Deadlock as a Steam page, tens of thousands are playing its closed alpha, and even more are watching streamers play it on Twitch. Valve's next competitive game is, but beyond the general sentiment that it's fun, the community hasn't fully nailed down what Deadlock is or even who it's for.
In some ways, Deadlock is an anti-shooter. In Counter-Strike, Call of Duty, or even more MOBA-adjacent hero shooters like Overwatch, the most important tool in your arsenal is the gun in your hand. Positioning, timing, and game sense go a long way, but it's aim skill that does most of the talking. That hasn't been my experience in Deadlock so far.
Deadlock's guns being underpowered isn't some oversight by Valve, obviously. Guns aren't meant to be the stars of the show—that's what abilities and ultimates are for. Abilities are unlocked one-by-one by leveling up and players build on them throughout the match by purchasing items from the shops at spawn points.
