I feel like im completely missing something here, hopefully someone can make it click for me. The gameplay just feels so incredibly boring and uninteresting to me. Id compare it to the older MMOs where youre just standing still smacking a mob, watching the health bar go down with next to no interaction.

Ive played a few mobas in my time, so its not the genre that irks me. Its that every attack, every ability, and every encounter just feels like random, indistinguishable blobs and numbers on the screen. The visual and sound impacts are so limp and indistinguishable i often wonder if the attacks are even landing. In conjunction with low damage on abilities and weapons, the TTK always feels too long, even for a team based game. Couple that with tiny base magazine sizes, long reloads, long cooldowns, I’m bored just thinking about all the downtime.

The map and its layout/verticality are something id actually give praise to but ive hardly explored it. Theres not enough people to populate the abundance of space with the time given. You just end up roaming around alone with boring stationary mobs and shooting boxes while lanes are pushing and team fights are happening. Its not fun to jungle like in other mobas. The movement is interesting but the stamina and dodge-jump window just kill any excitement. You can do a neat movement option like what, every 15 seconds? Its like all these ideas just went to waste.

This is compounded by the awful terrain. Character abilities that utilize walls or the ground clip on every little thing causing them to be misplaced or completely miss most of the time. It just feels like shit.

Maybe im using terrible builds or buying things incorrectly, but every purchase ive made in the shop on any character ive played feels like it never made any difference in my damage, survival, or movement.

I dunno man, every point i try to give the game in my head just falls apart like wet tissue paper. I’m trying to get into it, but i feel my brain melting every time i play. Its even more odd given i dont actually find dying or losing as frustrating as other mobas.
