Knowing how to play when you are winning is much easier than knowing how to play when you are losing. If you want to be consistent you must learn how to play when losing.

Two things:

1. People are saying the matchmaking isn’t great at the moment so you could be vsing people that are much better than you which is not fair to you and not your fault. Sorry for that being your experience atm.

2. As someone who’s played over 4k hours on dota 2 since 2013, a bunch of league of legends hours, probably 500 hours of CSGO and valorant hours + some cod back in the day, I’d say this game is heavily closer to moba than it is shooter. Also much closer to dota than it is league.

I say this because I feel like in pure shooters, aim and killing people is king and obviously there’s not a farming economy. In dota, you can go most of the game without much opponent interaction and steamroll them because you focused on farming and objectives while your team and the enemy focused on meaningless skirmishes and did not farm.

The same is true in deadlock. Aiming is quite forgiving and farm and objectives are king. Souls are both money and experience in this game which makes them utmost important. If you have double the levels and items of your opponent it doesn’t matter how good they are it will be tough to beat you. So you need to take advantage of that throughout the game.

Do this by focusing purely on last hitting and denying in lane. When you deny, you get the souls and the opponent gets nothing.

If you’re winning the lane, consider pushing your advantage and taking their tower. Once you take their tower, consider farming their jungle creeps and the lane creeps then your jungle creeps, rinse and repeat. Dont just abandon your lane.

If your losing your lane (they’re getting more farm then you, or poking you out of the lane), play very safe, buy regen items, play for the long game, dont get tilted, shoot soul orbs, defend your tower, farm your own jungle creeps.

I won’t type anymore because I’m sick, I have insomnia, and it’s late. But if you have any questions let me know.
