Good, let’s bring back shame for non-competitive behavior.
Is Deadlock going to lean any further into being a shooter, or should I just start filtering the term “Deadlock” for being an unfortunately-awesomely aesthetic’d MOBA? Cause keeping it a band, getting crashed out on by a League-toucher in my first match during playtests no less was enough to make me want formats where the League and DOTA-touchers would not be. Like, if mfs already crashing out on 106% toxicity before day zero even hits, I already know ion’t wanna be in these queues.
Without non-MOBA formats, all I see this as is superfluous in the face of DOTA, and just another Valve Thing™ in the way of TF2 ever getting back on its feet the same way Smite keeps getting in the way of Paladins.
Wtf did I just read?!
A HexBear post.
I’ve long since blocked HexBear , but will occasionally click the “show me anyway” button just to validate that decision. I’m somehow still surprised by the advanced stage brainrot every time.
almost, it’s missing the obnoxious reaction image, though helpfully another user supplied that in a reply.
If the game is not for you, just play something else
We got ourselves a GAMER here bois
I already uninstalled it, brodie. I’m allowed to be disappointed that something with banger aesthetics is populated by gaming’s most toxic; and wish for the other parts of its formula to be leaned a little harder into.
Like, do you realize how the way you came thru with the “just leave if it ain’t for you” makes you sound like you’re running cover for hard-R spewing League-touchers?
Its a competitive game, it’s going to be free 2 play, so it’s naturally going to attract all kinds of people, including the heated, toxic, and as you put it hard-R league players. It comes with the territory of playing a competitive PvP only game. Report them, laugh at their smooth brains, mute them, and move on.
I’ve been playing quite a bit since May, and I’ve encountered way more friendly people in voice comms than not. Most matches are silent with people only using the ping system/wheel the game has baked in. About 1/2 of my losses are hit with a “gg ez” in text chat though. I respond along the lines of congrats bro, you’re better than me at a closed beta testing game with an NDA. 😂
Running cover for them though…Cmon now…thats a huge stretch…
Those are a bunch of terms I don’t know. Go enjoy whatever that is I suppose. Or not, that’s also fine.
I’ve had far less obnoxious people in deadlock compared to Dota. There was some smart decisions to have fewer defined “roles” and less emphasis on having one or a few players pop off with all the resources.
The game itself is so solid, has good balance, the movement and abilities are fun… It’s good. Some people are going to get annoying and sweaty in a comparative snowbally team game. I like to thank them for making my games a win-win. Either I get to win the game, or my obnoxious teammate gets to lose.
I too hate the average g*mer but I’m not going to let them steal my enjoyment.
