Deadlock new midlane objective turned games into such a mid-only fiasco that it only lasted one weekend, though…
Valve is experimenting with the midlane objective in Deadlock, which was temporarily changed to encourage teamfights but resulted in a "mid-only fiasco." The new urn mechanic required melee interaction, had a depositing phase, and was always placed in the midlane, leading to a shift in gameplay focus. Following player feedback, the urn now spawns in side-lanes, though some of its mechanics have been adjusted.
