To those coming into Deadlock - Dont worry about numbers, balance, meta, any of this bullshit. Take your friend group and just lane 1v1 (or 2v2) against each other until you get a grasp of one of the most fundamental parts of the game.
Rapid resets here are great for practice
None of the fundamental MOBA mechanics are going to come into play if you can't get out of lane at least somewhat close to neutral in soul value.
After you're consistently doing at least OKAY in lane - then worry more about the numbers part of the game.
New interview with @LightbringerO out on my channel - really enjoyed my conversation with him (and probably the interview I was most nervous for)
deadlock esports is so cool and amazing

If you tuned into my last stream you might have heard me venting about W tournament and the subsequent penalty for the NEXT tournament. I've been reached out to and we've come to an agreement (was a misunderstanding). BE will not be punished for the next tournament.
@malfnctn merc mag has unique interactions with heroes that like to buy split shot (and also ideally ricochet) in that the damage isn't penalized. in fact, dmg gets multiplied if splitshot + rico are in play together
@NefariousNova05 there are no startup frames on parry, the only valid complaint here is the linger time which is a skill issue sorry to say!
m_flParryWindow = 0.28
hope this helps.
@JustReliq@AnsonexDL > pause time limits should be in place for the good of the show and everybodyโs time
yeah okay except the show literally ends if they just force unpause? there is no show if they just force unpause super early. Them waiting is literally for the good of the show
@LightbringerO's competitive Deadlock draft tier list is up. Full article in first reply.
Seven: rarely picked or untested.
Dynamo: B tier.
Haze: A tier.
Public stats have all three in S. ๐งต
@JuzuLive You have to realize there's nothing in this game that chains you to your lane, it's a common mistake for people getting Deadlock where they approach it like League in that doing *anything* that isn't 'stay in your lane and you BETTER win' is hard throwing. bad lane? then leave!
