League of Legends: Die wichtigsten Buffs und Nerfs in Patch 6.6

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

In the new patch for RiotGames Moba League of Legends there are again some heroes facing adjustments.

Also in the past weeks, there have been several champions on the various maps of League of Legends that have been labeled as “overpowered” and were almost a permanent ban. With the new patch 6.6, some champions will be “balanced” and adjusted to the game.

Changes to champions in the new patch of League of Legends

LoL Cho'Gath dinosaur

Cho’Gath:

  • Devour (R) – Bonus health per stack increased from 90/120/150 to 100/140/180. A surprising change for the players of LoL, as the friendly dinosaur Cho’Gath is already quite solid in the current game. With this buff, he will certainly be a popular alternative to other champions in the Rift or on other maps in the coming weeks.

Ekko: 

  • Z Drive Resonance (Passive) – Movement speed increased from 40%/50%/60%/80% to 50%/60%/70%/80%. A small buff for Ekko, which is overall just a minor improvement.
  • Phase Dive (E) – Cooldown reduced from 13/11.5/10/8.5/7 seconds to 11/10/9/8/7 seconds. Individually, this buff is also fairly minor. However, in combination, these two improvements are quite strong.
LoL Janna legendary weather

Janna:

  • Eye of the Storm (E) – The bonus damage granted by the shield has been reduced from 14/23/32/41/50 damage to 10/17.5/25/32.5/40. The developers cited this nerf because Janna is not only a good protector through her abilities but also a strong attacker.
  • Monsoon (R) – The disable duration of this ability has been reduced from 0.75 seconds to 0.5 seconds.

Nidalee:

  • Prowl (Passive) – When “Hunting Monsters” is active, monsters are no longer rooted. A rather minor change that mainly affects junglers.
  • Leap (W) – Fury Strikes no longer resets Nidalee’s basic attack. However, the base damage of Leap was increased from 50/100/150/200 to 65/100/155/200. Overall, rather negative changes for Nidalee, which will likely make jungling a bit harder.

Shyvana:

  • Twin Bite (Q) – The scaling of this ability was significantly reduced on the earlier ranks. Originally scaling from 180%/185%/190%/195%/200%, Twin Bite now scales with only 140%/155%/170%/185%/200% total attack damage. Anyone who has faced Shyvana in League of Legends recently or played her will have noticed that her damage is indeed relatively high. With this adjustment, her early game is now easier for opponents to handle.

Items like the ZZ’Rot Portal have also been significantly revised in League of Legends

Enchant: Runeglaive – Base damage reduced from 80 to 60. One of the most popular jungler items recently is now getting a significant nerf.

Titanic Hydra – Attack damage reduced from 50 to 35. The values of the Titanic Hydra were rather suited for an all-rounder item that could somehow be used in every situation – the defensive values are retained.

ZZ’Rot Portal:

LoL ZZ'Rot item
  • Armor reduced from 60 to 55.
  • Magic resistance reduced from 60 to 55.
  • The health of the Void Gate reduced from 300-1200 to 5. (Yes, really 5!)
  • Gold for destroying the Void Gate increased from 25 gold to 50 gold.

The health points of the portal now behave like a pink eye. So the 5 health points must be dealt with in 5 attacks. However, it regenerates these points if it has not been attacked for 5 seconds. In addition, there is now a clear symbol on the minimap.

These were not all patch notes, but if you want to know what happened to Fiora, Jayce, Kalista, or the Tiamat item, you can read the patch notes for the LoL patch 6.6 on the official website. Here you can find the official League of Legends website with all patch notes.

What do you think of the changes? Who do you think deserves a buff or nerf?

Black Desert: Server offline on 23.3. – Lengthy maintenance work [Update: Extended]

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time < 1 minutes

In the fantasy MMORPG Black Desert, the servers will be down for extended maintenance on March 23rd.

Since 9:00 AM, the Black Desert servers have been down, and the game is inaccessible. The reason is lengthy maintenance work. It is expected to last until 5:00 PM.

For those thinking a major patch is being deployed, perhaps even the new zone Mediah, they are mistaken: This is about improving the network, increasing bandwidth, and reducing latency – effectively reducing lag. There will likely be no changes to the game itself.

Update: The maintenance has been extended by 2 hours. The servers are expected to remain down until 7:00 PM. Daum apologizes for the delay.

We recently reported on the plans Daum has for Black Desert after its successful launch in Europe and America.

The Division: Tips for an “OP” Caduceus Build – Will You Become a Super-Agent Like This?

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In The Division, Schorri TV gives you tips and tricks on how to create an “OP” Caduceus build. You will need the assault rifle Caduceus, the right skills, and a special backpack.

division-hell

In the endgame of The Division, players strive for increasingly powerful agents. There are various ways to upgrade the agent to match your playstyle. The YouTuber Schorri TV presents his build and shows you tips and tricks you might not have thought of. We want to start with a trick on how to run around Manhattan with significantly more ammunition.

How to Have More Ammunition in The Division

There is a trick in The Division that allows you to have almost twice as much ammunition as before. The best build is of little use if ammunition runs out and you can only use your sidearm. This is not a glitch or bug, but a cool backpack: the Police Backpack.

The-Division-Belohnungshändler

To get this backpack, you need to have pre-ordered the game. Then you can pick it up at the rewards vendor in the operations base. This backpack has a nice bonus of +75% ammunition capacity.

However, the Police Backpack of the “Standard” tier has a low armor value, making it not recommended to carry it in combat. But that’s not necessary: it’s enough to equip this backpack when picking up ammunition from ammo crates. Then you can switch back to your “normal” backpack and continue playing with 75% more ammo. This way, your agent won’t run out of firepower so quickly.

How to Create an OP Caduceus Build in The Division

Since Schorri TV’s build is heavily focused on the assault rifle Caduceus, it is to be viewed as a Caduceus build. This “OP build” looks as follows:

Here are his high-end weapons:

  • Primary: Caduceus
  • Secondary: Midas – You can learn more about the Midas in The Division here.
  • Sidearm: PF 45 – Custom 
caduceus-division

These weapons, especially the Caduceus, also influence the selection of attributes he focuses on:

  • Firearms: 1918 (Primary DPS: 124099)
  • Stamina: 1989 (Health points 61870)
  • Electronics: 1965 (Skill power 22.106)

He has skill points in this way to utilize all the talents of his weapons. These require a certain number of attributes to be unlocked.

These are the skills of this build:

  • The individual skill can be anything: When he is alone, he takes the medical one; in a group, the security one.
  • First Aid with the “Injection Mod”: This not only heals the user but also temporarily increases damage.
  • Seeker Mine with the “Air Detonation Mod”: The mine releases a multitude of small incendiary bombs upon reaching the target.

The seeker mine with this mod really heats things up for enemies, especially with the support of the following talents:

  • Burning: The burning status effect has a 30% chance to also trigger on enemies within 10 meters.
  • Chain Reaction: If multiple enemies take damage from an explosion, damage is increased by 40%.
  • For healing talents, he takes Rescue Medicine and Counter.
division-rikers

You can find all skills in The Division here in the overview.

This build is entirely focused on the Caduceus to unlock its talents and ensure they shine. Because, according to Schorri TV, this weapon has an “OP Talent”: Cool Head.

This talent reduces all skill cooldowns by 5.5% on headshot hits. This allows you to use skills quickly one after the other – in this case, the seeker mine, which inflicts significant damage thanks to the talents.

It’s “incredible how it works and how quickly your skills are ready again.” Half a magazine in the head, and you can already throw the next mine. Therefore, he has placed a lot of importance on being able to use this talent effectively. And with the trick of increased ammunition, you have almost 1000 shots available with the Caduceus.

In the following, you can check out the video by Schorri TV:

https://youtu.be/DP15j2g-DdI

This build is suitable for both the Dark Zone and PvE. What do you think of this OP Caduceus build?

Doom: These 6 multiplayer modes are available in the shooter for adults

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Bethesda Softworks has introduced the multiplayer modes of the upcoming shooter Doom.

Many shooter fans are already really excited about Doom. The multiplayer part promises fast-paced and tactical action. Now it is also clear in which modes you can compete against other players.

These modes include:

  • Soul Harvest – This is a team deathmatch variant where you earn points not by kills, but by collecting the souls of eliminated enemies. It is even possible to collect souls from your own team, which does not grant points, but can prevent those souls from falling into enemy hands.
  • Freeze Tag – In this mode, you must freeze your opponents and make sure to unfreeze your frozen teammates. If you shoot the sliding ice blocks into deadly traps, you can eliminate an enemy in this way. If all players on a team are frozen, that team loses.
  • Warpath – This is a type of “King of the Hill”, where the location you need to capture is constantly moving. By capturing and holding a control point, you earn points over time. With a certain number of points, you win.
  • Domination – Your task is to capture and control up to three stationary control points. The longer you hold a point, the more points you earn. A demon rune will appear on the map, allowing you to transform into a particularly strong demon.
  • Team Deathmatch – This is the well-known and classic multiplayer mode that is enhanced by a constantly appearing demon rune.
  • Clan Arena – Also a classic game mode where the goal is simply to eliminate enemies as quickly as possible. However, there are no respawns and no demon runes. If the time runs out before a team is completely eliminated, the team with the most surviving players wins.

Final Fantasy XIV and Phantasy Star Online 2 are Under One Roof

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time < 1 minutes

PSO2 and FFXIV are working together to delight fans with some references from each other’s games. We have the details.

If two MMORPGs really, really love each other…

Many games initiate so-called cross-promotions with each other, offering a little mutual recognition and, of course, generating quite a bit of customer traffic. In Japan, we are now seeing a rather unusual collaboration, as the developers of Final Fantasy XIV and Phantasy Star Online 2 (whether this will ever appear here – who knows) are putting their heads together to work on a small collaboration.

The infamous boss Odin from the Final Fantasy franchise makes an appearance in the world of Phantasy Star Online, offering players an exciting boss fight  – according to the video, also with an “Instant Kill” ability, as Odin had in many installments of the series. Players can earn various costumes of the Miqo’te.

At least for Phantasy Star Online 2, such things are more or less traditional; earlier, there were similar events with Tales of Zestiria or Valkyria Chronicles.

What kind of promotion they intend to offer in return in Final Fantasy XIV, and whether this will also come to Europe, is not yet known. The event is scheduled for the upcoming summer.

Destiny: “Adjust Your Expectations” – Bungie Dampens Hype around Spring Update

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time < 1 minutes

In the MMO shooter Destiny there is a small dampener for the fans.

Tomorrow we will learn in a stream what will happen in the Spring update of Destiny. Yesterday, Bungie employee Eric Osborne already reported and said what fans should definitely not expect. Nothing will happen with the old raids, neither “The Vault of Glass” nor “Crota’s End” will play a role in the Spring update, said the Destiny guy known as “Urk”.

Players should adjust their expectations accordingly.

An update of the two old raids is therefore off the table. Fans would have certainly liked to see Atheon again, as the first raid is still considered the highlight of Destiny so far. At the moment, many believe, Bungie will resurrect “Prison of Elders” in the April patch – not exactly a fan favorite.

Tomorrow evening we will learn more.

The Division: So geht man mit Trollen in der Dark Zone um

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time < 1 minutes

In The Division an agent shows how to deal with nasty trolls in the Dark Zone.

In the Dark Zone, some players try to get shot by other agents so that those good agents turn rogue and can be killed and robbed without consequence. In this situation, the YouTuber Novex also found himself. How the fun ended for the trolls can be seen in the following video:

https://youtu.be/ndOdsgJH1S4

Novex did not fall for this trick, so the nasty agents suddenly attacked him openly. Now he turned the tables: even though the rogue trolls were in the majority, he cleverly resolved this situation.

The YouTuber commented on it as follows:

These players were obviously not very good, yet it was damn satisfying.

Have you had similar experiences in the Dark Zone? How did they turn out?

Diablo 3: Level 70 in 33 seconds – This is how speed leveling to the highest level works

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time < 1 minutes

In the game Diablo 3 from Blizzard, there are many ways to level up quickly – but leveling 70 levels in 33 seconds is really good!

In the past, many records have been set in Diablo 3. Often, these records were about which level of the Greater Nephalem Rifts the best players can achieve. Now a video has surfaced showing how to get your Diablo 3 character to max level in 33 seconds – and without cheats!

Level 53 in less than a second

The player “Blacklung” demonstrates in this video one of the fastest methods to reach level 70. This doesn’t mean it’s the best and easiest way, but just watching is very entertaining.

Here’s how leveling a character in Diablo 3 is easier for you:

Diablo3-Kanai
  • Items like the Custerian Wristguards (“Picking up gold grants experience”), Leoric’s Crown (“Enhances the effect of each gem socketed in this item by 75–100% ” ) with a red gem for more experience and a Gem of Ease (“Killed enemies grant +500 experience”) will significantly simplify your leveling process.
  • If possible, you should take a Cow Rift for fast experience farming. They are no longer as rare as they once were and provide increased experience, as well as more gold and stronger items.
  • It goes particularly fast if you have friends who already have well-equipped Diablo characters and can deal a lot of damage.

The Division: Patch did not go as planned – Wild West in the Dark Zone [Update]

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In The Division, the patch apparently did not bring the desired success, but complete chaos.

Update 13.50: Further maintenance work is expected today on 22.3 to fix the issues described here in the article. The servers will go down again. A server reset will take place. It is assumed that the renewed maintenance work will take 15 minutes. No rollback of character files is expected.

Update 14:36: The servers are back up. Patch 1.0.2 is now “fully on the servers,” tweets The Division.

Original Article:

At 12:00 PM, the servers at The Division went back online. A new patch had been deployed during the morning.

The first players quickly reported: The Bullet King is still active. The farming method that was supposed to be eliminated with the patch is reportedly still working according to many reports on reddit.

Worse still: Players report that in the Dark Zone, it is like the Wild West. Because there are currently no “penalties” for turning rogue and dying. Players are shooting each other down and getting incredibly high rewards – there are fears: Those who miss out on this are at a disadvantage later.

Some players are calling for an immediate “hotfix” or for the servers to be taken down or something. Other players say: Wait until I have reached DZ rank 50!

Division-Patch-Notes-102

A developer has reportedly assured via stream that they know the patch is not running correctly and they are already working on it.

The reports on reddit, for example, sound quite agitated. There is already talk of a “purge”, a server rollback that would practically undo the last hour – but all this is still speculation from the fans. What are your experiences?

Heroes of the Storm: Soon players will be able to ban heroes

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

For Heroes of the Storm, there will soon be a ban system that competitive players have long requested. We have the details for you.

Ene, mene, muh and you’re out – Bans in HotS

Players of Heroes of the Storm have long requested it, and now the saving patch is within reach. Soon there will be a ban system in the ranked game modes. The corresponding update is currently being tested on the test servers and can be experienced there until March 29.

Hots Anubarak

One of the most long-requested features is a ban system for the game modes Hero League, Team League, and private matches. Specifically, this means that both teams will each select 2 heroes that cannot be played by any player. The “coin toss” at the beginning of a match will then not only determine who can choose first, but also who can ban first. The first ban round occurs before hero selection, and the second round in the middle. The team that can choose heroes first will start the first ban, while the other team will start the second ban.

More heroes the world needs

The introduction of this system will lead to some further changes. Players who want to participate in the leagues must now own at least 14 different heroes. Previously, it was “only” 10, now 4 more are added (due to the 4 bans per round). However, this adjustment is relativized, as heroes from the “weekly rotation” count as “acquired heroes” for this calculation if they have reached at least character level 5. Therefore, for most players, nothing should change.

Hots Free2Play Hero Rotation
The hero rotation counts as “acquired heroes” when the characters are above level 5.

Never be “accidentally afk” again

Additionally, there are some comfort features. Players can now create a favorites list, allowing them to see their favorites at a glance in the selection screen. With the continuously increasing number of heroes, this is a nice feature to maintain an overview.

Furthermore, the “afk players at the start” will soon be a thing of the past, as Heroes of the Storm will automatically switch to maximized mode when the loading process of a match is completed. Anyone who still prefers to wait at the starting point will now be “removed from the game much faster”.

But it will still take several weeks before this patch goes live. There is no confirmed release date yet.

Update: Here you can find the complete list of talents as they are after Update 1.4 – in German!

New talents after 1.3

  • Focused: When no skill has a cooldown, weapon damage is increased by about 12.5%. Since skills are usually used frequently in The Division, this talent may not have a long-lasting effect. Here, a skill power build that resets cooldowns quickly might be recommended.
    The G36 Assault Rifles coming with Update 1.3 will always have this talent. This is their fixed talent.
  • division-agents-fire
    Decisive:     When you eliminate an enemy, the next shot is guaranteed to be a critical hit. Since Update 1.2, a 100% critical hit chance can no longer be achieved. With this talent, however, a 100% crit chance is guaranteed for one shot. This is a “fixed” talent of the new SVD Sniper Rifles.

Lord of the Rings Online: Update 18 brings Level 105, new region Anórien, 3 instances

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time < 1 minutes

In the Free2Play MMORPG Lord of the Rings Online, a new update is on the way: Fans are showcasing the new region Far Anórien on the test server.

Recently, much has been said about servers in Lord of the Rings Online: consolidations, relocations, and issues. Now it’s time to focus on the game again. Last week, Update 18 was released on the test server Bullroar.

Three New Scaling Instances

This allows players and monster players to level up to 105. The increase of the level cap was one of the main points in Turbine’s plans for LOTRO in 2016. 

With Update 18, three new scaling instances in the cluster of the Pelennor Fields are introduced: “Blood of the Black Serpent,” “Quays of the Harlond,” and “The Silent Street” – scaling from 75 to 105.

The update also adds the region “Far Anórien” with two sub-zones. The fan site “Lotroplayers” has already visited the test server and brought back two videos showcasing the regions of the new zone. These are Taur Drúadan and The Beacon Hills.

Overwatch: Beeindruckender Kurzfilm zur Hintergrundgeschichte von Winston – auf Deutsch

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Blizzard has released the first lore video for Overwatch in the usual cinematic quality. Check out Winston’s backstory here.

The Science Gorilla from the Moon – Winston

Just a few days ago, Blizzard announced that they would finally bring backstory information about the characters of Overwatch to life in moving images, starting with the video “Recall,” which primarily focuses on Winston’s background story. The gorilla from the moon has quite a fondness for bananas, peanut butter, and glasses, but a rather short temper. Oh, and he is a scientist too.

The 8-minute video shows the kind-hearted Winston living his lonely existence in an abandoned Overwatch base. Overwatch has long been disbanded, and the world is slowly sinking back into chaos, yet Winston could act against the existing laws with a click and call all agents back together. What this has to do with Reaper, you should find out for yourself.

http://youtu.be/tTne0a-ioSQ

Mein-MMO says: Blizzard simply knows how to create cinematics. After the announcement of the small “lore snippets” that players should receive, I honestly expected short videos of about 2 minutes in length. However, the fact that Blizzard is kicking off with nearly 8 minutes and thereby overshadowing the original intro cinematic gives hope. And eagerness for more. It seems that Winston’s video is just the first piece of a puzzle that will soon come together with many more into a larger whole.

Especially great are the many details and the humor of the video (even Athena’s announcement voice takes a break so the soldier has time to get thrown through the window). Those with good eyes can even recognize outstanding characters that are in the Overwatch database – a little spoiler for what the future may hold?

Guides on how the challenges in Destiny will go this week

Here is a guide for properly dealing with a huge Ogre who thinks he can show off in the raid and challenges all Guardians on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. He will see what he gets from it.

Hearthstone: New Cards – Priest Legendary Herald Volazj and Boardclear “Doom!”

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

For Hearthstone three new cards have been revealed that join “Whispers of the Old Gods”. Check them out here!

Damnation for All!

Hearthstone Wotog Frog Title

The Hearthstone community still has to wait a bit longer for the release of “Whispers of the Old Gods”, as there is still no precise date other than “late April, early May”. Until then, Blizzard regularly reveals cards from the expansion to keep fans entertained (and to boost the pre-order of card packs).

Warlocks love to wipe all minions off the board with “Swirling Nether”. But how could such a card be made even stronger? It’s easier than you think. The new epic Warlock spell “Doom!” destroys all minions on the battlefield for 10 mana and allows the player to draw a card for each minion destroyed. The spell is currently considered very situational, as Warlocks often already have a rather full hand and risk “burning” many cards.

  • Hearthstone Wotog Doom
  • Hearthstone Wotog Herald Volazj

For Priests, the tentacled cat has been let out of the bag with the reveal of the new legendary card “Herald Volazj”. For 6 mana, the Faceless has stats of 5/5 and the battle cry: “Summons 1/1 copies of each of your other minions.” There is much discussion around this card, as while the effect can be devastating with Ragnaros (since even a 1/1 Ragnaros deals 8 damage at the end of the turn), many fans criticize that this is a typical “Win More” card that can only be played if you are already significantly ahead.

Finally, all classes have the new neutral minion “Infested Tauren”, a character for 4 mana with stats of 2/3 and taunt. Since that alone is rather weak, it also has the deathrattle effect: “Summon a 2/2 slime”, which however comes without taunt.

What do you think of the new cards? Do you have ideas about how they could fit into existing decks or be combined well?
