An invisible hero caused frustration in Overwatch but Blizzard reacted quickly.
Soldier: 76 in camo
During a beta test, small glitches occur more often, but the latest bug in Overwatch was a bit more serious. With the previous patch, many heroes received new skins that can be unlocked through the extensive progression system.
The hero Soldier: 76 enjoyed the two new skins “Commando: 76” and “Night Ops: 76” and seemed to have taken the camo a bit too seriously. Instead of being able to show off with his new skin, the character simply became completely invisible.
Many players surely wondered why enemies simply walked past them. However, Blizzard reacted swiftly and had to pull the emergency brake: It was not possible to temporarily disable just the two skins, but Soldier: 76 was completely locked.
In the meantime, Blizzard has fixed the bug, and a new patch was released last night that repaired the two skins and unlocked Soldier: 76 for all players again. Now the soldier just has to manage with his aimbot (his ultimate), as he will have to forgo the invisible hack.

In The Division, it is an art to land quick headshots in succession with precision rifles. We give tips on how to increase your chances of headshots.
The YouTuber Skill Up explains in a video how to increase your chances of headshots with precision rifles. He combines talents and modifications to get the most out of his sniper.
How to make your sniper a headshot machine in The Division
The YouTuber uses the First Wave M1A Precision Rifle from the Superior tier, which he considers one of the best weapons in the game. To create a weapon that can allow multiple headshots in a short time, you will need to hope for the following talent:
Balanced: This is the most important talent to transform the M1A into a headshot machine. It allows the weapon to reach maximum precision faster when shouldered. Thanks to this talent, you do not need to equip modifications that increase precision.
As a second talent, his Superior sniper has Accurated, which increases precision by 40%. However, you can also focus on other talents, the key talent is “Balanced”.
To use the precision rifle even more effectively, the skill talent Steady Hands in your Security Tree is recommended: When you take cover, recoil is reduced by 25% for 10 seconds. During this time, it will be easier for you to land headshots. Moreover, it is enough to briefly stand up and immediately return to cover to benefit from this talent.
Focus on these bonuses with weapon mods
With the talents presented, you can concentrate on the bonuses from weapon mods that you still need to land quick headshots with the sniper. These involve the various stability values.
Increase the stability and horizontal stability of the sniper with weapon mods: Both values ensure that the weapon pulls less after shots. This allows you to quickly re-aim at the heads of your enemies or keep them under fire.
With the M1A and the “Balanced” talent, you do not need to rely on initial stability as this would not further improve the weapon.
The YouTuber Skill Up advises to focus only on stability and horizontal stability as much as possible. Even if an additional chance for critical hits may sound tempting, it is much more beneficial to increase the stability values, as this allows you to make more headshots and thus more damage.

With these tips, you will manage to land secure headshots with precision rifles, especially the M1A, despite a high rate of fire. 80-90% of your shots would land on the heads of enemies, according to the YouTuber. Extend your sniper’s magazine with the appropriate mods to use the “headshot machine” for even longer.

Mad Max greets in the freshly launched Closed Beta of the post-apocalyptic multiplayer action game Crossout .
In the end times, it seems to be common to race through desert landscapes with souped-up cars, because this is exactly what you do in the freshly launched Closed Beta of Gaijin Entertainment’s online game Crossout.
Souped-up cars, post-apocalypse, and PvP battles
Basically, the game is reminiscent of World of Tanks or Gaijin’s own War Thunder. However, with much faster battles. Because the cars drive very fast.
You start with a rusty junker and continuously build it up by reinforcing the armor or attaching better weapons. This way, you have better chances in the PvP battles on the various maps. It is, of course, also possible to expand your fleet with new cars, all of which have different abilities. Team battles are at the top, just like in War Thunder and World of Tanks.
However, the developers also want to offer something for crafting enthusiasts. Therefore, as a player, you can build a so-called Leviathan. This is a real monster made of steel and scrap that you build yourself and then send against other players. Generally, “crafting” plays an important role in Crossout, as the upgrade and improvement of your vehicles and the Leviathan are very important.

The now launched Closed Beta of the MMO also offers a new map, Founders Canyon, which enhances the landscape filled with abandoned cities, devastated places, and destroyed factories around a canyon where you can engage in intense battles. The large rocks and destroyed statues in the canyon provide obstacles but also cover. If you want to check out Crossout, you can purchase one of three Early Access bundles that cost between 20 and 50 dollars. Or you can register here with Gaijin for the waiting list and hope that you get in.

Today we are interested in: How do you like your loot?
MMOs are changing: While the games industry produces few “classic MMORPGs” like World of Warcraft or Star Wars: The Old Republic, elements from these games are flourishing in new genres. Two years ago with Destiny and now with The Division, it is primarily the co-op and loot elements that provide the decisive kick.
But in both shooters, players have problems with the way loot is distributed: There is too little loot, and when they do get it, it’s terrible, as echoed in the forums.
The Two Paths to Loot
As a shining example of how to do it right, Blizzard’s Hack’n Slash Diablo 3 is frequently mentioned. The trick there: items of the highest quality drop frequently. However, they have variable values. It’s not as if all weapons of the same name are identical. Rather, the values vary within certain ranges.
This means: You constantly get “loot with the potential to be great”, but whether it is actually better than what you have equipped, you only see when you take a close look at it. The system also applies to The Division. Additionally, in Diablo 3, something good can drop basically anywhere. From “big bosses” with increased probability, but even the smallest trash mobs can drop great items.
This is a different concept than what classic MMORPGs like WoW practiced. In those, strong items are found only in certain places, in raids, but when they drop, it is a fixed item with fixed values. In Destiny, they rely on this system in the exotic area: an exotic weapon always has the same values. When you read the name of the drop, you immediately know that it’s good.
However, this leads to the fact that players are “rarely” rewarded with these items. Otherwise, players would have the best items shortly after and would not feel the need to keep searching. Whoever had the “Gjallarhorn” in Destiny didn’t need another one that might be 0.3% better. Rather, they had the weapon, and there was no more variance.
Now both Division and Destiny are saying: They want to become “more rewarding”. In Division, it was announced yesterday that all named bosses now drop “yellow” items. They want to move away from crafting, where players forged their high ends until a great item came out.
For years, Destiny has been talking about increasing rewards, usually referring to the pure frequency, the number of times you are rewarded.
Our question today: How do you like your loot system? Do you want to receive items constantly like in Diablo and then compare the exact values? Or do you prefer being able to tell from the name whether you need the item or not?
Which game do you think does it right?

It is the weekend, which means it is time for the game mode rotation in League of Legends – what can we expect this weekend and what are the rules?
The first event of the game mode rotation is just around the corner. It is expected to start this afternoon at around 4 PM and ends on Monday morning (Available daily from 11 AM to 3 AM). The game mode is called “Ascension” and has been playable in the past, when the Champion Azir was released during the “Shurima Event”.
How does the “Ascension” event work in LoL?

You cannot, like on Summoner’s Rift, “leave” from the base. To enter the map, you must use the item “Golden Supremacy“, which allows you to teleport.
To win, you must collect points – the first team to reach 200 points wins the game.
There is 1 point for kills, 3 points for capturing one of the 3 Shurima relics that are scattered across the map, 5 points for defeating an Ascended Champion. Ascended Champions receive not 1 point but 2 points per kill.
For your Champion to ascend, you must defeat the Ancient Xerath, who can be found in the middle of the map. However, you cannot “just do this” solo; you need your whole team to take him down.
The Ascension Buff grants you special power through increased health, infinite mana, AD and AP, cooldown reduction, and additionally (Yes, that wasn’t powerful enough) armor penetration & magic penetration.
To ensure that the team holding the buff remains “mortal”, there are also negative aspects: healing and regeneration effects are only half as strong. Furthermore, the team without the buff has permanent vision of the team with the ascended Champions.
Once the ancient Xerath dies, it won’t be long before a new Xerath appears, who will then redistribute the buff.
Although the “Ascension” event has existed in League of Legends, the developers did not need to make significant changes to the game mode for it to fit into the current game. The graphics have been slightly adjusted, and you can also earn Champion Mastery Points. Additionally, you can earn keys and chests for Hextech Crafting in this game mode.
Xur is coming to the MMO shooter Destiny on April 8th for PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
The last puzzle pieces are slowly coming together, the image we have from the patch on April 12th is more or less complete. Sure, there is still a bit of white on the edges, a few details are still missing, and maybe there will be a surprise, but most of it should be known now.
We know the new challenges with the Prison of Elders, new armor, exotics, emotes, the light level, and much more. A lot is changing, but not as much as with a “DLC” in year 1, that seems to be shaping up. So, they are largely leaving the vendors alone, at least there’s no information about that yet. We will definitely know on Tuesday evening when the patch comes that is supposed to bring the biggest change to Destiny since “The Taken King”.
But let’s look at Xur, the old war profiteer, tentacle face, and agent of the Nine.
All about Xur in Destiny on April 8th, 9th, and 10th.
When will he arrive in the Tower of Destiny?
Xur arrives on April 8th at 11:00 AM. He leaves on Sunday, April 10th, at 11:00 AM. He has a 48-hour shift.
Where is Xur? Where is he today?
Xur is near the Speaker.

In the MMORPG Skyforge there is now a new raid and the possibility to adjust the appearance of the character afterwards.
Demon Invasion in “Ophelia” Raid from Skyforge
In the god MMORPG Skyforge, a new raid has recently become available, challenging players with their hardest PvE trial yet. 10 champions must unite to dive into the depths of the “Ophelia” operation raid, where 4 bosses are waiting for a proper beating. To thematically prepare the fans for the raid, a small story trailer has been provided that makes the demonic threat a bit more tangible. Of course, we don’t want to withhold the trailer from you.

Those who manage to send the various demon lords back to their hells will be rewarded with new seals and rings to squeeze even more out of their characters.
Character Customization for Real Money
In addition to the raid, the update has also brought two new packages to the shop, which, alongside the usual goodies like credits, argents, and ether cores, also offer for the first time the ability to customize the shape (Morph package – €28) and color (Chromatic package – €14) of the divine form. Bargain hunters should go for the 3rd package, the divine combo package for €36, which includes the two other packages at a discounted price.
These packages are only available for a short time, from April 7 to April 20, after which it will not be possible to customize the appearance.

Four fresh cards for Hearthstone reveal, among other things, the last old god, Yogg-Saron. Check him out here.
Yogg-Saron – The End of All Hope
In Hearthstone, the last old god has now been revealed, who enters the game boards with the upcoming expansion “Whispers of the Old Gods”. Those who enjoy building “fun decks” or just often win the lottery should take a closer look at Yogg-Saron.
If you would love to marry the word “Random,” then you will be very happy with the last old god. Yogg-Saron, Hope’s End is relatively weak with 7/5 for 10 mana, but his Battlecry will certainly decide one or another match and cause many laughs and cries of despair: Cast a random spell for each spell you have cast in this game (targets are determined randomly).” Yes, that sentence has to be read multiple times to understand it.
A little example: Let’s say you have already cast 10 spells in this game and then play Yogg-Saron. Yogg-Saron will then use 10 completely random spells – also from other classes. The targets of these spells will be determined randomly. A “Healing” might land on the opponent and a “Fireball” in your own face. Very likely, Yogg-Saron won’t even survive his own Battlecry. That is chaos in its purest form. And you know what? We like that.
To stay with the topic of RNG, the newest card for Warlock is also part of this spectrum. The spell Spreading Madness deals 9 damage for 3 mana, but to completely random characters. The spell is primarily offered when the opponent has the board full of minions or if you hope to deal the last points of damage. Between “The cheapest Fireball in the world” and “Oh my God, I defeated myself,” this card will probably create many memorable game scenes.
Just random isn’t enough for you? No problem. Warlocks not only love madness but also blood. Blood is life force. Exactly that is what the legendary minion for Warlocks Cho’Gall preys upon. A 7/7 minion for 7 mana is already quite good, but his Battlecry makes him especially interesting: The next spell this turn costs health points instead of mana. Unfortunately, the Warlock doesn’t currently have many spells that cost a lot of mana, but maybe there are some interesting highlights among the new cards.
As if the wild beasts for Hunter weren’t bad enough, a new spell now brings even more beasts into play. Call of the Wild summons all three of the Hunter’s companions at once – namely Huffer, Leokk and Misha. In the best memory of my childhood, I will already call this card the “Devil’s Trio” – because who wouldn’t want to fight against a buffed charging wild boar that is hiding behind a tank?.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , the exact changes to weapon balance have been announced.
On Wednesday evening in the live stream, Bungie already provided a rough overview of how each weapon category would change with the patch on April 12. As promised, they have now shared the individual percentages and data in a long post, explaining exactly why they are making these changes. However, there were no big surprises compared to the stream.
The post is currently only available in English – but it should be translated into other languages soon. We summarize the highlights:
Auto Rifles, Pulse Rifles, Fusion Rifles
The damage of slow auto rifles like Suros Regime increases by 2.3%.
The damage of fast auto rifles decreases by 2.5%.
The damage of slow pulse rifles increases by 3%.
The ammo capacity in the inventory for hand cannons increases.
Fusion rifles receive a significant boost to their stability, especially in the minimum range, which can increase by up to 40%.
Most changes apply to sniper rifles
For sniper rifles, the base zoom of the “close-range scopes” is increased, and the weapons Jenseits, Black Spindle, Stillpiercer, and Patience and Time will now have “increased zoom”.
Aiming with sniper rifles now takes 2 frames longer.
The perk “Snapshot” now reduces zoom time by only 20% instead of the previous 30%.
The stability of sniper rifles overall decreases.
They are removing the perk “Zen Moment” from green and blue sniper rifles and replacing it on legendary Häkke and Omolon weapons.
For a handful of extra numbers
Sniper rifles will now have about 5-7 fewer bullets in the inventory, and shotguns will also have 5-7 less. However, more special ammo will drop in PvE. The machine gun bonus ammo perk will provide 33% less bonus ammo in the inventory than before.
The perk “Aggressive Ballistics” will now reduce stability by 20 instead of just 10 as before. This perk has been deemed too strong.
The raid auto rifle will lose 9 stability and 15 bullets from the inventory. The auto rifle from the raid will gain 12% more stability.
Other than that, the changes for exotic and some legendary weapons are those already discussed in the stream. We have summarized this in detail, and there is little to add: The Hawkmoon receives an increase in range of 10 in the base value.
The YouTuber Refaser introduces you to the 8 classes of Black Desert and reveals which one suits you best.
Which Black Desert class suits me?
In contrast to many representatives of the “MMO uniformity”, Black Desert is relatively complex and requires a significant time investment to truly celebrate successes in the game. Since you have to live with the chosen character for quite a while – after all, the path to max level is long and arduous – it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the individual classes beforehand.
What are the fragments of a Dark Sorceress? What are the shards for exactly? Is a Tamer easy to level? Our friend YouTuber Refaser introduces you in his latest video to the 8 classes of Black Desert that are currently playable in the European version. In just under 20 minutes, he provides a compact overview of all classes and reveals the most important basics to give you an initial picture. You can watch the video above.
In The Division, named NPCs are guaranteed to drop high-end items above level 30 starting with the April update. Crafting is set to become the “alternative”.
Massive has addressed the changes that will affect crafting in the April update. Not only will making items become more challenging, but enemy drops are also expected to become more lucrative. The focus is shifting more from crafting to killing enemies.
More High-end Items through NPC Kills in The Division
According to Massive, last month they found that loot drops from enemies are too rare and disappointing for agents. Therefore, players have recently – rightly so – invested all their efforts into crafting and collecting crafting materials.
The following graphic illustrates this situation:
Almost 50% of all level-31 high-end items have been crafted by the agents themselves. About 30% were purchased from vendors, and only 20% came from NPC kills.
As a result, the developers are now taking action: Every kill of a named enemy, known as named enemy with a proper name, guarantees a high-end drop. You will receive a high-end item from every Named NPC above level 30.
The gear score of these items will depend on the respective level of the enemy. For example, level-30 named enemies should guarantee a high-end item with a gear score of 163.
Additionally, item drop rates have been adjusted for all NPCs. There will be enemy types that drop more – or fewer – of certain items, as they have become specialized in specific items. You can find out which items you get most frequently from which enemy types to efficiently search for these items.
Crafting is to become the “alternative” and not dominate
It should now be worthwhile to take down NPCs when searching for high-end items. Crafting will become an alternative that should still remain rewarding. Therefore, the drop rates of Division Tech materials from named enemies in the Dark Zone will be increased by 40% at level 32.
The changes presented and those to the crafting system in The Division are intended to make agents seek fewer low-quality items, break them down, and convert the materials into high-end crafting materials. The intention is for agents to hunt strong NPCs and thus high-end items directly.
With these changes, the game should be more enjoyable and harmonize crafting and “dropping”.
The developers emphasize that it’s no easy task to adjust the balance of an online game. They believe these adjustments are a step in the right direction. They will monitor these changes closely and modify them further in the future.
In The Division, the first raid “Falcon Lost” is reportedly extremely challenging. Even some developers have not successfully completed this endgame content.
The centerpiece of the upcoming update 1.1 will be the new endgame content “Incursions”. The first raid is named “Falcon Lost” and is expected to challenge even the most experienced agents.
This is further supported by the statements of lead designer Matthias Karlson and his colleague Andrada Gregiuc (Lead Economic Designer): In a podcast led by Hamish Bode, they revealed that neither of them has been able to successfully complete “Falcon Lost” so far.
This, however, is not only due to the demanding difficulty level, but also to the fresh gameplay mechanics and previously unknown enemy types. For example, agents will face drones in this raid.
When agents complete this activity – thus behaving more skillfully than the developers themselves – valuable rewards will await them. Karlson states:
Raids are our toughest challenges in the game, with the best rewards.
The raids will be the “source of the coolest stuff”. From this endgame content, players will be able to obtain parts of the gear sets. The specifics of the completion rewards remain to be seen. Perhaps this will also allow you to obtain the new named high-end weapons in The Division.
At SMITE there is a lot happening. A new event offers skins and quests, and the framerate on consoles is being drastically increased.
Better framerates and a small event
Since SMITE has also made its way to the PlayStation 4, the developers at HiRez are ramping up efforts to keep players entertained on all platforms. In April there will be a new event “Escape from the Underworld,” which thematically features dark skins and a small change to the arena mode. Additionally, there is good news for console players, as the maximum framerate is being increased. We have the details for you.
Hades corrupts the underworld
The grumpy god Hades is no longer content simply to reach for the living, so he is now luring gods into his underworld.
The visual centerpiece of this event is the new skins, which will be released throughout the month. Hades, Arachne, Nox, Hou Yi, and Guan Yu each receive a “dark” appearance that can be purchased in the shop for gems. Only 4 of the 5 skins will be available for direct purchase, the 5th will be “given” for free if all the others have been acquired.
The event also includes a handful of new quests and a “Sudden Death” mode that takes place at the end of each arena round. All players will be locked in a small ring for 60 seconds and engage in one last team fight. The winner receives additional followers at the end – but this does not change anything for the actual round winner.
The event begins on April 12, 2016 – how long it will last is still not known.
Smite with 60 fps on consoles
Another piece of good news for all console fans of SMITE is that HiRez has introduced a new option with the current patch. Those who want can have their PlayStation 4 or Xbox One display the game at up to 60 frames per second. However, they also warn that you should slightly adjust the sensitivity of the controls, as the changes are quite noticeable.
For more news and articles about the action MOBA from HiRez, you can find them on our SMITE topic page.

In Destiny, the April update brings 13 upgraded Exotics, which can reach the new maximum values. Additionally, a new PlayStation-exclusive precision rifle enters the Destiny universe. We present the 14 Exotics.
With the April update, new challenges await the Guardians, as well as stylish items that will be waiting for them as rewards. Among them are 13 known exotic items from Year 1, which you will be able to play in a modified form in the future.
Some of them will receive a fresh coat of paint, new perks, and they can reach the upcoming maximum values of 335 attack power or defense power. Additionally, PlayStation owners can look forward to an exclusive sniper rifle, the Zen Meteor.
When will the Exotics be available in the game and how can I get them?
These Exotics will be available to the Guardians starting April 12, with the upcoming update. Many upgraded items come from the “House of Wolves” DLC, which could only be played for a relatively short time before the Taken King items replaced them.
The Bungie database already contains information on the upgraded armor pieces that we will look at shortly. Next, we will discuss the weapons that will receive a Year 2 version. On the last page, we will discuss the sniper rifle Zen Meteor.
In Warframe, the “Sands of Inaros” update is available today for consoles PS4 and Xbox One. What to expect, you can read below.
PS4 and Xbox One space ninjas have been aimlessly floating through space for weeks and have felt abandoned and neglected by their beloved Lotus. However, Update 18.5 for console Tenno is now here, bringing both technical improvements and gameplay changes along with new additions.
New Quest with “Character”
The main focus of the “Sands of Inaros” update is the new Warframe Inaros and the quest through which you can obtain him. To start this, you need to pay a visit to the extravagant silver-haired Baro Ki’Teer. With him, you can acquire the new quest for some ducats and credits and dive deeper into the story of the online shooter Warframe.
Thematically and stylistically, we travel to ancient Egypt. Here we also encounter new enemies, the cat-like Kavats and their masters. After completing your short trip, you’ll have an ancient mummy in your possession, whose abilities are dry as follows:
Desiccate – Destroys enemies with a cursed sandwave that blinds them and drains their health.
Devour – Lets enemies sink into quicksand to trap and devour them. Also drains health and creates a friendly sand shadow that fights for you.
Sandstorm – Sweeps away or devours enemies who are caught in quicksand with a swirling sand spiral.
Scarabs Swarm – Converts health into hardened Scarab armor. Enemies can be swept away by a swarm of scarabs. The survivors use their own life force to heal allies.
If you’re more in the mood for hot desert action than dry reading, we also have everything in a quick image sequence:

The special thing about Inaros is that he is the only character without a protective shield and therefore must drain the life from enemies to avoid ending up in his sarcophagus.
New Weapons – and quite a lot of them
Since PC players receive new weapon additions repeatedly between larger updates, which become available for console players later, a lot has accumulated that now needs to be built and tested. To keep it short, here’s an overview of the new toys:
Additionally, there’s the semi-automatic sniper “Vulkar Wraith”, which will soon be obtainable through Operation Shadow Debt, as well as the three weapons Dex Sybaris, Dex Dakra, and Dex Furis, which were gifted to players for the 3rd Warframe anniversary.
To receive these three gifts, you only need to log into the game between April 8 at 8 PM and April 15 at 8 PM. All Dex weapons also include a weapon slot and come with a built-in Orokin Catalyst.
Reactor Sabotage 2.0
So much for the brightly deadly part of the update. But that’s not all.
The Sabotage mode on Grineer and Corpus spaceships has undergone significant changes and now features 4 new rooms each. Additionally, new mechanics come into play that can drop the surrounding temperature below freezing point depending on the player’s choices.
More Moon Missions Make You Cheerful
Furthermore, three more moon missions are waiting to be played by you. These include defense, capture, and espionage.
In the latter mode, you even make time jumps and switch between intact and decayed environments. Additionally, your parkour skills will be put to the test.
In total, there are 20 new moon environments to admire and explore.
Fashion Frame
But there are also some things for the fashion fanatics among the space ninjas to spruce up for spring.
These include the two syandanas Abrasys and Celestia, the Porta armor set, and a new color palette. Additionally, the fleet of ships is expanded with the Xiphos, which can provide a small turret during missions.
Ultimately, the Strega skin for Trinity also makes its way to consoles.
Technical Changes
The most important aspect of the technical and graphical improvement of the game concerns the direct and indirect lighting. This technical aspect alone will account for over 4 GB of the total download.
Additionally, the chat underwent a complete overhaul. Functions like whispering and emojis are now available to communicate with others.
So head to Baro Ki’Teer today to curse your enemies with the mummy’s curse and let them sink into quicksand.

From April 8th to April 11th, all heroes from Heroes of the Storm are available for free. Currently, there are 50 different champions, with the latest addition Dehaka. So if you’re not sure which hero you want to buy soon, you now have the opportunity to try out all characters.
From April 8th to April 18th, there will also be an additional 50% experience points in all game modes. This allows you to quickly level up your account and heroes to unlock new color variations, gold rewards, or different portraits.
If you’re also interested in the finals of the tournament, which takes place this weekend on April 9th and 10th, you can check out the schedule on the official website.
In this beginner’s guide, I would like to explain the game to newcomers and those who want to learn something about League of Legends and provide tips.
Foreword: So, you want to play League of Legends
League of Legends is a real-time strategy game and belongs to the “MOBA” (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) genre. In a MOBA, you compete against an opposing team in an arena with other players – 2 teams play. Unlike other strategy games, in LoL you don’t control an entire army, but focus on a hero that you play yourself.
The match map is mirrored and divided into 3 different paths called “Lanes”. The lanes are named (from top to bottom) Top Lane, Mid Lane, and Bot Lane. Additionally, there is the jungle, which is located between these 3 lanes. The goal is to destroy all towers on at least one of these lanes so that you can attack the main structure of the opponents, the Nexus. As soon as the Nexus has no health points left, or a team surrenders, the game is over. This can take between 20 and 60 minutes (in rare cases even longer) depending on the game.
League of Legends has become so popular that it is constantly among the top 3 most popular games on streaming websites like TwitchTV. Viewers are attracted not only at home in front of their screens but also to various live events. For example, around 11,000 people filled Madison Square Garden in 2015 to watch their favorite teams play live. World Championship broadcasts now reach over 300,000 viewers online at the same time.
To be successful as a League of Legends player, you don’t necessarily have to belong to a professional team. Streaming LoL has become the profession of many players. Over 20,000 people simultaneously watch streamer Nightblue3 on Twitch as he tries out new strategies in the game while entertaining his fans. Former professional players like Dyrus, who played for the popular eSports team TeamSoloMid for many years but then took a break from the professional career, also regularly stream their games online for their fans.

Working with the druid, the developers of the MMORPG Crowfall are currently working on a sort of healer class.
But wasn’t it said that there would be no healers in Crowfall? That’s true – somewhat. Because the druid is a support class that can do more than just heal. The druid is a mix between a healer and a ranged fighter. Although there are no explicit healers in Crowfall, healing still plays a role. Because when you’re in a group, someone has to take care of their wounds.
The druid is not a pure healer
The female druid – currently, there is only a female form – is expected to be introduced during the Hunger Dom and “Risky Siege” phases. The team currently has about half of the development for this class behind them and is now working on alternative armor sets, designing the powers, and the animations and special effects of the spells.
Casting healing spells replenishes the druid’s resources. However, it can also happen that the druid ignites due to an excess of spells, which causes damage until either the resource runs out or he dies. By using another type of magic, you can consume the resources.
Tactics are important
This is said by the developers to lead to interesting tactics without introducing a pure healer in Crowfall. So you have to decide whether to continue healing, taking the risk of self-ignition, or whether to use other magic. In terms of healing, the druid relies on healing spheres, regenerative fields, projectiles that heal, and other things. Additionally, the class has a range of stats that revolve around healing. The druid will be introduced in both male and female forms in the MMORPG Crowfall.
