Episode notes
Deadlock’s City Never Sleeps update is enormous, and join your dads as we attempt to process all of it.
Omni and Yarn dive into the new map, redesigned jungle camps, Times Square, the deeply menacing Statue of Liberty, the strange new fog zone, steam vents, environmental details, and whether Valve has finally made Deadlock feel even more like a proper MOBA.
Then they get into the Broker and corrupted-item system, the performance hit from the new update, the redesigned health bars and UI, the new item shop, accessibility features, auto-move, keybind customization, and the increasingly urgent question of whether Yarn needs a new computer.
And there are six new heroes. We talk Rat King, Solomon, Nurse Harrow, Baba, Violet, and Deadman Danny, speculate wildly about how they might play, and determine the proper voting order completely scientifically.
