Battlefield 6 launches with over 36,000 positive reviews on Steam, but also significant criticism – What the community says

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 4 minutes

On October 10, the new installment of the popular shooter series, Battlefield 6, was released. The overall mood is mostly positive, even if not everything is perfect. We summarize how the community experienced the launch.

After nearly four years, Battlefield 6 marks a new entry in the shooter series, and right after the release, it surpassed the player counts of all predecessors and the closest competitor on Steam.

On Metacritic, the shooter currently holds an average rating of 83 points. Many reviewers are particularly pleased that the “good old Battlefield feeling” is finally back. In our summary, we compile the impressions of the first reviewers.

How is Battlefield 6 received? So far, the community seems satisfied with the release. At the same time, there are a few negative points that players mention. Especially the UI has received criticism. Overall, however, the shooter has convinced many players and currently holds over 36,000 positive reviews on Steam, making it “mostly positive” (as of October 12, 2025).

“Finally Battlefield again”

What the community praises: Fans praise the new Battlefield 6. HSWDragon writes in a Reddit post: “Yes, I love it. It has been 8 years since I really enjoyed a BF game last. We’re back!” False-Stock7948 agrees in the comments, stating: “Yes, the game is great… reminds me of the good old BF3 and BF4 times.”

The Reddit user iNCONSEQUENCE even finds it to be “the smoothest Battlefield release in the history of the series”—and this despite having played all installments except 1942.

Proof_Fox2447 reports on Reddit: “After finishing the campaign, I played about an hour of multiplayer. […] I’ve never had so much fun in any other Battlefield game.”

And thepianoman456 writes on Reddit that he is “totally celebrating” the game—gameplay, sound effects, graphics—everything is “fantastic.” Ill_Coach2616 adds: “Everything about the game is great in my opinion. […] Some maps are not that great, but new ones are coming soon, so that’s good news.”

User OgKushSmoke4200 comments on Reddit: “I played and loved the beta. A real breath of fresh air after all the CoD nonsense year after year. […] I just had fun, lost most matches, but whatever.” RUBSUMLOTION adds: “I’m having a lot of fun. I would love it if they bring some BFV maps into the game; they were nearly perfect in my opinion.”

The biggest criticisms of Battlefield 6: confusing UI and small maps

What the community criticizes: In many threads on Reddit and in Steam reviews, a common theme arises: the user interface. It is said to be too confusing, overloaded, and not intuitive. We summarize a few comments on the topic, which a Reddit thread with over 2,000 upvotes addresses:

  • The thread creator primarily refers to the character customization menu and finds it “just horrible.”
  • xanthira222: “The UI is generally my biggest criticism of this game.”
  • MattBonning: “Yes, even changing simple settings is unnecessarily complicated.”
  • LithosMike: “Finding the menu to adjust aiming sensitivity (ADS) was a pain.”
  • CrazyManSam912: “I have no idea what half of the sensitivity options even are; they are so weirdly named. I just try things until something fits.”
  • Czar_Petrovich: “Menus in menus in menus. […] Honestly: the worst UI I have ever seen. And I’ve been playing PC and console games since the early 90s.”
  • ZeW3r1: “The UI is overall terrible to use. I hate these Netflix-like, huge tiles. Just give me a LIST!!1!”
  • Whiteli0nel: “The whole menu system is overloaded and unintuitive in many places. Quite annoying. But still: we’re back.”

Other players criticize the maps in Battlefield 6. Advanced_Idea5943 writes in a Reddit thread that the game is “hella fun” but needs more large maps. BudandLouHyenas states: “I give the game 9/10 points, but only because the maps are significantly smaller than before.”

Some users remain optimistic. Brief_Cry_6387 writes in another thread on Reddit: “I usually like larger maps too, but Sobek and Mirak are really great so far. I’m looking forward to what comes next.” And spidii adds: “The game rocks, and I’m having a blast with it. I’m not totally thrilled with the current map selection, but hopefully, they take feedback to heart and bring better maps over time.”

Battlefield 6 is 85% positive on Steam

What the reviews on Steam look like: On Steam, Battlefield 6 has currently (as of October 12, 2025) collected around 47,700 reviews, of which 77% are positive. This results in over 36,000 positive user reviews. Fans particularly praise the following points:

  • The launch of Battlefield was largely bug-free and stable.
  • The feeling of the weapons is pleasant; every shot feels powerful and satisfying.
  • It’s finally a good Battlefield again— with real Battlefield feeling.
  • It feels like a mix of BF3 and BF4.
  • Strong sound design and good movement.
  • Developer reactions to community feedback.

The main criticisms are crashes, performance issues, and the confusing menu. Many find the campaign “okay.” Some also miss the large maps from previous installments, as the smaller ones involve “pure chaos.”

Overall, the launch of Battlefield 6 seems to be successful. Fans celebrate the classic feeling that many have missed for years. The UI and maps still spark discussions, but the sentiment remains positive: Battlefield is apparently back.

MeinMMO editor Dariusz played Battlefield 6 in advance and spent about 25 hours in multiplayer. As a passionate shooter player, he summarizes his opinion on the new installment of the series in his preview report: Battlefield 6 does almost everything right in the test but has problems—however, they don’t ruin my fun.

In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, a powerful feature returns to prevent you from losing your rare Pokémon in a tragic way

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

In the Legends series, hunting Shinys is easier than in the main editions. The reason for this is a very special sound that also appears in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

What is this feature? As CentroLeaks revealed on X, there will be a special sound in Pokémon Legends: Z-A when a Shiny Pokémon appears nearby. This feature does not exist in the main series so far, but it has always been present in the Legends series.

Shiny Pokémon are particularly rare creatures that have a different color scheme than the original. Each Pokémon has a Shiny variant. For many trainers, these rare specimens are particularly interesting for their collection, which is why so-called Shiny hunters keep an eye out for Shinys.

In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, there is also a special Shiny symbol for the rare Pokémon when you have one in the storage.

Start video
Pokémon Legends: Z-A presents a new story trailer for Switch

Shiny hunting made easier with a simple sound

What are the benefits? As soon as the sound is heard, trainers know that a Shiny Pokémon is nearby. They do not have to search the area for hours to catch one. Additionally, the chance of accidentally killing a Shiny is lower this way. 

Due to the action-based combat system, this can happen faster than in the main games, where there is a turn-based combat system. Since Shinys spawn rarely, it is very annoying and tragic if you accidentally kill one.

The special icon also makes it easier to identify the special creatures among all the others.

Especially convenient is that the captured Pokémon from Legends: Z-A can be transferred to Pokémon HOME, a universal storage for all captured Pokémon across various games. This way, the Shiny creatures can also be transferred to future games. Pokémon GO also uses this platform.

Is the source credible? CentroLeaks has proven to be a reliable source of information in the past when it comes to Pokémon games. However, they also say that leaks published by them, which may initially seem trustworthy, should be taken with caution.

Therefore, the likelihood is high that they are right this time as well. Moreover, this feature has proven to be effective in the previous Legends: Arceus, making it even more likely that the developers will include it again.

The big highlight of the new Legends game are the new Mega Evolutions. Our editor-in-chief Leya has particularly fallen in love with Dragonite. It is now a mix of itself and its pre-evolution: Mega Dragonite from Pokémon Legends Z-A has finally got what I’ve always missed.

6 famous YouTube videos that have shaped Generation Z and Millennials

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 7 minutes

Some videos on YouTube are so famous that they created their own Generation YouTube across generations in the early 2000s. We present to you 6 of these videos that can still be remembered today in this list.

Anyone who was active on the internet in the early 2000s to the 2010s will have witnessed the launch of YouTube, as well as the first works created for the platform.

Alongside well-known moments like “Charlie Bit My Finger” or the famous “Double Rainbow”, early YouTubers developed other projects that countless people still have stored or locked away in their memories today.

With this list, we want to showcase these videos to bring you back to this early YouTube time (more or less) willingly. Whether nostalgic, strange, or a bit uncomfortable.

In this list, we will not rank the videos but present them in order of their release date. The oldest was released in 2008, while the newest was uploaded in 2014 – so 11 years ago. (The author officially apologizes for this realization.)

The list starts with the grumpy unicorn Charlie, who is persuaded by his unicorn friends to go on adventures with them. The goal in the first part of the series is Candy Mountain, the “land of sweets, joy, and… joy.” 

After encountering a magical Liopleurodon, which more or less shows them the way, and at least equally magical hanging bridge, they finally reach the enchanted place, where they are greeted by singing letters. After Charlie is knocked out in the cave of Candy Mountain, he wakes up without his kidney.

However, the most famous moment of the series remains the song of a strange, green creature wearing a Christmas hat in front of the Banana King’s temple:

Charlie, you look sad, 

your googly eyes are staring straight ahead,

the world is so much more beautiful than you think!

[…]

You stick a banana in your ear,

ripe, fine, little into your favorite ear…

– famous German dubbing of the banana song by TheTrueBlacky on YouTube

The most famous German version of the song, which was also the most well-known in Germany, comes from TheTrueBlacky on YouTube, who has since deleted his account. However, other users (@audi1993) were able to save the original.

The creator of Solo Leveling is dissatisfied with one thing, would change it the second time

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

Currently, Solo Leveling is available in all sorts of formats – whether it’s Webtoon, Manhwa, or Anime, the franchise is popular among many fans. The creator of the original web novel, Chugong, has now commented on his own work. He is dissatisfied with one thing.

What is Chugong dissatisfied with? Chugong conducted an interview with LitRes (translated by X user SoloLevelingGuy), a major audiobook service in Russia. In the dialogue, he answered several questions, such as about his favorite scene or his favorite character.

He revealed that his web novel is his favorite version of Solo Leveling. After all, it is the original, which is 100% authentic. Yet, there is one thing he would do differently if he had the chance to fully rewrite his work.

I consciously left out some scenes in Solo Leveling without detailed explanations – to give readers room for thought or simply to avoid dragging out the story. In retrospect, I feel that some moments may have remained somewhat unclear. If I were to rewrite Solo Leveling from scratch, I would like to formulate those parts of the story more clearly.

Unfortunately, Chugong does not elaborate on which parts he specifically means. Perhaps this could refer to the limits of the level system of protagonist Sung Jin-woo or the architect of the system.

Creator compares the sequel to Marvel

Would he change anything else? Solo Leveling Ragnarok is the direct sequel to the original work but is not directly authored by Chugong. Therefore, the author of the original story is considering whether he should write a sequel himself.

However, that does not mean he is dissatisfied with Ragnarok itself. Rather, he has a different perspective: he sees Ragnarok as a spin-off that was created for fan service. He was curious about how another author would write Solo Leveling. The story is part of Solo Leveling, but it is not a direct continuation of the main story.

Rather, Chugong sees Ragnarok as one of several possible scenarios of how the main story could continue. He compares it to the parallel universes from Marvel.

Otherwise, the creator of Solo Leveling seems to be satisfied with his work. He is particularly proud of the Red Gate Arc and protagonist Sung Jin-woo. Over the 10 years that the character has appeared in various media, he has grown fond of Chugong.

A position in LoL is considered particularly boring, but one of the best players from Germany explains in the interview why that is not true

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 7 minutes

During the LEC 2025 Summer Playoffs, MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes was able to speak with BrokenBlade, the German top laner of Team G2. After the team’s final victory, BrokenBlade explained in the interview why top lane is the best lane in League of Legends and which champions beginners should choose.

Note: The title image is a cropped collage, with rights held by Riot Games. The photo of the stage was taken by Joao Ferreira.

Who is BrokenBlade? Sergen Çelik has been a professional German LoL player since 2016. As a top laner, he won this year’s LEC 2025 Summer Playoffs with his team G2 and qualified for the Worlds, the World Championship in LoL.

After his victory in the LEC final, we were able to speak with BrokenBlade and ask him many questions about top lane. In general, the role is considered boring in the community because you often fight tanks and the goal in solo queue is often just to push.

Why it is nevertheless the best lane in the game could be answered by BrokenBlade.

Das ist LoL – Einmal richtig ehrlich erklärt

Preparing for the Worlds and Favorite Opponents

MeinMMO: First of all, congratulations on three very strong games. I am a top lane main myself, and I am of course happy to see such an aggressive top lane. That’s why I will also bug you today with top lane questions. But first: Next up for you are the Worlds. How are you preparing for that? Is it different from now for the LEC?

BrokenBlade: It will of course always run a little differently, because we travel for a long, long time and then there is jet lag and this and that. So, there was once a [Worlds in Europe] when it was much more pleasant, but it’s always a bit different. So we also have to rest a bit now.

We really worked a lot, everyone really gave a lot for this title, and then we go on with a little resting time. And next we will directly tackle the Chinese Solo Queue and such. We are of course very excited.

MeinMMO: When are you flying out?

BrokenBlade: Thursday [October 2, 2025].

MeinMMO: Oh, that’s not that long away.

BrokenBlade: Exactly, there will be a bootcamp right away. The Worlds are not as far away as they were in previous years. I actually think that’s very good. It makes it easier to stay in shape. Especially for me, I always liked to take a bit longer off from playing, but now I have to step it up and can chill at the end of the year. So I definitely want to play much, much better in these Worlds. It’s a bit crazy; I haven’t made it past the group stage in my career. I’d say I’ve achieved a lot in Europe, but internationally, more needs to come. We’ve made it a bit further in MSI, but I definitely want to go far in Worlds and hopefully win the title.

MeinMMO: Do you have a favorite player you would like to compete against in the top lane?

BrokenBlade: For me, it has always been Bin [current top laner of the Chinese team Bilibili Gaming] and Zeus [current top laner of the Korean team Hanwha Life]. Now, since Kiin [top laner of the Korean team Gen.G] is performing really well in Gen.G, I would also like to play against him. Yes, I would currently say those three, but of course, at the end of the day, I just have to become the best, and I’m really looking forward to that.

Europe as a LoL Region and the Great Aspects of Top Lane

MeinMMO: You have already talked about Europe as a region. You have played in three regions in total during your career. What makes Europe so special in comparison?

BrokenBlade: Europe has a lot of talent, a lot, a lot of talent in this region, and I believe we just need to tap into it more. I think this year has been a very, very positive year for talents. So Skewmond performed very well today. In another split, Caliste performed very well, and in another one, Alvaro did great. They are all new players, and they will help us all be better and get better, and I believe the league itself has improved compared to last year or the years before. I’m very, very happy about that.

MeinMMO: I don’t know if you are familiar with memes or the general solo queue opinion about top lane. It’s the most boring lane, nothing happens, just two guys fighting. Can you explain why it’s the best lane in the game?

BrokenBlade: It is the best lane in the game, […] because it’s very 1 against 1 during the laning phase. At least you can show you are much better than the opponent. Especially how you manipulate the wave; wave manipulation is, of course, the be-all and end-all for top laners.

For example, I played against Supa in Game 2, and I noticed he can’t play top lane. I proc’d his potion at level 2 [note: the opponent had to use his healing potion] and his ghost as well. He just had no idea how to play the waves. I found it very funny because I had talked a lot about this with Hans Sama since lane swaps have become a thing. So let me just play against my top laner. They don’t want to do that either.

But yes. I believe top lane is the role where you can play the most different champions. You can play a tank, a bruiser, an assassin, a mage, ranged top laners, and AD carries. There’s everything in top lane, and that’s why I find the role the best.

MeinMMO: Which 3 champs would you recommend for beginners?

BrokenBlade: So what do we say for beginners? Gold?

MeinMMO: Someone wants to get good at top lane, exactly.

BrokenBlade: Then I would say: My favorite for beginners is Renekton. Renekton is basically the starting point for very many top laners for wave management. If you have very good wave management with Renekton, you gain many advantages simply in the laning phase, whether it’s about level 6 timing or how you play with your fury [note: resource of Renekton]. That’s one.

I think the other would probably be Garen. […] You can make many mistakes with Garen and still win the lane, simply because of his passive. There are many health regenerations, and his W [ability] is quite annoying, especially when people don’t know what the W does. It offers a lot of tenacity [note: resilience that reduces CC]. Many forget about that. Many beginners also don’t take teleport in top lane. I’m not a big fan of that, but of course, if you want to win the lane and then say: Oh, I’m carrying this game – do it, it’s your game, you can do what you want.

And then I would probably suggest something else, […] that requires more skill, like, I don’t want to say Riven, […] that’s where I started. […] But something that requires a bit more skill, simply for the reason: When you are higher in Elo, meaning when you are climbing: At some point, your game knowledge just becomes useless, and you just need to be good enough to play. And if the opposing top laner outplays you with mechanics, since it’s a 1v1, then you just can’t win. Therefore, always practice a bit of mechanics and also want to practice.

MeinMMO: Do you have any other tips for beginners on what they need to pay attention to in order to climb?

BrokenBlade: Yes. Wave management, jungle pathing, very, very important, because when you are alone, you don’t get much help. And you need a strong mental, buddha mentality. Top laners have it tough; I know that from my experience as a one trick [note: a player who only plays one champion]. I was always a one trick, and as a professional player: You need a good mental as a top laner, and that will win you many games.

The Best Season and the Best Skin in the Game

MeinMMO: You have already talked about one tricks; who is the best top laner and why is it Urgot?

BrokenBlade: I also like Urgot, but I would say the best top laner is Riven. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be a top laner, I think. […] Actually, I would be a mid laner because I played Katarina and Riven.

MeinMMO: I can understand that because it works similarly on mid lane.

BrokenBlade: And at some point, I decided that I only play Riven, and that’s why Riven is forever my favorite champ.

MeinMMO: Now the other side: Is there a top laner you would delete forever, aside from Teemo?

BrokenBlade: Ah, Teemo would have been my answer. Ugh, there are quite a few actually. I think Illaoi, she is just annoying. Just make a different kit and then we’ll all be happy. Yes, I would say Illaoi.

MeinMMO: And if you could choose any champ, not necessarily a top laner, to become viable, like a very quirky pick in pro play. Would you have something you would really want to see in a pro match?

BrokenBlade: Tahm Kench top lane. I really enjoy playing Tahm Kench.

MeinMMO: That sounds fun. Do you have a favorite season in LoL and why? Here, the juggernaut update from Season 5 is always notorious. That was a very critical moment.

BrokenBlade: Ugh, my favorite season was, I think, Fizz and Ekko top lane, at the end of Season 4 or the beginning of Season 5, something like that. That was my absolute favorite season. […] Fizz was one of my favorite champs when I started playing LoL. I played Fizz, Anivia, and Lux [mid], and when Fizz top lane meta came about, I played him all the time.

MeinMMO: And what is the best skin in the game?

BrokenBlade: Ugh, the best skin in the game. Ugh, I’d say, let’s go from the top lane. I think Project Renekton is really cool.

MeinMMO: I always think of Pool Party Renekton.

BrokenBlade: No, no, that’s a skin you use to mess with opponents during the recall. Or Sahn-Uzal Mordekaiser. I think it’s really cool that they made the music and such.

MeinMMO: Thank you. Good luck in the Worlds, and have a great celebration.

Fan asks why the Space Marines in Warhammer 40,000 constantly wipe out their Chaos brothers – veterans explain the weaknesses of the traitors

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 4 minutes

The eternal war of the Empire against Chaos is one of the central points of Warhammer 40,000. Although there is no clear winner in the grand scheme of things, at least in the narrative, the “good” Space Marines repeatedly succeed in battle against their treacherous counterparts. There are good reasons for this, as lore-savvy users know.

From the outside, it may seem like an old-fashioned trope that the chivalrous Space Marines are always victorious. They face the traitors. During the Great Crusade, the Horus Heresy in the 31st millennium, half of all Space Marine legions fractured and now follow Chaos and its four gods.

But there is no “good” or “evil” in Warhammer. Everyone is nasty in their own way, even among Space Marines there is constant racism – or: speciesism – and often a fanatical loyalty to the absolutist regime.

For newcomers, it still seems that the Imperium of Man is “the good guys” in the story. This is partly because many of the tales are about the Imperium and the Space Marines and are written from this perspective.

On Reddit, a user noticed this and now wonders how the modern Adeptus Astartes can so easily defeat their heretical brothers. This is often the case in many stories – even though Chaos is also popular among players.

Veterans respond and explain that there isn’t necessarily a certain bias behind it, but rather valid lore reasons.

The Great Crusade was already 10,000 years ago:

Start video
The trailer for the new edition of the Horus Heresy in Warhammer 40,000

What Chaos Space Marines learned was modern 10,000 years ago

The perhaps most important point why Chaos Space Marines are inferior to their loyal brothers lies, according to many fans, in the training. The training at Chaos is, after all, more than poor.

Here, clones, slaves, or lab-grown boys are simply stuffed with the appropriate means, mutating into Space Marines – perhaps – and then they are put into armor. Done. They lack training and discipline.

Another major point is described in the top comment: Tactics. Most (still) living Chaos Marines of the original traitor legions learned to fight over 10,000 years ago, in the times of the Crusades and the Heresy.

Back then, the legions still had 10,000 members or more. Behind a Space Marine stood thousands of brothers for support:

In the universe, Chaos Marines have lost their discipline and coordination. They fight as a one-man army. It also helps that they were trained in Crusade-era tactics. They could rely on tens of thousands of brothers supporting them.

The Codex Astartes, blunt as it is, is meant to optimize tactics for small units and teach them to fight in massive numerical inferiority. A Space Marine from the Great Crusade era is a jump soldier; a 40k Space Marine belongs to the elite special forces.

Matthius81 on Reddit

Loyal Space Marines are the absolute elite

In the comments, dozens of users cite various reasons why battles in Warhammer 40,000 often turn out in favor of the Imperial forces, especially the Space Marines. One of the most important: Chaos Space Marines are by far not as well trained.

Space Marines are genetically engineered superhumans equipped with additional organs, hardened bones, and super senses. Chaos Space Marines have that too, but their training differs fundamentally:

  • A potential Astartes must first undergo hard trials before being accepted into the ranks of the Space Marines.
  • After that, he serves as a scout in the 10th company and learns the art of war for years, decades, or centuries.
  • If he becomes better and more important, survives all that, he may rise to the 9th and 8th companies, followed by the 7th and 6th – all still reserves of a chapter.
  • Only from there does it go up to the active companies of the 2nd to 4th companies – and with a bit of luck, eventually to the veterans of the 1st.

By the way: Women can also pass the trials to become Astartes and even succeed, but they cannot become Space Marines. However, particularly gifted female aspirants often receive recommendations to be accepted into the Adepta Sororitas, warrior nuns with powers nearly equal to those of Space Marines.

Although the training of the Adeptus Astartes is not completely uniform and some induction rituals differ significantly, the discipline imparted is generally similar across all chapters.

Chaos has no interest in competition

Another user explains: In pure “man-to-man” combat, a Chaos Space Marine could likely defeat a comparable loyalist. 10,000 years of experience and the – albeit somewhat limited – support of the Chaos gods is a significant advantage.

However, as soon as it comes to larger battles, the loyal Astartes are superior again, simply because they fight for each other and not against one another. Because that’s exactly what happens in Chaos, where many followers are solely focused on personal strength or the strength of their own unit.

A personal power position should not be jeopardized by making subordinates stronger – success is encouraged among Space Marines. If another unit of Chaos Marines is defeated, it was evidently weak, and they can use its resources for themselves, so there’s no reason to support them.

Chaos is inherently self-destructive, because if one of their forces were ever to win, there would be no more Chaos, but order. It is in their own interest to sabotage other Chaos gods if necessary. This happens rarely with Space Marines.

Ultimately, however, part of the stories is simply dictated by “plot armor”; that is, certain characters may not die because the story would otherwise make no sense or be boring.

If you want to get an impression of how Space Marines and their treacherous brothers fight against each other, there are countless books about it. The Horus Heresy alone includes over 60 works.

Legion Remix shows what World of Warcraft urgently needs

The heroic world in World of Warcraft Legion Remix is a great success. So much so that many now want it in the main game.

A few days ago, a rather crazy adventure began with WoW Legion Remix. In addition to powerful abilities, insane speed, and plenty of rewards, one feature in particular is generating a lot of interest: the Heroic World. A game mode that is well received, and many hope it will become a permanent feature in World of Warcraft.

The game explicitly warns about this, as the experience differs from the normal remix experience. The following changes apply in the Heroic World:

  • All enemies have much more health and deal more damage.
  • Some enemies have special effects, essentially affixes, that make them even stronger.
  • All enemies drop more rewards, both bronze and power items.
  • There are several achievements that are only available in Heroic World mode.

How hard is the mode really? Here one must clearly say: “It depends.” Because the circumstances are important. Generally, it is a bit easier as a tank, but also more time-consuming, as enemies have longer life spans. However, whether as a tank or DPS, one must be careful about how to use their cooldowns during the leveling phase in Heroic World mode. Just pulling one additional enemy into the fight can already mean death.

WoW Legion Remix Affixed Mob
Such a simple goat suddenly becomes a small boss – when blessed with many affixes.

It is also important to look closely at the enemies in heroic mode. The affixes have descriptions with important information. For example, the “Explosive” affix causes an enemy to explode at the end of its life, deal high damage, and also leave a damage-over-time effect on the character. However, this effect is not triggered if the enemy is stunned at the time of death.

Other affixes can also be temporarily disabled, usually through stuns or control effects.

Some affixes also clearly indicate which enemies should be prioritized. Because if an enemy has the affix “Summons demons of the Legion regularly,” one should quickly take this opponent down, as the summoned demons are not just “small, weak adds,” but often enemies that have devastating abilities that can make you kiss the ground even faster.

Why does WoW need this mode? Even though this drifts a bit more into personal opinion, a few days in Legion Remix have already shown me how enjoyable a Heroic World mode can be – I almost played 16 hours of Remix in a row because of that. The open world has so far been something that Blizzard has treated rather neglectfully.

For over a decade, there have been few real challenges in the open world. It’s often something you can just casually play while watching a series or chatting. It’s good that there is this “easy world” – many enjoy that. But there needs to be an option for something more challenging.

Yes, with Midnight there is the “Prey” system. It serves a similar purpose. But whether it can even remotely achieve the feeling of danger and the consideration of “Risk & Reward” like Legion Remix does remains to be seen.

However, I am optimistic that Blizzard is listening to the large amount of feedback regarding Legion Remix and the Heroic World mode. Therefore, it’s only a matter of time before some or even all elements of it are incorporated into modern WoW. Perhaps not yet in Midnight – but definitely by the end of the Shadowlands saga. Because the feature is simply too good not to adopt, and perhaps the next expansion Midnight will take a page from it.

Alexander Mehrwald Alexander Mehrwald Reading time 2 minutes

The beta for Battlefield 6 has started and brings a true fireworks display of effects and graphical wonders. MeinMMO reveals to you what the best settings are.

How can I display the FPS? The option is a bit hidden, you can find it here: Settings → Graphics → Advanced Settings → Scroll all the way down → Performance Display → On.

We will explain to you how you can improve your performance without making your visual experience too ugly or being unable to recognize enemies in certain situations.

Update from October 12, 2025: After the release of Battlefield 6, we have slightly adjusted the recommended graphics settings so that you can achieve the best possible FPS while still being able to recognize enemies well.

Error on Steam: Battlefield 6 is not released – How to solve the problem

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 2 minutes

Currently, a bug on Steam is causing frustration, as Battlefield 6 is displayed as “not released” for some players. We have summarized some tips for you on how to solve the problem.

What kind of problem is this? Since the release of Battlefield 6, some PC players on Steam have reported the error message “Game not released”. However, Battlefield 6 was already released on October 10 at 5 PM – and over 700,000 players were already in the game.

On Reddit, users report that even restarting Steam or redownloading the game did not help, and the message still appears.

The developers announced early this morning around 6 AM (CEST) on the official Discord and on X with a small workaround while they continue to work on a solution.

Fix “Game not released” error on Steam

Here’s how to solve the problem on Steam:

  • Open your library on Steam and right-click on Battlefield 6.
  • Select “Properties” at the bottom.
  • Click on “DLC” on the left.
  • Uncheck the boxes for:
    • “Battlefield-Multiplayer-HD-Marker”
    • “Battlefield-Multiplayer-Marker”.

In the comments on X, some users also recommend clearing the download cache of Steam under “Settings – Downloads – Clear Cache”. Alternatively, it might help to completely exit Steam via the Task Manager and then restart it.

One user adds on X: “I had the same problem and was able to fix it like this: Open the NVIDIA app, go to Graphics, find Battlefield 6, click on it, and go to Global Settings. There, click on “Restore” under Driver Settings. Then restart Steam and start the game again.”

Furthermore, we also have useful tips on how to play your class right in Battlefield 6:

And if you want to stay up to date: In our live ticker for Battlefield 6 on MeinMMO, we keep you informed about current issues, updates, and news. A regular check is worth it.

But not only Steam users had to deal with error messages. Problems also occurred in the EA launcher at release. Many players couldn’t even start Battlefield 6 there despite having purchased it. EA has responded, but even the CEO then advised to play Battlefield 6 on the competition.

When you constantly run out of ammunition in Battlefield 6, it is due to your class gadget, but the game doesn’t tell you that

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

In Battlefield 6 some players notice that they run out of ammunition too quickly. But there is a good reason for that.

What is the problem with the ammunition? In social networks, part of the community criticizes the amount of ammunition soldiers have. Some players complain that the reserves are too small and they run out of shots quickly. Others are confused and ask if they missed something.

A player on Reddit writes, “The amount of ammo you get for the assault class is pathetic.” However, the player did not realize that this one sentence already contained the crucial info as to why they had so little ammunition.

Start video
Battlefield 6: Mit diesen Tipps werdet ihr zum besseren Squad-Spieler

Little ammunition because you have double the firepower

Why is there so little ammunition? The ammo reserves for the assault soldier are significantly reduced per primary weapon, meaning assault rifle, carbine, shotgun, and similar, if the player carries a second primary weapon as a gadget – this important info, however, is not mentioned in the game.

The assault soldier is the only class that can, for example, carry a shotgun in addition to the assault rifle. To ensure this special ability is not too strong, the total ammo carried for both primary weapons is significantly reduced.

If you spawn with the M433 – which is the first assault rifle and can be played right from the start – you have 7 reserve magazines without a second primary weapon. However, if you carry a second primary weapon, you only have 4 reserve magazines left. Thus, you run out of ammunition much faster with the M433.

How do you solve the ammo problem? It’s simple, you need to carry a different gadget instead of the second primary weapon. The biggest obstacle is the fact that you need to unlock other gadgets like the spawn beacon first.

To get you really hungry for a new anime, the creators have purchased special meat

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

On Crunchyroll, the new season of the anime Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill has started. The food in the series looks so good that fans would dive right in. The production team put a lot of effort into the visuals.

What’s the deal with the food? In this anime, Mukouda Tsuyoshi is summoned from today’s Japan to another world. The protagonist is looking forward to special adventures but soon realizes that he doesn’t have particularly practical skills.

He can only use the ability “Online Supermarket.” This allows him to order food from today’s Japan to the fantasy world. He thinks he is useless and prefers a quiet life. However, his dishes are so good that Mukouda quickly gains recognition.

Since the focus of the anime is on food, it is particularly important that it looks good. And for that, the creators came up with something special.

Why does it look so good? To make the food look as authentic as possible, the team behind the anime cooked the dishes beforehand. From simple grilled fish to stews with sausages and potatoes, there are some delicacies included.

For one dish, the team even bought particularly expensive meat, which can be seen in the marbling of the fat. Such marbling is often found in high-quality meat like Wagyu beef. You can find the dish in a short on YouTube.

The artists then based their sketches on the real cooking footage. These sketches served as the basis for the particularly tasty scenes of the anime.

What do fans say about it? On Reddit, many hungry mouths gather. They find such an approach commendable and get hungry as soon as they see the scenes from the anime.

One user writes how dangerous it is to watch the anime in the evening: “My mouth is watering, and I can only think about going to the store that’s open at night to buy some meat. But that won’t work because I have to get up early for work.”

There are even viewers who follow the recipes from the anime and cook them.

You don’t even need a premium subscription to watch Season 1. Unfortunately, a paid subscription is required for Episode 1 of Season 2.

There are other animes that are convincing with their particularly delicious food. One series that one might not think of at first is Dandadan. But here too, the creators had to be creative due to the brilliant source material: Because the food in the manga looked too good, the creators of the hit anime Dandadan had to be creative

Battlefield 6: EA App is having issues, reports players “Purchase required” – EA responds, but even the boss advises to play on the competition instead

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

Battlefield 6 fought at release with problems in the EA App and even the head of the game recommends you to rather play the shooter on Steam. However, it does not run smoothly here either.

What is the problem? Some players report that they have issues playing Battlefield 6 through the EA App. When trying to start the multiplayer or the campaign of the shooter, they receive an error message. Battlefield 6 then informs the affected players that a purchase of the content is required for playing, even though they have purchased and installed the full game.

On Reddit, players report that neither restarting the game nor the EA App nor repairing the files helped. They also found that reinstalling the game did not help.

EA subsequently worked hard to fix the error and resolved the issue on the evening of October 11. Players had to restart the game but should now be able to play. The head of Battlefield still had another suggestion.

What does the head advise? Vince Zampella, the head of Battlefield, responded to a fan of the shooter on X when this fan inquired about a solution to the problem.

In response to the question of whether there were any updates, Zampella said: “Can you return it [Battlefield 6] and buy it on Steam?” He specifically advises the player not to use the own launcher but the competing Steam launcher.

However, some players comment that this is not an ideal solution because they would lose the pre-order bonuses. These include cosmetic content such as skins and patches as well as XP boosts.

“Game not yet released” – Battlefield 6 also has problems on Steam

What is the problem on Steam? As EA communicated on X, there is also a problem with Battlefield 6 on Steam. Some players reportedly receive the message that the game is not yet released. Therefore, the affected players cannot start Battlefield 6.

While the developers are working on a solution to the error, they recommend a workaround that has reportedly helped some users successfully. To do this, open the properties section for Battlefield in your Steam library and go to “DLC”. There, you need to disable the contents “Battlefield-Multiplayer-HD-Marker” and “Battlefield-Multiplayer-Marker”.

Twitch streamer does not want the money of his biggest fans because he is worried, completely disables the option

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer Charles White Jr. is known to many fans as Cr1TiKal or penguinz0. In a new video on YouTube, he asks his viewers not to send him any more money. He disables certain features for this.

Which options does he disable? As the streamer explains in the video, he turns off all options in his livestreams through which people can donate money to him. This includes Super Chat on YouTube and the membership for his channel.

On Twitch, unfortunately, it’s not that simple. According to him, you cannot easily turn off that option. Therefore, he sets the limit for bits, the currency on Twitch, so incredibly high that he hopes no one is willing to send him that much money.

At the moment, fans can still support him through subs, but the streamer says: “I earnestly ask you, do not make any subs or similar on Twitch.”

The reason for this is that he simply no longer wants his fans to send him money. There is more behind this thought than one might initially think. He further elaborates on why his fans should keep their money.

Famous streamer doesn’t want your money, asks you to donate it

Why doesn’t he want the money anymore? Penguinz0 believes that it is not justified to send him money. He feels uncomfortable accepting money from fans and not delivering the expected content. For example, on Twitch, viewers only get “emojis that haven’t been updated in 4 years”. 

Moreover, times are so critical right now that he feels more comfortable if fans save their money and do not spend it on him. 

Additionally, the streamer does not need the money as urgently as others. He has previously been able to afford to make several million euros in losses.

What should one do with the money instead? If there are viewers who could financially afford to give money, Cr1TiKal advises donating it to charities. After all, there are numerous organizations that would use it for a good cause, and better options exist than investing money in him.

As an example, he mentions organizations that do “extremely important work” in Gaza. Here, the money would be better spent.

The head of Clair Obscur is obsessed with a new game on Steam that is particularly well-received at 97%, nominating it as GotY

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

The gaming year 2025 has many strong contenders for Game of the Year. One of them is the role-playing game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. However, the CEO of the responsible development studio is not really aiming to win the award for themselves.

What does the CEO think? In an interview with PCGamesN, CEO Guillaume Broche and COO Francois Meurisse discussed the new update, which was recently released for Clair Obscur. Their interviewer asked what chances they envision regarding the coveted GotY award. Broche reveals:

[GOTY] is not really our goal; it should just be a consequence of developing a good game, not really the aim. Our philosophy is that we have already achieved so much more than we intended to. We have received so many beautiful messages from players around the world saying that the game has changed their lives and helped them through tough times. There is so much love, and we are very grateful for that.

Accordingly, the COO is already happy that he was able to create genuine, emotional resonance. The award is just a nice bonus on top of that. CEO Guillaume is also touched that fans even suggest Clair Obscur for GotY. 

When it comes to personal preferences, it’s a different story. Guillaume reveals who he personally would like to see win the award.

The title is a 3D roguelike that strongly resembles Vampire Survivors. You must slash through hordes of enemies with weapons, items, and upgrades while trying to survive as long as possible.

Broche jokingly admits that the game is currently his life and that he needs help. He is also not sure if his choice is serious enough – but after all, it’s about personal preferences.

Whether Megabonk will be among the potential candidates remains to be seen. However, there is plenty of competition.

Battlefield 6 surpasses on Steam the player counts of all predecessors and the closest competitor – and that in just a few minutes

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 3 minutes

Battlefield 6 has been released and has attracted over 700,000 fans on Steam right away. This means that the new installment of the shooter series has not only surpassed all predecessors but also left the biggest competitor behind.

On October 10, 2025, at 5:00 PM German time, the starting gun was fired: Battlefield 6 celebrated its release for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. As usual, the focus is on intense multiplayer battles, modern warfare, and plenty of action, including vehicles, infantry, and destructible environments.

Even the beta was well received by fans and caused a positive vibe, although there were criticisms. However, the developers made improvements, for example, revising the movement that some felt was too reminiscent of the hectic Call of Duty.

With the start of the open beta, Battlefield 6 reached a new peak in player numbers. On Saturday evening, the game had around 521,000 concurrent players on Steam alone (via SteamDB). At release, the shooter set an even higher record.

A live-action trailer from Battlefield 6 hits the competition right where it hurts:

Battlefield 6 reaches over 700,000 players in a short time

Here are the player numbers at the release: After the beta, Battlefield 6 managed to surpass itself once again. Immediately after launch, servers filled up in record time and alone on Steam, according to SteamDB, over 700,000 players were active. At 6:40 PM, Battlefield 6 finally reached its previous peak of 747,440 active players:

Immediately after the release, over 700,000 players were playing Battlefield 6.

No other Battlefield entry has ever had so many concurrent players on Steam. The lower numbers of the older titles are also due to the fact that they have only been available on Steam since June 2020 – previously, everything ran through EA’s own launcher, Origin.

The games in comparison on Steam via SteamDB:

  • Battlefield 3 – 1,412
  • Battlefield 4 – 12,425
  • Battlefield Hardline – 292
  • Battlefield 1 – 53,714
  • Battlefield V – 116,104
  • Battlefield 2042 – 107,376

The current Call of Duty didn’t even reach half of the player numbers

How does the competition fare? According to SteamDB, the “Call of Duty” franchise (i.e., Modern Warfare, MW2, MW3, and Black Ops 6) reached an all-time peak of 491,670 players. That was in November 2022, shortly after the release of Modern Warfare 2.

At the launch of Black Ops 6, the latest and current installment of the shooter series, there were only about 315,000 players. The small increase at the end of the SteamDB graph is likely due to the open beta of Black Ops 7 and the current free trial week in Black Ops 6:

The Steam charts of Call of Duty.

However, it must be said: A large part of the CoD community plays via Battle.net or console, where no exact player numbers are published. Therefore, we can only rely on the Steam data.

How this will look in November 2025 at the release of CoD: Black Ops 7 remains to be seen. However, the former president of Blizzard, Mike Ybarra, believes that Battlefield 6 will stomp Call of Duty into the ground this year.

Players seem satisfied so far, have “more fun than in the beta”

How is the game being received so far? In the evening of the release, there are some positive voices. For example, Excellent-Law528 writes on Reddit: “I’m having fun… this game is awesome!! I love it.”

The user Flow390 agrees: “I love it too! This is by far the most stable release I have experienced (aside from EA app errors). Since I got into the game this morning, I haven’t had any crashes, no server issues, and no performance issues.” Vmc324 also praises the game, saying: “I can’t wait to unlock all the weapons and see which ones suit me best.”

On Steam, there are currently (as of October 11, 10:30 AM) about 22,800 reviews, which are “mostly positive”. Criticism is primarily for performance problems, error messages, and queues. However, the developers previously announced the latter among other things on X – we reported on this in the live ticker.

Overall, things look very solid for Battlefield 6 so far: On Metacritic, the shooter has an average rating of 83 points (50 reviews, as of October 11, 00:20 AM). Many critics especially praise that the “good old Battlefield feeling” is finally back. In our summary, we compile the impressions of the first testers.

In WoW, Druids fulfill their greatest dream, only to have it taken away coldly after 2 days

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

For a few days, druids in World of Warcraft could express themselves freely. Now Blizzard is taking that away from them again.

Legion Remix has been live for a few days now and offers a variety of new rewards and content in World of Warcraft that players can dive into. However, a few errors caused confusion and also joy, which then turned into frustration. Because druids could briefly taste the wonderful shapeshifts from Legion before Blizzard intervened.

WoW Legion Remix: This insane time travel works

What was the error? When creating a druid in WoW Legion Remix, players could observe something curious at the barber. Instead of having just a handful of shapeshifts unlocked, druids suddenly possessed all forms – including those that were rewards for successfully completing the Mage Tower.

But that had even more serious consequences. Because anyone who had created a druid in Remix could then create the shapeshifts on all other characters outside of Remix.

An error that was immediately exploited by tens of thousands of druids to unlock the shapeshifts that were otherwise no longer available.

This is how Blizzard reacted: Blizzard remained silent about the incident for two days, then commented on it in the official WoW forum and crushed the druids’ hopes in just a few sentences:

Due to an unexpected error, Legion Remix launched with the situation that druid players could use various bear and cat forms that they had not actually earned.

Please know that we are working to fix this (along with other bugs) and when we do, we expect that these forms will no longer be usable by players who have not actually earned them.

The community is amused but also disappointed: The whole incident has sparked mixed reactions in the community. Because even before Legion Remix, it was a major point of criticism that the Mage Tower rewards from the original Legion were not part of the Remix version. This is particularly frustrating for druids, as there are entire shapeshifts hidden behind that.

When the error occurred, some were overjoyed and hoped that it was done intentionally by Blizzard to unlock the shapeshifts. Others recognized the error but believed that Blizzard would overlook it and take the path of “Well, now everyone has it, so let it be” – neither was the case.
At least: A new druid form can also be obtained in retail, but it has been available for quite some time.

Controller specialist Scuf brings a new Xbox controller and comes with features that fans missed in the last model

david hausberger david hausberger Reading time 2 minutes

The new Valor Pro Wireless from Scuf Gaming is the response to the community’s criticism. The model now features a wireless connection and more customization options. With this, Scuf wants to show that the players’ feedback has been taken seriously.

What is Scuf? Scuf Gaming is a US-based manufacturer of customizable controllers for consoles and PC. The company was founded in 2011 by Duncan Ironmonger and has been part of the Corsair Group since 2019.

The controllers are primarily aimed at console and PC gamers who want more control, precision, and customization options than a standard controller. 

What did the old controller do wrong? Gamesradar writes that the Valor Pro mainly failed due to a lack of wireless support, missing fine-tuning options, and slippery stick surfaces that made precise gaming difficult. Scuf wants to address most of these issues now.

Check out the Xbox Series X in the official trailer

Scuf improves many aspects, but one detail remains problematic

What can the controller do? The Valor Pro Wireless brings back most of the features of the predecessor. However, it has been further developed in several areas: 

  • The new controller works wirelessly, eliminating the cable management of the predecessor. 
  • An app that allows individual customization of the controller.
  • Buyers can customize the controller in advance with different colors, front plates, and other accents. 

What can the new app do? In the new Scuf app, players can adjust the so-called dead zones. This is the area around the center position of the sticks where no input is recognized. Additionally, buttons are supposed to be reassignable and their control customizable down to the last detail. No further functions for the app have been announced so far. 

The predecessor version of the controller will also receive app support. Accordingly, owners of the older model will also benefit from the new app. Therefore, purchasing the new device solely for this purpose is unnecessary.

Is this now the perfect controller? Not yet, because unfortunately, the Valor Pro Wireless still has a slippery stick surface. Thus writes Gamesradar in their review of the new controller: “For a brand that positions itself as an official Call of Duty partner and specialist for FPS controllers, this is a clear step back; Scuf should have improved here.” 

The unchanged surface of the sticks is a clear weak point, which can lead to fingers slipping. This can also cause inaccuracies in aiming or movement. For FPS players, such a detail can make the difference between victory and defeat.

At least the Valor Pro Wireless uses TMR stick technology (short for True Magnetic Response). Here, the sticks cannot experience the dreaded stick drift anymore. The input via stick works through magnetic detection instead of traditional contact surfaces.

What about the price? On the official Scuf website, the controller is offered for $189 (around €160, exchange rate from 10.10.2025). Extras like a carrying case or a charging station are not included. The Valor Pro Wireless shows that Scuf listens to feedback. This applies not only to the Xbox version. On the PlayStation side, the manufacturer has also improved with the Scuf Reflex FPS. How well the counterpart for PS5 players really is, you will find out here.

New solo shooter rewards you for doing weird stuff, now has a demo on PS5

Ody Ody Reading time 2 minutes

A new solo shooter rewards you for doing crazy stuff. After already convincing players on Steam, you can now try it for free on PS5.

This shooter is called Void/Breaker: The fresh roguelite first-person shooter impresses on Steam with powerful gunplay and fluid movement. Above all, some really creative weapon modifiers make it unique:

  • Instead of slapping upgrades like “+10% more damage against enemy type xy” onto your gun, some mods enlarge your weapon’s magazine, for example, when you lower the resolution of the game.
  • Another mod lets you deal more damage if you play the game at night – that is, between 12 AM and 6 AM.
  • These are just a few examples of the countless weapon mods you can experiment with.

After the shooter was released in Early Access for PC on Steam on August 19, 2025, there is now also a free demo for PS5. You can find it in the PlayStation Store.

At the launch of the PS5 demo, there was also a new trailer:

Void/Breaker: You can now also try out the completely crazy solo shooter on PS5

Uprising Against the AI

What is the game about? In Void/Breaker, you are trapped in an eternal cycle of life, fighting, and dying by an all-seeing, hostile AI. Your goal is to break this cycle, but you must get past hordes of deadly machines.

To survive, you rely not only on your reflexes and accuracy but also on the weapon mods mentioned earlier. In addition, environments within the levels can be destroyed, giving you even more ways to approach situations.

Void/Breaker is already doing really well on Steam: Over 1,500 players have left a review there, 91 percent of which are positive (as of October 10, 14:19). 

In these reviews, it says things like:

  • “Super satisfying gameplay and fun systems. 10/10” (Meter on Steam)
  • “In short, a wonderfully fast and powerful shooter with a lot of potential and I’m very curious about what content will be added in the future.” (eddi on Steam)
  • “Pretty much everything that makes a good, fast FPS. Also surprisingly solid and varied for an Early Access title” (Schnizzel on Steam)

Controversial change made LoL esports more exciting – This is what a German professional from Fnatic says about it 

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 5 minutes

In this year’s LEC 2025 Summer Playoffs, MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes spoke with the German ADC Elias Upset Lipp. The professional player in League of Legends talked about his handling of pressure and his thoughts on the Fearless Draft.

Note: The title image is a cropped photo, the rights of which belong to Riot Games. The photo was taken by Gomez Visuals.

The e-sport of League of Legends is also big in Europe, and this year in the top league LEC, 2 German professionals were able to show what they can do. Among them is Elias Lipp, also known as Upset, who has been playing as ADC for the well-known team Fnatic since 2024.

After his match against Karmine Corp and the prodigy Caliste, I was able to talk to Upset about the controversial Fearless Draft, which significantly influenced the e-sport of LoL, but also about the pressure on stage.

Upset on handling pressure and the meta

MeinMMO: First of all, congratulations. You played very well. So right to my first question: You played the first 2 matches with very consistent pressure? Not overly so, but very slow constant pressure. Then right after match 3, you changed the strategy a bit, much more aggressively. Did you plan to change from the beginning, or was it more of a spontaneous idea after you lost match 3?

Upset: I think we just didn’t play well in the third game, to be honest. I think our draft was harder to play, and we didn’t find the flow in the game, I would say.

MeinMMO: Fnatic is a very traditional team in League of Legends, and you have very passionate fans, as you could also hear in the stadium. How do you handle the pressure of playing for, well, qualifying for the Worlds?

Upset: I try not to think too much about those things. I always give my best, and what happens then is out of my control, so to speak.

MeinMMO: So, to more general questions. Bot lane is a role that is very present. Carry is also in the name, but it can also be heavily affected by the meta, as we have seen in the recent changes. How do you approach training, as the way you play ADC changes significantly depending on the patch?

Upset: Yeah, I would say that with Fearless [this refers to the Fearless Draft established in 2025] it’s a bit easier to incorporate your individual preferences. Before, it was very meta-dependent. I would now say that you have a bit more freedom. I think it just depends on finding what fits you very well and then implementing that.

MeinMMO: Would there be anything in general that you would wish from Riot for the ADC role for next year?

Upset: I’m relatively satisfied with the meta, so I play Kai’Sa, Zeri, I even played Vayne, a bit of Twitch, so I can’t complain.

MeinMMO: Is there any other champion, whether ADC or otherwise, no matter how absurd, that you would like to see more often in pro play?

Upset: Maybe, I mean, I have played Vayne already, but more Vayne. Vayne is a lot of fun, yeah. Exactly.

MeinMMO: Regarding the ADC role, it’s very mechanical, very difficult. How do you keep yourself fit for it?

Upset: I play about 80% of my life League of Legends, probably.

MeinMMO: Is there anything else you play?

Upset: I enjoy playing Magic: The Gathering. Yeah.

Beginner tips and the Fearless Draft

MeinMMO: If someone says: Hey, I want to get better at LoL. Beginners as ADC or generally: Do you have three quick tips that one should keep in mind to improve?

Upset: Yeah, learn from your mistakes – learn from your mistakes, farm better and don’t tilt.

MeinMMO: And looking towards the Worlds: Which ADC would you most like to face off against at the Worlds?

Upset: I would like to play against Viper again, it was so much fun back then. [Viper is the Korean ADC of the team Hanwha Life, which also qualified for the Worlds 2025.]

MeinMMO: […] Germany is still a bit under the radar, although it has produced many top players, including you and BrokenBlade. And you also played for Schalke from 2017 to 2019, and Schalke then stopped, then tried to play again, but it didn’t work too well. What does Germany lack, in your opinion, to become a top-League of Legends nation so that the whole world looks at Germany?

Upset: It’s very hard to say, there are certainly an unlimited number of factors that could lead to people playing less League in Germany or that the talent pool is decreasing [.] I don’t know, it’s too complex a topic, to be honest.

MeinMMO: Also in relation to tomorrow [referring to your match in the LEC semifinals against Movistar KOI]. If you win there, you’ll also have a third game, three days in a row. How does the preparation go so that you can handle that much pressure in such a short succession?

Upset: Yeah, it’s very difficult to come down after such a stage game in front of so many people. So tonight, we will just try to rest as best as possible, and luckily the coaches don’t have to play. So they can stay up a bit longer and hopefully develop a good strategy.

And then, yes, we will come here tomorrow rested and talk about how we want to approach the game. But most of the preparation has already been done over the entire year. So how we have worked over the whole year will show this weekend.

MeinMMO: Do you feel the energy of the fans in the game? I mean, when you sit in the audience, you can feel: Yes, this is Fnatic, these are the fans. Do you feel that on stage?

Upset: I just feel that I’m very in the zone. I see the game very clearly, it feels a bit slower, but at the same time not. Sometimes you play, and it’s a bit boring, and you get a bit stressed, you want to do something, but […] it feels slower, but at the same time, you are very present. Because the atmosphere is what it is. That’s the feeling, I would say.

MeinMMO: And in general, we’ve already talked about it. Fearless Draft, probably the biggest topic this year in LoL. Are you satisfied with it or would you prefer to focus more on individual champions?

Upset: In itself, I like a more structured approach to practice, and that is harder with Fearless because there is so much variation. But at the same time, if it gives me the opportunity to play characters that are my favorites but are not always meta, I also see a good side to that.

MeinMMO: Alright, that would be it.

Upset: Okay, thank you very much.

MeinMMO: Thank you.
