One my favorite games of all time, neglected by a powerful and rich company. Many other companies would dream of having 25k active players (90k in total but the rest are bots). Instead of fixing anticheat and the bot problems, and give just a little bit of manpower to TF2, they just decide to dump all of their live service games to focus on Deadlock. This just gives them a bad reputation and the impression that, Deadlock, too, will soon fall into negligence.

-------------

EDIT: There have been several improvements to this game done by Valve. Lots of cheaters and bots have been banned in waves, matchmaking has been improved and the playerbase has been sort of stabilized for now.

There has been even revealed progress about the #7 comic chapter which shows positive actions by Valve. I will revert my review to recommended, for now.
