Hello dead Atlas Reactor thread, a game I still play and love. Pretty much everything in the store is 50% off for the rest of the year, so just FYI. Try this game if you haven't, well bye.

I just rediscovered it as well, forgot how great it is.

Every other month I play several dozen matches, really enjoy it and then just suddenly don't play more of it. I'm fine with that but I also wish it weren't the case, because it's probably the best MP strategy game in a very long time.

Anyone have some good effort posting about strategy in this game? Either general or hero-specific would be great.

I love this dead game, I bought the "unlock all heroes forever" thing and have yet to pplllay a hero I didn't enjoy. Bomb dudes are my favorite.

Grem has the best taunts. And I feel like the game suffers do to the glyph launcher. The population is healthy and has gone up, but it looks terrible on steam charts because it can't see the people playing it.

Tiggarius has some nice guides

My basic tips would be:

1) staying alive is just as important as getting kills
2) do not be shy about using your dash/catalyst to accomplish #1, even if it's turn 3
3) Frontliners aren't "tanks", their job is to provide vision to the rest of the team, try to stay in cover and minimize damage.
4) Actually, always be in cover if you can, cover is important which is why slow is better than root, it gets people out of cover when they move.
5) don't sticky bomb on turn 20.

I am bad at realtime MOBAs but this sounds awesome.
