Its not always pre-mades. Sometimes I go in solo and stomp the other team, and then get my team to hit rematch. Sometimes you get lucky. Also, I've got 30 friends on steam that I met playing awesomenauts, and not all of them were teammates either, sometimes I friend my opponents too. Just be cool and friendly, meet people, make friends, soon you'll be getting invites to play all the time, then you'll be the "pre-made".

Effortlessly beating up a bunch of poor dudes who got thrown into a game with people they don't know at all, against people several leagues higher than them, doesn't sound like a fun time to me

It isn't, so it's a good thing that it barely ever happens.

Came back to play a bit, nothing has changed.

The game is good the very rare games where it's actually kinda close, but other than that it's a boring 15 minutes of losing with nothing to do against the enemies, or winning without any kind of contest.

Not to mention 8/10 games end with someone quitting after they died for the second time.

Bought this game during the weekend sale and I've been having a grand ol' time playing tanky fat dorks like Clunk and waddling to victory.

Having said that, Froggy is a huge pain to fight against in good hands. Had a game where one just dodged like 90% of my Skolldir punches somehow.

The only character that compares to Froggy G when it comes to avoiding death is Lonestar, and that's only because of that stupid frickin' bull.

2.7 is out. I kinda hate it. Last patch was great because they reduced game time to 15-20 minutes. It seems they went back on that cause so many 2.7 changes now result in longer games.

Scoop is cool though.

Finally gave Yuri a try, and he is definitely appealing to my "be the most annoying prick as possible and laugh hysterically" side. The mines are stupidly good; not sure if I like the bouncing / split mines as much as stacking damage and duration so they last forever and stack up for a big burst of Naut damage.

ASK ME ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE NEKOMIMI CLIFFYB
I can't stop playing cats only Derpl. You effectively never put a point into your turret skill unless you're late game enough and you have to. Grab snare to start, farm up and crack a piggy bank until you can get the +60 dmg batcat, then get +range and +attack speed. Now you're machine gunning 140 damage cats who's range are about as long as a base turret's. That plus the insane utility of his snare for you and your team, plus his natural tankyness with his high health makes for a really fun playstyle.

By the way, if you stopped playing Awesomenauts because you were always getting beaten by better teams, now's the time for you to give it another shot. Plenty of new players in the pool now with the Steam sale going on.

I love Cat Derpl so much. I can never play any other character because I just have so much fun with Cat Derpl.

srsly who wants to play this lamer?
My problem with this game is the same problem I had the last time I stopped playing. Getting stuck on the losing team loving sucks and I have absolutely no interest in dragging out those dreadful games for 15-minute stretches on the off-chance we manage to steal a win.

This a problem I have with MOBA's in general though, I don't think you should play these sorts of games solo at all, it just doesn't work.

Case in point, tried to play a game, get stuck with two 0/2's within a few minutes (one of them quit a few seconds later).



What a shocker, it's a 3-man premade.



It's just desperately un-fun whether you win or lose.

Just won a game with people who didn't understand the core had to be destroyed to win, which led to me throwing myself against it until it popped. A win's a win, though.

Teleports just like Sentry, it seems? Kind of weird to double that skill, imo.

It sounds like two different uses of a similar skill. It sounds like Nibbs only lasts a few seconds and is used for quick movement in a fight to either cut someone off or to get away from a tough fight. Hopefully they will have a gameplay demonstration soon show how it works.

EDIT:I found a Twitch stream. I was right about the teleport. It's a skill shot that lasts for a few moments that you can teleport to.

Ah, cool. I got worried for a moment that they were running out of ideas. Silly me!

Worried about how the upcoming Ayla changes are going to change my play.

I play regularly as Leon with friends as Ayla and Gnaw. I'm super excited for Leon's small buff, but very concerned about the viability of our team as Ayla and Gnaw seem to be getting hit pretty hard this time around.

Goons are changing the way children get an education in Haiti.

I was playing with some random guys and one of them said he saw me in a gif earlier today and pulled the url up after the game.
