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.

No the heroes are locked behind payment?! The game is not free. It was mostly free in beta.

You can unlock the agents with playtime alone, which is what 95% of the playerbase has done. All of Valorant is free, the only thing that costs money is cosmetics. Even CS had a pricetag just to play at one point

I played it a bunch. Seemed to me you had to play like 30-50 hours for a agent. I'm not saying the dedicated fans don't go that route, but they cost money for a reason. Many people buy them.
