Notes from the journey

First game as Abrams, and boy oh boy, I felt useless. His style is the complete opposite of my Haze gameplay: he wants to be in the middle of the fight, and that's not my cup of tea. We'll see how it goes!

Drifter still feels a bit awkward. Haze is all about farming; Drifter forces you to gank and take 1v1s to grow, and I don't feel confident there yet.

Getting better with Haze. I even picked up a few MVPs along the way.

The game takes a lot from Dota and LoL, but it's different in so many ways. The most important one: the gap between teammates is usually smaller. Here you farm and share the souls (the gold), while in Dota and LoL you're competing with your own team for it.

It turns out I need at least three heroes to reach 60 wins, so two more to pick. And what better way to choose than taking a good look at their avatars? Probably Drifter, possibly Abrams.

Started with brawl matches to get a taste of the game. Feels like that was a mistake, it's overwhelming. But it also feels like I found my besty. Hello, Haze!
