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.

I have a pretty extensive Dota background behind me, but I quit years ago because I noticed I wasn't really having a good return in terms of fun/hour. This is really the first MOBA I've played since then - though I've kept watching Dota esports.

I played FPS multiplayer years ago (Unreal Tournament '99, TF2 and Planetside 2 primarily) but I have definitely not kept it up, sticking mostly to single player and story heavy games as I've gotten older. This is the first competitive game I've played in years, so between skill atrophy and getting older, twitch aim is definitely my number one weakness in Deadlock. I hope I'll be able to either get better at it or at least perform well enough to be good enough to feel like I can have fun playing it, as the movement and mechanics of the game are addicting as hell.
