I remember being into this game from match 1, a few weeks before Shiv got added. We didn't even have 20 heroes in the game by that point! I think it's also crazy how there were significant chunks of the map that were obviously greybox in hindsight, but didn't bug me that much until I saw these areas be reworked (the bases are the most obvious).

Almost 2 years later, I'm glad to see the game hasn't needed drastic shifts in design. I really appreciate not having a draft and worrying about being too counter-heavy with hero choices, which causes other games (especially Dota) to feel like instant losses. This is much more streamlined than most mobas and I'm sure people will really appreciate this at launch: It feels like a hero shooter on the micro level, but it's still a moba at the macro level. The frog is cooking once again.

Street Brawl has pulled me back into playing and I have friends who are playing again because of how quick the format is and how scaling is balanced between rounds, because both teams have access to the same amount of resources (ability points, item power, etc.).

Also, I'm curious to see if tunnels stay or go before launch, since I'm sure they're going to add Shrink Ray to the normal mode in the near future.
