There is no doubt that League of Legends is the most popular MOBA game in the world these years. From the year 2009 LoL was originally released by Riot as a test server, it has already  accompanied us for 10 years(8 seasons).

As a senior player, I have deep affection However, it is very necessary to produce a champion with her as she offered me 4 years’ happy hour spending in the Summoner’s  Rift with my ally without worries. Additionally, China’s Invictus Gaming beat out Europe’s Fnatic in a 3-0 sweep to take home the Champion’s Cup at the 2018 League of Legends World Championship, handing in a satisfying and honorable answer sheet of s8.  And now, in the beginning of s9, LoL has its new look, and we also have a new climb.

When the familiar background music sounded,  kinds of tense one-on-one, do-or-die battles happen in every LoL match, but the adrenaline in these moments makes each of them memorable. LoL is a lens that amplifies every emotion on the spectrum.

Every match is about 20-50 minutes. Each player starts with nothing but command of a single gear and one basic skill. They’re split into two opposing teams of five and let loose against each other over a top-down battlefield. The team that wins is the team that cooperate well and better leverages its units’ particular strengths.

There is a new champion called Neeko exposed this month who seems to be  a cute girl but the skills of whom seems hard to master. In my eyes, she is a little similar with the last ap champion Zoe, an assassin champion makes many traditional ap champions feel ill. However, it is very necessary to produce a champion that could fight with Yasuo and Zed.

Here, I hope all the passionate summoners could have a better rank and a better state of mind toward LoL. And out of my selfishness, I wish TEAM WE and my favorite professional player WE. Mystic to have better achievement in s9.

PUBG Review: A Refreshing Game Concept

Although the game is aesthetically bland and prone to technical bugs, compared to its predecessors such as H1Z1 and OW- PUBG has a refreshing game concept: 100 players parachute onto an island. The last one alive wins.

PUBG (PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS)is a popular online survival game during the year 2017.  As a player of little FPS/TPS ability, I have never thought that I could enjoy this game before.  Taking my poor game record in CS: GO and Overwatch as an example, I almost have no game experience in such classic shooting works.

I bought PUBG in the beginning  of 2017 because of the heat of the live streaming, but quickly I found it desperate since it was too hard for me to win a game, so I chose to refund. In the November of 2017, I repurchased it due to the overwhelmingly popularity of the game, and finally I gradually found self-confidence and enjoy the battle. 

PUBG is by no means a simple TPS game. Although the game is aesthetically bland and prone to technical bugs, compared to its predecessors such as H1Z1 and OW- PUBG has a refreshing game concept: 100 players parachute onto an island. The last one alive wins

For me, the attraction of this game lies in its innovative mode and the introduction of big picture of the world. Unlike CS: GO that is always in a narrow map, and OW which is too gorgeous and confusing, PUBG has high level of freedom and rich strategic tactics for players to think and choose.

But what equipment players find in the game, PUBG creates a reliable and reasonable space for them to take risks, and adds some unpredictable elements to it. It’s not legendary to use only one pistol to solve a full assault rifle opponent, because sophisticated equipment is only half of the winning factor – the other half is the wisdom of the player.

I might have a crazy shooting accuracy-out in the jungle, or a deadly chase in an island town. I may hide on the cornice, always pay attention to the wind and grass around me, and hold the gun firmly in my hands. The sound of the game makes me get the sneaking sensation and reminds me of enemies nearby.

It’s the game that forces me to concentrate and adopt more strategies, not the brutal way of playing like CS: GO. For a time, high-level players began to memorize the direction in which cars would be parked by default, so they could tell an untouched vehicle from a honeypot. The more you play, the more you learn how to speak Battlegrounds.

Before my afk, my best rank  is 307761 in Asia service area. It is not a top rating, but sincerely represents the time I spent on PUBG and the joy I received from it.

Artifact is a new, digital card game from legendary game designers Richard Garfield and Valve . It integrates deep strategic arrangements and confrontational game experience with the background of Dota2. I have been a Dota2  and other card games (eg. Hearthstone) player before, so I have a strong interest in this game.

This unique card game makes use of its digital freedoms by filling it with lively animations and effects for each card played, which is the point that makes me immerse in it. They will laugh at an opponent’s tower falling, but tremble when the ancient is in danger. Really cute, right?

Every card game has its unique rules, Artifact is no exception, and its playing method is very special. The battles between the two players are not limited to just one scene. Similar to Dota2, The board is divvied up into three lanes, each with its own pool of mana to spend on cards and a tower. A singular hand carries across all three lanes, and the goal is to either destroy two towers or the opponent’s ancient.

Artifact has different game modes. In the construction mode, I could form a set of cards according to my own understanding. I can use my deck to compete with other players and adjust my deck from a lot of battles to make it more perfect. 

However, in the draft mode, which is the highlight of Artifact in my eyes, I can select two cards from the given card sets, and then “pass.” Once five packs have gone through the artificial rotation, I build a deck from the heroes and cards you’ve drafted and play other drafters, until you hit five wins or two losses. According to the result of the battle, the game will reward me.

Overall, Artifact’s interface is simple and the animation and effects are cool; the rules and modes have something original and creative; since there’s so much information to display and so many things happening all at once, the board state isn’t as perceptible at a glance like other games. Thus it is an extremely difficult game for a beginner, and I need to spend more time and energy in it to escape from struggling.

FIFA 19 Review: The Best Gets Better

This is the best FIFA ever, but this does tend to be the case every year. But the addition of China Super League and improved gameplay mean the changes are tangible.

FIFA 19 is one of the online/video games that I am interested in. It is a football game produced by EA. In the game, I can experience top football matches such as league, cup and Champions League.

The most attractive part of FIFA 19 compared to FIFA 18 is the introduction of the China Super League. Although Chinese football itself is not competitive in the world, the addition of China Super League is enough to make me feel excited. From the jersey to the athletes of CSL are all original and familiar. To my regret, the domestic football stadiums have not been included in the game.

Operating my gamepad and pressing the buttons rhythmically, I can manipulate football stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, which really makes me crazy. When I win a fierce match, I  feel that I am over the moon and have won a football match at the official stadium by myself.

I can not only play against AI opponents, but also other players through the Internet. To my surprise, I can even control a team with some of my friends. To manage a team with friends requires more coordination and patience than myself, and thus I strengthen the bonds with my friends.

FIFA 19 is by no means a simple game but calls for professional reaction and tactics. As is the same with a football match in reality, short pass, long pass, cross, direct plug and shooting are not easy to achieve. Although in-game mechanics are a slight tweak to FIFA 18, and round passes fizz quicker and more satisfyingly, crosses look and feel better and we scored a lot of headers, it’s not the case that FIFA 19 is easier, but it certainly flows better, with AI teammates making clever runs to get into better positions.

I am not expert in playing FIFA 19, but I am a football person and really enjoy it. In my leisure time, I would try my best to play the game to a professional level.

Overall, this is the best FIFA ever, but this does tend to be the case every year. But the addition of China Super League and improved gameplay mean the changes are tangible. 

Being able to do what I’d love to do in limited time is really a comforting thing. I could direct fierce football matches and feel that atmosphere. So guys who are also a fan of FIFA 19 please contact with me without hesitation!
