Get Coached by Verified Deadlock Pros

Most of the challenge in solo grinding in Deadlock comes from not being able to see some of the invisible habits that tip the game away from your favor. That’s easily fixable when you have a high-ranking third person who watches you play and identifies these habits, or, as they call it, coaching.

It comes in 3 major formats: live coaching while you play, VOD review of one of your replays, and duo or scrim where you play with the coach. Despite the different formats, you’ll still be working on the same aspects of your gameplay, be it your laning, economy, etc., and in the end, you’ll be given a list of new habits to train.

Before a session, the coach needs to know where you're at and where you wanna get to, in order to tailor the coaching approach. Expect questions about your hero pool, playstyle, whether solo or duo lane gives you more trouble, your rank, and the situations you keep losing.

In the session itself, you join over Discord while they review your gameplay: laning and soul economy, fight positioning, when you rotate, how you read objective timings, and all that Deadlock stuff. You leave with personalized feedback, an adjusted item build, and a short list of specific habits to change.

When you’re in a rut, it’s natural to think that putting in more hours into the grind will help you get out, but does it? You know it hasn’t been working; you just keep tunnel-visioning and keep making the same mistakes every time. Then it’s probably time to try a new strategy and bring in outside help.

A higher-ranking coach can see everything, including the old patterns you think are harmless, and can also open you to the idea that in order to rank up, you need to play like you’re already high in the ranks.

It’s time to abandon the smoked-ass hero like Calico you’re irrationally attached to or the habit of blindly buying items that clash with your opponents. That might’ve worked in Emissary but not in the next ranks. Those are bad habits from listening to too many free guides.

Get coached while the loss is still fresh and queue up with a new mindset and insights specific to your gameplay.
