There’s a beautiful simplicity to Phantom Assassin. A simplicity which, I’d imagine, is going to mean that a lot of people pick her, and a lot of people are going to get disappointed when they get constantly killed for being too bold, too eager, and far too frivolous with their abilities, leaving them a useless dead weight on their team. Playing her on the Test server along with Chaos Knight and Gyrocopter, Monday's new Heroes, there’s one thing I’ve come to realise over the course of my first few games; you’ve got to be willing to be carried.Read and Comment
Found currently on the test server along with upcoming heroes Gyrocopter and Phantom Assassin, Chaos Knight occupies that shonky space of half finished concepts, future bug fixes and those heroes left in the waiting room between almost-finished and about-to-be-released like he was born there. He’s volatile at the best of times, and he does some horrible, horrible things with illusions. Which, coincidentally, make him a lot of fun to play. So much fun that I’ve got some impressions I want to share.

Sneaking onto the test server, it wasn’t really all that hard to commandeer the Gyrocopter and take it out for a test run. With the complimentary ridiculous moustache, flying goggles and more rockets than you can very carefully wave a finger at and really hope you don’t explode, Gyrocopter is the kind of crazy initiator that can also push lanes like nothing else. He’s not due out till Monday’s patch, but you can nevertheless give Gyro a whirl if you hop onto the test server, along with the other two imminent heroes, Phantom Assassin and Chaos Knight.

Because sometimes the stars align, the dice roll in your favour and it is the best idea. The best idea possible. And everyone dies while your dual heads laugh in an eerie, uncomfortable double octave. Read and Comment
