Deadlock players ask Valve to add an important feature to improve the “clunky” combat
Deadlock players are begging developer Valve to add key features to minimize the “cumbersome” combat system.
Deadlock is the new release that is currently on everyone’s lips. The new MOBA from developer Valve is breaking engagement records and is already establishing itself as one of the most promising new titles on the market.
That’s not to say, however, that players don’t have concerns about the game’s early combat. Of course, the game is still in very early stages of development and still has years of development to go, but fans have been quick to voice their concerns about some of the specifics, namely how to cast and use skills.
Currently, when players have multiple active spells and items applied to a target, they must press the assigned key combination and click individually to use each spell and item.
Because of this, Deadlock players have been calling on developer Valve to add a “Quickcast” feature that would allow them to use as many abilities as they want without having to repeatedly spam their hotkey.
The original poster in a new Reddit thread explained: “I’ve been using Quickcast in Dota for many years because it just feels really awkward to have to use an ability or item and then click on it.”
Other Deadlock players quickly chimed in and echoed the point.
Although activating multiple skills by double-clicking is an alternative option, many claim that this can have the opposite effect.
“Am I crazy or does this not work for many things? Double tapping cancels the ability too, right? I enabled this setting and found that I could no longer teleport my teammates with Dynamo,” revealed one Reddit user.
While the lack of a quickcast feature has caused some frustration, it doesn’t seem to be a cause for concern in the long term. Deadlock is still in early development, so players are confident that Valve will implement this and many other improvements over time.
Several users are convinced: “Dota has Quickcast, so it will have this too.”
At the time of writing, Valve has yet to fulfill the community’s request to add a Quickcast feature, but we’ll keep you updated if that happens.
In the meantime, while you familiarize yourself with the game’s wide range of characters, here are some of our optimal builds to brush up on.
