  It’s dota 2 if it were a very competitive 3rd person shooter. More of a MOBA than a hero shooter, and it’s very complex.

      There’s already some toxic muppets getting banned from matchmaking as well as rage quiters…not a whole lot but I have come across them in the week or so that I’ve played.

      There are a few people who do want to coordinate or even use VC, more than the above, but not a whole lot

  It is like Overwatch and Leaguen of Legends/Heroes of the Storm had a baby.

  It is a FPS MOBA.

    Not an FPS, but a 3rd person shooter.

      Close enough :P

    Everyone calling it a shooter MOBA is right, but more basically: It’s Smite. It’s just Smite, but good. I played the Smite 2 alpha and it was very lame, no verticality, gunplay felt bad. Deadlock has an original theme, gunplay feels tight, and there is clearly a huge skill ceiling. I don’t know if it’s 100% yet, which tracks cuz it’s an alpha, but it’s already better than Smite and I have faith they’ll make it better.

  No. More a third person Battleborn, actually. Or Dota with guns.

  And no, Battleborn never played like Overwatch.

    I really wanted battleborn to succeed on release even though it was just kind of flawed from a design standpoint. I kind of gave up on competitive fps games though since then though.

    With how chaotic the fights look like and how high the ttk looks to be, is the game still fun at lower-mid skill levels?

      Deadlock or Battleborn?

      I’d say yes. But you do have to figure out how to apply the MOBA way of thinking. How to stack the stats of items, abilities and leveling up, into doing a shitload of damage without dying.

      That applied to Battelborn, and it does in Deadlock, too.

        I was specifically asking how Deadlock felt.

        I’ve played quite a bit of MOBA’s before, coincidentally the other big third person ones Smite and Paragon, so I’ve got a decent feel for builds and macroplay and I’m not necessarily worried about those aspects.

        I grew up as a console gamer but exclusively play on PC now so I’ve found for fps games I have trouble competing because my aim isn’t as great.

  I think Overwatch is kind of dog shit and would take that game over Deadlock every time. May as well just skip the shooter and play DOTA.
