Bebops bombs are actually pretty tame. Gun building gets you more dps and it can't be countered by debuff cleanser
>>
>>493171520
It's funny if you do a full spirit build with echo shard but it's mostly a meme. If enemy team builds spirit resistance you won't be able to match up against them in late game
>>
>>493172482
>>493172516
so if I land enough bombs while build gun dmg I can be a double dmg threat?
>>
are people who want to keep pinhead yamato retarded?
>>
>>493172516
There's a reason why Bebop does 600 dps with his AoE hyperbeam that barely has a cooldown
>>
>>493172681
The buff is a percentage increase so it does scale with spirit. Don't expect your bombs to do more than 400 damage on a gunbuild
>>
>>493172238
clever splitpushing combined with farming neutrals in the meantime while keeping in mind that lane farm is better than neutral farm but it's more dangerous, i'm using oldschool dota reasoning in which you are supposed to keep your advantage, outspace your enemy and get into tfs for objectives when you are considerably stronger

Lady Geist is better the better your team is. Her 4 is really good it's just awkward. It's brutal when you can just 4 a Mo & Krill who went for a CC dive and that means a dead tank in a couple seconds. Toss 1000 AoE damage into the enemy team and 3s with a good mystic shot headshot can push a ton of assist damage into a pick off from any range while her 2 is an incredible "just try to 1v1 me" tool. But so many lower MMR monkey fights steal away all that utility

Just did my first game as Geist and did decent enough. Essence Bomb spirit build.
How good's a gun + lifesteal Geist build? Her ult's shit range and her slow speed made it a bit finnicky to pull off so I think offsetting the self damage via lifesteal seems like a better idea

I love this game and I think the laning phase is one of the best ever made but being honest the late game can be quite a clusterfuck and just doesn't quite reach the level of tactics and macro as Dota 2 has, it too often just feels like a back and forth until one team does a bit better in a teamfight.

They have a mismatch with this formula.
In a moba I can be clearing a jungle camp without even looking at my hero it's just an auto right click, while scrolling the map taking into account when jungles spawn and other lane activity.
But with a tps formula I'm focused on aiming 24/7 there is no "auto", i'm much more susceptible to ganks because i'm focusing on last hitting and headshotting my opponent in lane.

There's a reason deaths aren't as punishing as in other mobas, and fights are more volatile and scrambly

It's not really better than your gun though. Gun build will do (I think) more damage overall late vs. a spirit hyper beam build, and you can move + track targets faster with it

I can't wrap my head around when I should be jungling. There never seems like an opportune time except when maybe retreating from a fight.
The google doc said laning will always give more souls than jungling so they're just there mostly for show or quick clearing when traversing.

When you are rotating between lanes you grab camps on the way.
When you have shoved your lane up you grab camps near the lane.

Oh if you're implying that you can't echo shard to refresh the cooldown on lifedrain until lifedrain is over, that's not how it works for Lady Geist. If you start lifedrain and immediately echo shard it'll make your lifedrain immediately available after you're done, and you can activate your other abilities (especially 3) during the lifedrain.

For some reason that's not how echo shard works on Mo & Krill's burrow, which is super annoying for Mo, which is why I understand you might be thinking it wouldn't work.

wall CAN be useful defensively in a teamfight but its primary utility is to swap people through it
kinetic carbine is really fucking strong
swap people who are on the outskirts of the enemy team into your team and they will explode, make sure you put the wall down first and ideally start charging KC so it will be charged when the swap is done
nade is trash unless you're clearing waves/camps but you should still use it in fights for area control and extra damage

im just wondering if i build her wrong somehow or if shes just bad

>>493180610
The point is is that building spirit and utility for his 123 doesn't catch him lacking because his 4 will shit damage when bebop doesn't need all the 123 gizmos and just needs to shit out damage. There's no reason to sidegrade out his m1 for the moments he's doing 321s because the t3 and below gun stuff you'll buy anyway like warp stone will be doing plenty with the built in amplifiers it has.

A fundamental problem with 3D mobas is that they ignore why ordinary mobas are successful.
Ordinary mobas work because we are able to look outside inwards to a 2D space. We can see the whole map, we can past walls, we can see exactly where to move our character and where enemies are.
You CANNOT do this in a 3D space. You CANNOT look past the walls in front of you. You are constantly bumbling and stumbling into walls or backwards into walls and you will continue to do so.
Maybe fourth dimensional beings can enjoy this game, but NOT me. Thus I uninstall.

Okay, hitboxes are most certainly fucked, I see the bullet trail going through the minion but not dealing damage, other times I know I've missed and still land a hit somehow.

One thing I'm failing to understand in this game is how people are able to run you down so easily. I blow 3-4 stamina charges, a movement item and ability, and they're still right on my ass gunning me down. I can never see how because I'm always faced away trying to run. But it constantly happens even if they're not a mobile hero.

How do you lane as pocket? I feel like once I'm out of lane I'm fine but I always lose lane and just have to be a pussy last hitting and can never be aggressive and go for kills. I seem to lose trades with almost everyone because shotguns have bad distance and if I commit to going all in with the cloak I have no way out so I kill or die.

This game is literally all about wave management. the best thing you can do is kill troopers and "crash" them into the enemy towers. This denies the enemy souls and deals damage to their tower. Keep on an eye on the map, and where your enemy is. If there are no enemies near you, or you see them in other places, you can push the tower with the wave as well.

But if you don't see people on the map, take a step back and try to get the neutral camps on their side of the map. These are the chevrons on the map. If you take their neutral camps, they lose out on farm.

Also, at 10 minutes, and every 5 minutes after, a soul urn spawns on the map. Get that soul urn and deliver it. It gives your team 25% more souls.

These are all ways you can create an advantage over your opponent after laning phase.

She's not bad, she's a split pushing duelist. Literally do not fight. Push waves. Never stop pushing waves. Soon you get strong enough that you can just walk over to towers and kill them without any troopers. Repeat until you win.

Yamato can destroy ADC in 1v1 throughout the mid game and still be a threat to them in the late. She also chase like a mother fucker and easily get the finisher on retreating opponents. I don't think she's top tier but she has potential to be good, especially once people know what to do in the mid game more when she is the strongest, such as roaming and disrupting enemy's jungle farming attemprlt. Since she is difficult to play, only a few people commit to playing her so it's hard to make good judgement on her.

just choose like the second most popular build from the 'browse build' button (the first is always shit, usually just the first custom build that was ever made) and follow that.

Focus mostly on killing creeps and getting souls, don't get baited into fighting every possible fight. If you see 3 of your mates in a lane and some other red enemy icons hovering around them, just go and fight with them. That's basically it. Look at the mini map A LOT.

she has no actual kill potential before getting levels or farm so you pressure her hard and deny her farm as best you can

>>493199483
wallrun would be cool but idk how to tie it into the current stamina system
also feels like it should probably not be available to every character, like mcginnis should definitely not have it

>>493199603
Abuse wall bug
[Spoiler]superior duration makes the wall and silence hit twice[/spoiler]
Build tanky
Only grab mystic shot as early additional burst and berserker

Grab return fire and metal skin
Early healing nova

And never stop broooooling
Later grab crippling headshot, and that one who reduces phys resistance after spirit damage.

Alchemic fire is good

Shes very versatile but trust me playing sniper is not it you are going yo get outcarried by everything in the game

>>493199902
>yea, should be a unique character mechanic
not what i mean, it should be available to a bunch of characters (paradox, lash, talon) but not all of them (vindicta, mcginnis, viscous)
would be a cool way to add some character variance to mobility

>>
>>493199892
thanks anon i'll try some of this
the build i've been using (which i based my own build off of) is carbine-centric and i tend to do well picking off people who are retreating while low after a fight but you're right that i've got no shot in hell of carrying even when fed
i had no idea about the wall bug, but what else does duration do? does it increase the time you can hold KC charge? i've been thinking AOE is valuable because it makes grenade better at clearing waves
>>
Paradox just needs a fucking real stun on her ult and she will be perfect
>>
>>493200196
She already has a semi stun into a stun that silences and swaps position what the fuck else do you paradox niggers need, she's such an amazing hero
>>
>>493200192
There is in fact build where you go radius maxx and have huge grenades ans very long swaps, im personally not a big fan, its too easy to get out of the grenade for enemy team usually.

I have been playing it recently as super tanky in your face char and doi g good, sometimes even 1v3 fights due to how obscene walls are.

Metal skin + return fire is cracked because you swap yourself in, and enemy team tries to focus fire you and they get fucked up, hazes/wraiths sometime deleting themselves.

Return fire also lifesteals with bullets.

With all that being said paradox is still a chad tbat you have to play youe fucking mind out to get good results, while enemy haze can press one button and delete your entire team who cant react to that in time.

trying to come up with a weapon for a character design but i can't pin point if this is the 20's that has technology accelerated to around the 50's with all the occult shit, or it's more closer toward the current 40's - 50's gap.

Ah, and don't forget the bow indian. Your enemy just has to be "smart" enough to put traps in some places you would use to hide and he will stomp you on lane every single time by just spamming skills.

The popular builds don't give her enough survivability to do anything unless you snowball. She's pretty good at split pushing because of her mobility but she's definitely hard to play.

Hes a bullshit unbalanced hero. Its an undeniable fact that one grey talon player has to just spam skills to win the lane, no exception.

viewcount? I'm being honest when I say I love the movement but it is definitely missing some spice. I think wallrun could be a 500 vitality item if they're afraid of the mechanic being too powerful. that way players have to give up an important bullet/spirit resist slot for the privilege

vindicta ult has very low coldown, she can poke you with that shit once she gets it. Grey talon on the other hand, can poke you to hell and back with his fan shaped AoE bullshit flying skill, has a powershot that hurts like hell and a really good attack speed. Also, it should be obvious, but don't try to trade with them early if you have a shotgun hero, they will just fly away and poke you for half your hp.

>>493202606
Hook is a better paradox swap
When built for bomb he deals 1000 aoe damage burst in large aoe, and when he decides to press his ult its another 1500damage in 2 seconds

When built for gun, for whatever reason, he deals like trillion of dps, and is insanely hard to take down.
And now they made him even more braindead that you cant hook allies by accident (something paradox ult cant do either, even if you wanted to)

Maybe i should stop larping as a paradox main and just start farming mmr as bebop

Shes REAL good for 1v1 situations and to put enemy out of position, but you wont carry 5 of your retards kicking and screaming through finish lane

play extremely aggressive with grenade and play close to the wall on lane. you win poke for the first 15 minutes with every hero besides talon. the only 500s you need are mystic burst, sprint boots and extra stamina. basically just play like an aggressive asshole and you zone out everyone
>>
Paradox IS good when you can make enemy walk through wallz especially when you bug exploit.

But if enemy team has more than 3 braincells to not walk into a wall, or make campfires in your grenades, paradox basically becomes a walking (shitty) gun , that can sometimes put you really badly out of position right into enemy team

I don't even play much Geist. 2/25 might as well have been AFK. 3/17, 6/19. Even 12/23 is bad. This was ROUGH from start to finish. Pretty sure the vindicta was AFK at the start so the greytalon abandoned orange immediately so we lost the walker in less than 3 minutes

if you want to streamlined the getting good process you should 'main' a character so you expend mental energy on the macro (decision making) and micro (last hitting, movement, etc.) instead of figuring out how to best use a character.
you never have to play every character--however you should watch tutorials on them to know their basic gameplan, goals, ideal items, etc. that comes way later though. the nature of your question leads me to believe you've never seriously competed in a game before

And now that my mmr is truly niggerish, I'm making sure I lose 50% of the time (like the game wants me to anyway) except I'm the only tryhard of the game with a brain, it's super fun to get 30kills a match consistently with any character lol
>>
>>493211604
Make uneven fights
Get 2 of your teammates and run at people.
If enemy team shows up with greater numbers, slam ult and divide the fight to get guaranteed kills
>>
>>493211723
You arent learning anything like this and only padding your ego, you will be stomped into a ground by player who plays consistently against player on own (higher than yours) level

Stomps are not fun for that reason

Quick reminder on laning, focus your bullets solely on these, in order:
>Denies
>last hits only
>harassment
Naturally, specially at low mmr where people shoot creeps for no reason, the lane is going to get pushed on your side making it super easy to do those things (denying etc)
after 5 minutes, especially in solo lanes, you should have double the souls of your lane opponent.
In early mmr (early 20-30ish games you'll play) newbies are going to lose patience get out of position, that's where you should switch to being super aggressive, securing the kill (like in this webm)
>>
holy shit i hate laning with mouth breathers. is there any way to get solo lane?

>>493212529

All ult seven players are scrubs. Seven in high level play is built around his 3 and flash farming like a traditional timing semi-carry.

>>493213491
This happens a lot, people tunneling on either shooting creeps (but not securing orbs) or harassing players.
The whole laning phase hinges around securing orbs.
With carries, getting last hits/friendly orbs/enemy orbs can jumpstart you big time. The first 10 minutes can net you a lot of Souls.

I think that build is the best except one detail. I think without Fleet Foot the shoes are a waste, she takes SUCH a huge movement hit when she's firing. So either take Fleet Foot(requires another slot, but perks) or just get Superior Stamina instead of enduring sprint and spam dashes.

Yamato kit is genuinely nonsensical, she's insanely squishy and has no cc, while her ult stuns herself for like a second something so people can just...run away.
And then she basically has no 3.
And then she's also the buggiest hero in the game.

Not really sleeper. She's generally regarded as a good character. Many players rate her over haze as an ADC due to better consistency.

step 1: debuff reducer
step 2: hold F after he shoulder charges you, free parry.
step 3: dump kit on his face while clearing your back
step 4: hold S-shift, spacebar. aka backwards dashjump, while throwing more on his face
step 5: finish him off.

How do I play Abrams without getting owned by parries? Even if I don't charge it they all just throw out parry whenever I get close. I want to build around the shotgun but it seems a bit trash compared to the rifles in this game. I guess he's just a noob stomper?

Aggregate win rates mean literally nothing either are true:

The sites use data from lowest ranks so they're basically irrelevant, it's gonna be insanely lop sided towards the newfag mmr where seven dominates and vindicta/paradox are useless.

what did they change about knockdown

LASH

MUST

DIE

>>493218863
It's faster but the stun is way smaller, basically a band aid attempt at nerfing grey/vindicta.
>>
>>493218852
eh i think seven is god tier regardless of mmr and paradox and vindicta are bad regardless as well.
that said haze is better than seven imo. but seven is the second best probably.
>>
>>493218925
Suck it you junk monkey.
>>
>>493219002
>seven is god tier regardless of mmr and paradox and vindicta are bad
That sentence alone tells me you have absolutely no idea how top mmr games go or play.
Pretty much every top game is just vindicta/dynamo/haze/shiv/kelvin destroying everything and everyone.
>>
>>493218742

they always heavy melee afterwards until you teach them not to
>>
>>493219095
ah ok i am mistaken then. what about paradox?
>>
ctrl or c for crouch?
>>
>>493219330
Paradox is nowhere near as braindead as the others so she's pretty much a specialist character.
>>
I really don't care for seven. His kit is boring and he's not really that fun except for his ult. His 2 seems weird and doesn't synergize at all, and his 1/3 both end up just being used to farm fast.

He has to get ahead with farm or he is useless at any decent mmr. At lower mmr he just has to exist and ult.
>>
>>493219632
you stun them and then drop a deathball on them right before they get stunned while magdumping them with your 3
>>
>>493219330
Paradox is character for the people who want to blow out the enemy team without facerolling and following a guide.
>>
>>493219632
His ult is the most boring part of his kit. It's just a channeling AoE massacre that exists in every MOBA ever.
>>
they need to release 20 more heroes OR gut seven
one of the two
otherwise he will never stop being in every single game
>>
are they ever going to add hot girls
>>
>>493219330
paradox is average, if you are good with her you can do a lot but if youre bad and your strategy doesnt work you will be deadweight

a lot of paradoxes dont adapt to the game, I think she's probably the most flexible building hero in the game
>>
>>493220004
>OR gut seven
Nigga he's not even that strong, the influx of players (and said players obsession with an inaccurate le heckin stat site) has inflated his worth. He was like 60% pickrate among the spectate games against Haze and Dynamo's near 100%.

He's a noob slayer and the scrambled mmr system has you new niggers not realizing he's actually pretty mid compared to some of the bigger issues.

>>
>>493220349
people say this not realizing every person who has started the game has done a 180 on their tune about the zap fag after a week of playing against him. His popularity surged as the playerbase surged and it's something all too predictable to people who have more than 16 hours logged. He filters every single new player until their monkey neurons decide to learn how to not die to his dumb shit and then he's a room-temperature threat.
>>
>>493220179
That's why the alternative is adding 20 more heroes.
I'm so sick of seeing Seven in every single game but unless they gut him the only way to stop it is to add more heroes so there are more options.
>>
>>493220115
they already added paradox

yeah im kinda in agreement here but at the same time, seven players are the biggest retards imaginable. he's still a decent threat. he's just not on the level of some of the others, especially haze. seven is still quite good.

yeah do them all
>>
>>493221393
have you heard of knockdown?
>>
>>493220664
By the time you can cancel his ult (by wasting your souls on an item which sole function is to stop Seven) he would have snowballed even harder especially when his base kit is already good. Not to mention late game he can refresh his ult, but your Knockdown has 2s delay and 45s cooldown.
>>

You can just shoot Seven. He dies. It's the pussy noobs who can't just blow his head off that make his ult work.

Seven is the classic case of "you can deal with him in a vacuum so technically he's not that good". A classic trope in MOBAs, but ultimately the characters are still extremely overpowered because proper communication, teamwork, building, etc. has to go into stopping him. Rarely will that happen, even at higher MMRs. Meanwhile all Seven players have to do is press R and they take complete control of a fight, have to be immediately dealt with, or they just win.
>>
>>493221934
People talk about banning picks to prevent the opponent team from choosing op heroes, I want to ban heroes to avoid sharing lanes with them.

He's "good" in the sense that he kills people who are on their second game ever very easily, yeah. You don't understand how many times this argument has been had in the last ~year. This nigger is mid and you are new and have predecessors who have become me.

>>493221393
The one single use for him. Solved by a single item purchased by a single teammate (if he is on offense) or by a single 15 second delay (if he is on defense). I have yet to see this win a game on its own after some 500 hours, outside of bottom mmr where clicking 4 on an enemy team deathball is free farm.
>>
>>493222134
It's one thing to be farming creeps so they don't go to waste. It's another to spend the ENTIRE game farming, never join a team fight, never be around to defend base, and never even take objectives even though you're alone for the entire game.

I was constantly clearing waves and only fighting to defend objectives or if we had an advantage, it was the other players who were neglecting farm to brawl. I do think some of my friends don't understand the fact that the game does not become a hero shooter at the 10-minute mark, though. I'm not very good at the game, but I am almost always the top soul value player with decent PvP / objective contribution. I'm just tired of being the top soul value player and feeling like I have to carry / herd cats. I can't remember the last time I got a hard carry in a match.
>>
>>493222262
Farm means nothing unless you eventually do something with it. If you are the most fed player on the team, you should be the one pushing objectives because you can risk a 2v1 or even win them. And you either need to join team fights or actively discourage your team from fighting without you (even as simple as telling them not to take fights without you unless they have to).
>>
Active itemization counter is a bad mechanic. Healbane is fine because it's a passive item, but having to silence/hex specific people during specific time from specific position is bad design. It's anti-fun, and the reason why League of Legends has been so much more popular than DOTA 2.
>>
>>493222830
I'm glad you aren't designing this game.
>>
>>493222830
I just don't like how every late game match turns into one giant, leaning tower of active items >>493221954
>>
>>493222830
skill issue
>>
>>493222830
I disagree. League's itemization is cookie cutter as fuck, and doesn't give near enough customization for specific interactions and skill expression. Item builds are just one problem in league, runes are another. New kits are another. They've removed so much skill out of the game it is legitimately disgusting. DOTA on the other hand, your skill expression is everywhere. Itemization, reactions and knowing when and how to use them, last hitting is harder, turn rates, denying, so many more ways to be better than your opponent.
>>
Seven will obviously get nerfed again. They can balance around pro level play in the future when there are people playing at the pro level. Right now they have to balance around the game that actually exists today.

There's no denying that DOTA 2 is much more skill intensive than League, but that is also the cause of DOTA 2's downfall. 15 years later League is still culturally relevant and spawned countless spin-offs, enjoyed by casual and tryhards alike. Meanwhile DOTA 2 is only for sweaty tryhards who has to learn every item and skill interaction for 100 hours before they can play against people. The keyword is accessibility : DOTA 2 is unforgiving and not accessible to the average player. And before you come at me, I have 5,4k hours in it so I know what I'm talking about.
>>
>>493223881
Dotas downfall was because valve doesn't market jack shit, they straight up killed the game in the west with retarded changes, chink pandering and the refusal to block peruvians from playing on NA servers.

Nah you're absolutely right in that sense. But I'm glad they never went the league route. Dota 2 is a much, much better game than league nowadays. I much prefer to play that to league even after ~5k hours in league and like 200 or so in dota 2.

You need an interrupt. Silence is for locking people down before you nuke them, not for cucking channels.
>>
>>493224003
DOTA 2 anime was a big marketing ploy and look where it got them. League also went really hard on chink pandering (Seraphine even sang in Mandarin in a k-pop song) and it was fine.
Point is, when newbies who wanted to try your game are required to learn every item and skill interaction for 100+ hours, they just get filtered.
>>493224019
I would argue that learning skill interactions, aiming, last-hitting/denying, map rotations, jungle management are skill-based enough. There's absolutely no need to overcomplicate things with active itemization and learning how they interact with skills etc. As they keep adding more and more items, the game will be overwhelming for new players.
>>
>>493224275
unfortunately the nature of not being top down. i am getting more and more used to it, however.
>>
>>493223881
Nudota still rakes in 400k+ active players. It's almost dead in NA, but this is not entirely due to the game's lack of accessibility,
>>
>>493223881
League is objectively a more skill intensive game, that's what makes it so snowball-y. Basically every hero in that game has a skill shot or some sort of aimed spell. Inherent to dota's DNA is the ability to do random comebacks from catching someone stepping slightly out their safety zone with targeted stuns lasting three seconds.

League is only easier in terms of people already having moba mechanics down and immediately understanding what each hero does (cause most of them are the same) while dota is just a knowledge check.
>>
>>493224419

ARE WE PLAYING DOTA, RETARD?
>>
>>493224419
I don't see why you're worried. This game is much simpler than DOTA. It doesn't have the same issue in the sense that you just insta die without knowing wtf happened and you're CC locked forever. All it takes is understanding that Curse/Knockdown can stop seven ult and you'll always know that interaction. It's way easier to be filtered in dota.

>Point is, when newbies who wanted to try your game are required to learn every item and skill interaction for 100+ hours, they just get filtered.
For me it was long game time + knowing that I'm a burden to my team.
I have no problem throwing my head against the wall in Tekken because I don't have to deal with teammates.

thinking of asking yoshi to port bazz from concord to deadlock as a guest character what do you guys think

League is way less skill intensive than DOTA and it's not even fucking close. Idk why people think skill shots and lots of button presses make a game more skill intensive. Turn rates, CSing and itemization in DOTA make the game way more skill intensive than anything there is in league.
>>
>>493224701
literally all of those things are just knowledge checks lol
>>
>>493224478
Skill shots are a meme. Positioning and spacing are more skill intensive than aiming because you have to actually make decisions in the moment and not just react with your muscle memory.
>>
>>493224419
It's been proven time and time again that people are not so averse to steep learning curves. People say Dota is dying in the West because it's newbie-unfriendly, but this is literal redditor cope from apes who refuse to acknowledge the game's actual issues: the community (99% people who would be making the world a better place if they neckroped), the terrible matchmaking, and the unfun and head-aching direction the game has been going in since 2017.

I've heard about this before, but no details. Can you elaborate?
>>
>>493222502
nigga he still does fuck tons of damage with his ult without even investing fully into it, you can just go orb and lightning bullets build while still forcing people to have an answer to your ult

it's the most broken shit in the game and he doesnt even have to rely on it he can just hold it, if you ever use knock down or just simply die then he can use his ult freely

it's really way more broken than you think in the hands of a good player, just because counters exist doesnt mean playing around it is easy if they have a brain, you can also just cast bkb lol so suck my balls
>>
>>493224792
I have no idea how turn rate would constitute as a knowledge check but I assume you're trolling at this point anyway.
>>
>>493224968
tl;dr: version 7.00 dropped, was an absolute disaster. Game has since had its uniqueness and variety gradually stripped out in order to make the game more "streamlined" like League, either to appease idiots or to make the game more fun to watch for esports.
There's a reason Deadlock is full of current and former dotards: it feels more like Dota than actual Dota.
>>
BAKE NOW
>>
>>493225316
>it feels more like Dota than actual Dota.
That's funny. As an outsider who could never climb over the learning curve of Dota, I thought Dota players would be more upset about all the stuff that's been streamlined for Deadlock. We don't even have wards.
>>
This league vs dota argument just reminds me that the consensus in this shitter general is that the ability to aim in Deadlock does not matter
>>
>>493224878
All of those related to the game itself, no? The community is toxic because the game requires tryharding for 50 minutes and when your effort fails the team would fall apart faster than house of cards. In my experience more casual MOBAs (Honor of Kings for example) are far less toxic because people just lose within 15 minutes and move on to the next game without complaining in chat. But in DOTA 2 you're required to pour your heart and soul into every game and still lose, hence the naturally-generated toxicity.
>>493224606
There are 30 active items each with its own use and unique interactions with skills, not to mention the vague tooltip means people would have to test items themselves. For example Majestic Leap distance was never stated in-game. What qualifies as bullets in Metal Skin? Is Return Fire pure damage, weapon damage, or spirit damage? Those things are overwhelming for newbies. When they have to learn about stuff before jumping in games (or risk a bad losing streak after being flamed by the whole team all day) it makes them not want to continue.
>>
>>493225513
Tracking matters but twitch reflexes don't.
>>
>>493225443
It's streamlined, but justifiably so. What makes (made?) Dota more nuanced wouldn't work in a shootan game, especially complex heroes like Invoker.
>>493225519
>But in DOTA 2 you're required to pour your heart and soul into every game and still lose, hence the naturally-generated toxicity.
Wrong. Turbo games end fast, yet somehow that queue is even more toxic than ranked.
Dota players are just cunts, frankly. There's no way around it. I've spent a pathetic amount of time playing this game and I can say it just attracts losers.
>>
>>493225519
The thing is you can literally ignore actives for the most part and still have fun and play the game. You'll be in pisslow but you CAN still do it. In DOTA if you don't build properly you're just gonna get raped and have 0 fun.

And then if you even know extremely basic stuff that can carry you in deadlock. You don't NEED the in depth understanding of the itemization like you absolutely do in dota.
>>
>>493225560
disagree, getting the headshot on a wraith or haze makes them explode and they immediately freak out trying to disengage. de-emphasized, sure.
>>
I'm glad lowskill zoomers are seething about icefrog's design choices. I'm glad they made a dota 2 shooter. Get filtered league trash.
>>
>>493225873
Headshots will likely always matter but they matter way less than some other shooters.
>>
>>493225792
>especially complex heroes like Invoker.
Why do you say Invoker wouldn't work?
>>
>>493224968
They added random lootbox items that pop out of the jungle creeps' asses so you have to farm jungle and pray for the OP item or the item that synergizes with your hero. It was the most retarded thing they ever did and it is still in the game as a core mechanic all these years later.
>>
Movement matters most, then aim, then map awareness, then map knowledge, then item and character knowledge, then moba map mindset, then communication, then laning performance.

This is official.
>>
>>493225792
dotas playerbase is way better than leagues
at least the faggots who flame still try to win
they don't passive aggressive try to throw the game because you told them they're an idiot for a poor gank/eengage
(before you argue im sure they do, it's just way less prevalent from my personal experience)
>>
>>493226107
Why is it still in when the general consensus shits all over it? I don't understand the logic, honestly. Does it help force noobs to farm the jungle or something?
>>
>>493226107
What the fuck
>>
>>493226109
this is why yoshi needs to add wall running, deadlock needs a touch of higher autism for the movement. it wouldn't turn the game into gunZ, it'd just give most characters a better option vs vertical leapers (lash) and better options vs gun carries
>>
>>493226002
It's a fundamentally different kind of game. You technically could make some kind of Invoker analogue in Deadlock but it would be a nightmare to actually play him with TPS controls.
>>493226129
Yeah, sure, but is being better than lolbabs really an achievement?
>>
>>493226350
>Yeah, sure, but is being better than lolbabs really an achievement?
Well when those are basically the only 2 real choices of MOBAs yeah kinda I guess
>>
>>493226223
They probably think randomness helps shitty players feel good some percentage of the time, and unpredictable rewards like that are notoriously addictive. I understand why a video game would do that to lure in gambling addicts, but it was such a bad idea to add to one of the most competitive video games of all time, and I think it's one of the big reasons why the competitive scene in Dota is in such a terrible state that no one even realizes TI is happening this year.
>>
i have just discovered veil walker and this is completely absurd with the double shields from 1250 tier
>>
>>493226223
Just STFU and keep sucking Icefrog's dick. Don't question anything.
>>
>>493226350
>but it would be a nightmare to actually play him with TPS controls.
I guess I just don't know Invoker well enough, but I don't see why that would be the case. Nine the Phantom in BBCF is an Invoker-style character in a fighting game and she's notoriously easy to play.
>>
>>493224968
The anon above talking about a reduction of variety has no idea what he's talking about, but I'm not going to bother writing paragraphs explaining why.

>a guy who thinks current Dota is extremely good and played Dota 1

>>493226107
There's a selection from 5 items of each tier now out of around 11 and the original iteration of neutral totems has been heavily nerfed.
>>
>>493226576
>neutral items
>>
does bullet velocity affect any skills, or just your default fire?
>>
>>493226563
invoker in deadlock would have to rely on an entirely different mechanic to operate. dota invoker relies on making up combos with QWER, it would be incredibly awkward with the WASD 1234 deadlock setup.
>>
>>493226676
It was changing some skills by accident, maybe they didn't fix all of them?
>>
>>493226690
I guess he might need some custom keybinds as I could see the default binds being an issue.
>>
>>493226457
Dota had 400k twitch viewers yesterday on the first day of the group stage.
>>
>>493226676
grey talon jump but thats more of a modifier to your normal attacks
>>
>>493226129
>those who flame try to win
that hasnt been the case for a while, plenty of people straight up queue just to lose

it was such a problem they had to make "role tokens" not give 4 if they lost, and only 2 on a loss because people would just tank the one loss to lose faster so they could play carry. Mainly peruvians doing this because they have no social contract over there
>>
>>493226503
We're still in the honeymoon phase right now. Once people discover they can gank with Veilwalker and ruin the enemy team's jungle the meta will turn messy.
>>
What if they made deadlock require a controller and gave it extremely generous aim assist? Would that make things better or worse?
>>
>>493226852
Why would you even suggest that
>>
>>493226852
I'm fine with it, but it wouldn't be Deadlock anymore wouldn't it?
I playtested Mecha Break (it has aim assist) and had a really fun time, though.
>>
>>493226576
>it's a little less random now so it's okay that your item build is partially determined by RNG
I don't know what the current item pool is and I don't care anymore, but I played DotA for years where Drow's viability as a character was determined by her team's ability to randomly drop a +150 attack range bow. Fuck neutral items.
>>
>>493226852
a fuck ton worse are you serious
no one wants aim assist
>>
PAGE 10 ALERT
PROTECT ME AT ALL COSTS
>>
>>493226852
Will never ever happen, since it would heavily dilute competitive integrity. It would be even worse than league players paying money to unlock heroes and powerups.
>>
I think I am in MMR solo queue hell where the game will put me with 3-4+ teammates who will lose lane by half of the soul and feed 0/5 or worse every game. Then of course that is impossible and we get ran over in 20 min or less.
>>
>>493227098
>>493227098
>>493227098
>>
>>493226852
Worse. Playing a shooter with a controller is cancer anyway.
>>
>>493226976
When you have half of the tier's items avaliable, it's not "a little" less random.
>>
>>493227142
>half
You mean it's a 50/50 chance now? A probably that could be simulated by flipping a coin?
>>
>>493226852
controller consistently ruins twitchy ADHD games because it takes out the twitchy part of it
>>
>>493156929
Honestly I find stacking 3000/4500 items usually better than rushing a 6300
This game favours full slots because of a lot of % based increases to stats
That said, I think Siphon Bullets and Echo Shard are ridiculous and probably worth rushing
>>
>>493220301
tony except he's a midget mobster who keeps growing bizzer
