Deadlock's upcoming hero Astro, is a sign that players need to start learning better movement habits

Robot character bebop .

Valve may have finally confirmed Deadlock's existence, but that doesn't mean that it's in a finished state. The MOBA shooter is currently in a closed beta (which is invite-only), so there are still plenty of changes to be made and features to be added, one of which is a new hero, Astro. 

Astro is more of a DPS, but this cowboy has a couple of interesting abilities. The first one lets you place an exploding barrel, which can either be shot or launched toward enemies, but it'll do more damage the closer enemies are. The second and third abilities involve dropping a bounce pad that'll deal damage to enemies when they land, and throwing your cowboy hat to damage, slow, or reveal enemies. But the final ability is probably the coolest and one that I can see becoming an absolute pain in the ass—a lasso that can capture and drag an enemy behind you.
