You can’t go more than a few missions without getting hit with another ad. On top of that, the game forces you to keep upgrading your weapon after almost every mission just to continue progressing. Instead of rewarding skill, it feels like the game is constantly trying to slow you down and push

Matchmaking is completely broken. if you don’t spend money prepare to be thrown in lobbies where you are the low character that’s just farmed for XP. The weekly giveaway, just get ready to get 50 gems every time. And the worst part the ads!!! They never stop even if you spend money
