I enjoyed Overwatch. League of Legends always feels awful to play. Deadlock feels way more like League of Legends than Overwatch to me.
It seems cool. I know I don't have the time to get into a moba (or moba-lite) right now, but I hope it catches on and does well.
I’m struggling to enjoy it. Some matches can be enjoyable but more often than not I find it a dull slog.
Theres nothing more boring than being stuck in a game for another 20 minutes when it’s well and truly clear you’ve been getting your arses kicked the previous 20.

To be fair, you don't have to do anything. You can hang back if you think the match is a loss or just farm lane and let them win once you think it's over. This is also how League and Dota seem to work outside competitive, people will just give up if they smell a loss coming.
Except League at least has a forfeit option
Dota does too but its fairly hidden and requires unanimous agreement. That said, Dota is far less snowbally, so unlike League or Deadlock, it rarely makes sense to forfet very early.
It still has some kinks that need ironing out, and it could for sure use a bigger roster, but they're cooking with this one. The MOBA core and superb movement mechanics just complement each other so nicely, and with both powerful easy to use active items and ability-based heroes available it's possible to perform even if you're not an aim god.
It doesn't have skins or ranks. Nothing to hook the addicts into the LiVe SeRvIcE. Just pure fun for the sake of it.
It's still early access... Valve literally invented the hats economy, you're insane if you think they aren't going to add microtransactions to the game 🙄
Ok and? I never said they wouldn't. The game is clearly early access hence the lack of monetization.
I mean, it will have those once the game is officially released.
It doesn't change anything, though. TF2 isn't nearly as bad as Overwatch 2 or Halo Infinite. Idk, all Valve's free games have MTX (microtransactions), but they're not like... annoying, infuriating, etc.
Want to throw me an invite? I really want to try it, but none of my friends are on it. I stopped playing OW when they jumped the shark and announced OW2. You can only play if you know someone who is playing, right?
