So far, im really enjoying the game. Its very fun, has beautiful graphics, great mechanics and gamemodes. Also, customization is great and the loot system is good but could be improved.
The Good:
1v1, 2v2 and Dominion are fun game modes. They are in no way unfair and it really feels like i have to play good and work with my team in order to win (which a lot of games feature game modes that can just be won by one person).
Graphics are very nice, definetly next generation but the framerate could have been improved, nonetheless it does not make the game worse, it is still well playable.
The menu and AI are easy to navigate through and it runs smoothly (whereas on Rainbow Six Siege, the menu can be a bit laggy and get frustrating).
Connectivity wity friends is great, its very easy to invite a friend or join their game.
The variety of heroes are good, im glad they all feature different kinds of playstyles. Ive gone with the Peacekeeper personally, love her agile movement and quick attacks.
Customization for heroes is plentiful, lots of colours for each team, colours and patterns for each armor piece and different types of gear, with different looks and stats is cool too. I also like how you can change looks of items, like a transmog. You dont see much of them in games but instead of needing the item in your inventory to change the look, could we dismantle it and store that look in some sort of storage so we can swap between collected looks? And maybe include really cool looking weapons and armor in loot boxes or as a rare drop at the end of matches, that would be something to work towards.
Combat is easy to understand, the tutorial was very clear but it will be a game of learning your character to do well -which is very good- and win the game. Combos are cleverly designed, blocking and dodging is great and combat as a whole is well done
The Bad:
End of game loot seems very inferior, almost pointless. The XP seems to be the best reward i ever get. Maybe you could include a better steel gain and better loot drops at the end of the game? Maybe even with very low drop rates of cool looking and powerful gear, that would give a game more purpose to want to win (to take a shot at that gear i really want).
Apart from that, i dont think there is anything else that bad. Id just like to see better rewards for winning a game, it doesnt seem like much.
The Ugly:
The only REALLY bad thing ive seem up to yet is a game breaking bug to do with the gamemode 'Dominion'. Sometimes you will join, it will start and then i will be stuck in a loading screen so id have to restart, or id be put in a game but i can only see a black screen and cant control anything. Brawl and Duel work perfectly fine, but Dominion is the only one that is a bit buggy
Thats all i really have to say. It is by far one of the best Beta's ive ever played and i have already pre ordered it. Thank you, and keep up the outstanding work Ubisoft!

The gameplay is very nice and the graphics are very good. I like the fact that you are not forced to fight against "real" opponents. The AI is designed very well.
The biggest problem is the long-term motivation of the game, because the game modes are very boring. Taking points and battling on a relatively small surface does not provide a permanent game incentive.
Here UBI should think about other game modes, eg "real" castle wars. I mean, for example, that you have to fight with a 4 person team (gladly even more) from the castle gate to the throne room, in order then to meet a kind of final boss who has to be defeated. The gate from the throne room, however, only opens when all four main bosses have been turned off. Then you have to resist several attack waves, which try to recapture the castle.
What is also missing is a kind of guild system, so you could collect conquest points for your guild. Furthermore a playerranking would be nice.
