To me what really killed off a lot of their players is the fact that you literally have to PAY your way into this game. They give you one SR in the beginning. Wow, so gud.... except it doesn't really help at all with F/AW, being a newbie. I know a lot of more veteran players didn't start out with a SR at all in the beginning, but really, it's a big rocky start for every player.

For one, adding a BP cost for FAWs threw out every opportunity for f2p rankers to rank. I am a hardcore ranker myself, so this really pisses me off because I don't actually pay for my cards or anything else in this game.

Another small thing is the x10 and 5x dmg that give a 30% bonus points when put into the team. I don't know about other F2P players but I don't pop out premium/ultimate/300 jewels out of my arse to get those. In fact, it would be amazing if I did. But jokes aside, a lot of the points I get can't even compare to the amount a payer gets. They are suppose to get benefits, I know, but it feels like the game is geared specifically for payers and they toss aside f2p players as just part of the crowd.
