Deadlock

This has gotta be one of the worst MOBAs I've ever played.
Match is over within minutes. Game does ♥♥♥♥ all to teach you the mechanics well. Teammates will flame you from game one.

League of Legends: 3D.

I'd play public bot matches for a bit to get the hang of it.

I have had 1 game where a teammate used voice chat 1 time to ask team to help with mid boss, but I've had zero encounters with people being toxic in chat/voice chat

You have to be provoking the conflict since I hardly get any team communication, much less toxic

First game, lane partner called me blind for the entire game. I don't say anything in VC or Text chat in any games. He starts teabagging my body as I respawn, and follows me around just shooting me until the end of the game.
Second game, teammate calls me useless, afks.

I guess I'm just "provoking the conflict" by playing poorly as a new player.

Im sorry you had such a terrible experience in Public matches so far. I have not encountered anything close to that in my games so far, and hope that streak continues. Just know that once the game full releases people can be banned for stuff like that, so try not to let it get to you and mute people if you have to

Welcome to MOBA's, one of the most toxic genres to play to this day.

I haven't played the game but I've seen friends of mine stream it on discord, and damn are people toxic. Not only the teammates, everyone is toxic in the game lmao.

My friends were dominating the enemy team on one match, and they were told by another player to go commit kermit. Also, people t-bag a lot, and even abuse the pause feature to hold players hostage.

I've heard the tales of the Pause-hostaging, they need that fixed ASAP. Though I'm not entirely sure if this game is as toxic as League or DOTA, knowing that I'm not the only one seeing the toxicity is comforting in a way.

Valve definitely needs to do something about cheaters and those who mock games. Ban their IP from accessing the game itself and Steam services. Simple. I for one am sick and tired of cheaters and intrusive programs like that joke "easy anticheat malware program" with roots in the kernel. Games in general have become very "anti-privacy" especially intrusive after player data and most importantly it seems like games have become anti fun. Yeah, I know. Depressing as hell. Playability puts its own bugs with the negative stuff mentioned above. This chase for money and high profit is going to put a negative label and will be avoided by realistic and mature thinking gamers like for example I refuse to play games with that EASY ANTICHEAT malware and where there are cheaters who are not punished as they should.

Having cheaters in closed alpha / beta is a real canary in the coalmine. Oof.

LoL is honestly better than this. I don't think the shooter things mesh with the moba things

yea your priorities make sense, let's make an in depth tutorial before we've even set a launch date

That's how the game is right now, so that's how I'm going to see it. Not sure what your point is here.

It's unfinished, not even an early access title, and the stuff you describe is ALWAYS added late in development. There's no point in a tutorial if the mechanics are subject to change.

I'm not sure why Valve invited me to play - I hate MOBAs and these days I only play online games occasionally, usually with friends. I spectated a round of Deadlock and that was enough for me to deem the download a waste of bandwidth. I'd even go as far as to say that I despise the state of mainstream online multiplayer gaming as a whole right now. I pay attention to goings-on, but I don't play. Maybe that's why I got an invite, and this post should be regarded as my feedback.

Putting my own biases to one side, I also don't know what space in the market this game is trying to fill. I genuinely don't see where it fits in the multiplayer landscape. It also seems to lack identity.

Maybe if I was a teenager again I'd care for it, but comparing my enthusiasm for this to my enthusiasm for TF2 in 2007/8 is just... night and day.

Well now I know your just lieing.
(Match is over within minutes)- True it's only about a 40min match every game lol.

(Teammates will flame you from game one)- I have yet a single match where anyone even types in game nor even talks hell I'm starting to think the in-game chat doesn't even work the only communication I see in game is marking on the map that's it.

(Game does ♥♥♥♥ all to teach you the mechanics well)- There's literally tutorials that tell you everything you need to know and it's super simple it's the Learn to Play option on the main menu just encase you missed it.

To be fair, each game I've played has included someone trash talking in voice chat.
But I've only played like four games.
Still, seemed weird that it happened during each one.
