Same here, I've been trying to get an invite for 8 days now. I see some people say that the Deadlock invite system is bugged and won't allow people who have older steam accounts in and that they're fixing it.

Even if that's true, it feels like absolute BS since there are so many people saying they got invited within a couple hours after making fresh alt account and spending $5 on it and getting in that way. Such a slap in the face when someone could just drop $5 on an account they'll likely never touch again and get in meanwhile people who've been on Steam for 5 or 10+ years are stuck waiting on an invite for a week or more. That feeling is multiplied when you see that Deadlock is now consistently in the top 10 games with the most concurrent players. how could they not fit in some more people? It's not like Valve is hurting for servers, they got ~2 million people on concurrently between CS2 and Dota alone.

Rip. I'm only on my 2nd day of waiting. My acct is 11 years old, no bans, no dice. One thing giving me hope is that I saw someone who said they waited for 5+ days and got in eventually. It sux because I follow a streamer who plays it and the entire discord is people talking about it and I want to draw fanart of my favorite character but I need to see him up close to even get references lol

My account is 10+ y/o and not getting invited either, so I'm buying this theory.

I can say that account age didn’t matter much in my case, as my 11 year old account here got in just fine and was in after a few hours.

Any guesses as to why are basically just random or trying to pattern seek where there may not be one.

My guesses are a mix of
1. There may be a weighting against people who recently added you or have a lot of invites sent (I got mine from someone I added recently, but he sent only a handful of invites).
2. Profile privacy may be a negative? Not a certainty though.
3. Maybe recent activity is considered? Then again, people getting in on alts hurts this theory.

If I had to pick, I’d say, if you got an invite or alleged invite from one of those mass invite people, they may have never sent it, or the system is weighed against letting someone who barely plays the game send a bunch of invites, or letting people send out literal hundreds of invites.

If had to say, I’d say make sure that first, you actually got invited, next, that the person who invited you is active on deadlock and isn’t spamming invites by the hundreds.

You guys did not get the invite, plain and simple or just aren't looking at your emails properly.

There is no weighted system there is just a bug where some players aren't getting invites when they well should. They acknowledged this is a bug (Although looking back its been a bug for 3 months so god knows if they even know where to start with fixing it) and claimed that they are working on it. Not much to be done unfortunately, other than scream into the void.

Nahh. I only asked two people. One I've had friended for years. No emails, no notifs. The friend who inv'd me doesn't seem to really play it that much though.

It will bug if you got more invites on you, guys with only one invite got game in 2h but guys who spammed "invite me" to more groups still waiting and you cant even invite them after 3 days because they will jump right back to "invite" from "invited"
