Summit1G mocks Valve’s Deadlock as “worse than Overwatch”
Twitch streamer summit1g did not mince words about Valve’s new shooter, Deadlock, calling it “worse than Overwatch” – another game he’s not a particular fan of.
Deadlock, currently in development by Valve, has been generating quite the buzz. It’s an action game that mashes up hero shooters, MOBAs, and third-person shooters, all in a unique, BioShock Infinite-inspired aesthetic.
Despite still being in the early stages, it drew over10,000 concurrent players during testing. Some have even claimed it could giveOverwatchandDota 2a run for their money.
But not everyone is on board the Deadlock hype train.summit1g, one of Twitch’s veteran streamers, has voiced his not-so-positive outlook on Valve’s newest title.

During a recent stream, summit1g made his feelings about Deadlock painfully clear, both through words and furious grunting. “I actually hate this game… it makes me just want to play SMITE,” he vented. Much like Deadlock, SMITE is a third-person multiplayer online battle arena.
He didn’t stop there, adding, “It’s worse than Overwatch for me.” For those who know summit1g, this is saying a lot – he’s never been shy about hisdislike for Overwatch.
While Deadlock has been mostly receiving positive feedback, summit1g’s harsh critique stands out. It’s a stark contrast to the overwhelming praise the game has garnered from other streamers and players.
As Deadlock inches closer to its full release, it’s still only available to those with invites. Some streamers, likeShroud, are already calling it a potential game-changer, claiming it could “take over the world.” But for summit1g, it seems Deadlock is dead on arrival.
