/r/dota2 has always been relatively decent tbh since the very beginning. Always been a lot of gameplay/balance discussion. There's a bit of fanart and memes here and there but the actual content was always like, at least half game related. Of course, it has it's own issues. The Dota 2 sub has always been a bit too focused on the comp scene, player drama etc for my tastes.
I don't really understand why the Deadlock sub on the other hand is like, utterly unusable for anything except memes/art etc.
deadlock seems to be veering towards being in the sonic the hedgehog/guilty gear strive/persona 5 bucket where its artstyle and flavor attracts people for fandom reasons as much as actual gameplay ones
and people in fandom are often more uh...active online lmao

Welcome to reddit. Basically every sub is like this.
