I wasn't a fan. It's still too much like a moba to break through genres. I am curious if it will eat into Dota's fan base, or bring more people?

As someone who was interested in dota2 but found it too daunting to figure out, I've been brought in myself. I'm loving deadlocked so far.

Are you me? Thats how I feel. It's like a moba that's fun.

It's a moba that's more than clicking fucking endlessly on a map. Like in Starcraft, the speed of your clicks can make or break you.

It's genuinely like an extensions of Team Fortress 2/Overwatch, except they've moved the core gameplay onto the MOBA model.

I've been playing dota since 2012 and I haven't played a single game of it since I got invited to Deadlock months ago.

I don't need it to be unique. I need it to be polished and enjoyable!
