they added all the mechanics from DOTA and shooters except for the fun ones

Sweet baby inc
DEI
wokeness

lack of coomer designs

>>715774326 (OP)
nothing? the game isn't out yet.

>>715774326 (OP)
La Cretura waifubating isn't enough.

>>715774326 (OP)
Concord but made by Valve

>>715774326 (OP)
Great game, but would have to cut down playing other vidya to get good and also drag in 1-4 friends in order to get more wins/fun.

>5v5 shooter in a market overly saturated with 5v5 shooters
>its complexity and match length are much higher than virtually all the other 5v5s thanks to MOBA mechanics
It was fucked from the start. A casual mode with simplified mechanics and/or faster rounds is the only way it can be salvaged without tearing it all to the ground.

>>715774326 (OP)
long stretches with nothing but balance changes in a game that supposedly in alpha.

Needs a pro scene for me to get interested

>>715775448
or some kind of co-op mode, there's a void in the market for that seeing as Blizz fumbled that

>>715774990
I thought it was the most forced thing ever to be posted here, no one's even talking about said creature anymore so I guess time proved me right.

>>715775448
i took one look at the shop screen and nope'd the fuck out of there.

>removed unraked mode
>no hero's in the past 7 months
>The only update's we have had THIS YEAR as a small map update and item art rework

GEEE WIZ I wonder why this game died? Hmm? Its almost like people stop playing games when the dev's stop working on them

>>715774326 (OP)
It's a moba.

>>715774326 (OP)
they never got around to releasing it

>>715774326 (OP)
This game really highlights the immense incompetence and laziness of Valve. It's been a year and a half already since it got leaked and it's still in a piss poor state of alpha, with only 3 remodeled characters, 1 map change and an item visual update. It looks to be 2 years away from completion at the rate they are going, ever since they scurried over to their sekrit club playtest-within-a-playtest with more new characters (In various stages of development, most incomplete).

There doesn't seem to be a unifying vision or concerted push to get this game to market in even a beta state, it just seems like it's IceFrog's personal playground to mess around with meaningless micro-adjustments to gameplay balance, like as if it was a decade old game like Dota 2 that's gone through several eras of metas already. He either needs to be replaced or curtailed a bit because his autism is hurting the game.

>>715774326 (OP)
Valve thought they could ween people away from Dota 2

>>715774326 (OP)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>715774326 (OP)
ASSFAGGOTS

>>715774326 (OP)
Lol /v/ already got filtered by dota 2 so it was clear that deadlock would filter people even more probably the most complex game made in the last 10 years

>>715777165
Exactly this.

>>715774990
are any of the characters even attractive enough to be called waifu

>>715774326 (OP)
It's a MOBA.

>>715778318
They are adding a young vampire girl next update

>>715774326 (OP)
the matches are too fucking long and boring. it is literally the only game I ever ever played in my life that actually gave my mouse finger fatigue

>>715774326 (OP)
It's an unfinished alpha test worked under Valve Time, see you in 2030

>>715774326 (OP)
Nevermind what went wrong. Did anything even go right to begin with?
Who the fuck asked for this shit?

Pretty much this. It isn't like Dota 2 is in a good state right now either, Valve should have tripled their headcount already.

>>715778636
pics?

>>715774326 (OP)
That balding commie faggot "tftuber" is what went wrong

What a fucking nigger of a human being.

>>715775448
This the game suffers all the problems of a moba but now theres a even BIGGER skill check in the game and thats AIMING. It'll have a fanbase but it certainly WONT be as big as Counter Strikes or Dotas.

Icefrog flew too close to the sun and if he doesnt dumb the game down enough to the point where matches are quick and easy the shelflife of the game will be even worse then older brothers.

no patches

>>715774326 (OP)
Making a convoluted and boring game. Though I like(d) DOTA2 (gave up after 5000+ hours) so I'm not sure why I hate deadlock so much.

>It isn't like Dota 2 is in a good state right now either, Valve should have tripled their headcount already.
Riot has more chinks slaving away only for Twitter art posts than Valve has developers period, it's really fucking annoying. I even want to give them money but there's nothing to spend it on, they axed battlepasses and are extremely overdue for an event after the dozen extensions of Crownfall.
You make six gorillion dollar per employee, I don't care if they aren't old guard or are too woke or whatever the fuck, hire more people.

/v/ getting extremely invested in the success of a free game with 0 in game monetization is so bizarre to me.

Dark Willow doesn't need an arcana, her stock skin mogs all paid ones.

>>715779884
I'd buy a wedding dress one.

Denying and bad top down design
I personally blame denying and the overreliance on countering around active items. Nobody wants to do this shit every match in a moba, much less a shooter.

I have molested so many uppity retards that thought they were above buying a BKB because it's a dead slot and more damage is better. If you kneecap actives you just get LoL.
