I have heard of this game before but I never payed much attention to it, however today I decided to download it and give it a try. It is actually really fun. Check it out if you need something to help kill time.

Downloaded this game and tried it out. I used to like playing DotA alot (though I sucked at it), and this is just as fun!

Shame it's a micro-economy game though, some of those champions I would really like to play.

Mojobacca is my name on it.

Seeing as I still love to play DotA, I'll be trying this as soon as I get home.

Trassin is your name in LoL the same as on the forum?

Yes but the time I was planning on devoting to downloading it and trying it got used cleaning up my place and watching Lost instead, hopefully I'll get a chance to mess around with it tonight.

Won my first match!

I definitely feel like I suck though, it's like having to learn DotA items and skills all over from scratch... actually, that's exactly what it is.

I take it that you are "Trassin"?

I played a practice game yesterday to get a feel for the game and found out that I really enjoyed playing Gangplank (pirate!). Then I logged in today and found all the champions that were available were different than the ones from yesterday.

I was kind of shocked, but not too upset.

yeah it seems if you do not buy any of the champions it rotates through them, I like this keeps it interesting Smile

Yeah, I play as Trassin. I've been using the healer/support chick (not sure what her name is) so I can stay in the back and not die/feed to much until I learn more about the game. So far I'm definitely enjoying it though.

I especially like the recommended items, makes it soooo much easier starting out than it is in DotA.

I actually bought the game at work and it gave me 20 champions + some other junk well worth the 20 bucks

Need more BEBers! This game is awesome! And if we can get 7 more of us, we can do some 5v5 games against each other.

Even just 2 more would be enough so we can have our own team.

The only downside to the game is the long intial load for everyone. But after that, I've had no issues with latency.

you can play the game for free as well as no reason not to try it

Good points, since when have BEB'ers not jumped at a free game that three of us have already said rocks.

So if you ever try to log in and it says "Server Unavailable" there are a couple different steps that you can take to make it work but the final one is going to the screen and pressing arrow keys up, down, left, right, up, up, down, down. That's the one that fixed it for me.
