And I fully intend to play no other character. Although I still think Attikus is going to be ridiculous in this mode…

He’s going to be wild! 3v3 means smaller maps, which means his body blocking will be lethal. 3v3 means less incoming fire, so his major weakness (hitbox) is mitigated, and he’s just had a health buff too. He has wound, CC, an amazing group fight ult, regen, and he’ll presumably level up well too, if they use a similar level speed to Capture or Face Off.
In short, dude has potential to be a monster. Can’t wait to shoot him in the head with a blade or three

With all the shards they mentioned that means he can pick expensive gear quicker as well which means the health stacking can get crazier

Looks fun, but I’m just worried about how it will affect the queues and such. I’ll see how it plays out.

I feel selfish for kinda hoping that 3v3 takes over and becomes the popular queue… I know it’d be awful for those who (justifiably) want the game in its original full-scale form, but a 6-player game is going to be so much better for non-US players. Matchmaking just can’t deliver us decent 10-player games, after all.

You’re Australian, right? Or did I get that wrong?

Well, at least you have that. Is it awesome being Australian? You’re, like, competent versions of us Americans. And that’s probably what makes you so good at this game.
My god, if all the Australians had normal connection, they could wreck!

Well, it’s awesome being me. Can’t vouch for anyone else, though. 
The Australians I’ve played with tend to be better on average, but it’s a process of natural selection: any Australian who persists with BB is the kind of stubborn player who’ll master her chosen character(s) and communicate well. You can’t really be a ‘casual’ BB player down here - you either go all in or get the hell out. Red bar is a cruel mistress.

In the stream they mentioned faster leveling and faster games. Will we be gaining a level a minute like they suggested? Will there be huge gaps in leveling? How will this effect balance? Will late game heroes shine again?

Once we get to test out supercharge we will know, but if that applies to the 3vs3 version of incursion and meltdown it’s going to be an unbalanced mess as it’s already a problem in regular 5vs5 as you will have gaps in difference on people lvl.
Ex. I have a load with orendi that lets me lvl up quite quickly and sometimes when i reach lvl 5 I see some people still at 2, now if this quicker lvl system is in play in those 3vs3 version I can see people getting to lvl 7 while others are stuck at 2-3

They told us about the new MINREC lines. They didn’t tell us about the new Nova lines! I like the one about soda pop.
Also: “You’re halfway to victory. Might as well take a break, you’ve earned it! This message sponsored by the enemy team.”

Again . Marquis is ridiculous…why don’t change the character statistics to have a fair game? If not, block the character.at least buff the owls in supercharge…,

So, Marquis is bad or good?

Pretty bad from what I’ve seen so far. Nowhere for him to perch where he won’t immediately get double/triple-teamed or blinded by Caldarius.

I’m struggling to imagine any 3v3 mode where Marquis isn’t going to be easy prey for enemy assassins.

How has the Matchmaking / connectivity been for you Down Underites?
What am I doing wrong? I’m getting hosed out there. I don’t get supercharge, there are so many thing to do in so little time. I feel completely ineffectual no matter what I’m doing. Defense seems pointless when they can score anyway and I can’t get into a position to attack. I hate the idea of TDM. Idk how people are getting so many shards to activate their gear in such a short time, I was grabbing every shard I walked past and barely got a single legendary up even with a shard gen. Capturing the point is pointless because you only get xp while you are standing on it and the opposite team gets more xp for killing your shepherd. It’s so damn chaotic I don’t know where I’m supposed to be or what I’m supposed to be doing at any given time. Should I give up completely on trying to match solo? I need help, any tips?

Our formerly-retired trio had an easy first run of Supercharge, winning all our games save for a match against a Boldur-headed premade that wasn’t made any easier for our red bars.
Mostly we just focused waves. I was Mell every game and found her really strong here, although I also absolutely blew up a lot of enemy Mellkas, so who knows. Communication and CC made a huge difference as usual. One of us played Kelvin (for the first time in her life, pretty much) and his chomp and stun seem basically OP in the mode
