You get more once you get into matchmaking, but don't rush into it. Make sure you have some kind of semblance of what to do with your character.
Streaming some BLC with one of my teammates. Watch some scrubs be bad. [url]http://www.justin.tv/thebrassthief[/url]
So I've been playing Igniter in Iron League and I gotta tell you, it's pretty funny. Every other game, I get people from both teams asking me what that "laser beam" ability is. Nobody seems to know what EX abilities are, and they get really surprised when I tell them they have 2 whole new abilities they're not using.
Some EX abilities are not that great. I never use my EX charge on Guardian. EX sweep is amazing tho.
If anyone is playing right now, join the channel facepunch, I'm looking for someone to play against.
[QUOTE=Fippe;27443155]My opinions on bloodlines currently available:
Glutton - Incredibly meaty killer. Best tactic is to beeline to enemy healer and rape her dead, then kill mages, assassins and last other tanks. I've been playing this bloodline a lot, so I may be biased, but he is INCREDIBLE.
Alchemist - Your average healer, has a lot of CC skills - Sleep vial, lethal injection, clarity potion. Barrier is really good skill, and it can save so many lives. Important mentions: Sleep vial is cancelled if you deal any effects/damage to target, clarity potion is useful to break casts and lethal injection deals more damage to people near your target than to your target.
Igniter - Ranged high damage. Left-click is quite useless, rightclick can deal ridiculous amounts of damage. Remember to use your invulnerability (r) and stun a lot, because your hp is ridiculously low.
Ranid Assassin - In my opinion, weakest of current open classes. Quite popular, and can deal high damage. Devastates people 1v1. Poison darts heal yourself and slow your opponents, which makes it a useful skill. Remember that you deal stuns when you attack with your LMB from stealth and that lunge blinds your opponents. Ultimate is a bit lackluster. Frog jump is quite high damage, try to land next to your enemies with it. The pause between it makes it less than great for escaping, use lunge and invisibility for that.[/QUOTE]

Glutton is one of the best tanks in the game. Alchemist is one of the best healers and I constantly see amazing people playing her. Alchemist and Psychopomp have a lot of really good people playing them.

Ranid has the potential to be one of the best guys in the game if you have a team that knows what you are doing. When playing arena, all you need to do is constantly dodge and have all your team mates focus on one single guy. Then just wait it out until sudden death and kill them when there is no sunlight.
I'm playing right now if anyone wants to play with me.

and if enemy team knows how to do anything they have wiped your team out by that point since you aren't contributing to the fight
this is exactly the reason why ranids usually suck

never got in beta so I cannot compare bloodlines properly yet
I've seen some nice psychopomps though.
SnailPlant happened upon my BLC stream and we played a few matched. GG's.

Not if your entire team is Ranids. If you have a well organized team everyone should be at full health at the end of the regular and end up winning the sudden death because of their leech health.

Oh my God we are going to hell for that match. rofl

Their fault for sucking at killing ranids. Also, might be getting the champion upgrade tonight or tomorrow because I want more heroes.
This is fun. I really like it, and the similarities to LoL and DoTA are nice, but the differences are what make it refreshing.
My only big problem is that on certain maps, and on any maps especially if there are >6 people, I lag like a bitch.
It's not connection lag, and it's not like this game is Crysis 3.0, nor is my computer shitty. I play tf2 and l4d2 on high all the time, and I never lag quite like I do in this, and I have my settings on low.
I'm guessing that it's horrible optimization.
Eh I played this game a bit. It's fun but there's not much to do. After buying a Bloodline or two there's nothing worth spending coins on.
I really like the tribal aesthetic of everything. Plus the gameplay isn't bad and it's free so.
i played this during closed beta
it's pretty fun i suppose
i guess i should update lol
I think Astronomer is my new favorite Bloodline. He's like Guardian but more heal, less tank and a fucking LASER for an ultie.
Fuck yea played as Glutton with premade team, I went from grade 2 to 5 in like 4 games.
Would also like to recommended it to anyone who haven't tried it yet, awesome game.

[QUOTE=Banned?;27402845]It's not like LoL.[/QUOTE]
It's the summoner abilities and shop of LoL, the menu and matchmaking of HoN and their own original take on DOTA. What's not to like?
Courtesy bump. BLC is active and awesome. [url=http://www.bloodlinechampions.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=8010]I stream every few days[/url] so if you want to follow and check the game out from someone who (somewhat) knows what they're doing, please do so.
I bought the Champion Edition (customer support gave bloodlust upgrade for free) about a week ago and it's definitively worth the $30 ($40 w/ bloodlust)
I recommend anybody interested in playing this buy one of the editions soon because the pre-order bonus will be gone in a bit.
I start setting up a megathread and of course banned already has one up :P
I'm not letting my banner go completely to waste

I like it. Added.
I <3 Thorn and Glutton
I play Glutton when I want to troll and don't feel like thinking.
He's still fun but man is he easy.
I play Thorn mostly, I'm grade 18. Me and two friends won a little tournament last weekend running Thorn double Astro, I think we're playing in it again today.
My main in Alchemist. Sadly. All I do is SMM. I play Harbinger occasionally too.
my main is alch too,but that's cause I'm playing as a free acc,but still,she'll be the first hero I buy,sleep/poison erryday :3:
if anyone wants to play with me,nickname is: negaren
