“Great game, terrible community. Until you come up with a solution regarding afk players (happens almost every game), I cannot play this game.”
“I think that after over 1000 hours in this game, after supporting it from pre-release I cannot recommend it any longer. Every patch the time to kill grows shorter, crowd control becomes more oppressive, and matchmaking seems to get even…”
