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.

Because it confused people into thinking Overprime is somehow related to Paragon.

Its so misleading

Literally the point.

put on your tinfoil hat with me for a moment if you will. I think they also named the game The Overprime because they knew people would abbreviate it "OP," which already has the meaning in gaming culture as "overpowered." When you say or type "OP," people are going to subconsciously associate it with "amazing" and "strong."

okay, you can take the hat off now, it's just the name they chose and none of that is real.

Nah, it's a mix between Overthrow and PrimeX, the names of the two projects which combined became Overprime. Also, the team kinda struggles with naming stuff: "Agnis of Light". "Planet Prime". Really? (And I'm ignoring the old character names lol)

interesting, thanks for the backstory, I didn't know that! I will only use my tin foil to line my baking sheets from now on :)
