    The matchmaking is bad.
    The balance is okay. There are some hard counters, but not as many as in traditional MOBAs.
    The community is just as toxic as LoL or DoTA.
    The grind is definitely real if you don't want to spend money.

    This game left a pretty bad taste in my mouth and the behavior of the developers hasn't helped.

    Pros: It is fun, fast paced, and a great game to play with friends. It seemed to have good potential and a passionate community.

    Cons: Oh boy.

    No Updates - Stunlock Studios released maybe 3 updates for the game before abandoning it. It didn't make them enough money so they didn't bother. Sound familiar?

    Unbalanced - This game has some horrible balance issues. Some characters are genuinely unplayable beyond casual games. Some characters are a MUST and some you shouldn't even bother learning.

    Toxic Community - Nearly every match is met with some level of insult or backhanded comment if you ever do poorly. No different than league of legends in that aspect. This could be alleviated by the developers but they have no intention of managing their community now or in the future. No report system.

    Shameless Cash Grab - This issue is ongoing between this developers multiple games. They are now currently releasing ANOTHER battle royale that is identical to their last. Across now 3 almost identical games the developers have the same list of characters and skins, however you must purchase each one with real money across each game independently. The developers actually released the exact same game twice, and charged full price to returning players for skins that were already over priced.

    I have no words to describe my disappointment in developers who choose money over hard work. Rome wasn't built in a day, and you can't make money from a bad game.    … Expand

    You wait 10 minutes for a game with death cycle and as a result, you play with single bots, so my score will be 4 games on restricted internet (most games are not played) but I will say that they are a game played on the internet, but they are a game that ends quickly.

    Battlerite is a paradise for those who cherish fair play above anything else. It’s a game of pure skill, devoid of any random elements. No critical hits, no scaling, no artifacts, no spells etc. Every ability deals the same amount of damage every time it is used. The gameplay is transparent, fast-paced and satisfying. [01/2018, p.62]

    If you are tired of big and complicated MOBA games and want something small and fast-paced, try Battlerite.

    To distinguish itself from the MOBA crowd, Battlerite went for pure, skill-based action and hit the mark dead center. The fluid mouse-and-WASD-driven combat makes every move count and the quick pace of its 10-minute matches never lets off the gas. Even with its lackluster randomized progression system robbing it of momentum, Battlerite keeps me coming back to improve and add to my bag of tricks along the way. Stunlock’s approach to MOBA combat creates a near-even playing field that makes each outplay feel earned, whether it was me or my foe picking up the win. These arenas are places I can see myself brawling for a long time to come.
