What is your background? MOBA or FPS? (aussie.zone)

Just curious what the demographic here is like. The game seems to be appealing, at least for now, to both crowds. I am an FPS player whereas my friend is a ex-MOBA player and we usually struggle to find games we can enjoy equally. So far we are playing Deadlock a lot together though, and I am more hooked than I expected to be when I first realised this was primarily a MOBA.

If you started playing this game for a different reason feel free to share as well.

FPS. I actually haven't liked a single MOBA before I tried Deadlock, I've always thought they were too punishing and needed tons of knowledge while combat was weirdly slow paced until the late game. Deadlock fixes these problems for me just by being always fun to play, and you can kind of get away with just following a popular build and shooting enemies without really understanding what you're doing.

The community build system was present in Dota 2, as well, but it's been massively improved here.

And if you want to get into it, the fact that build creators can leave notes on each category, annotate each individual item, even, means there's a way to start learning just by mousing over things and reading.
