Pay to play and they keep patching it to intentionally remove any mechanics that help play the game without paying. They made a decent game but they expect too much for too little. Worth a full $40-60 retail price if it came with every pixel the game had to offer like a real game would. Instead they'll charge you $100 for essentially nothing but things designed to make you pay more. The matchmaking system will force whales against fresh players too. Don't want a whale to struggle.
