Annoyed by the bad behavior of Deadlock players? Good news, Valve has added some features to help stop annoying players from getting away with their acts.

Deadlock is still very early in development, so some players can play the game as they please without any penalty – but the latest update should put a stop to this.

Valve has a brand new shooter in the works, and if you haven’t heard of it, it’s a hero-based game, but it’s still in beta, which means Deadlock hasn’t completely ironed out all the kinks yet. However, when it came to issues like players abandoning matches for no apparent reason, there wasn’t a system in place to prevent this behavior. As part of the game’s September update, that has now changed, with some penalties being implemented in certain situations. For example, if players exhibit bad behavior or abandon games too often, they can now be placed in a secondary queue where they’re less likely to find a match.

If they want to get out of this low priority queue, they have to play a few rounds before they can get back into normal matchmaking. On top of that, players can now lose matchmaking privileges entirely, unable to voice and text chat, get suspended, or report other players for abuse. It’s important for online games to have penalties in place to stop bad-behaving players from doing things that cause other pain, as shooters aren’t always known for friendly and welcoming communities.

The latest changes also brought some major general changes, the biggest of which was the change to 24/7 matchmaking (previously it was limited to certain times). There were also some major changes to the minimap, but based on some player feedback, these were quickly reverted.

One thing Valve still needs to address is its cheating problem, but it’s still early days, so presumably that will be fixed over time.
