I'm happy we get to see more deadlock tournaments, but 1win is not it. Not only have they done some shady copystriking in the past, they're literally a casino and the event is only watchable on their website.
They will send a copystrike to your channel if you watch the tournament in-game, even though they have 0 rights to the content in-game as it is owned by Valve, at least AFAIK - I'm not a lawyer.
They'll block the MatchID. They force you to watch it on their website. All so they can promote 1win and their gambling. I understand that this is really the only tournament with significant money in Deadlock, but it's just them trying to normalize gambling.
You can literally already place bets on Deadlock games on their website.
I don't fault the players or even the staff for working on the event, I understand people want to participate in Deadlock tournaments and there are not a lot of options. But I do think we should be careful as a community of normalizing gambling.
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
Radiant regen is just ruining the game. Nerf lifesteal in jungle and then introduce radiant into the game, good one. Half the new heroes are reliant on radiant. Most problematic heroes are problematic because radiant makes them borderline unkillable for free.
Violet’s kit is very creative but her ult is unfortunately too good once again so 90% of her value is pressing 4. Maybe also give solomon a real kit so we don’t need to give every support hero a stupidly overtuned gun. Nice chess hero that just shoots me to death:)
