    I‘m happy for the devs, but I shudder at the signal this sends to publishers regarding liveservice, „we just gotta keep trying, guys!“

      Mwah, the game is apparently fairly lenient on microtransactions. I hope the signal is: “maybe out liveservice game shouldn’t be utter crap”.

        That didn’t save plenty of other games either. So everyone is going to keep chasing this dragon to their own demise.

      Concord also happened this year. The message will be “we gotta be careful”.

      Sure there is: spend your time and money elsewhere.

      FWIW I really like this one. It doesn’t beat your head with microtransactions and it avoids FOMO by allowing you to always access previous seasons’ passes. Also every character is unlocked by default.

    I tried it, it’s fairly decent. Although imho, they went with quantity over quality.

    I think it’s a solid hit. Teamup mechanic is really interesting and actually impacts the match. Team rosters feel more flexible vs OW where specific counters are needed in most cases. I think the art style is a huge win too. It’s consistent across animation, static images, charachter design etc. They didn’t just use existing assets. Microtransactions aren’t shoved in your face. And I love how the battlepass let’s you pick and choose what you want.

    Balancing characters will take time, there’s some QoL things I’d like to see, and the crashes need fixing, but really solid out the gate.

    Tried it for 10 minutes and uninstalled. No depth. Back to Dota 2

      If you’re coming from dota the obvious hero shooter pipeline is to deadlock.
