The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of ads, particularly long unskippable ones after matches. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, the overall sentiment leans towards the game being overly aggressive in pushing ads and microtransactions, leading to a perception of it being a "pay-to-win" experience. Despite some players finding enjoyment in the gameplay, the heavy reliance on ads and the pressure to spend money detracts from the overall experience.
