Its not the worst, i think its in a good spot for an alpha, there are some clear balancing issues however I do feel it's nice to see some skill based elements put into a third person moba, if you look at overwatch for example, that is a first person moba without any of the skill based moba or fps stuff, deadlock has these things which is nice.
I think the artstyle is carrying it hard though, look up neon prime leaked gameplay its clear if it still looked like that no one would care. i think the valve polish will be why people play this.
really wondering if it does flop where valve will go, as that will be dota underlords, artifact and deadlock all failing, i kind of want that to happen as itll force them to re-evaluate what has worked before.
my main wonder is how long its going to take them to abandon this title next though.
