“Fun cool RTS game. Simple interface and very strategic. Match making sucks. Nothing like being new just to get reamed by players with thousands of games under their belts. I like it but not enough to be some other player’s punching bag on…”

“Oh god, it's so boring. Here is the enturety of the game: 1. Wait for units to spawn 2. Select units and send them to a circle 3. Now you have multiple spawn points, send those units to other circles 4. Repead ad naseum”
