I've been modding a game for a few days and not on here as much. What's your excuse friend?

Addicted to Deadlock. It’s really cutting into my doom scrolling.

I feel you, man. Genshin just dropped a new country and I keep thinking, oh, I’ll just explore for a little bit…

"Well I'm pretty far from any teleports, so if I don't collect this now, it'll take a while to find it again."

Rinse and repeat till 2 am.

Aha another Genshin fan! I can’t wait to see the pyro archon!

I don't want to get sucked into it.

Doing a full renovation on my house means that I have maybe 5 hours per week to play games or work on small fun projects, so I would probably rather play games that are less competitive in my free time.

It seems like a fun, but frustrating game right now. A decent mcginnis or seven can completely team wipe with their crazy ults. There seems to be a big lack of ability healing or AOE defense buffs to compensate.

But I have only played a dozen games or so.

The trick to McGinnis ult is that you have to close on her - it has a minimum range. The difficulty of course is that her turrets are eating you alive as you try to close.

Seven ulti is pretty strong in specific situations (like base defence) but I'd argue his inmate flash farm is way stronger - he's a better left click carry than he is an ult bot.

You’re right to be wary. It has a high skill ceiling and I learn new stuff in it every day despite playing over 4 hours a day lately. It has that “just one more round” element for me, but a game lasts 20-40 minutes!
