I'll probably play a little bit of Quake Live everyday. Hit me up anytime someone wants to play. I need to work on my... everything.

you used to have to lead shots based on people's ping and that was a fun skill to learn

LG's probably the better weapon to learn if you just play FFA.

I'm not a FFA expert though, I don't mind it but I don't play it that often. But most FFA experts I've talked to say it's a lot about LG.

why is the default gun so garbage? the gauntlet is all around a better weapon that it.

you mean the entirety of quake live outside of instagib is almost entirely about lg

e: the starting weapon did like half more damage in vanilla quake 3, they nerfed it along with every other hitscan weapon for quake live

When I was 10+ years younger and sober I could pretty much ruin people's lives with that thing. Now... yeah, not so much.

I recently discovered that I have little to no worthwhile multiplayer games, in addition, my rig sucks and my internet connection is shotty. But I do really want to play so I'll try to find a way.

I would be up for an Imp Zone Awesomenauts crew, if anyone else here is into platformer-MOBAs of middling quality.

Quake Live is based on a game released in 1999 or something. Jump in.

Awsomenauts has been in like every bundle too so everyone should own it.

I hear it's a LOT better then most mobas. Are there a bunch of unlocks or can you pretty much go in cold?

It's the only MOBA I'll play, merely because it's a fun battle-platformer, not a horrible clickmans. Smite seems sorta similar, but it's still got that horrible hour-long match poo poo.

There are quite a few unlocks, but a handful of the best characters (especially for new players) are right there at the start. I recommend rolling Lonestar (space cowboy) or Clunk (killbot turned heavy-duty janitor) to get a hang of things, then trying out whoever seems cool once you know some poo poo. Most every character is pretty cool, fun, and well-thought-out. It's not like DotA where you've got a million generic grimdark elementals

how long is an awesomenauts match

Schnedwob
Feb 28, 2014

15-20 minutes. Half an hour if both teams turtle as hard as possible. I've also seen steamrolls of less than 10 minutes, so. yeah.

that sounds totally reasonable in comparison yeah

It sometimes still happens the enemy team tips the scale past the "get hosed" point, but since the game is way faster paced than other MOBAs, that shameful period of inevitable loss is mercifully short
