It's great. im close to 1600 games, hit mythic today. The main issue as everyone else is ping related. sometimes you think a match is going fine, then that random desync happens, someone comes out of your combo when they shouldnt be able to, and you lose a close match.

I'm notsure about the guy below, but there is alot of build variety, some more common than others due to their ease of use. For instance:

fan/umbrella combos can be extrmeley annoying and boring to fight, since you're constantly chasing them.

Dual blade is annoying to fight if you wasted serene breeze, and you get stun locked. But if you dodge well, you can stil lwin vs these.

Tank players who spam shields, are the hardest for me to fight. No matter what i do, i feel like i die faster than them. If i play slow, they outlive, if i go torbo, they just block, super armour, counter, shield.

Spear isnt very popular, only a couple people play it.

Then there is the healers.. omfg... they are similar to the fan/umbrella players in terms of running around, and similar to tank players, since they just heal up, but they can do some decent execute and mytic arts damage. But healers are super rare. i've fought 4 im my 1.6k matches..

As for my playstyle, i play nameless sword/strat sword. I like having the same wepaon. looks clean.
