FIRST IMPRESSIONS DEADLOCK

After some time testing it I am going to give my opinion about the new agent, DEADLOCK.

 

Ability Potential
– Gravnet
Serves to make microphones and stop executions.

 

– Sonic Sensor
Its main function is to support strongholdear an area where it is unusual for the opponent to play contact.

 

– Protective Mesh
Prevents the passage of the opponent and has a certain ability to make micro.

 

– Annihilation
Rare ultimate for a sentinel, but gives some offensive capability.

 

How Sentinel
Sentinels: Agents whose abilities can guard an area or block passage to it.

Yeeees, Deadlock is a Sentinel. He has abilities that both guard and block passage.

 

General Characteristics
These can be seen in the Agents section!!!
In general lines what stands out is his defensive capacity.
It has good information capacity. But, except for the Ultimate, this information capacity depends on the opponent.
And its Sensors have no range, which is something to value.

 

Basic approaches in ATK and DEF
In attack, his biggest impact is in PostPlant situations.

In defense it can strongholdear a Zone. It can also support with the Sensors a zone and stay in another with the Gravnet and the Barrier.

 

Maps
He is an agent that due to his skill set will shine more in closed maps like Ascent, Split or Bind. He does not benefit from maps with open spaces like Breeze.

 

Compositions
Especially compositions that overlap your lack of solid information.
Compositions that have two or more initiators such as Skye, Fade…
Also in compositions with another sentinel like KillJoy or Cypher.

 

Conclusion
It seems to me an interesting character. That brings different little things.
I don’t think it will be used much, neither in rankeds or in competitive. But well, let’s wait and see what happens. I always hope to be surprised, but in the end it’s always ABC.
That said, I approve of DeadLock. But it needs some changes.
