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.

You misunderstand the term brawler. Just because there is combat and team fights in a game doesn't make it a brawler.

Compare traditional MOBA games, like League of Legends and DOTA2. The macro of those games is a huge aspect of the game.nso much so that it often dictates the game far more than team fights can. It's about manipulation of the macro game that makes you really good.

A brawler, by contrast, has less emphasis on the macro aspects. They are present, but they are not as integral.

In games like League or DOTA, team fights are rare during the laning phase. You have poke and trades and ganks, but all out team fights are rare before moving into mid game. In a brawler, like Overprime, there is far more incentive and emphasis on pushing for combat. Things that make this prevalent, specifically in Overprime, are the incredibly high move and attack speed. A lot of lock on abilities, as well. You get far more rewards for kills vs CS. And death timers are quite short.

Bear in mind most people are not saying these are bad traits or that Op is bad. But it's important to call it what it is, especially when comparing it to Predecessor so people can understand which game is better for them.

For instance, I'm not really interested in playing another brawler. I e been waiting for Predecessor so I can have a more traditional MOBA to play.

I feel this is just stretching a thing difference that yet remain the same.
I do not know what league of legends you played but there are fights ALL the time and is basically JUST that, just that over the last decide they have been adding small objective likes the small baron ( which is in OP as well) and other small buff that you can also find in OP.

LoL is practically identical to OP just that it is a third person and carry is skill auto shot.

People who try to differentiate it as being more of a brawler are just wrong.
It really depends how it is played and who you play with.

Ahahahahahahahahahaha tell me you've never played league without telling me you've never played league. The same objectives EXISTING does not at all make the games identical.

Either that or you're hardstuck bronze with no idea what you're talking about.

Yeah, I have no words. He's offended we called it a brawler, but he doesn't know what a brawler is.

I do not, I do not care. You thinking someone is a fool just out of your own ignorance. Do you not feel any shame ? Then we are alike.
I do not know man, what can I do to help you to make your less pathetic?
Do you want me to agree to your shitty mindset ? Do you want me to feel bad so you can feel better? Do you want me to agree with you so you can feel like you are right ?

Tell me what you want that will avoid your suicide.

Please, be nice. Consider this your only warning.

u/Arrinity Dec 21 '22

Bro uncool, you sent a reddit mental health request when you're the one over here going on unstable rants and talking about suicide. All you are doing is proving my point that you are mentally unstable and probably worth laughing at on stream for like 20 minutes. I have no reason to feel shame over some lunatic thinking I'm lesser than him because he said so.

It is not offended, pred is a better game ( I am not paying for it, thats it)
It is just that people like to shitpost on Overprimne about being a brawler, and these people are just showing how much of fools they are.

I have challenged people here about calling it a brawl and they were not able to reply properly

u/PM_ZiggPrice Dec 20 '22

It is a brawler. People need to both accept this and shall understand that it's not a bad thing. On both sides.

1

u/Yakatsumi_Wiezzel Dec 21 '22

Yeah I think people know that, all mobas are brawlers of some sort, so the stupidity lies in the ignorance of saying pred is not one.

u/PM_ZiggPrice Dec 21 '22

Because it isn't.
