as someone who has never played a moba game before your videos are extremely helpful

[EpicDonutDudeMemes]

watched you from the division to this, actually really liking these guides since most other guides are just people using their gameplay and rambling for 30 minutes
keep it up man

I was rather unimpressed with Deadlock when I saw the leaked gameplay, but after I tried it for myself, I changed my mind - the game is amazing and feels like the "Next Big Thing" for multiplayer games. Thank you for helping me understand it better.

I had no clue about this game but I played like 3 hours and was hooked.

Your videos I found while browsing YouTube at work. You do a great job teaching newbies. I really appreciate your explanation videos.

[DjenDIG]

let's gooo, love your writing and pacing Brad, can't wait for more

Deadlock Dad uploaded again, time to learn even more boys.

Great vid! Thanks for the informative content.

As a reminder everyone, all of us are loving and learning this game. Take the time to talk to your team if they are struggling with the game. I've had a few games with some very rude people the whole match, but quite a few games where if I asked a question, people wanted to help and teach. It was great. I think all of us are very excited for this game, and I'm glad to have found some very helpful people in game!

I wasn’t a believer, until I got into a match, Deadlock is peak, if this is what you want to do with your channel, PLEASE DO it is your career to pilot, not the passengers, and I need vids on this now anyway 😂

I've found the items by far the hardest thing for me to grasp. This video was super helpful, I really like that you explained how and why to use items, and didn't just explain that X item does Y thing, as that's not the hard part about them IMO. That probably wouldn't age as well either. Anyway, thank you for all these videos, theyve been super helpful! Really looking forward to your Pocket guide too :D

[KONSACZ]

I would definitely like to see a dedicated video on 4 tier items, they incredible expensive, when it's worth to buy them etc.

[MIMIK]

This guy has the best tutorials on this game here, I LOVE IT

[nofuneral]

You've absolutely reduced the mental haze of trying to understand all the options here. I know this video was a ton of work, thanks for your efforts!

[MrRukrio]

for any of you shmovement fans, that bit about the T1 items being some of the best feels the most true on the vitality items that give better stamina and sprint

heroes with movement abilities also can benefit from T1 spirit upgrades while working thier way up to higher tier upgrades

[kylemills]

These guides have become a lifesaver for a non-moba player trying to get in to this game. Played ~10 hours before I found your videos and the game just feels more enjoyable now that I actually understand some of the basics

[DMGTritan]

The best guide/discussion format for youtube I think. Thanks for time stamping and keeping information organized. Good side discussions on the "whys" of an item choice!

[brooklyngray]

one cool thing I noticed is that when you die, you can see a breakdown of what percentage of damage you took was from bullet damage vs from spirit damage. I use that to decide if I should rush bullet armor or spirit armor. It can be really hard to tell when fights get super chaotic.

[ClintCC]

These are the questions that I want answered. This is so much more than just an item guide. Loved the old content and love the new content, keep up the good work.

[Aenny]

These guides have been helping with lane control and i can understand the game way better thank you!

[Scribbby]

The mad man dun did it. The most overwhelming part of the game getting covered.

[LucasEckman]

These videos are super helpful. Shoulders above the rest in quality and value. I always share these out when they drop. Please keep it up!
