost impossible to erase. There may come a day where Loba's hate for robots, in general, dies down, but don't ever expect her to forgive Revenant for what he did to her and her parents on that fateful

Each of Mirage's abilities has been buffed in this patch. His decoy, which now lasts for 60 seconds, can be fully controlled. At first the decoy will still run in a straight line, but now Mirage is able to control him by pushing H. The copy will move exactly like Mirage. Similarly, the decoys that deploy when Mirage ults will also mimic his every move. Most significantly, Mirage now cloaks when using respawn beacons and cloak himself and downed allies when rezz

His noxious gas can cause confusion and several disrupt your opponent's plans. If you strategize accordingly and the final circle lands on a building, beware. A smart Caustic can cover that building in gas traps and make it impossible for enemy teams to fight unscat

On the other end, in slang Loba is shorthand for describing an attractive woman. On top of being one of the best thieves alive, Loba also happens to be rather easy on the eyes and likely has men and women developing crus

Loba is voiced by a woman named Fryda Wolff, who's been an active actor and performer since 2003. Her name might not sound familiar, but in recent years she's landed some big roles in the video game space. She not only voiced Sara Ryder, the lead female protagonist in Mass Effect: Andromeda , but she also happened to voice one of the eight major characters featured in Square Enix's Octopath Traveler , Tressa Colzione. One listen to any of Loba's numerous quips with show you just how talented she is at bringing her to life in a real

It's meant to resemble the bloodstains on her eyes when she witnessed her parents being murdered at the hands of Revenant. It's a reminder of her past, while at the same time giving her a spark of flair that makes her stand out even m
