Its literally the treepocalypse. Every non-evergreen tree decided that it could totally catch 30cm+ of wet, heavy snow on it's still-leafy branches and be fine. Rip trees. On the plus side it's supposed to be like 27 degrees next week :/ | ||

Stuff builds fast and you are cranking out units and fighting within 2-3 minutes. It has a really simple graphics style, which is nice and the units feel different enough that you will want to build a diverse army. The game is the big dumb romp you expected and you can totally crash a moon into a planet, which resolves all problems on that planet. The fights are neat and the angle you approach matters a lot. Terrain matters, but the AI does some targeting questionable shit. Its as real spam fest, but that’s fun. Minor problems: No standard spawns leads to some really random matches. There doesn’t seem to be a good reason to go to tier 2 units unless your opponent is on another planet. Even then, its super hard to invade. Traveling between planets is kind cumbersome, though the warp gate(fucking stargate from stargate, works just like it and transports unlimited units) mitigates that. But getting built on a bunkered up planet is a chore(aka, not that much fun). Nukes mitigate that, but then anti nukes slow everything down. I sort of just wanted to drop 100000 drop pods with robots on the planet, but that doesn't seem to be a thing. I need to spend more time with the game, but it seems good. Right now I am just struggling with figuring out how not to die in multiplayer. The sound track is good. So its no SC2, but it’s a fun game to fuck around with and the scale is epic. | ||

He is good hero, but I don't think a lot of people know how to play him. I live in fear of anyone who plays chen and their ability to feed gold directly to the enemy team. | ||

He was pretty good. Used heals, nuked people a little and microed creeps. And when I wanted to push he was all like "Thats like my only purpose". I knew I was in for a good game when I questioned the chen pick and he responded "Have faith, I can press my buttons." Thats half the battle. | ||

He's honestly not that hard to play though. Once you figure out how to come out of the woods with a consistent level 5, everything else is pretty straightforward. Good micro isn't as important as people think it is. I guess his problem in the current meta is he falls off impossibly hard after 30ish minutes, but even then I don't really get why he isn't in "Lets push and win before 25 minutes" lineups. | ||

Chen is all about positioning, and alot of people think chen falls off really hard, but it depends on how you play, chen can farm really fast if you practice it alot if he so chooses and can get fast utility items and make your team unkillable. | ||
