Eh, there was definitely a couple years where the market was flooded, but at this point there really aren't any notable games in the genre other than League, Dota, and Smite. Deadlock being a third person game puts it in direct competition with Smite, though it's also got more shooter DNA, which is aiming to bring in the overwatch ~~crowd~~ refugees. And at least IMO it already feels better than Smite, or any of the other abortive attempts at a third person moba over the years.
