Somethings "off" with Deadlock.

[Nattfödd]

Every match lately feels like a drawn out waste of time where the wrong team often wins. Not sure if its a balancing issue or what. Usually i'd say those long matches where you're unsure who is going to win are true "GGs", but it never feels that way with Deadlock. like the match is drawn out for artificial reasons and not due to evenly matched skill on each team. it could be an item and balancing issue as well. I'm seeing players who are otherwise not very skilled or intelligent getting the win.

i thought maybe it was just me and just a few matches, but this has been my experience 10/10 times this last week. video games kind of need to be fun in order to keep playing them. and this should be way more fun but it isnt. i guess its fun if you use broken item builds or you're not the one lagging in a fight.

I'll come back later and see if the games been fixed, wont stick around to help you fix it though.

its probably the super strong come-back mechanics in play atm, the urn for example. I dont think people as a whole like these changes from what ive seen so im sure they will get reverted. Im personally glad valve is trying new things and seeing what sticks

Well, early game doesn't matter at all, unless you throw and int by a huge margin. The game is all about farming right now. You can play the game for 40 minutes by only farming and then win 1 teamfight at the end and you've won the game.
I can understand this can feel like the "wrong" team won the game.
Unfortunately, Valve is all about "hugeeee comebacks" lately, so early, mid game doesn't really matter. Unless if you stop farming. Then you are f#cked.
