Known bugs

• Ranked system — includes a point system and a few ranks (Bronze-Diamond)
• Matchmaking queue
• Sound effects and music — ability sounds, hit feedback, more music (a theme for each character)
• Health/mana pickups — items that spawn on the map that you can pick up
• Random buff spawns — like health/mana pickups, but give you cool buffs like super speed, infinite mana, or huge attacks
• Map variety — different arena layouts with obstacles or hazards
• Tutorial/training mode — single player practice to better adjust to game mechanics
