The game wasn't on my radar either. I only played it because some of my old PlanetSide 2 outfit mates were running a 6v6 training night and invited me to join. They assured me I'd be fine because of my ability as an FPS player but they completely underestimated how little I knew about MOBAs (I didn't even know this game was a MOBA, I have basically never played the genre previously because I find it so uninteresting).
I got absolutely destroyed and thought about uninstalling but decided to give it another week of play by myself and put some time into learning the basics. I'm really glad I did, it has been unexpectedly enjoyable and something really different. I am a large scale shooter (PlanetSide, Battlefield, etc) player primarily and the state of that sub-genre is absolutely dire, so it has been so revitalising to actually find something fun which also feels like it has a future.
