I like strife because it has alot of innovative features which keep you playing. I almost never go back to base; you're always playing and no down time, except death. Buing in lane allows you to always be fighting your best, instead of sitting on 2000 gold with the enemy hero at your tower, pinned and weak because you can't buy items.

Also the boss objectives are more interesting than other MOBAS I've played. I probably have 500 hours on LoL, and I can say I really prefer Strife. The meta is more interesting and I feel like the heroes are more balanced. The problem with LoL is there are too many heros, the newest ones seem to be so gimmicky.

Crafting makes the game also interesting, you can change an item to more closesly fit a particulat hero. But crafted items also cost more gold in a match, so it's not so OP as others have said; I think it's actually pretty balanced. You do have a little grind, but you start the game being able to craft one item. After 20 hours of play I have 4 items crafted; it's not that bad and like I said, you don't want to have every item crafted becuase your early build will suffer.

It seems early build is more important than late build, whichever team can do more objectives usually wins (althogh not always). The objectives are actually pretty hard, and scale as the game progresses.

Towers do hit harder than other mobas it seems, but they don't regen except for the last tower, which has a shied which regenerates (but not the health). Getting ticks off early go a long way.


Overall recommened. I have more fun playing this game than playing LoL.
