At it's core, it is a fun game. They have some great melee mechanics, aesthetics and overall engaging combat. Then you realize its a free to play game owned by tencent that is notorious for extracting profit and the issues bleed in. Here they are:

It is now impossible to approach this game as a new player. There are no wipes and none ever planned according to their road map. The devs have recently let players buy ingame gold for real world money. This has caused huge discrepancies in the player base. There is terrible matchmaking and a series of patches that do not address end game balance. So the new player and end game experience do not feel good.

You will be matched as a brand new player with someone with hundreds of hours, with gear far more powerful than yours. Skill will not win this match up because of their "gear level" system that adds 2.5% damage and reduces damage taken per level. You will be 2 or 3 tapped just through gear level alone.

It is a new game, but every patch comes with tweaks that do not make meaningful changes to the game's current issues, balancing problems or reflect the feedback the playerbase is giving them. This has caused a continuing decline of players, with dead lobbies.

Too bad, they had (have) a really great game on their hands and have made some "out of touch" decisions every patch and consistently without any communication.
