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.

Probably the drama from rivals last month, a girl playing the character blackwidow on marvel rivals tournament did poorly and the team's excuse was "playing for the vibes". They kicked their best player(kingsman) who carried their only win and proceeded to lose 7 games and all bombarded him with insults for making suggestions. It got big and he got popular because of it.

To add to this, Black Widow sucks like Widowmaker does in Overwatch, like a D-tier hero at best. And the reason why the girl was playing poorly was because she had 200+ ping. On a tournament.

Kingsman wasn't even berating her for doing poorly. He just suggested that she switched to another character as Black Widow wasn't doing anything (evidently from her 0-5-0 KDA)

Hol up. Shes a GM player which is like Gold (or lower) in other games so she did just suck in general.
