==Micro Strategies== === Uptime === '''Uptime''' relates to farm camps (either Troops or Neutrals), to advancing lanes, to harassing enemies, to taking down towers etc. Everything that doesn't make you idle and generate value could be considered '''uptime'''. === Positioning === Managing your '''positioning''' will allow you to control more space on the map, be effective in teamfights, deny enemy pushes, and utilize your hero's abilities most effectively. Controlling more area of the map increases the viable farming area for both Denizens and enemy Troopers for your team. '''Positioning''' in teamfights or in smaller skirmishes is critical, staying safe but active in the fight will allow you to apply pressure to the enemy while removing the opportunity for them to gain an advantage by killing you. === Cover Usage === Like any shooter, using corners and walls allows you to be covered against almost all skills and items, since most of them require Line of Sight to be activated or cause damage. Heroes will lean around cover when close to the cover's horizontal edge, exposing their head hitbox. At present, the third person camera is locked to each hero's right shoulder, which means that peeking on the right side of cover will always expose you less than the left side. Using this to your advantage in the laning phase will give you a significant advantage when trading weapon damage. === Aiming === Some heroes require more accuracy and skill expression regarding '''aiming''', such as {{HeroIcon|Vindicta}} but overall '''aiming''' is a crucial part of ''[[Deadlock]]''. === Map Knowledge === Knowledge of the [[Map|Map's]] layout. This includes, but is not limited to, [[Cosmic Veil]] locations, Rune locations, and [[Teleporter]] locations. === Rotations === The process of traversing one part of the map to enter another. '''Rotation''' can be related to concepts such as ganking or roaming. Terminology from DOTA 2 calls ganking in the art of appearing from a fog of the jungle to surprise - and potentially kill - enemies, but '''rotations''' are more broad and are be related to creating space in different lanes and related concepts. === Movement === * The process of moving and positioning your hero. * Involves [[ziplines]] and [[stamina]] usage in addition to sliding. === Troop Management === * The process of killing enemy [[trooper]]s and '''denying''' the enemy from getting [[Souls]] from their Trooper kills. * Can also be referred to as Creep Management. '''Creep/Troop denial''' is a crucial part of the game's laning phase and involves shooting the Souls of one's own trooper when they are killed. This prevents enemy laners from obtaining Soul orbs by killing troopers. Denying souls is still effective after the laning phase, as souls increase in value as the game continues. Denying souls after the lane phase grants all souls to the denier, which can be an effective way to individually gain more souls if you are farming for an important item. Pushing up lanes by killing enemy Troopers spreads your team's area of control and removes farmable space from the enemy. If your team is able to control more of the map by pushing up troopers, friendly ziplines will extend and allow trooper reinforcements to help push [[Guardian|Guardians]] and [[Walker|Walkers]], further pressing your advantage.
