It’s really good if you are into moba-type gameplay.
Some people will compare it to something like overwatch, but it’s really closer to Dota 2 with shooter combat. It’s a cool mix of map-control/strategic elements of Dota with more twitchy aspects of arena-ish shooters.
I’ve really enjoyed it, but then again my two most played games of all time are dota and tf2.

I think Valve would disagree.
~60k players on Deadlock yesterday, ~100k today. Probably more tomorrow. It’s still in playtest.
Is it any good? I heard the concept was going nowhere
As someone who’s enjoyed league and Overwatch for years, I like it.
I mean, the inherent annoying thing in moba is the farming, but aside from that.
Smite 1 I used to play a bit and it’s reminiscent, but much better. The movement feels good.
There are threads which are sharing game invites to the playtest. And technically I can invite people too

It’s a more MOBA-y Overwatch. If you like Overwatch, you will probably enjoy it. If you don’t, there’s still a chance but it’s not super likely.
