This is the first MOBA that I have ever played, and I am loving it so far. When I first started playing I was getting absolutely demolished, but I recognized that there was a lot of strategy hidden beneath the depths of a beautiful façade, so I continued to play. Once you start picking up the strategy the game becomes much more enjoyable to play. There are lots of tactics and deck building that were not apparent to me as a new MOBA player, so if you are new to these types of games as well definitely look up some beginner strategy guides to get you going. The different hero types play very differently. If you manage to sneak up on a lone ranger with a fighter for example, you will probably demolish them in a matter of seconds, but if they can hold you at range they can slowly pick you apart without danger to themselves. There is a lot of teamwork involved in this game, and I'm really surprised that they do not support the use of headsets. You want to optimize XP gain across your team (split lanes), but also team up against enemy heroes for easy kills. I'm just breaking the surface of the strategy involved and I hope I can find some better players to team up with and learn some things from. Some quick tips - You gain much more XP from getting the killing blow on a minion or hero. Try to time the kill shot as often as possible so you get all the XP. - Much of this game is about flanking other heroes. You will learn very quickly that trying to defeat two other players at once is almost impossible. Try to flank and lure other heroes into making mistakes so that you can double team them. - People never seem to go for the red orbs in the jungle. At the beginning of the match it is difficult to defeat these minions, but once you've leveled up a couple of times they are an easy kill and give you a significant stat increase. - Make sure someone on your team is placing harvesters and that people are collecting from them regularly. They provide card points for the entire team at once, granting quicker stat increases for your team. - I don't use wards, but probably should. Being able to sneak up on enemies is key to getting easy kills. Allowing the other team to sneak up on you when you are caught in a battle with low health is not good. - Don't feed the enemy. Every time you die you provide a significant amount of XP to the other team. Do not continue to rush in and die, and die, and die. You will give the other team a significant advantage. If you are not able to hold your own against enemy heroes try to provide other types of support, i.e. harvesters, wards, kill jungle minions, or wait and sneak up on enemies when your team mates engage them.

This is really a pretty terrible game. It is beautiful and the gameplay is pretty entertaining at first, but it quickly becomes super repetitive. After hours of play you start to realize that the only reason you are playing is so that you can find better gear. You will spend hours replaying the same exact missions over and over in the slim hope that you will find a sweet gun. I finally put down the controller when I realized that I was trying to find better gear for multiplayer and realized that I didn't even like playing multiplayer. Back to COD for me, in my mind the only multiplayer FPS worth playing.

I am really surprised that this game has such a bad user score (6.7 at time of writing). I love this game. It is hilarious and very satisfying to play. I have a much better time playing this exaggerated version of football than playing madden, and breaking bones and causing injuries is super satisfying lol.
