Just curious what the demographic here is like. The game seems to be appealing, at least for now, to both crowds. I am an FPS player whereas my friend is a ex-MOBA player and we usually struggle to find games we can enjoy equally. So far we are playing Deadlock a lot together though, and I am more hooked than I expected to be when I first realised this was primarily a MOBA.

If you started playing this game for a different reason feel free to share as well.

    FPS for the most part, though I’ve played Dota. I find Deadlock much easier to approach as an FPS. Something about Dota just felt like I was playing with one hand tied behind my back. I could not, for the life of me, get proficient at jungling, but here it makes a lot more sense to me. Last hitting feels more intuitive to me. I think the spirit orb mechanic is fantastic as a skill game against your lane opponent.

      The spirit orbs are sort of like an aim trainer mini-game. They get you to constantly practice short flicks throughout a match, it’s very satisfying.
