Tp4 can't fords either game @ current price,  so Tp4 plays what he can gets.. (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/embarrassed4-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862503)

Good game with a lot of promise, but in no way is an "Overwatch Killer"

Ok.. Just played a round against the PC...

hrrrmmm...

This game has alot of High frequency visuals, which means playing at lower resolution  is going to be really crappy experience, because everything is aliased, especially the special-fx..


Turning the visual quality up, I think only people with 970 and above will be able to get decent frame rates..

This is a good place, since 970 has entered the $200 bracket..



But Tp4 can't play this game with his setup.. gpu too slow..

it feeeels kinda like p2w...  because it seems to take a long as time to unlock these cards..

Unlocking is stupid...   It's fundamentally pay to win, because you have to invest time into unlocking..

whereas if you just stick with cosmetics only,  then it's a fair game..
