Aiming is Optional at Deadlock's Lowest Rank: Initiate

Similar to Herald in Dota 2, Deadlock Initiate comes with a lot of hilarious moment and interesting choices to how people play and approach the game! I reviewed the second game of Initiate to see just how they perform and who comes out on top in these matches.

Are you Initiate rank? Send me your replay # and why you think it's a funny match!

[@McFrank_]

26474643 This is a goo man match. I started out in Initiate 4 but have been dropping every week. I'm now in initiate 2. Do you mind helping with some improvement tips or to overall roast the gameplay.

#26790180 I am initiate V, and although it is rather high-end game for the rank, it was an absolute 50 minutes long struggle where me as Ivy and the team were at a constant disadvantage in souls and kills, with a banger ending. Also has some unconventional tactics I rarely see in initiate games

[@FloppaTheBased]

27890867 pretty funny late game with several comebacks from both sides, dumbest rejuv steal and epic ending where we all died and our last teammate finished the patron on his last hp (I played pocket)

[@xsfanberscretcer92]

I cant believe all those players have at least 50 games already

[@gyanprakash7445]

Feedstreak probably

[@BeauBordeaux]

do u need 50 for a rank or something?

[@gyanprakash7445]

@@BeauBordeaux every other modes (lab, rank)

[@gerardoperea914]

@@BeauBordeaux You need 50 matches to start ranking, it is kind of surprising how they play for needing at least 50 matches lol

I think what the Abrams was doing at 8:12 wasn’t tbagging, it was actually doing a curtsy as a thank you to Ivy for the healing. Very wholesome

[@TorteDeLini2]

Haha

[@BlutigeTranen]

I agree. It's the Deadlock version of the DayZ friendly wiggle

[@lenacarey2333]

GOD I didn’t realize that Abrams’s username was WhiteBoi, when you said “white boy come on” it caught me so off guard

[@dankomancer]

Thanks for using one of my games! I noticed I was lollygagging in yellow there at the end and should have rotated and pushed straight into their base. Macro is probably the hardest part of the game right now.

[@jm-holm]

Honestly they don't look as bad as I'd expect from such a low rank. Some of them even aim decently well so I guess their rank comes down to bad decision making. Looking at the map at some points that seems about right. They're not awful awful at what they're doing, they just have no idea what they should be doing.

[@TorteDeLini2]

That's my perspective as well. They have got good gameplay mechanics, it's the fundamentals that is lacking

[@FloppaTheBased]

No they're just bad at pressing buttons right and have slow reaction. Like abrams punching a wall is the reason why he's initiate. Imean even ascendants don't really care about MOBA aspect that much, they all came from shooters like apex or fortnite and play by guides. All they have is good mechanics. This is still mostly shooter, you have good aim and reaction = you farm more and do more damage in fights = you win.

[@jm-holm]

@@FloppaTheBased Strongly disagree. This is mostly a MOBA, not a shooter. I've seen people in Oracle with similar aim to some of these iniatiates. It's ALL the MOBA macro decisions. You can easily be Oracle or even Phantom while aiming like you have Parkinson's. It's only at the top 10% or so that you need to be able to aim.

[@FloppaTheBased]

@@jm-holm without aim you literally cannot deal damage in fights and can't lasthit creeps. It's impossible

[@jm-holm]

@@FloppaTheBased You don't need to. Better macro makes you so much stronger you can miss a lot of shots and still win. Along with calling, using correct itemization to counter other heroes, using impactful abilities that don't need aim, like Seven stun or Dynamo ult etc. It's not an FPS. It's a MOBA with shooter elements.

[@noobwithattitude]

They should consider only punching mode, no aiming

[@carmen3668]

Kind of a video that I needed😂 Subbed❤

[@TorteDeLini2]

Cheers!

[@hiroibwah]

This is a very cute concept for videos man. It's like teaching kindergarten but for Deadlock.

[@RamzaBehoulve]

If you only did ranked for 1 week, you can safely ignore where you were placed. That's just your quick play MMR.

[@BlutigeTranen]

Oh, that's good to know. I literally played the bare minimum games for a hot second and that was it.

[@iswhatheis]

Some top tier players are still in Initiate because the ELO kinda sucks and favors min/maxxing s it seems like

[@ShortsDota2]

guess who’s back 😂

[@SoulGaleo1992]

That Abrams player was smurfing lol

[@z.9780]

Aiming is option

[@eebbaa5560]

make an aim guide

[@VioletPrism]

This is so cute tbh

[@Ahmadabdal_]

8:23 most 7 players would ask for abrams racial identity here

[@Gamersince991]

First lol

[@kire645]

#25996607 , im initiate 4 and i'd like to think im pretty decent at the game lol. whats holding me back is learning the pacing of the game since this is my first moba ever.
