Gigantic

>>385403676
Genuinely fun, fast-paced gameplay and good variety among characters. The game still has a bunch of issues, which I hope the devs will be able to resolve. More characters would be fun as well.

definitely not the matchmaking
or pre-game character picking
or pretty much any of the melee combat
or the grind for crowns
or the voice-chat

but at least playing aisling is fun

>>385403676
by not pretending to be something that it isnt.
with overwatch, paladins, battleborn, etc.they are trying to be this super competitive game, and are forcing it upon their players who are just trying to play the fucking game, with this game, not so much.
not only that, but the art design and animation in this game, I feel as if overwatch as it is now is just very locked with their character design, with how they set up their lore and the art design, where as with gigantic, the game design takes in the cartoony aspect, and makes it focus.
or maybe im just talking out of my ass, who knows.

Wait, its actually good?

Mozu a best

What's the limit on how much power you need to resist the initial attack by the Guardian? I think it's 50. But I just want to confirm. Dunno if this takes into account the players killed during the rampage.

Mostly bad character design straight out of tumblr.

I like the graphic engine, animations and cel shading but my dislike of actual characters ruins that too.

>>385409196
Aside from specific ones on certain characters, I've found that's not true most of the time. You'll want to always take the CD reduction on Dimension Door on Mozu, for example, but pretty much every upgrade on HK has it's merits and usefulness depending on the enemy team and how you should play against them.

>>385409196
I do too, but it's because I'm not familiar enough with the characters, so I tend to pick stuff that I know work.

It's good to try a few variations too, some upgrades can really change your kit.

>>385409196
certain traits are like that, yeah, but when you get nuanced with the characters you like you can start figuring out which skills go where.
Knoss, for example, performs better than you'd expect with a bleed & tank build when you're the only melee in your group, but if you have a margrave w/ you or something, his basic attack build absolutely wrecks house.
Most characters are like that.

I was interested way back when because of the art direction and animation. W10 only really turned me off though.

It's a joy to just play though. Things feel really good and all the characters feel vibrant and distinct. Some of the balance seems like it's fucked though. With a lack of CC overall, not many characters have hard CC and the CC times are very short with relatively high TTK, it feels like some characters will just run their cocks down your throat. Ramsay seems overtuned; he does way too much fucking damage with how mobile and tanky he is. Tripp has like 3 forms of CC and idiot proof escape mechanisms. The game can feel extremely frustrating when you're playing with idiots, though I imagine Dunning Krueger faggots will be rampant. Bad teammates dying doesn't just get the opponent marginally ahead, you lose the ability to resist deathballing, which is all the game seems to be, the other team gains progress toward a rampage, one where they don't even damage the Guardian is still a huge notch of damage toward a wound and negates any progress you made in the previous phase, AND the enemy team gets more levels on you. Plus, bad teammates fucking up creature placement is a huge headache.

All in all, it's really fun. It just needs to some polish (No push-to-talk is fucking bewildering) and maybe some tweaking to its core mechanics.

>>385409872
I'm hoping that comp mode will mean people will be a bit more involved.

Also, they need to amps up the guardian's rampage.

Not him but have you seen the animation? It's pretty fucking great. After I went back to Paladins after playing this game the most over the past week, I had to question whether something happened in Paladins witht he latest updates because of how it felt kind of stiff and the sounds seemed worse than I remember. I think it's just from getting used to Gigantic having a ton of different sounds though and the general animation and gameplay being smoother despite the 60 FPS cap.

The gameplay itself is really fluid and fun, but the lack of CC, insanely high TTK/health pools and free out of jail escapes on heroes like Tripp make the game really teamplay-reliant and thus frustrating half the time

That's an understatement. Honestly if you look at a game like Zelda Breath of the Wild you can see how cel-shading works on character designs that are actually iconic and well thought out. There is no reason we couldn't have got THOSE kind of female designs in this game other than the fact the devs chose to ugly up all the women with shit fashion and/or shit faces.

Maybe i'm just shallow but a game I am expected to play for thousands of hours needs to interest me visually. This game has a hard time holding my interest visually except with a few standout characters. Meanwhile games like Overwatch, Paladins, Heroes of the Storm and DOTA 2 are FULL of interesting visuals.

>>385413692

Beckett is the only character I actually regret buying and I've been playing since closed beta. I got her thinking she had a Tracer-like glass cannon assassin thing going too but she's more of a generic shooter reference with a jet pack and high DPS. I stopped playing her the second I got HK.

Let me guess, you're going to describe them as some variation of tumblr, SJW, and over-designed while not giving actual explanations as to why their bad beyond personal opinion and nitpicks while also ignoring the 17 current members of the roster like Pakko, Ramsay, Xenobia, Tyto, Sven, Wu,etc.
If you don't like them, that's fine, but don' try to your dislike of them is the reason they're bad when at most their mediocre(Zandora) to boring looking(Imaini)

>>385414016
Zandora is literally just a Zora with pink skin if you're bringing up BOTW. Most designs in BOTW beyond that wouldn't fit all that well with the rest of the cast, either. Just because their both cel-shaded doesn't mean they're similar style wise.

>>385411846
She's fucking fun to play as but it feels like a third of her upgrades are useless and don't fit with the other tools in her skill set.
Her ranged attack tree is fucking shit since it nerfs your damage, you still need to be in melee for your party heal or debuff immunity to work, things that you'll pretty much always have since her Into the Blade's Swift Return tree is bad because if you need to use it to run, it pretty much means that you're already dead anyway.
One of her passives is only useful if you take Into the Blade's Aura of Healing and so on.

I always end up with Will to Power on Terrify, Aura of Healing on Into the Blade, Father's Flame or Reproof on Slash depending on if I took Burning Blade or Cador's Might on Cador's Charge and for Cador's War Cry, either Intimidation or Spectral Lens depending on the enemy's line up.

>>385413669
Why do people suck ass at Zandora?

>>385414016
>Meanwhile games like Overwatch, Paladins, Heroes of the Storm and DOTA 2 are FULL of interesting visuals.

Let's be real here. The real reason Gigantic won't hold up over the years is the lack of waifu fapbait. It's the reason Battleborn flopped as well. It doesn't matter how good the gameplay is if the average waifu lover can't find someone to fap to in the game. I'd be shocked if any rule34 even exists for this game outside of furry shit.

I could spend the next 5 posts explaining in detail what is wrong with the majority of the cast from an artistic standpoint but let's be honest, you don't want to hear it. If you like the characters you like them. If I dislike the characters I dislike them. Not interested in really wasting my time to justify why I dislike them.

Yes, there are a few interesting characters but as it has been mentioned there are games with a much higher quantity of interesting and iconic characters in them. That's not really debatable. It's an objective fact. Even if you think the entire cast is fairly good when held up against other games in the genre it's impossible to deny those games have way more instantly recognizable and well thought out designs.

I'd argue they fucked her up too with the literal noodle arms and big ass cartoony hands. Thank god that artists with some understanding of divine proportions fix that shit up in the fan art.

>>385414408
>It doesn't matter how good the gameplay is if the average waifu lover can't find someone to fap to in the game.
Too true. In terms of female characters, Gigantic has some actual variety, having an old lady witch, a monkey, a loli, an edgelord, a chick with tentacles, a four-armed deva, and a glamrock midget

It just doesn't really have any traditionally hot/waifuable characters like most of the females in Paladins and Overwatch

>>385403676
I got through some of the tutorials and bot games yesterday while I had some free time. Game seems alright. Definitely needs more heroes and bigger maps. Gameplay felt a bit awkward in melee, but the robot was pretty fun. May pick it back up later when it's expanded some more.

Are any of the summoners good?
I want to get Griselda just for that sprinting animation.

Why do people need a waifu to play a game? I could get that if you're actually a marketer for the game and are telling them to make waifus so they make more money, but people who legitimately don't play a game because a lack of waifus are autistic.

Also Xenobia is best girl anyway.

>It's a "three people instantly lock Tripp, Wu and Tyto" episode

I legitimately do not get /v/'s hype around this game. I'm not calling shill but this game is so fucking boring. Not only that but it's one of the worst fucking games when it comes to one guy just being able to fuck over your team. Feeding in any other moba might create a snowball effect for an enemy player to become really strong but feeding in Gigantic literally makes you unable to win the game because the enemy team will hit rampage every single time.

The character kits are so bland and this would legitimately be ok if the map design, movement, and objective placement was conducive to technical play but they aren't. A large share of the roster just spends most of their time holding down left click. The UI looks like shit, you can't even upgrade skills without clicking which is obviously a huge problem when you have to aim WITH YOUR MOUSE. The halfway design between a moba and an objective based shooter leaves people like Imani who isn't an effective sniper at all and instead is just some sort of burst mage which leaves that niche just partially filled and completely unsatisfying to play. It's not a horrible game and it looks great. It's just so goddamn dull. You don't feel any sort of power even as an assassin nor do you feel like you have any real sway over how the game is going. You end up just doing the same thing after every rampage, jumping in and out of team fights that most people are only partially dedicated to. And then you just walk up to the enemy guardian and fling some stuff at it from afar and you win.

Your time is worthless and we both know that, especially when you brought up your own dislike of the art at first when seeing other people enjoy it. We both know you want to be egged on further so you can say your peace and have your opinions legitimatized and attention be put on you.

>>385414745
>That's not really debatable.
I never said it was. Not everyone is Mickey Mouse when it comes to recognizability, nor did I ever say the cast was anyway near that level, especially with how unknown it is atm.

>Even if you think the entire cast is fairly good when held up against other games in the genre it's impossible to deny those games have way more instantly recognizable and well thought out designs.
Again, I never said they did, nor was this ever one of your or my original points in your "argument", of which you still haven't put any actual effort into making.
Again, if you don't like this game or it's characters, that's perfectly fine, but you started this conversation by coming into this thread and being annoyed that other people liked their designs and you didn't.
You're the equivalent of a child that thrown a tantrum when another group of kids decided to watch a show they liked while you watching something different elsewhere, and you had to let your dislike of what they were watching be known to them angrily.

>>385414837
>Post it anyway. I'm keen to hear what you have to say.
Nah. I don't have the time or energy to go over them one by one talking about exact proportional, anatomical and color related issues. Most the issues can be summed up simply by pointing out the artists who designed these characters have a fundamental lack of understanding of how and WHY divine proportions are a necessity. They are the universally accepted guidelines artists use in order to create aesthetically beautiful designs that are also responsible for making something iconic and memorable. You CAN bend these rules but many of these designs are inconsistent with one another and also bend the rules too far to the point of breaking them.

A lot of people would refer to this as "tumblr/sjw" style but I don't really like to use that terminology because the baggage that comes with it. However, there are a lot of artists on tumblr who make it their mission in life to rebel against things such as color harmony and divine proportions which is what makes their art rather generic and displeasing to look at. A lot of cartoons on TV are also starting to adopt these kinds of styles unfortunately.

TLDR version: The designs in Gigantic stray too far from divine proportions to be enjoyable to look at by artists like myself. Some of the color combinations are also going against the principles of color harmony. Some of the anatomy is totally fucked as well.

I don't know, sex sells I guess.

Tried a few rounds, seems fun but the artstyle makes it really hard to tell what the fuck is going on.

Also the skill tree concept is never a good idea. I can't be assed to spend several hours trying to memorize a single hero's 20 different upgrades so I don't waste time trying to decide between them mid-game. Only to realize that half of them are way worse than the other half anyways.

Also, I can't tell what the fuck other heroes do. There's no indicators that tell you if someone is snared, stunned, slowed, silenced, weakened, grounded, etc. And I can't tell if I have any of thise effects on me (Or maybe there is an indicator but I hust can't see it because the artstyle makes everything look like fireworks in my face)

There are different expectation levels depending on the type of content. No one expects a web comic made in someones free time to have amazing art even though a few manage to do just that. Also, are you really defending Dobson of all people? The guy who told Zelda Williams to "calm thine tits" when she was mourning her dad's death?

The fact is MOBA are like fighting games in terms of people picking mains they want to be and fight as. The characters NEED to resonate with people because people will be using them for years. If this was just some RPG or action game they could get away with the mistakes they've made but it's not. Even in those genres it's preferable to make more iconic characters but a good story or great gameplay in a short 8-15 hour experience could have people overlook mediocre designs.

>>385413379
SHIT TASTE

>>385416620
There was something about a Giant Robot being a guardian, but I can't remember if that was a leak or speculation.

>>385416607
Because people are biased against battleborn simply due to the people behind it. Gigantic has the exact same kind of artstyle, and people have no problem with it because there's no one they hate that they can link it to.

Basic psychology, really. And I'm not commenting on the quality of Battleborn itself as a game, just on the artstyle.

>>385416937
also because battleborn is a much more shit game

>>385414408
>Dota
>sexy waifus
You can count these with one hand

>>385416607
Because Battleborn's is just terrible design. Characters have retarded giant bodies and tiny heads, and then ayy lmao necks and super skinny bodies. Not to mention they gave a lot of the characters stupid faces in general with every element of their face being sharp and pointy. Gigantic's designs are at least proportional. Even Imani's not deformed, she's just wearing a giant hood for the sake of silhouette and being recognizable from long range. She'd look cooler without the hood though.

>>385416980
I addressed that, as well. But the original question was "why does the artstyle work here when it doesn't in battleborn", and gameplay has very little to do with that.

>>385416937
I dunno, I haven't looked at BB that much but it looked to me it strived for cool and badasses characters, while Gigantic looks like it has a sillier cast (like Uncle Sven or Mozu).

I also got interested in the game with pics of Aisling and Cador with his mustache helmet.

You can have some wonky anatomy in a cartoonish game, and multiple characters in Gigantic already do. The important thing is that I don't want to tear my eyeballs out of my head when I see it. He's not overly detailed or a visual clusterfuck, and has a distinct silhouette. Like I said, nothing offensive unless you're honestly complaining about stylized anatomy in a cartoony game.

>>385417953
And their poses. And their """personality""".

>>385417959
>The important thing is that I don't want to tear my eyeballs out of my head when I see it.
How do you feel about the Steven Universe reject?

I legitimately don't care about the designs but the gameplay is so slow. Even Tripp, the supposed high damage assassin, takes days to kill anyone. The only reason anyone can get high death or kill counts is because they consistently just run into the enemy team.

>>385417959
So what is so offensive about Attikus, except the fact that he has wonky anatomy?

In fact, Attikus isn't human AND is in a cartoonish game, which should give him the right to be as wonky as he damn well pleases, no?

>>385413534
James Phinney

>>385417736
It sort of does, but he's visually a clusterfuck of unnecessary detail. I wouldn't have known he used electricity without looking him up (though I guess that's what those spikes on his punching arm are supposed to indicate), but you at least get the idea that he's probably going to punch a lot and be at least somewhat hard to take down.

>>385418302
How is his design clusterfucky? He is a huge, long necked, horned alien who wears armored pants and has a massive robotic arm he uses to wallop people with.

In fact, if you look closely, most of the detail is reserved for the robotic arm and even that isn't overdesigned at all, just some (what I assume to be) cooling rods running down the length of it.

The arm is actually the least of my problems with his design. I'm not sure how I'd go about changing it, but I'd probably get rid of those random scales, change his horns a bit to enable shrinking down his neck a bit and maybe give him an armored collar around it to enforce the 'bruiser' look.

>>385419021
The problem with BAttleborn is their characters are overdesigned garbage to the point of turning people off and being unmemorable. Gigantic, Paladins, Overwatch, TF2. All of these games have character designs that have unique silhouettes and are recognizeable from anywhere. And then the designs come together to have a decent look without being overwhelming to look at.

It's obvious Battleborn went for a BADASS overdesigned art-style on purpose, and it turns out that people avoid doing that for a reason.

>>385419380
The shoulders are rounded, the guns are rectangular, the FUCKING SPIKES EVERYWHERE are triangular, the penguin is elliptical, there's absolutely not fucking cohesion

Sven is literally 4 orbs put together, it's beautifully simplistic

The colors are okay at best, but I think they should've gone for more contrast between the silver/red/yellow, it makes it way more of a clusterfuck to try to pick apart visually

Also big /= recognizable, if this piece of shit turned 45 degrees it would look like something completely different, if Sven turns he's still a round little fucker. The heroes from TF2 are great for having recognizable silhouettes, because their shape from top to bottom makes sense from any angle, this thing is just a fuck ton of parts mishmashed together on all of it's axes

Why is this fucking idiot allowed so much mobility, so much DPS, and probably the biggest game changing non-Focus abilities on a 15 second CD? The reach on his tongue feels actually ludicrous sometimes.

Because to be effective, a good Wu needs to perfectly perform his combo every time against targets for maximum DPS. Even fucking up once is a loss of massive damage that could be done to the enemy and instead being done to you by their retaliation.

You can dodge his combo attacks and then his regular attacks barely do damage without him using either a skill or his stamina. The only problem I have with Wu is his tongue because it's both fast and has a decent range and allows for super easy ganks.

I've been getting a lot of Margraves recently. Sometimes it would work out so well and the team would actually coordinate, nad then other times it would go so wrong and I'm the only one trying to help him out while the team is fuckin off in a corner.

This game got significantly better from closed beta till now. The UI got way improved and the graphics dont liook like shit. Feels smoother, plays a little better.

The only thing I want is that I hope that they let us make our won skill trees that we can level by ourselves, like how they have the recommended one that pops up where you hold 1 and it levels the abilities.

>>385422803
Margrave is only for super manly high test alphas. As such most of your damage comes from lmb, rmb should only be used to reflect projectiles (this kills the fortified HK). Lunge is for initiating and chasing, while charge is great for escaping (uses no stamina, purges debuffs). I find that if a Tripp or someone engages, then sprints away, you can charge and then lunge and 9/10 times you'll catch up and be able to put your big throbbing demon member elbow deep in their cunt

>>385422803
His lunge has a path that either increases the stun to a 2 second stun or greatly increases the range (and other stuff). His level 5 (clash) skill also can lower the cooldown on it,
His charge has a path can can interrupt and throw people to your team or greatly increases the distance and gives you armor.
RMB can reflect projectiles or if you choose the other path, turns into a high DPS short ranged cone.
Also his Counter path on his left mouse button is better than his AoE slam. His abilities typically give him armor, on top of his high base armor in the first place, but if the enemies have a lot of armor cracking/piercing abilities such as bleed, it's better to build more health.

Margrave is only as good as your team tho, so if the team is ass, Margrave isn't doing much. If you can coordinate with your team, you can basically roll your abilities on them and easily confirm a kill.

>>385422220
i played around 20 and its getting boring and repetitive.Getting credits/coins takes forever, noobs are getting paired with ppl with high lvl that overpower their side with special creatures from shop and more character game knowledge, melee champs seem bland just get in range and hold autoattack + throw some skills when off of cd, hell i tried to support my team with vadasi but it turns out her heal is literally so weak (even with orbs and passive) its more favorable for my teammates to just disengage and autoregen on their own, healing margrave takes way too long to be effective and he is a fucking tank, besides heal range is so short that enemy can easily switch from his current target to you.

Its just: see enemy, use skills, keep holding dmg button, hope it dies faster than you.There is barely any way to use characters even while building them differently to your advantage and it gets boring after a while.

>>385423394
>>385423616
The only new things I've found in the roughly 20 hours of playtime is that dodges have i-frames, so you can avoid some burst damage if you're good with it. And seeing the differences in dodge, sprinting, and jumping attacks is kind of nice. I don't know what you guys are looking for when it comes to melee characters though. You don't really play them all the same. You can play Margrave as a reactive counter brawler if you want, since he has an interrupt and weaken or you can just swing your gorilla arms around and pound stuff into dust, whereas Tyto you'll be using his dodge lunges to dance in and out of fights and around damage, carefully managing your stamina, or you play Tripp where you blow all your CDs going into a fight on one person, faceroll your keyboard, and then stealth out.

I don't know what you're looking for though.

>>385424549
Not to mention that there's Wu who's melee and all about combing and mixing up your attacks. I dunno what they want in a melee character.

some weight? actually feeling like i'm hitting people instead of just doing melee-range spells? Reinhardt feels like he's hitting people with his hammer. Tripp just spazs out while mashing WASD

Come on anon, at least use someone similar like The Margrave.

>>385424165
how? i played knossos, his whole skillset is set to utilize his auto mostly adding some dmg increase at his spear toss and interrupt ability, after that what is left? either retreat or use minute ad buff time to engage with charge and autoattack until cds are off again, rinse and repeat.

besides look here>>385424093 , this is what im talking about with this game, its literally numb gangbang when 2 enemies overpush and get jumped by 3-4 guys, having no way of escaping/defending themselves, there are no escape mechanics here, dodge wont help here, sprinting will only let them harass you without worry of taking damage and still following their prey.
If you are at 15-20% hp there is almost zero chance of surviving 1v1 if enemy has more health.

>Compare a fuckhuge dude in armor with a little girl swinging daggers

Okay. Margrave's 4th hit feels like it's smashing fools. Reinhardt's hammer's perceived weight is probably a combination of hitstop and OW's TTK being low. Swing his hammer against a wall and it doesn't feel like anything. It feels like your swinging a paper fan across a surface. It can feel like you're doing nothing with it too if an Ana is heal bursting whatever you're smacking with it. Feels pretty bad to land two hammer swings on a Genji and he still swords you to death because he swings so much faster.

None of this has anything to do with the previous complaints of melee character gameplay though, just "game feel," if we're going to borrow a buzzword lately.

>using one 18 second webm to judge the entirety of a game

I'm actually amazed you think this game is lacking in escape options, considering most people seem to think there's way too many options. I hope you realize that at pretty much any point in that webm, they could have just... turned around and left.

Why not just play a range character or better yet play WU

>>385424549
frankly im looking for what this guy said>>385425019

and as weight i would refer to it as more of an impact.They dont PLAY the same as you said but they sure do FEEL equally weak and meaningless.When 2 melee chars get to fight each other it looks like the webm from wolfenstein where 2 guys are stabbing each other and none seems to care much and it relates perfectly to this game.

>>385406060
No more game modes, it will splinter the small player base. We need a couple more heroes but like 4 or 5 more maps

>>385425603
At low levels, sure. When melee combat consists almost entirely of people just mashing their faces into each other and holding left click. But because your movespeed is slowed when holding left click, it's really easy for people just disengage or back up and wait for cooldowns if you're just holding the button down. You're better off using some combination of sprinting, dodging, jumping and attacking than just holding lmb.

>>385425284
>they also just feel like they are moving their fists through jello,
You still compared the weight of a big character with armor and a heavy weapon to a girl who's probably 100 pounds, wearing a hoodie, and slashes people with daggers really fast. I honestly don't think you know what you're talking about, or rather, can't articulate it properly. Margrave is slow and weighty, exactly what you wanted, and now they "feel like they are moving their fists through jello"? They?Who are you talking about?

>even the minotaur guy doesn't feel like he should be a fucking bull
How does it feel to be a bull anon? Please, educate me.

>>385425220
>get into terrible situation by being retarded
>get destroyed when someone dedicates their ultimate to CC you
>WOW THERE'S NO WAY TO ESCAPE

Those people could have avoided it by not being retards. And I can tell you don't know how to play since you think they couldn't escape that. The frog in the video literally jumps into the air and goes further into their spawn instead of using his mobility to escape. You can also counter people sprinting with your lunge attack, and a number of characters have skills that affect the enemy's movement for people to intercept them. A melee character can also use their stamina, momentum, and lunge attack to escape if they actually move properly.

But you probably don't know anything about stamina management, using lunges, or how to chase down someone, yet you're here trying to judge the combat system in the game before you've understood it. /v/ in a nutshell.

unfortunately for you probably 80% of playerbase has to play solo just like in any other moba like game since no one has dedicated 4+ friends available at any given time to play with you

brah if i am hesitant yet right in considering to discard this game based on my previously mentioned 20 games played then you sure as shit are fucked in head thinking average joe with no ability to reflect upon game mechanics will stay and play it, ultimately rendering this game dead in few months.

Besides ofc the previous situation in the clip was preventable, just like fucking everything can be but most time is not, not everyone will play best of their ability every god damn time and thats a given so i dont see reason for your autism outburst here.The problem here is that in games like LoL even when in enemy territory after overextending there is a way to get out by a thin margin which makes it exciting, there can be funny chases involving stun incapacitations giving someone split second advantage to win certain death situation but here?Unfortunately not.Thats what makes it feel bland and no amount of 'skill', stamina management or 'understanding' of combat system will change that fact.

there's probably some psychology related explanation, I have a friend who 95% of the time has to pick a female, even if they suck he still picks the most broken one and makes it work, he can't play males for some fucked up reason.

Only males I remember him playing are strider in marvel vs capcom, soldier 76 in OW, and surprinsgly voden in gigantic. He is a skinny bald diabetic cringy dude, it's just mind blowing when he won't even try a character because it's a dude, his room is filled with 100+ pvc anime figurines of girls in skimpy clothing.

Margrave player here, with the right upgrades he can be an extremely mobile tank who can fuck over shitty HKs with the reflect upgrade on his RMB and chase down stragglers after a fight, with enough damage to go toe-to-toe with Tripps or at least hold them off.

They got fucked because they went in to accomplish nothing and then whe they got in trouble, they ran even deeper. That webm is a case of people being stupid, and it's incredibly easy to make some "sick juke" play in Gigantic if you know how to manage stamina and know the physics. But you're a LoLbab, so if there aren't some bushes that make you invisible then your brain scrambles .

>>385428487
The "even perfect management won't help you for shit" is completely wrong though, but yes, it is better to intertwine escape mechanics with the main movement mechanics. People being able to escape on death's door through measured use of a resource is what's happening in both situations; stamina in one and flash in the other, but one is something that is constantly used throughout the game at all times while the other is only available every five minutes.

I wish the character roster was bigger.

Zandora could have used a bit more to capture the 80's glam rock/cartoon look but the space effect in her hair is neat. Plus she's got the the cheesy lines and the rocket roller skates. It kinda captures the aesthetic more in motion.

How does this game measure up to other moba like League and mxm?

>>385431685
no farming creeps for 5 minutes, all teamfights and fighting for objectives

it controls and feels like a shooter but it's paced like DOTA

>>385431884
No creeps at all or none for 5 min?
Is this like ow then?

>>385431978
yeah it's a hero shooter. no creeps at all. closest things are the "towers" in the game which are creatures that give regional buffs.

basically kills on enemies and kills on enemy creatures give your big boss power. once it reaches 100 power your boss tears across the map to hold down the other enemy boss, leaving it up to you to deal enough damage to wound it. first team to wound the other guardian 3 times wins.

>>385431978
theres no creeps at all. it's not like OW in the vein of like moving a payload, but you have different heroes/characters with different abilities and you go fuck up the enemy team and the guardian.
