Anyone in the alpha already? Anyone wanna join?

I got early alpha access a while ago but couldn't really talk about it because NDA. Now that they've opened up more about it, I have 3 alpha keys to give away if anyone is interested. First come, first served, post here and I'll PM you.

(EDIT: JK, two alpha keys, I promised one to someone else already.)

Probably won't join (too many games ATM), but wouldn't mind hearing your impressions on the game, Glork :-)

Kotaku has compared it (rather favorably) to a cross between DOTA and XCOM.

Looks like it has a lot of potential. I always get leery of simultaneous turn games though, because it's a good concept but very often the aspect of just guessing where they'll be ends up crowding out the rest of the strategy space.

Have you gotten to play a fair bit of it, Glork? How often do you have games where the other player would have won if they had done everything the same, but correctly guessed where their enemy would go?

Great game, planning to buy soon. I played the free beta - I tried out all the freelancers but I'll probably end up maining Oz because Oz is the best one

You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

Su-Ren isn't overpowered anymore hooray

My list of season 1 top picks:

Firepower:
Lockwood - slippery, anti-dash, ridiculous damage AoE, can shoot around corners
Grey - VISION, longest dash in game, really good ultimate, can outtrade with tranq darts, provides consistent map pressure
PuP - Incredible damage, short cooldown dash, invisibility and might chains into ultimate, can pull people into team, incredible ultimate, solo queue destroyer

Frontline:
Rask by far. Knockback, borked healing rate, ultimate resets cooldown, nice wide swing(to catch elle dashes and the like)

Support:
Su-ren - still strong after the nerfs. Haven't played her much but 100 damage shield with retaliation is god
Finn - the single best ultimate in the game, along with a strong damage ability that can fuck Nixes or PuPs over, and AoEs on everything.

Juno is also a solid pick but I am not convinced she can carry solo queue

Props to them for making a black female character that actually can stand on her own merits rather than just being a sassy caricature or token add

Changed my mind Helios is a viable ban now

I don't like Kaigin, he's so feast or famine-y
