Game crashed on me 2 times while loading (I could hear the voices talking still but no video or cursor movement). I had to verify files. Then the game BSoD on me while streaming as well.
It's a fun game, but I wouldn't recommend it because it's annoying to deal with crashes, ESPECIALLY if you're a streamer.

I don't call myself a "gamer" because I am not "good at games" I just so happen to be good at hyper focusing on 1 game at a time. Research, practicing by going against bots, scrimming against other teams, looking at numbers, testing obscure & every build combo that I can think of, and in general putting in way more work than the people who are actually good at games. With that being said, there is a lot to learn in this game but there's also a lot of "you can just jump in and understand" things. The below are my ratings on the game:

OPEN BETA: 8/10 overall but a 10/10 for me
- On release day, there were less server problems than any game I have ever played.
- Seems like there were packet loss issues for people
- Seems like it was putting people in the
- The issues that did happen were almost
- The community is VERY nice & helpful.
- There are already great tutorials out there for starters ALL THE WAY to poop sockers

CASUAL GAMER: 8/10
- Even when you lose, you have fun somehow
- Games are somewhat fast (~15 minutes) even with 10 teams of 4
- Easy and fast to mute your mic, player, chat
- It's kind of fast paced so it can be overwhelming
- Colors pop out so it's easy to see enemy/teammate
- FREE
- Unlock a lot of characters early on in the game

BEGINNER PLAYER: 8/10
- Even in ranked your teammates are AT YOUR LEVEL of skill (no smurfs yet and I don't know exactly what's going to happen with that)
- Even when you lose, you have fun
- You will learn something every game
- a lot to learn if you're actually trying to improve
- It's kind of fast paced so it can be overwhelming
- Get to unlock characters pretty early on with minimal time invested

AVERAGE PLAYER: ??/10 (I am not here yet)
- Even when you lose, you have fun
- You will learn something every game
- Training mode helps with practicing tech

WORSE THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE: ??/10 (I am not here yet)
- You will have fun even when you lose because you think you're better than you are
- You will find yourself wanting to help people more than raging
- You might actually use training mode in this game

EXPERT: ??/10 (I am not here yet)
- Sound Queues could use some work
- TONS of trick shots
- Amazing team fights that don't just end instantly (for the most part)
- In depth team comps
- Meta isn't solved after 1 day


TOTAL OVERALL RATING: 9/10 so far
- The community is VERY nice & helpful.
- There are already great tutorials out there for starters ALL THE WAY to poop sockers
- Discord server is an AMAZING resource
- The company seems actively interested in the game and actually play it (unfortunately they are actually good so you can't brag that you beat an employee which is annoying)
- Audio queues and EQ need work
- This is NOT a unique game for the sole purpose to be unique. Think of that twisted up fork meme "just because you're unique doesn't make you useful". This game is the opposite of that
- This is the only game that I have enjoyed playing in a long time and I will be making a hard pivot of my content to it.
- Training mode could use some extra features


I can't wait to keep playing and learning. I will become a commentator for this game in the future, so I'll see you on the big screen sometime!

The game and ruleset is probably one of the best games of all time.
This client is trash, there are many things that have not been addressed since the start of closed beta.
The only way to make this better is to make a new client as there seems to be too much technical debt built up to resolve most of the issues.
The press team refuses interviews, there's a lack of communication with the community when needed.
I play this game for streaming purposes, but I would never recommend picking up this game to any of my friends, family, or any viewer that comes into my channel.

This game takes a LOT of talent and you have to know what you're doing late in the game if you wat to be able to be useful.

the raids are extremely fun and take practice like any other raid.

The difference between this and other MMO's is the fact that IF YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH you can solo raids.
