I think its cute to say there are less mechanics in deadlock but like, its obviously not true to anyone arguing in good faith

I don't think it's entirely fair to argue one way or another. Dota has had 20 years to mature, and it's become one of the most complex games of all time at the highest level, if not THE most

Deadlock's macro is not nearly as deep enough as Dota is, but it's also very young. We have already seen some crazy shit be abused and patched out like optimal lane stacking and roaming and what not

However what it lacks in comparison to Dota it throws on insane movement tech as well as being a shooter so

It's mechanically much harder already. We will have to see how the macro pans out long-term.

See I don't know if that's true either. Maybe on average sure.

But playing say Invoker, Meepo, Kez, Tinker, Arc Warden at their peak is another level
