Pros
Pro Terrific melee multiplayer
You can cut off arms and heads and use them as weapons.
Pro Complexity makes the game challenging and interesting
Each weapon plays uniquely - some are better at quick jabs and some are better at broad strokes. You can completely change up combat by switching up weapons, which means there is a lot more to learn.
Pro Chaotic, fun gameplay
Player vs player combat can be pretty crazy, countering spells with a shield to try and hit the shooting opponent with their won spells, not to mention frantic running around, all the while shooting and countering the chaos.
Pro Multiple, varied game modes
There are three available modes of play, the first being a three lane MOBA, the second a team death match and the third a duel mode.

Con Poor single player
The single-player is more of a tutorial for multiplayer than a full campaign.
Con Player must pay in order to succeed
The items that can be purchased in the game with real world cash can give a player an instant advantage over others who do not pay.
