Strategy: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

'''Strategy''' in [[Deadlock]]~~, at a very basic level, involves leading your army into enemy territory down 3 lanes,~~ destroying ~~objectives and eventually killing~~ the enemy team's [[Patron]]. ~~However~~, ~~the methods for doing this~~ are ~~where the depth~~ and the ~~complexity come in~~. ~~[[The Cursed Apple]] is separated into Three lanes: York~~, ~~Broadway~~, and ~~Park~~. ~~An army of [[Troopers]] will be deployed marching down each lane. 2 players will be sent down~~ to ~~each lane~~.

'''Strategy''' in ''[[Deadlock]]'' referes to the game knowledge and techniques employed by players to achieve the ultimate goal of destroying the enemy team's [[Patron]].

== Team Composition ==

A '''Team Composition''' is the 6 heroes a team employs in battle.

Since Deadlock's matchmaking uses a semi-random roster selection, players are encouraged to learn different heroes and adapt to the needs of their teams instead of fitting into rigid roles. Some heroes like {{HeroIcon|Ivy}}, {{HeroIcon|Rem}} and {{HeroIcon|Paige}} fit a support role since their abilities have strong synergies with teammates. Others like {{HeroIcon|Haze}} and {{HeroIcon|Infernus}} fit the carry role, and can have strong individual impact in a game by securing kills. However, most heroes have some flexibility to fit different playstyles as needed.

== Laning ==

Line 12:

Line 17:

* '''Laning Phase (Early game)''': Players focus on winning their lane by managing troops, clearing [[Denizen]] camps, looking for easy kills, and gaining a [[souls|Soul]] advantage.

* '''Midgame''': Players who have secured an advantage in their lane begin roaming to assist teammates, while all players continue farming objectives to strengthen their team’s position.

* '''Endgame''': Teams work to solidify their [[souls|Soul]] advantage, engage in most of the teamfights, and push to attack the enemy [[Patron]].

~~This new three-lane setup encourages more dynamic teamplay, with an increased focus on coordination and rotations.~~

~~== Team Composition ==~~

A '''Team Composition''' is the 6 heroes a team employs in battle. Strategically employing heroes whose abilities complement each other, or who work best with a certain playstyle is significant for team strategy. For example a {{HeroIcon|Dynamo}} can use Singularity to trap a number of enemies, while a friendly {{HeroIcon|Infernus}} charges up his Concussive Combustion, guaranteeing that the explosion blasts every target in the vicinity.

== Objectives ==

Line 41:

Line 42:

At present, the third person camera is locked to each Hero's right shoulder, which means that peeking on the right side of cover will always expose you less than the left side. Using this to your advantage in the laning phase will give you a significant advantage when trading weapon damage.

~~=== Aiming ===~~

~~Some Heroes require more accuracy and skill expression regarding '''aiming''', such as {{HeroIcon|Vindicta}}, but overall '''aiming''' is a crucial part of ''[[Deadlock]]''.~~
