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.

Preach. The success Deadlock is showing atm only makes me wonder what we missed with Battleborn

Battleborn was unironically a very fun game to play, plagued by a team that tried way too hard to be funny (but landed on quite a few good moments) and a team that refused to give it the space it needed. Also, choosing to delay to within 2 weeks of Overwatch release was a choice

Battleborn and Gigantic were both good games and both in this moba-hybrid genre that Deadlock is in.
