Con Not much to do for new players
Keeps recommending new player to play rank while the only hero one would have is Minerva and the log in bonus for new players would only award you one hero at most, such as a Rockman, which is worse compared to VG, ML and AoV that would award new players around five heroes for logging in or playing the game.
Con Stale meta
Certain items - e.g. Searing Longsword. Demonic Mask - have been so overwhelmingly strong that they have been staples for years. They have moulded the meta and pushed older heroes out of competitive playability completely. Instead of buffing/nerfing items and heroes to keep the game fresh, the developers have just added extra features to the game in the form of different modes, or tried to hide the problem by releasing increasingly powerful heroes.
