I'm a long time dota/hon player and I'm just picking it up and I like the initial feeling, but I can't tell if there is actually depth to it or if I'm just enjoying learning new characters in a new environment after being used to the same 60.

btw my in-game name is n0tjack if any tl'ers wanna bro out

Frostwrench on the EU server, liking the game so far btw but seems like there could be some interesting strategies seeing the amount of CC there is in the game, and a fair amount of skill seeing how you have to aim with practically everything

After playing HoN, and LoL for way too long I would love for a change of pace. I know several people mentioned having keys before, but this might be easier than PMing several different people to see if they have keys. I tried the ones posted publically, and they didn't seem to work, so PM me please, and thanks

I used to play this, but 7 skills are just way too much too handle if you never tried dota/hon before

Game's been launched today!
Recommended to anyone who likes fast paced action.In it's essence BLC is more similar to a steroid-FPSs like quake rather than Moba's like HoN/DotA/LoL.

No levels, mana, every single skill is a skillshot, it's pretty pure.There are tournaments hosted every saturday with live casting at http://www.blgtv.net/

BLC is seriously a quality product, it just needs more players to blow up

They just made the game even more awesome with the new patch. Upgraded GUI, better looking ulties and graphics, new weapons and skins.

People need to check it out if they havn't already. It's free.

My friends and I are thinking of playing, but we're still in the "trying it out to see if we like it" phase. Will probably let y'all know if we decide to give it an extended look hopefully this weekend.

a little review

ithe game is a hybrid between WoW Arena and Dota battles, with LoL elements like gfx feel, microtransactions and such, minus the inherently imbalance factors - read below

it's basically completely skill dependent since all abilities are cooldowns without capped resources like mana, random procs, crits, or items, runes, stuff like this to fuck it up.

and it's complex too, 6 core abilities per class, and one ultimate + 2 variations on 2 of the basic skills dependant on an energy system. good tutorials and you can play against bots to learn shit. plus the classes are neatly grouped by explicit criteria (tanks, ranged, healers, melee) so it's newbie friendly as well

the gui is good as well, and easy to understand what goes where in minimal time

don't like the microtransaction model for any game myself, but it looks better here than with LoL, where it also causes huge imbalances, so it might be worth to drop a buck, and/or play till you get enough game currency to unlock stuff over time

give it a try if you're shy about it, it's easy to install and get into, i recently got back into it and i'm still looking around seeing what's up after having played the beta few months ago, but so far, the improvements since beta seem to be remarkable

also, this thing has good potential for esports growth too if the developers want to go that route

Was playing the free version for about an hour- it's pretty fun.

After playing so much LoL, the control scheme is kind of crazy. Instead of right clicking to get around and using QWER, you're using WASD to move and QERF+Right Click+Left Click for abilities. This doesn't make the controls overly complicated by any means, but your fingers might fumble around for a few games as you try to memorize which button does what.

I might actually invest $30 in to this. I would love to have all the heroes and not have to grind for them. The $83 bundle is ridiculous but $30 seems reasonable, if my friends play it at least.
