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

In addition to having an impressive area skill that locks in enemies and continuously damages them, Mars can double as a tank especially with Bulwark. Meanwhile, God's Rebuke and his Spear can make quick work of stragglers or even melee gank

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

If you do this in DOTA 2, then you only increase your chances of getting killed. When starting out, it's better to focus on avoiding deaths instead of racking up kills. Being too bloodthirsty and chasing a target relentlessly for that one positive point in your K/D/A is a good way to get gan

Every good team needs a solid Strength-type initiator and not many can match Magnus for that role. His ultimate skill, Reverse Polarity, can ruin the enemy's plan faster than they can react. That does make Magnus a target of stun abilities but that can easily be remed

Although she's a defender of the planet and fights for the good of humanity, Star Guardian Jinx doesn't quite fit in with her cadre. For one, she's reluctant to prioritize protection over destruction, and @mightyraccoon expertly portrays the friction between Jinx's personality and her duty as a Star Guard

Toating her rocket launcher and smirking to the side, @florbcosplay's cosplay embodies Jinx's rhetorical question posed to her weapon: "Hey Fishbones, should we blow something up?" The answer, of course, will always be an explosive, rubble-rousing "yes." The chaos exhibited by Jinx is expressed in more subtle ways , too, as seen in the un-tied and un-laced bo

Limited holiday-themed skins are a hot commodity in the League of Legend's shop, and Bewitching Miss Fortune is a particular treat. @hana.cosplay brings the bounty-hunter-turned-witch to life, trading her pirate hat for something more coven-appropri

Although the scene conveys warmhearted and innocuous feelings, fans of the champion can't help but wonder if there is something far more nefarious that is actually prompting such a jubilant reaction from J

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

Paying homage to the genre of Magical Girls, specifically Sailor Moon , League's Star Guardian skins reimagine champions as planetary defenders fighting for love and justice. While Jinx is certainly not a character that leaps to mind when it comes to playing the hero, including her—despite her reluctance—in the Star Guardian lineup makes for a wonderful new take on the champ

In the game, her passive ability "Get Excited!" triggers when she defeats an enemy or razes an opposing tower , which results in Jinx gaining a massive boost to her movement and attack speed—all but ensuring she'll continue on her warpath. @roxxace, without brandishing her guns and explosives, encapsulates this key aspect of the champion with her unhinged laughing-grin and wide-eyed ecst

Taking on Slayer Jinx, a version of the champion that sees the loose cannon turned onto zombie hordes in a post-apocalyptic world, Hanzo Gameplay @madlencia's cosplay oozes with dystopian color and chaotic charm. Splattered with paint and framed by neon smoke, this Jinx has channeled her proclivity for demolition into a zombie-slaying focused med

This can cost them the game. It lets the enemy recover and removes the most important repercussion when losing clashes. Unless your team has the landslide advantage and you only want to prolong the enemy's suffering, not taking advantage of post-clast wipes a bad p

Much like Undying, Ostarion or Wraith King is a tank that just won't die. He also boasts the Reincarnation passive though his is much better as it has a lower cooldown and added gimmicks. Unlike Undying, however, he's simpler to use and more straightforw
