Doom's review.
I'm still kind of a skeptic about Siege. Especially if you are on a crappy team, you can spend an entire game questing, with basically no player interactions. There are a lot of gem ninjas (to some extent including myself) who steal all the gems early game and are ridiculously overpowered. Nearly every game I've played has had the same flow, with the same places taken at about the same times. Lastly, the bosses are by and large uninteresting, with all of their cool abilities removed for the sake of balance.
Bug did do quite a few things well, however. The game is balanced. The game has a decent learning curve, no where near as complicated as DotA, EotA, or most others. If you are using a lane pusher, you can have decent player interactions. Pushing with your siege golem is quite fun.
Overall ratings:
Balance: 4/5
Replayability: 3.5/5
Enjoyment: 3-((X-5)^2)/5, where X is number of games played
