You will most definitely get items for free from the item drop system present in every valve game with this kind of structure.

[@not_kode_kun]

On the whole microtransaction thing, I'm pretty faithful that this won't be predatory, at least not as much as riot's or blizzard's systems. Even though valve's games have a lot of really exorbitantly priced items, those prices are placed by the community, not the company. and for every 1000$+ item, there's a dozen 50cent or cheaper items. In dota2, tf2 and cs, someone with a budget of 5$ can easily get a skin for every character/weapon, some really cool ones too (very cheap immortals in dota for example, some of the best looking skins and also some of the cheapest). Plus, in dota tf2 and cs you can freely trade with friends and other players, allowing you to give old skins you don't use to friends who are new to the game and allows for a more free market. I'd much rather a system like that than what riot and blizzard does, with their virtual currency that always gives you just slightly under what you need to buy what you want so that you go for the bigger package, leaving you with a small amount of currency left over that you can't do anything with. It's extremely predatory. I just hope Valve tones down on the gambling with this game, but even if they don't I don't think it'd be that big of an issue.

[@BonnieBoestar]

Yeah the fact that Valve just cuts the bullshit and lets you pay directly with money makes the whole thing a lot more honest and transparent. No I don't really want to pay 4.99 for 5000 MOBAcoins that will buy me exactly 1 skin that costs 3000 coins. But I will pay 0.49 cents for a cool Bebop skin any day of the week.

[@thechosenone3852]

Thanks for this wonderful review! FYI tho, Valve stated that ALL of the hero models and designs in this pre-alpha build are NOT FINAL. They are just placeholders for now. Valve is currently prioritizing on the gameplay, movement, and mechanics of the game (that's why players are liking this game because it FEELS great to play) and then once they perfected those things they can finally focus on fixing the designs, models, and textures. Valve is actually sharing concept arts in the official Discord of multiple potential redesigns of the heroes and asking the community which ones they think are the best.

[@BonnieBoestar]

Yeah you can see that they already have VERY different designs for characters in the works, even the ones that seem finished. If you look at the leaked Lady Geist visual novel, you can see that Dynamo has a similar but much more detailed design than what he currently has in game.

[@niersu]

Finally, a gameplay before graphics philosophy.

[@small-boi]

I'm not scared about the monetization, Valve has so far proven to focus on cosmetics only, so all heroes should be free for everyone. What I am scared of are crazy skins that will change the silhouette or the ability fx of heroes. Dota used to be kinda good about that sort of thing, but since at least 5 years, they have gone way overboard with that shit. In a game as quick as Deadlock, it's sooo important to understand which hero you're looking at and whether the effect on the ground is friendly or not

Wish they limit the Heros doe Like keep 12 heros unlocked at the start You play with those and rank up through some sorta experience progression thing And you unlock new rank where some more heros unlocks (like say 3 more) Ik it'd be good to have all heros unlocked from the start But it's quite overwhelming when starting new Example I launched dota for the first time and I see fukin 120 heros on my screen to select from So something like Clash Royale where you unlock Cards/Heros through progress is good

[@aukora129]

The biggest thing I dislike about the characters right now is how non-distinct characters are when they come around a corner and bullets start flying.

Yamato looks like that because it's a holdover character from when this was a sci-fi game. Whoever made the call to redesign the game entirely to be early 1900s style instead of sci-fi made the right call honestly.

[@cube6794]

Hard agree, not just sci-fi but particularly "cyberpunk" is way ridiculously overused rn. There's a lot more that can be done with science fiction than most companies seem to think right now. I find Deadlock's current art direction kinda similar to tf2's, which is a good thing (tf2 was a masterclass in art direction + it'll help pull the less stubborn tf2 fans towards the game).

[@kyouya235]

for sure they are gonna keep the characters free, as someone who has been unfortunate enough to play dota all the characters there have always been free and unlocked. My main gripe with league was that there over a 100 characters and they are locked arbitrarily. Overwatch 2 had locked characters on launch, but in a recent update they made all current and future characters free and unlocked.

[@El_chara]

I fucking love the theme of deadlock, it looks like an industrial era thingy, the whole concept of patron is very interesting and each character is so unique to the point where I feel like there is no limit to what they could come up with

[@Grinner_J]

Something I kinda wish there was more mention of the movement mechanics. Though pretty basic, those three stamina pips can be crucial for engaging a fight, chasing down enemies to ensure their deaths, and helping your chances of survival while retreating. Doing something like the roll + jump, landing on a big staircase, and sliding down, all while being chased at 80 hp mid to late game, that can matter. Even early it feels great being able to dodge a bit of gun poke, or especially those stupidly high damaging abilities like Lady's grenade or Pocket's barrage. The movement mechanics are great because they are not character based, they don't have a 20 million year cooldown, and everyone has access to them.

[@BonnieBoestar]

Yeah having a dash is such a massive change from the classic MOBA mentality because in stuff like League, poking too far into enemy territory can just kill you if the enemy catches you, with basically nothing you can do about it. Being able to dash around in a firefight and avoid enemy abilities is a massive change and one I definitely enjoy (especially since I love watching Seven do full goddamn cartwheels when he dodges to the side).

[@Absolute_Zero7]

fwiw, the game is being headed by IceFrog, the guy who was in charge of balancing Dota since 2005. In turn, Dota has consistently been one of the most balanced hero based pvp games over the past 10 or so years. Doesn't necessarily mean it will carry over to Deadlock, but a level of confidence is deserved.

The game is more alike to dota 2 with its deny mechanics, items, build guides and also towers. Also im pretty sure they wont add a surrender function as comeback would make the game more entertaining to players and viewers. I hope the game is F2P but i would still buy to play it regardless and valve games microtransaction are pretty decent and could buy them cheaper in the steam market

[@ponjun3970]

it definitely wouldn't have surrender options, maybe except for public lobbies. Valve encourages players to not give up, especially since they already give players a lot of opportunities to make a comeback, like a lot of items that can counter enemies' abilities and items or support your allies' abilities and items, or items that could support your backdoor engagement (Though I don't know if there will be an anti-backdoor protection item), where even in late game, changing your items is recommendable if needed. So I don't think surrender is an option. So it will definitely happen where a Dota player in Deadlock will have to explain why the game has "it's still not safe to leave" condition in matches and why the game will never have surrender option. It'd be funny though because most MOBA have that option and will experience some kind of culture shock.

[@lenacarey2333]

Really entertaining video! I know it’s a month old so you probably won’t see this comment, but I wanted you to know that it gave me a good laugh during a stressful day at work. You and your friend play off of each other really well with humor. Nice job man!! I’m definitely gonna check out your other vids now A couple things: 1) Dynamo is S tier and the fact that you guys put him in D tier is a war crime 2) A lot of the characters’s designs make more sense when you read the little backstory blurb. Pocket is the best example of this I think. They’re a rich kid who survived an assassination attempt, and has gone into hiding. They stole the rare artifacts that their father owned to keep them out of his hands. Looking at Pocket, “rich kid who has a bunch of magical artifacts and doesn’t know how to use them” comes across pretty well imo. And the suitcase is actually corrupting Pocket, you can see the green stuff on their hand and the glyph on the back of their palm 3) Pocket is nonbinary, all in-game materials refer to them with they/them pronouns. It’s not super obvious, but I felt like you should know if you make more Deadlock stuff

They've confirmed that they're going to be redesigning Yamato and shown concept art, so they'll definitely be redesigning some of the other characters like Bebop, Dynamo, and Grey Talon to better fit the new aesthetic.

"I'll stand against many-" My ass, you fly bro

[@MrRolnicek]

I have to disagree with a few things: The number of characters does need to be quite a bit higher when the game launches. Every match can only have one of each character and the number of unique character combinations right now is too low, that number explodes very quickly when adding a few characters though so that's what's going to have to happen. Conversly unlocking characters rather than having immediate access to all of them should lower the barrier to entry for new players as they are forced to learn how a character works rather than hopping from one to another and thinking they all suck because they don't understand how to use them. When it takes more than 2-3 matches to unlock a new character though, I hate that shit too.

[@addmen96]

I belive they already have 3-4 extra characters already in game, but only avaible in sandbox

[@cube6794]

With 6 members in a team and 21 heroes, there are 54,264 combinations of different heroes possible in one team. 25 heroes will result in over twice that number of combinations.

[@abbadonvr9045]

they should make the characters free, even if it's the class of game or not, paying for characters is just a thing they put in to make your experience more frustrating and grindy

[@abbadonvr9045]

prolly will tho cuz dota 2 is like that

[@floofzykitty5072]

After League of Legends plethora of different champions that could all just be Scarlet Johansen in a cosplay, I'm glad to see some genuinely weird and wacky designs that are memorable.

[@Flecco]

Favourite character is fuck it we ball. The changes to scaling on ball damage be very funny lol.

[@masterelf42590]

All characters will be free at launch just like how they're free in dota 2. Valve doesnt lock in gameplay stuff behind grind or paywall

[@СтражПеченек]

8:35 he draws faster than normal human? Eh?

[@royportillo]

Dota 2 had all hero’s unlocked for free for everyone unlike League, so Valve might follow suit here. I suspect character and designs and models will improve as they are using alot of placeholders as they polish the game. Even with it being WIP, it all really slaps

That thumbnail broooo!!!

"I wanna see his blindingly white teeth as he kills me" I sure hope they add the facial animation framework they had in tf2 to this one. I just love how the expressions of the mercs change on the situation. So good.

Shiv is what i imagined the epitome of coolness to be like as a kid, he is just perfect. Scratch that, this is how i STILL imagine peak coolness to look like.

I feel like the game would benefit from an ability queue and from changing more items into ones that give you flat utility statistics like stamina, ammunition and movement speed (specifically, not burst speed but rather something that allows you to get into your preferred position in a different way, like Kelvin's ice path.) And maps. Gauging who and what to focus on, was all the fun back in the day when I was religiously playing MOBA's. That's my hot take after few solid hours of messing around. -Also give big boobs to Ivy-

Good review broseph

[@bigboyabu8480]

Dynamo on D is criminal

[@Zman-nk3rm]

I've had a couple hour-long games, but it is so much fun for the entire hour😁 Also, I'm honestly kinda sad they are changing Yamato's design, because the design is unique. It gives Yamato a sense of confusion, but in the best way possible. For me, I think "oh cool, a samurai! But what happened to her to make her head that way and her skin blue?" I know I'm a part of a smaller group in terms of this opinion, but I just feel like it fits.

[@DailyDeadlockContent]

Deadlock is hella amazing

[@e3.14c4]

1:03 that still happens in deadlock which is hella pathetic

[@PoorEdward]

Vindicta doesn’t have enough indication she’s like undead, she just looks like a blue lady

[@ghoulishgoober3122]

Abrams does say something like "Sorry I killed you...again"

[@thundermota1158]

i like valves aproach to live services, no battle pass, all characters unlocked and usually get crates and keys with trading i am in

[@xann2681]

How DARE you speak like that of Dynamo, i will track you down
