Toxicity is an unfortunate part of the community because nobody wants to take responsibility for losing a game. It's easy to get caught up in the outrage and then get banned for a lengthy period of time after an outbur

Unfortunately, since the matchmaking system was flawed, new players would routinely end up in games where their teammates or enemies would have thousands of games worth of experience over them. With no designated matchmaking pool for beginners, they would soon become frustrated at the skill gap and quit the game. Another problem was smurfing in the matchmaking system, where more skilled players would create alternate accounts with the intention of playing against lower skilled players.

Valve also finally addressed the smurfing problem in Dota 2 by officially making it a bannable offense .

That shouldn't be the case, right? There should be no better time to be a gamer from a low income household. My sister has been able to play so much more than me due to the rise of the free-to-play model, with hits of all types like Fortnite , Apex Legends and Rocket League . Most of us would have killed to have access to so many titles and continuously receive updates, rather than have to wait for Christmas and birthdays (if we were lucky) to get a new game to play t

Perhaps the character's most iconic skill , "Judgement," which sees him spinning with his sword and moving rapidly, is put into an equally comedic and deadly light by the size of the blade as represented in this cosplay.
