My friend tried to get me into it. I gave it a few hours, i couldn't do it. I'm not a fan of the playstyle....but that's not what made me give up on it.

It has a looong list of "classes" to play and an items list that's just as long. Using the right items is the key to winning in this game, as well as matching the right classes together with your group to form a strong comp.

The gameplay just didn't feel rewarding enough to compensate for the steep learning curve...IMO at least.

If you're planning on playing the shit out of it and playing it competitively, and learning everything about it from top to bottom, then maybe it's worthwhile.

If you're picking it up to be a casual gamer with it and play every once in awhile when you have nothing else to play, i don't recommend it.

In summary, you have to dedicate a lot of time with it to be any good. I mean a LOT of time. For me, the gameplay just wasn't worth the amount of time required to learn it.
