Not recommended Oct 2, 2026

This game used to be really fun, But now it is nothing but a shell of itself... They changed and nerfed so many Legends the skills and ultimate's feel terrible/borderline unplayable. They ruined two of my favorite legends Revenant and BloodHound!. Don't waste your time with this game...
