All your friends and foes,
they thought they knew ya,
but look who's in your heart now.
I pretty much exclusively played 3v3 and it felt well paced, but it's definitely way more chaotic. I could see it being very hard to cast/spectate compared to 2v2.

2v2 feels like the right balance of twitch and planning and chaos.

Is there a way to change your name? There's a character display limit in-game that I didn't know about until too late.

Since it's not really stated anywhere in the tutorial for new players: your EX abilities are activated by holding SHIFT and then pressing the appropriate button. I had no idea about them until I looked around in the controls.

They're also bound to '1' and '2'.

Not really. Their account name system is also pretty dumb because you can come across a guy named "friend of the family" in pub games and they seem to have no issue with that sort of thing.

There's a report system now at least, on the scoreboard @ end game.

Considering this is the very first day of Early Access, I wouldn't be surprised if it's taking them a bit of time to deal with offensive names. You can report people post-battle if you see a name like that.

Also Rook's movement is slow, which i like and makes his Q really useful if timed right.

I didn't see they added the report system, that's pretty good and necessary. I saw the name during the first closed beta and thought it was silly and dumb you could do that. Then I mentioned it on the Battlerite discord, thinking it was actually ran by the devs, and people started screaming about SJWs, censorship, and freedom of speech. Turns out that discord isn't ran by the devs. :oops:

Edit - Oh also apparently chat is autodisabled. lol.

I got so much poo poo to do man, raids released in wow, but I'm almost grade 13. It kind of felt like poo poo buying the 50 dollar pack but I'm willing to throw whatever amount at these guys to keep this game going. Glutton is absolutely loving amazing man, I'm so glad they added him first.

e: thank god they didn't reset anything I get to keep the name "cum"

do you prefer to play with a healer or with another dps? Both can be fun, and maybe viable?

Glutton's got the same "get on man, slay mans, be fat gently caress punch dude" but he feels a lot harder to decide when to commit without the hook. RIP that fist hook.

I mean it's more than we've had the past few years on bloodline and it's only been released for a few hours. The fan pack is #1 popular new releases. It's really just staying optimistic

Rook damage feels a little high? He's completely devoid of gap closers though, might just be 3v3 bias where he can really shine with all the cleave and easy counter activation.

His Space is pretty good for closing the gap.

Just picked this up and it's good fun.

I swear I played a game just like this a couple years ago (can't quite remember the name) and they were making this big esports push or some poo poo then it just kinda disappeared. This seems a lot more polished though, so hopefully it will last.

Servers seem to be having issues so one way to bypass that is to set up a private game with people and you should be fine.

Edit - Also #SheeverGaming

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.

You're thinking of Bloodline Champions, which this game is more-or-less an updated version of. That game was largely sunk due to its godawful microtransaction scheme. They seem to be going for the cosmetic chest model this time around, which is fine.

They also tried to slow down the pacing a tad to make it a bit more approachable to new players.

They need to incorporate super cheesey skins and announcer packs along the lines of HoN. I love paying for that type of poo poo.
