Gameplay gets painful and retarded over time
At first game appears to have some of the best gameplay mechanics... Sadly after a while lots of really broken mechanics show up that ruin all the plesure. The best example are faction wars - despite being matched with much stronger teams than the one you are using it is not hard to win however, due to the combat mechanic, those wins do not provide any satisfaction, there is only frustration - tapping your skills gives you nothing as AI just and can execute its skills first because of that - ok that is how it works but why make it that way? Human player may sometimes miss his attack window but AI does not. It is just one example of many. Still it is not that hard to win but it is just not enjoyable experience when your character do not follow your commands because mechanics does not allow it when AI is doing their move - btw AI is really good at stopping players combos, TOO good many times. Fix matchmaking system, switching and attacking mechanics and AI timing as it is really bad right now - you can create some harder combos instead of creating loopholes in mechanics that put human player at disadvantage just because he is not a machine - that is the worst way of making your game more challanging as it make it far more frustrating and your wins feel less rewarding as you are mad about the mechanics instead.
