A Pocket attacking enemies from above.
An item build made for Yamato.

Mechanics in Deadlock are a combination of third-person-shooter and MOBA mechanics. Broadly speaking, the macro mechanics are that of a MOBA, whereas the micros are that of a TPS.

Macros

  • Laning
    • The process of organizing players in the laning phase (see: Strategy).
  • Team Composition
    • The process of choosing which heroes to play.
  • Item Management
    • The process of forming an item build.

Micros

  • Aim
  • Movement
    • The process of moving and positioning your hero.
    • Can involve the use of zip-lines.
  • Troop Management
    • The process of killing enemy troopers whilst denying the enemy from getting souls from yours.
    • Can be referred to as Creep Management.


Creep/troop denial is a crucial part of the game's laning phase and invoves shooting the souls of one's own trooper when they are killed. this prevents enemy laners from obtaing soul orbs by killing troopers.
