/bbg/ Battleborn General

>What is this?
Battleborn is a new MOBA-FPS by Gearbox Software (developers of Borderlands). It's basically Borderlands 1 with good PvP.

>Should I buy it?
Don't let the artstyle put you off. It's a bit slow to start, but lots of fun once you get into it. Objective oriented, solid combat, good map design.

You can buy it for $30 on keysites if you don't want to pay full price.

>assholes that surrender spam and afk all match

>bbg
why did the change the abbreviation when /bbg/ is for bloodborne general

who's even posting here

+% healing received gear affects life steal, right? Not just ability heals?

Implying we give a shit. I just wana talk battleborn

you aren't playing it?

Reyna best girl.

9 games with her so far, 8 wins. Oh baby.

I'm on my phone between games.

Did we just died?

Goodnight, sweet prince.

We are a slow general like the dungeon fighter one. We will hit page 10 faster.

now that everyone knows to be either marquis or isic, and that overwatch can't really be compared with battleborn, there isn't much to talk about.

But user, Reyna is the best hero in the game.

oh ya, and you forcing this meme because you are primally aroused by mighty striding lady thighs

Actually Ambra is

talk about fun builds you've tried

>a Montana that rarely stops firing at all
>TurbotastISIC
>"fuck healing" Reyna

But her thighs raise her up to top their easy.

>Put gears that has Attack Speed on Attikus or Boldur

>put attack speed
>on pheobe

No user, I'm joking about it because I enjoy Reyna, and I think it's silly to complain about things we have no control over.

And also because I am primally aroused by mighty striding lady thighs.

I also now wish that this was Reyna's mastery title.

>Attikus also gains 60% attack speed from his helix

Anyone play on xbox ?

nobody plays anything on xbox

I play it on xbox

(it's 20% user. He gets 60% bonus damage.)

Lewds? Other than Birdman?

Will I need these credits for anything, or can I spend them all on loot packs? I already have 4 loadout slots and 2 bank pages.

>boldur
>attack speed
Nononono user.

With Boldur you hold shield and repeatedly tap the first hit of his melee.
When you hold the shield, the first hit has like less than half a second of recovery time. So you can immediately put out another first hit again, or reshield immediately to avoid damage.
If you time the presses right you can put out like 8-10 swings in the time it takes him to normally do a full four-hit combo.

Get Attack Damage for him instead and push his already insane damage-per hit further through the roof.

Spend away nigga that's what they/re for.

Its not to late guys, overwatch has some of the most active generals on Veeky Forums in a long time. Just play that instead If you dont wanna play a dead game.

no thanks

>hey guys why don't you just play this other game because it's popular

Might finished this up more some other time.

This game needs a lot more players to have more porn. Goddamnit.

theres always waifus

and husbandos

til more comes youre stuck with me, sorry

>Play as Montana
>Team Wins
>Try something else
>Team gets horribly crushed

Every time. Is it a sign? Am I to play Montana forever? Does anyone else have a better theme song?

Well, it's finally happened boys. I lost. There's only so much Reyna can do.

>most kills
>1/5th the deaths of anyone on my team
>second in damage and minions
>twice the buildables of our entire team put together
>more healing than both supports on the enemy team put together
>spend all game defending our minions and pushing to the teeth
>boldur picks me as the one to single out as the reason our team is losing
>spends all match yelling at me

I should be used to this shit now, but it still rustles me every time.

Classic assfaggots character building team behavior. I hope you told Boldur you fucked his mom last night since it's traditional.

Ded general

Apparently I'm the only one here, so I'll just keep blogging.

Don't despair, for it is never hopeless.

>playing against a good galilea + miko and ambra
>our galilea is 1 and 5 and never attacks anything
>other teamates are okay but good at listening to directions
>we start coordinating rotations and focusing on minions
>I built about 6 MK1 bots in like 2 minutes with my supa screwdriver
>we massively pull ahead in score
>they're still sort of farming us on kills and keep trying to pull into base
>our marquis is a boss and finds a way to jump ontop of a spire and kills ALL OF THEM
>they keep trying to gank him but I just heal his ass and punch them away
>we keep solidly dunking for a massive victory after we were down 160 minions to start with

Oh baby.

When this game is fun, it sure as fuck is fun.

I hope Gearbox can pull some marketing around and get people playing this game.

Pic related, I'm the calm nubile female and that horse was the match.

Also holy fuck, I didn't know you could get skins from loot packs that weren't actually on the list of skins.

You can get emotes as well. The things listed on champs is only the one unlockable though level and packs.

Also holy fuck, I forgot my image.

Damn this reminds me of Paladins all over again , why did they release Battleborn so close to Overwatch

Sad Bird bump

;_;

Because they realized that if they put it out after OW people would just claim it's a OW clone even tho it was in production way before OW was.

Which would hurt their marketing even more. So they did not really have a choice if they wanted to turn a profit.

Well that's unfortunate. Guess this will just go down like Paladins and Paragon .

they haven't done much marketing.

If I were smart and working for Gearbox, I'd have saved my marketing money for after the OW beta ends.

Right when people finally get to see how shitty Overwatch is, boom. Remember Battleborn, kiddos?

We'll see what happens though. It's already got some good reviews out there. I think it'll survive, at least with a niche community.

Yeah the marketing for this game was horrible I didn't find out about it till I started getting curious about Borderlands 3 on Google one night

Im pretty sure this game will have some smaller community that will keep on playing it after it's launch. Just look at Dragons Dogma.

So this game's confirmed DOA on PC, how about consoles?

5000 in game at 4am, not too bad. I think it'll go up after May 9th.

> I bought this on PC because I believed the community on console would die first

Is there some secret to Overwatch that makes it different from TF2? Because it just looks like a prettier TF2.

cheapest place to get this game right now? For PC.

It's made by Blizzard

G2A has it for $34 I think, that's where I pre-ordered it. Just make sure you don't sign up for the premium shit by accident.

You might want to use Kinguin instead though.

I can confirm, I've just started looking for keys because I didn't want to buy it Overwatch beta week. Might as well try that and buy this after.

Rather than playing a dead game?

jesus christ it's not dead. There is enough people to have wait times that is less than 2 minutes at that is far from dead.

I got this game ladt night, why do people keep shitting on this unearthed gem?

Also Montana best boy

It's just the blizzdrones user, don't let them bother you.

They're just trying to come to terms with the fact that the game they've been waiting for is boring. They're still in the first stage of grief, it will pass.

In a few days they'll accept their fate and buy Battleborn.

This "ambra is shit" meme is halarious. Her zoning is God-tier.

She's pretty good as a hybrid support, basically the AoE version of Reyna.

She's definitely excels, as you say, at sustaining zone pressure during a team push, and at pushing minions waves. But at the same time, she doesn't really scare me that much.

She's just one of those characters who, if you can land a good quickmelee on her, almost entirely stops being a threat. She's easy to kite.

I can definitely see her being a HUGE annoyance to melee characters, though.

>not one mention of the GOD

You'll cowards don't even play Caldarius.

>it's a "pre-made Miko + Reyna so you can literally can't kill either of them or the third guy they leash without chaining multiple stuns because they go everywhere together" match

Try Shayne and Aurox, Fetching the supports always throws them for a whirl.

Well he is a broken character so enjoy your free wins. Might try ISIC aswell, he is more obvious OP and broken.

Holy fucking shit the ISIC mission
>You're right! Everybody dies! - Bring him to me anyway. - Everybody dies! Hooray!

I fucking missed this humour

if you hook the Miko the Reyna overshields him.
If you hook the Reyna then the Miko just activates Biosynthesis and leashes her.
Meanwhile your team can't do shit unless they're already flanked because Shaynox is so fucking fat and hides them from view.

>not playing Reyna yourself and dunking them with a strong DPS

People who don't play best girl are disgusting.

Reyna is a pretty rare pick though, seems like I'm the only who who plays her. If a Miko tries to heal me I tell them to fuck right off. Two supports in one lane is useless.

/bbg/

it's /btbg/ you drooling retard

>not playing based chairman

as kleese I raff at her pitiful shield memes

>wait like 30 seconds for rest of team to pick before deciding on support
>two guys don't pick despite being loaded
>wanna try out Kleese, so pick him because team is Orendi and Oscar.
>10 seconds after i lock in Kleese the other two guys pick Thorn and Kelvin

I dismissed thorn early on but after picking her back up recently I am REALLY loving her, too bad all her lore stuff is the PvE missions though.

So after playing Battleborn for the better part of the week, and after playing Overwatch for a few hours last night, I can confirm that they are at least very dissimilar, if not entirely different from each other.

I figured out you can set up an empty versus match if you want to try characters, but it doesn't seem to count for unlocks. Which is fair, I guess, because that'd be abuseable, but weird.

>Decide to give ISIC a go
>PvE
>Try his ult
>Wow this is pretty good, wonder how long it lasts
>It has no duration, only goes on CD when you turn it off, only 60 seconds

This is fucking filthy

>only goes on CD when you turn it off, only 60 seconds
or when you get stunned
or silenced
or knocked up

Oh okay that's much less filthy then, my mistake

also jump pads

Lewds?
Of Birdman?

>tfw want birdman
>tfw five wins or level ten
>tfw can't win

I wanna read his lore stuff, but no websites have uploaded them yet.

Who?

>Hey! You keep killing all the things I've send you to kill you. STOP THAT! STOP IT RIGHT NOW!

Whoops, forgot the picture.

I'm surprised how much of the humor actually hit. My favorite line was the one between ISIC and the spider robot where ISIC just ends his banter by saying "Fuck You" in his strangely upbeat voice.

Storymode counts, bruh.

Best moment imo

>tfw you somehow die less than "the" back-row character
>tfw people don't know how to play conservatively and thus get isolated and fucked by Rath's broken "i win unless you have a stun" combo
>tfw nobody but me was trying to punish the Thorn who was being stupidly over-aggressive

Man I love Whiskey so much.
He has incredible sustain and near-unmatched wave-clearing.
I hope they don't over-buff him because I don't want to lose my special snowflake status when all the shitters flock to the broken character.
Mostly he just needs is a couple of tweaks to how his shit works.
Like his Scrap Canon needs to be instantaneous instead of being on a half-second delay.

>OOH, AH, POISON GAS
>LETHAL TO GIANT SPIDERS

... this changes everything.
.. wait are you sure because I've played a few Oscar Mike campaign missions and it hasn't counted

>Looks like you're coming in anyway! I don't like that, no I don't like that shit at all!

I think solo play doesn't count, but if you clear a chapter in matchmaking it should count as a win. You can check in the command menu to see how much progress you've made.
