Deadlock's Doorman: A Creative Blend of Mechanics
The latest character, Doorman, introduces a fresh twist with a Portal-like ability that lets players navigate through doorways. His ultimate, which teleports enemies to a platforming challenge, is a unique mechanic that adds an interesting layer to combat. However, while the concept is innovative, the execution may be frustrating for players unfamiliar with platforming elements. - The Call Bell ability offers tactical advantages but feels somewhat gimmicky. - The Luggage Cart ability is amusing, yet it raises questions about balance and fairness in gameplay. Overall, Doorman is a bold attempt at mixing genres, but it might not resonate with everyone. As Deadlock is still in closed beta, access can be tricky, limiting player feedback. Regular updates and community involvement will be crucial for its success. For those eager to try, the subreddit offers avenues for gaining access. Ultimately, Doorman showcases Valve's creativity, even if it stumbles on balance.
