Demon Hunters in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands had a rough start to the expansion. But after multiple buffs, they’ve found themselves in a decent spot in both player-versus-player (PvP) and player-versus-environment (PvE) due to their damage and utility. While players mostly prefer to pick up ranged DPS for dungeons or raids due to multiple mechanics that punish melees, you can still find spots for groups easily if you’re building properly.

The Sten SMG has found its way into another Call of Duty title, this time as part of the Warzone Pacific update. The side-loaded submachine gun was a mainstay during real-life combat during World War II. It was manufactured and used mainly by British forces during the war and has since gone on to find infamy in several WWII games that have been made since. Vanguard is no different. And now, the Sten can be used in Warzone, too.

With every passing spoiler season in Magic: The Gathering, it’s not often a card sparks a philosophical conversation on what “good” art is. But that wasn’t the case for Carly Mazur and her first commission for Wizards of the Coast. Her alternate art designs for Faithless Looting and Harmonize ended up being the predominant conversation for a week during the Strixhaven: School of Mages spoiler season, outshining many new and exciting cards from the latest set.

The release of WoW TBC Classic made it so both the Horde and Alliance have access to Shamans and Paladin.  During Classic, each class’s healing specialization was powerful, but only being available to one faction made it difficult to compare the two. Now with Blood Elves bringing Paladins to the Horde and Draenei bringing Shamans to the Alliance, a whole new world of compositions are available. For healers, this will mean more diversification as Alliance raids look to bring in numerous Restoration Shamans and Horde groups look to grab one or two Holy Paladins.

Like any collectible card game, Magic: The Gathering has a number of different deck archetypes that define the metagame. In any competitive format, developer Wizards of the Coast works hard to find balance with different kinds of decks keeping each other in check. Here’s everything you need to know about the archetypes of Magic. Archetype concepts Before getting into the archetypes themselves, it’s important to understand concepts around how they’re designed and balanced.

Building your own gaming rig will always give you the maximum possible performance. But there’s one thing that PCs can’t genuinely deliver: portability. Even if you build the most small-form-factor PC in the world, you’ll still need a monitor, peripherals, and a power outlet near you to get things going. Though high-tier laptops that rival the performance of state-of-the-art desktop PCs exist, they tend to cost a fortune. If you have a gaming PC or console waiting for you at home or simply don’t have the budget to splurge for a portable gaming machine that’s too heavy to carry around comfortably, cheap gaming laptops can be the solution to all of your problems.

Structure decks in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links allow players to use ready-to-play decks with various tribes to learn the game easier while still being competitive. If you want a good start to the game without being overwhelmed by all the cards, Structure decks are your starting point. With these decks, you’ll have a good foundation and a general idea of your win condition, which you can later upgrade as you learn the ropes of the game.

The Teamfight Tactics item Tome of Traits will get a rework with a slight nerf in Patch 12.3, according to game design director Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer. Scheduled to take place within TFT Patch 12.3 on Feb. 2, Tome of Traits will have a clear rules chart indicating the number of tailored traits a player will get to choose from upon cracking open the item. The rework “is intended to be clearer to players, but also a slight nerf,” according to Mortdog.

Though many aspects can make or break a top Fortnite player, like aiming and building, luck also plays a massive factor in the popular battle royale. The chances of you taking down a player with a golden tactical shotgun using a gray submachine gun will nearly always be lower than they would be the other way around. Playing safe is one of the best pieces of advice that new Fortnite players receive.

Despite TFT patch 11.13 making relatively minor adjustments to the balance of traits and champions, the meta became quite restrictive, seeing major vertical synergies like Redeemed and Dawnbringer continue to dominate in ranked games of all skill levels. The biggest changes this patch came in the form of buffs for Skirmishers and Rangers which now allows for these comps to be played in the meta. They still fall second fiddle to the Redeemed and Dawnbringer comps in most situations, however.
