Without buying anything, you have access to Ranger, Scalebearer, and whatever the rotating champion-of-the-week is. Just enough characters to enter the duel mode.

Pretty glad I held off on buying the champs pack, I'd have been real pissed if I'd spent money on this. Literally spend more time queuing than playing.

Perhaps one of them isn't counting overkill damage? Like, if someone's on 10 health, and you rail them, maybe the medals count 90 but the scoreboard only counts 10.

I only caught the finals of the 2v2, any of the earlier rounds worth looking at?

If you're just looking for one or two champs it's not too hard to get there, though you'll always have to deal with the free-to-play model nickel and diming you all the time. Honestly though I'd just play a bunch today and then if you like it, buy the champions pack while it's on sale. Treat it like a $20 game with a free demo.

The ffa deathmatch meta is totally different to the duel/competitive team meta. Clutch is probably a bit mediocre in ffa - he has an enormous hitbox, and while his ability is great for winning 1v1s, it's much less useful when you're taking damage from all sides and shielding up to block damage gives other people more opportunity to steal your kill. I'd only really go for it if you like the clutch-specific movement. Consider trying out some light champs? Being squishy right off spawn is rough, but really makes you focus on your movement and they have some neat tricks to them. Try one of them when they're on free rotation and see how you like it Alternatively you could just sit on it for now, play DK until they make it slightly less ridiculous in ffa, and make your choice then.

On the one hand, being slightly over-tuned to begin with, and then pulling it back in line with everything else once people have had enough of a taste to see if they like it, can be a decent way to get people to actually play new characters instead of just ignoring them and sticking with their favourites. On the other hand, making new champs too powerful could risk making things feel like too much of a treadmill for people who don't have the champions pack.

The game actually has lag compensation, so you can click on people to shoot them instead of having to lead your rails by exactly as much as your ping like in the old days. As a bit of a natural consequence, you get situations where you ducked behind a corner or through a teleporter or something, but on their screen they shot you-50ms-ago and you die even though you thought you escaped. If you're the sort of person prone to raging out and blaming everything but yourself when you lose, it's an easy thing to point at to protect your ego.

Pomp posted:??? Surely they mean let call before a price bump Nah, they've been saying from the start that the champs pack is a limited time thing and it'll become f2p-monetization-only at some point. Which is gonna suck for anyone late to the party who's stuck with a f2p hellgrind instead of just being able to outright buy the game.

They did mention at one point that they'd come up with some other solution for custom games after they stop selling the champions pack. It'd be really weird if we got to 2020 and the only way to play a custom game was to know someone who was playing from the beginning.

Is there a secret keybind for switching characters or something? I ask because sometimes in the middle of a heated game I'll end up randomly respawning as a different character, and I know I've never pressed H at any point. It's really loving stupid.

Buff light stacks, nerf heavy stacks, and then some very strange ability nerfs? Constantly loving with projectile speeds so you have to relearn your airshots is pretty mediocre too.

You really think they'd buff the abilities that just got massively nerfed cooldown-wise though, instead of nerfing them even more. Also, how am I gonna get Disintegrator medals now that I can't cheese them in instagib?

Cut them down to 6 players instead of 8, games that only partially fill end up being really fun (when there's not a lovely bot deadweighting one of the teams, anyway).

It's really contextual, but generally the mg is considered the most versatile, while the starting shotgun is only gonna be used until you've picked up a real weapon.

Someone should build a tight, fast-paced arena fps as the obligatory multiplayer component for their single-player shootmans.

Did SyncError ever figure out that nobody wants ten minutes of staring at bars going up/matchmaking timer/voting/waiting for players in between every ten minutes of actually playing a fast-paced arena shooter?

Honestly when it was movement stuff like vq3 vs cpma and stuff like ranger orb and walljumps and slash crouchslides then it was kinda neat. The "press q to delete the guy you're looking at" abilities were real bad though. Especially when it was "here's a new champion with a really overpowered ability (except if you're also playing the same champion), pay up if you want to enjoy the game because we aren't going to nerf it until we've gotten every single dollar we can from it".
