I thought it was great. I liked having to build a deck suited for the affixes. It frustrates me there more so in other content, than in BGs. Point scores were lower, so what?
It was horrible specially the VT meta, it was not challenging it's totally roster dependant, you have a counter? Good there's no node then but if you don't there's no way to play around it other than parry and pray for pacify mastery to trigger which has 30% maximum, I don't mind having hard/challenging nodes but not the restrictive ones like this season, or any node that requires specific immunity
Is a bad joke, specially on gladiator circuit when you have to parry heavy to remove the charges in order to inflict damage and the controls do not respond.
I liked it. Felt it rewarded those that thought about the best match ups and counters and maybe punished those that have relied on the same old nukes to just smash their way through the previous 3 seasons.
The nodes were bad but the match making just made it even worse. Prestige accounts for top 4 champs only on the player profile. Not the 30 in the deck which may or may not include those 4 champs. Hopefully that changes in the next season. There must be better ways to eliminate or discourage sand bagging.
I could of been both really fun & really accessible had the armor buff not lasted 30 seconds. 10 or maybe 15 would of been great. Probably would of put a halt to pausing
So it started rough, was still rough.. then after all the "modders" I mean good players rose the ranks. I redid my deck 4 times and finally got a decent diverse group. Figured ok ban the champs I have a hard time against then the big boys hulking galan (I found myself out smarting my opponent and not banning them) I was able to rise the ranks easily then I got into gc the last week. Was so happy not having to deal with vc nodes anymore and then actually ranked the highest so far of 142 in gc.
Overall I did not enjoy it, I wouldn't find myself going to play bg and just have fun. I would only play on the 48 hr challenge refreshing but it was fine.

Just feel for those with a shallow roster, this month required very specific champs.. i had to bench some R3s to use 5*
It felt a bit overtuned to the point that it should have been a Gladiator Circuit meta.
