On one hand, being able to explain the finicky mythology of Hawkgirl and Hawkman in a single scene is an impressive feat. And thanks to Hentschel's matter-of-fact delivery, viewers will either be on board with the story of reincarnation and endless battle or not. But the consequences of leveraging so much of the episode's story on new characters is apparent once the credits roll: the presence of Green Arrow is almost an afterthought. There's a cocktail party scene and some exposition offered by Ra's al Ghul, but with the crossover setting up such monumental action and mythology, its own importance pales in compari

The CW's Crisis on Earth-X crossover event – featuring Arrow ** , Supergirl ** , The Flash ** and Legends of Tomorrow ** – was a better team-up than Warner Bros. and DC Films' **Justice League ** . Ever since The CW expanded its comic book TV universe to include The Flash , a spinoff from the network's flagship DC series Arrow , they've aired annual crossover events. While the first year only featured a team-up between the Green Arrow and the Flash, these events have grown exponentially to include heroes from Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow . This year's crossover event, Crisis on Earth-X, was the biggest yet to air on The CW with the heroes facing off against Nazi versions of themselves from an alternate unive

Tempo Storm has proven that they are one of the top teams by getting 1st during Phase 1 of the NA Pro League. However, they fell short during the Western Clash - Phase 1 and HGC Mid-Season Brawl by placing in 3rd and 4th, www.mobanewshub.com noted respectively. They definitely have the potential to win: with the addition of ViN in the lineup, maybe they can turn that aro

Any Dota 2 player might remember the feeling of seeing League 's champion roster and saying, "Wait, I know these heroes..." Sure, both games will obviously draw from the original source material in Warcraft III . And with similar fantasy elements, there's bound to be a magic archer, a knight, and a barbarian. There will be a fishperson and a dragon. Yet despite this, Dota 2 players are even recognizing similar skills that are being rehashed into League champions. Well, it's hard to deny some of the uncanny similarities, but League never claimed to be origi

Both games are rife with a myriad of ways of griefing teammates, and it is done so regularly. The two games do attempt to dampen the spread of remarks that are too homophobic or racist (with penalties like being placed into lower priority queue). When thoroughly miffed, many players resort to 'feeding,' the act of dying to the enemy team on purpose to give them gold. To win games, some players even resort to 'swatting,' the act of making up a violent crime in order to goad a SWAT team to the streamer's h

As you likely have already guessed, _ HotS _ doesn’t have this problem because there’s no gold (at least, not in a match - there is gold to buy heroes, but that’s done in menus). You don’t even need to be the agent of destruction in order to ensure your team keeps accruing experience. In fact, certain heroes specialize in this behaviour, which is super weird. More on that la

Building off this simple framework is where Legend of Solgard begins to subvert the expectations of a mobile game. Underneath its cheery veneer of an easy-going match-three puzzle game lies a rigidly tough turn-based strategy game; a game where players continuously have to be aware of their surroundings and consider their next move. Throughout the beginning of the game's campaign, Legend of Solgard consistently introduces new enemies, each with their own different special abilities. For example, as you progress through the beginning of the game's campaign, you start to encounter enemies that buff those around them and others that will replicate themselves if not killed in a certain time per

Certainly, at the end of the day, movie and TV viewers can - and should - like what they like. In terms of which event, either Justice League or Crisis on Earth-X, was more successful in achieving what they set out to do, however, the Arrowverse crossover clearly pulls ahead. It's much more consistent in tone than Justice League , a surprising feat given it unites four different TV shows, and ups The CW's superhero game, improving upon crossovers that came before it. All in all, Crisis on Earth-X is a better, more cohesive team-up event than Justice Leag

_ Heroes of the Storm _ , on the other hand, is managed by Blizzard, who take player experience very seriously. Not only is there a swear filter and a 'report player' feature that can get a player banned for such infractions as griefing, but in _ HotS, _ each team doesn’t even have the option to speak to their opposite in competitive matches. It’s hard to spew toxic vitriol when you can’t get through to the enemy t

Both games certainly have mechanics baked in that allow for one team to come back from a stomping, but how they do it differs. Whereas _ HotS _ has a system that exponentially provides less experience the further down the opposing team is in terms of levels (until even hero kills are worth less experience than killing a mere minion), _ LoL _ has a cap at 20% experience for each champion kill achie
