When the game first hit retail the game wasn't garbage since it had potential. Game sites rated it 7-8/10. (

The game had such promise. That DotA feeling without the limitations of bnet and the war 3 engine. The promise of team match making, an extensive map editor and achievements. Well it has been three months and where are those promised features? Why does it seem like the game is getting less stable with each patch? Why do patches break things that were never broken before? Why is it that I have to pause every other game since someone dropped from the game? Why does the current match making system have no one playing it? Why did they invest time into the report a player system when they aren't even using it anymore? Why did they hire a guy with a psych degree? The list goes on and on.
Is the game garbage? It's hard to say. I still play it despite all these flaws. It's probably not an 8/10 anymore, more like a 6/10. However I don't think i'm going to ever buy another S2 game.
