League of Legends’ Latest Patch: Honoring Profits Over Players?

The Honor System Revamp: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing? Hey there, Summoners! Buckle up, because Riot Games just dropped the notes for Patch 25.04, and it's stirring the pot in the League of Legends community. This time, the spotlight's on the Honor system revamp—a change that seems less about fostering good vibes and more about squeezing players dry, yet again. Let's dive into the nitty-gritty of this update and see how it fits into Riot's ongoing trend of prioritizing profits over player satisfaction. From Steady Progression to Dynamic Evaluation Previously, your Honor level in League was a steady climb over the season—play nice, don't get penalized, and you'd reap the rewards. A simple carrot and the stick type of motivation. Now, Riot's introducing a "dynamic evaluation" system that updates based on your recent behavior. Sounds fancy, right? But here's the kicker: this change […]

The Gamergate Media Echo Chamber: Following the Money

Too Many Coincidences Gaming media feels like an echo chamber. Same talking points. Same narratives. Same forced "hot takes" that just so happen to align with a particular agenda. But why? After following the money, it turns out the industry is way more interconnected than you'd think. Strap in—we're about to take a look behind the curtain and meet the wizard. Meet the Gaming Media's Main Characters Great Hill Partners In 2019, Great Hill Partners established G/O Media after purchasing the Gizmodo Media Group and The Onion from Univision Communications Inc. That purchase included several outlets, such as Deadspin, The Onion, Gizmodo, and Kotaku. Fast forward to today—Kotaku is surprisingly the last one still standing, though barely, considering the mass layoffs it has endured recently. But here’s where it gets interesting: In 2021, Blackstone GP Stakes (yes, that Blackstone) bought […]

5 Tips to Counter Dive Comps as Support in Marvel Rivals

Countering Divers Made Easy...ish. Alright, listen up, healers—because if you're playing support in Marvel Rivals, you already know that you're basically walking around with a giant neon sign that says, "PLEASE DIVE ME ON REPEAT." Nothing brings joy to a sweaty Venom or a trigger-happy Spider-Man like ruining your day and making sure your team has zero sustain. But don’t worry, because I’ve got your back. Whether you’re braving the wild wasteland of solo queue or coordinating with an actual functioning team (lucky you), here are five rock-solid strategies to keep yourself alive and make dive comps absolutely miserable. 1. Communicate With Your Team When Being dove Let’s be real: voice chat in competitive games is basically a social experiment gone wrong.

32% Diversity in Gaming Devs? The Story Behind the Numbers

The Latest Saga in Gaming's DEI Obsession Welcome to the twisted world of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in gaming. On the surface, a recent article by TheGamer shouts triumphantly that, "Women and Non-Binary Devs Now Make Up 32% of All Game Developers, Up from 24% in 2022." At first glance, it sounds like like we're heading towards their version of "progress". But when you unpack this narrative, things start to smell like a steaming bowl of overripe propaganda. Is this statistic truly the direction gaming is heading, or is it just another way to gatekeep and play identity politics? Grouping Women with Non-Binary: A Misleading Narrative First, let’s address the elephant in the room.Grouping women with people who identify as non-binary individuals under one umbrella is like saying apples and oranges are the same because they’re both fruits.Sure, women and people that identify […]

The Broken Gaming Media: A Case Study in Bad Journalism

In a world where clout is currency and "journalistic integrity" is apparently an endangered species, we have another classic case of the gaming media tripping over its own hypocrisy. The drama began when SmashJT and industry veteran Mark Kern (aka Grummz) broke the story on smashjt.com about the departure of Corinne Busche, director of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, from BioWare and EA after the game’s spectacular failure. But instead of a straightforward acknowledgment of their work, the story quickly spiraled into a tangled web of misattribution, gatekeeping, and self-serving "reporting." Breaking News or Breaking Bad? SmashJT posted the original scoop (backed by credible sources) and provided an in-depth breakdown of the fallout at BioWare. Kern added further legitimacy by sharing his insights, yet hours later, Jeff Grubb of GiantBomb fame-swooped in with a tweet saying, "Corinne Busche, director of Dragon […]
