Do you think Deadlock will be a success?
It's Valve's new MOBAshit made by DOTA 2 devs in private beta. The map is coming along nicely.

Looks like hero shooter with Bioshock3 rails. With graphical fidelity from 00s like tf2.

I think it's going to be a major flop

Why can't we all just play tf2 and relax? There's nothing to improve.

I played it a bit. It seemed fine if you like ASSFAGGOTS, but I'm too old to learn all that autistic shit. The problem is none of the characters are memorable.

First tower is a Guardian. Second tower is a Walker. You go to lane and back to base with the zipline. The zipline goes as far as your creeps are in the lane. If you get shot while on the zipline you fall off and are CC'd for a second.
The mid boss aka Roshan is under the map in a subway-like place.

Looks stupid. How can it take so long to develop this game? I think valve is over.

The shop. You can buy weapon items that make your weapon do more damage/have lifesteal/apply slow etc. Or you can buy spirit items that increase the damage/range of your abilities. Or you can buy HP/bullet resist/spirit resist items. Or there are some active items like in DOTA that let you teleport or become CC immune or whatever.

>private beta
Is it really private? I got a random invite without asking anyone for it.

It's not like TF2 at all. I don't play games like dota, but I guess it's more like that.

It looks like a brown asscrack, it is second-hand to bioshock and dishonored, hero shooter is a dying genre; in short, no.

3rd person and UI looks distracting. But I don't have a opinion, I am not playing those kind of games.

Doesn't look like something I would be into, but it will probably make shitloads of money.
The problem is will it be successful compared to other Valve projects or will it just be normal game level of successful.
I think unless it's a mega hit that is played for half a decade it won't meet expectations even if it's wildly profitable.

i tried to play it, but honestly i dont get it
i mean, why the fuck did they made a game whose maps and numbers of players are akin to tf2 on the present year? even minecraft can easelly comport hundreds of players nowdays, so what is their great plan with something that could have been released in 2002?

Because you would end up needing bots in every lobby to fill them if number of player requirements are too high.
It isn't a tech limit, it's about what is sustainable for the type of game it is when it comes to player base.
There won't be millions of people on each server for each match type and each map at all times.
I rather not get into the math, but shit works algorithmically. The more people required for a full match means you need around 10X that amount of players online at all times to keep the that configuration active. Otherwise you have to constantly add in bots to fill out matches.

I was very excited to try it, and played for like 100 hours and honestly I think it's pretty niche. Sure it will have a loyal community of players, but it won't be the next super popular e-sports like CS is.
Also it's alreay full of tryhards that play as if their lives dependend on that match. What I hate the most is that if you get to farm a lot at the start you become an unstonppable killing machine, and no one can do anything to stop you, but that's just how MOBAs work

But if you check a suscefull game like persona 5 for instance, that was released years ago, it have 5000 players at any given moment, and we are talking about an single player game.
With 5000 players you could fill at least 5 lobbies with 100 players for 10 different maps at any given time without having to rely on bots.
If they are worried that they wont manage to fill in some servers, its almost like they are making a game already predicting it to be a total failure.
