It's a straight up 3rd person MOBA, like Smite, Paragon, Gigantic and others of their like. They have similar build progression like Dota or LoL but you're shooting in 3rd person.
Deathlock is different from the way the map is structured and of course the heroes it uses are unique. The artstyle is definitely Valve and will have folks thinking of Dota2 or TF2
Anyone have a Deadlock key they can send to me or invite me?
I can, but don't think I have you on my friends list - https://steamcommunity.com/id/FlamingP/
I checked out a video of this new game and I have never been so confused in my life! I don't have the slightest idea what it is or what's going on...
Am I old now? What is happening lol?

That's kind of how I am. I'm aware of MOBAs and the main gameplay concepts, but generally hate them because they tend to be maddening click-fests, the communities are notoriously toxic, and I tend to hyper-focus too much on things when I should be looking at the bigger picture.
But since it's more of a shooter than an RTS, it has me interested. There are some pretty good guides in their Discord, but there is a lot to absorb. I've just played a couple of matches solo against bots to get a feel for the characters, I haven't jumped into a live match yet.
I understand the concept, but I don't think I'll ever grasp the nuances of all the different skills/tactics etc.
Can you light shit on fire?
There is a character that lights shit on fire. But he uses finger guns instead of a flamethrower.
Boo! No aiming! More burning!
Someone finally hit me with this. Anyone still playing? Could try one night this week
So my buddy and co-worker Sam, creator of the Defiant Spartan, is in Seattle for the Unreal Fest. On a whim he reached out to Robin Walker and is having lunch with him and getting a tour of Valve on Wednesday. I am jazzed for him.
Hi. So I think it's just going to make me sadder but...
TF2 night soon? We played the last few years for tboon's birthday but his ass didn't have the energy this year so we're due.
And I know he played a million other games but when I think of playing games with ranalin, it was TF2 and BC2.
So let's do the thing.
Let's try and do this. Ranalin was one of the first people to go out of their way to teach me to play TF2 - I always associate him with TF2 although I know he was a connoisseur of online games generally. Hell, we played Firefall together, remember that thing?
Anyway...let's get the band back together, remember and celebrate Chuck "Ranalin" Turner, one of our own. I nominate Sunday 1/12 at 9:00 Eastern.
I'll post a Steam thing since a lot of the old timers have moved on from the forums. If someone could do a GWJ Discord thing, that might let some folks know too.
Edit: date and time are suggestions. I know some of you old-timers may need more notice.
I posted in the shooters channel but more importantly I asked Ahrez to get the word out.
Got the ping in Discord. Very sad news, but glad to know there's such a thoughtful community here.
It was posted in discord so most people know but we settled officially on 1-12 started at 9 PM EST. We'll coordinate via discord voice probably since finding a good room can be a PITA. BYOB.
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone.
Sorry for bailing tonight, could not join the server you guys were playing in (Could not join and could not make heads or tails of the interface altogether)
Still, enjoyed hearing you having fun for an akwardly longer than necessary amount of time. At least I managed to have a small silent toast in Ranalin's memory while trying to join the server.
Feeank, it was great to see you in chat.
It was great to see everyone who showed up. I think Ran would have been pleased.
I don't have the words to make this better so I'll just speak for myself:
I never really thought about it. I left this community a few years ago because I was simplifying my online life but really, nothing changed that much for me. I had my small group I was in contact with and we would play a thing and... Ran would join. Ran would always join. And we'd play. And it'd be great. Most of the time I was thankful he was there to carry me.
And now he won't and the world is less bright for that.
I am grateful for the time I had with him. I am grateful that he spent some of the time he had on me. I hope his time was happy and I hope, at least in small measure, that I added to that happiness (at least abstractly because usually my goal was to make him as unhappy as possible).
Thanks for tonight, everyone. Ran would have enjoyed it.
I would like to apologize to everybody for that well placed turret on our first round of Dustbowl.
I have put in a couple hours in Pyro.
Looking forward to get good.
