What players say
Mixed but leaning positive: players like the draft and management depth, while the match AI and frequent unexplained decisions frustrate many.
Many players enjoy the draft and strategy side: picking and banning champions, building comps around the roster, and managing finances, staff and the academy. Fans of the first game and of Football Manager-style sims find it absorbing, and they praise the frequent patches and workshop support. The main complaint is the match AI: players walk into fights alone, retreat too late or ignore objectives, and many feel the result is decided before the match plays out. Some players also say stats seem to have little visible effect, the interface is cluttered, the tutorial is thin, and the game runs poorly on some systems. Recent reviews are more negative than the older helpful ones, mostly repeating the AI and stat-impact complaints, while several long-time players say the game keeps improving with each update.
Praised
- Draft and strategy depth
Players enjoy picking and banning champions, building comps and studying the meta, which they find more involved than similar sports sims.
Many players - Frequent updates and modding
Developers respond to feedback with regular patches, and Steam Workshop support lets the community add champions and content.
Many players - Management and sim appeal
Fans of football-style management say the roster, academy, sponsors and finances create a strong management loop.
Some players
Criticised
- Match AI makes poor decisions
Players report units fighting alone, retreating too late, walking into groups or ignoring objectives, which breaks the match feel.
Many players - Results feel predetermined
Players say the outcome seems fixed before the match, so strong teams throw games and stats appear to change little on screen.
Many players - Unclear stats and weak tutorial
Players find it hard to tell which player stats matter, the tutorial leaves systems unexplained, and the interface is cluttered and hard to navigate.
Some players
- Who it suits
- Players who enjoy esports management, draft theory and spreadsheet-style decisions, and who accept an unfinished early access game.
- Who should skip it
- Players who want a polished match experience or clear, visible results from every decision should skip it for now.
Short vs. long playtime: Players with over 100 hours more often praise the modding, the draft and the frequent patches, while short-session players mainly report AI problems and confusion over the systems.
