What goes wrong
Matchmaking has hit Stage 4 Overwatch 1 levels of bad. Unplayable balances between teams, seems like devs only care about squeezing out left over skin design money than feedback at this point.
I WANT MY RIVALS ACCOUNT BACK
on pc it has a mass amount of hackers in the games and it seems like the developers do nothin bout it.....i do not recommend this game to anyone.....ever
anytime an ability with particles or additional objects goes off in my sight, the frames drop to .05/second.
Devs actively sabotaging the community at every opportunity.
What goes well

This game runs horribly even on high-end PCs SINCE LAUNCH and according to my knowledge has not been fixed and continues to get worse.
