One quick correction: Junkrat doesn’t jump inside of the tire. He’s left standing outside of it. As such, while you’re piloting it around, someone may find him (in a trance-like state, a la Link in Wind Waker when he’s controlling a statue) and shoot him. Read more

I’m starting to get a little worried. I don’t play multiplayer shooters, I only play ones with deep story lines. It occurred to me recently that all the shooter money is in the multiplayer portion of games and that the single player campaign actually holds back the multiplayer experience both from funds allocation and… Read more

ALSO: If anyone is in the beta and interested in playing, I’m very interested in playing with teammates! Send me an email at Yannick.LeJacq@kotaku.com and we can set something up. Read more

As someone who dislikes MOBAs(before they became a genre since I saw the kind of community the original DoTA attracted), I was strangely impressed and have enjoyed Overwatch.

I’ll just leave this here ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Also, the amount of destructible and items with their own physics is crazy awesome looking. PC Gamer put together some great gifs of blowing up random things in the environment over here. I’d put some here, but Kinja doesn’t seem to like them very much... Read more

I am really, really excited for this. I am pretty entrenched in Dota 2, but if I would have gotten Beta access for this, I am sure it would be ruling my life. It looks like Dota 2 crossed with TF2 crossed with that signature Blizzard charm.

The thing about SKTT1 is that in their starting line up, their Top, Mid, and Jungler are all Carry players by nature to some extent. Although Faker is the most aggressive player of the line-up, one of their strategies involves Marin and Bengi trying to carry the game themselves if Faker is unable to do so for any… Read more

Hubris, and they probably were right to try. Read more

To be clear, was that the championship game that would have sealed an undefeated tournament run? Chokeville. Read more
