TLDR: constant disconnects while under 15 ping, voice chat doesn't work, some poorly designed ops. Mostly avoid due to tech issues at this point.

redownloaded this game after a few months of not playing due to issues I had with the direction of the game design. They've since implemented a ban system which was something me and a lot of other players suggested. It's a good system, but unsurprisingly poorly designed characters like clash are banned virtually every game which pretty much just costs one otherwise normal/strong character from being banned. So there's still an issue with poorly designed characters.

This game has always had plenty of bugs, but I came back to find that I just don't have an in game voice chat anymore. It's just not there. A quick peek at reddit and other forums I see plenty of other players with this huge issue considering how important communication is in this game. Apparently it may have something to do with American University's firewalls? IDK. That sounds weird. I also disconnect almost every game while under 15 or so ping.

Anyway game still needs a ton of work. It's better than where it was a few months ago, which in my opinion was borderline unplayable due to Clash. At least now you can ban her. I still think there are game design issues as well, I don't think a tactical shooter should have such OP gadgets that there's are "must ban" characters regardless of map. It ain't a Moba. Metas shouldn't be universal across all maps. That being said there are some really well designed and interesting characters as well, like Mira.

I personally enjoy the game since I've played since launch on console, but I wouldn't recommend it to a new player at this state.
