Hatted gargoyle goblin is the character I like to play. In one sentence it’s a 6-on-6 third person hero shooter MOBA.
I found that compared to League of Legends (at least what I knew of it 4 years ago) and other team shooting games, going after objectives is more important than winning more fights and good K/D ratios, at least at the casual player level.
Like other similar games it takes awareness of where allies and enemies are on the map, coordination between team members to play effectively and some knowledge of each character’s ability. But even if you absolutely suck at shooting unpredictably moving targets (that’s me), knowing when to push a lane, when to support your team, when to reap the successes of a teamfight and when to pull back will contribute toward a win even if you’re 1/15/5. And a lot of punching of course.
Where Deadlock is nice right now is the short queue times and nice pick mechanism, helpful indicators for a lot of things once you know what they mean, and fun movement combos with dashing sliding and jumping.
