Posted here last week about Lenslock (ranked competitive platform for Deadlock). Alpha goes live Friday May 8th at 20:00 PM CEST and figured I'd share an update.

Where we landed:

• 11 testers enlisted so far — looking for a few more to try and get at least 2 games going concurrently.
• Final UI tweaks landed this week. Added interactive match result screen with graphs, team comparisons and more.
• Draft phase + dedicated server infrastructure both stable in internal testing

Friday plan:

• Queue opens 20:00 CEST - Closes Sunday 24:00 CEST
• Goal is to stress-test matchmaking + draft
• All ranks welcome — I genuinely need a spread to validate Elo at the edges

Anything you'd want me to specifically test or measure on Friday — drop it below.

Hey!

As i grown to hate the matchmaking as it is and the generic coinflip the games are i decided to try and create my own solution to the problem. I call it Lenslock - a competitive website which aims to bring a more competitive vibe to Deadlock. It has Elo rating, Solo/Duo & 6stack queue, draft system, dedicated servers, live match data, tierlists & builds and much more.

In under 2 weeks on Friday, May 8th at 20:00 CEST season 0 (pilot season for alpha users) will start and i need more alpha testers. So if you are passionate about competitive gameplay in Deadlock don't hesitate to check it out.

Alpha access is aquired in discord. As per the rules in this sub i don't know if i can post the link to it.

Happy to answer anything in the comments. Screenshots below — there's still a bunch I couldn't fit so ask if you want to see more.
