only faggots who suffer FOMO are playing.

don't care how much money valve loses on this, it's more of a W than artifact, underlords and cs2

it will always be crazy how steamies gaslit everyone into thinking this piece of shit looks good
character and environment designs are concord tier lmao

>>714579642
Thats not the issue. Its the gameplay itself. MOBAs are already extremely bad at actually obtaining new players. Then they created one with an insanely high barrier to entry with all of its mechanics. It was doomed from the start.

Meh, I liked playing as Abrams but it wasn't very good

Are these fuckers just unable to make good games anymore? If it's not Dota 2 skins or graphics updates for Counter Strike it fails miserably. Artifact, anyone?

>>714579832
nigger nobody cares, the game could have the most amazing gameplay and it would still look like dogshit because it does look like dogshit

Alyx was good and had all their autistic shit in it. Valve has always been a tech studio more than anything.

valve doesn't make video games, they just slap a casino on skinner boxes

>>714580819
It looks like shit because it's not ready to be shown to the public, the game leaked two years before it was going to be announced.
It's at the same stage as this Dota 2 picture.
Valve hasn't published a single screenshot from the game yet.

>>714581290
Delete this.

>>714581290
Valve "leaked" the game themselves to gauge public interest in it.

>>714581378
>leak the most repulsive visuals possible from a very early alpha test to poison the perception of the game before it's anywhere near ready to be shown
And the retarded eceleb that did it got blacklisted

>>714581378
Bullshit, the guy who leaked the game was a butthurt TF2 youtuber who was banned for sharing footage of the game with his friends. He made a video about it afterwards saying he was glad that he leaked it because it wasn't a TF2 update.

>He made a video about it afterwards saying he was glad that he leaked it because it wasn't a TF2 update.
I'm going to need a link to that.

>>714581517
He deleted the venting video where he said he would have done it again, so there's just this.

isnt this an open alpha?

why would people expect the playerbase to grow or even care what the playercount is at this point?

Should've had heal stations around across the map instead of slowly (SLOWLY!!!) railing back to the start area like DotASSFAGGOTS_2 does, Volvo.

>>714581290
That looks better than ASSFAGGOTSLock. Maybe because it understands that it's a RTS (dead genre) and not a shooter (live genre, shouldn't blend ASSFAGGOTS into it).

>>714579642
This is how I know you're just some Tortanic tier tourist.
The environment design and general theme of occultic roaring 20s is the best thing Deadlock has going for it.
It's the gameplay that's shit, because it's ASSFAGGOTS

>>714576580 (OP)
There's a secret second closed alpha because having the game go largely public ended up causing more harm than anything else.
If anything it should inform you as to the average gamers intelligence, when they join a closed alpha and start crying about it being unfinished but then try to treat it as if it's a feature complete game.

>>714576580 (OP)
They failed to understand that Dota 2 and LoL are played a ton not because they're fun, but because they have established brand names.
Nobody finds assfaggots fun, nobody. They ONLY play for the brand recognition and e-sports cancer bullshit.

>>714579642
I think the gameplay and art both suck.
Should have been an anime slut girl idle clicker or jigsaw game.

>>714584391
Dota is played because it's a good game, it has none of the secondary or coom appeal League has

>>714584879
>none

people hate deadlock because its a good game, nobody wants goos games anymore they just want flops

>>714584391
yeah like you know what youre talking about

>>714576580 (OP)
they need to remove almost all movement options. Get rid of sliding, rolling, melee cancel bug and focus on making the abilities the mobility. Look at marvel rivals the default movement is slow and limited as fuck , but the characters abilities give them the options. The constant roll and slide spam is what made me quit

>>714586619
>hey need to remove almost all movement options
thats such a horrible opinion. the movement tech is where most of the skill expression happens in this game. and on top of that, it feels really good and is fun to get good at. you need to lab the tech and try to get good instead of being a shitter

>>714580794
Icefrog is the one throughline in all of their recent flops
Ever since they stopped making "simple" games with emergent complexity (TF2, cs, l4d) and focused on "complex" games with tons of number crunch they have only succeeded with dota and that was very much a product of the times. Deadlock appears poised to flop like their last two games made with the same design philosophy and I hope they finally realize the problem

>>714586802
>movement is where most of the skill expression happens
exactly the problem, movement spam takes away the focus on abilities. it should be about utilizing your ability with correct coordination location and timing not utilizing movement tech that should be patched out because it’s a bug

>>714587121
where is the "number crunch" in deadlock? deadlock is so simple. its basically overwatch with lanes and farm. the builds are so fucking simple in deadlock. theres a reason all the top players are from overwatch and not dota.

>>714587534
>it should be about utilizing your ability with correct coordination location and timing
the game has plenty of that lol what are u talking abt lil nigger

>>714576580 (OP)
Dont worry, it will reach 1m after they add gambling.

>>714576580 (OP)
Why are they pushing this shitass ASSFAGGOTS games instead of the sequels everyone is asking for?
Humiliation ritual for being the most powerful PC platform?

>>714581378
>valve leaked an incomplete, untextured, experimental build of the game that they already massively overhauled 5 times the past year to gauge interest
are you one of those retards who thought the gta6 leak was the final product
