My Champion name will apparently be Deaddin, if that can be added to the OP
Also, not sure if it would be easier to create a Google spreadsheet for everyone to just add their Forumname / Champion name like the League of Legends thread does.

Im up for some games, i play LoL regularly but im in love with skillshots. User name is same as my pa, i added some of you to friends
EDIT; gosh leavers ruin the game, i have yet to survive a 4v5. The games "balance" means numbers tend to win.
Man I suck pretty hard at this so far, forgetting to use useful skills at opportune moments. I'm slowly getting the hang of the free tank character I think, he's pretty fun to play.
Damn, this game is pretty fun. It's like all the good parts of LoL team fights, with none of the annoying laning and 45 minute matches.
I started off playing the assassin guy, but have switched over to tank. It feels so gratifying pulling off stuns and cc on people. If they're not attacking me, I can really pull off some dps on people. Staying alive means plenty of chances to break out my ult which has garnered me quite a few double kills too.
The "Seeker"? He's awesome. Lots of control options, lots of damage, couple escapes...
Only problem is when an assassin decides to butt hump me. I can barely get rid of those camo'd bastards. I can not wait till the free bloodlines cycle and we stop seeing them.

So, I tried this out with the tutorial and botmatches. I never really played LoL much, but this does remind me a lot of Guildwars.

This, a million times this. I can deal with the other three free bloodlines, but Assassins RAPE me. I like playing the ranged damage, and Assassins seems like they are exclusively the Scissors to my Paper.
Camo, stunlock, blind, frog hop, repeat until dead. And if their teammates are paying any attention to me at all, I just don't have enough escape options open to me to keep away.
Now, this may sound like I'm complaining. I'm not. I think this is awesome. The layers on layers of balance and teamwork in this game are just super cool. The Assassin may rock me hard, and I don't ever want to see his face again past Wednesday, but the class is so badass I can't feel too bad about it.

Right? I love the Seeker, and in matches where there is no assassin, I do great. when there is one though....good fucking game. I really feel like they balanced things. My ranged DPS will absolutely rock any tank or healer. If they don't work together against just me, I will eventually kill them both. Mix in a good melee DPS assassin kind of bloodline, and suddenly I'm on my heels using every trick I have to get away.
I love it. I've also figured out that if you're playing ranged DPS, it helps to let your team go out first and find the targets for you. That lets you pour on the pain before they know whats happening. This game has a great system of hard counters, but you can still win against them. Just takes some good skill to beat your counter bloodline.
I'm really confused about how they're balancing teams, especially with draft picks. The way each champion is set up doesn't seem conducive to counterpicking as much as it is combos, and with limited character availability that's not really an issue.
I tried this out. Did the tutorial and a single player match with each class.
Seems kind of neat but I still got some laggy warping shit in a single player game when choosing Euro server. Switched to US and it was fine, but it seems most games are on the Euro side so it doesn't bode well for actually taking it to multiplayer if chars are going to rubberband on me.
Man, the skill depth in this game is so much greater than in LoL. I've been playing glutton constantly, but I still feel like I have a lot of room to improve.
Knowing when to use EX abilities, for example, is really tricky.
I think it is absolutely retarded that heals are skillshots as well.
Other than that, the game is fairly fun.
Well, the heal for a shit ton. So it's kind of nice that they can miss.
I got the Engieneer. He doesn't really put out a ton of damage, but holy shit can the engie avoid death and control a battlefield.
Between all the stuns, slows, and jumping...dudes able to dictate everything. I got blasted on in one ladder match for not putting out a ton of damage. Next round I kept their healer stunned, slowed, and on his heals the entire round.
Harbinger is just gross when he's left alone, a lot of his abilities stack and do crazy DPS. In 3v3s I can pump out damage in the high 800's per round.
So, guys, this game is way fun. Instead of losing 50 minutes in a shitty match, I only lose 6!
Engineer is hella baller, and I dominate.
Also, I have almost nothing but bad experiences with those jumpy assassin guys. Every time one is on the enemy team, he's good. When he's on mine, he doesn't participate in fights and then hops around until the sudden death timer. We get it. You can jump, AND go invisible! So pro. Now, please, try doing anything else next time.
Edit: Oh hey also my ign is Aphrodesizach. Add me, please!
Sorry, the spreadsheet should be fixed now so that you guys can edit it. Tell me if it still isn't working.
Also, yah Engineer is badass medium-long range guerrilla warrior. He also has super cool EX abilities (Tractor Beam and Enlarging Machine or something like that)!
So did you guys buy the starter pack or are you getting bloodlines individually? Seems like getting new champions with bloodcoins is going to be pretty slow, except for the first one maybe since you regularly get extra coins from achievements at first.

I bought mine with cold hard cash. It should be noted that Bloodlines has an AMAZING pricing model.
You spend 10 bucks on "funcom coins", with the 1200 coins you can buy: 1 blood line, the officer skin, and the alternate weapon.
That's amazing. If you come from LoL you know that their pricing model is a scam. They have everything priced at a point where you have to end up spending more money to get riot points to get the hero and the skin you want. Bloodlines makes it very easy.
Honestly, when a company isn't trying to screw me on their micro transactions? I am more faithful to them. Many times I'd go to buy a LoL hero, and have to buy another $10 infusion of riot points to get the skin I also wanted. Blood lines just makes it easy. You only need more coins if you want the high tier skin.

I think I'll just wait and earn bloodcoins over time and eventually unlock maybe the Stalker.

I ended up dropping $30 on the champion pack. I really wanted all the tanks, which would've been $25 for the 5 of them individually with no extra skins or anything. The extra five bucks for all the other champions (minus the new pack), a skin, and a weapon was a really good deal. I then used the 600 gold that came with it to pick up the Guardian.
Plus i don't like seeing caps, even if the odds of me reaching the 9k every week are slim. :P

Of particular note is the team In Soviet Russia (chipshajen, r3x, and Jackazzm)
chipshajen - Alchemist
r3x - Igniter
Jackazzm - Spearmaster
so if anyone plays any of those classes, you can watch that video to see how those classes are played at high level and maybe see some cool strats.
