Deadlock got another balance pass, and this week Omni and Yarn are checking in on what actually feels different now that Radiant Regen has been taken down a few pegs, Baba is slightly less terrifying, and the City Never Sleeps roster has had a little more time to settle in.

We talk about Baba’s new randomness, whether AoE slop is actually bad or whether we should simply stop worrying and learn to love it, why Pa...

Deadlock has had a little time to settle after the City Never Sleeps rollout, so Omni and Yarn check back in on where the game actually stands now.

This week: Baba, Graves and Rat King are sitting near the top of the win-rate charts, Deadman Danny continues to be an airborne pain in the ass, some older heroes are getting pushed out of the spotlight, and the increasingly crowded team fights still have us asking what...

This week’s Dadlock is extra large...make sure to bring your appetite!

Violet and Nurse Harrow are finally here, so Omni and Yarn dig into both new heroes: why Violet has become such a weirdly divisive character, what's going on with Nurse Harrow, and what happens when seemingly every new character arrives with another enormous teamfight-changing ability, then we do what Dads were made to do...ramble until it's time to talk about lore some mo...

Solomon and Deadman Danny are finally here, and Deadlock continues its campaign to put more shit on our screens than our aging eyes can process.

This week, Omni and Yarn dig into both new heroes: why Solomon might be one of the coolest characters Valve has added yet, Deadman Danny has also arrived, and whether Deadlock is starting to suffer from kit creep as every new hero gets more tools, mobility, utility, damage, and visual nonsense...

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 fr...

Dadlock Episode One

Deadlock’s September 16 update is here, and you dads have opinions. Omni and Yarn dig into Valve’s latest Deadlock patch, including movement changes, how they feel about ranked matchmaking, the soul economy, jungle farming, and changes to items like Spiritual Overflow, Golden Goose Egg, Trophy Collector, Lifestrike, and Cultist Sacrifice.

We also get into why low-ELO Deadlock sometimes feels like everyone is playing a completely different game, whether Dead...
