This game does have potential, but unfortunately it is simply not in a finished state. It lacks numerous features that would be expected of a $5 game of a similar type.
There is no way to see any information about any of the champions (that I found at least) even including their names. The only thing you can see is which role they play but only in the draft screen. I suspect this might be because champions have no info (no damage typing, HP, scaling, early prio, ect.). The only way I knew any of the champions is that I played league of legends, which if I didn't I would have no idea.
To test this I tried drafting a comp of (Champs photos based off of):
Teemo Top
Karthus Jng
Ori Mid
Viktor Bot
Xerath Sup
This is an all AP team with low prio and 0 frontline. Realistically you should never win a game with this draft (my intention was to lose), but we managed to win in 17 minutes (which is near unheard of even in the biggest stomps).
The opponents also can only draft in their order from top to sup. You can't see your or opponents champ mastery in draft, which seems to be the only thing that matters along with player overall.
Everything else also feels very clunky. Training is confusing and rough looking. Free agency is also very bare-bones and weird. Doublelift and Uzi both accepted my offer immediately when I tried GGS, which would never realistically happen. There is no player region, no language, and no academy or youth system. Outside of current starters and a few former pros, there are no good options to improve your roster.
The strongest point is playing a match itself, which is also flawed but a good start. I enjoy seeing the live gold, cs and KDA, and watching the towers and drags is nice. However the matches seemingly end super quick on average (20ish min) and you have no idea where your players are or what they are doing.
Most of these issues are forgivable especially for a new launch, but the complete lack of draft importance or strategy really stings and makes it feel pointless. The price is also very very high.
I really really want this game to do well. Once some updates come out I will happily revisit this and if the core issues are fixed I will change my review, but until then I cannot recommend this game as it feels very unfinished and broken.
