Valve’s latest multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) hero shooter, Deadlock, has been smashing the charts lately. This game is Valve’s first true third-person shooter and marks a significant milestone in one key aspect.
In Deadlock, you control powerful and skilled heroes, aiming to dominate the map by breaking down the opposing team’s defences. As you do this, you’ll need to accompany an army of NPCs. So, which characters are the best for the newcomers? Here are the 8 best heroes for beginners in Deadlock.
8. Abrams
If you’re looking for something highly durable, Abrams might be the right choice for you. This hero, which beginners can use with ease, stands out with its durability and mobility in matches.
Abrams has the bulk and sustains to lead from the front, often running into the middle of his foes and watching them scatter. If his enemies waste their fire on him, his backline teammates can lay out damage with impunity.
