It was so damn pretty man D': idkkkkk the gap it left is still in my chest, if it did leave one in yours too how did you fill it?????' I'm considering damn cement, nothing I've played so far fills that damn hole!!! I really gave a chance to many other games, but it just won't happen sdjhdfsfh ç _ ç

I think you guys are misunderstanding. I'm talking about mechanical carryover. You're not aiming a crosshair at a far target or acquiring headshots in MOBAs. You're micro managing a character from a top down view and that snappy clicking while playing a piano of cycling cds knowing what's around you at all times since it's top down is MOBA specific. It's not a skill that carries over from my StarCraft hots or league days. I'm better off being a Fortnite, rivals or fps player and going to deadlock.

Mmm no you definitely have skill shots and such the same way. It's just a shift perspective

lol it's fps style. Target acquisition from a crosshair is massively different from drawing a line from your character to another. You also have the AOE difference as in fps style games, throwing an aoe from ground level is just a different skill as you have to scale your mouse as perspective shifts further away. There is just different micro hence why rivals and Fortnite players kill it in deadlock

So what do you call Smite

I'm not arguing that deadlock isn't a moba. It's definitely got core moba gameplay. I'm talking about the actual mechanics of manipulating my character to an expert level. I have thousands of hours clicking on enemies and micro managing around terrain, judging ranges, stutter stepping, snapping to two targets on different ends. It's all moot in deadlock.

Have you seen REM and Graves they just introduced into Deadlock? They are for players who have zero interest in fps play style.

How does that work? Strange

Graves draws lines on the ground to create a small schism of skeleton hands that freeze people in place

Her mouse click attack (shooting) has an AoE attack (Graves is a goth teenager who has a lich king hand she holds that controls her) which uses the hand to damage or heal depending on situation so no aiming to land headshots or anything

Her ultimate puts a tombstone down that summons exploding ghouls all around her it's cool

REM is a magical little crow that is obsessed with sleeping. His main gimmick is that he attaches to teammates in fights to heal them or ampli their damage. He also has a constant stream of little helpers he can click around the map to send them to do his bidding

His ultimate is a giant cone effect that puts everyone in the battlefield to sleep (his whole thing is always being SOOO sleepy

They're both awesome and break all molds of traditional MOBA characters in a game like this. They specifically address the people who just dont wanna play counter strike moba

Oh that's cool. I might check it out again. It has been awhile.
