  This came out a few days ago on Steam and I'm loving it so far, surprised to see there was no thread so here's my crappy attempt, tell me if you got something for me to add. It's PC only at the moment but the mobile versions should be out in a month or two, and the console versions will be out next year, dates TBA. The gameplay is great, it's very satisfying, it's simple to pick up but there is a lot of depth. Much less of an initial barrier to entry than either Rocket League or League of Legends. It has both WASD and classic MOBA controls. The matches are short (4 minute timer) and there's no actual chat right now, it's much less toxic than you'd predict a MOBA to be. It's free to play, with cosmetics.

This game rocks. I've bounced off every moba i've tried, but this game hits the spot! currently floating around silver in ranked using WASD controls with my buddies if they fixed controller support and added replays after goals, it would be perfect!

Game is cool, my only complaint right now is bans in a game with ten characters is real dumb.

Game is real fun, ban system is a non-issue imo, since it's only one ban per team. If you don't like it you can also play unranked as well. Just a short message to all forwards out there: If you didn't queue for goalie, please gtfo of the goal. You're only making it harder for your own.

the only thing i don't really like about this game (other than the sometimes-questionable netcode) isthat there's really no way to make it visible to forwards that they actually need to score points to win the game. like the second a goal goes through the 50/50 of "will someone start spamming the ? sticker at their team's goalie" begins, but there's not really an equivalent emphasis on the fact that if you're trapped in a forever volley that means your forwards are failing at their task. there's really no feedback that you're doing poorly as a forward in the same way there is as a goalie (not necessarily poorly but that you probably made a mistake), for better or worse i guess

game owns witch can instant kill any goalie who is staring at the puck too much with her ORB and rocket girl with the skill to recall on recast can be a highly aggressive goalie with no downside unfortunately randoms have not yet entirely figured out they can aim their kicks also the two over to win has gotten a 13-11 match

game 1: goalie afk game 2: 2 players afk game 3: teammate hits it into own goal 4 times game 4: goalie afk game 5: goalie afk this game sucks and needs a way to leave matches e: ok I played a real match now and it was fun e: it sucks again now that it's making me play as not-the-goalie for missions real talk though the game seems fun except I don't think I can get into it because a game w/ this much variance in player skill sucks poo poo to solo queue in The number of people who stand next to their own goalie and kick their own goalie's saves right back at them is loving astounding

i think in general, perhaps understandably, people are very hesitant to trust their teammates in this game. you see lots of situations where every forward is chasing the puck when the goalie's abilities are all available so there's no real danger, and if one team's forward stayed midscreen they'd have a completely open arena to take advantage of if the goalie passed it out plus easy access to camping orbs. e; i wonder if some of that goes back to how difficult it can be to recognize good or bad plays that aren't "scored a goal" or to a lesser extent "got a KO". so it's easier to just assume everyone else is bad especially if they missed a shot or save you think you would have gotten.

Those situations get a lot better on mid to higher rankings. I'm just at high gold, and people already trust their goalies more and give them space, and I don't think I've had an afk player in 15+ hours. That said, the path there can be painful.

It got a lot better even in Bronze. But my new pet peeve is people who just try to brawl the enemy but they do it in a way where they are hitting the toward our own goal and they keep knocking my saves back at me!

A quick tip for anyone playing Juno: You can actually manually aim where your slimes shoot the ball by timing a strike in the direction you want them to pass as they get the puck. Takes a while to get used to (and be very aware of tunnelvision!), but when you can pull it off, you can really catch people off guard. It's a ton of of fun to play around with too.

Really enjoying this game. Starting to feel good as goalie but it doesn't really feel like many characters have the zone control to manage it.

Dubu, and to a lesser extent Atlus, is obviously the quintessential net-stander but yeah I think the category is more broad than it first appears. Similarly tools for forwards are more interesting or versatile than they might seem initially. It's pretty impressive tbh. E: thinking about Juno goalie is giving me anxiety lol

I like Dubu Goalie because he has enough zone control to push forward toward midfield and hold the ball there for a while. Not a fan of Atlas goalie because I let a lot of goals sneak by just by not having a movement skill, but I like him in theory beyond that with his healing ability and he'd probably he great with practice. The witch girl is kind of cool as a goalie - her right click is a good slow debuff on enemies and buffs teammates too while being a solid snipe, her movement skill is a team-wide speed buff that can help push to the far end of the field immediately if your team takes advantage of it, and being in the goal zone she's in a pretty good spot for sniping with her R - if someone's coming up the top or the bottom and you can catch them dead-on with a fully-charged R it will slam them repeatedly against the edge of the map and knock them off. But I feel like Dubu's movement skill is a huge advantage/crutch over the others I've tried as goalie and lets me save things I wasn't in position for, which means I can be out of position taking advantage of his ability to bully and zone. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Sep 27, 2022 |

juno has to be insanely conscious of the ball and plays the enemy might make at basically all times due to her being small *and* slow, and her jump move having a delay before she actually hits the ground and can kick the ball, but the trade-off is that shes probably the goalie with the most influence on her punts

You also get vastly more map control than the other goalies, you can influence the puck on basically the entire left side of the field from the goal zone. Edit: On the other end, I can't stand playing Atlas, he's so passive.

I played some games as Flex for the missions and while I didn't like being a Forward I can't stress enough how important it is for one forward to stay near the enemy goal at (nearly) all times, doing that I was able to catch a lot of passes and score before the enemy forwards could catch up, then when I switched back to Goalie I kept getting frustrated when both of my teammates would dogpile the puck when it was near our goal - I'd save and knock it downfield and there'd be no one to pick it up or do anything with it. In general I just wish these forwards would learn to ignore the puck occasionally to get in position - like if our goal is clear and the puck is headed straight for me, don't go knock it out of the way  Just move downfield so I can pass it to you, goddamn. So many people will just knock it vertical and stop its momentum and let the enemy forwards catch up and bring it right back to me!

estella, era, and drek are all odd goalie picks that also work out. I haven't actually seen a drek goalie (or more then like four games of him) but like estella if you are good at clicking the puck you can keep a pretty wide area covered as well as snipe it at the start if you gently caress up and miss tho you eat poo poo era has a pretty middling shot but it buffs and her haste template usually wins the center if the opposing team doesn't bring an era (spoiler; i am pretty sure era is one of the top picks) but as a goalie she has the please leave super that works really well on any of the maps with obstacles. x and juno feel like they're really good low elo characters and immediately falls of a cliff edit: while I am unconvinced atlas has a win rate to speak of Gamerofthegame fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Sep 27, 2022 |

Also if you have a Luna goalie, you actually have half a goalie, but two and a half forwards

really been enjoying Stacks on Stack for Dubu and X, the former makes goaltending feel a lot safer and the latter gives me a much easier time getting better value out of his ult (plus it stacks mad fast since each individual hit gives a stack). Well Fed doesn't seem great but i see a lot of people taking it so i wonder if I'm missing something.

it makes you physically bigger which means your strike radius is bigger so you can win more trades e: i believe it also makes your melee spell effects bigger as well but im not sure

strong bird posted:it makes you physically bigger which means your strike radius is bigger so you can win more trades you're thinking of Built Different. these are the blue trainings:  well fed isn't BAD and it all but guarentees you'll never lose your Stacks on Stacks, but i wonder if the alternatives aren't a bit better for the characters you need to grab blue. Built Different + Large Things for Dubu seems like it may be stronger in most circumstances for instance.

i played estelle goalie but it feels like griefing a third of the time. its just worse than kai for all defense purposes and while estelle is better at scoring in a power play than kai if your team cant score in a power play with kai goalie youre probably going to lose anyway. if you do want to play estelle goalie make sure to take the training to let you teleport back

estelle's teleport is probably the single most reliable clutch save if you gently caress up there is everyone else's movement options also hits the puck (into the goal (that's an own goal)) the rest of her skill set isn't great for it, though you can do some long range pokes to move the puck out of your side
