Thoughts on the actual game?

[The_Professor]

any original opinion thoughts on this super original never before seen game concept before? Aside from the begging for invites or begging for friends, dying to see the f2p ultra skins CSGO is long game plan for the latest gaben profit machine, hbu?

It has the same issue I have with LoL and DotA. Once you are behind it is super annoying to come back into the game. You can play safe, but because you have to farm ... you'll get even further behind. Especially with last hit denial mechanics. You try and fight them, you'll probably lose again and you're even further behind.

This is less of an issue in Heroes of the Storm. Which I do enjoy immensely.

I guess it's maybe a skill issue thing, a team communication thing where you should swap lanes, jungle etc. I just don't enjoy it personally.

The hero design feels fresh though. I can see heroes from different top down mobas made into shooter variants.

Gunplay is very flaccid and weak feeling. Guns lack oomph and feel unsatisfying to use, time to kill being very high contributes to this. The core loop of CSing also feels unsatisfying and I don't like the orb and deny mechanic.

I don't know that MOBAs and shooters mix well. At least not like this.

I wouldn't listen to this weirdo, he regards Vindicta as blue feet girl, something that the weirdos love to point out strangely enough that she has no socks. I would have never noticed unless these weirdos talked about it. We get it, you like feet.

He really makes it sound like the fact she's barefoot is what makes her design redeemable lol.

its meh, just another moba. had fun with some friends but despite 3-4 of us, we can't counteract the issues with 2 other players being bad. idk if we just get put up against others with a larger group who are communicating, but the few games we've played, its been more frustrating than anything else. i can see it being a hit for others, but just like league of legends, just too much time spent in a game for a disappointing end

I literally couldnt even remember her name.

it's a fun game, i wouldn't listen to most of the ppl in this thread in regards to whether i'd play it or not, this game, for an alpha is more fleshed out than a lot of released games, also it's free and fun lol. Everyone should personally try it and not be lead astray by comments that are most of the times bs, go in neutral and u'll like it.

Playing 1-2 matches and rage quitting then hating on the game is not the way to go. My first match was confusing and i was like ok? Then decided to boot it again later and i got hooked. Once you catch its charm and see how it goes with items and start playing various heroes and liking them, the game changes.

Nowadays if someone dies in an online game, lag is not blamed anymore, it's game balance lol, good ol "Lag" days are gone.

I'll wait for reviews or if they update that sbi group.

You don't have to wait, SBI's own website lists Valve as a client. This is the only game that Valve has been working on since that update (as far as I know).

It has potential but the itemization sucks, the fact there's no hard CC counter item means that the team with more CC has a huge advantage, characters without any form of CC are just plain bad at most levels. No surrender button means you're at the mercy of another team if they want to stall the game.

If it wasn't Valve the game wouldn't be as big, would probably be successful enough. I do think it's already more fleshed out than most AAA games as is.

[Ponyeater]

Already encountered my first cheater. Aimbotting obviously and never really missing a shot.

Yeah... Enough deadlock for me.

The fact the artstyle is all over the place and tries to be cutesy while also going hardcore inclusivity doesn't help it.

This is not it, chief.

i wish i could only play the character i want

[Pinkyrellas]

For me this Game need to rework the shop system its confusing. And Items feel bad. Enemys feel to strong with 1 item or aare stats broken. No backport for me a bad thing when you are in the front and your base get attacked to rail back and than switch rail....
Remove headshots and idk for me atm a bad game but lets see when its released. But i cant see the updates that they update because no patchnotes :(

I actually really like it, which is surprising since I usually hate MOBAs with a passion. Maybe it's the fact that you can just grab a community build to decide items for you while you focus on running around and fragging. My only complaint is that there's WAY too much CC; most of the lategame fights I've played seem to be decided by who's the best at spamming stuns.
