Dying is the most unfun thing in this game, is Valve going to fix this?

    Every game is the same, it's gotten ridiculous. I'll be laning just fine in either Greenchur or Yellow (my two favorite colors) playing one of the reddit approved wholesome characters (Mo & Krill or Ivy with her 1 unbound). I'm shooting the enemy, hitting troopers, getting souls, what an awesome feeling. This is what DeadLock is all about.
    
    Suddenly, the enemy Mcginnis uses her turret ability right in my face and it starts blasting me. Wtf? Why is she allowed to do that? Now I'm taking 10 damage per second from a 100 hp stationary NPC that LITERALLY has aimbot! Before I can run away, suddenly a giant wall appears right behind me. I could have sworn she used it 60 seconds ago, how is it already off cooldown? Now I'm completely caught out in the open as I had already used all my stamina bars to get to a dying creep (still missed the melee).
    
    After getting relentlessly blasted by my unskilled lane opponent, I somehow manage to make it back to my guardian. I know I'm safe under its protective masculine legs because it recently got a 3% range buff. I couldn't have been more wrong, as suddenly I hear クソ死ねネズミ and my screen goes grey. Are you kidding me? How was I supposed to know Yamato was charging up an attack ability? I don't speak Japanese, she could have been wishing me a happy birthday for all I know.
    
    Anyways, now I have to sit and do nothing for 20 seconds. I'm sorry, I thought I was playing a video game. What kind of game makes you sit there and do nothing? They should really look into reworking how dying functions. I think the best solution would be allowing you to kill the enemy but prevent you and your friendlies from dying. That way everybody can kill (most fun part of the game) but no one can die (least fun part of the game).

    Dying is the best part of the game

    Dying is the best part of the game. Anyone else here over 40? These old bones can’t keep up with the young ones! I try to do the whole run and shoot thing but my arthritic fingers can’t keep up with 4 abilities and 4 actives. Us old ones sure have it rough! I remember when candy was five entire cents at the local grocer and bread was free if the clerk wasn’t looking or your mom was hot. I play abrams since hes so simple and easy, he reminds me a lot of what my dad used to do with my mom. I try to majestic mosey on down to park to kill the enemy flapper but honestly I can’t keep up with the young ones. I usually die. A lot! And its okay! I’m having a great time. Maybe 50 years ago I would’ve had ‘em. The grey screen is comforting. Reminds me how life used to be — black and white — before color was invented. Death is comforting 70 second break from the action. I use the time to have my grandson explain the items to me. Honestly? I don’t understand them. I just enjoy spending time with him. I like the magical carpet a lot. It reminds me of when I thought we’d have flying cars by the year 1950. Good times! Deadlock reminds me a lot of my childhood. Reminds me of what the ice cream man used to do to me. He walked up, smiled, then I entered the grey screen! Hah! And his name was also Kevin!
