Deadlock is Overhyped and Not Worth Your Time

[yellow dude with hands up]

Honestly, I don’t understand why people are so obsessed with Deadlock. I gave it a fair shot, but after sinking in a few hours, I can't help but feel like the game is overrated garbage. Where’s the innovation? The gameplay feels recycled from other better titles, the mechanics are clunky, and don’t even get me started on the lack of meaningful content.

It’s basically a grind-fest with no payoff. The graphics look like they’re stuck in the past, and the AI? Absolutely brain-dead. I know there’s a fanbase for everything, but can we just admit this game is objectively bad? Seriously, how is this even getting positive reviews? It’s beyond me.

I’m genuinely curious – is it just nostalgia, or are people blinded by the hype? I expected way more from a game in 2024. Thoughts? (Or are you all just in denial?)

Severely stressful game, for a comparison look at the Moba SMITE. But now you also have to aim, jump around vertically and be vigilant about 3 dimensions at all times. Items are confusingly displayed and im sure an asinine playstyle meta will emerge shortly. Now there are already like 30 heroes. How could you possibly get kinda good at the game if youre not a hobbyless loser? Who needs this?

it has a higher skill ceiling than something like smite does. it's a moba where you actually have to aim. 30 heroes, unlikely to change for a very long time. I don't see valve adding more heroes for a very long time.

idk why people keep comparing this game to overwatch. This is a moba, not a hero shooter.

Most people don't care about bot matches, so your argument about the ai is a moot point

To me Deadlock looks much more casual than Smite, League, Dota or any other MOBA. You just chill, shoot some people and have fun. Dying is not very punishing, items are simple and you can just copy one of many community builds in game (literally have to press 2 buttons to get a good build). Also time to kill is very long so your lack of awareness or positioning is not that punishing.
