Just over 24 hours after the release on iOS and Android, the PC version of Diablo Immortal came to the Battle.net launcher. The version launches as a beta and fails to convince many fans – we showcase the problems and developer statements regarding the PC version on MeinMMO.
However, the version for PC has issues. Missing settings options, control problems, and stress when connecting controllers: Many players believe there is still a lot to catch up on for the PC.
With which errors some players struggle and what the developers say about the release of the PC version, you will find out here on MeinMMO.
You can find an overview of the 6 classes with gameplay in our video:

Diablo Immortal: Stress with the PC Version
What problems does the PC version cause? Looking shortly after the release at reddit or the official Blizzard forum, it quickly becomes clear that there is a lot of frustration surrounding the state of the PC beta of Diablo Immortal – alongside the criticism of character-bound microtransactions.
For example, there is the reddit thread “The PC version is a joke” with over 200 comments (via reddit).
The thread creator lists the following problems:
No UI adjustments possible
No options for resolution
Problems with inventory management
UI controls are awful
No details when hovering over UI elements with the mouse
In the thread, there is a lot of support for this, but also considerable backlash. Commentators point out that this is a beta version for PC. This group questions where the high expectations for the beta come from, for a PC port of a mobile game.
Another major problem is considered to be the controls – there are issues with mouse and keyboard, but also the controller support has problems.
With the mouse, certain elements like portals or quest interactions are hard to interact with, and also in combat, selecting enemies for primary attacks in some cases is a matter of luck.
With controller support, there are problems because the stick control is sometimes extremely inaccurate. The cursor often goes far past the target or there is stick drift.
However, this also depends on your controller – we also had issues in the editorial office with controllers that use an Xbox control scheme. PlayStation controllers did not have this problem. A solution can also be found on reddit (via reddit).
Developers say: It’s a beta and mobile comes first
What do the developers say about this? Even before the release, Game Director Wyatt Cheng tried to manage expectations for the PC release. He emphasized even then: It is a beta for the PC port – the focus is clearly on the mobile version.
Cheng had already predicted that …
Bugs will occur in the PC beta
There may be problems with the controls
There will be no UI scaling at launch
The goal of the PC version is to deliver a better experience than using emulators that bring the mobile game to PC through emulation. It is not meant to be a PC Diablo.
Actual bugs and errors, like the issue with controllers, will certainly get a fix soon. But for “Quality of Life” changes, the mobile version takes precedence, and it remains to be seen how far the developers will go to accommodate players.
What are your experiences in this regard? Are you also frustrated with the PC version, or do you think perhaps the expectations for the beta are partly too high? Feel free to leave us a comment on the topic.
In FIFA 22 the Prime Gaming Pack 8 is still missing after several weeks of delay. What is the status of the free packs?
What is the Prime Gaming Pack? For some time now, Prime Gaming members can secure a so-called “Prime Gaming Pack” once a month. There are no additional costs if you have a membership, and it can then be redeemed in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team.
In the past, these packs often contained a loan player, some gold cards, and even player picks. So a nice addition when you want to improve your team in Ultimate Team.
However, the current “Prime Gaming Pack 8” has been missing for several weeks.
Amazon and EA are investigating the issue with the Prime Gaming Pack
This is the status: So far, the Prime Gaming Pack 8, which was supposed to be released in May, is still unavailable. In fact, FIFA 22 cannot be accessed at all when searching for it on the Prime Gaming site. Only if you go through Google Search can you find the page – and there still the announcement that the eighth pack will be “available soon.”
Meanwhile, both Amazon and EA have addressed the issue via social media. However, there is still no new timing for the release.
This is what Amazon and EA say: Through the official “Prime Gaming” account on Twitter, Amazon has reached out to the waiting players. They write there: “To all FIFA 22 players, unfortunately, the May Prime Gaming Pack has been delayed while the team investigates an issue. We are working on it and will keep you updated.”
EA also seems to be working on the problem but has no solution yet. The current update from the official “EA Help” account on Twitter regarding this states: “There was a technical issue that has prevented the release of Pack #8. Please continue to check the Prime page to see when it will be added. As of now, we have no date or time for you” (via Twitter).

FIFA 22: 10 helpful tips that will improve your gameplay
It seems to be a bigger problem that is not easily solved. Players could really use any extra pack right now, during the TOTS event.
Because firstly, they give a small chance to pull a TOTS player, and secondly, they can provide cards to solve one of the many event SBCs.
As soon as it is known when the new pack will be released, we will keep you updated here.
Otherwise, you can still secure rewards through the current weekly objectives. However, some players are complaining that the tasks in FIFA 22 are simply too extensive.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
21-year-old Australian Jonah “Isles” Rosario played professionally in the playoffs of League of Legends for Cloud9, which is considered one of the best teams in the USA, in April 2022. However, the playoffs did not go well. Isles was fired in May – now his life in the USA is at risk of collapsing: Without a job, he cannot stay in the country. He has put down roots in the USA, where he has a cat and a girlfriend.
Who is Isles?
Jonah “Isles” Rosario is an Australian who made a name for himself in the “Oceanic” region as a teenager. He even qualified for the Worlds 2020. Australia is a small region in LoL, but still sends a team to the Worlds.
At the end of 2020, during the Corona pandemic, Isles made the move to the academy team of one of the best US teams, Cloud9, as a young support talent. Isles also had the opportunity to switch to a weaker team and play directly in the professional league, but he wanted to take his time after another Australian failed to make the jump “directly to the LCS”.
At Cloud9, he first got a spot on the academy team in 2020 and played there for a year.
In April 2022, the breakthrough came – After 2 years in the USA
This was his breakthrough: At the end of 2021, Cloud9 made a bold fresh start. A new coach wanted to expand the roster: As part of this plan, Isles was brought up from the academy team and allowed to play on the professional team, sharing the spot as a supporter with the South Korean Winsome. The Korean Winsome was in the starting lineup, but Isles was used in training matches, the scrims, and occasionally got a chance to play for real.
His contract was extended until 2024.
Indeed, Isles was there when it mattered. Things were not going well with Winsome in the playoffs; communication with the South Korean proved to be difficult, and Cloud9 gave Isles a chance: In his 5th game as a pro, he played in a playoff match for Cloud9, did well, and secured victory for his team on a big stage. In an interview with Dexerto, he says:
„You can hear the crowd screaming. It’s a rush. It feels great when that happens.”
After giving Isles a chance as a pro, he performed. His coach said about him: With Isles as a supporter, the team would play better in training matches, and communication flowed smoother. On April 8, Cloud9 announced: Isles would now replace Winsome as the starting supporter (via inven).
With Isles instead of Winsome in the lineup, Cloud9 was able to win a playoff series against the Golden Guardians even 3-0. With champions like Leona and Lux, Isles delivered impressive statistics: On April 10, 2022, it seemed as if Isles was finally the new supporter for one of the best teams in the USA.
Tyler1 does not have such worries as a Twitch streamer; his career is secure:

How the Worst Troll from Twitch Became the Face of League of Legends
A month after the breakthrough, the dismissal came
This was the end: As Isles says, he was dismissed in May 2022 without much explanation along with Park “Summit” Woo-tae and the other supporter Kim “Winsome” Dong-keon.
The manager told me basically that C9 wanted to make a change, and that was pretty much it. They didn’t give me any further information – actually just said that they wanted to make a move. I wasn’t really explained why exactly. There was no farewell talk with a coach or anything like that.
Since the dismissal comes after half a season and Isles is now teamless in the midst of the LoL year, he views his chances of finding a new job in the US critically. Isles is upset, having just received the chance to prove himself in the LCS, and believes he can keep up well.
The CEO of Cloud9 does not give him much hope. He stated on Twitter that they had tried to give the 3 players away for free to other teams – but no one wanted Isles or the two South Koreans.

On May 3 – just a month after things were going well, his career was over.
Without a job, Isles’ visa is expiring – the countdown is ticking
This is now Isles’ problem: Without a job in the USA, he cannot stay in the country. He has already put down roots in the USA, has a girlfriend in the USA and a cat named Penny. He is reluctant to ship her halfway across the world to Australia.
On May 14, his visa expires – then he has 30 days left to find a new team, the 21-year-old writes on Twitter. He will look at every offer from every region, he writes. Although he obviously prefers to play for a US team.
As Dexerto writes, he has to vacate his apartment as he can no longer afford it.

As Isles says, his visa expires on May 14. Then he has 30 days left to find a new team.
Isles seems to be struggling with his situation. He is considering how his career would have gone if he had decided for a starting spot in the LCS instead of spending a year in the academy team.
He is also upset that he only had such a short time to play professionally and to make a name for himself:
I think I should have replaced Winsome after 4 weeks if people had looked more closely at the training matches. I think they were too hesitant to make a decision, and the people with the most power didn’t necessarily have the greatest knowledge of the situation.
Isles
What lies behind it: Isles’ example shows how unstable and difficult life can be as a esports player. Ultimately, a few games and distant forces determine the well-being of the young player. At his age and with such a short career, Isles had no opportunity to build financial reserves to absorb such a setback.
The peak of his life as an athlete and the defeat that led to his dismissal were only 7 days apart. The consequences are huge, and the future prospects seem bleak:
It seems increasingly attractive for teams to keep the next 19-year-old and start “fresh” rather than to recruit someone who has already gained some experience.
A colleague of Isles has gone through a similar fate:
Diablo Immortal has launched on iOS, Android, and PC. In the chat, many unpleasant individuals are causing trouble. MeinMMO shows you how to easily disable the chat preview so you can play more comfortably.
With Diablo Immortal, Blizzard’s first MMO has launched in the world of Sanctuary. However, many users are upset about the in-game chat. There is cursing and racist remarks being thrown around here. If this annoys you terribly, you can easily turn off the chat.
As of now (as of June 3, 2022), the menus look uniform on both mobile and PC.
What do I need to consider? Currently, you have to log into each of your characters and follow the steps in the guide. There is no overarching system where you can simply turn off the chat for all characters.
Diablo Immortal: How to turn off chat – It’s done in a few steps
This is the first step: First, log into your character. Once you’re in the game, select the burger menu in the upper right corner. On PC, you can simply press Escape. Here, select the gear icon, also in the upper right corner.
In the upper right corner, select the burger menu and choose the gear for settings.
This is the second step: In the settings, select the Chat tab and then all the important settings related to the chat.
In the settings, select the sub-item ‘Chat’.
This is the third step: In the ‘Chat’ section, you can now disable the entire chat preview. To do this, uncheck all boxes for the channels. After that, the section at the bottom of the screen will disappear.
However, the chat is still there, only the preview is turned off. If you tap on the chat window, the entire chat with all subgroups opens. The preview at the bottom now remains empty. Once you log into your character again, the remaining messages from the preview will also be gone.
In this menu, you then uncheck all boxes for ‘Channels in the chat preview’.

Diablo Immortal is still quite fresh and not long out. However, the best players in the world are already significantly differentiating themselves from the average gamers. We will tell you which builds the absolute Diablo professionals use – for each class.
David “Viion” Jang, who writes for the website invenglobal.com, has scoured the global leaderboards in Diablo Immortal for the currently best players in the world (as of June 2, 2022). He discovered them on Korean servers.
Here we present their builds, for every class. This way, you can already recognize which skills you should use and prioritize early on.
In our video, we also briefly introduce each class, with gameplay:

Diablo Immortal: All 6 Classes in Brief Overview with Gameplay
Diablo Immortal: The best builds for Barbarians
The primary attack Flesh Wound is highly favored by the best Barbarians in the world, but Frenzy is also a popular choice. Since speed is an extremely important factor in Challenge Rifts, the best players choose Sprint as a mobility skill. All three top Barbarians also use the Hammer of the Ancients.

Diablo Immortal: The best builds for Wizards
The best Wizards in the world mostly use Lightning Strike as primary attack. The choice often falls on Arcane Wind and Meteor. The top 3 Wizards in the leaderboards also frequently select Teleport for more mobility. The Black Hole is also a popular skill for the currently best Wizards.

Diablo Immortal: The best builds for Demon Hunters
The best Demon Hunters generally choose Crossbow Shot as their main attack. Otherwise, all three top players utilize Vengeance, Multi-Shot was also able to establish itself as an early favorite. The other skills vary among players. This build diversity also emphasizes why we see Demon Hunter as an S-Tier class.

Diablo Immortal: The best builds for Crusaders
In the leaderboards, one Crusader has clearly solidified itself as the best build. He used Punish as primary attack, alongside Cleave, Holy Banner, and Slash. The other Crusaders selected Shield Charge as a skill.

Diablo Immortal: The best builds for Monks
The best Monks seem to agree: Fists of Thunder is the best primary skill. Additionally, all three top players have Cyclone Strike, Seven-Sided Strike, and Exploding Palm. However, the choice of the last skill slot varies among the top Monks. Each utilizes Mystic Strike, Wave of Light, and Mystic Allies.

On June 2, at 7:00 PM, the highly anticipated MMO Diablo Immortal was released and can be played for free by anyone who owns a mobile phone (or a PC). But should you even play the game? In the short MeinMMO check, you will find out if Diablo Immortal is something for you.
What is Diablo Immortal? Originally presented at BlizzCon as a pure mobile game for smartphones and mobile phones, Diablo Immortal initially received a lot of backlash from the community. However, it is now known that you can also play the new Diablo on PC. The first beta testers are also enthusiastic about the game and the fans are increasingly engaging with it.
Some of the basic features of Diablo Immortal include:
A solo campaign that can also be experienced together
PvE and PvP content for 4 to 8 players
Clans with up to 100 members
6 German servers at launch, but no German voiceover
6 different classes and early hints of a 7th.
Raids for up to 48 players
Familiar content from Diablo, such as Rifts, bounties, and Paragon levels
When and where exactly does Diablo Immortal launch? On Thursday, June 2, at 7:00 PM, the servers for the MMO are supposed to go live. Then you can play the game on Android, iOS, and PC. Here, however, the PC already has a first advantage, as you can download Diablo Immortal via BattleNet right now, so you can jump right in.
There will be no preload for the mobile versions of the game. Nonetheless, the developers promise that Diablo Immortal has been built with the “smartphone-first” idea in mind. This means that you can experience the game on PC and also use crossplay and cross-save features, but it is primarily a game for Android and iOS.
To give you a quick overview, we have prepared 10 statements for you. If you answer 8 of them with “Yes,” Diablo Immortal is definitely interesting for you. If you are still unsure or can affirm fewer statements, there is a summary below of what you can expect in Diablo Immortal.
I have no problem with a real-money shop that makes my life easier
I want to play a Diablo game with a lot of players
In general, I feel at home in MMOs
I play regularly on mobile devices
I find PvP acceptable as long as I am not forced into it
I have long wished for a Diablo that leans more towards MMORPG
I get annoyed if I have to play multiple characters to see everything
I love loot and like to see lots of loot drops
I want to experience more challenging content in an action combat system
I enjoy searching for the perfect gear for a long time and refining my build

Diablo Immortal – What’s inside?
Why should I check this out? Especially fans of the previous Diablo titles should also take a look at Immortal, but it’s not just the previous fans that the mobile MMO attracts. Immortal is further moving towards being an MMORPG than its predecessors and could therefore also be interesting for fans of this genre.
But what do you actually do there all day? The gameplay experience of Diablo Immortal focuses on the following content:
A campaign of about ten hours and even more story that you can discover in the world
Rifts and bounties that do not only appear in the endgame but accompany you even while leveling
Dungeons for 4 players
Raids at various difficulties for 8 players
Special raids where the so-called Immortal can fight with 48 players
Completely optional PvP designed for clans and groups
The Cycle of Strife: What is this, you may ask? Rightly so. Because behind the initially rather strange name lies the biggest feature of Diablo Immortal. In the Cycle of Strife, two factions are constantly fighting against each other. The ruling Immortals and the Shadows, who try to overthrow them. In this process, the respective clans battle in huge PvP battles.
The Immortals must be overthrown to become one themselves
In this scenario, the Shadows can attempt to overthrow the Immortals once a week. If they win enough rounds, they can attack the Immortal’s boss. This leads to an epic battle where a player from the Immortals actually becomes the raid boss. In a 30 against 1 battle, the Immortal must then be defeated, which gains incredibly strong abilities to defend itself.
If the Shadows manage to overthrow the Immortals, they will become the new Immortals. As such, you will also have access to special dungeons and 48-player raids.
Immortal reshapes the class system
How do the classes work? Here one immediately thinks of an MMORPG, namely Final Fantasy XIV. In Immortal, you only need one character and can play every available class with this one. However, it doesn’t work as simply as you might be used to in other MMORPGs.
More details about the classes of Diablo Immortal in our video:

The system requirements of Diablo Immortal
How and where can you play? On most common PCs and smartphones, Diablo Immortal should run quite smoothly. We will show you once again what exactly you need at a minimum to play the MMO.

The leaks leading up to a State of Play are always a bit of a thing. A particular leak went around the internet and promised trailers for CoD MW2, Street Fighter 6 or a “PS VR2” trailer for Resident Evil Village. You can view our article on this here.
However, the first teaser for Horizon: Call of the Mountain from PlayStation makes the leaked sequence less likely – the title was not on the list of the leak.
However, there are still some further rumors and expectations for the State of Play June 2022:
Story trailer for Final Fantasy 16

PSVR 2 could get a release date

Is there a Steam release for CoD: MW 2? It’s not one hundred percent certain yet, but there is a new hint that the series could be returning to Steam.
CoD: MW 2 released a new teaser that has been well received by many fans and was even shared on Steam via Twitter. The official Twitter account on Steam simply reposted the new trailer with a big eye emoji.
This fits with the recent rumors that CoD: Modern Warfare 2 might be the first Call of Duty to appear on Steam in a long time.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II “Ultimate Team” Teaser
Only towards the end does the music swell – precisely when the light breaks through the open doors of the transport vehicle and the team heads into battle.
In the comments, the brief but atmospheric video is well received:
“I loved the campaign of the first game. I have a feeling this game will be even better,” says one user (via YouTube).
“This will be the dark and moody experience we’ve come to know and love,” agrees another fan (via YouTube).
“Just seeing the team got me excited again, and I’ve been skeptical about CoD for years” (via YouTube).
What is already known about MW 2? So far, there is little information about the game. What is certain is that the game will be a sequel to the 2019 reboot.
It will focus on familiar characters Simon “Ghost” Riley, Captain John Price, Kyle “Gaz” Garrick, John “Soap” MacTavish, and newcomer Alejandro Vargas.
After many have been able to start on mobile, the PC release of Diablo Immortal is now upon us. Will it run smoothly? Blizzard has already announced that some issues are known.
Update 18:40:The PC client went live a few minutes earlier than planned. You can now play Diablo Immortal. If the button is still grayed out for you, restart the Battle.net client.
When does Diablo Immortal launch on PC? The official time for the PC release of Diablo Immortal is Thursday, June 02, 2022, at 7:00 PM. However, the PC version went live a few minutes earlier.
However, Blizzard emphasizes that today’s PC release of Immortal is still an “open beta” for the client. Therefore, expect a game that is still in progress and not fully finished.
That’s why Blizzard reached out to players in advance to clarify where issues might be expected.
In general, Blizzard explains that they want to collect feedback in the phase after the release to further improve and modify the game. Therefore, the list of issues should not be seen as final, it could still grow.
These issues Diablo Immortal may have at PC release

Diablo Immortal: All 6 Classes in Brief Overview with Gameplay
For now, Blizzard expects the following issues with the PC version (via blizzard):
Gameplay: According to Blizzard, inaccuracies could still occur here, especially with movements, skills, and interactions. Additionally, the “Print” key does not save screenshots correctly in the game directory.
Controls: The ESC key can open the main menu over other menus. Moreover, the modifier keys ALT, CTRL, and SHIFT are not yet supported in the key mapping. If that bothers you: You can also play Immortal with a controller.
UI: You cannot resize the game window when using windowed mode. Some elements in the chat are currently missing, such as slash commands, copy, paste, and selecting all text.
Accessibility: The text-to-speech transcription may not work for some languages.
Further issues are currently not included in the list. However, it is possible that these will still grow after the release.
How does Blizzard handle errors? According to the statement, the list will be updated, so they apparently want to be transparent about potential issues. Furthermore, Blizzard intends to use patches and hotfixes to address problems – and to keep track of these in the list as well.
Hotfixes are expected to be used more frequently and will not require large downloads, while patches will require data downloads. In that case, the game will need to be updated.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are the upcoming 9th generation of the “Pokémon” series, and there are already over 900 Pokémon even without them. But a little piggy is currently winning the hearts of fans at lightning speed. This is not least due to the English version of its name: Lechonk. What’s behind it is explained by MeinMMO.
What kind of Pokémon is this? Lechonk, or Ferkuli in German, was introduced in the latest trailer for the new editions Scarlet and Violet. It is a small, black, and chubby piglet with yellow eye rings.
It is a Normal type and resembles a small version of a truffle pig. Ferkuli even has a special sense for rich berries and fragrant grasses. The official Pokémon website states that it may look fat, but its body is mostly made of muscle.
Here you can watch the latest trailer for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet featuring Ferkuli:

Out of Context Pokémon could hardly believe it either, earning about 25,000 retweets and almost 200,000 likes with their tweet, in which they wrote ‘They called him Lechonk, LMFAO’.
In the subreddit ‘pokemonmemes’, many fans created the wildest images (memes) about the new piglet. Reddit user Axirev even put a beret on Ferkuli and gave it a baguette:

But why is the name Lechonk such a hit? The community breaks down the name into two parts: ‘Le’ and ‘chonk’. Chonk/chonky is humorously derived from the English word ‘chunk’ or ‘chunky’, which means fat, bulky, or clump.
Chonky or chonk is lovingly used in meme culture to describe fat animals, especially chubby cats. The subreddit Chonkers is the perfect example of this. There, images of fat cats are constantly posted.
The word ‘Le’ is simply the French word for ‘The’.
What are memes? Memes are usually images, GIFs, or short videos that predominantly contain humorous content. Sometimes they are also satirical, which is why they are occasionally seen as socially critical.
Where does the name Lechonk actually come from? Lechonk actually comes from the Spanish term “Lechón”, which simply means a suckling pig.
As announced today, Amazon Games is collaborating with developer studio Disruptive Games on a new action-adventure focused on online multiplayer. Not much has been revealed yet, but what we know is shared here on MeinMMO.
What is known so far? After New World and Lost Ark, Amazon announces the next big online adventure. Together with the developers from Disruptive Games, a brand new IP is being created.
This is an “online multiplayer action-adventure.” It will be a multi-platform title that focuses on cooperative and competitive gameplay.
There are 2 images with concept art:
Mobile game with survival elements?
What could this game be? Currently, it is still completely unclear what type of game this is. More information will come later.
However, based on some statements from responsible parties and the information known so far, possible conclusions can already be drawn:
Mobile game
It is only a concept art – but in a vertically oriented image, mobile bells start ringing immediately. The hint at the “multi-platform title” can also be interpreted that way. Similar to Diablo Immortal, this new game could also run on PC and mobile, perhaps even on consoles.
Survival elements
The images depict typical survival mechanics, such as a character carrying a pickaxe and a campfire that perhaps provides warmth but definitely provides food.
Rust sends regards
Firearms can also be discovered. Therefore, it could be a survival game with a large PvP component like Rust, where players fight over scarce resources on a large map and defend their base.
The Forest also sends regards
The hints at an action-adventure also suggest that the world invites exploration and tells a story. The Forest demonstrated how to implement something like this in a cooperative game – Amazon could even incorporate PvP. By the way, a sequel to The Forest is in the works.
“Disruptive” ideas
At Disruptive Games, the name is program. They want to “question the traditional rules of game design and game development.”
Christoph Hartmann, Vice President of Amazon Games, adds: “Disruptive Games brings fresh air into the genre of multiplayer action-adventures, with strong game design and rich worldbuilding.”
What exactly lies behind the project is still uncertain. However, the developers at Disruptive Games have already gained quite a bit of experience and have implemented the following projects:
Godfall – created ability effects
Diablo 2: Resurrected – online service
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 – multiplayer integration

Eventually, you can play Diablo Immortal on your phone. You can make it easier for yourself when you use a controller. MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann has tested two devices for mobile and explains why they are much better than the touchscreen.
Diablo Immortal aims to bring the typical hack-and-slash gameplay to mobile devices. You can smash plenty of enemies and then collect loot.
On mobile, you can control your character either with the touchscreen of your phone or with a controller. How old your phone can be for Diablo Immortal, you can read it on MeinMMO.
Two controllers are currently among my absolute favorites because you can connect them directly to your phone. This way, the controllers take up less space than if you reach for an Xbox or PlayStation controller. I tested the controllers with a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (6.4 inches) and the Note 10+ (6.8 inches). My two devices fit perfectly in the featured controllers.
Annoying is that for certain inputs in the menus of Diablo Immortal, you need the thumbstick to navigate through the menus like with a finger. Here it’s convenient that your fingers are not far from the screen.
The Razer Kishi is a good all-rounder when it’s on sale
What kind of controller is this? The Razer Kishi is a controller into which you clamp your phone in the middle. You then connect the phone directly via the USB-C or Lightning connector. This way, the controller also doesn’t need a battery, but you cannot use the headphone jack. Razer does not specify the size in inches, instead, it provides dimensions (145.3 – 163.7 mm x 68.2 – 78.1 mm x 7.0 – 8.8 mm).
What is good about it? The controller is very compact and suitable for travel luggage. Neither I (big hands) nor my girlfriend (small hands) had trouble reaching any buttons. The setup works without problems, and it is recognized directly by the game and the phone. Since I have played on PC with an Xbox controller before, I feel at home with it right away.
The controller also offers a USB-C port. Once your phone is connected, you can charge your phone while in use.
The Razer Kishi. It is small and practical.
What isn’t so great? The build quality doesn’t always convince me. Razer primarily uses plastic. The two halves of the controller are connected with a kind of leather strap. This works flawlessly. Other manufacturers use a stable attachment on the back. I find the grip tiring after a while and not entirely ergonomically sound. My girlfriend did not have this problem.
For whom is the controller recommended? If you’re looking for a good all-rounder that works for various games besides Diablo Immortal, then take a look at the Razer Kishi. It’s best to buy it for 50 – 60 euros. It is simply too expensive at the regular price of around 110 euros.
However, note that Razer sells a separate device for both Apple and Android devices. The device for Android uses USB-C, so you cannot use it on an iPhone.

The Nacon MG-X Pro offers great ergonomics but may not always have precise buttons
What kind of controller is this? The MG-X Pro is also a device where you clamp your phone in the middle. However, the controller uses Bluetooth as the connection, and you need to charge the controller regularly. The MG-X Pro is suitable for phones up to 6.7 inches. My Galaxy Note 10+ is officially 0.1 inches too big but still fits in the controller.
What is good about it? The ergonomics feel very pleasant due to the shaped and textured grips. I could play for a whole afternoon without any issues. Both my girlfriend and I could easily reach all the buttons. On an Android device, the controller sets up easily and is recognized directly by Diablo Immortal. Unlike the Kishi, the phone is held by a bridge between the two controller halves in the MG-X Pro. I like this better and it promises security for my device. The battery life held up well for several days, but I also played only a few hours in the evening.
The Nacon MG-X Pro. It is quite bulky and requires more space than the Razer Kishi.
What isn’t so great? On iOS, we had issues connecting the controller directly, and it didn’t work right away. Overall, it is bulkier than the Kishi and doesn’t easily fit into travel luggage. In purely single-player games, you hardly notice the latency of Bluetooth, while in online games, it’s more noticeable. However, I didn’t feel the delay as strongly as with the streaming service GeForce Now in Diablo Immortal.
The thumbsticks of the controller feel somewhat spongy at times. With the Sorceress, for example, you have to position your spells precisely if you want to hit all enemies. The D-pad is the better partner for aiming in that case.
For whom is the controller recommended? If you are looking for an ergonomic controller that you can connect flexibly with any device, the MG-X Pro is definitely a recommendation. However, at 90 euros, the device is expensive, but it is already cheaper than the Kishi at the MSRP and seems better built due to the bridge.
Everything you need to know about Diablo Immortal – in 3 minutes
Razer Kishi or Nacon MG-X Pro?
Which controller should I choose? Personally, I really like both controllers and I have played various games on my phone with both devices. If you do not want to spend more than 60 euros at the current time (June 2, 2022), then go for the Razer Kishi. Because you can currently get the Razer device for around 50 euros.
If you prefer to be flexible because you use different devices or if your family has both Android and Apple devices, then go for the Nacon MG-X Pro. With Razer, you would otherwise have to buy two different devices since the USB-C connector does not fit on your iPhone.
Nacon MG-X Pro and Razer Kishi in comparison. Both use the Xbox design
What other alternatives are there? An alternative to comprehensive controllers would be a clip that allows you to attach an already purchased Xbox or PlayStation controller to your phone. I personally think that this makes the phone look quite bulky, but it’s definitely a cheap alternative if you only want to play at home.

Do you really want to finally buy a PS5? Today you might have the opportunity at GameStop. MeinMMO presents you with all the important information for that.
Update June 2, 15:58: In the meantime, it seems that has been it. However, as there haven’t been any PS5 drops at GameStop for a year, it is still difficult to estimate whether some quotas or returns might be released again. We are, of course, keeping an eye on this for you!
It is still incredibly difficult to get a PS5. The last months were often characterized by prolonged droughts regarding PS5 drops and sales events.
Moreover, many retailers had already completely left the online business with the sought-after console last year and focused entirely on brick-and-mortar sales. So did GameStop for a long time. Recently, the retailer made a comeback with an online sale. The official Horizon Forbidden West bundle was sold.
What kind of PS5 package is GameStop selling today?
Didn’t get a PS5? If you haven’t gotten a PS5, it’s best to check our ticker. Here we keep you updated daily and explain how you can best get a PS5 and show you drops around the sought-after console.

On June 6th, the new Chapter High Isle for the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online will be released. However, you don’t have to wait that long. Today, you can start reaping rewards through ESO livestreams. How exactly you can do that, you will find out here at MeinMMO.
Which ESO live streams are we talking about? You can decide for yourself. You can choose from several ESO streamers to receive these rewards. The important thing is that the respective live stream is found under the ESO category on Twitch.
If you don’t know which channel currently has ESO streams, Twitch itself can help you. On the ESO Stream Team page on Twitch, you will find a long list of members of the official stream team. In principle, you can also receive drops from streamers not in this team.
The decisive factor is the ESO category and the tag “Drops enabled” below the video.
Why is it worth watching ESO live streams on Twitch?
It’s simple: Just for watching, you receive some items that will look great in your ESO collection.
What items will I get? In total, you can unlock several crown ouroboros chests. In addition, there is a companion, a costume, and even a mount. Here’s an overview of all the rewards:
Ghostly Housecat (peaceful companion)
Relentless Harvester (costume)
Sun Gold Bay Pureblood (mount)
3 x 2 Crown Ouroboros Chests
To really get all the rewards, you need to pay attention to when and how long you watch ESO streams.
What times do I need to watch? You need to keep an eye on the following time frames:
June 2nd – 9th: Watch for 4 hours – 2 x Crown Ouroboros Chests & Ghostly Housecat
June 10th – 15th: Watch for 4 hours – 2 x Crown Ouroboros Chests & Relentless Harvester
June 16th – 26th:
Watch for 4 hours – Ghostly Housecat
Watch for 6 hours – Relentless Harvester
Watch for 8 hours – Sun Gold Bay Pureblood (mount) & 2 x Crown Ouroboros Chests
At first glance, it may seem more complicated than it really is. You can receive 2 Crown Ouroboros Chests in each of the three time frames. So in total, that’s 6 Crown Ouroboros Chests. For the collectibles, you only strictly need to watch a total of 8 hours in the last time frame. However, you would miss out on 4 chests.
If you really want to get all the possible rewards, you need to proceed as follows:
June 2nd – 9th: Watch for 4 hours – 2 x Crown Ouroboros Chests & Ghostly Housecat
June 10th – 15th: Watch for 4 hours – 2 x Crown Ouroboros Chests & Relentless Harvester
June 16th – 26th: Watch for 8 hours – 2 x Crown Ouroboros Chests & Sun Gold Bay Pureblood (mount)
First, you must connect your Twitch account with your ESO account
But there is something you definitely need to pay attention to. You can really only receive the rewards if your accounts are connected. ESO needs to know that you’ve watched live streams on Twitch.
If you want to learn more about ESO, you might also find this interesting:
On the left in the account overview, you will find the point: linked accounts.
There is a purple Twitch button.
Connect the accounts by clicking the button.
Connected? Then you can start watching happily. You can keep track of your progress during viewing. Click on your profile in the upper right corner, and a menu will open. You will quickly see your progress in the middle. In the “Drops” category, you will find a bar that fills up proportionally.
What should I avoid? On some browsers, you should not mute the stream using the icons located in the picture area. However, you can mute your browser tab, and it still counts. Or you can just watch the stream without cheating. Maybe you will find a channel that you also want to visit outside of the event.
If you can’t get enough of the rewards even after this event, you can also focus on the ESO in-game events. You can find the latest news in our ESO Event Ticker 2022. Have fun collecting!

The Chinese Jian “Uzi” Zi-Hao is considered a legendary ADC in League of Legends, perhaps the mechanically best player of all time. He was a pro for 8 years – in 2020 he had to retire. His body couldn’t keep up anymore. In 2022 he wanted to give it another shot, but his comeback now ends without glory with his release. The team simply found a 19-year-old better.
Although Uzi was mechanically extraordinarily strong, he was always considered difficult and hot-tempered. He regularly quarreled with his supporter, got worked up in negative situations and somehow he always lacked a bit of discipline. Nevertheless, he was known for his gameplay with champions that have dash abilities, like Vayne, Caitlyn, or Ezreal. With them, he set standards.
In May 2020, Uzi surprisingly ended his career at the age of 23. He said at the time that his arms were broken, his body could no longer keep up. He also suffered from type 2 diabetes. He simply couldn’t do it anymore and needed to recover. It was assumed that his extreme click speed after 8 years as a pro made his arms feel like those of a man twice his age.
Weak team from China signs Uzi and 19-year-old ADC in December 2021
That was the comeback: In December 2021, Uzi was suddenly back: He wanted to play as ADC for the team “Bilibili Gaming”, a team at the lower end of the LPL. From the beginning, it was said that he should be used cautiously and was given breaks repeatedly.
The team played with a 6-man roster, the ADC position was doubly occupied: In addition to Uzi, they also had Doggo on the team. He is 6 years younger than Uzi.

Bilibili Gaming signed Uzi in December 2021 alongside the much younger ADC Doggo (Taiwan, 19).
How did the comeback go? It took until mid-February 2021 before Uzi played his first match.
Already in March 2022, the team announced that Uzi would take a break to focus on his fitness and work on synergy with the team.
19-year-old Doggo completely replaces Uzi now
This is how it ended: Ultimately, the experiment proved to be a failure. Uzi did not return from the break. Now, on June 1, the team announced that Uzi is leaving Bilibili Gaming.
Ultimately, Uzi only participated in 4 matches of the team, played a total of 9 matches – in China they play “Best of 3” series.
While he had a strong debut on Jinx. As Inven reports, he was not able to maintain the form and couldn’t stand against the 19-year-old Doggo (via invenglobal.com).
In the end, Uzi was only able to win one of the 4 series he played. Out of the 9 matches, he only secured 4.
Doggo, on the other hand, was involved in 43 matches and will now become the sole ADC of Bilibli-Gaming. They finished the last season in 8th place with 9-7 series and 20-18 games.
Upon his return to the LPL in February 2022, Uzi seemed to still have it all:

This is what it’s about: LoL really is a game for “young people”, at 23 you are considered old there. There are cases where players significantly older than Uzi have managed a comeback, but mostly in much weaker leagues: The LPL is known to be brutal.
It seems to be the same with LoL as it is with soccer: If players are known for their physical attributes, for their speed and athleticism, like Uzi, they struggle more as they age than players known for their game intelligence or positional play.
The big Pokémon GO Fest 2022 is just around the corner and brings you numerous spawns and Shinies. We at MeinMMO have looked at which monsters are particularly worth it and explain where you can find them.

With a moveset of Dragon Tail and Dragon Claw, Maxax also deals decent damage to the opponent. Therefore, it belongs to the 10 best Dragon attackers in the game.
Furthermore, Milotic is one of the Pokémon that you usually encounter very rarely in the game, which makes catching it during the GO Fest doubly rewarding.
Where can you get it for the GO Fest? Milotic will be available in Level 1 raids for all players on both event days. Additionally, it is expected to spawn in the “Plain” habitat on Saturday with some luck. Ticket holders will also receive it as an exclusive spawn through incense during this time.

Where can you get it for the GO Fest? Rotomurf spawns just like Larvitar during the first GO Fest day in the “Plain” habitat and then again on Sunday in the wild. This makes it accessible for all players as well.

This one can score with an even better attack than Mammoth Swine and also has a really fast attack combination consisting of Ice Fang and Avalanche. Therefore, it belongs to the best Ice attackers in the game.
Where can you get it for the GO Fest? Galar Flampion will be attracted exclusively by the incense of ticket holders in the “Tundra” habitat on Saturday. However, with some luck, it may also spawn in the wild during this time for players without a ticket.

Elias “eliasn97” Nerlich (24) is currently the biggest streamer on Twitch, founder and co-owner of the e-sports team FOKUS CLAN, and also successful on YouTube. MeinMMO presents the content creator.
It started like this: eliasn97 wanted to become a “football professional like everyone else,” according to his own statements. He had played football his whole life, but never made it to a professional career. Additionally, he sustained a serious leg injury during football training that required two surgeries – this led him to FIFA 17. From then on, his love for the game developed.
In August 2018, he was recruited by the football club Hertha BSC for the e-sports team for FIFA 19. Nerlich was discovered at the FUT Champions Cup in Barcelona, where he was among the best 64 players from November 2017.
On September 7, 2018, the then 20-year-old Nerlich introduced himself to his YouTube community in a high-quality trailer, although he stated that he was not doing it of his own accord, but because Hertha BSC insisted. Initially, his YouTube channel was supposed to focus solely on FIFA.

While he was active as an e-sports player, he also ran his YouTube and Twitch channel. Nerlich said he sometimes recorded until 5 AM, edited the video until 8 AM, and then had to go to appointments. It was important for him not to be negligent.
His YouTube channel was initially the only place where he streamed and uploaded videos, alongside platforms like Twitter and Instagram. He built a following of about 200,000 subscribers before deciding in April 2020 to also stream on Twitch.
He pursued his career as an e-sports player, was active on Twitch, YouTube, and all other social media channels, such as TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter.
How did he succeed on YouTube? On the one hand, consistency and engagement from eliasn97 helped. On the other hand, his personality, openness, and his contact with well-known personalities and the resulting interesting videos.
Nerlich was known in his community not to be the calmest FIFA player and would often get loudly frustrated when things didn’t go as he had hoped.
Additionally, he had close contact with professional football players, like his best friend Sidney Friede. Together, they produced various videos in which they talked about life as a professional, opened FIFA packs, or simply played for PSN cards.

He also actively interacted with his community by streaming himself opening his viewers’ FIFA rewards. This ran as a series on his YouTube channel for an extended period.
In August 2020, he started posting videos about tournaments of Fall Guys and Mario Kart, hosted by Twitch streamers Trymacs and MontanaBlack, but it still mainly revolved around FIFA.
How much did eliasn97 earn? According to his own statements, the 24-year-old earned at least 10,000 euros a month in 2020. His best earnings were 45,000 euros in a month. Both amounts were gross and accounted for both his e-sports career as well as his earnings from Twitch and YouTube.
The path to becoming the most successful Twitch streamer in Germany
How did he start on Twitch? By building a solid following on YouTube, he launched in April 2020 directly with around 3,100 average viewers on Twitch. However, he offered less FIFA there and focused more on Just Chatting streams where he interacted with his audience.
Since then, his numbers have consistently increased. Although he dropped in June 2021 regarding his average viewers, there were still close to 15,000. Moreover, he quickly recovered from that in the following months.
eliasn97’s average viewer numbers in overview (via SullyGnome.com)
There was a rapid increase in his viewership especially from October 2020 to January 2021. During this time, he primarily streamed the Steam hit Among Us and FIFA 21, which released in October. He also mentioned that the COVID-19 period helped his streams.
Moreover, the frequency of his streams increased during that period. He streamed only 7 days in October and 15 days in January. He expanded this until he was streaming almost daily.
He frequently collaborated with other well-known streamers like MontanaBlack, Trymacs, or his FIFA buddies.
This is Twitch streamer and YouTuber eliasn97 in 2022
How does it look on Twitch? Currently, he reaches about 27,500 viewers on average with his live broadcasts, placing him ahead of the formerly biggest streamer in Germany, and now he is number 1 on Twitch. Recently, Nerlich celebrated 1 million followers on the platform.
How does it look on YouTube? It’s going similarly well. At the moment, Nerlich has 825,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel and garners between 7.8 and 10.1 million video views monthly.
There, it’s not just FIFA anymore, but also Valorant, Fortnite, or other games together with other content creators.
Why is there hardly any FIFA on YouTube anymore? eliasn97 talked in a longer video about how he only wants to play Career Mode and Squad Builder Battle, but nothing else. He said, ‘EA isn’t doing anything anyway – the game is completely messed up.’ The streamer expressed his frustration over the poor pulls from packs, stating that it wasn’t like that in the past.
In FIFA Ultimate Team, there is also the Weekend League, which Nerlich claimed had dramatically declined and is no longer fun for him. The Weekend League is the arena in FIFA Ultimate Team where the best of the best compete against each other with custom-built teams.

What about e-sports? Since August 2021, eliasn97 is no longer an e-sports player at Hertha BSC and founded his own team – the FOKUS CLAN. Together with Dennis Andreas Nirtl and Martin Wyss, he leads the e-sports team. So far, they have often placed successfully between rank 9 and 16 in FIFA tournaments.
And also in Valorant, things are looking good so far. Within 90 days, the FOKUS Valorant team qualified for the highest league in Europe (via Twitter).
How much does eliasn97 earn nowadays? Besides Twitch, his team, YouTube, and more, the streamer also owns a fashion brand together with his friend Sidney Friede, which also seems to generate decent revenue. He mentioned that after nearly a year in business, they earned about 10 million euros.
Although Nerlich didn’t disclose how much he earns from the rest, he stated in a January 2022 interview that he “probably never needs to work again.”
For 6 years, there has been a bug in Path of Exile that has finally been resolved after years of seeking a solution. The developer who ultimately managed to fix the bug provides insights into the “hunt” for the problem in a “Dev Blog” post and explains why he will not forget the bug anytime soon.
What bug is it? The bug that has puzzled the developers of Path of Exile for years has become known as “Mangled Text” – in German, this roughly translates to “Verstümmelter Text”. A look at the consequences of the bug shows that this name is fitting.
If you now believe that a text bug is harmless, imagine the following: You read an article on MeinMMO about the new expansion of Path of Exile, but instead of normal letters, various symbols are displayed in the middle of a sentence or a word, which replace the actual letters. Perhaps multiple letters or even whole words and paragraphs are stacked on top of each other.
The article would be unreadable, and it would be significantly harder to understand what the author is trying to convey. In a game, this would mean that the quest, the skill tree, or even story-relevant conversations would be incomprehensible.
In the following image, you can see an example of the curious bug that presents the terms “E-Mail” and “Password” in a very unusual way, reminiscent of the worst font in the world:
The Mangled Text Bug devastates entire texts
The Spectacular Mangled Text Bug
Why is the bug so spectacular? The bug is near infamous among the developers of Path of Exile. The first report of the bug surfaced in 2016, and over the years, many more followed.
The bug existed for years, and before it was resolved, various members of the developer team attempted to solve the riddle, according to the “Path of Exile” Dev Blog post. The problem was that the bug had been very difficult to reproduce for a long time.
Reproducing a bug is, however, the key to investigating the problem and finding out precisely what went wrong.
Ben, the developer who was able to fix the bug after 6 years of searching, will not forget the bug anytime soon. He describes the symptoms of the bug as strange, the search for it as annoying, and says he will almost miss the bug because it existed for so long.
This bug will stay in my memory because it shows particularly strange symptoms, because it’s really annoying to find, and because it has been known for so long. In a way, I will almost miss it, as it is one less “big riddle” to work on. I guess I just have to find the next riddle that can fascinate me!

The Community Shows Some Sentimentality
How do players react to the fix of the legendary bug? In the comments under the Dev Blog post, there are several players who vividly illustrate how well-known the bug is in the community. We provide you with a brief overview of notable player comments:
D1amxnd: “I’m glad you found the solution, but I will probably miss the bug.”
Lisek8: “Good job, it must have felt great when you figured it out. Great read, I love these little tidbits since I’m a software developer myself. Keep it up!”
HDTanel: “I’ve stumbled upon this ‘feature’ for years and just thought of it as a ‘great feature’ of the game.”
Path of Exile 2 currently has no official release date, and Diablo 4 is also a while away. However, there is currently an action RPG “Last Epoch” on Steam that has been accumulating countless positive reviews and seems like a mix of Diablo and Path of Exile.
On MeinMMO, you can find out what makes Last Epoch special and why it is referred to as a mix of the two success titles.
Director of Final Fantasy XIV, Naoki Yoshida, spoke in an interview about the jobs that players can expect in the future. He said that the team will likely only create “brand new jobs” that have not existed in the Final Fantasy series before.
Yoshida said: Actually, the head of FFXIV was a guest at an interview about FFXI, but even then, the topic swayed towards his main MMORPG towards the end. Together with FFXI producer Akihiko Matsui, he philosophized that naming in MMORPGs is incredibly difficult.
According to Yoshida, this is especially evident with jobs. He stated that it is very hard to create new jobs for the games.
It is pointless if the only similarity of the job to its namesake lies in the name. The [new] gameplay experience must fit traditional designs.
Previously, both FFXI and FFXIV drew from the long list of already known and popular FF jobs. Classes like White Mage, Summoner, Dark Knight, or Dragoon are familiar to fans of the series from many earlier games and were taken over by popular characters like Kain (FFIV) and Yuna (FFX).
But after many years of development and 20 jobs, the development teams have “no choice but to invent brand new jobs that have never existed in the Final Fantasy series before,” Yoshida said.
As head of Creative Business Unit 3 at Square Enix, Yoshida is not only the head of FFXIV but also of the first MMORPG from the Japanese developer, Final Fantasy XI. The game originally released in May 2002 for PC and PlayStation 2. It was the first MMORPG to offer crossplay between PC and consoles, and it was also the first MMORPG for the Xbox 360.
“The fans of Puppetmaster are currently in shambles.”
Some players say: The interview with Yoshida quickly made its way to Reddit and social media, where it was discussed by fans. FFXIV received 2-3 new jobs with each expansion, many of which were based on players’ wishes. These include Red Mage, Samurai, and Dancer, for example.
But now it seems to be over, and that makes some fans sad:
He receives agreement that this is also true for fans of Geomancer (602 Upvotes)
Slightly further down, a player comments: “I have to accept that I’m not getting a Time Mage.” (255 Upvotes)
Other comments discussed that after 20 jobs, only a few remain that would be suitable for MMORPGs. After all, the development teams must pay attention to balance and adhere to the rule of the Holy Trinity.
There is also speculation that in the next FFXIV expansion, there could be only 1 new job instead of 2.
Is there really no chance for the old jobs? Whether the fans of Puppetmaster or Geomancer will ever get their dream jobs is not set in stone. After all, Yoshida is known to backtrack on some of his statements from time to time.
Thus, there has been a new playable race of Viera since Shadowbringers in FFXIV, even though the head of the MMORPG announced after the Au Ra that no new races would come. The male Viera were originally not planned but exist nonetheless.
So it is not completely excluded that one of the old jobs might make it to FFXIV. However, the hopes of Puppetmaster and Geomancer fans are currently shattered.
