The gameplay is generally praised for its smoothness, engaging mechanics, and stunning graphics, offering a balance of depth and strategy reminiscent of other popular MOBAs. However, significant issues with matchmaking, particularly the imbalance between skilled and novice players, detract from the overall experience, leading to frustration among users. Many players also express a desire for better tutorials and clearer explanations of game mechanics to enhance the experience for newcomers.
- “The gameplay is so engaging, with intense team fights and strategic objective takes.”
- “The graphics are stunning, the gameplay is smooth, and every hero feels unique and well-balanced.”
- “This five-star masterpiece of a multiplayer online battle arena game is a pinnacle of competitive design, masterfully weaving together a perpetually evolving roster of distinct champions, each with intricately balanced abilities that promise an unparalleled depth of strategic team coordination, exhilarating moment-to-moment combat that demands both razor-sharp mechanical skill and macro-level map awareness, and a robust seasonal meta that keeps the gameplay feeling fresh and challenging.”
- “Needs to be fixed because I've done many matches only to be gone from records while having stable gameplay in a match.”
- “The game is only worth playing in seasons 1-3; the rest is a terrible matchmaking system combined with newbie players who also have terrible behavior and gameplay.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly due to the frequent need to download resources. While many appreciate the generous rewards and the ability to obtain heroes without extensive grinding, dissatisfaction with the new ranking system has led to decreased motivation for some long-time players, who feel that their efforts are not adequately rewarded. Overall, the grinding experience is mixed, with some players feeling it detracts from their enjoyment of the game.
- “The amount of times you need to download resources is tedious.”
- “I'm really disappointed about the ranking system. I prefer the old ranking because if you won, you still got a star even if your grading was not that good. In this new ranking, if you win and your grading is low, you only get points but cannot get a star. That's why I'm slowly losing interest in playing this game. I've been a player since season 6 and used to play 3-5 hours grinding, but now it's not the same as it was before.”
