xQc trolled by Deadlock stream snipers abusing in-game feature Valve\/xQcDeadlock players stream sniping xQc intentionally misused one of the game\u2019s in-built features to get a rise out of the streamer. A clip uploaded to YouTube on August 30 shows xQc, deploying moments after a match\u2019s beginning, instantly having another interrupt his game using pauses. \u201cEight seconds long. Why the f**k do you queue into a game and immediately pause,\u201d he began. \u201cThat\u2019s ridic-\u201c, he continued as the match unpaused, cutting mid-sentence as someone else continued the stoppage. Following a hattrick of pauses, xQc stressed \u201cGuys, guys, actually f**king stop\u201d to no avail, as the trolling continued. For the unaware, Deadlock, like Valve\u2019s other MOBA, Dota 2, allows match participants to pause a game for every player. The pause will resolve automatically after a set period or when the initiator manually unpauses. While fans of Valve-developed titles will already be familiar with the system, it\u2019s proven to be a novel inclusion for everyone else. Unsurprisingly, Deadlock\u2019s huge popularity, even in Closed Alpha, has resulted in a prevalence of users abusing the feature, to the extent that Valve has reportedly handed out permanent hardware bans to anyone caught doing so. Given its in-development status, there\u2019s no telling if Deadlock will ultimately ship with the ability to pause remaining intact. Everything is subject to change at this early stage, and early impressions from streamers have been mixed. Following his initial hands-on, Twitch streamer Shroud stated his belief that Deadlock has the chops to dominate. Summit1G, on the other hand, wasn\u2019t convinced, believing Blizzard\u2019s Overwatch to be superior. Looking for an overview of Deadlock\u2019s current meta for an idea of which heroes are best?
