Game experience is mixed.

The applications of multiple classes can be extremely fun, especially with regard teamwork of abilities used together.
The game has occasional updates that are generally beneficial for game balance.

Very rapid learning curve that takes at minimum a few dozen games to get used to, hundreds to master.
New players are often taken unawares by game traditions and may sometimes be berated by older players for mistakes made.
the free to play token mechanics are relatively well balanced but can be a source of frustration due to reliance on other players on your team.

In my opinion:
The developers place a large responsibility on the community to teach new players how to play. with insufficient player counts to allow for skill based matchups, let alone consistently low lobby wait times, more experienced players can easily grow frustrated.

The in-game economy is geared in a free to play manner, appropriate to the game's current revenue model.
Accordingly, cosmetic items may take time to acquire due to the low average acquisition rate relative to their cost.
However, with the potential for consistent losses of in-game currency, it is possible for items to take periods in line with weeks to acquire, even for low cost items.

IMO, the developer response to the concerns of previous paid players was concerning. The stance of the developers that the paid customers had recieved their money's worth in the play time allowed before the free-to-play release was not unreasonable for most players, however it was somewhat insulting with respect to the communities financial investment.
The game is in a state that many did not expect and would not have supported given a choice. It is my opinion that more could have been done to adress this.

TLDR:

Exciting multi-class interactions
Good game balance

High skill curve
Few tutorial resources
Inconsistent currency gain
Prior conflict between developers and community
