What players say

84% of 64,956 reviews are positive · 83% of 48 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the fast, mechanically demanding combat, short matches, and split-second team coordination. Their main complaint is that development stopped and the active population is now very small. Players also criticize the cost and time required to unlock champions.
