My opinion: I played a couple of rounds and felt a bit "lost?". Not in a where I am in the map, but as to what needs doing, in what order. There isn't a lot of feedback loop reward to remind you that your doing the right thing to help focus new players like me on what we should be doing next.
I also think it might just be me.
If you haven't played a moba this is normal at first. The game sense comes with experience. The more you play the more patterns emerge and you figure out the flow, that's part of what makes them so addicting because you have to put actually effort in to get any reward and once you are rewarded that's a feeling you want again lol
Common in a MOBA.
The core loop is just push your lane, get more powerful, push your lane. If you're doing that, you're doing your part.
You can detour into other things, getting kills for greater rewards in terms of exp/currency, visiting other lanes to help defend/push them, etc.
And the minutae of what items and abilities to get, when, and in which order, etc, is the stuff you learn by playing, asking others, reading guides, etc.
That's how I felt playing dota in the beginning too.
Same boat. This is the first MOBA I've played, at first I didn't really know what to do and still don't exactly know what some of the events do ~50 hours in.
TYSM! I was literally about to post asking for something like this since this is the only forum of any sort I can find on the game. All the tabs in the Deadlock library page redirect to the store.
