What lesson can we learn from the epic rise and fall of Deadlock?

What lesson can we learn from the epic rise and fall of Deadlock?

don't make shitty dei characters

mobaniggers don't like shooters, shootersissies don't like mobas

It's not even in public beta yet.
That is the main problem if anything.

Don't make your game "invite only", I refuse to beg for a code.

don't add a ranking to sister to a game still in alpha

Don't make yet another assfaggots.

It's not on epic, it's on steam retard.

maybe having failed overwatch pros be playtesters with dev input is a mistake

Honor your existing word to the community and hold the million-dollar tournament you promised.

Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.

You missed out deadlock during its peak because you refused to post a throwaway email here
fucking retard

make the game fun instead of boring gay annoying and bad

And also this and everyone on my Steam who played it said they hated it and dropped it fast.

Marathon stillborn and plenty of other extractors coming to also flop

Honestly its not in a bad spot to have its own niche. Even Valorant seems to have died off.

Valve was always mid.

fpbp
also fucking finally the captcha timer is shortened, dont have to wait a fucking century and then completely forget about it and have to wait another century again to post

More female feet and ass
Less black women. Black male characters are typically fine

Let me play it.

Don't make games that suck

my captcha has black and white garbage now instead of the other one which broke my auto captcha slider script
anyone else?

there is an extremely limited playerbase that exists for some frankenstein game like this
once you piss them off and they move on all you have is mentally ill freaks with 5000 games on one character in an alpha (in development for 7 years btw)

Black male characters are typically fine

It didn't save the first descendant though.
When will coomers learn that gameplay is more important than porn?

add ranked

game dies

rankedfags gate keep and scare any new player

Many such cases

It LOOKS like shit. Just a cacophony of visual vomit

They can't be more than 5% of the cast

Valve should be bullied into making singleplayer games and singleplayer games alone.

I've never played a minute of Overwatch
Seen many minutes of its porn

Does anyone actually still fucking defend Deadlock or did xey ACK?

Valve, like every other creative media enterprise in the West, is a shell of what it used to be and cannot create good entirely original ideas. Alyx was pretty good, HL3 may even turn out to be great, but they will never release a great new IP again. F

make a game thats too complex for shooter sissies but too micro intensive for casual mobafaggots

it was doomed to fail from the start

Sometimes simplicity is better than having 200 item combinations that counter every single character.
Do not add DEI characters.

players don't care about the difference between early access and a "real" launch

dei characters

Who is a dei character? I haven't played in a long time.

constant game-changing updates caused player burnout and when they became infrequent percentage changes people lost interest. there was no real way to win other than maybe shutting down the play test between substantial release phases to draw waves of engagement

if your women dont look like literal porn actresses its dei

you cannot make a competitive game with a high skill floor

valve has lost it

Gargoyle women are sexy.

I blame the ranked/comp mode and the retards who added it in or asked for it. The moment you add ranked, you asking for every little thing to be scrutinized and tweaked until the game feel is fucked up. Deadlock, like many other games, should have been made for fun first and anyone acting like a pro MLG gamer should have been told to get some pussy and touch grass instead of validated.

riot and blizzard have become valve cocksleeves who are literally sitting around waiting to copy everything they do

It'll blow up again when it releases and Valve implements loot boxes.

pretty much this valve needs to understand its 2025 no one wants to play a game that you cant auto pilot in and turn your brain off valve gives you to much control in their games and clearly people dont like that cerebral games dont have a place for people in 2025

at a glance the logo looks like it reads DEILOCK

What is the purpose of those shitty ass threads when game isn't even fucking officially announced?

So they can be retarded faggots

Post Vindicta feet

Pocket is non-binary

That valve hasn't made a good game in literal decades but people are willing to pretend otherwise for a few weeks.

thread IDs

suddenly most of stupid fucking shitpost is gone

Yeah. But keep boards in check, which is a bad thing.

Felt like they wanted to make a multiplayer competetive game in the Deathloop setting but it flopped
