Bloodline Champions

I just noticed this game in the free section of Steam, I've been playing it quite a bit and think you guys would like to hear about it.The Game as stated by their faq
Quote
"is a competitive online multiplayer game for up to ten players per game, in which two teams fight for dominance.

Each player can choose between a variety of playable Bloodlines with different spectacular abilities, from the awesome strength of the Vanguard to the deceptive magic of the Harbinger"

Basically the game is 3v3 or 5v5 matches where you choose a hero (from a rotating selection of 4 heroes if you don't want to pay money) and can play in Three Match types
  • Arena - A Fight to the death with no respawns
  • Capture the Artifact - Its Capture the Flag it has respawns
  • Conquest - A Fight for dominance over the control points on the map with respawn

I played a little bit of it but...

It didn't seem as well balanced as other similar games (LoL).  The forum was all about people talking about how there were like three classes people played competitively.  The class I thought was coolest, the guy with the big sword, was apparently underpowered.

Nobody played it.

It was a lot more open about wanting all your money than lol.

Just like in LoL, you earn an ingame currency from playing matches. Using this currency (bloodcoins), you can unlock new champions, as well as purchasing things like runes and whatnot.

Used to play this game a lot after it came out of beta, but recently it went downhill since they added account progression. The game used to be very skill based, but since the 2.0 update they changed it pretty much completely, adding stuff like buyable runes or stats changes for your bloodlines. I stopped playing since then, It literally ruined the game for me and became another LoL/Dota knockoff. I'm sure some people still play it now, but most of the vets left since 2.0, the game was a real gem back then.. not so much now.
