​@@greatmatt301 Hello! Yes I did. I have been playing it for two days now and I'm really enjoying it. It's especially enjoyable when people stick to their roles, and sticking to the role you got is a MUST. There is a fixed item slot that is tied to your role, and if, for example, you got the jungle role then only you will have the jungle item and it cannot be changed. The jungle item is not bought from the shop. If you are any other role then you will have a health potion in that slot. For fixed items, there are three fixed slots that cannot be changed, one is for the jungle item (only if you are a jungler) or an HP potion otherwise, one for wards, and the last for a crest (I think it's mentioned in this video). Then you have 5 other slots for normal items that you buy from the shop. In regards to performance, I had a lot of stuttering on dx11 (the default option) and none on dx12. Also, I only had one game crash on dx12 so far. This problem could be "my pc" problem, so in general the game plays fine. Here are some important points too: 1. The game pretty much plays like most other MOBA games. 2. As stressed in the video, the roles in the game are: Offlane, Jungle, Mid, Carry, and Support (Carry and Support are the Duo lane roles). 3. Depending on which side of the map your team is on, your Offlane could be bot or top side, and the duo lane will be on the opposite of the Offlane. 4. The map's jungle routes will take time or guides to know the optimal routes for the jungle role. 5. There are purple gates at each entrance to the jungle from the lanes. Those purple gates will prevent you from seeing any enemy player walking on the other side of the gate (basically it's like a fog of war) so you'll have to cross the gate to be able to see them or have a ward somewhere near to alarm you if anyone is coming from there. 6. For Itemization, I cannot say much because I didn't read all the items yet, but I could say that the recommended tab is fine at the beginning. However, you'll definitely have to know what the items do to be able to build your hero well for each match later on (As it is in other MOBA games).

[@TechDudeQ]

Thanks! Definitely give it a try I love the game

[@pkmanbilly]

great guide for me being new to this.

[@ogfawnii]

I love jungle, been playin 3 days xD

[@RandomBeing]

Nice video, adding to your comment that there is a practice range, there also is a vs bots mode that helps a lot with learning new heros.

[@TechDudeQ]

That is true too! Definitely something to note.

[@MonkeyBoyKHS]

Hey man i really enjoyed your video and your content style! You might want to take a second look at your pacing.There was a lot of dead space (specifically in the intro) and alot of the cuts could be more streamlined and speed up to maintain retention. Really nice video though! No hate lol keep up the good stuff

[@TechDudeQ]

Hey, thanks so much I appreciate the feedback and agree with you. Definitely something I am working on haha! That and how much I say “um” 😂

[@AkenosBoiToy]

They need to fix the safe area or add a setting to adjust it. Because I can't see the bottom edge of my screen 😂😭

[@user-ed7jj8tt4h]

How does me killing them or them kill me affect anything besides them waiting to respond. Do I get gold? Level up faster?

[@TechDudeQ]

Yes you get gold and xp but killing them also lets you farm more and get to their tower, or help others.

[@KneePoll]

Does it have a MnK support on PS4/PS5??

[@Biggie_Pauls]

Don't think so, can't find any games when you turn crossplay off so stuck with the disadvantage

[@thebeastfromwithin3024]

In lol terms Fang is dragon and prime is herald and nashor.

[@gunzandgodz]

Smite is still better, but the game is pretty damn awesome.
