First actual explanation of Deadlock on the entire intenet. Bravo eskay.

[charlotte-hanson]

It wouldn't be an Eskay video if she didn't get into movement tech, and I wouldn't be me if I wasn't enthralled by it despite my lack of skill

[Luizfernando-dmrf]

My friend started playing yesterday, didn't want to do the tutorial, we hopped onto a game, first thing he said: "Bro, what do I do?"
10/10, would play again

[Fepers]

8 years top 100 ow? damn, that's consistency for sure

[Eskay_OW]

- I forgot to mention the spirit urn! It spawns on the far left or far right side of the map and has to be delivered to the opposite side. You can use stamina but not your gun. If you grab it while in a movement ability you can move it with your movement ability up. Finishing the urn gives you a bunch of souls and also gives your entire team souls, but just like towers they can be denied. the best way to stop them being denied is meleeing them as they pop out.

-you can press crouch twice in the air to fast fall, using up 1 stamina

Man this guide helps a lot, I was lost... Never played a thing complicated like a moba...
That item page was a nightmare.
thank you again

[JMBTheProdigy]

Fun fact you can parry any melee. It doesn't just work on heavy melee it's all of them and the stun lasts for the whole time like if it was a heavy.

[mairafarias]

this video will save me from losing all my games 🙏

[TooFrossty]

ESKAY THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME FROM LOSSES. I NEEDED A TRUSTED SOURCE FOR HELP

[gahhram]

genuinely the best guide out there rn, esp love the breakdown when u went into a game to show us the layout and how the game progresses!

[thomascygan]

Eskay is the best, love the branch out arc

[matKilla]

We need more Deadlock videos! Show your gameplay!

[kazz]

This was super informative, and makes the game way less intimidating for a beginner like me. Having community builds is crazy helpful. Looking forward to playing it when it comes out!

[TheSoCanadian]

This game is really moba noob friendly. After learning the basics I instantly got really good. It’s a ton of fun and a nice break from regular shooters

[kevynspeed]

11:40, woah, that's a pretty neat idea for hero priority during a queue, more hero shooters can take note of this

[RegrettableDeed]

Fantastic guide! Just got in yesterday and was a touch overwhelmed by all the options. Definitely got a sub from me. Cant wait for that Keybind video 😊

[KAIMAN]

Not only was this video super informative, it also sold me the game! I wasn't that interested in it after seeing a few gameplays and streams but now I wanna play. Thank you!

[malif]

This is the best Deadlock beginner's guide I've seen so far and I've watched several

[DukeJukem]

Small correction to sensitivity: for converting from CS to Deadlock, it's multiplied by 0.5 now (and the Overwatch to DL conversion might have also changed)

Also the rejuvenator for dead teammates CAN still be beneficial when they're dead via a shortened respawn time (which you can actually see take effect at 20:25)

[justtkrl]

You’re really good at making guides like this, great watch thanks!!
