Or OMG what if we made DOTA but Hearthstone.

Damn we would be some serious innovators in the video game space. Nobody could ever think to do that.

it makes me sad. the people yearn for a new arena shooter but esports ready slop is what we're getting. it doesn't look fun at all and in terms of stuff like movement mechanics it's a clear devolution from team fortress and dumbing down of those things ala overwatch.

Just bring back GunZ: The Duel tbh

How dare you speak those holy words in my presence

How dare you make me remember

Honestly I think this game feels closer to Smite than Overwatch.

It's Smite but with more involved fps aiming and guns.

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

I never really played Smite unfortunately. Honestly I don't hate it, I just think it's fairly uninspired.

Felt like it didn't get a fair shake. There was a good game in there, just needed some polish and good matchmaking / ranked.

Predecessor is pretty much continuing paragon, with adjustments, of cours

[-] homicidalrobot@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Overprime died and predecessor is not long for this world. Interestingly, neither major reboot had the content of the final state of Paragon Global, and started from about six months of updates before closure of original paragon. They both reworked decks in a way I didn't really enjoy personally anyway

From a company that already has an fps moba series

Just make team fortress 3 if you really want to do that again

a Toyota Hilux in a lane is a MOBA.

Hey what if we could only count to 2

real game exec boardroom minutes

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago

What if it had loot boxes and a battle pass

[-] booty@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago

I'm on board but only if there's a cute teenaged girl that we can pile skins onto for extra profits

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Hey what if we have one enby character that never gets a single special edition skin but we have 10 different age ambiguous anime girls that get 15 different swimsuit edition skins.

I really like the game. Valve are doing some interesting things (rail system, movement in general) and I think it's generally just fun. There are some aesthetic things that need attention with the map and UI, but otherwise I'm optimistic

[-] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 11 months ago

It reminds me of what Paladins used to be and I already dig it for that alone

Plus Infernus. That man became my IMMEDIATE main fuck what ya heard

[-] Yor@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago

Infernous does sooo much damage so quickly kril-at-sea

I've been playing Abrams and Dynamo and he was awful to lane against as Dynamo lol

[-] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 11 months ago

I just saw Infernus's whole design, and the fact that his hat is definitely the same unusual my Pyro wears, and it was like I could hear the voice of the divine telling me "him, he's the one. That is Himothy." I've just gotta figure out how his everything links together to stack up is all

DOTA but Hearthstone

Artifact? Not sure what DOTA but Overwatch would be

To be honest, I think Dota Souls would be kinda cool.

[-] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago

The joke is that Valve are currently doing closed testing for a "DOTA but it's Overwatch" game.

[-] bigboopballs@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago

well, what is it called? I literally can't even find any information about it

[-] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

Deadlock, it's all over the place if you search "new valve game".

[-] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 6 points 11 months ago

Overwatch is already TF2 but with MOBA skillset

So now we have dota2 but distilled TF2

I don't dislike the idea, moba third person is cool but Smite's company kinda sucks. What I didn't like about the game is how much I feel like I'm playing dota 2 and I really don't like dota 2, my little brain can only comprehend league of legends.

[-] Breath_Of_The_Snake@hexbear.net 6 points 11 months ago

How are y’all already in? I thought this was closed lol.

[-] Yor@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago

it technically is, just once you have an invite you can invite your whole friends list lol. awoo invited a bunch of people here. do you want an invite to try?

[-] Breath_Of_The_Snake@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

I wouldn’t say no, but I’m not entirely sure on how steam opsec works and wouldn’t want to make it awkwardly

[-] Beetle_O_Rourke@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

I actually enjoyed Artifact, even made ~10 bux in steam wallet net from selling the included pack pulls on market day 0 and playing pauper exclusively until f2p.

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 6 points 11 months ago

Artifact was fun, it just wasn't fun enough and/or innovative and/or exciting enough to be successful.

[-] Stolen_Stolen_Valor@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

Why are there so many of these all of the sudden? Why in 2024?

There’s this one, Overwatch 2, Smite 2, the Marvel one, the but we have Marvel at home one, the anime girl one.

What gives?
