this was very helpful, I jumped in as a long time player of LoL and Overwatch/tf2 thinking i'd have it all covered, could just be because it's beta/alpha still but the tutorial only telling you about controls really means i had no idea about half of this after a few days of playing. didn't realize meleeing minions got all the souls, didn't realize jungle camps were uncontained souls for a while, had absolutely no idea what the urn was or what to do with it. didn't know teleporters or secret shops existed. Lots of very useful tips so thank you :D

Lil tip the zip line speed buff lasts long enough to go all the way to base buy items and go back

I think they have taken the best aspects of MOBAs leaving out the components that add a lot of complexity and may not be that fun for most players.

No warding
No hero drafts
No separate roles and lanes for offlane, safelane, support, jungler, etc.

I absolutely fell in love with this game. This game is going to take the world by storm.

My first 7 games, I’m getting absolutely annihilated by a shockingly well coordinated team after laning phase. There’s NO way I should be in that game! These guys are insane. Where’s my noob lobbies cuz I haven’t seen any at all.

[IliveinAnarchy]

I fell in love with this game absolutely.

I used to play Overwatch and watch Stylosa. I quit Overwatch years ago, and where did it take me? ...back to Stylosa for Deadlock.

[peter_hauer]

Thank you for the guide. I learned some new stuff about the game today.

[Abhinav-tkbt]

Valve is really on to something here, haven't had this much fun playing a game since starting out tf2 and ow 1 (well also dota so I am biased)

[DoubleMallow]

To be honest as a dedicated jungle player in most moba's I think it would actually be really cool if there was a jungle and support role and then 4 carries basically. Have the support play the two mid lanes on the map and then the jungler try to cover all four/primarily the side lanes. Or two Junglers? Idk. Needless to say I'm really interested to see how the game continues to develop!!

i got my rejuvenator stolen by the other team yesterday 😢, so we killed them all right there.
put it to good use 😂

Don't let these negative comments get you down dawg, I appreciate the guide and look forward to your content later

[darren]

there is actually multiple destroyable items other than the box and vase

[mrawesomelivshere]

Just wanted to say Stylosa, I loved your OW content, it was amazing and I was an avid watcher for the first 2 seasons (of competitive) - this game gives me those same feels and I just feel grateful that you're making Deadlock content!
Hello and Welcome to MEEEE

[kevinazeltine]

I think the only thing you could add would be what a flex slot is. I'm guessing it's those last four items slots that let you pick from whatever item tree.

[Summonick]

This video almost reminds me of a Tim Robinson sketch, where he keeps explaining new rules and new concepts to the game

[RB_]

Overwatch streamers need to absolutely jump off that sinking shit and “make the switch” to deadlock. This game gives me the same feeling as 2016 overwatch. That’s how you know it’s a safe game to main. The depth and learning adds a whole new level of enjoyment

[Drakshl]

So they made dota into a third person shooter? Im here for it

[zalamael]

Every week, the concurrent player count just keeps going up. Valve did good on this one.

Best tip I would give new players, take your time, play it and enjoy it. The game takes many hours to get to grips with it, there is too much info to know as a new player, so don't sweat it. It will come with time, experience, hours played etc.

I've clocked about 24 hours, been playing for a week, and only now am I starting to get decent at the game (and that is just with one characters, Wraith).

It takes time, so no giving up. Stick with it.

[parisulki]

I love the game and aesthetics, but i am worried it is enabling the same addiction patterns i had from Dota 2,
