Subject: Strife (a new MOBA from S2, currently in closed beta)
Well, I like BBT, and I like some MOBA. Not all of them, though.

Damn .
Me sad!
It is all about those misogynistic pedophile gamer pigs, they hate me and they made S2 go bankrupt to make me sad .
No, seriously, I hope it will not die.

I am really bitter about this. I started with S2 Games...games since Savage 1. Especially firing Dogkaiser, Shade and Cell leaves a very bitter taste on my tongue. They have always been very close to the community and I recall skyping with them a few times :(
Official announcement in the forum:
https://strife.com/forums/thread/686.008 So hopefully, Strife will not die out, but it is still a pretty sad event.
I am pretty new to S2 Games, are Sell and Cell two different developers, Sigvatr?

My mistake! I was going off by what info we had. So Sell is still in, I HOPE Shade still is, but it really looks like DogKaiser is out :(
I really hope for the best of Strife. It's my favorite MOBA so far because it's so accessible and reinforces the team factor. I am so sick and tired of all the "pros" in other MOBAs and their continious trashtalking...well, until Heroes of the Storm will let me in. It will be a tough battle between those two
So you are playing Strife again? Care to add me ? I am still a bit fresh (level 15, 25 win, 46% win ratio, if that means something) but I am quite willing to learn. I had my Heroes allowance. I could let you play on my account if you want to try it out, since I have bought no game on it. Interested? I prefer Strife personally. It is likely related to the fact that it works natively on Linux, but not sure.
Also, Vex in Earthworm Jim costume is even more badass!

Oh, yeah, I do play again. Matchmaking still isn't good, but...well...it's ok for a few rounds and to me, it's the best MOBA out there. So far I'll add ya tomorrow. *looks at clock* Later today. Just getting some sleep first.
I'm just casual on it as well - right now, I'm lvl 17 with 115 wins and a 65% win ratio. Currently maining Vex - I love him. Tanky, lots of cc, wave clear, global teleport.
Thanks for the offer, I'll come back to it if that's ok, first gotta get some time!

Man, I really lost a lot of respect for S2 Games. They fired them without much warning, Shade even said that he was surprised by being fired and that nobody expected it. Man, that makes me sad.

So, interested in the Heroes stuff? I will need to change the password before because (I know it is pretty bad practice) it is a password I use at a bunch of other places.

So, race to level 70 :
https://strife.com/forums/thread/676.004 It has been announced a bit late, some people had time to get a high level already, those are advantaged now. And anyway, it seems too grindy and not really fun or hard to do. Just bot-match to death with a premade of good player, finding the way to defeat the bot that is the fastest.

The monkey really do not look original, I am pretty sure every moba has some Monkey King wannabe nowadays. Damn, people, do you not know that Sangoku did it better already .
That fire lady is okay in the art, but her model in-game looks very good. And she is in check with the no excessive sexualization trend of Strife, which is pretty nice.

It was quite a challenge to design a version of this guy that would be unique/hadn't been made in another game yet (as you mentioned, basically every MOBA seems to have one). That said, I think you'll like what we've come up with. He shares similar attributes (is a monkey, relatively mobile) but the skills are a little more unique.
Regional partners tend to suck .

Probably Tencent, they usually do this.

Do you mean aesthetics and lore-wise, or gameplay-wise?

Jin She looks a bit hard to play right, but OMFG SHE LOOKS SO GOOD IN-GAME!
I will try to resist until I get my last star on Claudessa, but after that I am totally going to start playing Jin-She!

Seems to me like getting the best out of her A and E and ult is going to be quite tricky.

I tried playing Jin-She solo, and she looks so nice! Her ultimate seems very hard to use efficiently though.

Ranked has arrived, and… I am freaking GOLD! Can you believe it?
Divisions:
Diamond (5 points) = Elo is in the top 99% - 100% of all players.
Gold (4 points) = Elo is in the top 90% - 99% of all players.
Silver (3 points) = Elo is in the top 70% - 90% of all players.
Bronze (2 points) = Elo is in the 30% - 70% of all players.
Slate (1 point) = Elo is in the 0% - 30% of all players.
So I am in the 10% top player? I cannot believe it!
I bet Siegvatr is Diamond already ^^.
I just played a match, but I did not get my Ladder points though, not sure why…
