Illusion of Control reported on Dec 30, 2022
When you play with low level legends (Each champion or legend has individual leveling) the game pits you against bots that are very weak and play awfully to give you a sense of power that vanishes once you play against real people.
Complete the Collection reported on Dec 30, 2022
Legends, or this game's version of champions, are required if you want to play with all the options. If you lack the busted or unbalanced legends, then you're probably going to lose a lot.

Leveling up the "Legend Road" gives prizes.
