By doing away with the character entirely, Riot could come down on the right side of this. Instead of sticking their fingers in their ears and pretending there isn't a problem, this is an opportunity for the company to show it actually cares about its players. It's an opportunity for them to forgo a few million on top of their billions, and to actually help soothe harm done to a real person. It's also an opportunity for them to retire their abhorrent marketing strategy for Seraphine, which would do a lot to garner goodwill and help win back people they might have alienated. Sure, it's the path of least profit, meaning that they likely won't do any of this. However, from the perspective of moral imperative, it's the only right course of action to t
From my perspective, then, there's only really one decent thing Riot could do in this situation. For over a month, the public has rebuked Seraphine's existence. Her in-canon profiting from genocide, her insincere and creepy Twitter account, and now, the fact that she's very likely based on a former employee's ex. This character has been deemed unacceptable by fans and casual observers alike, so in my opinion, it's time to do away with her entir
The reveal trailer for Resident Evil: Village , also referred to as Resident Evil 8 , may be the most atmospheric of the year, and it also could be the one with the biggest and best surprise ending. The nearly three-minute-long video shows off horrifying imagery and gameplay, with moments that make the hair on the back of one's neck stick up. The visuals, sound effects, and quality are good enough to make the list, but the ending is what solidifies it. Watching long-time hero Chris Redfield seemingly cross to the dark side has eyebrows raised, interested and ready to see how the story combines with the beauty show before
The lol best Mages trailers for 2020 are exceptional for various reasons. Some of them reveal a long-awaited announcement with levels of hype that darn-near make the internet explode, while many others (and some announcements too) are just so remarkably shot with gorgeous visuals and music that they create a spine chilling feeling for fans. 2020 was filled with all of this and more, making the best trailers of the year truly stand out. PLEASE NOTE : the following trailers are listed in no particular or
This claim is curious for two reasons. First, the idea that an employee who left over a year ago couldn't have had input on a character released in 2020 is absurd. Game development is a protracted process by its very nature, and many developers do work on games that they don't stay the full course for. It's plausible that a bunch of the design work for Seraphine was in the can last year, and she just now got put into the g
Players have wanted Steve from Minecraft to join Smash Bros . for years, and they finally go their wish. Not only did the trailer show off a moveset that somehow manages to perfectly represent Steve's actions in Minecraft, but it also was one that built up anticipation and intrigue before the big reveal. Complete with a remarkable trailer, it's hard to imagine this announcement being any bet
Players of League who mained Champions featured in Wild Rift 's roster might find themselves intrigued with the kind of changes the mobile game applied to these characters. Ashe's Enchanted Crystal Arrow (Ult) in League travels in a straight line that deals more damage to Champions it hits depending on its distance traveled. Meanwhile, Wild Rift 's iteration of the same Ult allows players to actively control the ar
Some of these items complement certain champions so well that they are essentially broken , and they will remain that way throughout Season 11 unless they get nerfed. Many champions may be in a good place this season, but there are also certain champions who have effectively been permanently nerfed by these changes, either because the new items do not mesh well with them, or because Riot nerfed or removed certain stats and it
According to lore, Aatrox is one of the strongest champions in League , and he actually shares a lot in common with Kratos because he is technically Runeterra's God of War. Aatrox is a corrupted Ascended being who was sealed within a massive sword, and he is still the strongest of the Ascended despite his current f
Likewise, turrets will no longer have plates to ensure they can get eliminated much faster. They made this by making the entire game map much smaller and removing turrets that guarded the Nexus.

The first movie on Marvel Studios' 2021 schedule is Black Widow . Scarlett Johansson's long-awaited solo MCU film is slated to be released in theaters on May 7, 2021. It was supposed to launch Phase 4 in May 2020, but Marvel delayed the movie multiple times due to the status of the theater industry. Since Natasha Romanoff died in Avengers: Endgame , her movie will be a prequel that continues her story after Captain America: Civil War .
