Good, let’s bring back shame for non-competitive behavior.
Where does this sudden obsession with frogs come from at Valve? There is another project from a Valve employee related to frogs as well.
All I can think of is the valve staff member who is famous for DOTA 2 balancing goes by the handle IceFrog
Oh man, yes! IceFrog is the one who is behind Deadlock as well. Makes sense with this game to have fun with frogs. And the other projects might be just inspired and the frog becomes a symbol for success or change or whatever it is. Yes, probably related, good point.
Frogs rule!
Frog core anyone? https://froglord.bandcamp.com/album/save-the-frogs
Dang it I thought they were finally making a modern Battletoads game!
Is Deadlock going to lean any further into being a shooter, or should I just start filtering the term “Deadlock” for being an unfortunately-awesomely aesthetic’d MOBA? Cause keeping it a band, getting crashed out on by a League-toucher in my first match during playtests no less was enough to make me want formats where the League and DOTA-touchers would not be. Like, if mfs already crashing out on 106% toxicity before day zero even hits, I already know ion’t wanna be in these queues.
Without non-MOBA formats, all I see this as is superfluous in the face of DOTA, and just another Valve Thing™ in the way of TF2 ever getting back on its feet the same way Smite keeps getting in the way of Paladins.
Wtf did I just read?!
