Why the heroes feel a bit lackluster imo

[gamelover]

I've loved valve games but after playing a bit it feels like the heroes in this are not very engaging because the game just has such a high time to kill. If hero abilities don't revolve around a fast-paced shooter feel, the tension just feels absent.

In what ways are abilities not paired well?

You need to share this feedback in the feedback forum, not the hero ideas forum.

it wouldn't be a moba if it had low ttk, mobas don't work that way. it looks like ur looking for something more like valorant or cs. The tension in this game is not supposed to be split second snap aiming, rather mind games that combine movement, mechanics, and understanding of the game as a whole.

in league of legends, tanks and assassins can and will kill you in a fraction of a second before you can even react, some other characters only need one single combo to stun and kill you which does not require any skill and barely any mana so the only counterplay is either killing those characters in a fraction of a second before they can react, or passivity avoiding them altogether. Needless to say, that game feels a bit lackluster.

Yeah, I'm not sure you understand this gameplay very well. There's plenty of tension in it... If you're not constantly achieving something then the enemy is getting ahead of you. You need to be farming, or split pushing, or team fighting, or defending or doing the spirit urn, or buying items. Any time spent aimlessly walking around the map is time that the enemy has against you. You've got to find the most efficient paths to get from point A to point B, and be in the right place at the right time.

Then the team fights have limitless potential in where you've got to position yourself. Are you running behind them to cut their retreat off? Are you taking cover until your ult is up? Do you save your team? Are you death from above?

One bad team fight, or even one out of place death can lead to a loss. I'm not sure where you're not feeling the tension.
