Valve developer has to keep reminding players that Deadlock's anticheat system is coming and 'very high priority', since it's leaning mostly on player reports right now [lemmy: [email protected] ] (www.pcgamer.com)

I don't understand why they're bothering with this. Isn't the Moba shooter genre already played-out? It felt like it was losing steam over 10 years ago when they dropped a sequel to Monday Night Combat that nobody asked for.

Well there's not really any major 3rd person MOBA's, and Deadlock is not very similar to Smite in gameplay.

I think it's an interesting addition to a not very well explored genre -- I'm not the biggest MOBA fan but this one is a lot of fun (for me) because of the emphasis on movement and patience.

I wonder if the dev team wanted to play a game that doesn't really exist yet and so they made this, since it seems more like a passion project.

The player count is pretty high (95k as of this writing)

Now is a good time to bring back a moba because the market isn't as saturated when MNC was released.

And for what it is worth, MNC was a great game.

95k while it’s still invite-only imagine when they open the flood gates for everyone

Ya, for an alpha game with unfinished assets and lacking polish - it's stupid good. I've been out of the mobs scene for like a year or two and haven't had a shooter register for a while, so maybe I'm starved, but this thing keeps me coming back every night.

It's certainly a refreshing change from the dearth of objective-based hero shooters trying to recapture the magic of 2016 OW

God I loved MNC, and SMNC is still my highest played game, a decade out.

Deadlock doesn't have the life and pizzaz that either game had.
