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?

    Yeah that makes a lot of sense. I guess that's very similar to the setup in CS - Amerikkkan invaders or rebels, pick your team. Except deadlock is much more character focused obv, so if you can pick whichever character for whichever team, then the fashiness just becomes their personality.

    Idk which I prefer tbh lol. I'm picturing a Dota-like scenario where the opposite team's fash character on my lane is killing me over and over, and then a chud playing a fash character on my team is yelling slurs at me. And I'm stuck in the game for another 50 minutes. Not my idea of fun haha. I guess I am a little interested to see if any of the aspects of that specific experience aren't as bad in Deadlock, but not interested enough to find out.
