Awesomenauts SRK unite!

I’ve never played anything quite like this before. The bots are a good sign, I like being able to practice stuff offline

Sorry I didn’t reply already, was busy being mad at the game. lol :’(

What characters do you play?

For Leon.

Your team has Voltar:
Piggy Bank, Clone, Clone Attack. Your next upgrade can either be Walking Clone or just straight Sword buffs (Leon’s Clones gain the benefits of his Sword buffs). The important thing to note here is that Voltar gains just as much Solar from healing a Clone as he does a player. So, keep spamming clones so Voltar can quickly gain levels. This is the Clone Army set-up. It works amazing most of the time, but if you run into a good Froggy G, then he can shut this whole thing down. Keep that in mind and adjust your build as needed.

Your team doesn’t have Voltar:
Piggy Bank, Sword Life Steal, Sword buffs. My friend likes going Attack Up and Attack Speed Up. Others use Crit Rate Up over Attack Speed Up. Eventually you’ll want Tongue Grab, but you never really need Stealth Clones with this build.

Opposing Team has Lonestar:
You’ll need some Health Up in order to live through his Dynamite burst damage. Either that, or some luck. This becomes more important if he is running with Froggy G. Stun+Dynamite = Death. Either way, try to keep your distance until you see him waste his Dynamite load.

Awesome awesome awesome nauts

I have played Leon Lonestar, the frog, and Voltar so far.

how many people we got on each console

can we have leagues yet

Love this game! Playing Leon currently. Add “rubixgroove” on PSN and we’ll game.

I’m on 360. Add me if anyone wants to play, my gamertag is Biggzy.

I’ve been playing as Voltar or Froggy G. His dash move is too nasty.

One of the devs just posted that they hope to release major updates at least once a month (balance/characters/maps/whatever). I don’t think they know how releasing updates on the XBOX works; either that or they don’t realize that their publisher is broke…lol.

Voltar is a fucking Solar factory, holy SHIT…

Re: Patches. If they touch Froggy G I’ll be pissed. I think he’s perfect as he is. He’s good against Leon’s bullshit and can give Voltar and Yuri problems with dash. He does melee really well and helps others get in against support hazards but sucks hard against turrets, does shitty damage to the enemy base, and would probably do better ranged damage if he dropped his water gun and just started trying to urinate on his enemies. Definitely my main because he’s the most fun to play for me so far and because he benefits ANY team without being THE metagame. (Though, Froggy/Yuri/Leon sounds low-tier.)

I feel like Clunk loses hard to a lot of stuff. I mean, I know he’s gotta have something to balance out the fact that he has twice as much HP as everyone else, but without explosion w/self-damage reduction AND bite AND regeneration AND better missiles he just gets lit up by everyone else and probably still gets lit up anyway. I think he NEEDS either Yuri or Froggy G to hang out with him. Dunno what I’d patch aside from maybe making Explosion charge time shorter and start with doing 3/4 damage to him and then go down to 1/3 or 2/5 after reduction upgrade.

I haven’t spent enough time with anyone else to say what does or doesn’t need to be changed, though my knee-jerk reaction is to make Leon’s clones heal at 1/3 or 1/2 the rate that they do when Voltar/Yuri heal them.

All this said, I’m so new to this that I’m probably WAY off, and await Spooty’s rebuttal. :stuck_out_tongue:

Edit - Also, PSN name = ShinHogosha.

How do you know that I’m not going to agree with you?

Froggy G is fairly balanced in my opinion. He has a weak main weapon and his health is on the lower side, which balances his awesome Splash Dash. Still, at times I feel he has too much utility. His Splash Dash does damage, it stuns, it is a quick way to move around, and you don’t take damage while you are dashing. The Splash Dash is probably the single best move in the game. Also, if you get the Extra Bullet upgrade for his gun and get a couple damage upgrades after that, then your main weapon does 20 damage instead of 4 (can actually go up to 27 with another extra bullet, but I don’t usually think the Solar is worth it).

I do disagree with Froggy G not being “the metagame.” You have to completely change the way you play based on whether or not Froggy G is on the opposing team. Voltar is the only other character that can affect a game by just being there.

Clunk’s Explosion doesn’t need to be any faster. He just has to run with a pack. He walks up first and takes the main damage, then one of his friends does a stun, which he combos into Explosion. That’s a dead opponent. Once Clunk gets both Bite+Ensnare and Explosion, then he becomes much more of a 1-man killing machine. Also, one Explosion takes out all of Voltar’s Droids, which leaves Voltar defenseless (Droids have around 11.5 cooldown, while Explosion has something like 4.5).

I think you are looking at Leon’s Clones the wrong way. The nerf doesn’t need to be to how much they are healed, but how much damage they do to turrets/cores. They currently do full damage to everything, which is an issue. If they had reduced damage to turrets/cores, say 5-ish damage as the max, then the Clones are no longer an issue.

I have a few suggested changes for Voltar. First, he should not get Solar for healing Leon’s Clones. Second, turrets should not target Voltar’s Droids, the quick movement and tiny hitbox of the Droids makes for many misses, which allows anyone to tank a Turret with only the help of Voltar. As for a buff, I think Voltar should be able to cancel his floaty jump into hover anytime during a jump. Right now he can only cancel it after he has reached the top of his jump.

Goddamn this game is teh crack… o_O

It’s the Froggy G

Hey!

Also Spooty stop stealing your patch ideas from the AN forums it’s unbecoming, lol.

As long as Voltar can keep his drones and damage I am fine with replcacing stupid programming errors for some of his effects. But I really do enjoy the horde of orbs bringing down the house on someone, about the only thing keeping me safe from Leon…sometimes.

I don’t think it’s as much a problem as people make it out to be. Considering the few times I’ve played against a good team it took some thinking, careful jumping and evasion patterns, and more limited farming/healing techniques instead of just herp derp braind dead. In those situations I turned into the role I SHOULD be playing all the time: Supporting healer with a few annoying tricks to get the win.

Voltar changes I’d like: No healing clones, fix some of the targeting issues with turrets, slight nerf to his speed up ability for Drones (Max level I just completely wipe the enemy out with smart AI coupled with the damage), maybe a slight nerf on his pre-existing income on the beam. Coupled with the Piggy Bank, Solar generator and the upgrade I can easily get 500-600 in a few moments of turret smacking.

He’s becoming my go-to champ, I just love a healer that isn’t useless in a scrap. Lonestar takes second only because Leon and Froggy can REALLY fuck him up at close range. Clunk in a distant third just because.

Lol you have not been on all weekend

But it got so bad last night I went 1 and 2 with me and bots vs a whole team.
As soon as they counter picked Yuri with Leon I lost two straight because I had no partner.

A good Leon comes down to two options 1.If have healing bubble I have a 50/50 chance. 2. No healing bubble I die.

Im digging Yuri bruvs.

Hated him at first, but now he’s my favorite character for trolling. Max powered mines from off-screen is a blast, pun maybe intended.

You guys gotta be up for some 'Nauts tonight! I’ll be on around 9-10pm with LoneStar or Froggy.

Its funny when you use the bull to push someone to your turret with low life.They struggle hard to get back on their side

You sure I didn’t post them there too? I post as SPTwhte.

If anyone else posted them first, then they stole my ideas from the future. That’s the only explanation I can think of.

I finally played a couple online matches last night. Is there voice chat in this game on the ps3? I’ll have to break out The Wife’s old, pink, bluetooth headset thingy. Without some kind of chat it just feels like im playing with some really smart bots.

Anyhow, the match was fun. My team won both the matches I played and they were both really fast compared to my offline matches. They also yielded like 3 times the experience. I just use Lonestar as he seems pretty simple to use and can be good for offense or defense. In other words, he’s good for noobs like me. He seems really good when you get to a turret or base as you can use the bull to push enemies away as well as slow them, giving you time to pound on there turret/generator thingy.
