I have played probably 10 matches so far and I've only played d.va because why bother with anything else?

I only play mech characters

I mean, sure if you're a giant weeb I can see why D.va would be the only viable character. Maybe Genji too

yeah theirs are a bit different but mei definitely does follow the sort of archetype i was thinking.

now i want to come up with other types of abilities that would fit well in the game :p

I'm thinking a "relocate" type ability akin to Wisp from DOTA where you can move yourself and another character from one area to another after a short delay. If your tank gets caught out you can zip in and relocate them behind your lines.

Seems like the perfect Mercy ability.

I'd get crazy and start adding in items though, I wouldn't be able to help it.

FREE?!?!

That sounds too good to be true! :O
Due to most devs/pubs wanting to nickel and dime us.

from the sound of it, they have 15 characters possibly in development (per that article). THIS is the model i always wanted out of a multiplayer game. Primarily is a flat cost product with extra revenue brought in through cosmetic purchases

Me too, I hate games that split the community.
Especially maps, it literally kills the community.
That's why I stopped getting Battlefield and CoD games, they love that model.

I don't mind them monetizing skins if they want, but not gameplay.

LoL you can earn guys without paying.
Had the game since 2010, haven't spent a dime on it. :p
(Only play ARAM now)

Though yeah, DOTA2 has everyone unlocked and free.
I might play it again since they now have community maps and stuff.

Not a fan of the speed of DOTA2 though.
Too slow at the start.

From Valve I prefer CS:GO.
Hopefully L4D3 is awesome, if it ever comes out.

MOBAs are trash. also it has a total of 1 map last i checked.

The best, most tuned and expertly crafted map in the business. In the most recent patch they just moved some trees around and it changed the juke game entirely.

You won't go changing a chess board would you?!

Too slow at the start.

The best part about DOTA is the methodical start and the back and forth of the first 6-10 minutes of ganking, rotating, and farming.

I am a league of legends master, but I quit for various reasons (too much time wasted on it and all but stopped me from playing other games)

In that time I could have played 2 rounds of rocket league or 3-6 rounds of CS:GO. :p
Also in that time, I could have played half an ARAM match in LoL. :D

Started out 0-5 as a carry in DOTA match last night but was able to turn it around after 20 minutes of methodical survival and farming.

They could have stopped me by pushing in properly and removing my ability to farm but they were too slow. Was able to finish the game 15-7 after 50 minutes.

God I love DOTA.

I'm a casual in games so they need to be fairly easy for me to pick up and play for me to enjoy. MOBAs just take way too much time investment that i have no interest in (also i think the perspective sucks for managing a single unit and always have since starcraft custom maps)

HotS matches are usually pretty quick, Smite too. Have you tried either of those?

I'm fine with a learning curve but god damn don't jump down my throat in second 1 because I didn't buy the starter item that you usually get.
 
For a game like overwatch it'd be cool if they did one character per player per team modes

Seeing multiple people use the same character is kinda boring

But then again it'd turn into a lets rush to pick our character scenario


Go Winston players B^)

I'll admit, almost everyone who plays DOTA 2 is a garbage human. Even pro players are complete shit-heads on their private streams. It's as if Bad Manners (BM) is a meta game all on it's own.

I can't stay in mobas for long. The game is okay but the community is terrible.

I find most gaming communities terrible.
Try and ignore most people talking, as they usually troll.

Though I will stand up for people if they are getting harassed.
Even though it solves nothing.
(Usually they shutup cause they're usually the worst player)

Usually I'm on a private Teamspeak server with friends just casually talking.

yes and they're better. still take a lot of learning for slow payoff.
my favorite MOBA actually was infinite crisis. they had this nice small map and i would play as atomic wonderwoman (who didn't have a mana bar which was cool cause mana bars suuuuuuck)


some things that help for me with overwatch are their multiple practice modes which make it easy to try out characters with zero pressure. lack of locking abilities behind succeeding in game. actually notable standard attack. and other stuff

only things that could make me like it more would be LAN and offline games that you can fill with bots

usually its a disadvantage to have multiple per team (or at least more than 2)

definitely wouldn't hurt to make it a mode or an option in a custom match

I got into the Paragon beta,
still haven't installed the game.

Might give that a try.
Maybe it'll be better than Smite.

I did enjoy HotS since it's quick and has several maps.
Also like not having to go back to base to get items.

It's an odd dichotomy in DOTA, because most everyone is a shithead, but most everyone is also giving good advice while yelling their shitty things. So it's a struggle to not do the opposite just to spite their shitty fits.

Anyway, enough about DOTA from me (for now)
 
My favorite MOBA is Awesomenauts. I was actually kind of shocked that anyone could be mad while playing that game, or at least mad enough to hurl slurs, but I was wrong!

Smite is a really good palette cleanser. I wind down with either that or HotS, but I may do that with Overwatch now.

Ehhh I tried LoL and DOTA and didnt like either game. MOBA is not my thing but I guess mixing it with other genres can work fine.

lets now talk about how badass atomic wonder woman is




please do a cosplay of that, Gal Gadot

Ya know what, a lot of my MOBA buddies hated it, but I really enjoyed Infinite Crisis. It had some interesting unique mechanics that kept me coming back.

Also I could play as Barry Allen.

Atomic Wonder Woman was dope, so was Gaslight Joker.

I loved pulling bullshit when I was deep into playing Halo. Launching vehicles at people and all that. The Modern Warfare multiplayers were always a bit more tense because I was afraid of losing my kill streak (I had it set up in a way that would let me use the first two to get a nuke if I played my cards right).

WoW pvp was hit and miss because it depended more heavily on teamwork than most shooters.

LoL and HotS were okay but it was hard to have fun with them because I felt like I was playing with a gun to my head.

I'll be honest, I've only really read one Wonder Woman arc. If it's not Batman or The Flash I tend to ignore it.

I got the god pack or whatever it's called when the game came out.
So I have all the characters in Smite.
I think everyone has access to that pack now.

Thought it was a good deal.

For me the game that has the community I despise the most is CS:GO.
Though I still enjoy the game, but in competitive maps, people are just so angry and mean.

Community aside, I think fighting games have the steepest learning curve. You're gonna get obliterated over and over again before you get anywhere.

marrec help

Infinite Crisis is a MOBA that takes place in the DC Universe. Atomic Wonder Woman is a character in the MOBA that was never featured in the comics but can be seen as an amalgam of Red Son Wonder Woman and Superman: Distant Fires Wonder Woman.

She was pretty awesome, and I kinda what a comic focusing on her now.

it was simple enough for me which was the good thing. its that and having characters I actually cared about.

i'd switch between her, ivy, wonderwoman, and i think shazam

really i'd love to do a cosplay, myself, some day. would be so awesome

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Y'all should play Heroes of the Storm. Super accessible and fun MOBA
 
Hmm the start is rough but there are a lot of interchangable tactics between games that can help you adapt in multiple ones. Of course their unique systems and features change things but overall there is a common ground usually on most games.

Yep. Mechanics will always change, but the fundamentals never do.

I tried it and I didnt find it fun. I should try finding more friends to play with if I try to get into it again cause 1 and then the rest with randoms with tons of experience kill the fun.
