In FIFA 20 , EA Sports revealed all OTW players (Ones to Watch). These ratings spotlight the players’ cards (SIB) in the Ultimate Team mode.
These are the OTW cards in FIFA 20: After EA Sports released several OTW players in the past weeks, all Ones to Watch were revealed today, on September 24th.
In total, there are 23 stars in the spotlight – led by Hazard and Griezmann.
These are all OTW players with ratings:
The best OTW players in Ultimate Team
These are the top OTW: The OTW, abbreviated as “SIB” for “Stars in the Spotlight” in German, features Hazard, a player with an overall rating of over 90. Griezmann follows closely with 89.
OTW from the Bundesliga: From the Bundesliga perspective, Coutinho, Hernandez, Brandt, and Thorgan Hazard are included. If you want to build a Bundesliga team, you can try to pull one or more of them from packs or acquire them on the transfer market.
Tips for a strong and affordable Bundesliga team can be found here:

When will the 23 OTW players be available? The OTW event starts on September 27, 2019, at 7 PM. After that, you can pull the OTW from packs that may contain rare gold players. EA Sports has not yet revealed how long the packs will be available.
What about my OTW pack? Anyone who pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition of FIFA 20 before August 5th will receive a random OTW player as a preorder bonus. This pack will be available at the start of the OTW event on September 27th.
What are OTW actually? They are dynamic cards – meaning: Every time an OTW player receives a TOTW card or another special card during FUT 20, their OTW card will be automatically adjusted to that card and remain at the higher rating.
In other words: The better the player performs in real football (and receives a special card from EA Sports), the better your OTW card will be throughout the season. There will then be a form boost that reflects the latest values.
As soon as the OTW event starts, the cards will be available in packs. After the event, you can only acquire the OTW through the transfer market, where they are usually very expensive. Most OTW cards are quite sought after.

Patch 8.2.5 of WoW is already live in America and the first characters are currently playing through the war campaign. Here you can see how the major storyline ends.
A few hours ago, the Patch 8.2.5 went live in America. This includes the final step of the war campaign. The resistance is finally picking up pace and the final battle is approaching.
Spoiler Alert: If you don’t want to know how the war campaign ends, you should not read further!
The first cinematic from Patch 8.2.5 – Planning the attack
Before the battle: In preparation for the siege, Saurfang invites young Anduin and the remaining resistance members. They are planning an attack on Orgrimmar and are thinking about who the next Warchief could be.

The second cinematic – The fight of Saurfang against Sylvanas
The final battle for Orgrimmar: The siege of the resistance forces is picking up speed. The troops have gathered outside Orgrimmar, and the siege is about to begin. There are a few quests where you break the initial resistances before the siege is supposed to start. But then Saurfang appears and wants to challenge Sylvanas to Mak’gora – a duel for the leadership of the Horde. At that exact moment, this long cinematic begins:

This is what can be seen: The battle against Sylvanas begins and Saurfang seems to have no chance. Even though he has received Anduin’s weapons, Sylvanas keeps him at a distance effortlessly and severely injures him. She mocks him a little and then becomes the victim of a counterattack. However, it is just a small wound.
She loudly declares that the Horde has no value and that everyone around her has no value.
Just when Saurfang wants to continue the fight, Sylvanas casts a spell that instantly kills Saurfang. The hero of the Horde and leader of the rebellion falls. Sylvanas, however, transforms into a magical “cloud of smoke” and disappears, leaving the Horde behind.
Afterward, the remaining Horde characters, who have stood by Sylvanas until now, open the gate of Orgrimmar so that Saurfang’s body can be brought “home”.

The professional player and streamer Ninja, who gained a lot of attention through Fortnite, has a clear opinion on the new matchmaking and the bots that are set to be added to the game soon. Here’s what he thinks.
Which bots are meant? The “bots” are computer-controlled opponents. They will be added in Season 11 to play against real players. This is intended to help beginners practice and improve.
“Will it then be easier for stream snipers?”
What does the streamer Ninja think about the changes? Ninja commented in a stream that he doesn’t know what to think about these changes. He seems concerned about the stream snipers who would then find it even easier to troll streamers.
Why would stream snipers have an easier time? The leaderboard would be accessible to everyone. The stream snipers would see if they are at the same skill level as the streamers and then try to get into the same match. This way, they can troll the streamers even more often.
What does he think about the bots? Ninja wonders how the bots would function. Whether they can also build and push players. He asks: “Is there then a world where no bots are active anymore because one is too strong, or will the bots simply get stronger?” Overall, he seems unable to imagine that.
He adds: “I am a player who can have a lot of fun in the competitive scene if I want to.” He does not know whether it would be easier and more fun for beginners if bots played against them.
Here is the video of Ninja reacting to the changes:

The launch trailer for Destiny 2 has been released. Watch it here in German.
Bungie has now released: Today, on September 24th at 6 PM, the launch trailer for the upcoming autumn expansion Shadowkeep – or “Season of the Shadows” – was unveiled. In exactly one week, on October 1st, Shadowkeep will then be released.
Several hours in advance, Bungie teased this trailer with the words “Listen to the shadows …” You should listen to the shadows. What the shadows have to say, you will learn in this trailer. We have it in German for you:

You see this in the video: Eris Morn speaks to you in the trailer. She says you should listen to the shadows. They whisper “Death”.
Then you see the Guardians presumably in the Citadel of the Hive on the Moon. A creepy voice says: “Welcome, we have been waiting.” Morn reveals that “It knows we are coming.” She can feel it.
Then some action-packed scenes on the Moon are shown – with the urging that you should illuminate the Moon with your light. Tanks shoot rhythmically to the music and it lists what awaits you in Shadowkeep. From new quests and exotic gear to a new dungeon, a new raid, and PvP content to the Season of the Undying – which is included in Shadowkeep. Finishers and Armor 2.0 are also shown.

This is Shadowkeep: This expansion marks the start of Year 3 of Destiny 2. The Guardian adventures continue with a story about Eris Morn and the Moon.
Bungie writes about the story: As the heroes of the last safe city turn their focus to areas far away in the galaxy, new nightmares rise from an ancient evil that once lay dormant beneath the surface of the Moon. Awakened by Eris Morn’s curiosity, this evil poses a threat that even Eris does not understand.
In Shadowkeep, you must return to the Moon – this location was already present in Destiny 1 – and venture into a mysterious citadel of the Hive. You must help Eris eliminate the nightmares before they plunge humanity back into an age of darkness.
Eris Morn brings her glowing sphere along – and all sorts of dangers
In addition to the new story, you can expect a lot of new loot, new activities, a revamped armor system, a season pass system, new gameplay features like finishers, and unlimited power. We have summarized all the important information about Shadowkeep here:
The MMORPG Astellia is currently in headstart. The first players are now sharing their experiences and many are speaking very positively about the new game.
How did the headstart for Astellia go? On September 22 at 2:00 AM, the headstart for Astellia officially began. However, the MMORPG struggled with problems and server crashes, especially in Europe, during the first hours.
Since Saturday afternoon, Astellia has been running continuously, aside from two spontaneous maintenance periods, much to the delight of the players.
When is the official release? Currently, only players who previously purchased the legendary package (100 euros) or the platinum package (60 euros) can experience Astellia.
What do the first players say about Astellia? The sentiment towards the game on the Astellia reddit is currently very positive. Therefore, user Venstar90 opened a thread wishing for more hype around the game:
The scenery, the combat, the music, the atmosphere, the cutscenes, everything is significantly better than I expected.
Why the hell is the game not hyped?
In this thread, many users agree that Astellia deserves more attention and that players are unfairly “hating” the game in many areas.
What does Astellia do well? In the comments on reddit, the combat system is particularly praised:
At the forefront of the praise are the skill queues. Thanks to these, you can assign multiple skills to one button, which then become usable when the previously used skill is on cooldown.
On the other hand, players also like the Astels. They are supposed to meaningfully expand the combat system and not just be useless companions.
The reddit user Vz-Rei, who already has a character at the maximum level of 50, summarized the key points:
The game is really fun. It’s a classic Korean MMO, but it feels fair. No Pay2Win.
I particularly like the combination of Astels and their use in bosses, dungeons, and challenging quests for multiple players (Louise at level 20 # whocanrelate).
In terms of optimization, I haven’t heard any complaints in the guild; my PC can handle any settings.
He also praises the crafting, which he describes as “Runescape-Lite.”
Comparisons with other MMORPGs: Not only Vz-Rei makes comparisons to other MMORPGs. A complete reddit thread revolves around whether Astellia is similar to the MMORPG Aion.
The classes may not have similarities, but the fundamental gameplay certainly does. DemonicToys666 says:
One reason I like Astellia is that it plays very similarly to Aion. If you like Aion’s gameplay but want to experience something new, you’ll like Astellia.
Also, user the_guilty_party describes the two games as “cousins,” with Astellia being the more modern version featuring faster combat and new features, but you have to forgo the wings.
Boring quests and language issues
What does Astellia not do well? One major criticism of Astellia is the quests, which usually appear in large numbers but always consist of the same tasks.
The graphics are also not up to date, as user Ellendjenteres points out:
The game runs on DirectX 9 and the Unreal Engine 3. People complain that this is not up to date and therefore the game looks bad.
And Lolis. That’s a reason for some to like it, while others hate it for the same.
Players also have concerns about the endgame. User dnotel writes:
The game is generic as hell. If you like that, then you haven’t played any other MMORPG before. Wait until you reach the endgame and you’ll be bored after exactly one week.
The endgame is supposed to consist mainly of legendary dungeons, crafting and legendary equipment, PvP and the area Avalon.
What about the German language? One downside from our comments at Mein-MMO is the half-hearted implementation of the German texts in the game. User Bodicore writes:
Typical Asian developers again. All texts are in German at release…
The truth is, if you can’t speak English, you won’t understand much of the story, skills and interface are in German, but quest texts and cutscenes maybe only 30%.
The issues, especially at the beginning of the game, can also be confirmed by us as editorial staff. Community Manager Venecia provides a reason for this in the forum: Community Manager Venecia in the forum:
Especially in the first 10 levels of the game, our development team has implemented numerous new content. However, our localization team has not yet been able to tackle this, and that’s why it currently appears to you as if a large part of the game is in English or “Denglisch.”
This is not particularly pleasant since many players form their opinion at the beginning of the game.
Our localization team will now focus on this issue, and by early October, this part of the game should also be available to you in German. Thank you very much for your understanding and patience with us.
Astellia, a traditional theme park MMORPG
Who is Astellia suitable for? As the author of this article, I have already invested many hours in Astellia. The reason for this is mainly that the MMORPG does not make any major mistakes:
Those who have no issues with traditional quests, the very linear story, and the graphics, and can overlook or tolerate the cries of the Astels, will definitely find many enjoyable hours in this buy-to-play MMORPG.
Along with Astellia, the buy-to-play MMORPG ArcheAge Unchained will also be released soon. Which game suits you better?
The open beta of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is over, and many players are still in awe. However, some details need to be revised, according to fans.
How well is the game received? The latest installment of the Call of Duty series is celebrated by players. Already during the first beta weekend, there were almost only positive comments about the game. The well-known streamer Shroud even called it the best CoD game of all time.
On Twitch, nearly 100,000 people watched the new installment simultaneously at peak times. The competitor Fortnite was put in its place there.
However, despite all the positive vibes, some players also report annoying bugs or gameplay mechanics that are not well-received.
7 Things Beta Testers Criticize
Where do the criticisms come from? The remarks come from the players themselves. We have looked into this on Reddit, YouTube, and various other forums.
It’s important to know: So far, players could only try the beta version of Modern Warfare. It is common in a beta that things are tested and some details do not run smoothly yet.
Spawn Points in the Arms of the Opponents
What is the problem? One of the hottest topics during the beta was the spawn points. Various players show that they can practically stand in the opponents’ respawn point and eliminate dozens of rivals without any problems.
This causes annoyance among many fans. You can no longer prepare properly for the opponent, as they often defeat you before you can run properly.
What are players saying? Various threads on Reddit showcase the mentioned problem. Some players even call it the most important problem that Infinity Ward needs to fix.
For example, GJM1287 says: “I am glad they have two weekends to test the beta. This way they can really look at the problems and hopefully fix them before launch.”
What does the developer say? Infinity Ward has responded to this as well. In a Reddit post, they made it clear that the spawn system will be revised again before launch.
Bugs with Opponents’ Hitboxes
What is the problem? Various clips show that the opponents’ hitboxes are partly bugged. Especially the shotgun is affected by these issues.
There are videos showing that you shoot an opponent up close, but it is not counted as a hit. Only after several attempts is the opponent finally eliminated.
Damage Counts Oddly at Times
What is the problem? Normally, firefights go such that the shooter who hits first also gets the kill, as they have fired more shots.
However, reports of problems in such situations are on the rise in Modern Warfare. Many times, players have been eliminated even though they shot their opponent first. Here, a good balance does not seem to have been found yet.
Some players are handling this change really well, but many are still complaining. For example, it is mentioned on Reddit: “We need the standard minimap back; I understand that Infinity Ward tried to do something different, but it is an unnecessary change.”
Sound is Too Loud and Steps are Too Quiet
What is the problem? These difficulties are expressed by the Twitch streamer Shroud. For him, the game is perfect, but the sound and screen shaking is causing him trouble. Especially things like killstreaks are extremely loud when used.

Thus, the former CS:GO pro says: “Screen shaking and noises, there are so many sounds, everything is so loud that steps are almost impossible to hear. Nevertheless, the game feels good.”
What does the developer say? These concerns from Shroud have also been addressed. In a Recap of the Beta, it was stated that work is also being done on sound and screen shaking. How extensive changes can be expected remains to be seen.
Negative Opinions on Matchmaking
40 maps could come to Modern Warfare. At least that’s what a leak suggests:
What is the problem? Several players have shared their experiences with matchmaking. The YouTuber S0ur shows in a video that the beta actually implements a strong skill-based matchmaking system.

This does not sit well with every tester. Especially good players say they are annoyed by this. They are always in a lobby with other strong players and have to exert themselves extremely. While it can be fun at times, one also wants to celebrate some successes more easily.
What are players saying? GamingHermit2k17 says on Reddit: “Skill-based matchmaking is so bad. It completely destroys multiplayer when you deal with extreme try-hards every day. It’s no fun at all.”
Diverse Graphics Bugs
What is the problem? Many graphical bugs will surely be fixed before the launch of Modern Warfare, but they were prevalent in the beta.
For instance, buildings and streets suddenly have completely different colors and appear colorful. This also leads to difficulties in recognizing opponents.
40 maps could come to Modern Warfare. At least that’s what a leak suggests:
Google has announced a Play Pass. We explain which games and apps are included in the Google Play Pass, what is needed, and what else you need to know about Google’s new subscription.
What is Google Play Pass? The Google Play Pass is a subscription service from Google for its own app store. In contrast to Apple Arcade, there is access not only to games but also to paid apps. There are currently no exclusive deals. Below we explain:
What the Google Play Pass costs and what is included
PS4 players are eagerly waiting for the release of the free games from PS Plus for October 2019. We will show you which free games for the PlayStation 4 fans can expect.
When will the games be revealed? Normally, the games for PS Plus are revealed on the Wednesday before the first Tuesday of the new month. Anyone doing the math will realize that this should be the case tomorrow.
Players on the PlayStation 4 are now eagerly awaiting the reveal on September 25th. If everything goes according to plan, the games should be finalized at 5:30 PM.
For PS4 players, this is always an exciting event, as the rotation of free games allows you to discover games you might have overlooked. Sometimes older beloved titles are included in the selection, bringing nostalgia to fans.
When will the new PS Plus games be active? After the announcement of the games, you will have to wait a little longer. Only on Tuesday, October 1st, can you play them.
Until then, you can still play the free games from September.
Predictions for PS Plus in October 2019 on PlayStation 4
In so-called “prediction threads”, fans regularly collect their guesses as to which games will be free in the upcoming month. On Reddit , these posts receive many upvotes and comments.
The most popular guess: Based on the number of upvotes, a user leads with the claim that a horror game will probably make it into the selection. After all, it is October, and that fits with Halloween.
Which game that would be, the user leaves open. Players suggest in the replies games like The Last of Us (Remastered). Others find this questionable, as the game has already sold exceptionally well, and a large part of players already owns the title, it is debated.
However, since The Last of Us 2 is supposed to be presented in more detail tonight, on September 24th at 10 PM, it is likely that the Remastered version of The Last of Us will become part of the ongoing advertising campaign for the PS Plus game.
Others are also thinking about the horror action-adventure Dying Light as a highlight in October.
Other guesses: The following games are also frequently suggested for PS Plus in October:
The third-person shooter The Order: 1886
The action RPG Vampyr
The survival horror Resident Evil 7
The first-person shooter Killzone: Shadow Fall
Which games do you wish for PS Plus in October 2019? Write your desired titles in the comments.
PlayStation Plus offers you benefits in the PS Store

Additionally, as a PS Plus member, you receive special discounts in the PlayStation Store and access to online multiplayer.
Do you keep free games from PS Plus without a subscription? Without an active subscription, you cannot play the games you secured as free games from PS Plus. However, they remain recorded on your account. When you restart the subscription, you regain access to these games.
In Pokémon GO, the altered form of Giratina has returned. We show you how to defeat the legendary Pokémon in a trio at level 25.
When is the chance for Giratina? You now have almost a month to encounter the legendary Pokémon in the current raids. It will be available until October 17 and also brings its shiny version.
So you are not always dependent on large raid groups, we show you here how you can easily defeat Giratina at level 25.
How to defeat the altered form of Giratina with just three players
Use these counters: A big advantage in the fight against Giratina is its many weaknesses. You can use Pokémon of the types Ice, Ghost, Dark, Dragon, and Fairy.
Use these tips: Fight together with friends with whom you have a high friendship level. That way, you can have a massive bonus in battle, especially when fighting with best friends.
But the weather also plays a role. Fog and snow are currently unlikely, but windy weather occurs more often in autumn. Then, you can effectively use your dragon Pokémon.
In our calculations, however, we did not consider the weather. So even without a weather bonus, you can easily take on Giratina in a trio.
Meet these requirements: At this low level, it is essential that your Pokémon are actually at level 25. You also need to rely on a good friendship level. If you are best friends with all players, it will just about work.
The best counter against Giratina is Rayquaza
Use these Pokémon: Even at this low level, the options for counters are great. Especially dragon Pokémon are good.
Rayquaza with Dragon Tail and Outrage
Salamence with Dragon Tail and Outrage
Palkia with Dragon Tail and Draco Meteor
Garchomp with Dragon Tail and Outrage
Dialga with Fire Breath and Draco Meteor
Dragonite with Dragon Tail and Outrage
Giratina (Altered Form) with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
Defeat Giratina at level 30 – Here’s how
Meet these requirements: Here you have a bit more leeway. If you use the counters mentioned above, then the friendship level is not as crucial anymore. If you need more options, you should focus on friendship again.
Use these Pokémon: At level 30, you can use Pokémon of all effective types. The selection is large.
Gengar with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
Mamoswine with Powder Snow and Avalanche
Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball
Latios with Fire Breath and Dragon Claw
Chandelure with Hex and Shadow Ball
Snorunt with Fake Out and Avalanche
Hydreigon with Fire Breath and Dark Pulse
Glaceon with Frost Breath and Avalanche
Gardevoir with Charm and Dazzling Gleam
Tyranitar with Bite and Crunch
Defeat Giratina at level 35 – Here’s how
Meet these requirements: There are no real requirements here anymore. Just pay attention to the right moves of the Pokémon. If you need more options again, you should also focus on friendship levels.
Latias and Latios are solid counters
Use these Pokémon: Here come several Pokémon that are normally not used in battles. So if you are looking for alternatives, you can use the following Pokémon at level 35:
Latias with Fire Breath and Outrage
Togekiss with Charm and Dazzling Gleam
Granbull with Charm and Play Rough
Rhyperior with Mud-Slap and Dark Pulse
Absol with Mud-Slap and Dark Pulse
Rayquaza with Dragon Tail and Outrage
Defeat Giratina at level 40 – Here’s how
Meet these requirements: With Pokémon at level 40, you should have no problems in a trio. If you want to let different Pokémon fight, then focus on the friendship level.
Use these Pokémon: In addition to the over 20 Pokémon you can already use, five more monsters are added, provided they are at level 40.
Alola Exeggutor with Dragon Tail and Dragon Pulse
Banette with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
Houndoom with Mud-Slap and Foul Play
Roserade with Frost Breath and Avalanche
Ursaring with Shadow Claw and Play Rough
How difficult is the battle really? If you are already at a high level and have enough strong counters, you will have no issues with the altered form of Giratina in a trio.
In pairs, you can only defeat Giratina in windy weather. However, you should then use a dragon team at maximum level. This is therefore only for real experts.
There are also news about the EX Raids with Mewtwo:
The fact that an MMORPG is being released for smartphones is no longer a rarity today. However, the new ArcheAge Walk has a special feature. It mixes elements from Pokémon GO with those of an RPG to attract players.
What is ArcheAge Walk? The mobile game is set to become an MMORPG that takes place in the universe of ArcheAge. It operates based on location, meaning you will need to move and cover distances in the real world, similar to Pokémon GO.
So far, it is known:
Players will be able to fight monsters as in other MMORPGs.
Features like housing and personal vehicles are expected to play a significant role.
The game is supposed to be fun and provide a great sense of achievement.
How exactly the location-based technology will be utilized is still unknown, but screenshots provide a first glimpse into a possible system.
What do the images show? In the first image, you can see the character interface and the equipped gear. The second image shows the housing. There, the player is currently placing a piece of furniture.
The third image is the most exciting because it gives an insight into the game world. Apparently, you need to move in order to encounter opponents.
Who is behind ArcheAge Walk? The new mobile game is said to be developed by Life MMO Corp. They have signed a contract with XLGames, the developer of ArcheAge.
Life MMO Corp is a subsidiary of Kakao Games, which is known as the publisher of PUBG and the MMORPG competitor Black Desert.
Correction: Originally, it was stated here that Kakao Games was involved in the development of Black Desert Mobile. This is not correct, as Pearl Abyss has informed us. BDO Mobile is only developed and distributed by Pearl Abyss.
Fishing in Black Desert Mobile
How far along is the development of ArcheAge Walk? Kakao Games announced just yesterday, on September 23, that there is a collaboration between the companies.
According to mmorpg.org.pl, ArcheAge Walk is not expected to be released in Korea until the second half of 2020. Whether it will even come to the West is currently unknown.
In August, another mobile MMORPG was released in Germany. You can play it now:
In FIFA 20, players are looking for the best formation. Here is a lineup along with tactics that are particularly recommended for starting in Ultimate Team.
What is the best formation all about? There isn’t really a “best formation.” It always depends on your preferred play style and the players you have available on how you best set up your team.
If you, for example, don’t have any fast players, it’s advisable to avoid a 4-3-3 that relies on speedy wingers. If you’re lacking strong center-backs, a five-man defense is not the best choice.
The formation determines how you build your gameplay, with which tactics you enter the match. If you focus on possession, counters, or fast wide players, then you need to select different formations. There isn’t a single best formation – it simply doesn’t exist.
What formations do professionals play in FIFA 20? Nevertheless, a handful of formations quickly crystallize in the weeks following a FIFA launch that professionals successfully use. Currently, at a very early point after the FIFA 20 release, these formations are popular:
4-2-2-2
Offensive 4-3-3 (4)
4-4-2
4-1-2-1-2 (wide and narrow)
YouTuber Ovvy particularly recommends a formation that is supposed to be excellent with the following tactical settings: the 4-2-2-2.
Recommended editorial content

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms.
Read more about our privacy policy.
Why 4-2-2-2? The 4-2-2-2 is a quite balanced formation that is strong in both offense and defense. It gives you many options in attack: you can play through the wings, but also try your luck through the middle, as there are two real strikers lurking there. In FIFA 20, both can be effective.
The 4-2-2-2 has its strengths in that you have many players both upfront and in the back, and the center is secured by two central midfielders. Possession football is therefore possible as well as a fast game forward.
A disadvantage is that the outside positions are occupied by attacking midfielders who do not always have particularly high pace stats. Therefore, this formation is not optimal for counter-attacks.
Use this tactic: In your team overview, you can set tactics that allow you to further adjust your players’ behavior on the pitch. Set the 4-2-2-2 like this:
Defense:
Balanced
Width: 5
Depth: 4
Offense:
Balanced (or Fast Build-up if you feel that you’re lacking in offense)
Width: 5
Players in the box: 5
Corners: 3
Free kicks: 3
Instructions for the players
Use these instructions: In addition to the tactics, you can also assign individual instructions to the players:
Left and Right Backs: Select “Stay Back While Attacking” for the attacking runs
Both central midfielders: Select “Cover Center” for defensive position
Offensive attacking midfielders: Select “Get Forward” for position freedom.
Note on the 4-3-3: The offensive 4-3-3 (4) is the favorite formation of many players because it is very offensive and makes good use of strong, fast wingers. With the two central midfielders, the space in front of the defense is also secured.
In FIFA 20, this formation excites many players – just like in FIFA 19. If you have strong wingers, you can definitely try this one out.
But top players on the wings are expensive in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team. Therefore, you can start with the 4-2-2-2 and later, if you wish and have the right players for it, switch to the 4-3-3.
In the coming weeks, two new MMORPGs will be released with Astellia and ArcheAge Unchained. Both originally come from Asia and both have the same payment model. But which one fits your play style better?
The five classes in Astellia and two Astells in the foreground
How much do the games cost? Astellia is available for pre-order for 40 euros and is expected to be reduced to 30 euros after the release.
For ArcheAge Unchained, you pay between 25.99 and 79.99 euros for pre-order depending on the package. However, the packages only offer cosmetic advantages, titles, and real money currency.
Themepark vs. Sandbox
MMORPGs are often categorized into one of the two categories, even if they are not always easy to distinguish. Themepark MMOs usually have linear quests and are more focused on story, while the freedom is at the forefront in sandbox games.
Astellia – The Themepark MMO
How is Astellia structured? Astellia aims to appeal to classic MMORPG fans. It focuses on:
Five classes.
Holy Trinity.
Dungeons.
A linear questline that guides you from area to area.
Quests guide you through the story in which you want to find your little sister Fey. She was kidnapped by demonic attackers due to her strong powers.
Astellia is thus a classic theme park MMORPG, where you are led through the game world.
Trade and interactions with players take center stage.
While there is also a story here, it is told more peripherally and does not delve so deeply into the quests. However, the open world is much more dangerous, partly due to other players who can attack you in higher areas.
When creating a character, you automatically join one of two factions that are at war with each other. Additionally, there are also pirates who are hostile to everyone.

What Unique Features Do the Two MMORPGs Have?
Are there features that other MMORPGs don’t have? In ArcheAge, there is a criminal system that punishes players who behave unfairly in PvP.
At the same time, since the Hiram update in autumn 2018, there is also the opportunity to join the pirates without becoming an outlaw. This introduces a third faction that largely causes unrest at sea.
Astellia has fewer unique features compared to other MMORPGs. However, one particular feature is the Astels, small companions that support you in battle.
They can heal, tank, or deal damage but consume their own resource, so you can’t use them continuously.
Big Differences in Endgame
In the endgame, you will clearly notice which of the two MMORPGs suits you. This is where the biggest differences between Astellia and ArcheAge Unchained lie.
What does Astellia value in endgame? Once your character reaches the maximum level of 50 and has completed the story, Astellia’s endgame begins. This focuses on:
To perfect your equipment, you need to find the highest levels and then upgrade them. The equipment can also be downgraded, so you will be busy for a while.
Upgrading equipment can also go wrong
What does ArcheAge Unchained value in endgame? The endgame of ArcheAge focuses primarily on your creativity. You can:
Become a trader or collector and earn a lot of money
Build your own house and invest time and money in it
Become a pirate and rob people
Engage in open world PvP and fight for forts as a guild
Your endgame equipment has become significantly easier to obtain since the Hiram update. There are also daily quests waiting for you to keep you occupied.
Differences Beyond Gameplay
What does the graphics look like? In terms of graphics, opinions are divided. Both MMORPGs have an Asian style and are very colorful. However, in ArcheAge, the colors appear a bit more vibrant than in Astellia.
The interfaces of both games differ little and allow for customization like moving elements.
ArcheAge (left) vs. Astellia (right)
Are both games available in German? The MMORPG ArcheAge supports the German language in text and speech. The cutscenes are also completely available in a German version.
Astellia only has an English voiceover. The written texts are in German, at least some. Both in the quests and in the cutscenes, there are repeatedly English sections in the current version.
Do the MMORPGs have Pay2Win? Both Astellia and ArcheAge Unchained rely on a real-money shop with cosmetic content.
In Astellia, alongside special skins, there are also three time-limited packages that are similar to a subscription. However, they do not provide gameplay advantages in endgame and are also available via in-game currency.
This is also the big difference from the classic ArcheAge, which is Free2Play. There, there is a monthly subscription that provides gameplay advantages in housing, labor points, and other content.
Both Games Are Expected to Have a Future
What updates are planned? ArcheAge Unchained will already get a major update upon release that will also improve the graphics in some areas.
Subsequently, the MMORPG is to be further developed as before, just like the Free2Play version.
For Astellia, the developers plan to remove the gender locks on three classes in 2019 as well as the festivals of Christmas and Halloween. Later, major class expansions and possibly raids may follow.
A series of Astels that have given the game its name
Which Game Should I Play?
What is the conclusion? ArcheAge Unchained and Astellia differ little in price and payment model. However, they focus on completely different areas, especially in the endgame:
If you prefer to be free to set your own goals and have no problems with open-world PvP, ArcheAge Unchained is a good fit for you.
If you are looking for a good theme park MMORPG, enjoy going into dungeons, and like rigid class structures, you might find a new home in Astellia.
Apple Arcade is available. We have the information on initial reviews, games, and the cancellation of the service. You will also find out if you can use controllers and when Apple TV will be supported.
What is Apple Arcade? Apple Arcade is a gaming subscription integrated into Apple’s App Store. For €4.99 per month, you get access to around 100 games. Some games are said to be exclusively available on Apple Arcade. We want to show you the following:
what Apple Arcade costs and what it includes
which platforms and devices are supported
which games are available
what the first reviews say about Apple Arcade
and whether you can use your own controller
Which platforms/devices are supported?
So far, only a few devices work with Apple Arcade, but more will follow soon:
Since the launch on September 19, 2019, Apple Arcade supports the iPhone and iPod Touch with iOS 13.
From September 30, iPad and Apple TV are also expected to be supported.
Starting in October, Apple Arcade will launch on Macintosh computers with the release of macOS 10.15 (Catalina).
Does Apple Arcade also work with Android phones? Apple Arcade only supports its own hardware. Android devices or consoles are not supported.
What does Apple Arcade cost and what features are there??
This is what Apple promises on its own website about Apple Arcade
This is what Apple Arcade costs: In Germany, Apple Arcade costs €4.99 per month. If you install the upgrade to iOS 13, you can try a free 30-day subscription. The trial subscription can be canceled at any time.
This is what Apple Arcade promises. If you have an Apple Arcade subscription, all titles in Arcade are free for you. There are neither purchasable titles nor free-to-play games with in-game purchases. Additionally, there is no annoying advertising.
Is Apple Arcade suitable for families/children?
Family sharing: Apple Arcade works with a family subscription, meaning you can access Apple Arcade with six different devices. With six people, that’s just one euro per person per month.
Child protection: Apple’s parental controls also work, so you can limit the screen time of children to a healthy level.
Data protection and downloads?
According to Apple, you get to decide who you share your data with. Since advertising in Apple Arcade is not intended, there are also no ad trackers that can track you.
Can I use Apple Arcade offline? Apple Arcade also allows you to download games directly to your device and play them offline. If you have a long train ride ahead, you can download the appropriate games in advance.
Also convenient: All game saves are synchronized.
Can I cancel my Apple Arcade subscription?
Can I cancel the subscription? If you are using the free subscription, you must cancel it within the time frame; otherwise, it will automatically renew after expiration until you cancel it.

Are you more interested in games on Android? Then check out our article on the best mobile MMOs. Here we have summarized the best MMOs, MMORPGs, and online games for the year 2019 and mention the strengths and weaknesses of each game:
This is what the first reviews say about Apple Arcade
Computerbild sees no great advantages in Apple Arcade. For those who have mainly played free-to-play titles like Doodle Jump or Angry Birds, Apple Arcade will not be worth it.
Additionally, the exclusive titles offer no more than those that can be purchased anyway. For those who download a new game every day, Apple Arcade could prove to be an alternative.
A somewhat different view comes from Techradar. Here the testers see the biggest advantage for families and gamers who want to avoid in-game purchases and advertising – either for the protection of children or due to intrusive ads. However, so far, the Apple Arcade library mainly consists of unknown or simple games.
The testers from TomsGuide criticize Apple Arcade for only allowing game subscriptions, with no purchasing option. For the testers, the price of €4.99 for about 100 games is more than fair; they describe the price as “absolute steal for a few bucks a month.”
Otherwise, Apple Arcade works like any other subscription system: new games come in, and some may disappear as well.
MeinMMO author Robert says: Apple Arcade could be the salvation for all troubled gamers who cannot and do not want to deal with freemium games, ads, and in-app purchases. Due to the absence of advertising and the non-necessity of presenting expensive in-app purchases, the creators of the games can focus on what really matters: the game itself. The selection of games at launch is still a bit thin and includes only a few true hits, but Apple will likely improve this over time.
Can I use a controller with Apple Arcade?
Both PS4 and Xbox One controllers can be connected to an Apple TV and used for selected Arcade games. But keep in mind that Apple TV will only be supported from September 30. If you want to play on an Apple TV with your controller, you should wait until you have a subscription until after September 30.
Are there other gaming services?
Google’s alternative: Google plans a similar subscription model with the Google Play Pass as Apple with Apple Arcade. The Google Play Pass will launch in September but only in the USA. Whether the Play Pass will come to Germany is not yet known.
If you are interested in streaming: If you are still looking for the right game streaming service, check out our Google Stadia article, which we regularly update for you:
At the end of a match in Apex Legends, special scenes unfolded to decide the winner. There was an exciting close combat in a 1v3.
What a fight it was! In Apex Legends, brawls in close combat are becoming more frequent, even though players are equipped with weapons. They agree to discard guns, ammunition, items, and shields to resolve the confrontation with fists and feet.
This is about a team that faced a single player with three members and lost. They fought in 1v1s.
What did it look like in the game? There is video footage on Reddit from the player Willster191, who took it on alone against the 3-person team.
After being revived, Willster repeatedly crouched and then threw the contents of his inventory onto the ground. With this gesture, he showed the other players that he wanted to fight without weapons. They agreed and also threw their stuff on the ground.
In the first 1v1, he faced Pathfinder. The fight was extremely close but favored Willster. He was even able to heal afterwards to enter the next fight stronger.
In the 1v1 against Wraith, he was also able to prevail with kicks and punches.

Now the final duel against Bangalore was about to take place. Willster quickly landed 3 hits without taking damage himself. Bangalore quickly pulled back, grabbed a weapon, fired in the direction of the close combat fighter, and missed. Without losing health points, Willster won this third fight and was crowned the champion of the match.
The Public Test Server (PTS) phase for the next major Title Update 6 of The Division 2 is in full swing. Massive regularly releases new information about the planned changes. Many of the new features are announced by the developers through provisional patch notes. However, apparently not everything is disclosed…
What’s coming in The Division 2? For some time now, test servers on PC have been running for the next major Title Update 6. The developers at Massive announce many of the PTS changes through provisional patch notes. However, these changes are not yet set in stone, as the test server is used for further balancing and testing of the planned innovations.
However, it seems that Massive is not revealing everything in the patch notes. Recently, we reported on newly discovered exotic knee pads that were not included in the patch notes, and the dedicated test server agents even found more.
Provisional patch notes do not reveal everything
We have compiled some of the interesting possible innovations that have been discovered for you.
Loot Goblins
During his forays through the test servers, the agent “Cipher Breaker” found a new class of enemies and was able to discover its provisional name: “Loot Goblin”:
Image of a “Loot Goblin” from Cipher Breaker on reddit
Loot Goblins are already known from other MMOs and are usually quite popular. The Division variant seems to be wandering aimlessly through the streets of the test servers, waiting to be discovered.
Equipped with a large backpack and a pistol, the treasure holders try to run away from the agents to protect their hopefully valuable cargo. With a bit of patience, the “Loot Goblins” can also be provoked, leading to the kill screen.
The skittish backpackers currently drop a yellow high-end item upon kill and are not too difficult to take down.
If these “treasure goblins” do indeed make it into the game, it seems like there will be more improvements needed.
Guardians
Another new enemy class was revealed through a tutorial screen on the PTS and could come to the game with Title Update 6.
The “Guardians” are not just a Destiny Easter egg but represent a new gameplay function within NPC groups.
Image of the “Guardian” tutorial screen from a YouTube video by Epic Slay3rs
“Guardians” protect the rest of their fire team with a buff that completely shields enemies from damage. Eliminating the “Guardian” shocks the remaining opposing fire team with the anti-damage buff, making them vulnerable to incoming damage again.
The player who takes down the “Guardian” receives a buff with the following properties:
Increased weapon damage
Increased fire rate
Reduced reload time
Armor is replenished
Global Events
Global events were already present in The Division 1. These often took place monthly over a certain period and provided the agents with more variety in their usual activities. Now, there are indications that The Division 2 will soon introduce “Global Events” as well.
Image of the “Global Event” tutorial screen from a YouTube video by Epic Slay3rs
The events will likely take place over several days again and present agents with tasks equipped with specific gameplay modifiers – such as less weapon damage but more grenade damage.
Those who sign up for the events will gain access to daily challenges and reward tiers. Depending on the achieved reward tier, prizes will be distributed.
Judging by the tutorial screen, these rewards are not linked to a global leaderboard anymore. Whether the Global Events will actually come and in what form remains to be seen.
The Shooting Range
The shooting range is already a good tool for assessing one’s own strength. However, currently, it is only possible to adjust the strength of the opposing training target or to shoot a few rounds at multiple enemies.
However, not a few talents are also dependent on other factors, such as the distance to the opponent, and assessing their influence on one’s own damage is often difficult to impossible.
Image of the new shooting range consoles from a video by -The_Soldier-
The image from a video also posted by “-The_Soldier-” on reddit shows some nice new features of the training shooting range.
If this upgrade comes to pass, agents will have the option to take damage through a console or reset the cooldown of skills. Additionally, the distance of the target can also be manually adjusted on the damage-per-second setting.
Are there any other updates regarding Title Update 6? At the moment, many new details about the planned contents and changes are emerging. Among other things, a new PvP mode is coming, as well as adjustments to crafting.
The Public Test Server phase ends on October 1st, and the developers have also announced the Title Update for October. You can find more information about balance changes or new talents here:
In FIFA 20 Ultimate Team, we present starter teams for the Bundesliga. Here is the best Bundesliga team by rating and a budget-friendly but still strong Bundesliga team for the start of FUT 20.
Which league in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team? At the start of FUT 20, many fans are wondering which league to build their Ultimate Team around. Should I choose the strong Premier League? Or Serie A with Piemonte Calcio? Maybe try one of the smaller leagues? Or should I stay loyal to the Bundesliga?
Because in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team it makes sense to focus on one league at the beginning to quickly achieve high chemistry values. Chemistry boosts your player values.
Tips for a Bundesliga Ultimate Team: The Bundesliga offers some exciting players in FUT 20, with which you can create powerful top teams. We give you some tips and suggestions on which players are particularly worth it.
[toc]
Bundesliga team in FUT 20 with the best rating
This is the best Bundesliga team in FIFA 20 FUT: If you want to intimidate your opponents with absolute top players with high ratings, this is a team for you:
Best Bundesliga strikers for FUT 20
Best Bundesliga strikers for your team: Robert Lewandowski is the outstanding striker of the Bundesliga. With a rating of 89, he has 6 points more than the second-best striker: Timo Werner.
Nonetheless, Timo Werner is likely to be in high demand. With 92, he brings incredible pace. In terms of shooting, passing, dribbling, and physicality, he may not reach Lewandowski’s level, but if you focus on pace, Werner is your man. He has an overall rating of 83 – this also applies to Paco Alcacer and Andrej Kramaric.
Best Bundesliga wingers: Coutinho from Bayern has the highest overall rating of all wingers – which is why he is in the upper team. But since his pace is relatively low, many fans will prefer other alternatives.
On the left side, Kingsley Coman (84 rating, 92 pace) or Leon Bailey (82 rating, 91 pace) are outstanding. Perisic and Kostic are more good options.
On the right side, Serge Gnabry or Jadon Sancho are a must. Both have a rating of 84. Since Gnabry is a little faster and has a significantly better shooting rating, he ends up in the top Bundesliga XI. Good alternatives with a rating of 82 are Thorgan Hazard and Karim Bellarabi.
Best central midfield players: Reus stands out as the CAM over all other Bundesliga CAMs. Thomas Müller, with an 86 rating, and Kai Havertz and Brandt, each with an 84 rating, lag a little behind.
In the case of central and defensive midfielders, Thiago stands out. He has a rating of 87 and high values in dribbling and passing. He is also one of the few 5-star skillers in the Bundesliga. Axel Witsel or Leon Goretzka can be positioned alongside Thiago – both are quite fast and have good physicality.
Best defenders for FUT 20
Best full-backs: Kimmich is the best right-back in the Bundesliga. His overall rating is high, but his pace isn’t. Piszczek is only a little faster, while Kevin Mbabu has a high speed of 91. However, he only has a 77 rating.
Alaba has the highest overall rating among left-backs. However, he faces faster competition in Nico Schulz and Jerome Roussillon, both of whom have an overall rating of 82.
The best center-backs: Mats Hummels (87) and Niklas Süle (85) have the highest ratings. If you’re looking for really fast center-backs, you’ll be happy with Lucas Hernandez and Manuel Akanji.
Best goalkeepers in the Bundesliga: Manuel Neuer has an 88 rating. Roman Bürki and Peter Gulacsi follow with 85 ratings. The Bundesliga also has other strong goalkeepers, like Sommer or Pavlenka.
Other Bundesliga players with the highest ratings in FIFA 20 can be found here:
Cheap Bundesliga team to start: The top Bundesliga players are coveted, but also quite expensive, especially at the beginning of the FUT 20 season. With the following players, you can put together a solid, relatively inexpensive starter team. Keep in mind that prices vary from platform to platform and can fluctuate over time:
Cheap strikers: Besides Lewandowski and Werner, the other Bundesliga strikers are quite cheap. With Poulsen, you can get a fast ST for under 1800 coins.
Cheap wingers: If you have around 2500 coins, you can find the lightning-fast RF Ihlas Bebou. Cheaper options are significantly slower, like Patrick Herrmann or Ibrahima Traoré. On the left wing, you can get a fast LF in Rashica for under 2000.
Cheap CM, CDM, CAM: The Bundesliga offers many strong midfielders, but it gets really cheap only below an 82 rating. Forsberg and Sabitzer are strong CAMs for under 1500 coins, and Weigl and Eggestein are good CM for under 1000.
Cheap center-backs: If you have around 2000 coins, Vogt is a strong, fast center-back. Sven Bender, Martin Hinteregger, or Nastasic are good alternatives and are each available for under 1300. Mukiele from Leipzig is also cheap. With a pace of 77, his other stats are not very good.
Cheap right-backs, left-backs: You can get a Stefan Lainer as a right-back for under 1000 coins. He has a good pace of 85. Fast left-backs like Schulz or Hakimi go straight into the thousands, so you should buy a Philipp Max for around 1500. His pace and rating are solid.
Cheap goalkeeper: Since there are so many good goalkeepers in the Bundesliga, you can already get a Yann Sommer for around 3000 coins. A Baumann (82) is even available for around 1200 coins.
Which Bundesliga players are you starting with in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team?
In Pokémon GO, the return of Giratina also brings new raid bosses. Many trainers find these bosses boring and wish for real variety.
That’s why there’s the change: Mewtwo has left the legendary raids with the end of the Ultra Bonus. Giratina is now here and brings a wave of new bosses in general.
Some Pokémon from the last raid bosses remain available and can now be found in raids again for the umpteenth time. Many trainers criticize this.
The new raid bosses for Giratina in September 2019
Raid Level
Pokémon
Level 1 Raid (red egg)
Shinx Gible Drifloon Electrike
Level 2 Raid (red egg)
Flunkifer Alolan Marowak Sableye Drifblim Sneasel
Level 3 Raid (yellow egg)
Gengar Granbull Machamp Golbat Alolan Raichu
Level 4 Raid (yellow egg)
Absol Togetic Alolan Raticate Houndoom Dragonite
Level 5 Raid (black egg)
Giratina (Altered Form)
Are the bosses worth it? Especially shiny hunters will get their money’s worth here. Electrike can for example appear in a shiny version, but it cannot be caught in the wild. That’s why the raids are so important.
Electrike also comes in shiny
In terms of strength, Gengar, Golbat (evolves into Mamoswine) and Dragonite are particularly interesting. They are all good counters against Giratina. So if you do not have a good fighting team against Giratina yet, you should consider using these Pokémon.
What problem do players see? For many trainers, there is simply too little variety in the raids. Although some Pokémon from the Unova region have now come into the raids, especially the higher-level raids have consisted of the same raid pool for weeks.
As “swanny246” writes on Reddit: “Regardless of the 1-star raids, it’s been the same as before for a while now, hasn’t it? I am for something completely new in the 2- to 4-star raids. Where are all the Gen 4 Pokémon?
How long will the bosses remain? Probably with the end of Giratina, there will also be new raid bosses. The legendary Pokémon will disappear on October 17 and make way for the next raid boss. What Pokémon that will be is still unknown.
There are also news about EX Raids. Mewtwo will be available for only a few weeks:
Destiny 2 Shadowkeep is just around the corner and will bring new seasons that will cover different themes. While Season 8 is about the Vex, Season 9, according to the latest Bungie ViDoc, will be about fixing the timeline. But what could that mean?
What do we know about Season 9? While Bungie is revealing more details about the first season of Shadowkeep, the Season of the Undying, information about the following Season 9 is still scarce. This is said to be called Season of Dawn, but what it will entail is still unknown.
However, there was a small hint about Season of Dawn in the last ViDoc. In a scene, Luke Smith and Production Director Justin Truman were standing in front of a whiteboard that apparently was supposed to cover individual details of the upcoming seasons of Shadowkeep. For Season of Dawn, Smith noted “Fix the Timeline”.
You can watch the relevant ViDoc again here:

What could “Fix the Timeline” mean? This little phrase has sparked a lot of discussion in the community. After all, there are several questions that remain unanswered:
Will we perhaps even solve the riddle of the shotgun Perfect Paradox, which we found at the grave of Saint-14? One theory is that our Guardian gave the weapon to Saint-14, which we then received as a paradox at a later point at his corpse.
What do Smith and Truman mean by “Fix the Timeline”?
Some players speculate that “Fix the Timeline” addresses the most obvious issue: the curse of the Dreaming City. Since the first curse week, Guardians have been looking for clues on how the 3-week cycle of the city can be broken.
Recently, the theory emerged that players must reach a power level of 999 to face Dûl Incaru one last time and defeat her once and for all. A power level of 999 could become possible with Shadowkeep and the seasonal artifacts.
One possibility that immediately came to players’ minds with the term “Timeline” is time travel. Season 8 deals with the Vex, who are known to be able to move through space and time with their technology.
Do Guardians gain the ability to travel through time in their confrontation with the Vex and thereby unlock the secrets of the past, perhaps undoing the curse of the Dreaming City?
Why does the timeline need to be repaired? In the Destiny universe, there have been many unresolved questions since Destiny 1 that have not yet found answers in Destiny 2. Some points are repeatedly addressed, such as the Exo Stranger, of whom Mara Sov spoke during an audience simultaneously in the past and future.
Many story threads are added with each DLC, each season without ever finding a real conclusion.
However, this is set to change with the upcoming expansion “Shadowkeep”, as Luke Smith confirmed at this year’s E3. Instead of telling its own story again, Shadowkeep will continue the ongoing narrative of the base game of Destiny 2 and address open questions.
A brilliant combination of Bastion and Symmetra makes commentators and fans of Overwatch go wild – thanks to a Symmetra buff.
Although Overwatch is no longer a brand new game, there are still plays that surprise viewers and players alike, with strategies no one expected. A combination of Symmetra and Bastion has caused a stir, as it effectively countered the opposing team.
What happened? The team “Battle Gold” had to defend in the Ukatsu High School Esports League on the map “Volskaya Industries”. They chose Symmetra and Bastion as DPS heroes. Both are heroes that can deal extremely high damage. However, Bastion often only works if the entire team is built around him. Unless you use this strategy:

Symmetra created two portals on different platforms on the rooftops of Volskaya. Bastion switched into turret mode exactly on this portal, allowing him to fire on the enemies.
Once the opposing team feels secure, Bastion – still in turret form – jumps through the portal and changes his shooting angle. He repeats this several times until the opposing team is worn down and destroyed.
Commentators are thrilled: Even the commentators can hardly contain their excitement during this play. “Oh my God, what am I seeing here? What am I seeing here?! This is a 200 IQ play!” You can also hear the spectators in the background, apparently also very impressed by this strategy.
Strategy is still relatively new: It is also important to know that this strategy has not been possible for long in this way. Not long ago, Symmetra received an update in a patch.
This meant that her portal can now remain active indefinitely – until it is destroyed. If opponents are unable to destroy the portal, Bastion can essentially switch between the two positions endlessly and keep firing at the enemies.
Have you seen this strategy and its execution before? What do you think of this approach?
