BigBlueThe geniuses at Valve have decided to make a MOBA with good gameplay instead of bad gameplay. I do think a lot of ill will towards this game comes from people who probably shouldn't play a large, long-match game with a competitive ecosystem. Alternatively, people who just aren't into PvP shooters as a whole but feel pressured to try to like it because it's Valve's next big project, which is a sentiment I relate to because I only started playing with the City Never Sleeps update that made the map actually look good and not like a collection of stale crackers. Like, I totally get and agree that the barrier to entry is high, a standard match is EXTREMELY overwhelming... but also, every PvP game has a period where you're a noob and you have to learn the ropes. The only real difference is that this is a competitive game where the teams are small enough that you have a very tangible impact on your team's success, as opposed to something like TF2. But I also think the Deadlock devs are aware of this and that Street Brawl is a REALLY good mitigation of these issues and makes the onboarding process a lot more digestible. This'll be even more true if and when the PvE mode drops. Also the game isn't finished yet that's worth mentioning.
