Is it a failure?

Yes. I've played DotA since WC3, but TFT is just a million times better of a game. Underlords is a pretty embarrassing showing on Valve's part.

what did they do

It's by far the auto chess variant with the most potential, solely on account of having the least RNG. Whether or not it fails depends on how hard Valve fucks up.

>Prioritizing Windranger and QoP voices in game

They know how to appease me.

pretty much. autochess died just as quick as it showed up. Fads are fun like that. Remember how big pokemon go was for a couple weeks? Sure it's still got some players, but not even 1/100000 the amount it did at it's launch.

underlords is the best auto chess game really
anyone disagreeing has either never played any and comes straight from twitch or is a lol-playing riot drone

the cartoony version on mobile is so much better, I cant wait for it to be available on PC

So I've played AutoChess and Underlords quite a bit, how exactly if the League version better? What does it change?

It's not better at all, it's the zoomer version. Matches are shorter, there's more RNG, there's dabbing penguins, and there's literal mario kart-esque comeback mechanics.

Uh character outlines are in the options menu on PC.

The UI is amazing to be honest, even someone who never touched dota can easily get into it. The same cant be said for TFT

Tft is the worst version. The people that enjoy it are into cuck and blacked porn and enjoy watching some faggot stroll up right in front of them and take the unit they need on the merry go round phase.

It has more viewers on Twitch.

Items are extremely influential, for better and worse

QoP's voicelines in Underlords are so good and actually make me hard

he is talking about a different autochess game

pros: the UI is better, factions make more sense, diagonal board is more interesting

cons: ALOT of RNG, items are more powerful than unities, item system sucks in general you can't take an item out of a unity without selling the unity

they changed the outdated squares on the board into futuristic hexagons which actually reduced the movement pathing of units into 6 directions instead of 8 because Riotniggers can't code 8-directional movement

>diagonal board is more interesting
this retard actually fell for it
LOL

the ui is worse and what kind of pro is the "factions make more sense"

What the hell are you smoking when you think the UI is better than underlords?

Cartoony version on mobile kept all the dumb shit though.
Melee units moving from square to square dodge abilities and ranged attacks that are on route to them.
AOE abilities have whack circles that can just be barely clipping a square of a square or target a corner where half their area is useless
And they kept tiny having a dumb fucking ability

Meanwhile Underlords addresses that vast majority of these issues, even as someone who doesn't really care they clearly paid attention to all the excess of the game mode and made the correct choices to cut off the useless fat.

>im a faggot and i like my board reduced from an 8x8 to a 6x7 where pathing sometimes fuck up my pieces where they dont attack at all.

the board is the worst thing about TFT in everyway. you cant even properly space your pieces if your facing assassins you fucking cuck

it is, the ugly mobile UI from underlords in cancerous.

Don't things only turn 6 ways in league too?

that's hilarious if true

before you reply, read the whole fucking sentence first, you fucking imbecile

It doesnt have to be pretty, it has to be functional. You cant tell everything from a quick glance in underlords, it tells you which faction you can fill in, which belongs to what and you have a tab for quickly checking your opponents items and heroes. Non of that is present in tft, the game is prettier and thats about it

I'd try tft if not for auto-catan board. In original DAC mod units could move through 8 directions. In tft they can move through 6 directions. This is actually huge nerf for melee characters. And their AI being in beta state doesn't help

It's still pretty much always in the Top 10 most played on Steam.

If Underlords is a failure then so are Rainbow Six Siege, GTA V, and Warframe.

>speedreaders

can*

Me too!

Nope. I can play it on my phone, tablet, and PC. I'm not a LoLfag so I'm not gonna download a new client just to try an auto battler.

Now that they finally added a fucking XP system for rewards we're getting somewhere. The items themselves are gay as fuck though, I still prefer the item building from teamfight tactics and the original mod.

>Warframe
oh yea that's definitely a failure

To be fair, siege probably have more players since there are people playing through uplay only.

Same here, fuck downloading the whole lol client, when theres ton of differient versions out there
The board seems nice, at least from that preview pic

In my opinion they need to lean as hard as possible into the DotA 2 connection with cosmetics.

Give us shit like a WAOW replacement for Yo or pro team banners since those lost all purpose in DotA itself a long time ago.

So, what went wrong?

your life for using numbers of people not playing the game as a metric of success

I'm fine with not being able to stack items on your pieces to make one mega carry but the early round items getting outclassed is a bit lame.
Paying money to upgrade your items late game could be a neat option

>twitch views because of korean and chinese streamers mean teamfight tactics is the better game

>The graphics are so good and happy! I love fortnite

Attached: the tft audience.png (319x179, 31K)

Korean user here, I'm offended by that image because nobody here plays lel meme fortnite. Rest is pretty accurate. 70~80% of gamers here are mindless riotdrones.

Chainmail is still top tier in the late game, even Vit booster/Gloves of Haste/Brooch have their uses since they can help a 1 star Enigma pull off his ult before dying.
I'd say Claymore and Blight Stone fall off in the late game though, and the rest of the items are useless even in the early game.

dota autochess was dota in the first place

One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is that in TFT you teleport to fight your opponents stacks, meaning there aren't two separate battles going on if there are two players alive. That mechanic is really wack in other autochess games and sometimes prolongs the end way too much.

Before we knew about the bounty board you would've gotten a good 10 (you)'s at least for that user

Bad luck.

Didn't Finol say on discord that they're working on adding that to Underlords too?
Not sure how I feel about that.

It's based on League of Legends™ which, as we all know, is the best game ever made and so much more complex than shitty dota

Yes. I'm hoping for a combination of the two where you only play on the same board once it's 1v1

WTF I LOVE CALIFORNIA NOW???!?!?!!!

Where can I pre-order this loot chest you speak of? Nowhere. Because you made it up.
