I’m a dota 2 veteran, 6k hours or something embarrassing like that, but it’s been me and my friends primary outlet of hanging out for forever and it’s a lovely game.
Got invited to deadlock, wasn't that interested but wanted to have a go anyway. Damn, it actually goes kinda hard? Character designs are awesome, i like the moba elements (I could see how you wouldn’t be if you don’t have a background in them tho), the controls feel great, etc.
I guess i was just surprised by how much I enjoyed playing it despite being pretty bad at it and having no idea how to evaluate items.
Thoughts?
When the first leaks got out and I saw they literally just made one of the characters an old silver haired Native American archer guy I immediately assumed "oh this is their no effort early alpha placeholder before they make the real archer character, clearly" because I just assumed that at this point Valve clearly would have more creativity and basic cultural sensitivity to not just make their characters 100% lazy stereotypes.
They've managed to be behind Overwatch on this kind of shit, and that's despite Overwatch making the ability to climb walls a genetic trait of Japanese people.
Yeah it's so incredibly cringe. Not to mention the psychic damage you'd have to endure as a Turtle Island native unlucky enough to stumble upon this shit when you think you're about to have a fun time playing a video game.
