One solution is the one that Overwatch implemented, which allows players to endorse other players at the end of each game. In that game, endorsements only reflect positive attributes, such as Sportsmanship, Good Teammate and Shot Cal
As a non-pro player, I’ll always make mistakes. I’ll try to revive a teammate when I should be fighting, and I’ll miss shots that I know aren’t difficult for good players. But I’ve put around 1500 hours into Apex Legends , and yet I can’t recall a time I’ve ever become vocally frustrated with a teammate without obvious provocation. Those I play with will also sometimes run out ahead just to get downed or will push fights they have no chance of winning, but I trust they are doing their best and aim to support them as teammates no matter their choi
Respawn Entertainment has done a good job of keeping the game interesting and even added to a brand new legend named Loba. With all of the recent changes, players are wondering which legends they should use in Seaso
A contrarian might suggest these companies are pushing out updates amid a pandemic strictly for the profits. That person might suggest developers are working because they’re afraid to lose their jobs in an uncertain climate. But if those concerns were the only thing driving these development teams, then what would stop the company executives from simply turning to bolder emphasis on microtransactions? Whether you love or hate these in-game monetization options, it's indisputable that microtransactions are sure-fire ways to get people to continue to spend money on ga
The Evolved Flow skin for the Peacekeeper is appealing in a very unappealing way. As a skin, it's a little messy and chaotic, but for some reason, it works on the Peacekeeper. This is likely due to the shape of the shotgun and helps the design feel more like a gradient and less like a mashing of two separate desi
If you wouldn't have shown people near the game's release that Gibraltar would become a top-tier legend in the game they would have likely laughed at you. He was once considered unplayable as his sluggish movement speed and giant hitbox made him almost impossible to win w
The lack of servers creates a vicious cycle. Publishers don't have African servers because they think there aren't enough players, but without servers, how is the player base expected to grow? The impact of this policy has had a truly detrimental effect on the African gaming community. Many games have "World" Cups or "World" Championships, and it's evident that Africa isn't part of their "World." No matter how good African players are, there's no way of getting involved in many of the sanctioned leagues without moving to another contin
It’s easy to forget that the people making and supporting your favorite summer games are going through abrupt changes in their own lives, yet they continue to deliver new content to keep players enga
The master of the hunt, Bloodhound, has been seeing a slow and steady set of buffs that have slowly made the hunter better and better with every passing season. Battle royale games place a heavy emphasis on information gathering and Bloodhound is one of the few legends who makes that part of the game an active part of their abilit
Big names in gaming like Apex Legends Competitor Legends , FIFA , Fortnite , League of Legends , Valorant , Rainbow Six Siege , and more have a worldwide following with servers everywhere except Africa. As an African gamer, I find it insulting and hypocritical that these companies force us to read Black Lives Matter messages every time we start a game, yet most black people aren't allowed to get the best experience from
Apex Legends has a whopping 46 servers scattered in 18 places around the world. When broken down by location, North America has 17, South America has five, Western Europe has seven, East Asia has nine, South East Asia has three, Asia Pacific has five, and Africa has a big fat zero. This is how EA is working to fight injustice and discriminat
If this list was simply about ranking the names of all of the Season 5 weapon skins, you'd be hard-pressed to find one better than the Bad Mojo skin for the Spitfire. The Spitfire is a large and powerful light-machine gun that was once highly coveted but has recently fallen off due to players preferring other weapons in its weapon cl
Recently, I was matched with someone whose name was a play on the coronavirus. Perhaps merely evidence of a juvenile sense of humor, it hits different when 23,000 people in your city have died of the vi
Earlier the sister-skin to Attention To Detail, titled Precision Caliber was discussed, and it featured a design that was much more flashy. For Attention To Detail, it's a skin for the Wingman that focuses on looking a bit more practical, but still being flashy enough to be coveted by players. It's a reward players receive for reaching the maximum level of the Season 5 battle pass which is neat. The only bummer is that the Wingman currently isn't a top tier weapon in the ongoing meta of the g
