Great game. Running on PC with KBM. Fantastic fun once you're good at it and winning often and still can be fun when you're getting stomped as a comeback can be just a few good quaffle goals and 1 snitch grab away. The gap between casual and serious is already widening. Do not listen to people that say it's hard to score with the Quaffle, I routinely drop 5 goals a game as a Chaser that secondarys as a keeper. The game has a great balance of being short rounds where chasers, seekers, keepers and beaters all play vital roles that, when done well, can turn the tide of a match.

Needs: Ranked mode. This is definitely a competitive game. It needs 6v6 though I do quite enjoy 3v3. Better server region finding (Routinely play on 80-130 ping and for this game it affects a LOT of fast events dodging, shooting, keeping etc.) But I've had 16 ping so there must be good servers, it needs to prioritise those better pings.

Has: Good flight movement with great dodge manoeuvre system. Even with a bad keeper or seeker you can take over a game as chaser and drop 5-7 goals. Hitboxes can be a bit iffy, sometimes I'll see the ball in my arms after a steal but then its back to the opposing player, this is probably ping related though. Broom stats are cool, as well as plenty of character options.

Overall, a really solid game that should probably use the Rocket League model of Free to play with cosmetics, ranked competitive and nightly tournaments. I believe a lot of my game related concerns are due to server region and ping and with good prioritising and more of an Oceania playerbase (Playing from Aus) this would be mitigated.
