Here are some of my favourites I&#8217;ve found so far: <\/p>\n<p>These samples\u2014the Drifter discovering a Lovecraftian god, Mina and Pocket being the most divorced couple in NYC, Celeste bargaining for her life, and Rem being a freaky little freak\u2014are just some of the excellent conversations I&#8217;ve been flipping through since the update was released. Honestly, I&#8217;ve been digging into them for more time than I&#8217;ve been playing actual matches.<\/p>\n<p>And the new cast of five heroes is only bound to add more excellent dynamics to Deadlock&#8217;s roster\u2014I can&#8217;t, for instance, wait to see how the prolifically sassy capital punishment survivor Seven and park bench witch Baba interact, or how the &#8220;Be Not Afraid&#8221; doctor Nurse Harrow might interact with The Doorman, who could be a lovecraftian kindred spirit, for all we know. <\/p>\n<p>These are just the pre-match conversation voicelines\u2014&#8221;over 10,000 non-ping voice lines&#8221; have been added, too. It&#8217;s a tremendous amount of work added to Valve&#8217;s excellent MOBA, and I can&#8217;t wait to see the Cursed Apple&#8217;s final form\u2026 whenever that may be.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"bf2b0104-bcbf-11f1-9929-4f76b0a225d7\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/youre-hyped-for-deadlocks-new-heroes-and-map-updates-im-hyped-because-of-the-800-extra-pre-match-conversations-we-are-not-the-same.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"bf2b0104-bcbf-11f1-9929-4f76b0a225d7\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/moba\/youre-hyped-for-deadlocks-new-heroes-and-map-updates-im-hyped-because-of-the-800-extra-pre-match-conversations-we-are-not-the-same\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I kinda wish Deadlock wasn&#8217;t a MOBA\u2014not because I don&#8217;t play MOBAs, you understand.
