The game's free-to-play model with microtransactions and 'pay-to-win' elements poses a significant risk, as players can buy gear to gain an advantage, potentially leading to unfair competition and pressure to spend. The competitive nature, combined with team fights and social comparison, may foster competitive toxicity and social obligation. The game also features variable rewards and escalating commitment mechanics designed to maximize engagement.
