I've played this game for a 100 hours now. I've learnt how to drag and accel, do a lot of ♥♥♥♥, yet this game is still too hard for me. The learning curve for this game is so big you'd have to be ready to invest more than a 100 hours of gameplay in this pile of ♥♥♥♥ to even become decent. The game has no competitive side and no matter what critic you go to that will say "this has the best combat" or even just "good combat" it really doesn't. The game is all about who exploits the most and who can exploit the most and a lot of techniques are so unreadable you can't do ♥♥♥♥. If you see some guy doing the ballerina dance when fighting you know he's a sweat.
When I first got the game I knew a bunch of people with a lot of hours spent on it, and I thought it looked cool, considering it was made by former chivalry competitive players. At first they said it was completely garbage and the combat is just broken as with the balance, I didn't believe them and I thought I just kept getting killed because I was trash at the game.

But now knowing a lot of stuff that new players don't, I can see why my friends were not so keen about this game. Dirty tactics like combo feint parry or broken animations like toe drags, no wonder there are no competitions around the game.

The developers are the ones who don't listen to any of the community suggestions and think they're doing the best thing for the game. One specific individual, i'm not going to name is the downfall of the management of this game. There are no serious tournaments because this game is just seeing who knows the most exploits, and the terrible matchmaking of ranked matches is just bruh.

Cosmetics. Listen, I like looking cool in video games, and a lot of the cosmetics in mordhau does look awesome but the price for some of them are way too high. Albeit this is just a nitpick, but levelling up and earning gold in this game is as slow as a turtle walking in thick mud. Horde gives you 1000 gold if you are at top and completed all 21 waves. And clearing through all 21 waves is no joke and especially due to the lack of players. The payoff is not worth the effort. Maybe there is a better way to level up but I haven't found it so far.

This game has an unresponsive dev team with a dwindling playerbase and I don't think it's getting fixed. If it does, thank god.

Update: Played the game after the eastern invasion update. Combo feint parry is gone, thank god. But that's it. The new map is great but this feels like a minor update rather than something we were promised. Horde mode's great but the progression is slow as ever.
Again, my opinion still stands the same.
