Think of Lorich's articles as a rant from one of your friends that actually read the latest patch notes. With plenty of experience reporting on the hottest news in gaming, you can easily trust her opinion on if a game is hot or not.

Proudest Gaming Achievement

Lorich's proudest gaming achivement occurs whenever she manages to Match MVP in Marvel Rivals. It does not happen often.

Favorite Games

Lorich has jumped from Valorant to Marvel Rivals. Support mains get too much hate.
