Pros

  • Most people should just wait until the game releases tbh, I'm enjoying it a lot, but it still is really unfinished
  • Dota was replaced by Deadlock lmao 🤣
  • Deadlock in other hand (who is in the experimental phase) is being bombarded with updates.
  • Deadlock is free and the invites are free to give out too, it's basically only a "psuedo" closed beta since it's not really hard to get access due to the plethora of invites available
  • In this case with a play test invite, especially this Deadlock one, I don’t see how in any way it could be malicious. Also, this is just kind of the community around deadlock afaik. Because the only way to get into the game is via this p...

Cons

  • Makes sense. I'd literally have like 3 patches a day from this game that's why I finally uninstalled it. They were pushing out updates like old Discord. Felt like they were almost hourly lol
  • with the bad matchmaking and the dwindling playerbase, its rapidly becoming unplayable for new players.
  • the hype bubble imploded. i can't speak for everyone, but i jumped on when every influencer on the planet was saying it was next big thing but after a couple of months i had no desire to carry on playing it. every match felt like a manic...
  • Parent context: This was the biggest reason I stopped a month or 2 ago now. Also felt like it needed a bigger hero roster. Wasn't a fan of seeing Shiv in every game. Other than that I really did enjoy the moment to moment gameplay so I'...

In this case with a play test invite, especially this Deadlock one, I don’t see how in any way it could be malicious. Also, this is just kind of the community around deadlock afaik. Because the only way to get into the game is via this play test invite, most people just invite everyone on their friends list as soon as they can get in.

Parent context: After playing it, if you didn't like Mobas like Lol or Smite before, there is nothing here that is going to change your mind. That being said, it seems to be a worthy competitor to them. Reply: I never liked mobas like lol, Dota or Smits, but I really liked the 3D movement in deadlock with my slime boy :)

Valve is definitely knocking it out of the park with the art style for this game.

This game continues to be super appealing visually.
