Deadlock has me in an iron grip at the moment, and I owe part of that to my prior experience with Dota 2—see, back when I was a lot less happy (these things might be correlated), I sunk about 2,500 hours into that MOBA hell dimension. I regret just about every single one, but they did stick with me.

As such, I've been mightily enjoying Deadlock, because while my aim is bad and I don't have a lick of schmovement, I do have the paranoid "check the map every 10 seconds" instinct boiled into my bone marrow. Which is why its newest hero, Celeste, is giving me conniptions.

Celeste is the fifth hero released as part of the Old Gods, New Blood update. Over the course of the past month and change, players have been able to vote on the release order of five new heroes: First it was Rem, then Graves, then Silver, then Venator—leaving Celeste and Apollo to fight over second-to-last place.
