    I played for a few mins just now and have no idea why this game even exists.

    It’s a third person shooter with Overwatch aesthetics in MOBA format, with LoL/DOTA flavoring. This would have been the game to play if it were 2014 again.

      I’ve played for many hours and I think they nailed a lot of the mechanics, so the game is fun.

      I’m not even sure what you’re trying to say, what does the year have to do with anything? It’s 2024 and not 2014, and therefore I should only play modern shitty live service games?

        I played as well. Actually my game was a 5v6 because one teammate dc and we actually clutched it. If I had an hour to give games I would be all over this.

        What’s up with this bad faith argument? How do you immediately jump to that conclusion after reading any part of my comment?

        I essentially was saying I don’t think the game is for me because it feels old. To me, that is uninteresting and unfun.

          If a game genre feels old based on the date of its inception, you must only play… I guess battle Royale is the freshest genre? I guess since vr existed in the 80s, that’s old hat as well?

            I swear people like you are why honest discourse and good discussion are dying. I’m not even hating on Deadlock, I just said it wasn’t for me, and you guys are coming at me with grade school arguments trying to dunk.

              You saying mobas are irrelevant because it’s not 2014 is honest discourse? Aight.

                I just said it wasn’t for me. How do you read that and come back with this:

                You saying mobas are irrelevant

                Is reading comprehension really that hard for you? Lol.

          If the way you choose to value a game is based on how “old” or “new” it seems to you then you should be prepared for people to question that because it’s meaningless.

          If anything a game feeling “older” to me is a good thing considering the nickel-and-diming design by committee garbage that has taken over.
