I completely forgot about this after E3.
I didn't. It had some good ideas, and I'm sad to see it go, even if it's published by EA.
It had some good ideas, but unfortunately the market for MOBAs is still overcrowded.
Shame, but expected. The MOBA genre seems so impenetrable right now, most people are either playing DOTA or LoL. And if it's neither of those it'll be SMITE and that seems just about it.
At least refunds are going out.
For what it was, it was pretty good. I thought it looked nice and played well. Shame it's going under, but what can you do?

It's a pity, too. Despite League and Dota and Smite being fun, we still look for interesting new mechanics to freshen things up. The idea of being able to harass the mineral line, laying claim to the resource nodes to increase your team's gold gain, THAT is a neat idea, adding more for roamers to do than just gank, not to mention. Having abilities be augmented by using another ability beforehand? PUT IT INSIDE ME. Also I really liked Maya, the melee otter girl whose Ult was essentially Come On And Slam, Welcome To The Jam.
Well that's a shame, it was a lot of fun...
