I don't understand why they're bothering with this. Isn't the Moba shooter genre already played-out? It felt like it was losing steam over 10 years ago when they dropped a sequel to Monday Night Combat that nobody asked for.
Well there's not really any major 3rd person MOBA's, and Deadlock is not very similar to Smite in gameplay.
I think it's an interesting addition to a not very well explored genre -- I'm not the biggest MOBA fan but this one is a lot of fun (for me) because of the emphasis on movement and patience.
I wonder if the dev team wanted to play a game that doesn't really exist yet and so they made this, since it seems more like a passion project.
