Akshan, the Rogue Sentinel, is League of Legends’ newest champion. The third champ released in 2021 provides an interesting take on the marksman class. Instead of being designed with primary use in the bottom lane made in mind, Akshan was built for success in the solo lanes due to the way his kit is more ability focused and how his attack speed scales. Akshan’s play patterns align with a mobile skirmisher who can use the map to his advantage thanks to his grappling hook.

Despite not having a playable counterpart in League of Legends or being a part of the previously standing lore, Silco has become one of the most memorable characters from Arcane. Riot Games’ animated series sent shock waves around the world, becoming one of the most-viewed shows in countless countries. Jason Spisak gave his insights into the motivations and relationships of the Zaunite industrialist in an interview with Upcomer, going into detail about the character’s gray areas—from the near paternalistic treatment with Jinx to his less-than-legal dealings in Zaun.

At the end of each year, Spotify Wrapped consumes the users of the music streaming app by showing off the user’s listening statistics from the past 12 months. And now, the idea has extended to other communities as well. In this case, one Reddit user, called Mythicize, created a somewhat similar program that uses various databases to show players some of their Dota 2 stats and hero breakdowns from 2019. 

Destiny 2‘s The Witch Queen expansion brought with it an overhaul of the Void subclasses, completely changing how players build their characters and adding a series of other tools to guardians’ arsenals. The system is inspired by Stasis, which launched in Beyond Light and lets players customize their classes with Fragments and Aspects. See Destiny 2 on Amazon To get Stasis Fragments, players have to go to Elsie Bray and pick up a limited amount of Fragments per week.

Get ready for more witches, ghastly fishes, and pumpkin-headed felines in your solo queue games, summoners. Riot Games has unveiled the newest additions to League of Legends’ Bewitching cosmetic line with Fiora, Nami, Poppy, Syndra, and Yuumi all getting the spooky skin treatment. See League of Legends on Amazon Morgana already has a Bewitching skin, but any players who frequent the Fallen Angel will be glad to know that she’ll be going golden as a Prestige Edition skin this time around.

A VALORANT player encountered a strange glitch that prevents players from using any of Jett’s abilities if they dash immediately after using her ultimate’s right-click.  See Valorant on Amazon Jett’s Blade Storm ability is arguably one of the best ultimates in VALORANT. A talented player can kill an entire team with her knives or secure a couple of picks at the very least. Jett’s other abilities allow her to outmaneuver opponents with ease, although a new bug is punishing players for dashing after using her ultimate’s right-click.

TSM’s Matthew “Wardell” Bowman Yu has come out of the gates swinging and made a name for himself in VALORANT. The former Counter-Strike player saw varying degrees of success with North American organizations Rogue and Ghost Gaming but after years of competing, he never truly made it to the top tier of play. When it comes to VALORANT, though, Wardell is on another level. The Canadian-born Jett main has won tournament after tournament, carrying TSM.

It’s almost time for League of Legends players to say goodbye to Twisted Treeline, both the map and the three-vs-three game mode. Twisted Treeline has been around for 10 years, but it hasn’t received enough love that makes it worth keeping it in League’s official map rotation. Twisted Treeline has been stale for a while. There were barely any patches, balances, and updates over the past few years. A smaller number of players that were actively playing three-vs-three matches have been vocal about it for a while, but the vast majority of League players simply didn’t care.

On March 18, esports organization OTK hosted a $10,000 League of Legends tournament featuring eight teams consisting entirely of streamers. Team Buddha, which featured Buddha, xQc, Sykkuno, Harry, and Blaustoise, ultimately beat out their competition and won the first ever OTK Rift event. Each of the eight teams had one player designated as team leader, also acting as the namesake for their respective squad. The eight teams competing at OTK Rift included Team Buddha, Team Sodapoppin, Team Esfand, Team Tectone, Team Erobb, Team QTCinderella, Team Mizkif, and Team Critikal.

Vehicles are an essential part of Fortnite. Though you can land anywhere on the map right after leaving spawn island, it’ll take some effort to move around the map when the zone starts shrinking. While you’ll find plenty of cars around the map, using the roads may not always be safe. Players on the ground will have a clear sight of you as you cruise through landmarks. But that won’t be the case if you’re using a Choppa.
