Discussion A tweet that has me thinking.

I don’t know if Riot can copy what valve has created with Deadlock. The atmosphere and setting so what I think makes deadlock so enjoyable. Yes the gameplay is amazing and the moba aspects are great but I just don’t think riot will even try to copy valve and make a deadlock clone. What is all y’all’s thoughts.

Not Riot specifically, this tweet is just a jab at Valorant. But there will come another multiplayer game that takes inspiration from Deadlock and there will be a whole discourse about it sold to you by people who do not care to get you to click on a youtube video.

I think that if Deadlock does anything for the gaming scene at large I really hope it is to make other games get their heads out of the sand and implement fun movement mechanics that are more complex.

After grinding Deadlock I am now irrationally disappointed whenever I play a game that doesn't have a wall jump mechanic. Even the last cod has it, but I think casual players might be turned off that sort of mobility.

Check out Diesel Knights on Steam, it's still early in development but a lot of passion is going into it and there's a demo available
