[@rickydo6572]

Game looks interesting, obviously it doesn't look finished because...well, it isn't finished, they're still gonna change a lot of things before release. And tbh, I might've give it a shot if I didn't know Valve was Valve. Why would I even bother sinking hundreds of hours into this when I know cheaters are eventually gonna ruin it without much pushback from Valve? Like, they don't care about the state of TF2 at all and aren't doing everything they could for Counter Strike, I'm sorry, but I ain't dedicating myself to competitive multiplayer games anymore, specially those made by Valve, cause these companies only want one thing *MONEY* Valve used to be different, but that was for a very brief period of time and it was a long time ago, unless Deadlock is the game where Valve reveals a new sort of anti-cheat system I ain't gonna bother playing it, It's just gonna be a waste of time.

[@ThatGuyInTheBack007]

"Why would I even bother sinking hundreds of hours into this when I know cheaters are eventually gonna ruin it without much pushback from Valve?" They are doing push back. The problem is that malicious people behind botting are actively updating their software MORE than actual virus creators, and even those are a pain in the ass to try to do anything about. If they changed VAC to be Kernel-based, you will have thousands of people then bitching about "I DON'T WANT ANY ROOTKIT SOFTWARE ON MY COMPUTER", though it would help solve a chunk of said issue.

[@rickydo6572]

@@ThatGuyInTheBack007 I'm sorry, TF2 is literally abandoned, they fucked up the matchmaking, killed community servers, limited players ability to kick bots and just stopped trying to do anything about it for a long time, cheaters have gotten so good at updating their cheating software for Valve games BECAUSE Valve did nothing about it for a long time. I ain't investing any time into Deadlock until they get their shit together. They'll probably just abandon it eventually anyway, I'll stick to Valve's single player games now thx, even tho they're rare.

[@thepinkplushie]

This game will only get the TF2 treatment if it's not as much of a cash cow as CS or Dota (or at least doesn't trend that direction). Valve effectively countered cheaters in CS (premiere matchmaking is a fantastic system that more games need). Can't speak to Dota because I don't play it but my friends do and have never mentioned cheaters. The cheating problem in CS is overblown though, overwatch+premiere is a good system. It inherently filters the vast majority of cheaters into non-premiere lobbies. Otherwise VAC is a pretty flawed anti-cheat but so are pretty much all anti-cheat systems. Even Valorant/League isn't perfect, and even if they were Riot has infinite money and resources to put into anti-cheat development, and its proprietary so it's irrelevant to other game publishers anyways. You can't ask for the impossible, but I agree it has to be better than TF2 (which people seem to forget only became a problem after Valve abandoned it, thus not an issue for a new game)

[@dargunsh7156]

It's time to grow up sadly, the time we spent playing old valve games was great, but nothing in this world is immortal, companies get greedy. It's time to do something else

[@Absolute_Zero7]

Keep in mind this is kind of a spiritual successor to Dota, and Valve to this day is cooking the big ones for that game. It's honestly incredible how differently Valve treats Dota compared to CS and especially TF2.

[@Thebanclub]

It doesn’t look terrible, just doesn’t look and play like a valve game

[@withers102]

It's been 14 years since their last new IP, chances are the OG devs on allot of older valve games aren't there anymore. so not exactly unexpected

[@eagerinspirit]

looks clean, but i wish the characters were a bit more unique. half their guns is just an automatic rifle and their 1st and ult abilities all seem to be very similar (aoe ability with effect). also, everything seems really.. chunky.. which i think works in a moba but a moba with fps elements needs a slightly higher ttk i feel. just to feel that responsiveness you'd want from the fps side. other than that, they're cooking.

[@withers102]

It is an alpha, so chances are ALLOT is going to change over the next year or so until they release it. Honestly though reminds me of gigantic a bit, hoping they flush more things out for sure.

[@puffyeato]

character weapons and ultimates are definitely unique idk where youre getting that from.. yes a few have AOEs.... all of which function and operate in entirely different ways..

[@ashemocha]

don't worry guys! this game will also have a promised huge update that never comes, and valve then neglects it for bots to infest!

Came here from Smite. Looks interesting. Game has a lot of Smite similarities, and guess Valve has been giving Smite ex-pros/content creators access to Deadlock to test since Smite is dying. All the feedback from has been really really good and that they will probably hop to Deadlock when it comes out

[@TaRAAASHBAGS]

Jesus Christ this looks disgustingly uninspired. If I didn't know Valve made this I'd assume it was just another bust-out trend chasing AA studio. I think we need to accept that even if Valve is still intending to push frontiers, it's not in normal M&K gaming anymore.

[@ThefamousMrcroissant]

It's competing for the moba crowd. There is not necessarily a lot of overlap with the tactical shooter crowd (there is some, but mostly due to Steam). The question should be whether this can compete with titles like Smite 2 and League of Legends. Knowing Valve it will blow either out of the water quality wise, so there is that.

[@zerosick]

​@@ThefamousMrcroissantYou're right. From what I've seen, everyone keeps saying its another hero shooter but dont see how heavy the moba elements are. I hope this game becomes successful, thanks for the reply!

[@DaosIures]

So it seems I was right in assuming that the only devs remaining at Valve are interns

[@puffyeato]

yeah icefrog is such an intern 💀💀

[@DaosIures]

So, I installed the Beta and played it for the past two days. This video clearly didn't sell the game properly, the gameplay is slow as fuck, the guy doesn't know how to aim and he's playing one of the worst characters. I played Haze for the past two days, and the gameplay with a proper hero and dynamic movements is very satisfying. So I take back what I said, the game is good, the only downside is the poor optimization on it
