..this game and many others, if not all the pvp games on Steam, implement some backend controls over character data. CSGO and DOTA2 were the 1st games tht this stuff became really noticeable. I call it "babysitter" mechanics preventing talented and aggressive pvp'ers from dominating in-game. In Deadlock they are fine-tuning this behavior to disguise it as normal gameplay. "every kid gets a trophy" garbage. 50/50 winrate baffoonery.
