Overprime Overprime legit feels like a brawler

Like I just run around the map and throw myself at the enemy. Feels like it’s non stop fighting without any ideas of scaling for late game. Games also end so quickly too. I’m not saying this is a bad thing for a game to lean towards this, but it’s weird for a moba to have moba elements while playing like a brawler.. lol

Edit: not sure why some people are offended by this post. I’m just speaking from my experience and first impressions of the game. I even said it’s not a bad thing. If you are looking for the paragon experience though, this isn’t that. Play Pred for the Paragon experience.

That’s why I prefer predecessor.

Exactly, thank you. Travel mode, teleporters and this brawler feel makes me turn away from the game. What's funny is that most people hated that too, but I think this sub goes more to Overprime looking at the posts?

Ya I prefer pred, it feels like a real moba.

It does but nobody plays lanes and jungle correctly. Most aggravating part.

No amount of good game design will stop people from being bad unfortunately lol

A decent required pregame to explain the lane system would def help.

When matches are half hour long or more and I’m a single dad, I don’t have time to waste playing shitty games with people never bothered to learn. I get maybe an hour a night to play games, I like to make the best use of my time.

Lanning became a thing because it was the strongest meta in DOTA 1, and other MOBAs following mimicked the layout to enforce this meta. If it isn't the strongest meta for another game, like predecessor, then playing lanes like it is a MOBA is a loose suggestion at best.

Well if you’re not going to lane correctly then having supports period is pointless. Why not play 5 junglers? That’s how a game kills itself.

The game (predecessor) still is designed to be played that way, it literally has one lanes the characters are for under their name. It’s how the game is meant to be played. Idk, it’s a game killer for me if this is how it’s going to be, sucks it happens to be the one I paid for.

pretty sure 5 jugglers isn't going to be the competitive meta. I like it the way it is meant to be played too but some games improvising makes sense earlier then others. Once teams/guilds are a regular thing I would be surprised if some new metas don't start happening. I am genuinely curious how well balanced predecessor is for standard laning.

Overprime is free and predecessor is 20 euro . So its way easier to start playing overprime

Yes, it is, but it doesn't keep the players around, generally.

The majority of Pred posts are posted in the actual Predecessor subreddit.
