Honestly, this game has some problems. Many have been fixed since launch, but its far from perfect. I would call it a Diamond in the rough, but that would be too forgiving of its flaws. Its more like a flower in a suage drain...... Tainted by all the ♥♥♥♥ around it where as it would have been much easier to appreciate if it were'nt for the stench of garbage its entrenched in. For example, the community is rather toxic, and Ubisoft is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ company. I can't really blame people for not wanting the game because of that. However, i think it deserves alittle more credit than its currently getting at the moment.

UPDATE:
The game has since received dedicated servers, a ton of balance changes, and a total of 12 new heroes!

Disconnects rarely happen now, and alot of broken bugs, glitches, and explotes have been fixed. The game is in its best state and would highly recommend getting ESPECIALLY when its on sale. On top of all the fixes, they've implimented a training arena mode that aims to help newer players. On top of it all, the next few seasons are being dedicated to reworking current heroes in the game to make them more viable and more balanced.

Does it still need some work? YES. Is it still enjoyable in its current state? HELL YES. If you enjoy things like darksouls pvp, or just the idea of bashing your foes in midevil combat, I would highly suggest trying it out.

UPDATE 2: Yes, even after almost 1k hours on this game I'm still coming back often to play a few rounds and smash some skulls. Do I still recommend this game? Damn straight I do.
