Don't let Deadlock's MOBA tag scare you off—there's a quick play mode for dummies which is the perfect entry point

I have a very short history with MOBAs—apart from being dragged into one too many League of Legends games, I've tried to keep my exposure to a minimum. But that all changed when Valve semi-released Deadlock into alpha.

It's been almost two years since I started playing, and almost 100 hours later, and despite being one of my favourite games, I still haven't managed to figure out its MOBA intricacies—although I hear that's pretty normal for a MOBA. It's complex moving parts, at times suffocating team fights, and extensive list of items can be a lot to take in, especially for a new player who isn't familiar with MOBAs. But I'm here to tell you that it shouldn't scare you off, not when you can play Street Brawl.
