Hi guys! Today I will show you the results of our Survey for Anime Fans.

First of all, I want to thank all of you that took part in this survey, because you made this possible.

Second, I want to say that the total number of people that took part in this survey so far is 100. I would have liked to have a bigger sample size but this is enough for our needs.

With 100 people sample size, the margin of error is 10%. For example, if 60% of the participants reported a fear of heights, there would be a 95% probability that between 50 and 70% of the total population have a fear of heights.

Of course, the survey will remain open and those of you that haven’t done it till now can still take part in this research that we are doing. Here is the Survey for Anime Fans.

We also have a survey for Gamers. Here is the link. We would really appreciate it if you took the time to complete it.

Now without further ado, let’s see the results.

Gender & Age

We have to say that there were more females than we expected. It seems that it is a myth that the vast majority of anime fans are males.

57% of anime viewers are between 18 and 24 years old. That is something that we believe most of you expected. Nothing surprising in these stats.

Hours per Week

85% of Anime Fans watch anime between 1 and 10 hours. This is also something not surprising.

Favorite Genre

It seems the favorite genre of anime fans is Action with 18%, next comes Psychological with 17% which is a little surprising at least for us cause we believed that the second most popular genre would be Adventure.

The next question is one of the most interesting ones.

Piracy in Anime

According to the answer, 66% of Anime Fans watch anime on a pirate website. Let’s first see the next question and then we will talk more about this number.

89% of Anime Fans would watch anime on a pirate website and 66% of Anime Fans watch anime on a pirate website. Now that 66% could be legit stat but we believe that the number of people that watch anime on a pirate website is much higher.

Probably some people didn’t want to admit doing something illegal so they lied on the first question and told the truth in the second since in the second question they could tell the truth without admitting on doing something illegal. This is our opinion at least, whether you believe it is up to you.

Now the next question.

84% of Anime Fans think that websites, where you can watch pirated anime, should exist. That is a very big number, and it says a lot about the state of the anime industry since many people don’t have access to services to watch anime legally and their only option is to pirate them.

Subscription Fees

Only 32% of Anime Fans pay for a subscription to watch anime. That further proves that the majority of Anime Fans pirate anime.

Let’s see what Anime Fans think about DVDs.

Anime DVDs

It seems only 32% of Anime Fans buy DVDs of anime they like, which isn’t surprising to us.

This next question isn’t a statistic.

Well, these are all the answers for those of you that are interested.

Next, we wanted to know if Anime Fans think that they are too old to watch anime.

Age & Social Barriers

82% of Anime Fans Strongly Disagree that they are too old to watch anime.

Furthermore, only 3% seems to think that they might be too old to watch anime.

81% of Anime Fans Disagree that anime are for young people. From these stats, you can clearly see that Anime Fans believe that age doesn’t matter when it comes to anime.

Let’s see now one of the most intriguing questions, and it is intriguing because of the fact that many people think watching anime as an adult makes you unpopular or a loser.

69% of Anime Fans aren’t afraid to tell other people that they watch anime. It seems nowadays watching anime isn’t seen as what it used to be seen in the past.

The next question results aren’t surprising.

87% of Anime Fans answered that it is possible they would stop watching anime.

The next 2 questions are about relationships and how watching anime affect a relationship. We will comment on the results after we show you the 2 statistics.

Anime in Relationships

97% of Anime Fans would reveal to their significant other that they watch anime. Also, only 17% of Anime Fans think that watching anime makes it harder to find a girlfriend/boyfriend. With this and the previous statistics, it is clear that watching anime isn’t something that affects romantic relationships as much as it used to.

Let’s now see what Anime Fans think about cartoons.

Anime vs Cartoons

72% of Anime Fans believe that anime are for older audiences than cartoons. Now whether this is true or not, it comes down to who you ask.

Anime vs Manga

The stats are pretty balanced hear as you can see. It seems that for Anime Fans anime and manga are equal and none surpasses the other.

Bonus Question

Only 18% of Anime Fans consider themselves as otaku. It isn’t a big percentage but it’s logical if you think about it.

At their 10-Year Anniversary, Riot Games (they finally earned that name) announced many things to come.

Among the announcements was TFT Set 2, or, as they dubbed it, Rise of the Elements (the whole theme behind 2019’s preseason). They also announced TFT on mobile (with cross-play compatibility) in early 2020.

TFT: Rise of the Elements would introduce a revamped roster (with only a few champions remaining from the previous iteration), a bigger board, an elemental theme different in every game through the Elemental Hexes, and a fully reworked Classes and (Elemental) Origins system.

They also said that they would focus on balancing the game better but more on that later.

Today, I will analyze this change of events and present you with my personal thoughts about it.

I also have a review of TFT that you can find here.

Without further ado:

How Did We Get Here?

TFT landed with a bang. It had such an amazing reception, that Riot couldn’t handle their servers!

Everyone loved the next big thing and this alone made many players return to League.

However, things did not go as well. TFT ended up being a complete mess of a game that awarded you for playing only specific things in order to win.

How did it end up over there?

Riot Games was changing things on a weekly basis. At the start, this included some light changes to overtuned stuff, and minor reworks to undertuned, underused, or straight useless champs, classes and origins.

Everything was great, the meta was shifting slightly, but, even though there were some optimal things, you could win by being creative and not having to worry about something absurdly overpowered.

Riot then decided that they wanted to introduce big changes that would shake things up.

So, they released new champions, a new Item Component, and a whole new Origin. As you can guess, some of these things turned out broken, and Riot was unable to fix it.

TFT ended up being a game of who gets 1 of 3 OP comps before the others, and they would proceed to easily win (by placing top 3).

Anyone who seriously deviated from these comps (or just tried to build something else) was at a severe disadvantage.

Apparently, Riot decided on big changes a long time before the announcements, as you could see by their balance changes that they weren’t trying to stabilize the game, rather, just keep it at a playable state for preseason.

In With the New; Out With the Old

So, what’s changing?

For starters, almost every Class and Origin got reworked. I mentioned before that Riot wants this new version to be more balanced. How?

They are completely scrapping the whole “a class/origin hard counters another class/origin which in turn hard counters another and so on and so forth”.

This circular logic didn’t work out because some classes/origins didn’t just hard counter the other, they invalidated them. So this led to a weird line where everything that the strongest class/origin doesn’t invalidate, is meta.

The new Elemental Origins, as well as the revamped classes, aim at having a relatively equal amount of soft counters and slight advantage toward some other classes/origins.

The game does seem more balanced on release, as you can build any comp and be as flexible as you want. You can always beat another player’s comp and always lose to someone due to synergies.

That doesn’t mean that the player with the luckiest series of opponents wins the game.

Positioning is more important than ever, and you are also judged by how well you utilize the game’s element.

That’s another change by the way; each game has 1 of 4 elements on the board (ocean, cloud, mountain, infernal).

That means that at the start, there will be a respective elemental hex somewhere randomly on the map (the hex is the same on all players, however), and another one at the start of the second PvP round.

Each hex gives a different bonus and takes up an item slot, so the decision-making potential here is limitless.

The Element of the game also determines Qiyana’s Elemental Origin. Qiyana is an Assassin with a different Elemental Origin every game. You can use her to boost your team with that respective element.

Another big change is on the champion pool size. There are now fewer copies of every single champion.

The intent behind this change is to encourage each player to build their own thing, instead of all trying to build the (number-wise) optimal comp.

They also rebalanced Items, but the changes are very little here, mostly to accommodate the new classes and origins.

As I said, the game does seem more balanced on release, and Riot said they would try to “shake things up a bit” without doing major changes that could break the game like before.

[adinserter block=”1″]

Final Thoughts

So, is it better? Yup!

Just the fact that you’re not forced to specific comps if you want to win is a HUGE upgrade for me.

In fact, I stopped playing TFT for about a month and a half before the announcement, I was really fed up with the state of the game.

But other than that, I personally adore the idea of Elemental comps and experimenting with different possibilities.

The fact that Riot encourages you to experiment and try new things out is even better.

If they can really “shake things up a bit” without ruining balance, then all the better. But TFT right now is well done (even though far from perfectly balanced).

At least when the new season kicks in, it will be much more fair to play and climb the rankings. The game is more dependent on personal skill, creativity, and mental agility than ever.

Finally, the mobile version will probably boost it to new heights as TFT will become portable, and everyone will be able to climb from anywhere.

Not to mention how much easier it will be to sneak some gaming time into your routine if it’s portable.

Hi, guys! Today I will present to you some of the best Manhua right now, that I wholeheartedly recommend that you should read or at least check them out. Without further ado let’s begin.

Tales of Demons and Gods

Nie Li, the strongest Demon Spiritist in his past life dies in the battle with the Sage Emperor and the Six Deity Ranked Beast and his soul is reborn back in time when he was 13 years old. Although he is the weakest, with the vast knowledge he accumulated in his past life he is able to quickly grow stronger and train faster than anyone.

His goal is to protect his loved ones from the ominous future that awaits them. He will face many dangers in his path to succeed in this mission.

Battle Through the Heavens

Xiao Yan who had shown a lot of talent and promise from when he was very young suddenly lost all his power 3 years ago and is now the weakest in his clan. The reason that he lost all his power is a powerful spirit that absorbed his energy for 3 years that resided in a ring that his dying mother gave him. Now this spirt will become his teacher and it will help him grow strong and powerful because in the world that this story takes place the only thing that matters is power and the strong rule the world.

Spirit Sword Sovereign

Chu, an Emperor in his previous life is killed by his partner, but instead of dying his soul returns to the body of his 16-year-old self. Although he is very weak in this body he plans to grow strong with his vast knowledge from his previous life and he will do everything in his power to take revenge on those that plotted against him in his previous life.

[adinserter block=”1″]

Strongest Abandoned Son

Ye Mo, wakes up in the modern Earth where spiritual energy is scarce and his master from his previous world is nowhere to be seen. The most important problem is that he is inside a body of a young man who has been abandoned by his clan and he is humiliated for an embarrassing reason.

Don’s Adventure in Another World

He is exceptionally strong and he has a lot of abilities but he hasn’t found a way to use those abilities in the real world, and the only thing he does with them is to use them to kill people since he is a professional killer. When he is transported in another world where there is only fighting and death on the battlefield his strength will appear differently to other people.

Hi guys! Today I will give you 7 tips that will help you improve your rank in League of Legends. I have played League of Legends since season 5 and I have reached Platinum in both EUW and EUNE. When I climb the ladder, I see people do these 7 mistakes very often and it’s one of the reasons that they don’t rank up. If you do these 7 things, I guarantee you that you will at least end Gold no matter your skill level. Let’s begin.

1. Have a Small Champion Pool

Now, I know that pros know a lot of champions and you believe that since they are the best in the game you should copy what they do, so you try to learn a lot of champions. This is a big mistake that will keep you from ranking up.

Most people that are high up the ladder, don’t play a lot of champions. They usually know 2-3 picks in the lanes they play. When you have fewer picks, you have more time to become better with them, and being able to consistently play good with your picks will help you to win lane more often and that will help you win games more often cause you will be able to help your team more if you are ahead of the opponent.

So, to summarize, you must know 2-3 picks in each of the 2 lanes that you play. You don’t need more than that. If you want to learn new picks, then practice with them in normals. If you want to rank up, never play picks in ranked that you don’t have at least mastery level 4.

2. Map Awareness

Another thing that people don’t do, and it keeps them from ranking up, is that they don’t look the minimap often enough. You should train yourself to look the minimap every 3 seconds tops.

Looking at the mini-map helps you avoid unnecessary deaths. If you see the enemy jungler in another lane then you know you have 5-6 seconds (if you play in the mid lane, if you play bot or top and you see jungler on the other side of the map then you have at least 17 seconds ) to play aggressively and go for kill. You should avoid going for kills when you don’t know where the enemy jungler is.

I learned this the hard way because I did this mistake a lot when I was new in the game and I died many times from the enemy jungler ganking the moment I went for the kill.

3. Know at least 2 Lanes

As I mentioned above you should know 2 lanes and 2-3 picks in each of those lanes. Don’t try to learn every single lane in the game. You should practice in normals on other lanes but in ranked you should focus on learning to play on the 2 lanes you are best at.

One common mistake that people make is that they reach Gold 1 for example and then they try to play on another lane and they end up losing a lot of games. They don’t understand that they are Gold 1 in the lanes that they play and with the champions that they play on those lanes. They aren’t a Gold 1 players in every lane and with every champion

4. Use Wards Correctly

This tip goes along with the Map Awareness tip. I see many players play aggressive in their lane to the point that they have pushed the wave under the enemy tower and they have 0 wards in the bushes, then they die because of the enemy jungler ganking them, and just like that they lost the advantage they had gained.

Never stay near the enemy tower with no wards, it doesn’t matter how fed you are except if you are 99.9% sure that you can 1vs2 (this is the only exception and I still don’t recommend it if you want to have more chances to win). You will avoid so many deaths if you do this.

[adinserter block=”1″]

5. Change your Build According to the Situation

This is another crucial thing that will help you improve your rank. You should always build according to what opponent you have in lane and after the laning phase, you should build according to who is the most fed in the enemy team and who are the biggest threats.

For example I have seen countless times games where the enemies have champions like Vladimir, Swain or Illaoi who have a lot of sustain and not a single person in my team-built items with grievous wounds as passive and we kept losing team fights because we couldn’t kill them, and no one person with grievous wounds isn’t enough, you have to have 2 people because if that person that has grievous wounds dies then its game over.

So always build according to the enemies you have.

6. Play Safe When you are Behind

This right here is the reason most people in League of Legends flame and it’s so frustrating when people on your team don’t do this. Here is the Golden Rule, if the enemy in your lane has killed you 1 more time than you have killed him then you should start being more cautious, if the enemy has killed you 2 more times than you have killed him then you hug the tower and you don’t leave it except if your jungler comes for gank.

The reason most games are lost is because people don’t do this. They keep being aggressive in lane no matter how many times they die, and the enemy becomes so fed that the rest of your team can’t do anything to stop them.

7. Use Pings and Listen to your Teammates Pinging You

Last but not least, you should ping when the enemy in your lane is missing and you should do this more than one time. Do it at least 4-5 times. Ping ss in your lane and then danger ping to the other two lanes or one lane (if you see where he is heading). You should also listen to the pings of your team and back when they say you are in danger.

One thing that many people don’t understand is that by backing when your teammate pings you then you gain advantage over the enemy team cause the enemy laner that tried to roam gets no exp or gold and also loses exp and gold from the minions that are in his lane and died while he was roaming, and also the one in your team that was the opponent of that person gets free exp and gold and also pushes to the enemy tower. People usually in lower elos don’t listen to pings and they die and blame the one that his enemy laner roamed because he didn’t follow, when in fact if he pinged them its 100% their fault for not listening, because if they went back as I said before they would get an advantage.

Also, if you think that there are more tips that could help people rank up that I didn’t include in this article then tell me in the comments below. See ya in the next article.

A game eerily similar to Overwatch, Paladins is a multiplayer team-based shooter game published by Hi-Rez Studios, with many different characters.

The game is praised by most media, but is it worth it? This review will be split into storyline, gameplay, visuals, and finally, personal thoughts sections. Without further ado:

Storyline

So the game supposedly is split into 2 factions that are at war with each other; the Magistrate and the Paladins (or Resistance).

In order to reduce soldier casualties, they used Heroes, who are much stronger than regular soldiers.

Most heroes pledged their allegiance to 1 of the 2 factions, but some (the Mercenaries) preferred to keep a neutral stance and go with the best contract.

Other than that there are minor factions and the setting is both futuristic and fantasy/medieval. There is a knight with a flamethrower for example.

Gameplay

There are 2 teams competing for victory. Every team has 5 player.

The game begins when all players choose their Heroes. Afterwards, the objective for victory depends on the game mode.

Before we go to the game modes, let’s talk about the Heroes. Every Hero belongs in a different category.

There are 4 categories for the Heroes:

• Front Line, the team’s tank. As the tanks, Front Liners’ purpose is to be in the middle of the chaos and soak up damage.
• Damage. Pretty self-explanatory, they are the main damage dealers, and usually, have the ability to either nuke the enemy or DPS him.
• Support. The Support has a mixed position. They try to position themselves as best as they can in order to disrupt the enemy and heal their allies. They usually have poor damage.
• Flank. Playing Flank is certainly the hardest, as they are the most squishy Heroes. Their purpose is to use their excellent mobility to traverse the battlefield and find and eliminate key targets, or at the very least create some chaos to the backline with their presence.

The best teams usually have a mix of the above classes, as having too much of one class is not as optimal.

Now, about the game modes.

The first and main game mode is Siege.

In Siege mode, there is a central point which a team must claim control of. To gain control of that point, one of your team members must stay inside the point for a specific amount of time, without any enemies stepping in.

Each second in the point raises your percentage of control. When you reach 100% your team captures the point. If both teams’ players are in the point, then it becomes contested, and neither team raises their percentage.

After a team captures a point, a payload is created. Then, the team that captured the point has a specific amount of time to push the payload into the enemy team’s base. The enemies will instead have to defend it.

The payload is pushed (or defended) whenever any Hero from a team is within its close vicinity. If both teams’ Heroes are close, then the payolad doesn’t move.

Every capture, push and/or defence of payload grants 1 point. The team to get 4 points first wins.

It should be noted that no team can gain their final fourth point by defending the payload, which means they must either capture a point or push a payload to win.

Siege mode also has ranked play, with a ban and pick phase, and various divisions.

The next game mode is Deathmatch.

Pretty straightforward, Deathmatch is about continuously killing the enemies. The first team to kill 40 players wins.

The final game mode is Onslaught.

Onslaught is a mix of the aforementioned game modes. There is a point which gives you points when uncontested, and enemy kills also give you points.

The first team to 400 points, or the most points after a specific amount of time wins.

All-in-all, the main game mode is most worth it, as is the case with most games.

[adinserter block=”1″]

Visuals

The visuals aren’t something absolutely impressing, but they serve their purpose very well.

In fact, they’re the around the best graphics you can have that can play on a toaster PC (or Laptop) without much problems.

Personal Thoughts

Although everyone says that Paladins is an Overwatch clone, Hi-Rez claims they got more inspiration from TF2.

The truth is, that it is indeed very similar to Overwatch, right down to Hero kits.

However, the game is free, contrary to Overwatch.

And also, Overwatch has many clones, and frankly, Paladins is the best you can get for free.

So, I highly recommend this game to anyone wanting to try Overwatch, but unwilling to pay for it.

For me, Overwatch only tops Paladins in the character depth department, where Overwatch’s characters are truly amazing.

Final Verdict

Storyline: –

Gameplay: 7.5

Visuals: 7.5

General Rating: 7.5/10

This is it for my review. Do you play Paladins? Do you prefer it from Overwatch for it being free, or is there another reason? Leave me a comment below.
