Annoying Rabbids chase players in For Honor – players ask: What is this?

Andreas Bertits 1. April 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

In the action game For Honor, you now have to fend off an invasion of the cute Rabbids. Ubisoft turns this event into a playable April Fools’ joke.

What was announced? Ubisoft launched a special event in the action game For Honor today. Until April 2 at 6 AM, the Rabbids are attacking in the game. With toilet brushes and plungers!

As part of this event, you can receive a melee package as an exclusive reward.

A Playable April Fools’ Joke

Is this an April Fools’ joke? Yes, basically it is. Just a playable one. Because the Rabbids are really in For Honor.

More on the topic

For Honor – Is anyone actually playing it in 2018?

von Tom Rothstein

Who are the Rabbids anyway? The “Raving Rabbids” actually come from Ubisoft’s Rayman games. There, they represented the enemies in the fourth part, but due to their lovable and chaotic, albeit somewhat annoying nature, they won the hearts of the players.

Since the Rabbids were so well received, Ubisoft gave them not only their own games but even a TV series. Even Super Mario had to deal with the crazy characters in the strategy game Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.

Currently, a movie based on the crazy white rabbits is also in development.

The Fans Hate and Love It

How do players react? The event currently divides the player base of For Honor. Some find it very funny. And for several reasons:

Finally, they can give the annoying Rabbids a piece of their mind!
Beating up the Rabbids is just fun, as they bring a lot of humor and charm to the game.
It’s simply a funny event that fits with April 1st.

Others believe that it does not fit at all with For Honor, as the story and gameplay are very serious, and the Rabbids represent nothing but chaos, bringing disorder to the game. White cartoon bunnies in a battle game? Unthinkable for many. Many are wondering what this is all about.

Apollyon_is_my_Warfu writes on Reddit: “I don’t know what to think of this. On one hand, it’s WTF, on the other, it’s the perfect April Fools’ joke because so many hate it, but it is also so fantastic.”

Hearthstone: Mit dieser Karte bekommen Hexenmeister eine zweite Chance

Cortyn 1. April 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

New cards for Hearthstone have been presented. Especially Warlocks will get a powerful toy in their hands. But Mages can also be pleased.

The next expansion for Blizzard’s card game Hearthstone is titled “Conspiracy of Shadows” and will be released in a few days. As usual, streamers and professional players will reveal all cards in advance together with Blizzard. We want to briefly introduce you to a few new highlights here.

Warlocks will love the new spell Surprising Turn. For 2 mana, the entire hand of the Warlock is shuffled into the deck and then exactly as many cards are drawn as were previously in hand.

So if you have “only garbage” in your hand, you can try your luck and get a second chance to turn the game around. The more cards the player had in hand, the greater the chance of drawing something useful.

Everyone gets the neutral legendary minion Archmage Vargoth. For 4 mana, he only has stats of 2/6, but comes with a powerful effect. At the end of the player’s turn, a spell cast by the player is recast – with random target selection. With a Fireball, this might backfire (it could hit allies), but a Flame Strike would simply be doubled, dealing 8 damage to all enemies. Many interesting combinations await here.

Also intriguing is another Mage, a neutral minion. Big Bad Archmage costs a hefty 10 mana but has weak stats of 6/6. However, he compensates for this by summoning a random minion for 6 mana at the end of his owner’s turn. So if you don’t eliminate this card early, it will pay off quickly.

For those looking for an effective solution to clear out many small minions, the neutral minion Ramming Skull could be appealing. For 8 mana, Ramming Skull has stats of 3/12 and Rush. Additionally, he can attack again each time he kills a minion. If you manage to buff Ramming Skull when he appears, you can eliminate multiple strong enemies at once. Inner Fire from the Priest is particularly suitable for this.

Last but not least, Rogues also get a new legendary minion. The Goblin Tak Snoutbeard costs 7 mana and has stats of 6/6. His passive effect ensures that when a card is shuffled into the deck, a copy of that card is added to your hand. If you manage to combine this minion with the spell Knowledge Theft, you suddenly have 10 cards from the opposing class in hand for 1 mana.

The new expansion Conspiracy of Shadows will be released on April 9.

What do you think of these new cards? Do you like them and do they inspire new deck ideas? Or are the cards “just garbage”?

Rap legend spreads rumors about own appearance in Borderlands 3

Sven Galitzki 1. April 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The US rap legend Ice T is putting himself in the conversation for the upcoming Borderlands 3. What’s behind it?

What’s the connection between Ice T and Borderlands 3? The legendary US rapper Ice T is now 61 years old. However, he still has a passion for video games, which he regularly showcases on social media. Just recently, he convinced skeptics of his connection to Destiny 2 with his max-level Guardian.

Now there are rumors about another looter-shooter. Ice T is being linked to the recently officially announced Borderlands 3 – and he himself is the source.

Is Ice T lending his voice to a Borderlands 3 character?

What’s it all about? It all started with a conversation on Twitter. There, Ice T once again commented on “Gaming Stuff”. He always introduces his posts about video games and related topics this way – a popular subject among many of his followers.

He wrote: “Gamer Stuff: There’s a rumor that I’m doing a voiceover in Borderlands.”

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the Twitter content

Shortly thereafter, the official Borderlands 3 account responded with: “Who would spread such a rumor?”

The interesting thing is: There were actually no rumors about a possible collaboration before this. Thus, Ice T brought himself into the game.

How likely is a collaboration? Although Ice T’s statement has not been confirmed, many fans see this conversation as a successful marketing gag meant to reveal the collaboration.

Because before the recent announcement, there were only rumors about Borderlands 3 for years. The manner of “revealing as a rumor” would fit well with this image and the humor of the Borderlands series, according to many fans.

Since the statement also came from Ice T himself, many fans believe he didn’t just make it for fun. Many would be excited about an appearance by the big rap icon in such a highly anticipated title.

A character that would fit Ice T or sounds like Ice T was not identifiable by fans in the reveal trailer for Borderlands 3.

This week should bring further details about Borderlands 3. Maybe there will be more information about a possible engagement of the rapper.

Artist claims "Fortnite stole my picture for a skin", is exposed as a fraud

Schuhmann 1. April 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite , Epic regularly brings new skins into the ship. An amateur artist from DeviantArt accused Epic of stealing her image and using it for the skin Taro. However, this quickly turned out to be a hoax. It was exactly the other way around.

This was the accusation: Fortnite released the skin “Taro” in the cash shop on November 14. This is an Asian-looking skin with a white mask and turquoise hair.

A user from the DeviantArt platform came forward this weekend and showed Taro and her own image, which she allegedly painted some time ago (Featured image via Fortnitenews).

In direct comparison, it seemed plausible that Epic had drawn from the artist’s template.

The accusation was clear: The billion-dollar company Epic is going around stealing the work of a starving artist, making millions from it, and not even giving a pat on the back as a thank you.

This is simply terrible, they steal their art without giving anything back, said the allegedly robbed artist.

Fortnite-Skin-Frozen — Epic is known for drawing inspiration from “famous skins.”

This is what Epic said: When asked, Epic responded that they take these accusations very seriously and have initiated investigations to check this.

This escalated over the weekend and many believed it.

Hoax artist added image to gallery afterwards

This is how the hoax was uncovered: Another user on DeviantArt looked into the matter and exposed the accusation as a hoax.

The user “Pyro-Zombie” said he is an artist himself and was initially outraged by these accusations, but then he looked into it and found that the artist had made it up.

https://twitter.com/DingDongVG/status/1112518668133384192

Google cache reveals the hoax

By checking the cache, Pyro-Zombie found out that the supposedly robbed artist simply edited her gallery to add the “new image” afterwards. In older versions of the gallery, there was a completely different image in that place.

The exposed hoax artist then deleted the accusations.

The supposedly robbed artist had thus designed “her” image based on the skin and not the other way around.

PewDiePie admits defeat, YouTube has a new king

Patrick Freese 1. April 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The fight lasted for several months, and now PewDiePie admits defeat. In a kind of diss track, he “congratulates” the now largest YouTube channel.

This is what happened: The YouTube channel of T-Series is now the largest channel with 92,122,899 subscribers. It overtook the YouTuber PewDiePie, who has 92,101,581 subscribers. (As of April 1, 10:00 AM)

It is not the first time that the YouTube channel of T-Series is larger than that of PewDiePie. Now, however, the lead has lasted several days, which is why the race is considered over.

PewDiePie officially admits defeat. He uploaded the video “Congratulations”, in which he congratulates T-Series in a kind of diss track. In the video, there are repeated jibes and accusations:

T-Series would have “only needed to upload every song from Bollywood”
PewDiePie hopes that T-Series did not build its business on the sale of stolen songs, as one reads on Wikipedia
Furthermore, PewDiePie hints in the video that the CEO of T-Series has committed tax evasion

Link to the YouTube content

Who is it about? The YouTuber Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg was for a long time the largest channel on the video platform YouTube. In August 2018, the YouTube channel of T-Series drew attention, rapidly catching up in subscribers.

After PewDiePie noticed that a serious competitor is on the field in T-Series, he asked his fans for support. He wanted to remain the number 1 on the platform. The movement “Subscribe to PewDiePie” started shortly thereafter.

This is how the battle between the channels unfolded: Since 2013, Kjellberg with his channel was considered the biggest YouTuber. Then came the big competition with T-Series. The subscription numbers of the Indian channel skyrocketed. As Polygon reports, this is due to several factors. The channel comes from India, where 225 million people use YouTube every month. Additionally, the channel is considered the largest Bollywood source on YouTube. Anyone searching for Bollywood entertainment or their favorite artists from India ends up there.

PewDiePie’s fans spread the words “Subscribe to PewDiePie” across the internet. On Reddit, YouTube, Twitter, and other social networks, one saw this again and again. The community tried to reach as many people as possible so that they would subscribe to the Swede and secure his lead over T-Series.

In December 2018, the service of GTA Online was hacked. Every player suddenly saw the message “Subscribe to PewDiePie” on their screen
YouTuber colleagues bought advertising with the slogan “Subscribe to PewDiePie”, even for 1 million dollars in Times Square (via YouTube)
In February, PewDiePie streamed the battle royale “Fortnite” to reach a large community that holds many potential subscribers for him

Since February 2019, the subscriber gap between the two YouTube channels has been small. Often, the ranks 1 and 2 switched only for a few hours. Now, however, T-Series seems to be definitively in the lead.

Update: The tide has turned again. Apparently, PewDiePie’s fans do not want to accept defeat and are giving the Swede some subscriptions again. So many that PewDiePie is now back in the lead. On April 1 at 5:16 PM, PewDiePie leads the race with 33,704 subscribers.

Due to clicks and subscriptions on YouTube, there are now major problems:

Star Citizen brings a touch of Star Wars to the game with Alpha 3.5

Andreas Bertits 1. April 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

With Alpha 3.5, the space online game Star Citizen introduces a new planet resembling Coruscant from Star Wars. It is a huge city where you can pick up quests among other things.

Which planet is coming into play? It is the world of ArcCorp, located in the Stanton system. Almost the entire surface is covered with buildings.

Star Citizen Wars

Why does the planet remind of Star Wars? The seat of government of the Republic in the prequels to Star Wars was located on the planet Coruscant. This planet is also completely covered by buildings – just like ArcCorp.

What does ArcCorp offer? The world is a hotspot for anyone looking to quickly get quests and buy new ships or better equip their spaceships. You will find many shops in Hub Area 18 and furthermore quest givers.

What else does the update offer? In addition to the possibility to now also create female characters, gravity will be introduced in atmospheric flight. This means that your spaceships will behave differently when approaching a planet once they enter the atmosphere.

As a result, you will have to act more cautiously during landings – especially with the numerous buildings of ArcCorp.

Additionally, a new control system for the ships will be integrated. With this, you should be able to steer even more accurately and precisely.

Alpha 3.5 Excites Fans

How are the players reacting? On the test server, Alpha 3.5 is already playable for some supporters.

Players are especially enthusiastic about the new planet. Zooming through the skyscrapers apparently is a lot of fun. In addition, players are exploring all angles of Area 18, as there are even some small alleys full of details.

The planet is not only compared to Coruscant from Star Wars, but even to the Blade Runner films, as the many high-rise buildings and neon advertisements evoke that futuristic feeling from the Hollywood flicks.

Overall, Alpha 3.5 is well received on the Star Citizen test server. When the alpha will be made available to everyone else is still unknown.

The large games forum closes for April 1st, citing very serious reasons

Schuhmann 1. April 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The popular subreddit r/Games will be closed for a day on April 1st. However, this is not about avoiding bad April Fools’ jokes, but about making a statement against the hate that comes from gamers.

What is r/games? This is the part of Reddit where people want to discuss games in general. Most other subreddits are dedicated to specific games or genres, while r/games serves as a place to discuss all video games.

While r/gaming mainly consists of people posting funny videos and memes, r/Games links to English articles from gaming sites, tweets, or YouTube videos, and then thousands discuss how to classify what is happening in the world of games.

The subreddit has 1.7 million subscribers.
The fun subreddit r/gaming, by the way, has 21.5 million.

Anthem-Klauninchen-Flammen — Anthem has been a big topic in r/games over the past few weeks.

That’s why r/games will close on April 1st: The mods published a message the day before (via reddit/Games). They say: They want to take April 1st a bit more seriously this time and highlight something that is becoming a growing problem in the subreddit community and in other gaming communities:

The subreddit has become a battleground of conflicting ideas.

The moderators then give examples of posts:

that are against transgender people
that are shaped by homophobia
that are directed against Muslims
with racist content
with misogynistic content
that advocate for pedophilia or rape
that contain malicious attacks against others

This is nasty stuff when you click through. For example, comments are linked that approve of the attack in New Zealand on mosques. Or people talk extensively about each other’s penises and say they are probably microscopic. Developers are accused of throwing out gay people who were certainly brainwashed by other gay people.

Fallout 76 Mittelfinger Vault Boy — Fallout 76 was discussed very critically on r/games for weeks.

The moderators say: This happens every day in the subreddit. It makes it difficult for the moderators to create an environment where everyone feels welcome.

There are also bright spots where the community comes together to follow the central idea: to discuss and enjoy video games together.

Because even though the gaming industry as a whole has many difficulties, we are fortunate today to be able to play so many fantastic games, from AAA titles down to indie games that come from nowhere.

The letter then ends with numerous links to organizations that represent the interests of LGBT+, women, or ethnic minorities.

A new leak shows how extensive the 1st raid in The Division 2 will be

Sven Galitzki 1. April 2019 Reading time 5 minutes

In The Division 2, fans are eagerly awaiting World Tier 5 and the first raid. After official information was already released at the launch of World Tier 5, a leak now reveals what agents can expect in the raid “Operation: Dark Hours”.

What is the new leak about? Recently, first details were leaked regarding the first raid of The Division 2. The leak included supposed tasks, trophies, and other minor details. Now, potential information about raid mechanics and flow has been published by the same source, Reddit user keviddavid40.

What the new leak about the raid of The Division 2 reveals

Warning, possible spoilers ahead: Anyone who wants to discover the raid for themselves should not continue reading. Furthermore, the information is not officially confirmed and should be viewed with appropriate caution.

According to keviddavid40, the information comes from data mining. Here’s what they reveal about the first raid of The Division 2:

Powerplay Items

What kind of items are these? New items, called Powerplay Items, will be introduced in the raid. Each plays an important role and is supposed to help your agents.

They are not standard raid loot. Consider them more as a type of extra help or power-up. If you manage to get them, your life in the raid will be easier. If not, you will have to tackle the raid the “normal” way.

What makes the items special:

They are not available at all times or at will
They can be used only a limited number of times
They are found in hidden spots in the raid. Each of these spots has a unique symbol
You need to eliminate special elite NPCs to get a key that grants access to the hidden spots
These special elite enemies appear only rarely in the raid. There is no consistent pattern. It depends on chance and luck whether you run into them
You have only a short, limited window of time to eliminate these enemies. If you fail, they will not appear again in the ongoing raid session

What can the items do? If you manage to get one or more of these items, you will be rewarded with valuable effects.

Dark Drinker has a limited active time and refills ammunition for the individual weapons of the three specializations – that is, for the crossbow, the grenade launcher, and the heavy sniper
Dark Devourer grants unlimited skill recharge for a limited time. If a skill is currently being used, this effect is inactive
Thieves Den allows you to see certain boxes with cosmetics or exotics. Only the player using this item can see the boxes. Sharing the found gear is not possible
G. Philips Protocol allows you to temporarily have the feared Hunters fight on your side against elite enemies
Dawn of Dark unlocks a hidden checkpoint at your current location

This is how the raid Operation: Dark Hours unfolds

The leak also reveals numerous supposed details about the flow of the raid. Apparently, Operation: Dark Hours is divided into four phases:

Phase 1 – The Bridge: The first raid encounter takes place on the Arlington Bridge, according to the leak. All 8 players must make it to the other side alive.

During this phase, no skills can be used. However, some NPCs will drop items called “Intensifiers”. These will boost player weapon damage.

At the end of the bridge, one of the agents is marked as “hunted”. Only they can see the hidden escape route. Enemies will then focus on this player and do everything to prevent you from reaching them in time.

If the team fails, the marked agent must try to reach the next location while avoiding the so-called Interceptors.

More on the topic

That’s why many agents believe: you return to New York in The Division 2

von Tom Rothstein

Phase 2 – Bazaar: The next location on the way to the airport is the so-called Bazaar area. This is a large area where players split into two four-member squads.

One team must hide until nightfall. The other team must make their way to the lookout tower in the hills north of the Bazaar area – either by fighting or by cleverly avoiding encounters.

The hidden team must then scout the Bazaar area at night and search for a stolen GPS. Hunters will make their lives difficult. Once they find the device, they must signal the other team in the lookout tower with a flare.

This team must use the GPS coordinates to fire rockets. This starts the first real encounter “Blackout” for both teams. An attack by elite enemies follows. All 8 agents must reach the extraction point alive, which the two squads will reach via different routes.

If an agent falls behind, they must rejoin their team by following the route and staying as low-key as possible.

Phase 3 – Parking Area: The next location is the parking area of the airport. Once the teams regroup at a playable element, they must fight their way to the upper area. There, they need to mark a pickup zone for an important NPC they encountered while escaping from elite enemies.

This section will apparently not be a walk in the park. Agents will face artillery strikes as well as Apache helicopters that will terrorize them at every turn. The collected NPC must survive.

Phase 4: The Runway: The final section of the raid takes place on the runway. Here, the raid team is again split into two squads.

They must flank the main target, which they will not attack themselves. Most of the time, this enemy will be dragging crates to a transport plane. Apparently, this opponent has the most health in the game.

Moreover, they will be guarded by another enemy, a kind of mini-boss, who can wipe out the entire raid team with one of their attacks if not stopped in time.

Pokémon GO: 5 things players wish for the Bug Event

Noah Struthoff 1. April 2019 Reading time 4 minutes

In Pokémon GO the Bug Event is approaching and players are already discussing what you might expect. We present to you 5 wishes from the community.

What are these wishes? Players have numerous wishes for every event in Pokémon GO. We have selected 5 things that sound quite plausible and might be implemented.

However, none of the wishes have to come true. So far, they are just theories from the player base.

These 5 wishes are from the players

Where do the wishes come from? On Reddit there are numerous opinions about the event surrounding the bugs. We took a look there and searched for the things that were wished for the most.

When does the event start? Already on April 2 at 9 PM we will be dealing with the bugs. By then, we will know if some wishes have come true.

Wish 1: Nincada returns to the game

This is the wish: Players have been waiting for the return of Nincada for weeks. The bug Pokémon is absolutely wished to return for the event. This is the wish that players express the most.

How realistic is that? The chances of a return release are good. After all, Nincada is a bug Pokémon and Niantic is also listening to the community’s wishes.

Additionally, there are special bug quests for the event, where a Nincada would fit ideally as a reward.

Wish 2: Shiny Scyther comes to the game

This is the wish: It was already visible in the announcement image, which is why many players wish for the shiny form of Scyther. This form does not exist yet.

How realistic is that? Niantic likes to release shinies for events. Scyther is quite likely since it is a bug and so far only its normal form is available to catch.

Although it was shown in the announcement image, we also saw Myrapla for the Plant Event there. However, it was not released as a shiny afterward. So the image does not mean much.

Wish 3: New Bug Pokémon from Gen 4 come

This is the wish: In the 4th generation, there are still missing bug Pokémon. Players wish for the release of Burmy, Burmadame, and Moterpel.

How realistic is that? All 3 Pokémon have already been found in the code. For Niantic, it would be no challenge to release these bugs. Moreover, they would fit well into such an event.

However, there have been many moments where Niantic could have released suitable Pokémon. This was recently the case with the limited research involving Lotad. There was nothing from the developers there either.

Wish 4: Volbeat and Illumise swap regions

This is the wish: The two regional bug-type Pokémon, Illumise and Volbeat, are supposed to swap regions for the event.

How realistic is that? At the time, during the global release of Plusle and Minun, many players were surprised. Niantic is known for such actions.

Nonetheless, it is probably more of a wish. It would fit well, but with Lunatone and Solrock having just swapped regions recently, it seems less likely.

Wish 5: There is another chance at Ninjask

This is the wish: Not only Nincada is supposed to return. Ninjask should also be released again. After all, this Pokémon has only been available in the research breakthrough in November.

How realistic is that? At the moment, there is no way to obtain Ninjask. Many players are still missing this bug Pokémon. It is quite conceivable that this Pokémon will be released again during a bug event.

As a research breakthrough, it probably won’t come since we already have 8 other Pokémon there. It could potentially come from a quest.

What are your wishes for the event? Which suggestions do you find good here?

Have you heard about the April Fool’s joke from Pokémon GO?

Fallout 76 – The chef says: “We had launch issues, but the sales figures are very, very good”

Andreas Bertits 1. April 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

Bethesda’s Todd Howard spoke at the PAX East gaming convention regarding the launch of the online game Fallout 76. While he admitted that the launch did not go well, he also stated that the title sold very, very well.

What Todd Howard meant: Bethesda’s producer addressed the rocky launch of the online game Fallout 76 and the criticism that the title faced during PAX East.

Howard explained that issues emerged during development. Four teams from multiple studios had to be coordinated, all working on Fallout 76 during a growth phase at Bethesda. This approach and the project itself were new for the studio.

Howard explained that the team had hoped that the problems would not manifest in the final product, but that is exactly what happened. Although Bethesda expected a rocky start, the severity of the issues surprised the company.

Fallout 76 has apparently sold very, very well

So not everything is bad: Howard also stated that Fallout 76 has sold very, very well. And Bethesda has already planned to support the online game with updates over the coming years.

Howard specifically addressed the legendary items and mentioned that the aim is to provide players with new ways to acquire these items, possibly through special instances that offer legendary items as rewards.

Why should this be taken with caution? Todd Howard, as producer, naturally wants his game to appear in a good light even after all the criticism. Therefore, it is clear that he speaks of very good sales figures and wants to assure fans that further updates will come and that the title will be supported for a long time.

However, he did not provide exact figures, and in an online game, waning player interest can come swiftly. Such statements without evidence should always be consumed with some skepticism; nonetheless, it is likely that Fallout 76 did not sell as poorly as some believe.

Players are pleased with the statement, but skepticism remains

What do the players think? Fans of Fallout 76 are pleased that Bethesda has finally addressed the situation and is being honest about it. They appreciate that Todd Howard admits to problems and does not downplay the situation.

QuietPig stated on Reddit: “I am glad that Bethesda is showing a bit of responsibility here.”

Regarding the sales of the game, opinions are somewhat divided. Some fans believe that the “hate” directed at Fallout 76 was exaggerated and that there were only a few vocal players who were disappointed because Fallout 76 was not Fallout 5.

lostnknox commented on Reddit: “Can we assume now that the haters have not managed to ruin Fallout 76 for all those who enjoy it? It was probably the most hated game in gaming history, and the hate was completely exaggerated.”
Others remain skeptical. ModAbuseo stated: “The game sold well? That would be news to me. In my store, even the free bundles with Fallout 76 aren’t moving.”
NakedAndBehindYou said: “The game deserved the hate at launch because it was a disaster. However, Bethesda managed to remove many of the bugs, and now Fallout 76 is better than it was at release.”

Dota 2 Auto Chess: The Best Units – Tier List April 2019

Alexander Leitsch 1. April 2019 Reading time 7 minutes

The balance of the individual units in Dota 2 Auto Chess is constantly adjusted and optimized. In this tier list, we have gathered the best units for April 2019 for you.

What is the basis for the list? The tier list was created based on the data from Metabomb and Dotahaven. Additionally, the author’s own experience has been incorporated. All rankings explaining why the units are strong were also created by the author.

The tier list is meant to serve as a good classification for you. However, this does not mean that the corresponding units are always the best in every situation.

In this list, we show you the strongest and weakest units sorted by gold. Currently, the two gods that were introduced on March 30 are missing.

They will be added in the coming days when the community has gathered more experience with them. However, they seem strong at first glance, especially when taking advantage of the race bonus.

If you want to familiarize yourself with Dota 2 Auto Chess in general, you can find a beginner guide on it.

The best units for 1 gold

When you start a match, you initially have units for 1 gold available. Here, you can already lay the foundation for the future team setup.

These units are top tier:

Axe – Orc/Warrior
Bounty Hunter – Goblin/Assassin
Anti-Mage – Elf/Demon Hunter

The character Axe provides many synergies relatively early on. Orcs can be quickly found with Juggernaut or Beastmaster for two gold each, and three warriors create an early bonus effect.

With Bounty Hunter, it’s similar with the goblins. Additionally, the unit is already quite strong due to its damage.

The Anti-Mage takes out many units that require mana, especially in the beginning. In the midgame, the Anti-Mage falls off a bit, but becomes stronger again in the endgame.

These units are strong:

Clockwork – Goblin/Mech
Tinker – Goblin/Mech
Enchantress – Beast/Druid

For Clockwork and Tinker , they are strong due to their early synergies. 3 goblins and 2 mechs can almost completely be covered by the both of them. Add in a Bounty Hunter, and you have a strong initial lineup.

Enchantress has strong healing at the beginning. Additionally, she can be quickly leveled up with the druid skill. She can also be regularly bought, combined, and resold to generate 1 gold.

You can do without these units:

Bat Rider – Troll/Knight
Tiny – Elemental/Warrior
Shadow Shaman – Troll/Shaman

The troll bonus would only become effective with the Troll Warlord, and you don’t necessarily get him. Additionally, both Bat Rider and Shadow Shaman are weak in terms of stats.

Tiny has synergies with warriors, but also anti-synergies by throwing enemies away with his ability. Sometimes this saves enemy units’ lives, and they can use their ultimate ability again.

The best units for 2 gold

With the units for 2 gold, you can create initial synergies. Accordingly, the units benefit from what you bought in the first rounds.

These units are top tier:

Beastmaster – Orc/Hunter
Juggernaut – Orc/Warrior
Timbersaw – Goblin/Mech
Queen of Pain – Demon/Assassin

For Beastmaster and Juggernaut , it is somewhat similar to Axe. They are orcs, which makes earning the bonus easy. Three warriors are also easily obtainable in the early game.

Timbersaw also has good chances as a goblin and mech to generate bonuses with Clockwork, Bounty Hunter, and/or Tinker .

Queen of Pain is the first demon and therefore important as it brings a 50% damage bonus. Additionally, she does good AoE damage with her abilities in the early game.

These units are strong:

Slardar – Naga/Warrior
Luna – Elf/Knight

Slardar has a high base damage and is also a warrior. Good conditions to complement the team with orcs.

Luna has attacks that hit multiple opponents, making her versatile. An early combination with two knights like Chaos Knight or Omniknight is possible. With a second knight, Luna’s strength increases, although the other knights are currently rather weak.

You can do without these units:

Crystal Maiden – Human/Mage
Puck – Elf/Mage
Morphling – Elemental/Assassin
Furion – Elf/Druid
Slark – Naga/Assassin (currently removed because too weak)

This list includes two mages, Crystal Maiden and Puck. Mages can be strong when you have many of them together. Alone, however, they are weak, except for Razor. Puck is absolutely required for the dragon combo, but it is currently not as strong as it used to be. Crystal Maiden could make her big appearance in combination with the gods, though.

The Morphling has a similar problem to Tiny. When he uses his ability, he jumps to another position on the field. Although he is invulnerable, this also gives the opposing team time.

Although Furion and Treant (3 gold) are identical in races/classes, Furion’s stats are weaker, and his skill is more useless. Therefore, he ranks much lower.

The best units for 3 gold

The midgame is largely driven by units for 3 and 4 gold. However, especially in the 3 gold area, there are many special units that are often only useful in combination.

These units are top tier:

Shadow Fiend – Demon/Warlock
Terrorblade – Demon/Demon Hunter

The two demons Shadow Fiend and Terrorblade are extremely strong units in the midgame and deal a lot of damage. Since not every demon is used, they usually benefit from their race bonus. Terrorblade also received an update in March that significantly strengthened his ability.

These units are strong:

Razor – Elemental/Mage
Windranger – Elf/Hunter
Lycan – Beast/Warrior
Treant – Elf/Druid

The Razor deals good damage and hits many targets with his attacks. If you upgrade a Razor to level 2 early, it can enable a mage team, which is particularly strong in the midgame. However, you should have eliminated nearly every other player by midgame.

The unit Windranger has strong area damage in the form of her arrow attack if positioned well and shot in the right direction. However, if this arrow goes nowhere, Windranger was useless in the fight. The elf bonus allows evasion and simultaneously strengthens other elves.

Lycan is weak at level 1. However, at the second level, he usually lives long enough to summon his wolves, which deal good damage. As a beast and warrior, he allows good combinations with Tusk and of course other warriors.

The druid Treant can be easily leveled up. As an elf, he can be used to give much-needed evasion chance to Anti-Mage, Windranger and Templar Assassin early on.

You can do without these units:

Lina – Human/Mage
Abaddon – Undead/Knight
Viper – Dragon/Assassin
Venomancer – Beast/Assassin
Riki – Satyr/Assassin (currently removed because too weak)
Sand King – Beast/Assassin (currently removed because too weak)

Lina as a mage suffers from the same problems as Crystal Maiden and Keeper of the Light for 4 gold. Strong in a full mage group in the midgame, but otherwise rather weak.

Abaddon is an average unit himself, but has the disadvantage that the other knights are currently not that strong. Consequently, Abaddon is also neglected.

The unit Viper works well in combination with other assassins and is needed for the dragon bonus. Unless you build your team around it, you don’t need Viper . As a single unit, it’s very weak.

Venomancer is only good if you want to defeat opponents particularly quickly. By spawning additional creatures, you deal more damage to the opponent’s courier. Otherwise, the unit is weak, and you rarely rely on the bonus of all four beasts.

The best units for 4 gold

The epic units are almost all really good. However, Medusa and Ork Disruptor are so good that they put some legendary units to shame.

These units are top tier:

Medusa – Naga/Hunter
Lone Druid – Beast/Druid
Ork Disruptor – Orc/Shaman

The Medusa still has an extremely strong CC despite several nerfs. That’s why she’s often used. Particularly at level 2, she can single-handedly decide a duel. As a Naga, she harmonizes excellently with Tidehunter, who also relies on CC.

The Lone Druid has a powerful weapon with his tier companion. As a druid, he can be quickly raised to level 3. Usually, he is also the only unit for 4 or 5 gold to reach this level.

The Ork Disruptor has an AoE silence, contributing to CC as well. Moreover, he is an Ork, which harmonizes wonderfully with the three cheap and also strong Orks. As a shaman, he only needs one more to hex an opponent at the start of the game, which is again CC.

These units are strong:

Kunka – Human/Warrior
Troll Warlord – Troll/Warrior
Doom – Demon/Warrior
Necrophos – Undead/Warlock
Templar Assassin – Elf/Assassin

Kunka, Troll Warlord, and Doom can all work alone, but impress particularly in the combination of warriors. The Troll deals lots of damage, while Kunka hits opponents in AoE with his ship. Doom is a demon and, therefore, takes advantage of his racial benefits.

Necrophos is generally a strong unit but seldom realizes his synergies.

Templar Assassin is also strong on her own, but especially useful in combination with other elves and/or assassins. Usually, you only build on these units when you already possess a Templar Assassin.

Alchemist – Goblin/Warlock
Keeper of the Light – Human/Mage

You can do without these units:

The Alchemist is currently weak, and his skill doesn’t have enough impact on opponents. As a cheaper unit, he might be useful, but his goblin bonus usually comes too late in the game.

Keeper of the Light suffers from the same problems as the other mages.

The best units for 5 gold

In the late game, legendary units come into play. And many of them are really, really strong. Getting a unit to level two can decide a game in some situations.

These units are top tier:

Tidehunter – Naga/Hunter
Enigma – Elemental/Warlock
Lich – Undead/Mage
Techies – Goblin/Mech

The Tidehunter along with Medusa has the strongest CC in the game. Coincidentally, both are Naga and thus increase the magic resistance of all allied units. Additionally, both are hunters and can still deal damage to opponents.

Enigma and Lich are both strong at dealing damage. Both also hit multiple opponents with their abilities.

Techies can place a bomb that hits a large part of the field, dealing damage. He is also a goblin and mech. Even though the bonuses decline in the late game, a strong team can still be formed from them.

These units are strong:

Death Prophet
Gyrocopter – Dwarf/Mech

The two units Death Prophet and Gyrocopter are only slightly weaker than the other four legendaries. Particularly if you’re lacking area damage, Gyrocopter is a good alternative.

You can do without these units:

Legendary units are generally so strong that they displace many others. If you have a weak unit that doesn’t contribute to synergies, you should always replace it with legendary units.

Auto Chess is becoming increasingly popular among streamers, especially among Hearthstone players:

WoW increases artifact knowledge even further, farming will become easier

Cortyn 1. April 2019 Reading time 2 minutes

The artifact knowledge for the Heart of Azeroth in World of Warcraft is increasing even further. This means a lot less farming in the coming weeks.

The artifact knowledge in World of Warcraft speeds up the rate at which players can level up their artifact, the Heart of Azeroth. It was thought that the provisional maximum had already been reached, but Blizzard spontaneously changed its plans. In the coming weeks, there will be even more artifact knowledge.

How much artifact knowledge is there? Blizzard announced that the artifact knowledge will increase for four more weeks. Each week (every Wednesday), the necessary amount of artifact power required for the next level will decrease by nearly 30%.

A practical example: Anyone who wants to bring their Heart of Azeroth from level 49 to 50 currently needs about 110,000 artifact power. Those who want to tackle the same in four weeks will only need about 39,000 artifact power.

What does this mean for the player? With the further increase in artifact knowledge, it will be easier for all players to unlock the last traits in their gear. Latecomers will find it a bit easier to level their Heart of Azeroth to a high level to prepare for corresponding endgame content.

No more farming in the future: For the time starting with the Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara, Blizzard has announced that farming artifact power will be de-emphasized. This is mainly facilitated by the fact that Azerite gear for the upcoming raid tiers will have lower level requirements. Players should be able to unlock all Azerite bonuses from chest, shoulder, and head gear when they receive the corresponding item.

Also in Patch 8.2, the portal room will be revised again – as fans expressed criticism!

What do you think of this change? Is it good that artifact knowledge continues to increase? Or does it just devalue the effort you have invested in the game so far?

Stay informed: The latest news about World of Warcraft is always available promptly on our WoW Facebook page. Check it out!

Niantic apparently changed the photo mode in Pokémon GO on April 1st

Noah Struthoff 1. April 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In Pokémon GO you will not only have the chance to catch a Shiny Celebi through the “GO Snapshot” feature, but also a special Pikachu with a hat. Some players report about it on Reddit – is April Fools’ behind this?

Which Pokémon is currently available? Players report that a Pikachu with an Ash hat is now jumping into the picture. So it’s no longer just Celebi that can be obtained through the “GO Snapshot” feature, but also this special Pikachu.

This Pikachu with a hat was available for a short time before. Now players who do not yet own this Pikachu have the chance to get this form.

Moreover, the first players are reporting about the shiny form of Pikachu with this hat. It is the first time it can be caught as Shiny with this hat.

Update April 1st: Pikachu has also arrived in Germany. Here, too, there is the shiny form of this event Pokémon. There seems to be a chance to catch 5 Pikachu throughout the entire day.

Additionally, not only does Pikachu jump into the picture, but also his trainer Ash. This is shown in several screenshots.

Here jumps Ash into the picture. Source: Reddit

This is what is known about this change so far

How did this come to light? A player from New Zealand reported on Reddit about this catch. Numerous other players are trying it out as well and confirmed it.

Here jumps Pikachu into the picture and not Celebi. Source: Reddit

However, it is noticeable that only players who have already reached April 1st can catch a Pikachu. All others still receive Celebi.

This is what players suspect: It is suspected that Pikachu with a hat as a “photo-bomber” is related to April 1st. Niantic is known for such pranks.

Last year they changed all Pokémon icons in the game. These were poorly animated and hardly recognizable.

So it is indeed possible that they are planning something again this year. A Pikachu jumping into the picture is very plausible. However, Niantic has not commented on this yet.

That’s why this prank is worth it: The prank in the last year 2018 was rather meant to be funny, but not really sensible. However, this year 2019, there can be a benefit from the prank.

Anyone who does not yet have Pikachu with this hat can secure it and add it to their collection.

Additionally, Pikachu is also available as Shiny. Thus, you also have the chance to get a Shiny from the photo feature for the first time.

Can I also do this? In Germany, it is still not possible. If it is indeed an April Fools’ prank, it should be possible here by midnight. If German players report on finding Pikachu beforehand, we will update the article.

So far, it is said that you can receive 5 Pikachu per day. Whether this will only be limited to April 1st remains to be seen.

So bleibt Ihr bei Pokémon GO auf dem Laufenden: Alle News und Specials zu Pokémon GO findet ihr auch auf unserer PoGO-Seite auf Facebook. In unserer Facebook-Gruppe zu Pokémon GO könnt ihr euch mit vielen anderen Spielern über Events austauschen oder auch neue Freunde finden.

Patch 8.20 brought radical changes to Fortnite . For some streamers, including Twitch star Ninja, the patch is so bad that they prefer to play Uno instead of Fortnite. In the short term, Uno even became more popular than Fortnite on Twitch.

This patch is about: Patch 8.20 caused a stir in Fortnite. The game changed its rules, which means aggressive gameplay is no longer as heavily rewarded as it was in recent weeks.

For example, you no longer gain a life when you eliminate an opponent and need to farm more materials again.

For many pros, this is a significant and mostly negative change. They can no longer train properly, as the rules for tournaments are not met in the normal mode of Fortnite.

You can’t really train anyway, so why not just play something else?

Thus the UNO hype arose: As a protest against the Fortnite patch and for fun, streamers like Ninja chose to play UNO instead of Fortnite one evening. Ninja’s streamer friends like TimTheTatman and CouRage joined the session as well.

Since it was about money and the streamers actively promoted the stream on social media, a significant hype arose at that moment.

The followers watched along, and briefly UNO even surpassed Fortnite on Twitch.

In the end, there was a settlement of who won and lost how much. TimTheTatman looked like the clear winner.

What annoys the pros about patch 8.20

That’s why Uno is preferred: For many pros, it is practically impossible to train for upcoming tournaments.

The tournament rules, which the pros want to train for the 30 million US dollar WM, currently only exist in the new Arena mode of Fortnite.

However, one has to wait an eternity in the lobby, and much time is wasted by the pros there – should their viewers watch them while they wait?

Alternatively, the streamers can play the normal mode of Fortnite. However, different rules prevail there, and one cannot prepare properly for upcoming tournaments.

Streamer Nickmercs perfectly captures the issue for many players.

What has changed? The latest patch changed quite a bit in the game. In the normal mode, the following changes now exist:

No life or shield points for kills anymore
Farming materials takes significantly longer, as there are 40% fewer resources when harvesting
Eliminated opponents no longer provide 50/50/50 materials
The limit of materials has been increased from 500 to 999

The game will therefore become significantly more passive again. So far, it was worth it to aggressively rush opponents, as you would receive health points for it. This is no longer the case.

Casual players are also annoyed, as farming materials now takes significantly longer again.

When top streamers switch the game, it has curious effects on Twitch – at least for a few hours.

How does Epic react? There has not yet been a proper reaction to the complaints. In the past, Epic has reacted to such strong criticism and reverted the change.

This would be important for many professional players, as the next Fortnite tournament for 30 million dollars is already in two weeks.

Update 10:40 PM: Meanwhile, the Twitter account of Uno has commented and told Fortnite that they can take their time in reverting the patch.

They are apparently enjoying their popularity boost.

Not only Fortnite pros are complaining about the patch. Football legend Zlatan Ibrahimović is also annoyed:

In The Division 2 there is a 5th faction and players don’t notice it

Schuhmann 31. March 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

In The Division 2, there are actually only four factions. But now a developer has revealed that there is actually a fifth faction: players do not notice it at all. Because they are tutorial enemies of the Hyenas, which are later replaced by the stronger version.

This is the 5th faction: The Division 2 does indeed have a 5th faction. Ubisoft has called them the “Tutorial Hyenas” or the “Simple Hyenas.”

The Hyenas are apocalyptic tech freaks on a green drug.

These “Simple Hyenas” are Hyenas that are less capable than the “real Hyena faction.” They do not possess “complex behavior patterns.”

What is the idea behind it? This is a tutorial faction that only appears in the early missions of the game.

Players are thus presented with “particularly easy” enemies that act more primitively than the real Hyenas.

This is intended to help players get into The Division and familiarize themselves with the game.

What happens to the Simple Hyenas? The faction is “hidden” – players are not supposed to notice that they are fighting “tutorial enemies.”

The “Simple Hyenas” are replaced after the first missions and battles with the “real Hyenas,” and ideally, the player does not notice this at all.

The new Hyenas then use more complex attack patterns and the faction traits of the “real Hyenas.”

Tutorial Hyenas are the answer to changes in the factions

Why is Massive doing this? In The Division 1, the enemy factions got stronger over time: the initial “Rioters” were weak in complexity and remained the “weakest faction” throughout the game.

Rioters acted less tactically. They used more primitive techniques and simpler strategies.

The enemy faction and their behavior grew with the players in The Division 1 and became stronger and more sophisticated.

The downside was that in the endgame, the “weaker” factions hardly appeared anymore, and only the “Last Man Battalion” was deployed to present a challenge to players.

In The Division 2, all normal factions should act differently, but still challenge players similarly – in the endgame then the “Black Tusk” adds an advanced faction.

The advantage of this system is that in the endgame of The Division 2, agents can now fight against all factions, creating variety – except of course against the “Simple Hyenas,” they only appear at the beginning.

Where does the information come from? At the developer conference GDC, AI expert Drew Rechner held a talk.

In 2019, he held a follow-up talk and explained what has changed in The Division 2 and how Massive has improved the AI. The talk was titled “Sequelitis: Creating Combat NPCs for Tom Clancy’s The Division 2.”

He also did this in 2018 for The Division and presented how the “artificial intelligence” behaves – that is, why the enemies do what they do. (via youTube)

The German site PcGamesHardware listened to the talk and reports on it.

That’s why the new event series in Pokémon GO is better than previous events

Noah Struthoff 31. March 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The 3rd limited research events are over and Pokémon GO shows how they listened to the player base at this event. Our author Noah is excited about the new event series.

Why are the limited researches a success? This event series is particularly successful because it differs from the usual events:

One must focus on the quests, which is otherwise not the case.
Furthermore, Niantic listens to the players and continuously adjusts this event.

This is why I enjoy this event series so much

I like this approach: I already liked the general idea behind this event. One must focus on the field researches and not just on catching or raiding. It is a refreshing change from everyday gameplay.

This distinguishes this event series from others: The Community Days, which take place monthly, attract almost all players. There are many Shinies and countless Pokémon to catch.

In my opinion, the limited researches even make it better. There are numerous Shinies, but the event itself is a whole different experience:

During the Perlu Day there was double Stardust and many water spawns.
During the current event with Loturzel, there was also a new Shiny in the wild and many more spawns with weather bonus.

It’s worth it doubly, as you not only get the opportunity for many Shinies but also an event with many surrounding spawns.

Why the Perlu event in Pokémon GO was the best event in a long time

von Noah Struthoff

This is how Niantic improved the event series: With the limited researches, Niantic has done many things right. The start with Barschwa was rather mixed. Many players complained about too few Shinies and a short event duration. Now much has changed again:

The Perlu Day was already a strong improvement in my eyes because it had more Shinies and easier quests.
And the current researches with Loturzel are another step in the right direction, as the event time was extended to 9 hours.

Niantic is staying the course: After the criticism regarding the Barschwa Day, Niantic did not let it get to them and brought out such an event again. They responded to the criticism and fundamentally improved the idea.

Even after the positive feedback from the Perlu Day, there were further improvements. The event now lasted 9 hours instead of 3. This allowed even more players to participate.

This is why this event series is better than others: I am also a fan of Community Days, but I like the limited researches even more. Throughout the month, the focus is on catching and raiding, and in this event, one must complete particularly many quests, which otherwise tend to take a back seat.

I also like this monthly rhythm. It’s much better than these weekly events, which sometimes even overlap. With the limited researches, you have everything: cool quests, many Shinies, extraordinary spawns, and above all, a lot of fun.

What do other players say? I am not alone in my opinion. Many players in my community, as well as on Reddit or Twitter, share my opinion. Especially the extended event times for this event were well received.

I didn’t have time to play all afternoon, but I was able to play for an hour in the evening and catch a Shiny. I’m really satisfied.
BigWooper on Reddit

How should it proceed? It should continue just like this! They could raise the Shiny rate of the event Pokémon to a similar level as with the Perlu Day, but other than that, I am very satisfied.

I look forward to more limited researches in April and hope that Niantic continues to listen to the player base.

Perhaps the Community Day in April with Kindwurm will be a similar success:

What we know about the story and characters of Borderlands 3 – All information

Irina Moritz 31. March 2019 Reading time 3 minutes

The story of Borderlands 3 will revolve around the evil Calypso twins, and players can expect more than just a single Vault.

Many of the details had already leaked before the game’s announcement and were confirmed with the release of the trailer.

What do we know about the story? At the center of the story of Borderlands 3 are the two villains seen in the trailer: the Calypso twins, Troy and Tyreen.

borderlands 3 children of the vault — One of the strongholds of the sect “Children of the Vault” is shown in the trailer.

The two rule over a cult called “Children of the Vault” and possess supernatural powers. Tyreen is a Siren, but Troy also seems to have Siren abilities, even though he is a man.

Fans speculate that the twins are capable of stealing the powers of other Sirens. The reason for this is a scene in the trailer where we see Lilith lying on the ground without her Siren tattoos. In contrast, the twins in the background do have glowing tattoos.

There should also be multiple Vaults in Borderlands 3, which you will need to find. You will be supported by many familiar faces.

Characters like Tiny Tina, Moxxy, and Sir Hammerlock are back in Borderlands 3.

Who are the playable characters? Typically, players in Borderlands 3 will be able to choose from four new playable characters.

Zane is a sort of Borderlands Batman. He is a wealthy guy who operates with gadgets and tools. He can set traps and create distractions, like Zero in Borderlands 2.
Flak is a robot who can summon various pet companions for assistance. In the trailer, we see him with a Skag, for example. Each of his pets is supposed to have its own move set.
Moze is a soldier who controls a huge mech in combat. In the trailer, we see that other characters will be able to climb onto the mech and operate the machine gun on its back.
Amara is the traditional Siren in the team. She can summon huge extra arms for powerful physical attacks and possesses additional Siren abilities.

Each character will be able to use more than just one active ability. Original Vault Hunters Maya, Lilith, Mordecai, Zero, and Brick also appear in the trailer but will likely not be playable.

Where does Borderlands 3 take place? The main setting of BL3 is still the planet Pandora. However, it seems that other planets will also be visitable.

In the trailer, it was mentioned that players would explore multiple “worlds.” You can see various environment types, starting with the classic wasteland of Pandora, to a futuristic metropolis.

The founder of Gearbox, Randy Pitchford, also spoke during the PAX conference about how the switch to Unreal Engine 4 has enabled new physics simulations:

There could be different physics, and the sun and moons may be positioned differently than what we are used to on Pandora.

Fans speculate that in Borderlands 3, we might visit Promethea for the first time. The weapon company Atlas discovered alien technology there for the first time.
