The Spiritborn is currently the strongest class in Diablo 4, and many players are having fun with the OP builds. However, switching to another class this season can be quite hard for some.
What is the status of the Spiritborn?
The Spiritborns came with Vessel of Hatred in Diablo 4. They currently dominate the tier list of the best builds for Season 6 and are still a bit stronger than the competition in the best tier.
In the last YouTube livestream, the developers announced that the community enjoys playing the Spiritborn quite a lot. According to Blizzard, 62% of all players have chosen the class. In comparison: In Season 5, the Sorceress was the most played class – it was at 32%.
On Reddit, users are now sharing how hard it is to switch to another class after playing the strong Spiritborn with its OP builds. They feel really spoiled by the new class.

Blizzard explains the Spiritborn, the new class in Diablo 4 and its spirits
“The Spiritborn has spoiled me”
Why does the switch feel bad for some? In a post on Reddit, the user BIGREDEEMER explains that it feels like a “slap in the face” to try another class after the Spiritborn. The new class has spoiled him, and the progress feels awful with other classes.
In the comments, users discuss the topic. They mention various reasons why the Spiritborns are currently so popular:
The gameplay of the Spiritborn and the OP builds are simply more fun.
Leveling goes quickly because players can breeze through the content and deal good damage. Sometimes even so quickly that players experience the boss mechanics for the first time with other classes.
Even at a similar level, players with other classes deal less damage; the player with the Spiritborn is always the “main damage dealer.”
Playing in a group with Spiritborn players allows one to be almost AFK and farm XP and/or loot while others do all the killing.
For some players, this advantage means they can be carried by others playing the Spiritborn through tough content. For example, taizzle71 writes that his Hunter is fully geared – but a Spiritborn can outperform him, even with worse gear. He gets carried in content like the Abyss because the new class wipes everything – even above Abyss level 100.
In the comment, rizarjay states that he agrees with the post creator. Still, he is even looking forward to playing another class in the upcoming season. “The Spiritborn was almost too easy, while other classes feel good after a good pace of progress. Every new difficulty feels earned and rewarding,” he notes.
And laffs_ believes the developers need to nerf the Spiritborn and fix the bugs so that the game is in a good place. Damien23123 would rather wait until the mid-season update before playing another class. “Hopefully, there will be some buffs,” he writes.
In fact, Blizzard is planning several buffs for the mid-season update, which will soon arrive in Season 6 of Diablo 4. Adjustments are expected for all classes to bring balancing a bit closer together. But the Spiritborn, as a strong class, will also not go empty-handed.

With the MEGA 1, manufacturer Blackview has introduced a tablet with an 11.5 inch display for under 300 euros. MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann has tested the device and explains who might benefit from this model.
Tablets always represent a special group: Too big for the pocket and in everyday life, many tend to reach for a laptop or a slim Surface model instead. With the MEGA 1, Blackview offers a mid-range tablet for under 300 euros.
[toc]
But can the device really convince for under 300 euros, or should one invest a bit more money? I used the device in everyday life and explain what is behind it. And why the device, apart from a few annoying quirks, is really good.
I am the Tech Editor at MeinMMO and have a penchant for peripherals, testing mice, keyboards, and gaming headsets. In particular, gaming mice are among my absolute favorites. In addition to the PS5 and a gaming PC, I also play on a Steam Deck.
Transparency Note: The model was offered to us by the manufacturer as a review unit. There was no influence on the test.

Design and Build Quality
How is the tablet constructed? The MEGA 1 is a tablet with 11.5 inches. This puts the Blackview device already in the league of large tablets. There are also larger models, such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra with 14.6 inches, but such sizes are quite rare. The corners are rounded, and the camera protrudes significantly on the back. The protruding camera can actually be a bit disturbing in everyday use and tends to scratch quickly if you place the device with the camera facing down on the table.

Build Quality: The build quality is really excellent for a model in the 300 Euro range: The device uses a solid metal casing, which not only looks valuable but also feels really good in hand. A plastic case feels significantly cheaper in comparison.
In the test, I compared my wife’s iPad (10th generation, 2022) and my Surface Pro. In direct comparison, the MEGA 1 holds its ground; it feels just as premium and well-made as the expensive competitors from Apple and Microsoft.
Weight and Size: The tablet weighs about 530 grams. For comparison: My Microsoft Surface Pro 7 is significantly heavier at 790 grams, but it is also larger and thicker. With its dimensions of 268.7 x 169 x 7.6 mm, the MEGA 1 is almost compact for such a large tablet.

Setup and Android
Which Android version is in use? The MEGA 1 runs on Android 13 and is therefore not quite up to date. At the time of testing, the last security update was from February 5, 2024, and no newer update is available.
Here the iPad (10th generation, 2022) has the advantage, as Apple still distributes current updates to older devices. The important differences between Android and iOS are also broken down on MeinMMO.
Setup and Apps: The setup runs without issues, like on any Android device: I log in with my Google account and can theoretically transfer all of my account data.
Only official Google apps are almost installed on the device, with the complete portfolio including YouTube, Meet, and more. WPS Office is the only third-party app that caught my attention, but it doesn’t really bother me.

The Strengths of the Blackview MEGA 1 in Detail: Display, Features, Build Quality, and Performance
The Display: One of the biggest strengths of the tablet is undoubtedly the display: It is bright enough and sufficient details can be seen even outdoors in the sun, for instance, if you want to watch a series on the balcony.
The 11.5-inch display has a resolution of 2000 × 1200 pixels, achieving a pixel density of around 200 ppi. More than sufficient for everyday use: 200-210 ppi is good for enjoying films and series, but texts and apps that are very small may appear slightly blurry. To continue the comparison: The iPad 10th generation with its 10.9 inches has a resolution of 2360 x 1640 pixels at 264 ppi, which is significantly sharper.
You have the best reading and multimedia experience at over 300 ppi. High-end models in the mobile field range between 400 and 500 ppi, but they also cost significantly more.
The display of the MEGA 1 is bright and sharp enough for everyday use. Excellent for films and multimedia, but with a lot of text, a slight blur is noticeable.
Features: The MEGA 1 comes with a very good range of features: Besides the power adapter and charging cable, a case and a stylus for operating the tablet are also included.
In terms of technology, you also get a lot for your money: For under 300 Euros, an LTE chip is rather rare, but it is included here. With 256 GB of storage and 8 (or 12 GB) RAM, the device is well-equipped; the storage can still be expanded with an SD card.
However, there is a trick when it comes to RAM. The device is advertised with 16 GB of RAM, but actually, only 8 GB (or 12 GB) are installed. The RAM can be virtually expanded to 16 (or 24 GB), which then uses part of the internal storage of the device. However, this is not really sensible in everyday use, as it generally makes the device slower rather than faster.
Netflix and Widevine Support: It also comes with a “Widevine L1” certification. Widevine is a DRM standard used by services like Netflix and Amazon Prime. With the highest standard, you can enjoy all content in HD. Therefore, the device is well-suited if you regularly want to watch movies and series from Netflix on your tablet (via netflix.com).
During testing, I logged into Netflix, and Netflix confirmed that I have Widevine L1 and therefore the maximum possible resolution is supported. The iPad 10th generation can also stream at maximum full HD (via netflix.com).
Netflix also works very well in practice: the image is sharp and the colors look pleasantly natural on the display.
Netflix indicates: Widevine L1 is present, hence Full HD is possible.
The Performance: The MEGA 1 is equipped with a “Helio G99 Ultimate” processor from Mediatek (MT6789). The chip is in the upper mid-range. In everyday use, the performance is more than sufficient; the tablet responds very quickly and without stuttering.
Gaming is also possible with some drawbacks: Games like Diablo Immortal run stably and smoothly on the tablet, but during testing, Diablo Immortal did not recognize the “120 Hz” display of the MEGA 1. However, once a lot is happening at once, the performance noticeably drops. You can tell that Blackview designed the tablet more as a multimedia device. It is only conditionally a gaming tablet, as advertised by the manufacturer on Amazon. For quick daily tasks, the performance is definitely sufficient.
The Weaknesses of the Blackview MEGA 1 in Detail: Charging Speed and Camera
The Battery: Basically, the battery lasts me two to three days, depending on how much I demand from the device. However, what is even more frustrating is the charging speed: The MEGA 1 does offer a fast charging option, yet it takes the tablet 4-5 hours to fully charge. So a “quick charge before the business trip” is not really feasible.
The Camera: Blackview advertises the MEGA 1 with a 50 MP main camera and 13 MP for the selfie camera. The pictures are okay at best and suitable for snapshots. Once the light is low, the images become grainy and inaccurate. There is also no image stabilization integrated into the camera. However, it should also be clear that tablets are primarily designed for media consumption and not for photography.
Dust and Water Protection: According to the manufacturer, the MEGA 1 does not offer IP-rated dust and water protection. This is very unfortunate as the tablet can really impress with its build quality and feel. However, it must be said that the iPad offers no such protection either: While Apple’s iPhones all have an IP68 classification, this is missing in the larger iPads.
Android Version: The MEGA 1 utilizes Android 13 (Release: August 15, 2022). This is therefore no longer current; many devices are already running on Android 14, and Google is already distributing Android 15. What is more frustrating is that Blackview does not distribute security updates anymore: The last security update for the MEGA 1 was from February 5, 2024. So an over six-month period without updates.
Conclusion: Price-Performance Tip for around 300 Euros
For whom is the tablet worthwhile? In my opinion, the MEGA 1 is a fair offer if you are looking for a good and fast tablet for around 300 Euros. Especially if you still want to consume media like Netflix and do not want to use the TV for that.
Due to the lack of IP68 protection, the device is only partially usable for the next beach holiday. The camera is also a weak point alongside the long charging time of the battery and the old Android version. The trickiness with the RAM is also borderline.
Due to Black Friday, there is a discount of 20 euros on the tablet on Amazon until Sunday, November 17, 2024.

What alternatives are there?
With the Xiaomi Pad 6, you get a decently equipped tablet with an 11-inch display and 144 Hz for around 200 euros. However, it lacks a mobile option and a memory card slot.
The iPad 10th generation is also considered a good recommendation if it doesn’t have to be Android. At a minimum of 350 euros, it is more expensive than the MEGA 1. While the performance is convincing, you will have to pay significantly more for accessories. However, you will also get the better IPS display.
The Galaxy Tab S9 FE is also an alternative: Good performance, decent battery life, and waterproof (IP68). However, it does not have a display with 120 Hz and only an outdated USB port.
Android and iOS are the two largest operating systems for mobile devices in 2024. But which one is better? MeinMMO presents the differences and explains the strengths of Android and iOS: Android and iOS compared: Which is better?

Blizzard and NetEase promote the return of the Lich King in World of Warcraft Classic in China with cats. The two released trailers are packed with Easter eggs for long-time fans.
What are these trailers? The two trailers were uploaded two years apart on the official NetEase-Blizzard channel on BiliBili, the Chinese equivalent of YouTube. The first was released on October 2, 2022.

Blizzard releases a sweet trailer featuring cats for the launch of WoW: Wrath of the Lich King Classic
Cats play WoW, awaken the Lich King
What does the first trailer show? It starts out quite strangely: A cat sits in front of a screen connected to a gaming PC. The clicking sounds suggest that the cat is currently playing WoW. Three other cats are relaxing behind her, one of them wearing glasses.
Suddenly, another cat walks through the door. But this is no ordinary cat; it appears to be Mr. Bigglesworth: the pet cat of Kel’Thuzad and a rare battle pet.
Those who were paying attention might have already spotted one of the most powerful artifacts in the game in the background. On a drawer, the Crown of Domination is sitting. Driven by curiosity or evil intent, Mr. Bigglesworth activates the crown.

Blizzard announces the return of a mount in WoW for China, releases a trailer with cats
What does the second trailer show? It was uploaded on November 9, 2024, and somehow manages to be even crazier. In it, a cat and an obsessed cockatoo are fighting over a fish. The path to the goal is once again filled with numerous references to the game.
New expansion for WoW Classic, but disputes delayed the release
What were the trailers promoting? The trailer from 2022 promoted the release of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion for the Chinese version of WoW Classic. The newer one announces the return of the spectral tiger as a mount.
Wrath of the Lich King is often considered by fans to be the best expansion for the MMORPG, alongside Burning Crusade. However, despite the trailer in 2022, players in China could only start in 2024. A few months after the release of the clip, a rift occurred between Blizzard and NetEase.
Foreign companies are only allowed to do business in China if they collaborate with a Chinese partner. After NetEase and Blizzard split, the servers for WoW and Classic were shut down. However, it seems they have reconciled now, as the two companies have renewed their collaboration, and WoW is once again playable in China.
In a new game, you pick real treasures out of other people’s junk. This has been received “very well” by players on Steam.
Which game is being talked about? The game is called Trash Goblin and was released in Early Access on November 6, 2024, on Steam – meaning the game is intended to be further developed with player feedback. If you just want to try out the game once, the free demo is recommended.
What is the game about? You play as a small goblin and sift through the junk left behind by others. You pick it apart with your tool. In doing so, you uncover one or the other treasure, which you can then sell in your shop.
You can watch the official trailer for the Early Access launch here:
Start video
Trash Goblin launches on Steam in Early Access
Restoration and tinkering
What does the gameplay look like? At first glance, it is hard to tell what you have in front of you. To reach the treasures, you first need to carefully chip away several layers of junk with a chisel. Then you scrub the item clean.
There are no other tools besides chisel and sponge. Essentially, every item requires the same approach. Depending on the type of player, this can quickly become boring or appear meditative. It all depends on what you’re looking for.
Once an object shines again in its former glory, you can also combine it with others. Ultimately, it is up to you whether you sell the item or keep it for yourself and display it at home. With money, you buy new furniture and decorations for your goblin hideout.
Charming game with limited content
How has the game been received so far? Currently, 81% of players on Steam give a thumbs up, resulting in an overall “very positive” rating. The relaxed (albeit repetitive) gameplay and the charming atmosphere are most frequently praised.
However, some players criticize the current scope of the game. Steam user lolodapolo writes, for example: “I do not recommend this game at the moment – mostly because it feels so empty and unfinished. Right now, you get the same amount of fun and content from the demo […]”
The streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel dominated Twitch from 2020 to 2022. In those 3 years, he was the most-watched streamer on the streaming platform. But that changed when he accepted an offer from the streaming platform Kick in June 2023. Now he is loudly complaining that he was not nominated for the “The Streamer Awards” and laments a loss of his significance.
What is xQc complaining about? The streamer xQc complained on November 12 that he was not nominated for a single category at the “The Streamer Awards 2024.”
He believes that the awards, hosted and organized by QTCinderella, are clearly totally unfair:
Streamers have to “beg for money and subs” and “run as many ads as possible” to get nominated, xQc complains.
About himself, he says: “I lost, I fell off and I have to take a loss” (“I lost, fell off + L)”

xQc was nominated for the award for 3 consecutive years
Was he nominated for awards before? In 2022, 2023, and 2024, he was nominated for the category “Streamer of the Year” at the “The Streamer Awards.” However, he never won the award.
In 2022, he did win the award for “Just Chatting” and in 2023 the award for best “Variety Streamer” – but he leaves empty-handed for this year’s edition.
The streaming awards are usually awarded in February/March. But now they are moving to the end of the year. Therefore, there will be two award ceremonies in 2024. The fourth edition of “The Streamer Awards” will come on December 7.
xQc was also nominated for “Streamer of the Year” at the “Esports Awards” in 2018, 2019, and 2021.
xQc sold himself to an online casino for a lot of money
What is going on with xQc? It is ironic that xQc complains that one must run “a lot of ads” to be nominated, while he is practically constantly advertising for an online casino on Kick.
The content and direction of xQc’s stream have changed since his move to Kick. Kick is a platform heavily sponsored by the online casino Stake. Kick was born in response to Twitch’s ban on such casino streams that promote Stake. German gambling streamers were also hit hard by this ban.
xQc has transitioned from a trendsetter on Twitch, who established reaction streams and constantly entertained viewers, to an influencer now associated with betting and gambling.
Papaplatte nominated, but probably unlikely to win
Who is nominated? There are a total of 27 different categories (via streamerawards).
In the category of “Best International Streamers,” the German Papaplatte made the shortlist. But he is up against streamers like the Spaniard Ibai, IShowSpeed (because he has many international fans), or the Japanese FPS_Shaka.
For Gamer of the Year, CaseOh_, Jynzi, TenZ, KaiCenat, and Clix are nominated.
For Streamer of the Year, IShowSpeed, Caedrel, PirateSoftware, Emiru, and KaiCenat are nominated.
This is the most controversial nomination: For “Best Collaboration Streamed,” a stream by Adin Ross with Donald Trump is nominated.
By the way: Asmongold is also completely absent from the nominations this year. The MMORPG category, which Asmongold won in 2022 and for which he was nominated in 2024, has now been removed for the December edition of the Streamer Awards.
Dauntless originally aimed to be a free-to-play alternative to Monster Hunter, but ultimately could not compete with the release of Monster Hunter World. In hopes of saving the MMO, developer Phoenix Labs is now attempting a restart.
What kind of update is it? Initially announced under the name “The Shattered Isles,” the developer studio Phoenix Labs revealed in a dev blog in August 2023 (via playdauntless) that they were working behind the scenes on a comprehensive content update to give Dauntless new appeal.
At the end of September 2024, there was a beta under the new name “Dauntless: Awakening”. Interested players could extensively test the significant changes and provide feedback.
Now, over a month after the beta, the developers announced that the extensive overhaul update is set to launch by the end of the year (via playdauntless). A more precise release date is to be announced later this week in another dev blog.

A Fresh Breeze as an Opportunity
What revisions does the update bring? The focus of the update is on improving the overall player experience, equipment, and encounters. Specifically, it will address the following points:
Combat improvements: This includes the ability to equip more than one weapon simultaneously, offering more flexible combat options. Furthermore, both the combat system will be clearer and the interactions between Slayers and Behemoths will be more responsive.
New progression system: This should incorporate deeper, permanent progress for the weapons and community feedback on re-crafting and overloading.
Encounters and hunts: There should be more dynamic islands and new exploration incentives. Additionally, the Behemoths will receive revamped behaviors, allowing them to interact more with their environment.
Difficulty level: This will be finely adjusted in all modes without devaluing the mastery of the game mechanics.
Quests: The main and side quests, as well as the tutorial, will also be revised and improved.
Additionally, the visuals will receive a new coat of paint, and the interface will be improved. Rewards will also be used more meaningfully. There will be new activities as well.
Whether Phoenix Labs’ efforts will pay off remains to be seen. As a community-oriented developer studio, there is significant potential in their endeavor.

The 22-year-old Kai Cenat is currently holding a month-long marathon stream on Twitch. In the first 250 hours, he has already set a record and earned about 1 million US dollars.
In 2023, Kai Cenat broke two records on Twitch with his “Mafiathon,” a month-long streaming marathon: He became the streamer with the most active subs of all time and was the first to break the mark of 300,000 simultaneously active subscriptions. Even the rapper Drake congratulated the streamer.
Currently, Kai Cenat is hosting the “Mafiathon II” and is reclaiming the record that a pink-haired anime girl had taken from him in the meantime. For that, the streamer has been continuously streaming for over 250 hours – aside from a short interruption when Kai Cenat was banned from Twitch for a few minutes.
From Overwatch professional to number 1 on Twitch to 100 million $ – Who is xQc?
Kai Cenat is the new old Twitch world champion
This is how it is going for Kai Cenat right now: The streamer is still in the midst of his subathon, but already the marathon stream is a complete success. In the early morning hours of November 12th in our time, Kai Cenat surpassed 326,252 simultaneous subs and reclaimed his record after just about a month and a half.
The 22-year-old is now again the streamer with the most simultaneously active paid subscriptions ever – and the subathon is far from over. So it is quite possible that the record streamer will also surpass 400,000.
You can see the big moment here (Warning, loud!):

How much money is that? Currently, Kai Cenat has over 333,000 subs, mostly worth $4.99 – the more expensive Tier 2 and Tier 3 subs are negligible. However, Twitch keeps a share of the subs, and for a streamer of Kai Cenat’s size, you can expect around 30% if he hasn’t made another deal.
Then about 1.1 million dollars should still end up in the streamer’s account, so roughly one million euros. 20% of the revenue, however, is not supposed to go to Kai Cenat, but to a project with which the streamer wants to build a school in Nigeria.
Fans cheer for streamer, others are critical
How is this being discussed? Kai Cenat is being widely celebrated by his fans for his success. Even the Vtuber ironmouse, who temporarily held the record, expresses her admiration: She even believes that the streamer could break 1 million subs (via X).
But not everyone is so enthusiastic. One user on X asks: “Why donate to the rich?” This is a question that almost always arises when larger streamers are generously gifted subs by their community.
After all, these content creators likely have more money than most fans who are subscribing – wouldn’t the sub be better off with a smaller streamer?
In the case of Kai Cenat, several factors likely come together. Some fans respond to the user: They support a good cause, and it is also cool to be part of such a record.
The 22-year-old also occupies a special role on Twitch, as the top streamers are still predominantly white. As a black American who hails from difficult circumstances and has fought his way to the top of the streaming platform, Kai Cenat serves as a role model, especially for younger African American viewers who are seldom represented.
Additionally, Kai Cenat has a good connection with celebrities: He has already had stars like actor Kevin Hart, rappers Nicki Minaj and Snoop Dogg, and wrestler John Cena as guests on his stream.
The 22-year-old turns his streams into spectacular events with star guests and a lot of entertainment programming – and that pays off.
In the livestream, the developers of Diablo 4 provided a brief insight into the upcoming midseason patch. With this, all classes can look forward to buffs – even the already strong Spiritborn.
On November 12, Blizzard held a “Campfire Chat” livestream, in which they offered a glimpse of the upcoming midseason patch. This is essentially a small preview, as there will be another stream next week – this time with more information and details.
What will the midseason patch include? With the midseason patch, Blizzard plans adjustments for all classes to bring the balancing closer together. Currently, the Spiritborn is the strongest class in Diablo 4 and dominates the tier list of the best builds for Season 6. The developers emphasized that there will be no nerfs in the midseason – one should enjoy what they have until Season 7.
To align the classes more closely, buffs will be applied to all classes in the midseason patch. But the Spiritborn will also not be left out.

Diablo 4: Der Gameplay-Trailer zur 6. Season, der Saison des aufsteigenden Hasses
Buffs for everyone – even for the OP class in Diablo 4
What buffs will there be? With the midseason patch, various skills, aspects, and uniques of the six classes will receive buffs, which we summarize below. Additionally, we include a few English screenshots from the YouTube livestream from Blizzard.
The Barbarians will primarily receive buffs to their core skills – such as Hammer of the Ancients and Whirlwind. The damage of the skills will be increased.
Druids can look forward to a buff for all central passive skills. Among other things, the damage of the skill Wolf’s Frenzy will be increased. The legendary aspect Storm Chaser Aspect will also receive a buff, allowing you to pursue more targets with the tornado while dealing more damage. The unique “The Basilisk” will also receive a buff regarding its damage.
The Necromancers are currently quite strong and stand at the top of the tier list for endgame builds in Season 6 with various builds. Nevertheless, they will also receive buffs – including for their base skills. Additionally, the uniques Mortacrux and Howl from the Deep will be buffed.
Rogues will receive a buff for core skills and central passive skills. For example, the damage of Piercing Shot and Blade Storm will be increased.
Regarding Sorceresses, there will be buffs for central passive skills and aspects. The skills Ignite and Avalanche will be buffed in terms of their damage.
And even the strong Spiritborn will receive a few small buffs, primarily for skills that, according to Blizzard, “have been less successful.” This includes Cutting Wings and Withering Fist. The skill Venomous Skin will be buffed regarding its damage. Venomous Skin is currently used in a new “AFK build” where you take out enemies passively.
Keep in mind that this is just a small insight into the midseason patch. The developers emphasize that there will be more adjustments to class balance. In Season 7, further adjustments will take place, especially for the Spiritborn. You will then be able to test the changes on a PTR for the next season.
When will the midseason patch be released? The full patch notes are expected to be available later this week, with the update itself next week. Additionally, there will be another Blizzard livestream next week, in which the developers will announce details about the PTR for Season 7.
The strong Spiritborn is repeatedly a topic in the Diablo 4 community. Players discuss the OP builds, and some believe that they can take a nerf. Others think it would be better to demand buffs for all the other classes. Some also warn against thoughtless demands, as Blizzard often uses feedback to improve Diablo 4.

In League of Legends, there are always champions that are played significantly better by professionals than by regular players. This is also true for the relatively new champion Aurora. However, she seems to be going a bit overboard, as she is being massively changed.
She started quite successfully in the normal range, but that has changed. If you look at the statistics on U.GG, she isn’t doing very well at all. On the mid lane, based on all ranks, she has a win rate of only 48.3%.
However, if you watched the Worlds 2024 as a spectator, you noticed that Aurora was banned quite often. In the main event, she was the most banned champion with a total of 65 bans. Regardless of who played, the professionals were afraid of her.
This does not seem to please Riot very much. In the next patch, Aurora will be massively changed.
The big topic in LoL right now is Arcane:

Lead designer of Riot says: Aurora has 2 problems
What is the problem with Aurora? The upcoming changes to Aurora were commented on by lead champion designer Squad5 on x.com. He explains that Aurora currently has 2 problems. One is that Aurora is too difficult. Learning Aurora should be of medium difficulty, but currently, she is only suitable for high-skill players. This lowers her win rate.
The second problem is the professional scene. Even if her current state is weak, she still has a high priority in esports. The upcoming changes are intended to solve both problems.
What will be changed? The changes are almost like a mini-rework, as every ability will be adjusted:
Passive
The spirits you collect will no longer give you movement speed
Q Ability
The Q ability will now reactivate automatically when the duration is over
The cooldown will be increased
The range will be increased
The base damage will be increased
W Ability
The cooldown will no longer reset on a kill or assist
Activating the W ability will now also grant movement speed
The cooldown will be reduced
E Ability
The range will be increased
Ultimate (R Ability)
You will no longer gain movement speed, only the movement speed from W
Enemies will no longer be held but slowed when they leave the area
The duration of the ultimate will be increased
The changes are intended to make it easier for less skilled players to utilize the ideas behind their abilities. Especially positioning with Aurora will be simplified due to the improved range.
However, the change to the ultimate will likely make Aurora weaker at high ranks than she is now, as one can walk out of it. Previously, one was trapped in the area for the duration of the ultimate.
Palworld is currently facing a lawsuit from Nintendo. However, this does not affect the success of the game, especially in Japan.
How is Palworld doing? Since the release of Palworld in January 2024, it seemed for a long time that Nintendo and the Pokémon Company would refrain from legal action due to patent infringement.
Nintendo is demanding, among other things, compensation of 10 million yen. This is approximately 61,000 euros. The developers of Palworld, Pocketpair, have already responded to the announcement of the lawsuit – they want to stick with Palworld.
Only a few days later, the PS5 version of the game was released on September 25, 2024. In Japan, console players had to wait a little longer, until October 4. But the wait was worth it.

Palworld reaches the winner’s podium
How is Palworld selling in Japan? Especially in the country where Pokémon originates, Palworld is currently celebrating great success. The PS5 version quickly became a hit and is according to PlayStation the most downloaded game in October.
In other countries like the USA, it at least reached the 10th place, and in Europe it reached 9th place (via blog.de.playstation.com)
By comparison: Other top titles like Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, which is traditionally very popular in Japan, is being pushed down by Palworld and only lands in “2nd place”. Followed by Metaphor: ReFantazio and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 in 3rd and 4th places.
Currently, players worldwide do not seem to be bothered by Nintendo’s lawsuit. If the company wins in court, it could be that Pocketpair has to change their game or even take it off the market to no longer infringe on patents.

CoD: Black Ops 6 is the latest installment of the well-known shooter series and the first to be available directly at launch on Game Pass. One might naturally wonder whether this helps or harms the game. A gaming analyst now explains whether the subscription had an impact.
What is it about? On October 25, 2024, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was released and many fans of the series viewed it as a step in the right direction. This time, the game was also released directly at launch on Game Pass. Users of the Microsoft subscription could play the game on PC and Xbox without any additional costs.

It depends
Who is the analyst? Matt Piscatella is a gaming analyst with extensive industry experience. He has worked for companies such as Warner Bros. Games and Activision Blizzard. His specialty is business analysis in the gaming industry.
On Bluesky, Piscatella has now commented on Black Ops 6 and the influence of Game Pass. After 2 weeks, he concludes that Game Pass had no negative impact on Black Ops. But also no positive impact. The numbers for Black Ops 6 seem to be quite good:
The engagement of Call of Duty after the release of Black Ops 6 can only be described with the term ‘crazy’. […] The sales figures for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (excluding subscriptions and additional content) are also doing very well.
Matt Piscatella on CoD: Black Ops 6
However, he makes it clear that Black Ops 6 is not a general example of the influence of Game Pass. Regarding the possible influence of Game Pass on other games, he says: It depends.
He states that the debate about the influence of Game Pass has never been settled, as it depends on the respective games. Sometimes the subscription helps a game to go viral, but sometimes it can also harm the game.
Arcane Season 2 is, like the first season, packed with many hidden details and Easter eggs that can be seen in the background. We present to you 5 hidden details that only fans of League of Legends will understand.
Attention Spoiler: The following article discusses events from the first 3 episodes of Arcane Season 2.
Arcane is a series that can also be enjoyed by people who have never played League of Legends. This is due to the focused story and well-developed characters. However, fans of League of Legends can discover some details.
This includes the Black Rose, which we have explained in detail in another article. If you know your way around the Summoner’s Rift, you will recognize details that you know from the game. We will show you what we were able to discover in the first three episodes of the 2nd season.
A trailer for Arcane Season 2:
Start video
Arcane Season 2 Trailer – Nothing to Lose
1. Junglers Will Feel at Home
The jungle is a role in League of Legends where you do not roam the lanes but take down monsters in between. Jungle enthusiasts will recognize a familiar monster in the series. At the end of the first episode of the new season, we see Singed in a snow-covered forest.
There, he captures a two-headed wolf with his gas, which he later uses for experiments. You can see this wolf in every LoL match. It is alongside the Blue Buff on one side and is part of a so-called jungle camp. It is accompanied by two small wolves that you must take down as a jungler to earn gold and experience.
Another jungle monster is also mentioned. In the English original, Heimerdinger talks about the Bramblebacks. That is the name for the Red Buff.
2. Items from the Game in the Series
The most important tool for builds in the various LoL matches are items. You buy them not only to get stronger and defeat opponents but also to defend yourself. This is also what Ambessa and her soldiers do, as can be seen in the third episode of Arcane Season 2.
While Ambessa is visited by Amara, you can see how Ambessa’s right hand places runes on an axe. These runes represent the relatively new item Kaenic Rookern. The item was not chosen randomly. It is a powerful magic resistance item that can protect you from magical damage with a shield.
Ambessa needs that, as her enemy is the Black Rose, who specializes in magic. The power of this magic is clearly visible in episode 3.
You might also suspect that the chainsaw used by the Zhaun fighter in episode 1 is the item Chempunk Chainsword. The green icon in the game at least reminds of it. The masks of the large Zhaun opponents also resemble an item: Turbo Chemtank. This item was particularly popular among large tanks.
3. Did Caitlyn Miss or Not?
One of the biggest discussion points is whether Caitlyn missed Jinx in episode 3 or if Vi blocked the shot. In episode 1 and the previous season, you see Caitlyn’s excellent precision. She hits the smallest targets from afar. She stays calm and even hits perfectly in a hectic battle.
This is also reflected in her ultimate. She crouches briefly, and her shot is guaranteed to hit a target. The only way to block it is if someone steps in the way. However, at the climax of episode 3, Vi blocks the shot aimed at Jinx.
In the details, it can be seen that she did not actually use her Ultimate. As @skyllianhamster explains on x.com, it’s clear that Caitlyn is not focused. Unlike in the ultimate animation, she is not preparing.
If you look at the scope, you can see how Caitlyn could have hit Jinx. Because Vi did not deflect the shot with a move, Caitlyn accidentally hit Vi.
The champion Janna is a popular support in League of Legends, devoted mostly to healing and saving. Janna is also one of the 2 hidden champions in Season 2. In episode 3, Jinx mentions a myth about the goddess Janna who saved miners from death.
Her ultimate fits perfectly with this. With it, she creates a large gust of wind that knocks back enemies and heals allies. She can provide control in a hectic team fight.
If we assume that the workers in the myth were running out of air because they were buried, then Janna’s knocking back enemies fits perfectly, as this ability could also help to clear mines.
5. Heimerdinger’s Hated Towers
Heimerdinger is one of the funniest side characters from Arcane and a true veteran in League of Legends. The brilliant scientist is mainly known for his annoying turrets, which are difficult to deal with in the game.
One of these turrets can also be found in the second episode of Arcane Season 2. When Heimerdinger and Ekko are talking at the holy tree in Zhaun, you can see an invention that the children are playing with. This is Heimerdinger’s turret, although this time it’s in a peaceful version with soap bubbles.
Even before World of Warcraft there were successful MMORPGs. Some of the best representatives from earlier times we have gathered here for you.
World of Warcraft has shaped the MMORPG market like hardly any other game ever has. But even before WoW, there were successful MMORPGs. Some of the most successful MMORPGs we have compiled for you in this list.

Ultima Online
Release: September 30, 1997 | Platform: PC | Setting: medieval fantasy | Developer, Publisher: Broadsword, Electronic Arts | Here’s the official website of Ultima Online
Ultima Online had a significant influence on the MMORPGs as we know them today. Many of the systems that we absolutely want in our games today originate from this MMORPG, for example, housing.
The ISO-MMORPG has received numerous content expansions and updates since its release and is still playable today. Since 2014, Ultima Online has been operated by Broadsword Games, who are now also the operators of Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Ultima Online: Trailer introduces new legacy server of the cult MMORPG
Even in 2024, something is still happening with the MMORPG. Just this year, the new legacy servers were released, which are intended to bring back the classic RPG aspects of the game to players. They are perfect for once again falling into nostalgia.
Star Wars Galaxies
Release: March 16, 1999 | Platform: PC, macOS | Setting: Fantasy | Developer, Publisher: Verant Interactive, LucasArts, Sony Online Entertainment
Star Wars Galaxies is the very first “Star Wars” MMORPG in history and thus the early predecessor of the still successful Star Wars: The Old Republic. The MMORPG takes place shortly after Episode Four of Star Wars, A New Hope, and offered players various classes to choose from. However, it was very difficult to become a Jedi at first.
Later on, players could immediately become a Jedi at the start, which displeased many players. After many updates, players lost interest in the game and in 2011, a week before the launch of Star Wars: The Old Republic, the MMORPG was shut down.

A new video about World of Warcraft fuels the nostalgia of the fans. It’s been well received for a long time.
World of Warcraft is celebrating its 20th birthday and this attracts many old players who are once again engaging with the MMORPG. To honor the event, Blizzard released a video titled “20 Years of Azeroth’s Greatest Adventures” – and hits the nerve it intended to strike.
Start video
WoW celebrates 20 years of the highlights of Azeroth
What does the video show? It features some of the most iconic moments in the history of World of Warcraft. These are moments that have particularly stuck in the minds of players or have significantly shaped the fate of Azeroth. Among them are:
The beginnings of every hero in the starting areas.
The battle against Ragnaros in the Molten Core.
The battle against the Old God C’thun.
The opening of the Dark Portal at the start of “The Burning Crusade”.
The whole conflict surrounding Illidan in the shattered world.
The Lich King in Northrend and the final battle against him, as he wants to turn the players into undead slaves.
The other expansions are all dealt with much more quickly as one approaches modern times. While the battle against Deathwing (Cataclysm) is fully shown, the “Shadowlands” expansion is reduced to two seconds of battle against the Jailer. Only Dragonflight is shown a bit longer afterwards.
Clearly – Blizzard wants to capitalize on nostalgia here, and it seems to be succeeding with the video.
This is how the community reacts: The reactions under the video on YouTube are positive. Most enjoy the nostalgia and are happy to be part of this journey, which has lasted for many for 20 years – and hopefully has no end in sight. Some of the comments:
“The moment when Tirion Fordring is smashed with the Ashbringer will always be epic for me.” – Sebalarios
“There is no place as beautiful as home. Here’s to another 20 years.” – rowrowfightthepower9
“So this is what it feels like when life flashes before your eyes.” – l47l
“I am so proud to have been part of this great story. Thank you, Blizzard.” – SwineeTTV
What is special about it? When the YouTube channel of World of Warcraft uploads new videos, there are usually many discussions in the comments. The distribution of “thumbs up” and “thumbs down” is often mixed. However, this video is different; it seems to be very well received by almost everyone. At the current time, there are about 14,000 upvotes and only around 200 downvotes – so just over 1%.
Clearly, Blizzard wants to ride this wave of nostalgia for a while longer; after all, they are currently celebrating not only the 20th anniversary of World of Warcraft but also the 30th anniversary of the entire Warcraft franchise. New information will be available tomorrow, as the Warcraft Direct takes place then and promises some “special” announcements.

Overwatch 2 turns back time and restores the original game – at least for a few days.
The story around Overwatch 2 is getting stranger – even if many can hardly imagine it. The once-popular game from Blizzard is now taking a step back and giving the fans exactly what they want: Overwatch Classic.
Start video
Overwatch 2 Brings Overwatch Classic – as if Part 2 Never Existed
What’s going on with Overwatch 2? Overwatch 2 has faced criticism since its release. Not only has the completely canceled PvE mode never appeared, but many are also struggling with the new “5vs5” format. Especially tanks are dissatisfied, as they bear a special burden – so much so that many have completely lost the fun of it.
What kind of mode is coming now? Today, the game mode “Overwatch Classic” launches in Overwatch 2 and aims to provide – as the name suggests – the classic Overwatch experience. This means that only the original heroes from Overwatch 1 will be playable in a “6vs6 format”. Those who wish can therefore go into battle with 2 tanks. Alternatively, you can also revive the “good old days” and head into battle with 6 Torbjörns, who together with their turrets will create plenty of chaos.
The mode will be active for 3 weeks, until early December.
Community amused: From the outside, it looks rather funny, if not absurd. Our colleague Maurice Weber from GameStar also thinks so, who wrote on X:
Many, however, are pleased with the announcement. Reviving the old Overwatch is seen as a good thing. Unfortunately, it is only a temporary mode.
Is this really bad? Of course, it is quite ironic that Blizzard is now essentially bringing Overwatch 1 into Overwatch 2. However, this is exactly what a large part of the community has demanded.
Whether the mode is good enough to eventually become a permanent game mode or even entirely replace the “new” system of Overwatch 2 remains to be seen. So far, it seems to be a step in the right direction – even if that direction is the past. Originally, Overwatch was supposed to be Titan – and that led to many problems.

Although a character appears in the anime of One Piece in over 80 episodes, he is mostly seen in the background. By now, the character has become a running gag, appearing even in some movies and intros.
What kind of character is he? In One Piece, there is often a character who has a human body and a panda head. This is Pandaman. Although Pandaman has not uttered a single word, he has a backstory.
Pandaman is a wrestler. He is often beaten up by others because he claims to have seen Princess Kaguya. Therefore, he wants to become a villain. The character was born in Tibet and abandoned as a baby in a bamboo grove. He was raised there by living pandas.
So, where can Pandaman be seen?
Pandaman has not paid his debts to another side character named Tomato Gang, which is why he is constantly being chased by him. To collect the debts, Tomato Gang hired the character Unforgivable Mask, a rival of Pandaman. The panda man also has a female counterpart named Pandawomanmi, whom he loves.
Pandaman even has an astonishing bounty of 3,333,333 Berry. This is probably because he has debts to Tomato Gang. Unfortunately, his story is not told in the anime but rather by the author himself in Q&A sessions with fans.
Pandaman even appears in the latest One Piece movie:
Start video
One Piece Film: Red – The Official Trailer for the Anime Film in English
Pandaman is frequently seen, but only for a short time
Where does he appear? Pandaman has several appearances, not only in the anime.
In the manga, he appears at least once in every volume starting from volume 5.
In the anime, he is seen in over 80 episodes.
Pandaman also appears in 2 intros.
Even in the live-action adaptation, he is seen once as a bush and once in the book Noland.
Additionally, there are more spin-offs and video games in which he is featured. Presumably, Pandaman will continue to be a fixed part of One Piece in the future. However, it is questionable whether he will intervene in the story by the grand finale.
The roadmap of Throne and Liberty shows that the Tier 2 dungeons will not be long in coming. MeinMMO reveals what is currently known and how you can prepare for it.
When will the Tier 2 dungeons be released? According to the roadmap of Throne and Liberty, the Tier 2 dungeons are expected to be introduced in November. While the exact date has not yet been established, it will likely depend on the players’ progress.
However, the two-star coop dungeons will differ from the Korean version. MeinMMO reveals what is currently known and how else you can prepare for the new T2 dungeons.

What kind of rewards are there? In the Korean version of the game, there were Tier 2 equipment as rewards in these dungeons. However, it was announced in the roadmap via playthroneandliberty.com that we will not receive this Tier 2 equipment in the European two-star coop dungeons.
A Reddit user has published the loot pool of the Korean Tier 2 dungeons, and it shows that besides the Tier 2 equipment, there are other valuable items available. Although we probably will not receive the Tier 2 equipment, some of the other items seen in the screenshot could also be available in our version:

What rewards are there in Korea? In Korea, apart from the T2 equipment – which we will initially not receive – there are other equipment pieces in the boss chest that we could only obtain from world bosses until now. This prospect would be particularly positive for tanks and healers. Since Throne and Liberty published the loot distribution rules, many players have fled, as damage dealers are strongly favored.
The higher your contribution to a world boss, the better the chances for loot. This was particularly unpopular with tanks, as they cannot shine through high damage or healing. Their strengths lie in another area. But the MMORPG could counter this with the new two-star coop dungeons.
After completing a T2 dungeon in Korea, the boss chest can be opened with 450 Dimension Contract Marks. Screenshots on Reddit.com show that you not only receive equipment from world bosses but also rare equipment items that are usually dropped only by the arch bosses Queen Bellandir and Tevent – and these only appear once a week. However, weapons are not included, only armor pieces.
Since there is still no official information about the content of the T2 dungeons, it remains speculation which rewards await us in the chests.
Who can participate? The screenshots also reveal that the T2 dungeons in Korea require a combat power of 2,500 points to even enter the dungeon. This suggests that the new bosses in the instance will be difficult to defeat and probably have several mechanics and attack patterns.
A user on Reddit.com shared his concerns about the difficulty level of the T2 dungeons with the community and suspects that special builds will be needed to face the new dungeons.
But it is also uncertain whether the bosses will exhibit the same mechanics as their Korean counterparts.
Preparation for the T2 dungeons
What can I do to prepare? Even though much is still uncertain, you can still prepare for the upcoming dungeons. MeinMMO reveals how:
Save Dimension Contract Marks to maximize the number of runs when the dungeons appear
Increase your combat power to the expected minimum requirements of 2,500
Get an impression of the T2 dungeon bosses from the Korean version
Level up to level 50 if you haven’t done so yet
After that, you should be prepared for the new two-star coop dungeons. If there are new updates, we will update this article.

In Pokémon TCG Pocket you can open free booster packs every day. A YouTuber shows what it looks like when you spend over €200 on new packs in his video.
Besides battling against other players and the CPU, collecting the cards is also a major aspect of Pokémon TCG Pocket. In addition to the 2 free boosters per day, you also have the option to purchase more booster packs for real money.
A YouTuber has done this and shows in his video the yield he received from it. Additionally, he reaches a clear conclusion on whether this endeavor is worth it for you.
You can watch the trailer for the game here:
Start video
Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket: The Trailer for the Mobile Game
A lot of money for many cards
What was his intention? As the YouTuber LEOsMIND explains at the beginning of his video, he wanted to spend the maximum amount of money possible in one day in the game. He simply wanted to treat himself to “something silly that is pointless and doesn’t make any sense”.
Within the video, he purchased the largest gold bundle twice, which is available for real money. Currently, this gives you 500 gold plus a bonus of 190 gold for the equivalent of €99.99. Later, he bought a smaller bundle, bringing his total spending to just over €200.
Since the amount of gold that can be used for new boosters per day is limited to 720 gold, it took him 2 days to convert the purchased gold into boosters. As the YouTuber mentions in the video, interestingly, there is a daily limit on spending gold but none for acquiring it.
We will embed the YouTuber’s video here for you:

What is his yield? The YouTuber opened a total of 299 booster packs, which includes not only the paid ones but also those from the tutorial and the premium pass. As a result, he reached level 22 and collected a total of 1,539 cards.
He managed to obtain 196/226 cards from the first, currently still only available, booster series. Among them were 31 star cards, which have a higher rarity. He was unable to obtain the secret Mew card as he could not collect all the necessary cards.
Furthermore, he pulled 2 so-called God packs, where all the included cards are rare. The chance of receiving a God pack from a booster is 0.05%.
The rare, immersive variant of Mewtwo-Ex was unfortunately not among them. Since he really wanted this card and only lacked pack points at the end to obtain the card directly, he opened a few more packs at the end, earned the necessary points, and got this card directly.
What is his conclusion? The YouTuber clearly advises against trying to replicate his endeavor. Even though he enjoyed opening several boosters in succession at first, the number of duplicates he received this way is frustrating.
He also emphasizes that the more than €200 he spent for this video is a lot of money, with which you can also buy more sensible things. Additionally, he recoups some of the money through YouTube earnings.
Even though the number of cards with additional boosters is higher, giving you a greater chance of encountering good cards, the game, according to his statement, is not Pay2Win, but “Pay2Flex”. After all, there is also a version of the rarest cards that has a higher drop chance.
Whether you use this normal or the rare variant makes no difference for the battles themselves since the cards possess identical values and abilities.
If you are also playing the game but are more interested in the fighting aspect, you should definitely know which decks give you the best chances of winning. MeinMMO has put together the appropriate tier list of the best decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket for you.

The charity event Charity Royale is organized every year by the Austrian Twitch streamers Rafael “VeniCraft” Eisler and willhaben. This year, the fundraising goal was already reached after nine days during the stream by Heiko “CastCrafter” Husch, thus breaking the donation record of Papaplatte.
What is Charity Royale? For six years now, the Charity Royale has taken place every year, organized by the Austrian Twitch streamers VeniCraft and willhaben. It is a month-long streaming event where every Twitch streamer streams for one day on their own channel.
Donations are made to the Austrian Make-A-Wish Foundation. A foundation that enables terminally ill children aged 3 to 18 to express their heartfelt wishes, for which donation money is collected for their fulfillment.
The Twitch streamer Papaplatte is also participating in the charity event. In the video, we summarize part of his journey:

This is how challenges for Papaplatte became a livelihood
After nine days, the fundraising goal has been reached
How was the fundraising goal reached? During the stream by CastCrafter, the event’s fundraising goal of 150,000 Euros was achieved. His community managed to surpass the incredible amount of 82,281.76 €. The success brought the streamer to tears, and he thanked his community multiple times.
Thus, he broke the record of Twitch streamer Papaplatte from the previous year. Papaplatte was able to reach a sum of around 70,000 € in the previous year with his community during his stream. You can see the moment in this VOD on Twitch.
Which streamers are participating? Both large and small Twitch streamers can participate in the event. On the event’s website, streamers can apply and thus contribute as well.
The “main streamers”, that is, big names in the Twitch industry, stream simultaneously with smaller streamers. The community then donates directly to the streamer, who forwards their sum to the event.
These big streamers will still stream:
November 11:stev0rr
November 12: krokoboss
November 13:MrsXeniaTV
November 17: mahluna
November 19: LetsHugoTV
November 20: nooreax
November 21: V1nKub
November 22: starletnova
November 23: Dhalucard
November 24: Veyla
November 25: Sintica
November 26: Papaplatte
Papaplatte will stream on November 26, perhaps he can surpass the record of CastCrafter.
What happens next? After the first fundraising goal has already been reached, the new goal has now been set at 250,000 Euros. However, around 228,000 Euros have already been collected, which is 90.83% of the goal.
So, it is not unlikely that this fundraising goal will also need to be replaced by a new one soon. One thing is certain: Several records have already been broken within the event this year.
