Actual numbers are more like 20k players on good days, 35k/40k bots to 15k/20k players on average.
>>
>>741556973
I could understand what's happening on screen in CS, LoL, Rivals and Overwatch after first match. Esports are about ease of spectating, if the game is hard to watch - it fails no matter how hard you try to push it, see Overwarch. It's like sports, each game has a ton of different rules, but they're still easy to follow if you know that guys in red shorts have to kick/toss/hit the ball into the gates of the guys in blue shorts. It's easy to see, it's there. Once you slap a ton of special effects and begin to move in 3D space, easy basics become hard to follow.

>actual MOBA, but with TTK higher than in other popular conventional MOBAs
It's not a conventional MOBA. The 3rd person aspect, great movement and flexible itemisation enables people to end fights quickly or draw them out for minutes.

>match length
The game is designed to last between 20 and 60 minutes. If you can't stay focused for that long then play something else. It wont change and the best you'll get is the side mode Street brawl which lasts around 10 minutes for all the rounds combined.

>unlike other MOBAs, it's much harder to see what's happening due to 3D map
You can see allied silhouettes and those of pinged targets in visible view. Nearby neutrals get the same treatment for clarity too. Generally if you can't see something it's because your in a bad position or aren't looking up/down too.

>game is visually even harder to read than Overwatch
Somewhat improved but this is just something you understand with time. There's very few "what's killing me" moments but you have to have the sense to actually read what's being put on screen. Damage sources and buffs/debuffs are quite visible.

>shooter where headshots with a shotgun deal 1/10 HP worth of damage to a scrawny girl
Why apply the mechanics of other games to this kind of shooter. The guns aren't made to be realistic of initially powerful. They function as well as any other autoattack unless you build it.

OP is just a bad faith nigger who conveniently took a screenshot when the game was at it's lowest daily playercount. 24h peak is usually close to double that number which is perfectly fine for a game that is technically still in its testing phase and on an invite only basis (even if those invites are very easy to get).

The game is nowhere near ready for the public, all the players right now are just in it for the love of the game despite shit being buggy or WIP. 1/3 of the cast need visual or mechanic reworks, jungle needs reworked, midboss needs reworked, the map needs to be finished.
Its obvious the devs want to take their time so when it goes open beta its presentable. And they have valve money so they can take all the time in the world without worrying about deadlines.

I know and I fully support them taking their sweet time. I just think that with the way they handle the whole access via invite bullshit, the barrier of entry is pretty much nonexistant so it already feels like it's in some sort of public testing phase regardless.
>>
>>741557506
I remember when it was arena shooters vs tactical shooters and low TTK was seen as "for faggots" because high TTK makes fights more complex and lets you use advanced movement to a greater effect.

Is this a fucking bait thread or what...? The game is still in alpha/beta and you can't even play the game without a invite. 30 thousand people playing a closed test version of a game is pretty good.
Swear to god, this board would get mindblown if they could see the player numbers for other closed alpha/beta games.

>>741559073
Because Deadlock is a game on development and TF2 is completely abandoned.
But they're not really comparable otherwise because Deadlock is an eSport project.
>>
>>741559023
You're comparing Mario Kart to Forza. Just because they share one part, doesn't mean it's intending to take over the playerbase or even appeal to all of them.

Then you have to factor in how many people have it wishlisted because they want to play the new game by valve rather than actually having played it yet to know whether they actually like it or not.

>>741565157
I enjoy it. A lot of the ones complaining about it usually stem from disliking the genre and annoyance that it's not a completely different game.
It can be a bit overwhelming at first but once you understand a few individual systems, free movement and how your items improve skills/other items then it gets really good.

I'm starting to play less because at this point it's a coin toss whether you are going to get a smurfing Russian or a feeding Russian on your team. Feeding Russian I can understand. But I'd like to sit in my Initiate and eat delicious glue without 29/3 Yamato dictating every single fight in the game and carrying you while you can just afk.

>>741556138
The sheer majority of characters in the game are white. There's only 1 black male, and he's mixed. It's a game with supernatural elements so of course there would be monster characters. You're retarded.
>>
>>741568251
In the last few days they did some anticheat and reporting change so it's begun funnelling highly reported people to low priority matches and keeps them there if it continues.
Almost all the time the player ruining games has a level 2 steam account and made it just to play/cheat at deadlock. I'd have thought they would start limiting accounts without a previous purchase or group the main account that gives the sub account the invite and punish both.

>>741555682
Reminder, the weekly peak happens on Sundays, and based on recent numbers it'll probably
hit around 70k approximately 3 hours from now

It is a fair concession that numbers have been dropping steadily each week since February, with the exception being a handful of weeks when a minor patch came out, but even then numbers are still the highest they've been since shortly after the initial public release (which had a very sharp falloff)

People like to pretend chart threads are cancer but honestly active player count is as good a measure as any for the health of the game
We're in a definite lull at the moment, and anybody who tries to argue otherwise is in blatant denial, but it's equally naive to assume the game is dead forever, especially since we're due for a fairly major update in the coming months
That update will likely see numbers jump to at least 100k, possibly higher depending on how big things are

I don't know if we'll see a spike bigger than the initial release until after the game goes "actual" public, where anyone can just download it, and Valve maybe starts plastering shit on the front page
You'd think that anyone who wants in can get it, but you might be surprised at just how big of a hurdle getting an invite actually is to the average normie, and I have met genuine "gamers" who haven't actually heard of the game or shown interest in it beyond that

True development probably began in 2021 as that's the last time Icefrog ever posted anything to Dota 2.
2018 was likely just proof of concepts and fiddling around like that one Half-Life 2 video they showed of antlions running at one another that was basically the prototype to the whole idea.

Sinners are a point of vulnerability, taking your health and focus and being loud enough for those around to easily hear.

Boxes are a way of earning as you travel from A to B. I don't know how someone can struggle with breaking random objects as they move around.

Creeps are distinct little troopers, either with their own attack preferences and the entire presence/deny mechanics

Hero balance alters every update with most builds being viable on any character.

Bebop has the most object damage on the team so I'll assume he just stuck to lanes instead of fights and never got the stacks on his bomb. But his soul count seems too low.

>>741570951
The furfags were in the game long before it was F2P.

Him and Yamato are the most obvious holdovers from neon prime.
Mo and Kril are also very ugly with the big guys face being a mostly untextured smear but he's rarely brought up.
The shader improvements and general visual style to the rest of the game has been pretty good, and its not even done yet.
>>
>>741571537
Half the roster is still WIP or need to be redone entirely like Sinclair or Viscous.
There's also 10000 bugs to be fixed, unfinished map areas, backend api match info, ui shit, voicelines missing, cosmetic shop, etc

The game is pre-alpha for a reason.

Yep I went back to DOTA 2 after 20 hours of giving it a real try. It’s shit. It’s not gonna be done until after Half life 3 so 2028 at the earliest so whatever. I know it will be fun when they get it right, but draft, roles, and it needs to decide if it wants to be a moba or a shooter more. There is way too much going the fuck on at any given second and it all matters a fucking lot. I play Star Craft 2 and am used to APM being high but Deadlock feels particularly autistic.

I know the people who like it enjoy it for what it is, but personally I wish it was either MORE DotA or MORE shooter and I can't make heads or tails of which would be better.

Too bitesized. People want to be able to actually run around the massive city the game has and have a proper large scale battle.

Maybe one day "Street Brawl but using the full map" will be made and cause people to question why they even bother with the intended game mode.

Wanna talk about the urn? The urn briefly turned the game into CTF (you know, the worst game mode in every single multiplayer shooter it's ever been in.) If that's not an obvious sign that the game devs are just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks (doesn't get people crying on their forums about it) then I don't know what does.
People think they want a game designed by committee where the devs listen and tweak and change whatever people cry about. The best games are made by devs with vision and confidence.
>>
>>741575620
It's not that streamlined, the templates can only take you so far and that's if you bother to set them up
If you want the TPS audience to play your game the macro has to he dead simple. I think Monday Night Combat was the best attempt but afaik it flopped and its successor which was heavier on the moba complexity didn't register

You say novel; I say worse designed.
The 3rd person perspective is the biggest fundamental issue with the game. Dota has none of the issues with visibility and visual clarity that playing with the 3rd person camera has. You can SEE spell ranges at a glance, you can know exactly what is happening with your teammates at all times. Being in 3rd person is more of a detriment overall and the interesting things that the game could do with a Z axis is so underutilized. Why am I walking on the ground in every single lane? Why did they remove so many tops of buildings moving from the 4 lane to 3 lane map? Unrelated to the Z axis but why is it even set in New York when all their new characters have no relevance to the setting? NY has so much personality and character in its people that tue characters should design themselves. Doorman is the only well designed from top to bottom (gameplay and art) in the whole game.

aeon of strife was truly one of the four horsemen presaging the death of video games. delete that one, then maybe dota never exists, then maybe the whole cursed lineage of ASSFAGGOTS never comes to be.

I don't understand this mentality at all.
A game of Deadlock has 12 total players. 37,774/12 is 3,147 unique active games, rounding down. If you count streetbrawl, a 4v4 mode, that number potentially caps out at 4,721.

They should be trying things successfully, or even scrapping terrible ideas that have proven to waste their time, one would think.
Dota added facets to all heroes, an extra fucking major passive or spell modification, not so infrequently new mechanics even. And then removed them and reworked half into the base kit, because facets as an idea was failing the goal of giving players meaningful choices.
So:

>alpha game
>can't figure out a capture the flag/king of the hill aide objective over 3 years of repetitive, meaningless changes, despite hundreds of games even shit from alaplaya like S4 League giguring it all out 20 years ago
>the side objective consistently fails to crystalize as a comeback mechanic, as an advantage pushing mechainic, or even simply as fun

>fully released game
>adds a highly transformative new feature to 100+ characters, with intent
>instantly fun
> willingly removes it a year and a half later becauae they can make a coherent assessment of that intent failing

Deadcucked.

Yeah that's why the game isn't officially released yet, retard.

The urn kinda killed the game for me. The game doesn't have that charm anymore, as now URN is mandorty to go and fight it. Not like before you could push lane while your team tries to run urn or stop it. Now if your not at the new urn fight you lose the game. Also the meta is not play this game like a moba but like overwatch and rivals to constantly brool.
>>

Like another anon mentioned, Dota 2 gets new mechanics added, changed, removed all the time. If you think there's suddenly going to be this grand shift where every mechanic is locked in and will not see further changes because of a change to the game's store page then you're retarded. The only way that happens is if everyone stops playing it like Artifact or Dota Underlords (the current devs of Deadlock btw, the talent behind Dota 2 and previous iconic Valve games are long on.)
The game is out, it's been out of private, closed development for years now. It's ass and has experienced player dips up to 90% because of the fundamental flaws with its design. Check the Dota 2 player counts from when it too was in closed beta, they never went down lmao

Honestly you have the zealots but the game would be better if you started axing the source engine exploit movement shit that lets you fly across the map in seconds. Dash Jumping should not be useless outside of triggering two items. Holding forward should not fuck up your momentum.
Combined with the limited perspective it just feels like shit.
>>
I gotta be honest I dont get any arguments about this game being "invite only". Most people start cause their friends invite them or they hear about it from friends. Its honestly easier to get a Deadlock invite code then it is to get League of Legends on your pc. Also Deadlock has to be the only game which is more fun to soloq then to play with friends so this will be the thing breaking the camels back. In terms of player numbers.
