no matchmaking.
terrible loading times.
poor net code.
mediocre hit boxes.
the menu closes when you respawn.
spacebar to spawn is lame.
you have to buy champions.
you can't disable viewmodels.
try a little harder next time, guys.

But it has crouch sliding, so that's cool I guess.

A good tower defense game, worth an hour or two over the weekend.

One of the most iconic games in existence for a good reason. Just about the best looter shooter you can get.

One of the best games ever made no doubt

Has problems.

Fix Duke Fishron game stage pacing, remove Plantera, re-balance Master Mode, incentivise no-hitting bosses, overhaul the summoner class, fix early game mobility, fix respawn time/respawn hp, make sleeping pass time 2-3 times faster, and fix smart cursor = perfection.

It's a hard stuck casual game, which is its worst characteristic, considering its potential.
It should be balanced around competitive, but it has far more fundamental problems than that.
Its net code is from 2007, it runs poorly on everything, it has gotten progressively worse in aesthetics since launch, it has virtually no anti-cheat, and it doesn't have active support.
