Played about 5 minutes when a friend invited me and uninstalled, thought it might be interesting if the shooting mechanics were tight but it feels like a port of a console shooter to PC circa 2010. Really disappointing this is what we get from Valve.
- It's an alpha...
  
  Sure, I get that, and if it was the first game from an indie developer that would make sense, but for a game from Valve who have extensive resources, talent and experience it definitely seems like a poor introduction to the game.
- Noooooo Steam only makes great games. How dare you instead Lord GabeN like that.
  Shame on you for having a different opinion
- L take.
  145hrs in this game is going to become absolutely massive for valve.
- I'd love an invite if possible
- Can you invite me?
  
  DM me your steam name if you haven't gotten one yet and I'll figure out how to send you one. I'm in it, but I haven't played it yet.
Pass.
I'm wholly uninterested in yet another moba.
Only played maybe 6 games, but so far approaching the game from the right angle seems important - and what I have maybe struggled with. You have to play it like a MOBA, not Team Fortress 3. Farm is absolutely crucial and is also where your aim becomes a deciding factor: you have to get those last hits and denies during the laning phase (including securing the little orbs).
It's not what I first expected , but it's interesting and it definitely has potential. Still very clearly alpha stage though.

Is there a community for this game on lemmy anywhere? I'm addicted to it

  Thak you
I've played a bit (only against bots) and I actually kinda like it. I only ever really played league but that wasn't my thing so I stopped shortly after starting, but MOBA mechanics always intrigued me.
If anyone wants to invite me, please send me a DM!
Damn I've been dying to give this a try!
