Long Before Friendslop, Portal 2 Made Co-Op Cool

Long Before Friendslop, Portal 2 Made Co-Op Cool https://ift.tt/jMpcx4l April 18, 2026 marks the 15-year anniversary of Portal 2's release. Below, we reminisce about its memorable story, novel cooperative two-player mode, and enduring comedy. There was a time in the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 era when Valve was spoiling us with games, packaging some excellent titles in The Orange Box and bringing us back-to-back Left 4 Dead entries. But the company hit a stride with the 2011 release of Portal 2, which might be its finest accomplishment of that generation.

In addition to that, her ult cost will be increased since she's "getting it at a faster rate than before the midseason changes."

But Junker Queen isn't the only one receiving changes. Since not enough people are playing as Lifeweaver, Blizzard is looking into making him more approachable for players. In season five, "there will be quite a few changes (mostly buffs) coming to Lifeweaver," such as an increase to his healing and damage output, a heal on his Life Grip, a reduced hitbox, and quality-of-life changes to Petal Platform.
