New Measures Introduced in Deadlock to Address Player Misconduct

The early access phase of Deadlock has allowed some players to enjoy the game without facing any consequences for their actions. However, with the recent update, significant changes have been implemented to address this issue.

Valve is currently developing an innovative hero-based shooter, and as it continues to undergo testing, it is clear that Deadlock still has a few unresolved issues. One particular concern has been the lack of a system to deter players from abandoning matches without justification. The September update has introduced corrective measures, including new penalties for inappropriate behavior during gameplay. For instance, players who frequently quit matches or display negative conduct may find themselves placed in a secondary matchmaking queue that reduces their chances of quickly finding opponents.

To escape this lower-priority queue, affected players must participate in several matches before being readmitted to the standard matchmaking system. In addition to this, the new update has implemented stricter consequences, which can result in players losing access to matchmaking entirely. Players may also face restrictions on their ability to communicate in both voice and text chats, as well as the ability to pause games or report abusive players. Implementing such penalties is crucial in maintaining a healthy online environment, particularly in first-person shooters, where the community can sometimes be less than welcoming.

The recent update also introduced several general improvements, including the significant change of enabling matchmaking availability around the clock, which was previously restricted to specific hours. While there have been considerable adjustments to the minimap, these changes were reverted swiftly following player feedback.

Despite these advancements, Valve still needs to tackle the ongoing challenges related to cheating within the game. Nevertheless, given that Deadlock is still in its early stages, it is reasonable to expect that further improvements will be made in the future.
