- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Got an invite to the playtest from a friend recently.
I should not have accepted it. This game is going to consume my soul
I just want to provide a contrasting opinion to the other response here. I and a few of my friends have tried it and we just aren't ready to dedicate way too much time to learning a game that seems to want to be almost as complex as DOTA2. So many characters, map mechanics, and item builds to adapt to the situation (this one in particular) - its just too much. Like, pick two and maybe I'd find it worth my time to start learning, but the complexity of all 3 make the game too daunting.
That's where I'm at with it. I can't get into a game knowing I don't have the energy to get good at playing...
I've been busy travelling but somehow already reached 30+ hours playtime... and still only tried a few heroes. redacted is my fave thus far, I like how redacted is redacted.
I like how they say "It's redactin time" and then redacts all over them.
They lifted the info embargo! You can talk about it now! I’m having an amazing time with Abrams except when I play teams that know how to parry. Laning can be tricky at first, but his regen is so good you can somewhat ignore the other hero and focus on last hitting.
Hey friend.
Any chance I could get an invite. I've been wanting to give it a try.
