[QUOTE=blubafoon;28327306]It's much more skill-based than most games, i'll give you that, but at long as one class is even slightly better than another it will never be 100% skill based.[/QUOTE]
Better how? I've seen good Alchemist destroy Harbinger. I've seen Thorn beat Nomad. I've seen Seeker beat Ranid. This is a shockingly well balanced game where a vast majority of team compositions work. Whether you think so or not, everything about BLC is skill based.

Yeah I agree totally, I love this game and it is generally a very even playing field in terms of classes, but unless everyone has identical abilities, etc., there will always be factors other than skill which impact who wins or loses.
I am not arguing that this game isn't very skill-based, just that their are other things involved, such as which class you are playing.
Basically, I'm arguing something pretty pointless, and everyone should just ignore me.
[QUOTE=Bonzai11;28326833]Started playing this morning, this game is just amazing. The even playing field makes it such a great game.
Also what affects your grade? I'm grade 6 and level 5, been just straight up raping with harbringer.[/QUOTE]
I'm level 9 grade 2 lol..
Level doesn't matter. Grade matters more, but still doesn't mark someones skill that much. (Despite what I said in the OP.)
[QUOTE=Shortyish;28304534]i used to play this, psychopomp is the best healer, and thorn is the best tank. that is all.

Thorn Yes, about 20 times. Pomp No.

Thorn isn't the best (he's up there) in fact he's really bad in 2v2s.
Pomp le mousse isn't the best but is really strong.
I'm down for a 3v3 team if you guys want to get one together.
[QUOTE=Leaf Runner;28315892]-snip-
I absolutely love this game and I also own the Bloodlust edition w/ pre-order bonus. Add me, username is RevolverBobcat.

Please elaborate on the game feeling "sloppy".
Also, it's not even close to WoW. WoW's PVP is just spamming all your cooldowns, hoping you get lucky (critical hits, dodges, damage ranges), plus person with better equipment usually wins. This game's combat is purely skill based though, you have to build a good playing style and strategy for the bloodline you're playing.[/QUOTE]
Player movement feels crude, screen is force locked, multiple people can play the same bloodline.

He isn't at all, problem is people complain about him all the time.
I run Thorn Astro in 2v2 ladder, we just hit grade 19, 2044 points. :3

A well played Pomp can destroy. Some of the best healers I've seen were Pomps.

I'll give you one guess why that is. Hint: Rhymes with overpowered

Thorn is theoretically bad in 2v2 because his R is useless, so you're forced to stack fungal spores to do more dps which basically means you're playing like a bad glutton.
I think Inhibitor > thorn.
[QUOTE=Leaf Runner;28337368]I think Inhibitor > thorn.[/QUOTE]
Inhibitor is the definition of a nuisance. You can't ignore him or else he will DPS you down, you can't focus him or else he'll kite you to the ends of the earth.

If you let him build his ult he will destroy you

Played this with Pomp like 5 times yesterday during ladder
Carried my ass since I had no clue how to play Harb or Seeker
She actually does pretty decent damage for a healer
I actually want to learn Inhibitor because I think he is good and an absolute pain in the ass but I find him hard to play.
Inhibitor fucking rapes.
Same as Pomp.
Although, I wouldn't go as far as saying Inhib is overpowered. Pomp definitely.
He's not OP, just fucking annoying and hard to deal with.
Oh, I remember this. I played the beta, I still have it installed, I think.
I never liked it :frown:
Inhib is OP, and he's very simple to play.
Left click and stack ++ damage debuff on who you hit while dealing decent damage.
Right click and heal yourself while stacking a -- attack damage debuff on them.
Rune barrier high priority targets all day.
Every shot of your ulti applies 3 stacks of your two debuffs to enemy champs. (they only stack up to 3 times though so basically max stacks)
pomp just wins any and all matches

Not really, you just have to bait them into hitting you and then pop R
Also it's good versus Astronomers when you're a good player. He uses his trance, don't hit him, his only choice is to space or moonstone. If he spaces, I follow with my space, then all he has is moonstone. I hit R, stone doesn't hit me, Astro dies.

Not really, anytime we fight a team with an inhib, We just keep him CC'd while we kill his teammate.

Ok lets get some FP teams
[editline]28th February 2011[/editline]
Also can someone PM me if the female herald of insight goes on sale? I don't check every day and I don't want to miss it!!!
[editline]28th February 2011[/editline]
Just carried so hard as a thorn. Was basically the only DPS. I was banking that they would be bad and they were, they fed my root shield a bit. My blood priest wasn't retarded, he got some sick stuns off and some ok fears. He needed to fear the stupid maraca bitch more though :c
My nomad was so bad, blew spacebar at spawn to get in first. Always got FF'd down.
Round 1 the pomp started kiting me so I went into fuck it mode, spore'd their nomad, spacebar'd over to the maraca bitch, knocked her up, fungal spores, and ate her HP bar letting my nomad live. Thorn is just so op.

Nomads can deal out some absolute rape, but it seems like mostly retards plays them and its so common for people to choose. I'm good with nomad, but I always have to change to a melee or tank so the team won't suck with 3-4 nomads on one team :/
Nomad was so fucking annoying when she was free. I really hate the fact that she can move and use her ulite at the same time.
In 2v2 double nomads is a valid strat. Tornado CC all day!
Only Bloodline to have two chances to hit everything. -_-
