Reports of Battleborn's demise are greatly exaggerated edition.

>What is this?
A new FPS-MOBA from Gearbox. It's Borderlands without the memes, and has MNC-style PvP game modes.

>Should I buy it?
It's fun. You can grab it for $30 on keysites. It's also on sale on Amazon for $40.

Do the PvP elements of this game have toned down voice clips? Because I watched a friend fight that spider boss and the boss repeated his voice lines so much I considered suicide.
>>
>>145225421
Geoff is THE worst offender in the game and we all hate him for it.
The rest of the bosses in the game have significantly fewer quotes than that.

PvP's voice clips are all field announcements like in League, your character's standard grunts and kill-things quotes, and their own 'player spotted' quotes.
Those last ones have a set of unique lines for about a fourth of the cast, and are pretty flavorful, so they might not make sense if you don't touch the PvE.

The main issue with Alani's Geyser was that when I was hit by it I thought I was hit with an pseudo-ult.

Geyser says 1 second but it's ~0.75 sec on the way up 1 second in the bubble and another like~0.5 on the way down. I thought it was just a knockup and down that lasted 1 second in total transit going up and down. Her ult is so fucking good but it just shits on Ambra's so hard whose ult is just plain ass until level 10 in which then it's just okay so it's just the worst out of all the aoe ults.

Alani's ult isn't that great. Easy to land, pretty pathetic damage for an ult (Seriously half the time I'm hit by it I don't even realize it because of how little damage the initial hit does). It's the fact that she can guarantee the initial hit by sticking it, and the DoT afterwards that makes it dangerous, but you can just walk out of the DoT.

I will never miss the fact that I've just been hit by Ambra's ult.

I have him at rank 13, he's one of my top 3 characters played - he needs help. His tool kit is fine once he has everything, it just takes too long for him to get there.

>>145286474

I remember seeing Shayne and Auroxes all the time, and never had a problem dealing with any of them. Then all of a sudden I stopped seeing Shayne and Auroxes. I fully admit I don't play her, I wasn't very impressed with her kit.

As for ISIC, he did need nerfing but he got nerfed too much. He's pretty much made out of paper now and is only dangerous when his ult is up and he's hiding behind teammates or minions.

>he gets pushback instead of slow sticky + damage amp
>and then proceeds to say he has no damage

I bet you get the triple sticky too instead of sap sticky so you can get headshots easier.
>>
>>145287070

The slow was the CC I was talking about. Pushback is for idiots who don't know how to quick melee.

I usually take the triple sticky because three slowed targets instead of just one is usually more useful to my team, but I've been coming around to using stick n' sap more often. Still only does better damage on a target that has shields up, 342 damage from sap + nade on health vs. 348 from triple stick nade.
>>
>>145287608
Yeah but like I said, getting those shields down faster makes your job easier since you get those sweet crits.

While I understand that argument for triple sticky, there's rarely a point where the enemy team is grouped in a way that you can do that reliably. It also lowers the Napalm area when that comes around, so that sucks. Sap is just more consistent.
>>
>>145287796

Doesn't have to be another player, can be any other target that I would want to have slowed, and it doesn't have to be three targets, even two is fine. Dropping two stickies on a pocket healer and one on his target is a great opportunity for my team to shut the combo down.
>>

Hey /btbg/, I've been eyeballing this game for a couple weeks, and pay just came in. I don't want to spend the full $60 on a game with a smaller player base though, so I want to get it through a key site, what's the best/safest one around with a decent price?

>>145277153
Ambra's ult takes forever to start up.
Alani's does around the same damage and is easy to hit the foe with some of the blast.

Ambra's stuns after a long startup while Alani's either heals hard, slows heavily or is a CD reset.

No point in picking Ambra when Miko, Alani and Reyna exist. they either offer more utility, heals, cc or matching damage. Ambra needs heavy levels to get going.

ISIC can still work but like Kleese he is super easy to hard counter if you abuse his headshot hitbox or in Kleese's case massive body that is impossible to miss and really shit base defenses (worst in the game by a landslide).

-Whiskey's issues is that his Shrapnel is absolute ass and it's helixes ae either terribawful or on the same level with mandatory ones like sticky slows.
-He gets cockblocked by shield
-Laggy animations that cut into his dps times
-No escape
-dps outside of ult isn't that great, it's okay sustained and burst
-Hard to fit on teams because he competes with many other BB and they provide more then him.

had to stop playing the game for about two weeks because of potato internet.

Just got done playing 6 games and I gotta say I like the way they have changed the matchmaking. There still seems to be a problem with not enough people playing capture and what not just yeah I got matches fast as you like.

Now all they need to do is make it so I can actually get more than 10fps on Echelon and everything will be great forever

I think Toby is just really hard to play. His play pattern isn't really obvious and requires a lot of battlefield awareness and map knowledge, but I've played against some Tobys where it's just like OH FUCK WHERE DID ALL THIS DAMAGE CCOME FROM?
>>
>>145300084

iddk, Attikus gets is for free and it's pretty sweet.

If you cccan get them low enough to force a reccall while you stay healthy, that sounds like a win for me.
>>
>>145301839


It is surprisingly hard. There is a lot of knowledge to gain, so I advise just finding a characccter that you think is ccool and sticck with them for a while until you get a handle on the game.

Also I enjoy taking the time to learn the lore and listen to dialogue and stuff. There is a lot of fun to be had.

Also Attikus is the best you should totally play him tho realtalk Montana is a strong choice for noobiez.

Yea, the slow start is why I didn't put him up there.

Right now, there are characters who can play super aggressive right out the gate, be rewarded in kills, and vastly outlevel the other team and be guaranteed a stomp. If you're against a team that is focused this way, Attikus is useless.

iddk, I acctually feel that Attikus has an extremely strong early game that scales really well.

I find his weakness is that I feel like he is primarily a duelist and a guy who punishes mistakes extremely harsh and doesn't have mucch for group fights unless he has ult w/ 5 charges or his team goes in hard on someone he stuns.

Essentially he feels really situational and requires teamwork to truly shine.

Real talk, I can see you git gud w/ Ambra and then git gud with Orendi.

In general, supp in Battleborn are pretty hardcore assholes and for the longest time I thought Ambra was a dmg mage ccuz she killed so mucch.

Both of their play patterns are pretty similar with both of them foccusing on zone ccontrol for dmg and generally avoiding enemies while getting kinda close to lay out the pain.

idk, I've found the flaws of those characcters to be pretty pronounced when you force them out. As Attikus I've wreccked many an Osccar Mike and Marquis to force reccalls and allow for my team to put out some sweet pressure.

At the end of the day, I don't feel like any of those characters have such amazing strengths (aside from CHEESE) that their lack of deep play pattern flaws really matters.

Played the beta, had lots of fun with Phoebe and Orendi. My concern is how many players are there on PS4?

It can vary by time and game type.

Despite being the fastest of the three game types, Capture is the deadest.

Incursion and Meltdown are ok. Like maybe 4-5 minutes at the worst.

Bringing people along with you helps out. Your region will also make a difference. I'm from USA, which doesn't seem to have much in the way of population problems.

Attikus is extremely easy to focus, which is why he plays like an assassin instead of a tank. It's very rare that he'll ever be right in the thick of his team.

>>145332009

An assassin has to make sure their target doesn't have someone who can rush in and save them.

Attikus can absolutely kill any non-tank character with a combination of Pounce Stun, Hedronic Quickening, and his legendary gear slow, before they have a chance to disrupt him or someone arrives to help.
>>
>>145340404
This. I've also had a lot of success doing the same ccombo on isolated tanks. I feel that if he gets the stun off, Attikus can kill anyone in a 1v1, especially if they don't have a move to escape with.

And at full ccharge his ult is stupid good and can win any teamfight.

That nice. Attickus needs his Legendary to even remotely function.

Pounce is his only escape and only stuns if they hit the wall and you have no way of knowing 100% how your collision will displace the foe because that shit is unpredictable. Also Pouncing to initiate is utter suicide because 9/10 they have an ally sitting in the back backing them up and 1v1's are rare f the team doesn't split up like chickens. Anything Attickus can do other do it better of match him but don't need the planets to align.
>>
>>145351974
and you never bunch up together to the point Attickus cone for his ult strikes all of you.

>That nice. Attickus needs his Legendary to even remotely function.

He can take a slow on his pounce over a life steal if he doesn't have his legendary, ends up with basically the same effect.

>if they hit the wall and you have no way of knowing 100% how your collision will displace the foe because that shit is unpredictable.

It really isn't, and I hate throwing this around but if you have trouble stunning people with pounce you just need to git gud.

>Pouncing to initiate is utter suicide because 9/10 they have an ally sitting in the back backing them up and 1v1's are rare f the team doesn't split up like chickens.

I keep saying he plays like an assassin and you keep assuming Attikus players are incapable of finding situations where they can get a player alone. It happens. Quite a bit. Even in a 2v1, getting stunned by Pounce is extremely disorienting, and that is all Attikus needs to kill one of the two before they can interrupt him. That's how fast he can kill someone. The only other character who can 100-0 someone as quickly as Attikus is Phoebe, and she usually has to blow her Ultimate to do it.

I have NEVER been in a situation where I couldn't stun someone with Pounce. Usually I can get at least a player and a few bots as well.

However, >>145369775 I've been able to 100-to-0 people, but typically die to the second person before being able to get away.

I have also been told that Montana of all people is better at Thrall camps than Attikus, which is stupid.
>>
So is the console community large enough to sustain itself?

I own the game and have already put quite a few hours into on Xbox One, while I'd prefer PC, I feel as though 1k players is far too small to sustain it but we don't have specific numbers on consoles.

I'd agree honestly. Montana has an easier time critting and his shoulder barge is much easier to land stuns with.
