Ilya “ALOHADANCE” Korobkin Criticizes Deadlock’s High Pace: Streamer’s Opinion

Deadlock, Valve’s new multiplayer shooter, continues to spark heated discussions among media personalities and professional gamers.

This time, Ilya “ALOHADANCE” Korobkin, former NAVI Dota 2 player and popular streamer, shared his thoughts on the ambitious project.

During a recent stream, Ilya admitted that Deadlock didn’t impress him. His main concern was the game’s extremely fast pace and the overwhelming number of mechanics, which, in his view, makes the game too chaotic and hard to follow.

“I didn’t like Deadlock. It’s probably a good game, but there’s just too much going on. The fights are chaotic, and it’s hard to keep track of what’s happening. Honestly, it’s overwhelming for me. Maybe the game has a high skill threshold,” commented Ilya “ALOHADANCE” Korobkin.

Deadlock is indeed fast-paced and packed with multiple mechanics that can confuse newcomers or those used to slower gameplay. In the game, two teams of six players face off, each controlling a hero with unique abilities. Players need to not only fight against enemies but also interact with neutral monsters, use strategies to destroy bases, and defend against the opponent’s towers. This level of multitasking requires good game knowledge and quick reflexes.

Despite Korobkin’s criticism, many players and streamers are still enjoying Deadlock and find its unique gameplay exciting. For example, Alexander “Nix” Levin, another well-known streamer, shared a more positive opinion about the game recently. Read Alexander “Nix” Levin’s thoughts on Deadlock here.
