just got my first draw, it was me Rook ulting a Varesh and he threw a projectile that killed me at the same second the last drop on my ult killed him.

Speaking of Rook, this guy seems really good. Like, REALLY good. so far the only teams that have given me any trouble were a varesh and sirius team (that stomped me and a pearl) and a poloma and freya (who we beat at 5 rounds). if you can land your rush its just a huge chunk of damage you can take for free and then stay in the fight since you already have the damage lead. I got placed at 2400 and have won every game except for two and am now at 2900. Maybe its just the 2k-3k bracket is really bad? Im not sure what's the average or whatnot in this game if there even is one yet

Sirius seems like a good counter to Rook, I've been having a hell of a time avoiding his petrify.

Sounds good I'll pick this up. I'm really a fan of the 2v2 system.

3v3s are both more fun and also have a lot more options comp-wise imo. I think that 3v3s have a smaller playerbase though so that's why they swapped to 2v2s primarily in battlerite (vs 3v3 in bloodline champions)

Feels like they're SLS isn't set on a primary game mode so we might see them balance 2v2 and 3v3 seperately.

3vs3 overwhelms my poor brain easily. 2vs2 is where it's at. Also my main man croak dominates 2vs2...

i think 2s are super easy to understand but a lot of heroes are really easy to play in 2s or feel really useless in 2s while in 3s it feels like more heroes have a place

Are the right click normal attacks considered an "ability" in this game? I tried to bate out Psychopomp's panic, and I'd still eat it every single time despite not using my abilities.

Yeah, everything's an ability. The thing to do if you get hit by Pomp's panic or Jade's spell block is not press any buttons (aside from movement) for a second, since that's preferable to being prevented from pressing buttons for even longer.

96 spacejam posted:Anyone have some tips for a solo player? I haven't won a single round queuing solo so I'm sure I'll get the bottom tier once I finish placements.I think it's a mix of me not being great and getting just awful teammates. If I go support I get a balls to the wall dps teammate. If I go dps I get a support who wants to run around on their own dpsing. You should also try generally being positive in game team chat. Most solo people I played with are responsive to strategy if you put it the right way: "focus this guy," "try to stay closer for heals," "etc."

Often times it is best not to press anything if a pomp is next to you until she uses it or she doesn't see you.

i've already grouped with a few goons that are extremely salty for no reason. some people are still figuring out the characters, getting mad over mmr loss or poor positioning when people are learning the game, in early access, on the first day even, is mega weird chill, learn the game and have fun i'll have vids up of the few inhouses that we did last night, featuring really hype moments like askha ulting into sudden death for a loss  e: also if you're doing the 2s tournament this weekend PM me for some scrims, either here or on discord, thanks boy are my arms tired fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Sep 21, 2016 |

idk how much rank means. I'm 11 (barely played during beta) and completely shitstomped a 13 last night while trying to learn Rook. maybe Rook shits on Varesh, maybe that guy was drunk, maybe I just haven't hit my True Resting MMR yet, but I know back in blc I rarely was able to punch above my weight. what's the highest rank in this? 15?

Ranks seem pretty random atm. It really depends on your placement matches but since its still early on, the ranks are kind of in flux so you'll find low ranks who kick rear end, and high ranks who suck.

the ranks aren't indicative of skill because someone might be trying out a different hero than the one they won the majority of their games on. the rank gain/loss is a lot more dramatic the fewer games you've played and i saw +80, +50, stuff like that and now ill maybe get 30 at most now that the system has more confidence in that placement. Countblanc posted:maybe Rook shits on Varesh, maybe that guy was drunk, maybe I just haven't hit my True Resting MMR yet, but I know back in blc I rarely was able to punch above my weight. i think varesh is one of the few heroes that rook really has the potential to push around because hes pretty immobile and doesn't have a fear. varesh telegraphs his damage pretty obviously so rook can easily enrage off him as well. in general rook seems pretty bad but i haven't played him yet.

After playing a few hours of him last night Rook seems to live and die based on your team properly tunneling the person without an out. If you can Rush someone whose trance is down, deal some M1 damage and then either sit on them (you can't do this unless they're bad or like, idk, Alchemist) or Smash them out of the fight as your team switches you're gonna do ok. But if the other team has enough outs or simply isn't forced to use them by your ranged DPS then it's gonna be rough. Rush is basically the worst engage ever unless you know you can completely poo poo on someone, you really want to play corners and try to bait people out + control space with your E, then Rush to peel/tunnel.
