I'm watching this Polish streamer and he's using a mount that looks like a lava salamander. Is this the Goblin Throne mount or something else?

According to Shane he got his from 2GD. I think its like a special mount thing they gave out to specific people that isn't purchasable yet. Its not the mount from the Goblin Throne pack.

Have you played Bakko+Ashka? It's brutal when the ults come out. :getin:

Edit 2 - Here's the Rook bio to add to the champion section



Rook is a good, but slow, brawler type of champion. What he lacks in speed he makes up for in devastating armor breaking attacks and powerful strikes to follow up.

Is this game still fun to play solo or is it not worth it if you don't have a group to play with regularly?

Not really. Here's two vids I made of two different heroes.

Ashka (fire dude) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0MeDkv3QCA

Bakko (hi i have an axe guy) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNKgWqBP6wU

Freya (i have hammers girl) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmFMFAgz4c8

I find solo queueing OK. I definitely get a lot of pubbies who sperg out super hard though so maybe finding a good dude to play 2s or 3s with would be advisable.

They sure love telling us about the server issues in-game though.

Edit - I also love the Dota people sperging super hard about the game when it was being streamed on Flax & Shane's channel. Namely the constant "omg champions?!?!?! :getout:" stuff.

It seems up to date, but there are some editorial/coding errors such as the "tips" on that page being for Bakko, not for Shifu. There are other things too, like the incomplete remarks under "Role". But the hard info regarding actual abilities and battlerites seems to be accurate at first glance, yep.

So far glutton isn't very good going crazy offense, he is absolutely crazy at protecting someone though. Wait for frogman to come out of stealth on your healer or someone, and just obliterate him. Since he lost the pull he kind of lacks mobility compared to most so you can kite him fairly easily.

Bakko is good to learn on. You face rush, brawl, and also can deflect their attacks.

This game is what Diablo 3 PVP was supposed to be before Blizzard abandoned any hope on it. The stuff Blizzard had at Blizzcon a year before release seemed like a blast and very similar to what BLC/Battlerite is. The end product was nonexistent, followed by a super lame, poorly balanced, piece of poo poo that no one does.

It looked really good and fun at Blizzcon. Friends who tried it at Blizzcon loved it. PVP wasn't in at launch, but many patches later they added it. I tried it with a friend and found it to be completely unplayable. I had no expectations of it and somehow it managed to be about 1000% worse than I imagined. The character power was so hosed up that characters could just one-shot eachother with any ability. Words can't describe how poo poo it is. That's why I imagine most people are unaware it exists. It is completely beyond anything resembling an actual game. It's trying to play minesweeper where every square is a mine .

Don't forget that thorns work at full effect, so even if you do kill that crusader, you still die!

In other news: Battlerite is a good and fun game.

1st Match > get 3 - 0 dumpstered by team of Snuu Snuu mace amazon and spectral mage thing.

2nd Match > Get matched against the exact same guys, make adjustments and beat them 3 - 1. The crowning moment for me was the other amazon person the sky jump ult in a panic, and then me reacting by placing my ult on her landing pad just before she landed, liquifying her.

Reliability of getting into matches aside, I'm pleasantly impressed by the matchmaking. It placed me at about 2900 during beta, I got up to 3300 (Grade 11) within a couple dozen games and have been staying there for the last fifty or so games. My opponents are pretty much at my skill level always and I never feel like I'm ever matched with someone significantly below or above my skill level.
