We have a new home! Thanks so much for making us our OT, Zackat. Come join us, Era -- this really is one of the most polished games you'll ever play on your phone. Highly addictive; very competitive; extremely generous with its free heroes.

I'll try the LoL clone considering how much I was addicted to LoL back in the day. I would prefer to play on Switch, but I'll settle with my phone until that happens.

Are matches as long as LoL?

nowhere near as long. I have had some go 25 minutes before, but that was due to teammates who didn't know when to end the thing and is in no way a normal occurence.

I've played around 11 Matches so far, and while all of them were over 12 Minutes long, none of them passed the 17 Minute mark.

So, quite short compared to LoL

This. So much this

Awesome OT Zackat!! Hopefully we get a few more players around here. I have spent an embarrassing amount of time playing this game sine its release, already level 24

Great OT. I had tried Vainglory, but just couldn't get into it despite having played MOBAs before. However I'm really enjoying this and having a lot of fun with it.

I was wondering if I should put a little note in the platform section for switch coming soon or not. I don't want there to be any confusion that it is on there right at this moment, though it is coming.

Man only 2 games but I have dominated.. odd to say but the controls are incredibly well implemented and I feel like I have better control of my hero than I did she 2k hours on dota ... I would love for this to come on switch so I can try it on there though

Can someone tell me how to choose targets with the auto attack? I was killing it then my character stopped attacking the tower to go for the enemy player which didn't end so well.

Turn on "Minions and Towers" in the control settings, you'll get two separate smaller buttons next to the main attack button where you can prioritize focusing down a tower or minions when another hero is nearby.

You should also turn on the option that makes you focus the hero with lowest hp, not hp%. This will help you focusing on the squishy carries instead of the massive tanks.

Also, Grakk is awesome. The hook sets up some fantastic plays and its the best feeling when you manage to grab the enemy carry into your team and CC him to death.

Wow, didnt know that, Thanks.

So far i'm enjoying, but it still pretty simplified compared to dota. Getting a lot of crashes too. The most strange thing in this game so far for is the Agro. Creeps seems to be drifinting towards me sometimes. Weird.

yeah it's weird how when someone from the other team aggroes a mob and it runs out to get them, if it comes near to me in a bush it will stop attacking them and hit me. seems kinda weird. If it dropped its aggro on the attacker shouldn't it leash all the way back?

Nice OT. Been playing this lots recently. Question, should I pick just 2 roles and focus on them, I quite like tank and marksman and how do I know what lanes to choose?

Is there an EU resetEra guild?

Sure, I will give it a chance, despite never quite managing to get hooked on a moba. Maybe the short match times will help my case.

Nice OT. Ive played a few games and I like it quite a bit.

Ive tried searching for the guild, but it tells me it doesnt exist. Ive made sure to type the name correctly. Does being on android or in the eu have anything to do with it?

I love this game. I've played more of this in the past couple weeks that any other game. I can't wait for the Switch version, I hope it's all cross-compatible

Haha, I saw that too. We got wrecked up - your Ormarr is very nice. How do you play him? I'm looking for someone Tanky to play.

That was mostly my teammates that game. So far I have only played him jungling. I buy the jungle item then start at blue buff so I can spam my skills on jungle camps. By the time I clear both sides I'm level 4 and usually try to help bottom lane while I wait for camps to respawn. As for build I try to rush the jungle item to the 3rd level along with boots to start. The gold farm doesn't seem that great but due the exp buff from the jungle item I can usually get a couple level lead against the enemies. That said I am kinda just winging it so I'm not sure how good this plan actually is. Oh and it can really back fire if your team starts to take your jungle camps.

Does this have Vulkan support on Android phones like Vainglory does? If not yet I suspect it should later when they port it to Switch

I searched around and couldn't find anything. You're probably right though.

Game absolutely rules. I'm ridiculously hooked and I've never played a MOBA in my life. This is a great starting point for those new to the genre
