      You need an invite? There’s whole steam forums dedicated to it.

      I stopped playing it after a week tho, not my style (although I think that goes for all IceFrog-esque games for me lol)

        Really? I’m rarely on steam forums or communities. I just see kids drawing which made me not go back to them.

        I’ll check it thank you.

          Ehh, if you haven’t gotten into it this far then I’d suggest waiting until release. Deadlock is still incomplete and has such radical balance changes each update that it’s hard to tell what’s going on. Most of the people playing right now have been playing since early access started, so you’ll have a hard time finding players that are bad at it for now.

            I think it’s more accurate to say you’ll have a hard time finding players who don’t know what’s going on. The average player is very bad still.

      Hard disagree. Both Dota and CS2 are truly f2p, you get the same experience wether you buy stuff or choose not to. Of course the gambling stuff is predator, but the games themselves are great and actually free. You just want to buy a hat cause it’s fun.

        Two good games as a service doesn’t excuse the huge rotten pile of GAAS scams.

        Two shiny red apples in a pile of compost still makes it a heap of shit.

            But but but…. I don’t care who it is making and selling them, games as a service is toxic to players and anti consumer. TF2 normalized and opened the door to a lot of the shit that turned into loot boxes with its micro transactions for keys to get better weapons and cosmetics.

            GAAS are scams, even if some of them might behave and don’t shit all over the living room floor.

      Gaas is the best model for online competitive games. Best value for developers and players.

    I’d like to try it in first person. Third person fucking sucks for shooters.

      I thought so too at first, but I actually don’t think the movement aspect of Deadlock would feel as good in first person.

        It would, at least with the initial cast. I don’t know if they have added any movement creep kind of stuff since.

        Overwatch had hyper mobile characters and worked well, even with its low FOV (it really needed higher FOV).

      I mean, whether or not it looks interesting to you, it’s still pulling in tens of thousands of players on a daily basis, and it hasn’t even had a public release yet. Seems like it’s doing just fine.
