Hey kids, you ready for another online only multiplayer battle game with live service business models and match making centered around sweaty tryhards rather than community building and playing for the sheer fun of it? Do you want to learn dozens of characters intricacies to eek out a marginal advantage that will snowball into a hard fought victory to climb a recurring nightmare that is known as competitive league play? Do you want to play a casual mode that feels exactly the same but with worse teammates? Are you ready for no fricking fun at all? Well Valves got you covered! Its free to play so hop in you drooling r-slur!

Maybe this is because the only multiplayer game I've played in like 5 years is online chess, but that sounds insane to me. What's the point of playing against people who are considerably worse than you?

Why play a competitive game if you just want to freeplay? Why not just have a group of friends you can play games like that with?

The problem is they aren't making a whole lot of games like that anymore. Everything is trying to be "skill based" and become an esport now.

I do think it's kinda weird how a lot of these 'skill based' games lack any form of emergent gameplay or weird tactics other than conforming to the meta, though

except "eachother up" only happens in games with sbmm
you can see this in action in team fortress. any midwit with a brain can dominate a pub, but as soon as they come up against other people with brains they start pissing and pooping about how the SOUL (ae, they can't brainlessly stomp 8 year olds) of the game is gone

The good thing about skill based matchmaking is that no matter how good or bad you are or however much or little you play, everyone can experience the joy of close competition

I'm in the beta as well and I think the game's pretty good for where it is in the development process. Videos and screenshots don't really do it justice.
A big issue that I've noticed is that there's no proper tutorial and the game doesn't tell you concepts like lasthitting, wave management, staring at the minimap, roaming, buying items when you can, etc. that come naturally to a MOBA player but mean nothing to people coming from e.g. Overwatch.
7.5/10

There were literally 100+ RTSs released in the late 1990s and I didn't find Deadlock to be anything special.

Anyway yeah, it's so fricking boring to play, reminds me of smite with how low impact and spammy everything feels.
Laning is decently fun but the game totally sucks after that
