Yeah, honestly kind of sick of the state of matchmaking. Sometimes you get entire teams that refuse to communicate in game and just bait you for every last thing. They don't give a fuck about anyone outside their stack and you're just treated like dirt and if you express any sort of frustration whatsoever you get dogpiled all of a sudden.

MOBAs are literally 2 different games in low elo/high elo

High ELO you are playing the game. players know what characters can do and play accordingly, you can have good games and you can interact and have sinergy BUT you have to deal with gigantic egos, streamers, one-tricks.. etc
Low ELO you are playing kindergarden simulator, you and 1 or 2 guys in the enemy team know some stuff and the game is a race to exploit the retards on their team before they exploit yours. Thats why 90% of the online discourse about MOBAs is about ''muh team etc.''

Remove her souls on assassinate kill bonus.
It fucks her entire kit and makes her a stomper or a stomping target.
She and Talon need to be pushed apart somehow, make her gun more viable so she's the sharpshooter, make Talon's kit more caster oriented so he can use owl and charged arrow.
She's just an inferior clone right now

You said "feels a bit too modern", figured the clothing was your main issue since often people think that's the not the case. Personally I hope the redesign with a full tattoo sleeve gets in because tatted Yakuza Imouto is a slam dunk. Picrel.

>>493395584
I'm liking the yokai influence, in terms of her hair. Hoping they don't give her a school uniform, though. Honestly, they should just put her in a robe/yukata. No armor, just a Japanese robe that isn't tied.

How can you tell what you're supposed to be doing and when? You can't move your camera like in top down view you can't tell what the fuck is going to happen. If you go kill creeps maybe your team fights and it was bad move. If you go fight maybe nothing happens or maybe your team loses fight because enemy was alrdy going as 6. It's all just luck in my head. You are working with so much missing information. This is like really making me appreciate rts again because you always know what the fuck is going on but this is just yeah lets press buttons yeah lets hope things work out yeah ok im winning ok now im losing yeah ok.

>You only get 350 souls per teammate, which is only a 2k soul advantage for the entire team
Legitimately seems worthless. I assume the souls scale as time goes on in the match but at that point, all it does is give the team whose pushed lanes the most and even bigger advantage

Do other mobas have holiday restricted cosmetics? They're gonna add skins so I hope the more egergious ones are exclusively for certain periods (kinda like TF2's halloween stuff).

However, since Deadlock is kinda supernatural halloween stuff wouldn't really be out of place year round, so I kinda hope they make Christmas their wacky period. So during december everyone's running around in Christmassy outfits
Reason: I love Christmas.

I've lost my guardian and died multiple times during laning phase and would only be off a couple hundred souls. You can catch up pretty quickly, especially if they ditch lane and you farm a few waves and maybe a camp or two.

Yeah, I didn't include any christianity ideas because I know no modern western dev would include christianity in a game but you could have shit like Lash as one of the 3 kings.

But I do think it would be distasteful to include religious stuff in a irreverant place like a game where people run around and kill each other. It would be nice if the in game chapel had a nativity scene during Christmas

You could also have someone be Scrooge, although that would be an awesome year round cosmetic. Pocket could literally be Scrooge's nephew (he already dresses like a victorian chap)

There's no way people are letting go of Christmas. It's pretty much the only holiday people care about in my country. It's just so kino and wholesome, it's all about giving and family. Fucking love Christmas. If you say happy holidays to me during Christmas I will correct you

Damage Taken. The least looked at stat in the game. But it tells a tale. One team has some even spread of 30k damage taken each. The other team has like 40k damage taken on 4 heroes, but they have a grey talon and a vindicta. And they're snipers bro. So they need to stay safe... so they sit outside where they would be viable targets to go on. They build no vitality items and play like absolute pussies just hunting for killing blows. And what happens? Any damage that would've been spread out amongst a team is instead directed at those 4 people. And they eat shit for it. I see it constantly. Vindicta and Grey Talon with like 10k damage taken in a long game and meanwhile the rest of their team that was performing well just ultimately loses because the focus becomes overwhelming in the late game.

if you're able to shred guardians and walkers fast take an empty lane to their base and rape their shrines and dip when they come back from a team fight

>>493415686
laning phase barely matters.
You can go 0-2 in lane lose farm and be 2k behind and you'll recover that in 5 post-10 minute denies and a neutral camp.
Team just needs to build smart items and rotate as a team over objectives like walkers and the urn. The problem comes from teammates who don't know how to position, get from place to place quickly, adhd out and just generally can't play well.
>>
>>493415686
Playing from behind is one of the trickiest parts of a game like this for sure. I would recommend either split pushing and trying to catch back up while trying to avoid fights if they ball up. If they slowly choke you out, maybe bring the numbers and go for pickoffs. They can't cover the whole map while also being ready to teamfight. The most important part is recognising that you are behind and playing accordingly, trying to mitigate losses and taking whatever opportunities are presented.
>>
>>493415686

someone needs to split push and distract or there needs to be a good pick on an opponent playing like a dumbass.

if they are just deathballing with a lead and are a better teamfight lineup you're going to continue to lose.

amount of souls increases with every urn run. runner gets +1AP.

you can use abilities/items in the beginning of picking up the urn and it provides a sprint bonus as well (mokrill dive, warden with 2+fleetfoot, haze with smoke bomb, etc) right before he picks up the urn will cross the map very quickly.

Until they make it easier to defend them, I don't agree. You can die once in lane and lose your tower even if you've been winning hard. And without tp scrolls or glyph, babysitting buildings can be tough.

Curious how everyone who talks about the game is always the only good player on their team.
>>
The game is great at it's core but it definitely needs refinement. The shooting, movement, and hero kits are very good and that by itself is enough to make the game worth playing, that is enough to make it distinct from traditional mobas, third person shooter mobas (yes, there have been a few), and even "hero shooters" like Overwatch, seriously if you put these heros into overwatch type map/game mode it would be 10x fun. The issue with the game, however, is that it is trying too hard to distinguish itself beyond the very good core and you end up with a ton of gimmicks that get in the way or at worse are just ignored. The game does not need 4 lanes and 6 heroes per team, it just doesn't. It literally adds nothing to the gameplay and it only detracts from the familiar and loved gameplay of a traditional moba.

>>493419442
traditional mobas aren't some kind of gold standard. and even if they were the market is saturated in hero shooter slop. this game needs to be LESS like traditional mobas because that market is completely cornered and entrenched

you look at streamers and what people are saying online about the game and they love how it follows the moba 'buy stuff and teamfight' pattern and doesn't have dedicated cuck roles like support. the less this game is like a 'traditional' moba the better, the audience it wants are people who were disenfranchised or bored with that model years ago.

Not really. A couple of bad ones don't invalidate it. There are still a lot to the hero shooter formula.
Imo, Gundam Evo was a really good hero shooter but the way namco handle live service and the shitty server caused the game to die. The game did away with the shitty role system and had a faster pace than overwatch while retaining similar obj type, which I like

6v6 and 4 lanes are needed because with fewer people the noob would stand out even more and his mistakes would be amplified. In 6v6 the noob can't ruin the game alone but the pro would have more people to pick off leading to better solo carry potential.

AT LEAST you can just turn your brain off and go off mechanics in overwatch with the hero's kits being good from the get-go even if simple. in deadlock you have shit like warden instead which is a complete snoozefest to play as until minute 30 when you have enough items to do anything besides running down mid with your ult

They are.
>and even if they were the market is saturated in hero shooter slop. this game needs to be LESS like traditional mobas because that market is completely cornered and entrenched
This doesn't matter. Being a moba makes it different from normal hero shooters and it's not like mobas aren't popular. If anything the game has a lot more potential to get people into the moba genre. I've already seen a few people in my friend groups who have never played a moba but picked this up.

it's fun because it's new and people are finding new shit all the time
once a meta forms and people start actually understanding the game you'll be stuck in a loop of trying to catch up or getting rolfstomped over and over again. the game WILL become a sweatfest inevitably, it is built into it's adn because it's a moba. yet you'll still log in to play one more match, not because it's fun, but because it's addictive. you'll be forever trying to catch that lighting again, never really able to fully do so.

Now that I've logged a few hours, I can definitely say this game is the worst MOBA on the market. The only thing it offers is frustration.
The tutorial both offers misinformation and lacks extremely important basic game mechanics.
The gameplay is extremely aim reliant, and good mechanical aiming skill paired with basic MOBA knowledge is enough to ensure you can crush any enemies that aren't at extremely high MMR.
The lack of choice in selecting heroes or lanes means you can get put into an unwinnable situation as soon as the queue pops, where even if your team wins the game is very unfun for you personally.
Finally, games take way too long to end. A team can have an overwhelming advantage but certain heroes are so ridiculously good on defense that they can easily stall out a game an additional ten to twenty minutes. In better games this is the majority, or in the case of HOTS, the entire game.
This isn't really surprising given many of DOTA2's pitfalls, but at least underneath that DOTA2 has a lot more to offer. Unfortunately, Deadlock seems to lack any real depth, and I'd conjecture the longevity is also extremely limited if they don't make major overhauls to base game systems.

I must agree because I feel like I'm glued to this game only because it feels fresh and new. I'm probably going to move to MechaBreak once it officially releases. Not only the matches are shorter (12 minutes), it also has aim assist and no itemization. Overall it's less stressful than this game.

Because it's more of a shooter than a moba even with the farming, last hitting, and denying. If your aim is good you can just follow preset builds and remember which item counters which heroes that's it. But if your aim sucks you're NGMI.

just play people like viscous and make your opponent be unable to play the game so that it's easier for you to play the game. midgame to late game/end you just play like a caster and disrupt/support while throwing splatters that melt opponents. you can easily handle two adjacent lanes by yourself. buy shit like phantom strike/warp stone for great gooball plays

Usually I'm like fish in the water when it comes to new MOBAs but Deadlock is a different beast. I know when to gank, when to take objectives, and when to push and teamfight. But I can't execute the things I wanted to do because I just miss every shot and whiff every active.

I usually play Kelvin, accept that I'd lose lane, try to catch up by leveling beam to max, go AWOL in the jungle for 5 minutes beaming every single camp, then try to win by abusing beam's auto bounce mechanics.

i think you're underestimating the power of global stun+damage.

plus the psychological damage of REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE missile floating around you makes you duck and cover if you're not completely retarded.

So what's up with Wraith? Never played her so I'm not the most familiar with her kit
But last game I played I was laning against her and it was the first time in ~80hours I felt literally hopeless during lane phase. Was she buffed recently? As soon as she hit lvl 4 the lane was over for me, her ult combo would just instantly delete me even at full life so I couldn't even farm (and before lvl 4 she was denying me hard already, the player was very good at harrassing me)
Any tips for laning against her? I'm often good at laning and even when I get bullied a bit I usually manage to end up with more souls than the other guy, here there was a 2k difference in like 5-6min. Laning was atrocious and since I was stomped hard midgame was quite the slog too...
>>
>>493431883

don't get hit with cards and if she pops full auto don't let her shoot you. her gun is amazing for last hitting so unless you're another amazing gun you have to bully her or melee your LH
>>
>>493431883
>ult combo

when she has ult you should never pushing her side of the lane when you hear the chains just instantly jump behind your tower

>>493431883
she was probably building all gun items, and you had no vit items (or wrong vit items). As far as the ult goes you generally see/hear it coming if she has any distance from you, so stay near tall cover and she wont get nearly as much out of it.
>>
>>493431883
She's 1v1 : the hero. Not only that, she's even great at ganking early on. Had a game where Wraith ganked my lane opponent three times with teleport and he ragequitted.

anon is right, the MOBA mechanics matter if you're able to shoot back. if you can't shoot back you're worthless and need to run aimlabs until you're at least the equivalent of like, plat or diamond in a shooter

>git gud
it doesn't matter if I can get better, what matters is unless I do the game is purely who's aim is better?
the point is that as a game you lock out all players without good aim, so a majority of the game is just inaccessible to them and that's terrible for a game that's trying to attract players

>>493432115
Yeah her last hitting was insane, and her denying too. Never knew she had such a good gun, I was playing Paradox so I had no chance on that front. Meleeing was ok at first, but once she got a couple of items and levels it was difficult to even approach creeps...

>>493432197
>>493432292
Yeah I wasn't expecting her to instantly delete me once she had ult. Does it work like Lash's immobilization? Like once you're far enough from it it doesn't affect you? I just couldn't run away from it and quickly the tower became useless in defending me.

>>493432324
Yeah well I'll be more careful next time, first time I get bullied this hard and honestly I felt like shit during the whole game. But we still managed to win and she ragequit right before the end, so it least I had that going for me

Economy strategy is also thing in CS. Besides it's not like itemization in this game is complicated or anything. It's just a set of "if" conditions (If Seven, buy Knockdown. If spirit heavy, buy Spirit Armor) that anyone can learn within one week. Aiming, on the other hand, is often trained over years or decades and largely depends on natural born talent.
>>
>>493433780
not that simple, competitive FPS games are still alive and kicking while old school RTS fizzled out. it's pretty obvious FPS is way easier for people to grasp than even a single unit RTS, hence deadlock

>>493433916
fps works because you're almost entirely comparing aim, and selling the game on that
rts failed because you're selling the game on strategy but need to have a base mechanical skill for that to be relevant
this game is being sold as a moba, but in reality it's a hero shooter until you have a certain level of shooting skill

>>493433990
see above; it's about what the game is ebing sold as
also fighting games are laughably dead; SF6 had a sub 25k max population
>>
>>493433904
>it's simple if

wrong. not all sevens are going ultbot, I have seen enough ability 3 sevens at high elo to know that. you're also discounting the fact that they can also see YOUR counter items too, so it becomes a strategy to try to out itemize them or even timing your CC to throw them off

oh god paradox gun is the WORST. why a five round burst was ever thought to be a good idea is beyond me, but i guess they needed something besides pea shooter and fully automatic aside from seven's three round burst. maybe in the future ask for a lane swap, don't get your hopes up though.

my only suggestion then would be to bully her off of lane with either the snipe (sound is scarier than the shot) or grenade spamming where she wants to stand when she tries to CS. if she has to do it from awkward positions it at least gives you the chance to get your own CS even if you can't deny her.
>>
>>493434290
I definitely oversimplified my explanation, but in the end everything's still just "if" including item counters and the counter to item counters. You can definitely teach anyone hard theory especially with written build notes and stuff. But aiming? Just aim lol. Why can't you aim? Just click heads. It's that simple! /s

The exact opposite is happening - next season will see FAR more tournaments than this one.

There are going to be like 10 tournaments with a million dollar prize pool each, 5 new tier 1 events with yet unknown prize pool (probably ~500k), Riyadh (5-15 million) and TI 2025 (unknown prize pool, depends on whether Valve will do a battle pass).

It's not the five round burst that makes it bad, it's the low velocity. Paradox will miss every contested confirm/deny even with a ping advantage.
>>
>>493434790
Maybe not to the point of aim assist (which can be good on certain hero shooters, mind you. Mecha Break is great even with aim assist) but it's possible they will make projectiles larger or make certain heroes less dependent on aim.
>>
>>493406868
I'll be honest, I think you have a LOT more control in Deadlock than you ever do in Dota. In most 1v1, or 2v1 scenarios, if you're skilled enough you can come out on top. In dota, gg ez, get fucked, especially if the enemy just happens to have more stats than you do at the moment

prefiring is easiest on shotguns/spread/burst like he said but not reliable, I also suspect there's a ~40ms visibility advantage for the person who shot it so you are always unlikely to beat them to a deny without prefiring assuming all skill level is the same

>>493435459

you don't have to guess where the orb is going to show up, what I do is pick one side (usually the left side) about 15° off normal and drag to the right. I'd say this works like 2/3 of the time and I can consistently outfarm every other hero in lane
>>
>>493435226
I've seen this exact argument far too many times and suspect Riot paid poster involvement. The pro scene will be more lively next season than at any point since 2018, which also had tons of majors.

Extra regen, Extra stamina, sprint boots. All good items, but none of them are going to save you from getting bursted down full to none. Extra regen only has 25 hp, +1 stamina is probably the better of the 3 in-lane but is still useless when you're stunned, and sprint boots are mostly for the regen (usless when getting bursted) and building into enduring speed later. Better items are Extra Health, enduring spirit, melee lifesteal, and healing rite, which all have lots of raw HP on them along with mechanics that can be played with to be more efficient.

the zoom itself is not very useful but a few characters have alt-fires. the zoom is just the default. Bebop can warm up his laser, shiv can fire a double shot, yamato and viscous have an AoE effect. new heroes will likely have them too (some already do). if they decide to add alternative weapons to heroes new alt-fires could be a possibility too.

yeah, but i think spending 500 souls on any of those items to mitigate dying once in the last 2 minutes of laning is a bit silly when you could just start the post-laning phase once they have ult (lets be real, even if you aren't 100% dead because you took extra health, you still only have 20% left at most, so you are still dead meat)

>>493434720
I think Paradox's gun is not great, but not the worst. Tried Bebop and couldn't handle its attack, there's a delay between click and shooting that is very annoying and the range is miserable especially for last hitting at a distance.
Like other anons have said, you need to prefire with Paradox and drag the mouse. Not ideal, but works against most players (at least at my level).

Just played a game and there was a Wraith in the enemy team, thankfully I wasn't laning against her but she got fed a bit early so she instantly deleted me a couple of times. Does debuff remover work against her ult? Thought about getting it, but wasn't sure it was a good idea since she didn't seem to focus me particularly anyway.

If you survive their bullshit with 50 hp, turn it around on them and kill them you get gold from the kill, 2 waves uncontested, they miss 2 waves worth of gold, and you a lot of damage on the tower or even kill it. All for a measly 500 gold which will continue to be useful to you until you need to sell it for space 20 minutes later. Seems like a worthy investment to not lose momentum early.

This hasn't been true for a long time, for better or for worse. But even if it wasn't, the actual game is still a hell of a lot more complex than CS. I'd even argue it's become too complex for its own good with all of the bullshit they keep tacking onto it.

is simply ridiculous. Perhaps the only dotalike you're familiar with is LoL, but even 10% of Dota complexity is enough to create a modem game which would be considered to have "high replayability" by the general public and the gaming press.

I left and had fond memories of the game itself until checking in on old discords for it and remembering it was full of retards who all thought they were breaking into the next big esport.

run at retards and bind them. buy active items so they cant get away. shoot them in the fucking face when they get rooted. buy burst speed items so you can ult from safety and rush to keep people in your void zone. Basically, get good with active items because thats the best way to use his kit.

i'll agree to that, but i don't think him literally turning all the way around from the direction he was faced is actually an intended effect on top of that, the abrams probably saw he was gonna get parried and spun to avoid it and then it snapshotted him turned around, making his head not just marginally harder to hit like the animation should be but damn near impossible, reducing it to a small line of pixels from the paradox's view

The negative comments regularly prevail there and there's no need to seek them out since they're already both at the very top and everywhere else in the thread. That was the point.

>>493448124
I've shown him (or you) that there is no such thing as a "best facet". One of the most popular heroes at TI sits at 45-46% winrate across 99% of the mmr spectrum and the "wrong" (not picked at TI) facet actually prevails in win rate.

Here's what this guy originally claimed

again, they buffed the shit out of solar flare and thats the only reason mirana gets picked at high level, nobody plays moonlight shadow
also you dont understand that theres a huge difference between tournament play and pubs, that alone kinda tells me you have no idea what youre talking about, some things dont work in pubs since you need to coordinate well and miranas ult, be it solar flare or moonlight shadow is one example for that and a reason her winrate is low in pubs
youre looking at it wrong

Do you even know Paradox's gun damage? Or how ammo works? I know we're on 4chan but I can't imagine being a contrarian to this extent
Also it's not out meleeing, it's trying to kill him while he's incapacitated
>>493449826
Yeah, and guess what happens if you try to shoot KC while your 5 sec reload happens? Nothing because you can't shoot and Abrams can just run away
>>
>>493449038
dude, why wont you understand that dotabuff is NOT THE RIGHT TOOL TO ANALYZE PRO PLAY
some heroes are pubstompers, some require good coordination to really shine
now guess why lycan has a better winrate IN PUBS than mirana does and but was literally NEVER PICKED OR EVEN BANNED IN TI
use your brain man

>>493449609
>you have no idea what youre talking about

>"todays dota is really just "pick strong hero together with best facet/talents/items" its not more complex than that"

Your argument is absolutely ridiculous and can be countered in literally dozens of ways. One of "strong heroes" you mentioned above ended up having a catastrophically low win rate across pubs.

And even if we assume this hero appeared in the draft of a pro team, it's never certain on which position he will be played. Mirana can be a 1 2 4 or even 5. Sniper can be 2 or 4. Timbersaw can be 2 3 or 4 and so on.

is it worth going for the melee items on him to buff up punch?

>>493451065
you do realize that you can use your 1 while reloading but not fire the KC, charging the KC doesn't mean you can use it
please post a pic of your hours

also that initial post said to just reload and use KC, so I should chase him without a gun for 4 secs? and he's gonna stay afk waiting for the KC to charge?
>>

yes you reload and press three at the same time you retarded gorilla nigga

Yes, you even saved your warpstone for just such an occasion!

>>493451278

maybe but it was a lot better when punch was 60m instead of 40m a week or so ago. splatter has 1.5x spirit scaling and gooball has 1.3x. if you're really deadset on using punch build be prepared to fuck over your teammates a bunch when

Everyone is shitting on anon, but he's right.
You can't FIRE KC while you're still reloading and that's what the original anon was saying.
>>
>>493451552
and tell me the downtime of you not having a gun is
then tell me why would abrams sit there and just watch me like a retard
>>493451580
>>493451589
so in your heads the optimal play is to parry him, teleport away, stay afk 4 seconds waiting for your gun to reload, then kill him?

also keep in mind i didn't even have KC off cooldown :) you stupid fucking niggers imagine being this bad at video games and still replying to me
>>
>still hasn't addressed the 9k unspent souls
lol cope
>>
>>493451763
it's seriously just autists that have 10 hours on this game and think they can reply, i don't think they ever used paradox in a real match or played against an abrams
>this is 4chan so i NEED to be contrarian and always in opposite to the guy i'm replying
>>
>>493451834
i think the optimal way would be not to play paradox
>>
>>493451985
if i had 2k souls what would your reply be? i was literally going to the shop if you knew what the map looks like by playing the game but there was a big blue monkey in front of it
but yeah sure a half hp abrams should win after being parried that has healbane on him
>>
>>493451834
The optimal play would be to get the stun, and then run the fuck away so you don't lose the fat pile of souls you're carrying around.
If your plan lead to a kill that'd be great but we can clearly see it didn't so better luck next time retard.
>>
>>493426794
I agree with Haze but Seven is legitimately god-tier. He's got good farm, good CC, and good damage output - he's probably the most well-,rounded character in the entire game. His ult is reactable and answerable but MUST be respected, only Black Hole is on the same level and Dynamo isn't half as good outside of it.

>>493452457
Just run straight into Seven ult while tanking the damage the entire time, cast knockdown on him from short range, and tank the damage for another 2 seconds until the stun lands. It's so easy to counter Seven.

Its over bros. People are going to start yelling as soon as you pick anything off meta. As soon as you buy on "off meta" item. Its over. Even just picking certain characters will get you yelled at(Yamato). Its over. Game is in alpha and the meta shitters are already infesting it.
>>
>>493451998
Similarly, it makes zero sense to be in combat and reload both at once (unless you're running active reload), cause that's 3-4 second of literally doing nothing in a game that takes 2 seconds to escape or 2 seconds to die.

I guess you could call it a "design issue" that KC locks out your gun, but its an empowered shot by design. You can't use your gun at all if you want the full charge and your other skills don't do shit besides your ult.
>>
>>493452770
and thank the almighty God for that
>>
>>493452873
you don't have to listen to your teammates. just play the game.

It would be interesting to make Seven's ult have a blind spot underneath him. An "Eye of the Storm" so to speak. Right now it just feels like it has no real counter besides pay the 3000 soul tax to buy a knock down and then he just buys an unstoppable that he was going to get anyway.
