[@colbyboucher6391]

Something to understand is that Deadlock is _genuinely_ still in an early alpha state. Probably half of the current characters are getting new models, the map is early and going to go through another art pass or two, mechanics are changing significantly every weekly patch and new mechanics are getting added (they just added walljumps and ropes everywhere??) Probably just over a year ago the game was still "Neon Prime", when the game had a cyberpunk theme. Totally different map art, character models were totally different (a few like Yamato and Viscous haven't been changed yet)... Icefrog & Co. really, really want people leaving them feedback on the official forums, because they're genuinely listening for it.

[@brooklyngray1527]

This is actually pretty normal for Valve. They run weekly playtests for their games while in development, basically as soon as they have something playable, while most devs only do them towards the end. It's the main reason why they take so long to develop games, and why they're so good.

It's the power-ups that spawn on side bridges that are temporary. 4:03 Killing midboss will also spawn stronger troopers in all of your lanes, so it really is a "push everything now" moment.

10:26 Coming out of Tarkov 0.14, yeah, I can tell you that just adding snow alone completely changes how the game looks and plays

[@Flailmorpho]

one bit, the reason the map is rather desaturated is because it helps with recognizing the highly saturated character abilities, which is important for a competitive environment

I don't know why but it's kinda funny how marco showing league instead of dota 😂

1. Concept art for the map shows that there will likely be more color and visual detail in the future. They probably don't want to do all the finishing touches until the map structure, pathing and mechanics are closer to final 2. I'm a longtime DotA player and that game has over 120 heroes. Coming from the same developer it's almost a certainty Deadlock will have vastly more than the 20-something heroes currently in the game 3. I agree this game is a 9/10 and once we all get the hang of it and it gets polished/finished it's probably going to be a 10.

haters of this game for sure does not even play mobo or dota, definitely dota players will enjoy this like me

The boosts from the vases over the map are permanent

One of the biggest issue for me is that you want your gun to feel impactful in a shooter. But depending on how far behind you and your team is it can feel like a pea-shooter. You don't want to aim, track and shoot your enemy just for it to barely do anything. But it's more of an issue I have with the genre mix and not necessarily the implementation because I think the game is well-made enough, although I don't know if the cartoony aesthetic helps on that front.

Dropping a like for the Static Shock theme reference

Hearing tf2 being called a hero shooter and not a class based shooter hurts my soul

[@Madboi123]

"HE TAALKS LIKE THIIISS" cracked me up

[@nicesbrot5879]

I started yesterday and I already am a pro with pocket but he doesn’t really deal damage or is fast but i just love how he fits in there and how good he is at dodging

[@ruanjordaan2563]

You should note the dullness in the game is to distinguish between abilities easier. Thats why the map doesnt have that much color otherwise you cant see it

[@ibby-q1q]

i was looking for this video yesterday 😭

[@MarcusBaltzer]

Valve making a come back is crazy

[@isaigi97]

You're right, the map needs green spaces! Seasons are also a wonderful idea.
