I played Dawngate over the summer, and based on my time with it, I wasn’t very impressed. The game had so many problems that I would consider it broken by design. The developers seemed incapable of identifying most of the sources of the games problems, let alone fixing them.
While I was playing, jungle vim and xp gain was incredibly low, and junglers had a hard time impacting the game unless they pulled off a lot of successful ganks. Waystone’s attempted fix for this was not to increase the vim and xp gain of jungle camps across the board, or increase the vim and xp bonus from the hunter role, but to increase the vim and xp given by buff camps, in an attempt to fix the problem while also making the jungle camps more strategically important. What this ended up doing was creating a situation where junglers were encouraged to invade, and making the successful jungler gain a huge advantage over the other jungler, and putting the unsuccessful jungler so far behind that you might as well not have had a 5th teammate. Luckily this change got reverted in the next patch, but the fact that it even went in in the first place shows some major incompetence on the part of the developers. The odd, roundabout solution to the problem is the kind of thing IceFrog would do if IceFrog was completely terrible at his job.
The map itself has problems too; I feel it is overly complex and not nearly thought out well enough. During the time I played, if a team got a huge early game advantage and pushed both the lanes to the guardian, they had basically thrown the game. Early game, attacking the guardian is almost impossible to do successfully, even if you have a big kill lead, and the creeps seem to do absolutely nothing to the guardian even when both lanes’ towers are down. This ends up with the team that had advantage basically unable to do anything except let the enemy base flood with creeps for the other team to farm while they sit on their hands and hope that one of them is dumb enough to leave the base before towers respawn. The jungle gives hardly any vim/xp, and the wells don’t give enough passive vim to make up for all the vim and xp being received by the other team farming your creeps that are flooding their base non-stop because of the increase creep spawn rate granted by having all towers down. On the times I was on the receiving end of this, I was able to get so much farm I was able to 3v1 their team, and my team was able to win despite having two disconnects.
The Parasite is also poorly thought out, as you mentioned it is incredibly hard to defeat, and as you also mentioned, you really have to press the advantage whenever you get a chance. Because of this, doing parasite is almost never an option; it’s better to focus towers or the guardian when the enemy team is down, and because of how strong parasite is, it’s far to risky to attempt when the enemy team is up.
The balance between how hard certain things snowball and how hard other things rubber-band is also really weird. It seems like their attempt to balance the snowballing necessary for a game to come to and end, and the ability for comebacks to happen was to have shaper kills snowball players super hard and to have the map allow for serious rubber-banding with it’s respawning towers, passive gold gain controlled by map objectives that can be tipped in either team’s favor, and hard to permanently damage guardians. However, not only does this not work, but the developers don’t seem to know how to put them in check. The obvious solution would be to fix the amount players can snowball off of kills, and take out respawning towers and the extraneous vim wells, while also making guardians and parasite easier to take down, but I’m not sure if Waystone is incapable of recognizing this, or they just want the game to work in a way that couldn’t ever be balanced.
I could go on forever about the various gameplay problems of Dawngate, but I think the biggest red flag for this game is the fact that it’s being published by EA. I’ve seen firsthand how EA ruined Battlefield Heroes with its atrocious f2p setup, and from what I’ve seen of EA’s other f2p games, they don’t seem to be capable of making f2p games that are playable without requiring players to dump more money into them on a regular basis. I’d really like for Dawngate to come out of beta a really great game, but between Waystone and EA, I don’t see that happening at all.
