The LockBlaze Interactive Map Is Here

Draw, replay, plan - your battlefield command center

Today we're launching something we've been building quietly for a while: a fully interactive Deadlock map, available to every LockBlaze user starting now. Whether you want to sketch out a team rotation, replay a match at your own pace, or plan the perfect gank path, the map is your new home for tactical thinking.

What You Can Do

  • Draw & Annotate: Freehand draw routes, mark zones, drop text labels and hero icons anywhere on the map to communicate strategies visually.
  • Match Replay: Load any of your matches and watch it play back with live player positions, kill events, and objective timings - all plotted on the map in real time.
  • Route Planner: Build and save movement paths for early-game routing, mid rotations, or late-game split pushes. Share them with teammates in one click.
  • Real-time Minimap Overlay: During replay, a dynamic minimap sits in the corner with ward placements, spawn timers, and a full player tracker.

Replay Your Matches Like Never Before

The match replay tool is the highlight. Pick any game from your history, hit play, and watch every player's position animate across the map with a scrubable timeline. You can pause at any moment - the team fight that went wrong, the lane swap you didn't see coming - and annotate directly on top of it. The Game Panel on the right shows each player's items, K/D/A, net worth, and ability build at the exact timestamp you're viewing.

Build and Save Team Strategies

The strategy canvas is a blank slate. Drop your team's hero icons, draw movement arrows, add text callouts for timing or conditions, and save the whole thing as a named strategy. Load it back anytime, or hand the link to your team before a scrim. It's the kind of pre-game prep that was previously reserved for teams with a coach - now it's one click away for everyone.

Map Overlays - Show What Matters

  • Heroes: Toggle hero portrait icons on and off for cleaner viewing.
  • HP Bars: See health percentages for all players at a glance during replay.
  • Kill Lines: Visualize kill events with directional indicators between attacker and target.
  • Deaths: Highlight where each player died across the timeline.
  • Player Filter: Isolate a single player's movement and actions to study their decision-making.

Worth noting: the same replay experience is also built into the analytics page. Open any match from your history, go into the match details, and you'll find the full replay viewer right there - no need to navigate to the map separately. It's the same scrubable timeline, the same player tracker, and the same overlay controls, just embedded directly inside your match analysis workflow.

Try It Now

The Interactive Map is live at /map and available to all users - free and premium alike. Open it, load one of your matches, and see your games from a perspective you've never had before. If you want to go further, the strategy canvas and route planner are ready for your next team session.

This is just the first version. We have a lot more planned - but we wanted to put something real in your hands today. Let us know what you think.
