Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat tedious, noting that leveling up and improving player ratings progresses slowly, with significant time investment required for hero experience. The absence of traditional farming mechanics, like last hits, further contributes to the frustration surrounding the grinding experience.
“One level up gives one stat point; grinding up the player rating advances very slowly. After 8 seasons, my bot starter ADC rose from 57 to 66. Also, grinding hero XP is taking very long.”
“There is no 'farming' or 'last hits' stat in a MOBA game. What the actual hell?”

The music in the game has received largely negative feedback, with players noting issues such as a persistent electronic buzzing sound that detracts from the experience and affects audio outside the game. While some find the initial tunes catchy, the overall audio quality is criticized for being poorly implemented, leading to frustration and a diminished gameplay experience.
“The trance-techno music combined with long periods of downtime, such as the transition between seasons, and the requirement to increase your 'fame' to go up in a skill division, makes this a poor experience.”
“This game has an interesting premise, but they seriously need to fix their audio. Right off the bat, I hear a nice catchy tune, but it's bugged with a strange electronic buzzing sound all the time. Even worse, it prevents me from listening to any other audio; otherwise, it's riddled with the same sound until I close the game. The recent update fixed the sound effects, but the music is still riddled with it. The driver I'm using is the most up-to-date one, and the fact that it affects audio outside the game gives me reason to believe that it isn't supposed to be there. The graphics and gameplay seem okay, but the audio irritated me so much that I only finished the tutorial phase, which did seem well thought out, but I haven't gotten into the real 'meat' of the game yet, so I can't really talk about the difficulty.”
“The sounds in this game are bad; the background sounds are mediocre, and the background music is terrible.”
