Crazy that this game killed both TF2 and CS
Crazy that this game killed both TF2 and CS
Finally
THE TF2 killer
It also managed to kill itself. Deadlock is nuts!
Icefrog gave you niggas tf3 be happy
Tf3? I hope you not tambout deadslop
What kind of turbo autist is this game supposed to appeal to? NEETs and high schoolers?
sex with ivy

Polishing Ivy's cock
this game is nothing more than a failed abortion. they should have given up on it as soon as the beta testing started, given how shit the game is
Post Ivy NOW.
and CS
dawg they're just adding community maps and calling it updates lol
I'm amazed at how they managed to make a game in "alpha" worse patch by patch like that.
Deadlock *was* fun. Then they ruined it with their dota2 mentality.
The character designs are shit
You're brown.
shitlock characters are mostly brown because its a game for browns
Terrible shooting mechanics
Terrible inconsistent movement
Not optimized whatsoever
Disgusting UI and interface
Boring ugly map
This game is nowhere near Dota, TF, or CS. It's garbage. If I want to play MOBA I will play Dota every single time. Third-person MOBA just doesn't work, it feels not satisfying. (Smite sucks ass)
The characters are probably the best thing about the game.
I played it for like 400 hours and had a blast, the only reason I stopped playing months ago is because the game looked way too ugly, understandably so because it's on beta. Also, they change things way too much, so I rather wait until it's fully out to play it again, the equivalent of watching a couple episodes of a good series but dropping it early because you want to wait for the entire thing to come out and watch it on one go instead of waiting week by week.
its forced dogshit. valve dont know how to make video game. cringe as fuck game like dota 2 with 10 second stuns and complete uninteractive OP bs
Cucklock players BTFO
What do you mean by this? From the beginning it was DotA2 with guns, made by the lead dev of DotA. What changed?
I'm actually astounded at how many people are still playing CS, I thought maybe CSGO fatigue and the CS2 fiasco would have cooled it down a bit but no. It's still hitting daily peaks of 1.5-1.8 million players that's fucking crazy.
Dog shit tedious unfun MOBAslop mechanics tossed onto a hero shooter
Who actually enjoys this garbage? No one wants a game where you get bodied by some netbuild gaylord, despite doming the cunt 10 times cause he shat out a one button ability
b but he used muh strategy
Post a game you like anon.

The item shop is easily the worst part of any of these games. It strips everything that could be unique about the characters and every lane becomes a counter-counter-counter-item race based on who can click the most orbs. Does your opponent have a CC ability that threatens you in lane? Well now with reactive barrier their ability does nothing. That gameplay interaction between those two players has been completely eliminated. What's the difference between Haze, Infernus, and Wraith in late game? Not a goddamn thing because every gun character including the "support" Ivy buys the same list of items. Wraith is a better stealth assassin than Haze once she buys Shadow Weave.
The only dev to really understand how ass and full of fake depth these games are was Blizzard when they stripped gold and shopping out of Heroes of the Storm and kept builds down to simple talent selection that still allowed for variations in play style for each character. HOTS leaning into the casual nature of ASSFAGGOTS made it hands down the best game in the genre.
stick to easy games lil bud, maybe minecraft is more your speed, make sure you pick creative mode
in internal alpha for 5 years
in open alpha for 5 years
still the worst fucking game valve has ever made
Congrats
MOBAs ARE easy games
every single one
Doesn't feel like a valve game
Nah, you have not seen shit yet, Just wait until the skin/story/lootbox shit gets added
That's why you are glazing the easiest and most brainless one, because they are all too easy and you like the easiest one among them.
hmm
the gameplay is better when you strip the extra dogshit off of it
It IS easy. It IS simple. Isometric gookclick gameplay where you only control one character with at most four buttons to push. Covering that up with 208 items to buy in the shop like DotA doesn't make the game any more complex or interesting. It's homework.
uh huh, have you started up minecraft yet?
"oh yeah that happened" the game
deadlock thread
not a single Ivy posted
What the fuck is going on?
I do think the frenetic gameplay doesn't mesh well with shopping for items, but using HOTS as an example of a game that understood the genre the best is not very convincing.
Dota got nothing on Starcraft boy. Stay in your lane.
I have never met a deadlock player
frenetic
Not even, but that's what quickbuy is for
So what do we think about the total item rework?
I like the new art and items, parrying spells is really fun.
Remember when those shills were trying to pretend that any of the designs were fuckable during the first couple days it was out?
Some of the items are wack atm, but it's a very good direction that they're taking.
The game has like six mobility mechanics. And it's a shooter. You're constantly dashing and zipping and jumping and juking and strafing and then you stop to buy something from a store. Meanwhile, in a MOBA, you just left click where you want to go on the map while browsing the shop.
It became MORE like DOTA you fat retard.
cs2 is good
stick to your casual game scrub, I only play hardcore games for hardcore gamers such as myself!
wait, why is there no one else playing this?
CS has nearly 100x the 24 hour peak player count
18k vs 1.5M
The games hardly overlap at all
Game is unironically too difficult. The movement is too complex compared to any other modern MP game (there's a reason Titanfall died) and then you add on all of the abilities and items that you have to remember and it becomes ridiculous. A shame because it's fun but nah I ain't dealing with all that.
OP is talking about dev resources tho
Valve is all in on HLX and Deadlock and it shows
Icefrog
It appeals to Icefrog
And no one else
It's almost incredible just how opposed the TPS and MOBA audiences are. Neither like this game.
Who gives a shit? Micromanaging item builds will never be fun in a shooter no matter what Valve does. The two are fundamentally opposed.
Except none of that movement shit matters because the game still boils down to farming bots and split pushes
Actually engaging the enemies in your lane is a waste of time at best and throwing away your economy at worst. There is zero incentive to PvP for the first 15 minutes
Not to mention there's tons of abilities to slow/freeze/root that are piss easy to land
because it's on beta
Wait I thought it's still in Alpha?
It's still in alpha. As in actual alpha not a marketing alpha.
A chunk of those players are bot farms for the cases just so you know. Until valve pulls the plug on em, who knows.
Go to use ability on opponent that is out of position
dodge dodge slide wall jump dodge air dash
I hate movement mechanics like these, feels like it's only for sweats who spend more time practicing these than actual game knowledge
troonlock
both dota and deadlock are not easy games, you only say this because league of legends is by far the most popular.
assfaggots
Easy
Maybe on a complete vacuum compared to standard RTS. Dota gets harder as you learn to play, not only individually but also as team.
Shit have the highest skill ceiling in vidya.
I can see a fun mode being made as a mod from this game
Mobas
Skill ceilings
Lmao
You're mistaking meta knowledge and skill
Moba's have an incredibly LOW ceiling for skill expression
Icefrog and his consequences have been a disaster for Valve's ability to make multiplayer games
Valve hasn't given a shit about making games since portal 2. It's well known that they use a "just work on what you want" system and after Portal no one could get a team together to develop a game so all the developers valve had acquired fucked off.
They've essentially been a hardware company for a very long time now.
More like dead and clocked!
