As a Destiny 2 player, you know the problem all too well: You finally found the perfect loadout, but after the latest update or balance changes, it suddenly isn’t as effective as before. But now there are 2 free apps that offer a practical solution and make it easier to adjust your best builds. MeinMMO shows them to you.
In Destiny 2, an important aspect of the game is choosing a good and especially current build along with a weapon loadout. It helps your Guardian to optimally assert itself against the enemies of humanity.
But which loadout is currently the best for the current meta?
And how can you ensure that you always have the most effective loadout for your game?
Especially if after the latest update or balance changes by Bungie, some things suddenly aren’t as effective as before?
In this case, two practical loadout apps come into play that you can even use for free and which can optimally help you with community power in developing S-Tier builds, meaning the strongest and most useful builds.
MeinMMO introduces these apps today and shows how they can help you improve your performance in the game.

Here’s how you can find and recreate popular meta builds
Players develop their own meta build solution: Guardians in Destiny 2 are constantly looking for ways to improve their experiences and connect with other players.
From this, several practical so-called third-party apps, that is, unofficial apps developed by Guardians and not by Bungie, have emerged, which are actively used and have become indispensable.
The most well-known app is the ‘Destiny Item Manager‘ (short “DIM”). It has saved players the trip to their vault for many years and has become more extensive over the years.
Also, ‘Ishtar Commander‘ and ‘Bray.tech‘ have long offered players a variety of features to enhance their gaming experience. For example, Bray.tech allows you to track your game and check your outstanding weekly or seasonal activities.
Thanks to “DIM”, Guardians can optimally manage their post and vault – no matter where
These apps are now new: However, there are now two new practical apps that have also been developed by players to help you always create the most effective loadouts and improve your performance in the game.
The first build and loadout app is “GuardianForge” – it was the first of its kind.
There, you can present your own setup or view the builds of other Guardians. Filter by class, subclass, activity, or a specific piece of equipment.
Here, you can also filter by the most popular loadouts and thus discover and recreate the currently popular builds. But especially in this app, lists, images, embedded videos, and more can also be stored.
The best of community expertise: Both apps heavily utilize the community power of Destiny 2, and you can find a wide range of build suggestions.
You can also search directly for builds that are specifically optimized for certain missions or enemies, or for builds that are currently popular in the meta.
This is what the build overviews look like in both loadout apps
Practical, straightforward, and helpful: For many players, this is extremely helpful, as it can be difficult to keep track of which exotics and abilities Bungie has improved or nerfed, which mods are currently the most effective in PvP or PvE, or which weapons deal the most damage after updates.
With the apps shown here, you can ensure that you are always up to date and make the most of community expertise. You can also share your own build ideas there and make them accessible.
It should be mentioned here that well-known Destiny streamers, like Aztecross and others, now share their builds there. You can also actively search for them.
With this practical community power, players can not only improve their game but also expand the limits of their imagination and discover new, effective build strategies.
How to get the apps and what do they cost?
You can use both apps in the browser. To do so, visit the website blackarmory.app or guardianforge.net. This also works via smartphone, as both websites are mobile-optimized.
There are no costs for you, as both apps are free to use. Only those who want can support the developers in their volunteer work for the Destiny community.
We can only recommend both loadout apps to you, as they are a great way for Destiny 2 players to find the best loadout and save time because they offer many useful features. So if you want to improve your gaming performance, you should definitely try these apps.
Have you already tried one of the loadout apps, and how has it affected your gaming performance? Please share your experiences with it in the comments.
Besides builds, weapons in Destiny 2 are sometimes completely overpowered – like this one:
Elias “EliasN97” Nerlich (25) is the biggest streamer in German Twitch. He is usually known for gaming and reaction content or sometimes for special events. However, Twitter is currently discussing him for a different reason: users are accusing the 25-year-old of sexism due to a video.
What is this clip about? On April 28, Twitter user Rito shared a clip that does not put EliasN97 in a good light. In the video, the streamer talks about a supposed fashion trend among women who wear their underwear in a way that is visible above their waistband.
For the 25-year-old, this has nothing to do with fashion; he wants to warn his viewers in case their girlfriends go out like that or want to sleep over at their “best friends”. He accuses women who present themselves that way in public of lacking loyalty and being “promiscuous”.
A discussion quickly arose in the comments: while some agree with the streamer, others find his viewpoint outdated and are disturbed by his behavior.
The video Elias reacts to is only 2 weeks old, so the clip is still quite current. It is difficult to determine exactly when the recordings were made, as there are no clips or VODs on EliasN97’s Twitch channel. Presumably, it is a good decision, as videos taken out of context can quickly develop a life of their own online.
Start video
Twitch: This is the quirky story behind the most popular clip of all time
Criticism even comes from his own girlfriend
What bothers the viewers? Some commenters on Twitter consider the streamer’s statements to be sexist and outdated. Rito, who shared the clip, calls the opinion “straight out of the Neanderthal age”. Even his own girlfriend seems little impressed: she can be heard in the video discussing with EliasN97.
The behavior that EliasN97 displays in the conversation with his girlfriend also does not sit well with some users. The streamer repeatedly interrupts her, talks over her, or shouts “promiscuous” during her speech.
Furthermore, the 25-year-old comes across as somewhat self-righteous at times: he thinks he can say that, his advertising partners stand behind him, many might not like the statements, but he doesn’t care.
Ultimately, he does somewhat relativize: this is simply his personal opinion, for him such outfits would not be acceptable in a relationship, but others might find it less concerning. We have embedded the clip for you here:
The users in the comments are by no means in agreement: many agree with EliasN97 or at least think he has the right to express his opinion freely. The streamer himself has not yet commented on the recordings.
Unlike his Twitch colleague MontanaBlack, who is known for his somewhat brash style, EliasN97 actually has a pretty good, clean image. Perhaps this is why the expectations of him are higher, and the uproar is correspondingly greater when he misbehaves in the eyes of critics.
Martin “Rekkles” Larsson has been one of the biggest talents as an AD-Carry in League of Legends for years. With Fnatic, he reached the finals of the Worlds in 2018 and also made it to the quarter-finals in 2017 and 2019. Now, however, he is changing roles and will become a Supporter to further develop himself. His team is putting him on the bench for now.
In 2021, he joined the French league LFL and played there for Karmine Corp. While the season wasn’t bad, it seems the pro missed the spotlight. Additionally, his team accused him of having “star-like behavior”.
Before 2023, Fnatic decided to release the German AD-Carry Upset, with whom they had quite a bit of success. They brought Rekkles back into the team but only achieved 9th place (second to last) in the winter split and 8th place in the spring split. Consequently, fans and players were disappointed.
In a video on Twitter, Rekkles announced that he will change his position. He sees the chance for a career boost as a Supporter.

What exactly did Rekkles say? In the video, the pro states that while he is a really good AD-Carry, he has now reached a point where he is not progressing anymore. He has been playing this position for 12 years, and now is the time to change something.
The best step is now to reinvent myself, try something new. And I am sure that I can implement this. […]. The game knowledge is there, the communication is there, frankly, there is no reason why I shouldn’t be able to do this.
Although he still needs to train a lot, especially with melee supporters, he remains optimistic about being able to play as a Supporter at a high level.
Is the decision surprising? Not really, as Rekkles has been experimenting with supporters in the past.
In January 2023, there were already rumors that Rekkles could play as a Supporter alongside Upset. Allegedly, the MAD Lions were also interested in Rekkles as a Supporter at the beginning of 2023 (via Summoners-Inn).
It is also not unusual for an AD-Carry to switch to a Supporter role. The pro Jesper “Zven” Svenningsen has also played for years on the Botlane for teams like G2 Esports and TSM. Since May 2022, he has been the Supporter for Cloud9 and even became a champion with the team.
The LoL legend Faker, however, has played his whole life in the Midlane and has done so very successfully:

Rekkles will not play as a Supporter for Fnatic for now
How does his team react to this? Fnatic is looking for a new AD-Carry, who is supposed to join in the “next weeks”. Furthermore, it is said that they support Rekkles in his decision to want to play Support now.
However, he will not be in the starting lineup for the new season (via Twitter). Whether Rekkles will be content with a spot on the bench for the time being or will switch teams is still unknown.
2023 has already brought some surprises for the European LoL community. For example, a team won the Spring Split that no one really had on their radar:
The Twitch streamer Adriana Chechik (31) talked about her dislike for Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa (29). She would prefer to settle things in the boxing ring.
What kind of streamer is she? Adriana Chechik is a former adult film star and has been active on Twitch since April 2020. When she is not chatting with her viewers in “Just Chatting,” she mainly plays single-player titles from soulslikes to God of War and Hogwarts Legacy.
Chechik has not streamed Fortnite since August 2022 when she was denied participation in a tournament:
Amouranth needs no introduction. She is one of the most successful streamers on Twitch and is mainly known for her hot-tub and ASMR streams. On Twitch alone, 6.4 million fans follow her – apparently Adriana Chechik is not one of them, as she criticized Amouranth in a stream.
In contrast to the two divas, this Twitch streamer managed to go viral with her kindness:

Adriana Chechik on Amouranth: “I have no respect for her”
What did the streamer say about Amouranth? In a stream from April 27, Adriana Chechik played Elden Ring and chatted with her Twitch colleague IvanaHyde. Chechik began to rave about the streamer TheDanDangler, who is so educated and nice.
According to Chechik, the streamers from the hot-tub scene are mostly friendly, with one crucial exception: Amouranth.
You want to meet girls on stream and they will be nice. I’m honest with you – and I call them out: Amouranth will probably be a damn diva because she loves to be a diva in her life. But other hot-tub streamers will be nice.
What bothers Chechik about Amouranth? In short: her personality. While IvanaHyde explains that she cannot say much about Amouranth as a person but respects her business sense, Adriana Chechik states, “I have no respect for her anymore.”
According to Chechik, Amouranth is unfriendly at events and behaves as if she does not want to be there at all. She also criticized the 29-year-old for continuing to produce suggestive content even after the allegations against her husband.

How did Amouranth react? The streamer chose a rather unusual way to respond to the accusations. Instead of addressing the situation in her own stream, she wrote a series of comments under a YouTube video that shows the reaction of former Overwatch pro xQc to Chechik’s clip.
In the comments, Amouranth claimed she never had any bad intentions towards Adriana Chechik. She would otherwise always act sweet and nice when asking for invitations to events.
Amouranth seems to want to sow doubt about Chechik’s credibility, as she also writes that she did not talk to her at the mentioned event.
The streamer clarifies that she did not start the fight, but apparently wants to end it – and in the boxing ring. Amouranth, who is currently preparing for her first fight in influencer boxing, challenged her opponent:
I say it here first: I will challenge her in the ring. Let’s settle this outside, how about that?
Adriana Chechik has not yet responded to Amouranth’s challenge.
Although Adriana Chechik criticizes Amouranth for continuing to produce suggestive content even after their separation, the streamer is currently working on several new projects. And surprisingly, a collaboration with OnlyFans is supposed to be fun for the whole family:
MeinMMO author Dariusz Müller is a big fan of PvP shooters, but he is dissatisfied with the current offerings on the gaming market. He finds the types of shooters that are currently the most popular to be rubbish.
I have three great passions in gaming: Pokémon, survival games, and shooters – particularly the latter with competitive thought and a PvP focus. It can definitely be fast-paced and action-packed, but I also enjoy tactical gameplay.
What I do not like to see, however, are new extraction shooters and battle royales. I have played various games from both subgenres and must honestly say that my enjoyment was mostly limited. I like neither the gameplay mechanics nor the way players act in both types of shooters.
Moreover, CoD MW2 and Battlefield 2042 are not as good as expected and were somewhat qualitatively disappointing, and Shatterline is too insignificant to present a long-term alternative. Additionally, arena shooters like Splitgate or Halo Infinite have virtually no players left (via SteamCharts). It seems as if battle royales and EFT-likes are the only types of shooters that are currently successful.
My hope for the near future lies with Ubisoft’s CoD competitor XDefiant, but even here, the beta had massive technical issues and insufficient server stability. This needs to improve significantly by the release.

I want fair duels and not a comparison of who has better equipment
In every battle royale or extraction shooter, there comes a point for me where I do not want to continue playing due to lack of fun. This point was often reached when I increasingly lost confrontations because the opponent had significantly better equipment.
This can depend on luck in a battle royale and on playtime in an extraction shooter like Escape from Tarkov. I dislike both.
A gunfight can be noticeably more difficult for me when my opponent is better equipped, and I deal significantly less damage with my weapon or the type of ammunition used, even though I have the better aim and movement.
I want fair gunfights and not a battle over who had more time to play in the current wipe. I play various games and, for instance, will complete the current titan raid in Pokémon as soon as the article is finished and my workday is over.
After that, I might want to play Witcher 3 again, unlock the new supporter in Overwatch 2, and finally spend some time in New World.
For me, a shooter is ideal when my opponent and I meet under as equal conditions as possible, we deliver a fair fight, and in the end, the one who was better stands – spoiler: In CS:GO or Valorant, it is usually the others.
In contrast to extraction shooters, battle royales have the advantage that everyone starts with the same equipment. However, I always seem to have the luck of finding comparatively poor weapons for a long time, while my opponent shows up with the current meta weapons.
And I am simply not the type of player to run away in a zigzag and hide somewhere in such situations. I want the gunfight and then end up in the gulag – suboptimal.
Despite my criticism, not all games that fall into the two shooter categories are bad. Some titles are really well executed and extremely popular among many players, even if I find them to be rubbish.
There are even some titles that I at least enjoyed playing for a short time. The DMZ mode of Warzone 2 was quite fun for me, even though it is an extraction shooter. The Cycle Frontier or Hunt: Showdown also have aspects that I can praise.
Nevertheless, I personally just don’t enjoy battle royales and extraction shooters and would wish that not all developers would rush to the two subgenres and want to create their own version of the same gameplay mechanics.
An exception in the gaming market is the arena shooter “The Finals” by Embark Studios. MeinMMO editor Maik Schneider has summarized for you how The Finals plays.

On Tuesday, April 25th, the shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive received a new skin series. The Anubis Collection, inspired by the Anubis map, is only available from a special loot box. According to an analyst, this is said to have generated at least 11 million dollars on the first day.
What are these skins anyway? The Anubis Collection consists of 19 weapon skins named after Egyptian gods such as Horus or Ramses. They are only available from a special package for real money. A package costs 2 dollars (1.89 euros). However, the chances of getting the new skins are very low.
Where does the 11 million dollars come from? The streamer and YouTuber Heyzeus analyzed the new skins and sent out a tweet about it. He took the number of “Eye of Horus” skins received so far from a CS:GO database and compared it with the probability of obtaining such a skin.
From this, he concluded that statistically at least 5.5 million crates had to be opened on the first day. This led to his estimate of at least 11 million dollars in revenue.
Additionally, the revenues generated by Valve from skins traded online between players were not included. For every transaction, the developer receives a portion of the invested money.
One reason for this may be the high interest in the game itself. This summer, it is set to receive a major update that will transform the shooter into Counter-Strike 2. Not only will the engine be revamped, but also the maps, sound effects, and overall graphics will be improved.
Counter-Strike 2 heralds a new era – The most important changes in the video
But there is not only much movement regarding the skins. On March 16, 2023, CS:GO set a new player record, with 1,519,457 people online at the same time (via SteamDB). Even yesterday, on April 28, more than 1.35 million players logged in at peak times. That alone would have been a record before March 2013.
However, just because the shooter is currently experiencing a little hype does not mean that every player is good at it. This was recently proven by two of the biggest German streamers:
The MMORPG MapleStory has just announced a radical step. The developers will completely remove the class Jett from the game. They stated that Jett exists in the global version but not in the Korean one. Many players are now fearing for other classes.
What is happening right now? The global version of MapleStory differs from the one in Korea, where the developers from Nexon are based. Not only are there different shop contents, but also different bosses, stats, and classes.
The global MapleStory has about 5 own classes that have never appeared in the Korean original. However, this repeatedly leads to problems, as revealed in the official forum. Because although Jett does not exist in Korea, the developers had to take it and the other classes into account when balancing new content. They have done this for 11 years regarding Jett.
MapleStory offers – across versions – more than 50 different classes. Achieving a balanced balance is said to be very difficult.
Moreover, there have reportedly been recurring bugs affecting Jett. Therefore, a decision has now been made to disable the character creation of Jett immediately and to delete the class completely in February 2024.

Players fear that the other classes could also be deleted
What happens to the created characters? In summer there should be a “Jett Job Transfer”. This will allow players to transform their character into another class. However, the transformation is limited to 15 selected classes.
This will retain the character’s gameplay progress. Additionally, there is currently work on a solution to retain the equipment as well. Details about this are to come “later”.
How are the players reacting? Players who have Jett as their main character are not very enthusiastic about the change. Some are demanding a refund for the money they invested in the character.
However, players of other “non-Korean” classes are also worried. Because there is no guarantee that they will not face the same fate in the future. The user Mission-Indication96 writes on Reddit: “This is really a bad sign for all classes that do not exist in Korea.”
In 2005, the cute MMORPG was released in the West and has since experienced a turbulent history. On Steam, where the MMORPG was released in 2013, over 7,000 players log in simultaneously at peak times each day. Almost one million people follow MapleStory Global’s account on Facebook. Thus, the game definitely has a fanbase here in the West that is not very pleased with the new change.
Moreover, there are always cute stories from the game, such as here a boss with 720,000,000,000,000 hit points:
The new Pokémon Axantor will soon celebrate its debut in Pokémon GO – in the form of a Raid Day. We summarize how it works here.
When is the Raid Day with Axantor? The Raid Day takes place on Saturday, May 6th from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM local time. It is one of the first May events in Pokémon GO and is already approaching.
What kind of Pokémon is this? Axantor was introduced to the Pokémon world with the Switch game “Legends: Arceus” and belongs to the Bug and Rock types.
Axantor can – actually – evolve from Scyther. In “Legends: Arceus”, this happens when the item “Black Augite” is applied to Scyther. Then it evolves into Axantor instead of the previously known Scizor. It represents an alternative evolution from the Hisui region, as was the case with Ursaluna.
However, the evolution from Scyther in Pokémon GO will not be possible for now, according to the announcement from Niantic (via pokemongolive.com). Instead, you can only obtain the axe monster in Raid battles.
Coincidentally, Pokémon GO is hosting the Raid Day on April 6th.
How does the Raid Day with Axantor work? All bonuses of the event
This is what happens on the Raid Day: You have a total of three hours to complete Axantor raids during the event, which will likely take place at most arenas in the game. The raids are level 3 and should be doable alone.
Can Axantor be Shiny? Yes, Axantor will be available as Shiny right at its debut. Additionally, there will be an increased chance of Shiny during the raids on Raid Day. Anyone who wants the shimmering Axantor should keep this in mind.
What bonuses does the Raid Day bring? In addition to more frequent Axantor raids and the increased Shiny chance, there are two more bonuses:
You will receive up to five additional daily raid passes when spinning gyms during the event and up to two hours afterward. In the past, the next pass at such events was always given once a free pass was used.
The remote raid limit will be increased to ten remote raids from 00:00 to 23:59 on the event day.
What is the deal with the remote raid limit? Pokémon GO recently made headlines when some changes regarding remote raids were announced. This includes a remote raid limit that restricts players to up to five remote raids per day.
Additionally, the prices for remote raids have been increased. The changes caused frustration in the community, and much criticism was expressed about the decisions. You can learn more about the discussion about remote raids in Pokémon GO here.

For the Community Day Classic with Quiekel in April 2023, there is a special research in the shop that costs one euro. The contents that the ticket for Pokémon GO brings are summarized here.
As usual, the shop brings a special research to match the event, for which you need a ticket. It costs 0.99 euros when purchased in the shop.
This ticket brings various item rewards and encounters with the Quiekel evolution line.
To help you find out if the ticket is something for you, we have summarized all tasks and rewards of the special research here.
Ticket for the Community Day Classic with Quiekel – All Tasks and Rewards
Where does the information come from? Although the event starts at 14:00, in other time zones the Community Day is already in progress or even finished.
Accordingly, the contents are already known. With the help of the overview from LeekDuck, we summarize here what the ticket brings.
Over a total of four research steps, you will receive the following rewards:

Level reward: After completion, you will receive 5,500 XP, an encounter with Mamutel, and 3 special candies.
When comparing the items included in the special research with their regular prices in the shop, it can be seen that they generally cost a little more there.
Here is the comparison:
Incense normally costs 40 coins, about 0.40 euros
The lucky egg costs 80 coins, about 0.80 euros
The rocket radar in the shop costs 200 coins, about 2 euros. However, you can also earn it through rocket battles.
On top of that, there are encounters with the Quiekel line, as well as items like balls, berries, and special candies. Additionally, you can secure XP and stardust.
However, it should also be noted that the ticket cannot be paid with earned coins and can only be obtained through real money. However, you can pay with regular coins for items in the shop.
Regarding the extra Quiekel rewards like candies and encounters, you are also not dependent on them if you play long enough during the C-Day to gather enough candies. On the other hand, if you have little time, it could be interesting.
Therefore, the ticket is definitely worth it if you were already planning to buy items for the game and want to complete a few extra tasks during the event. However, the ticket is not strictly necessary.
In Pokémon GO is today, on April 29, 2023, the Community Day Classic featuring Slakoth. We take a look at the content, bonuses, and what to keep in mind.
What kind of event is this? The Community Day Classic works similarly to the “regular” Community Day, where a specific Pokémon is highlighted for several hours.
The “Classic” variant always brings a Pokémon that has already had a regular Community Day. Players who missed it or started playing Pokémon GO later can secure it, including its Shiny version.
In April 2023, it is the Pokémon Slakoth. And for players who do not yet have a strong specimen, this event should be worthwhile.
Community Day Classic in April 2023 with Slakoth – Start, Bonuses, Content
What? Community Day Classic with Slakoth When? Saturday, April 29, 2023, from 14:00 to 17:00 local time Pokémon of the Day: Slakoth spawns almost everywhere in the wild Exclusive Attack: The Fast Move “Ancient Power”. Evolve Vigoroth into Slaking between 14:00 and 19:00. Bonuses: – Triple catch Stardust – Incense and Lures last 3 hours – Snapshot surprises – A special research task will also be available in the shop for 1 Euro. You can find the content of the research here.
The special Tier 4 raids that were used at previous Community Days will not be part of the Community Day Classic.
Who is the Community Day Classic with Slakoth worth it for?
Slakoth is not a rare Pokémon anymore; it appeared regularly in previous years. The original Community Day with Slakoth was already over 4 years ago, taking place in spring 2019.
It is quite possible that some players may not have caught that. Therefore, just the opportunity to have a good chance at the Shiny Slakoth is surely interesting for some.
What the Shiny looks like, we show you here:
How strong is Slakoth? This is the second good argument for the event: Slakoth’s final evolution, Slaking, is among the most useful Pokémon in the game.
If you have a Shadow Slakoth, Vigoroth, or Slaking, you can collect the necessary candies on Community Day to make it really strong.

Pokémon GO: The strongest attackers of all types in the video
How to prepare for the Community Day Classic
The right Mega Pokémon: If you have an active suitable Mega Evolution during the event, you will receive extra candies for each Slakoth caught.
Since Slakoth is of the Ground/Ice type, the following Mega Evolutions are suitable:
Mega-Aggron
Mega-Swampert
Mega-Glalie
Mega-Abomasnow
Keep in mind: The higher the Mega level, the better bonuses you will get.
Make space: If you want to significantly increase your stock of Slakoth candies, you will need to catch many Pokémon. Prepare space in your collection for this. Use the filter function: With the search term
“0*, 1*, 2*”
the game will only show you Pokémon that are worse than 2 stars.

This weekend, a mysterious vendor named Xur appears in Destiny 2 to offer players exotic gear and weapons. MeinMMO will provide you with all the information about Xur.
However, first we will reveal what happened this week in Destiny 2 in our weekly recap.
What happened this week in Destiny 2? This week, there was a lot of frustration in the community, as Destiny 2 is currently struggling to address its issues, which is affecting player morale.
In FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, the TOTS event has finally started. The Community TOTS is now live and brings some damn strong cards.
Update, April 28 at 7:00 PM: The Community TOTS is now officially in the game, marking the beginning of the Team-of-the-Season event.
The new cards include some really strong examples like Bernardo Silva (95), Sanchez (95), Coman (93), Gabriel Jesus (93), and Rodrygo (93). But even Robertson (92), Aké (91), and Bennacer (92) are noteworthy.
Check out the new TOTS cards here:
Alongside the new Community TOTS, the TOTS of the Dutch Eredivisie has also been released. You can see the players here:
Here you can continue with the original post.
This is the TOTS: The “Team of the Season” is released every year in Ultimate Team. The top players from different leagues are highlighted – and equipped with massively improved cards.
Over the coming weeks, several “teams of the season” will be released regularly, such as the Community TOTS, the Premier League TOTS, the Bundesliga TOTS, and more. These cards will then be included in the packs of FIFA 23.
For some of these teams, you can cast your vote in advance. There have already been votings for the Community- and the Premier League TOTS.
When does the TOTS finally start? Since the TOTS Warmup has begun in FUT and you can already earn packs in the game for the Team of the Season event, the TOTS should not be far away.
We expect a start on Friday, April 28 at 7:00 PM. This would also fit with previous years.
Surprisingly, many strong players were nominated this year for the Community TOTS, which could lead to an incredibly strong Community Team. Because stars like Gabriel Jesus, Coman, De Gea, Robertson, Bernardo Silva, Rodrygo, Bennacer, or Alexis Sanchez could be voted for.
And if these actually make it into the TOTS, they will probably receive powerful cards that are likely to be highly sought after.

The new patch 13.9 of League of Legends is coming and brings many adjustments for the champions in the popular MOBA. This is always a good time to draw conclusions about how the characters have performed over the course of a patch, and particularly a popular jungler is not doing well.
League of Legends offers its players an almost overwhelming number of champions. At some point, there are supposed to be no new champions anymore, but since release, fresh characters regularly come along, allowing for new playstyles.
One of the currently most popular champions and even the most popular jungler is Lee Sin, the blind monk. But although he is played the most in Solo Queue (Ranked / Platinum+), he also has one of the worst win rates and loses more matches than all other junglers.
League of Legends celebrated its release back in 2009 and has since seen numerous champions and changes. Here are some facts that only veterans know:

7 Facts about LoL that only true veterans know
Lee Sin: High Risk – High Reward
Why does Lee Sin lose so often? With the following statistics, the monk can boast in patch 13.8 at the time of this article:
Lee Sin is thus the most played jungler. With 235,341, Kha’Zix is not far behind, and Jarvan IV is far behind in 3rd place with around 170,000 picks. However, both competitors have a win rate above 50 %, while Lee Sin is in the red.
The problem with Lee Sin is that his abilities offer a large skill gap. That means it’s much harder for a player without much experience to play the jungler effectively.
The blind monk is an extremely mobile champion. However, this also means in a MOBA that any small miscalculation of the situation can lead to a death. With the most fragile junglers, this happens quickly, and you’re waiting for the spawn again.
Lee Sin is a champion who takes high risks to give his team an advantage – but this can quickly go wrong. A real mixed bag, depending on how the player behind it is performing.
As the US site Dot Esports knows, Lee Sin’s pick rate has already been decreasing for 5 patches (via dotesport.com). However, many players can or do not want to miss the chance to be celebrated as the big hero of the match because the “Lee Sin” combo kicked out exactly the right opponent in the team fight.
What do you think when a Lee Sin appears again during the picking in the team? And what niceties do you wish for a Lee Sin who enjoys jumping into the enemy ranks again to get a death? Leave a comment on the topic.

Although Patch 10.1 Glut von Neltharion is not yet live, the developers are already talking a bit about the next story highlights that will follow in the upcoming updates. In the first episode of “WoWcast”, the developers discussed the future of the story of Dragonflight – and what themes will still be covered.
Spoiler warning: Since this is about the future of Dragonflight and the ongoing story, there are logically spoilers. You have been warned.
What happens after Patch 10.1? Maria Hamilton, the “Lead Game Designer Worlds”, spoke about the future of the story. According to her, the focus will be on the Bronze Dragonflight after the events in the Zaralek caverns. After all, its leader, Nozdormu, is still facing the fate of one day becoming the dark “Murozond”, who will bring about the “Eternal Dragonflight”. This story will, according to Hamilton, “come to a resolution” – and the evil version of Chromie, called “Morchie”, will play a larger role.

Galakrond returns: Incidentally, it was mentioned that Galakrond will return. He is one of the original dragons of Azeroth, who was once a huge threat and devoured almost all life on the world. Only with the help of the Titans were the future aspects able to kill Galakrond. His skeleton can still be seen today in Northrend.
Whether Galakrond will actually be revived in the present time or if it is “just” a time travel where that must be prevented remains to be seen.
Galakrond returns – somehow.
How does this fit together? Fans have already begun to connect these details, and the revival of Galakrond fits well with what is happening in Patch 10.1. In the Zaralek caverns, the primal incarnation of fire, Fyrakk, absorbs the shadow flame. These were developed by Neltharion many millennia ago.
Longtime fans know that the shadow flame was already used in the Blackwing Lair and the Blackwing Descent (Vanilla and Cataclysm) and was capable of reviving dead dragons.
It is therefore possible that the shadow flame causes the reanimation of Galakrond.
When will we learn more about it? Probably within a few days. Because when Patch 10.1 goes live on May 3rd, the PTR for Patch 10.1.5 will likely start shortly after – and thus it will be clearly established where the further journey in Dragonflight is headed, what happens with the bronze dragonflight, and whether the “evil Morchie” is as cute as Chromie.
Are you looking forward to the further development of the story of Dragonflight? Or are you already tired of the dragon theme?

The YouTuber Max “HandOfBlood” Knabe hosted his “Influencer Darts World Championship” on April 27 on Twitch in a cozy pub atmosphere. We at MeinMMO show you how it went.
What kind of event was that? At the end of January, HandOfBlood announced his darts event as an alternative to official tournaments like the WM Alexandra Palaca: “Ally Pally for the poor” in a bar, with crazy hairstyles and beer (via Twitter).
Yesterday, on April 27, the event took place and was broadcast live on the rarely used Twitch channel of HandOfBlood. You can read information about the participants here:
Who won? The most important thing upfront: The victory went to Marcel “Scorpion” Althaus and the drag queen Milo “Aria Addams” Pochylski. Aria Addams impressed not only with a flawless style but also with surprising darts skills.
The participation of MarcelScorpion, on the other hand, sparked some discussions among the viewers (via Twitter), as the YouTuber was the only participant with professional darts experience and even triumphed over darts legend John Henderson in March (via sport1).
Some viewers in the chat therefore complained that MarcelScorpion’s team had an unfair advantage. In the final, the YouTuber then demonstrated all his skills and threw a 180: This is a darts term that denotes the highest score achievable with 3 darts.
We’ve embedded the decisive moment for you here:

But even outside of the big final, there were plenty of special moments.
Relaxed bar atmosphere
How was the mood? A highlight of the evening was definitely the atmosphere. Viewers and participants were in good spirits, and even the attending paramedics weren’t shy about a few light-hearted remarks.
As participant Sterzik was just preparing for his first throw, an inattentive cameraman walked right in front of the target. No one was injured, which seemed to disappoint the paramedic a bit during his conversation with the evening’s reporters:

How does Hänno look? Organizer HandOfBlood had already announced in advance that extraordinary hairstyles would play an important role in the event. Of course, the YouTuber had to deliver himself. For his look, he drew inspiration from Scottish darts pro Peter Wright.
The result was a red-dyed mohawk with a dedication to his LoL team Eintracht Spandau (via Twitter). Participant Sterzik also impressed with a shaved artwork on the back of his head:

What did Broeki do? Anyone who follows the German LoL scene around Eintracht Spandau and No Need Orga knows that when it gets serious, Daniel “Broeki” Broekmann drops his pants. His team already owed their promotion to the 1st league to this special tactic – and perhaps also some gaming skills (via Twitter).
Given this background, it might not be too surprising that Broeki created a bit of extra legroom in the quarter-finals against Simon and Eddy from the Rocket Beans. In the end, however, the Rocket Beans narrowly triumphed.

Patch 10.1 of World of Warcraft launches in a few days and brings many changes. We’ll tell you what’s in store for your class.
The first substantial content update for World of Warcraft Dragonflight is on the horizon. Patch 10.1 Ashes of Neltharion launches on May 3 and brings a whole host of highlights. There will be not only new areas and a fresh raid but also numerous adjustments for most classes. To ensure you’re prepared, we summarize the most important changes for the classes.
[toc]
Death Knight
For the Death Knight, comparatively little changes. The current tier set from the Vault of the Incarnates becomes slightly weaker for Frost Death Knights. However, Blizzard lends a hand to the Unholy Death Knight, significantly increasing their damage output. Harvesting, Decrepit Wounds, Death Strike, and Death’s Caress will each deal more damage, all in the double-digit percentage range.
Demon Hunter
For the Demon Hunter, there are only adjustments to the Havoc specialization, and these are minor. The talents for “Throw Glaive” are being slightly adjusted, making the ability more worthwhile even against single targets. The set bonus from the Vault of the Incarnates is drastically nerfed, and “Fuel for the Flame” only heals 20% of maximum health instead of 25%.
Druid
For the Druid, there are a whole lot of detail changes; it’s best to check out the full patch notes for these.
In summary, the damage of many abilities has been significantly increased, and some talents have been revised to allow for more flexibility to experiment with different talents beyond the most popular ones. Abilities that consume Astral Power will now be more powerful and feel more rewarding compared to abilities that generate Astral Power.
Feral Druids can enjoy numerous buffs. Almost all damage abilities have been strengthened, dealing between 7% and 22% more damage. Therefore, Feral Druids should be a welcome addition to dungeon groups in the future.
Guardian and Restoration Druids remain virtually unchanged. The Guardian gets just a few new animations, while Restoration has a small nerf to “Wild Growth,” which is due to a bug fix.
The intro to Patch 10.1 can be seen here:

WoW: New cinematic ‘Opening the Path’ shows the new plan of the dragons
Invoker
The new class in Dragonflight isn’t running quite as smoothly as the developers would like, which is why there are some significant changes to the “Devastation” specialization.
The adjustments aim to avoid an unattractive playstyle where Invokers immediately cancel their “Disintegration” to maintain the effect of “Dragon Wrath.” Therefore, Disintegration is being adjusted through talents so that it is worthwhile to cast the spell completely. Further down the talent tree, there are also some overhauls and even completely new talents that should provide more variety in playstyles.
Hunter
Hunters receive a wider range of adjustments that impact all three specializations. Notably, “Revive Pet” will now be a physical spell rather than a nature spell. As a result, the ability can no longer be interrupted by silences or interrupts.
Beast Mastery Hunters can mark up to three targets with the Cobra Shot (previously 2), and the damage bonus from Serpent Sting has been significantly increased. Additionally, Pterrordax pets can finally function correctly with the “Pet Companion” talent.
Marksmanship Hunters receive a small adjustment to some talents. “Deadly Shots” is replaced by “In the Rhythm” and grants 12% haste for 6 seconds each time Barrage is channeled. The talent “Perfect Aim” now requires only one talent point but offers the same benefits as before.
Survival Hunters will see the set bonus from the Vault of the Incarnates massively nerfed. However, they gain an additional 8% damage from all abilities (including their pet’s abilities). In general, this is a clear buff that will become even more significant with the new tier set from Aberrus.
For Hunters, things are looking up again.
Mage
For Mages, the summary is straightforward: All Mages are getting better. Both Arcane, Frost, and Fire are receiving buffs to many abilities, which range from 8% to 15%. Consequently, the class should rank significantly higher in the DPS rankings soon and regain more importance in dungeons.
Monk
The healing of Mistweavers was a bit too unreliable for the developers as it heavily depended on chance for some abilities. This did not suit the specialization and will be changed. “Revive” will now generate 50% more primary healing, while “Soothing Mist” becomes slightly weaker. The PvP talent “Cocooning” will be moved to the PvE talent tree. Finally, the cooldown of “Feyline Stomp” is reduced by a whopping 10 seconds, allowing it to be used more frequently.
For Brewmaster, there’s only an update to a tooltip – no significant changes.
Paladin
The Paladin just had a major overhaul with Patch 10.0.5, so the changes are comparatively minor and largely consist of bug fixes.
Holy Paladins are receiving an overhaul of “Crusade of Vengeance.” While the ability is active, many of your abilities will have reduced cooldowns and heal allies for nearly 600% of the damage done, which will also benefit from the mastery: Lightbringer.
Retribution Paladins will get a few nerfs to their healing abilities and otherwise primarily bug fixes.
Paladins needed a small setback.
Rogue
For Rogues, there are almost no changes. Only the healing from Culling Darkness is reduced from 30% of max health to 24%. This coincides with a major change to character HP.
Shaman
For Shamans, the talent “Deep-Rooted Elements” has been overhauled to trigger more regularly and reliably.
Elemental Shamans are receiving buffs for many of their damage spells, which are only active in PvE. Lava Eruption, Elemental Strike, Earth Shock, and Lightning Bolt all deal between 6% and 12% more damage.
Enhancement Shamans receive some adjustments. All damage is increased by 5%, and some smaller tweaks to talents have been made to ensure that Lightning spells can prioritize consuming Maelstrom. As with many other classes, the tier set from the Vault of the Incarnates has also been slightly weakened.
Warlock
For Warlocks, not much changes. “Demon Skin” has been slightly nerfed in its effectiveness.
Demonology Warlocks receive only tooltip revisions and changes to talent names to make them clearer.
Destruction Warlocks receive small buffs. Ruin no longer increases the damage of “Channel Demonfire”; instead, the spell generally deals 20% more damage. Shadowburn also now deals 20% more damage.
Warrior
Warriors will only receive a few adjustments and bug fixes that should have minimal impact on gameplay.
Arms Warriors are pleased that “Bloodletting” will now cause “Deadly Strike” to inflict Wounded on targets with less than 35% health.
Otherwise, primarily the healing effects of the Warrior have been adjusted to be slightly less efficient regarding total HP. This is mainly because the maximum HP of all characters has increased by 25%.
For Priests, there are drastic adjustments.
Priest
For the Priest, there are numerous changes – some buffs and some nerfs. For instance, “Shadow Word: Death” now has a 10-second cooldown, while multiple control effects (Psychic Scream, Void Tendril) can now affect an unlimited number of targets.
Discipline Priests receive small buffs for their Divine Aegis and Power Word: Radiance; otherwise, it’s mainly bug fixes.
The changes to Shadow Priests are detailed further down, as they receive a major overhaul.
Holy Priests receive some changes to “Divine Image” such that only one Naaru is summoned, which becomes increasingly stronger. This way, the battlefield should no longer be cluttered with images.
The most significant changes are for the Shadow Priest specialization. Since the launch of Dragonflight, it hasn’t been working smoothly and is commonly associated with demanding, opaque gameplay with too many buttons. Blizzard now aims to address this.
The Shadow Priest will now generate their area damage solely through “Multi-Dotting,” thus the spell “Mind Explosion” is being completely removed. Instead, “Psychic Link” will become a new “Must Have,” as it duplicates the damage of all single-target abilities (except Shadow Word: Pain and Vampiric Touch) to some other targets.
In general, the further adjustments aim to allow the Priest to specialize in different aspects, such as:
Reduced cooldowns
Regular damage effects (dots)
Critical damage
Shadowy apparitions
Priests can also increase their maximum insanity to up to 150, allowing them to save more charges of “Devouring Plague” – the only ability that still consumes insanity.
However, it’s somewhat harsh that Shadow Priests will also lose their last vestiges of mobility and will likely fall behind other classes in fights with intense movement, as they can barely cast spells while moving.
The changes are provoking mixed reactions within the community. While some are pleased with a few simplifications, others criticize the peculiar paths Blizzard is taking for the Shadow Priest. It has become necessary in the talent tree to choose talents that come with negative properties and then remove them later through further talents.
What do you think of the adjustments to your class? Are you satisfied with what Blizzard is doing with your class?

MeinMMO editor Maik Schneider has been accompanying Call of Duty for over 3.5 years and had high hopes for Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2. 6 months and 2 major disappointments later, the shooter franchise has fewer players than after CoD Vanguard.
Call of Duty has been with me for about 15 years of my life. Before my work at MeinMMO, it was rather in the background noise. Since CoD MW 2019, it has been my job.
And it was really fun in 2020.
The reboot of Modern Warfare was very well received and ran steadily with high player numbers and much interest from the community for over six months. When we at MeinMMO noticed that interest was waning, suddenly CoD Warzone (and the Corona lockdown) came.
Call of Duty practically exploded.
Publisher Activision then celebrated the peak in Q1 2021. In the quarterly report, they were able to celebrate 150 million “Monthly Active Users” (MAUs). To this day, the highest value for Activision in such a report. But since then, things have been declining.
And if you ask me, CoD is currently having its worst year in a long time.
MW2: Big name, but fewer players than in the Vanguard era
Why is the current year so bad? Let’s first look at the bare numbers. The latest report does show strong revenue figures – CoD was able to increase nearly 30% in the comparison period (via activision.com).
But the player numbers tell a different story:
As of March 31, 2022, the report counted 100 million MAUs
As of March 31, 2023, the report counted 98 million MAUs
The numbers are still impressive compared to other games. The report provides a context. The business segment “Blizzard” with its big titles WoW, Diablo, and Overwatch had 27 million MAUs in March 2023.
However, the fact that Call of Duty currently has fewer players than in the Q1-2022 report already indicates that something went wrong this year.
At least with Modern Warfare 2, we got the successor from CoD MW 2019 that fans demanded and achieved a record release. With Warzone 2, a new version of the mega-successful Battle Royale also came.
What happened there? Let’s forget the numbers and look at the situation from a player’s perspective. Someone like me, who tends to get hyped and actually looks forward to a new Call of Duty every year.
For me, it was the worst year in a long time, and it was due to the technical condition.
The first days of CoD MW2 were plagued by a nasty social bug. You could only invite friends awkwardly and after almost every match, someone was kicked from the group. In addition, the shooter started completely without a stats menu – a standard feature was simply missing at release.
Bugs in the game still sometimes cause me to close MW2 immediately after starting. More often, Call of Duty reminds me to buy Modern Warfare 2 in order to play it. But I have owned it since release. My teammates have similar issues.
Then Warzone 2 came and brought server problems.
Here too, my hype was stifled in its infancy. In the first weeks, we had only a few matches without problems. The connection fluctuated, battles were affected, and frustration rose. Warzone 2 ended for me even faster than CoD MW2.
My research in the community showed me that many players were struggling with similar issues. Additionally, there were contentious design decisions regarding the user interface and gameplay.
Since the delay of Season 2 in February, things have been improving – at least from a technical standpoint. The thing is: we had a similar situation a year before.
Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 needed a release delay.
Both games built hype but were technically untidy and didn’t provide enough (new) content right after the release to remain motivating. With Shipment and Shoot House, CoD MW2 didn’t even get new maps in Season 1, but rather reworks.
I think: even after CoD Vanguard, the sharp decline in player numbers was not only due to the setting, which was controversially discussed. It was due to the state of the game, and we have exactly the same problem this year.
