Played my first round two days ago, got flamed for being bad at the game. 10/10 League experience would play again.

You need to have 12500 hours experience in the game before you are allowed to play the game.

Sounds like an entry-level job

I love Deadlock, but I am worried about a hyper competitive scene being a big part of it. I'm happy exploring mechanics without being flamed.

Getting familiar with mute or mute all options is the way to go. There's always gonna be dirt throwing in matchmaking, so you have to adapt it to your liking. For me that means that if the first thing someone says in team chat or voice is a complaint or flame, they are not really worth my time or attention. They could have said hello, asked for help, but no they went straight for a basic emotional response. No thx. That has helped a lot for me in MM.

Too bad I have no idea how deadlock works so far , gonna be a lot of muting! 😅
