Hearthstone 's limited-time Doom in the Tomb event has players facing the Headless Horseman inside Uldaman over a three-week period. In the third week, players can also take advantage of a new Tavern Brawl that rotates enemies around the board after each turn. Finally, an Arena costume party will let players pick a Hero and Hero Power before then drafting cards from both classes. Doom in the Tomb runs from October 8 through October

How you choose to construct a deck is in your hands entirely. However, in the earliest stages of beta, a simple tempo-oriented zoo deck will be one of the strongest options simply because players are learning what exactly is going on, and zoo ensures that there is always a focus on having and maintaining board control in the early and mid game. For the unfamiliar with the concept of zoo, check out Trump's video below. It is four years old, but the concept remains unchanged in virtually all C

Blizzard would have much greater success in Overwatch , a first-person shooter version of the MOBA. Others wouldn’t be nearly as lucky. Paragon , Dawngate , Infinite Crisis , Arena of Fate , and Battleborn all came around the same time and all failed to live up to expectations. Many of them simply failed altogether with servers shutting down a few short years la

Today, few companies are looking to create a new moba tournaments. Dota2 's player count has been on a slow, steady decline while League of Legends' has mostly plateaued. Riot Games still reports LoL ’s player count as an ever-growing number , one can only assume that’s due to greater international penetration as well as longtime players creating secondary or "smurf" accou

Which is kinda what happened to MOBAs. A few years ago, it seemed like Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas were taking over the world, with a new MOBA being announced almost every month. Now, most of those games have failed and only a few MOBAs live on to fulfill that ni

League of Legends is rooted in its many Champions, and they are ever present as powerful cards in this game. These look similar to normal units with a powerful exception, and is that they have clear goals written in their text that when completed transform the card into a leveled-up version of the Champion, complete with new abilities and often an increase to their stats. These goals range from doing a certain amount of damage to the enemy core, healing a certain amount, casting spells, and m

Borderlands 3 may be a recent release, but Gearbox already has plenty of plans for the role-playing shooter . The Bloody Harvest is free for all Borderlands 3 players, and while the event hasn't begun yet, its start date will be revealed later this month. Nevertheless, a few details on the spooky event are already available: a new vendor named Maurice will appear onboard players' ships who accepts a Halloween-specific currency called Hectoplasm. New enemies will also start cropping up all over the galaxy equipped with terror debuffs to knock players off their game. Later on, players will gain access to the Bloody Harvest map; a location full of haunts and led by Captain Haunt -- and any player that beats him will score some choice Halloween-themed g

Hitman 2 will feature Halloween-themed challenges and events, plus a graveyard map, beginning on October 22. Three of those challenge packs also introduce new enemies: the Master Vampire, Master Scarecrow, and Himmapan Horror. Then, on October 25, players will get the chance to hunt down a serial killer stalking the inhabitants of Whittleton Creek. For the main event, on October 31, players can delve into a challenge pack based on old slasher films -- The Uninvi

MOBAs arrived as a popular genre back in 2011, but their origins can be traced back to the late ‘90s. A popular StarCraft map called Aeon of Strife is often quoted as the original MOBA. Instead of players controlling multiple units and the structures with which to build more, players controlled just a single hero unit and fought alongside a number of lesser AI-controlled units. The map is just three lanes, with the AI-controlled units battling in each one to a standstill (usually). It's up to the player-controlled heroes to turn the tide and ultimately destroy the enemy's b

Despite apparent support for this cause, certain stories in the lore tell of conflicts elsewhere in Valoran. Whether by internal power struggles or outright aggression between two or more nations, the conflicts which prompted the establishment of the Institute of War seem to continue, creating a further disconnect between lore and the storyl

Reading his story, it makes sense why Sol would choose to compete in the league. What doesn’t make sense is how anyone else could defeat him. A space dragon who can create entire star systems seems a bit out of the reach of someone like Jax who simply swings a light post. And yet, Aurelion Sol isn’t even that g

Apex Legends' Fight or Fright event began on October 15 and will run until November 5. Fight or Fright will bring players to a nighttime version of the Kings Canyon map, where regular matches will take a creepy turn: once a player dies, rather than going to the end-game screen, their character will be reanimated as an undead version of themselves. Then the undead players will go after the living ones, who will have to band together once only 10 survivors remain to reach an evac s
