The tragic death of George Floyd has ignited a movement to end racism and promote inclusivity. Companies that previously sat on the fence have been forced to take action and prove they are progressive and are moving with the times. Over the last few weeks, there has been an unprecedented show of Support class overhaul for the black community, with most publishers releasing statements condemning racism and taking action to ensure inclusivity and equality. Many popular games even have “Black Lives Matter” banners to affirm this stance. Something these companies are conveniently forgetting is that ALL black lives matter, not just American black li
Respawn Entertainment is great at representation because they make sure it’s clear, but it’s never an overt defining characteristic of their legends . Loba happens to be a woman who is bisexual and is attracted to both men and wo
Caustic is an interesting case of a legend being somewhat overpowered in very specific situations. His bulkiness and movement speed make him a giant target out in the open, but give an enclosed space he’s unstoppable in the right ha
The largest black community lives in Africa and has a long history of being treated as second-class, whether it’s colonialism, the slave trade, or gaining access to world-class events. The stereotype of Africa being poor, dirty, and underdeveloped is still strong up to this day with no sign of change on the horizon. Yes, some places are less developed, but in the last few decades, the continent has made massive strides in terms of technology and has seen incredible growth. Despite all the progress, most video game publishers don’t have a single server on the continent, and exclude Africa from their events complet
He points out that big organizations such as 100 Thieves and FaZe haven’t invested in the game’s competitive scene. And, perhaps in part due to his role with SoaR, he can look at it realistically from a business perspect
Revenant’s base design is so striking and visually interesting that it seems almost impossible at this point for Respawn to make a skin for him that isn’t cool. The Death Etching skin players receive for purchasing the Season 5 battle pass follows this trend as another skin worth using. It very much echoes the same Egyptian and Middle Eastern fortune vibe that the other two skins its paired with display. Black on gold will never not look amazing, and the subtle red accents throughout make the skin truly outstand
The theme of Season 5 seems to be centered on exploration, discovery, and riches. Loba’s Huntswoman skin has the skilled assassin looking like a Victorian bounty hunter. The forest green and cream outfit is accented by the dark brown leather of her accessories and brings the entire look toget
Not only did Season 5 bring with it a host of new changes, but it also introduced the new legend named Loba. She has a long history with Revenant, as she was the daughter of the man who Revenant killed in his introduction to the g
Finally, new charge towers have been added across the map. These towers instantly charge the ult of any legend standing nearby. We haven’t spotted all of them yet, but there is one in the new Capacitor zone to test
“There’s no way I can keep up this momentum forever, where I’m working the day job, SoaR Gaming, and then streaming like all at once,” he says. “The only reason I feel like I’m able to do is that I’m relatively young, for n
It should come as no surprise that Loba has a hard time interacting with robots and finds them offputting. Even someone as gentle and kind as Pathfinder feels the wrath of Loba’s disdain. When something as traumatic as what she witnessed at a young age happens, it can leave emotional scars that are almost impossible to erase. There may come a day where Loba’s hate for robots, in general, dies down, but don’t ever expect her to forgive Revenant for what he did to her and her parents on that fateful
Between his role with SoaR, his stream schedule (he puts in more than 20 hours a week), _ Apex Legends _ scrim matches, his regular YouTube uploads , spending time with his fiance and his day job, it’s a near-miracle he has time to talk the TheGa
A glance in Loba’s direction will show you that this master thief is also pretty good with a makeup palette. The red eyeshadow around her eyes isn’t just a random inspirational makeup look she saw on Youtube, it has a deep and profound meaning to
Her passive ability, Eye For Quality, lets her see purple and gold items through walls. It can be pretty difficult to determine what the item is at a distance, and most of them are hop-ups, but it helps to know which buildings are best to l
Unfortunately for Pathfinder mains, their robot buddy was the subject of the biggest legend nerf in Season 5. His grapple received a cooldown of 35 seconds, making his strength of optimal traversal a thing of the p
Most teams still feel the need to have one member use Lifeline, but that may change as more and more people get used to Loba. There comes a point when healing isn’t good enough and teams will need additional abilities Lifeline doesn’t have to turn the fight in their fa
