Twitter feeds and game forums are frequently filled with game criticism. Even in normal circumstances, gamers fail to openly appreciate the efforts of those who work so hard.

It's a social experience to connect people. This is even more true in the time of COVID-19. Playing online together is one of the few activities that separated families and friends can do together and is a way to bond. Right now, siblings are shooting each other from across the world in Fortnite , and friends are scoring against each other in FIFA . Sadly African players don't get to join the party. They must put up with terrible lag and non-stop connection issues if they want to play. Not only is this a frustrating experience for them, but it kills the fun for their overseas teammates with a decent connect<br><br> <br>In games of Apex Legends , I’ve found myself matched with profile names that are blatantly racist (they used workarounds to pass spam filters).

People worry about accuracy and rate of fire when it comes to burst rifle guns, but the Hemlok does both tremendously well. Mid-range fights are where it truly shines and speaking of shining you should look around for the special golden Hemlok that can be found in Season 5 .
