Why is everyone so uncharacteristically friendly with this character
>>584711461FLAY ALL STEAMCHART POSTERS ALIVE
chink tumblrina FEARS the japanese yakuza boss
am i the only one who likes violet and her kit?
Surely you didn't vote for this character, right anon?
I haven't used my prio token this entire batchplease, God, let nurse be actually good
>>584711483Self insert characterARE YOU HAPPY VIOLETKEKS?? ARE YOU?
4 brush strokes, with practice you can rapid deploy this in about 10~ seconds or so
Chess Nigga and Danny are the only two characters from this update that I like. Hopefully Harrow is cool
>brooo look at her poster, she's going to have an oni monster transformation!>she'll be like Invoker, you'll mix paints and have two dozen spells!>bro she'll be so fucking cool it'll be like Grimstroke she'll paint her own minions based on enemies>I swear bro she'll be interesting she'll have multiple stances like Hwei bro just vote>she's not going to be generic Chinese American relatable garbage she'll have good writing
>BRO SHES GONNA BE LIKE A DEMON HIDING IN A GIRLS BODY! AND TRANS!>It's literally just a generic asian girl that paints and gets le highholy SHIT its never been more obvious Valve is going all in on the chinese market
ECHO SHARD AND DURATION ON THE 3 IS THE WAY
Is anyone actually attracted to these types of annoying arthoe cunts who think they're unique and only they have suffered?
Self inserted trash.
Solomon won btw
so glad we got this cringe millennial reddit quirk chungus self insert
Dotards are laughing at us...
>>584711483some faggot dev's self insert>>584711541yes, emulate picrel immediately
I hope whoever wrote this dumb bitches dialogue gets strong up from a lamp post in North Ixia
>>584711541Marvel Rivals is thataway
They're calling it the worst MOBA character of all time
When will this game not be woke?
>Danny is the only good hero of the batchIt's only getting worse from here
>>584711390I TOLD YOU /DLG/I TOLD YOU AND YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE MEthe tumblr tranny characters are all we're getting from now on.This is the last update with a non- openly fag male that will be added to the game.
>>584711573What chinese market? This bitch is a pure Asian-American insecure bpd slut, has nothing to do with actual chinkoids
So let's see here...>le therapy>everyone's nice to her even seven bows down to her>le weed>le counter culture>le tortured artist thats talented but vgh...i don't think i am...>le family issues...>le i want her to le step on me/maul me>le im soooo horny he should lose the shirt haha>le snappy comments to everyoneI bet when Doorman gets his ult line against her he's gonna go "I-I can't say anything you...you're perfect you're...you're too strong for the baronness...p-please leave d-dont hurt me"
>>584711573>chinese marketchinks want boobalicious gooner stuff, just look at the aesthetics they prefer in their games no matter if its gachaslop or their equivalent of triple Athis is some neurotic asian american boba liberal's self insert
My wife Furudo Erika would have been a better and more fitting addition to Deadlock.
>>584711591YOU CAN EVEN POP THE SHARD WHILE CHANNELING WHAT A JOKE
US ARTISTS AMIRITE?!!!
Where is her white boyfriend
>>584711659Never played that trash in my life>>584711636What picrel, you didn't post shit retard?
>Heccin epically owns seven>Only character in the game to do thatDoes she have a SINGLE interaction where she doesnt le heccin epically own anyone opposing her? Holy shit HAHAHAHA
>violets 1 lowers cd on all items with CDs like QSR, tankbuster, HeadhunterIs this not broken?
VIOLET LITERALLY KILLED THIS GAMES WRITING LMAO HOLY SHIT
>Violet voterI beg your forgiveness
Wow, they already made a comic for Violet!
>Cause if I were you I would leave New York and never look back, but that's because I worked out my shit in therapy like 2 years ago. You on the other hand, are trying to summon a god because somewhere inside you still want mommy and daddy's approval.This will be Deadlock writing in 2026
>Is that your fucking fursona? That's cringe.
how long until people stop going "why is this kit so basic/bad" to "what the fuck were they thinking giving her this"?her wall and slide alone have insane potential to do crazy shit
>the one Asian American arthoe character in the game>slums it up with a dirtbag punk druggie white boy with no aspirations in lifeWhat did Valve mean by this?
I've said it before and ill say it againErik Wolpaw is the valve you like, deadpan, somewhat dark, biting, etcJay Pinkerton is the "I teleported bread" quirk chungus stuff that still infects their writing to this day. There is currently an internal struggle at valve between which direction to go. This character, violet, is of the Jay Pinkerton variety. Yes I know neither of them worked on deadlock but I can assure you their styles are still in competition at the studio to this day, even if no one intends for them to be. The two styles never quite reconciled.
>>584711682Rejoice, now you can paint nigger on the map as much as you want
Whitebros....
REMINDER: Deadlock is yuricore
>>584711719you forgot her being a furry
>>584711592They got some crazy gorilla grip
>>584711390What does Haze mean by Asset Violet
You... like... need therapy ok?
>>584711483She's a self-insert but also extremely bland and generic. At least some people make fun of Celeste and Solomon despite one being a dev's pet and the other being a pet nigger.
>ohhhh my asian american experience is so unique!>My parents were soooo strict!>I even started doing art!
>>584711778>Only character in the game to do thatSolomon threading to use his wish to cancle out sevens
Bros...I'm scared about the writing...
>>584711823That's how they are in real life too
>/dlg/ actually voted for this
>>584711719oh oops sorry i forgot>le rent>le student debt
>>584711483Just Billy. She doesn't have interactions with the really unsavory assholes on the roster like de driwfta, vyper, and mina. Rat King calls her a retarded slaver bitch
>>584711778>Only character in the game to do thatThis is objectively untrue he has other interactions where characters call him a pathetic sewer ratCeleste I think
Her kit is literally even worse than Hero Labs characters lmao
>>584711830Black fur, white skin, Rakeesh.
We genuinely need to round up and kill all Violet voters
>>584711778There are plenty of characters who epically own Seven, retarded tourist.
>>584711572She really is just "Art Student" the character, dissapointingly enough.
>>584711830how did this character get through? this is valorant-tier writing
>>584711770It unironically is like thatWhenever you finish a full piece you feel like heaven and then after a day it goes away
Incredible how I now no longer want to play until I stop seeing her and can ban her. Genuinely I didn't consider any character badly written even the ones I dislike but this is genuinely abhorrent what the fuck went wrong.
>>584711894He doesn't even say that he just chides her.And Seven gets his balls cut out from under him
Violet pierced /dlg/'s heart!
>>584711390/dlg/ voting history check. Register your clear conscience here.
>>584711778Nah a couple of characters insult Seven back, he just happens to have the vast majority of hilarious insults in the game.
>>584711554>only character to ever mention raceokay who the fuck wrote her?
>>584711719You forgot actual lesbianShe just keeps getting worse and worse
>>584711461Was the biggest mistake of my life not becoming a streamer of this infinitely rising game. ive been playing this shit from the day it became public and people got whole careers off of it.
>I HATE MY PARENTS BECAUSE THEY FORCED ME TO PLAY A HECKIN' INSTRUMENT, I WAS ABUSED AND HAD TO GI NO CONTACT AND DO YEARS OF THERAPY TO FIX MYSELF #smokeweedeveryday>YOU UNDERSTAND ME WARDEN, WE BOTH HAD ABUSIVE PARENTS RIGHT? YOUR LIFE OF HARSH TRAINING AND DISCIPLINE TO FIGHT THE SUPERNATURAL AND MY HAVING TO PLAY PIANO ARE THE SAME
WHERE IS YOUR EPIC ASIAN WAIFU VIOLET VOTERS??
I have zero votes for Violet and will not play her
>>584711809Her kit is cool but I don't see it being balanceable, pure BM material.>>584711823All the people complaining have never seen arthoes in their lives, its accurate to a t.
>>584711483It's not that bad. Seven isn't that much of a bitch to younger characters who aren't bitches first, and she doesn't have many voicelines with full on evil characters so farI do think it's weird that she's so friendly with Danny though. There's no way miss art activist is chill with Fairfax's number 1 shill and war crime denier.
Is the hidden king a violet simp or is the herald feeding into her narcissism?
The Celeste designer made Violet. It's too obvious. I bet they made fucking Largo in Dota too.
>>584711884
I haven't had much time to play since the big update but I'm so pleased to know I'm still able to sniff out and avoid the red-flag characters.
Rat king > danny > solomon > baba >>>>>>>>>>>>>> violet
Why is the Chinese character drawing Japanese anime?
>>584711986SBI-mandated Asian woman character. Valve compromised and at least made her hot.
>>584711854This whole bit with haze asking everyone to join a super top secret organization is getting real old. It’s like someone on the dev team saw Luffy do the join my crew bit and decided to add it here. What am I saying of course that’s what happened
>want to play ranked>Know I'll get match with a deadman reddit and tumblr artist on my team
Are we being raided.
we went from>i need to find out who created me...>i grew bored with torturing people now I serve themto>ugh i really need therapy and to pay off my student debts heh she's WHITE LOL IM SOOOOOO HORNNNYYYY FOR WOMEEEENN
I hate this bitch. The writing has 100% without doubt taken a nosedive >>584711554Also is this the first and only time they've mentioned real race? No one's touched on anyone being black or white or Asian previously. Honestly fucking weird they do it now>>584710926No they had fucking insane asylums where they basically, wait, literally did lobotomies
Why does viscous sound so terrible now
>>584712026
>>584712091Violet is written by the same writers for Luna Snow so everyone has to act OOC and glaze her
>>584712091>Everyone nice to her, even Seven is amicable>Even gets dicksucked by PatronWhat the fuck is this shit man hahahaha
>>584711614THEY are not ready for this conversation
>>584712026crystal
DEADLOCK LOST BIGLY
>>584711719no takebacks btwdo you rike it???
her kit is awesome but she seems weak as FUCK. Her drawing should not consume charges of her 1. The 1 active is her only real damage. Too valuable to waste on the drawing. Her ult is also terrible. It's such a large area that people can just stay in it with no downside. And if they do run out, they take the smallest tick of damage and a short silence. Who cares about getting silenced if you're already fleeing? It should be a long stun and a huge damage hit.
holy FUARK she is just like me, I bet she would watch Rick & Morty with me while we get high and eat gummy bears
>>584712091>Even the patrons slurp her upHOLY FUCKING SHITKEKKEK
>>584712148By whom retard
>>584712074>Grow upthey're the same fucking character what does she mean?
Make a mod that remove every single voice line from her, please.
>>584712071>le parents in every lineI thought she went to theraphy why is she not over her PARENTS
>>584712026Solomon>Danny>Harrow
>>584712104I like Rat King and Danny equally since they both are the most fitting and have the best lines of the new bunch. Solomon's gameplay makes the game actively worse with more 'floor is lava' bullshit on top of a boring personality, Baba's okay but bland and OP and annoying to fight, Violet is easily one of the worst characters added to the game next to Celeste.
>>584712026democracy doesn't work
I hate asian-americans
violet has canonically seen victor's dick
>>584711573violet being some kind of supernatural being in the form of an attractive girl is exactly what china would like. this is for asian-americans
This might be the funniest fucking release hero of all time
Violets writing is clearly some tumblr self insert quirky slop but her bassy voice makes my penis hard.
So violet's a right clicker?
>>584711659she's an overtroon-like girl, though
bros... /mrg/ and /owg/ are LAUGHING at us...
I will be submitting forum feedback that her character is dogshit posthaste
>>584712286HarrowGOD..
Trannies rape yet another game.
I guess Harrow will also be aoeslop
>a worse self insert than luna snowjust delete all the new characters other than danny and release the remodels already
>>584712223>Her drawing should not consume charges of her 1her 3rd upgrade on her 1 gives her +1 cd reduction per hit, which means after just a few hits you get to spam her 1 at 0 cd
>guys violet is definitely going to have a crazy cat trust me bro>guys she is going to transform into a monster like her posterviolet fags are completely delusional and i've been saying she would suck since the announcement
>>584712223>weakYou walk around the map without any slides or wall jumps, don't you?
>>584711982all this defending for maybe the easiest hero of the update
Genuinely repulsive character. If she doesnt bother you, you're part of the problem.
>>584711830>billy>rallyBilly is the retarded wigger bashing in a window and stealing the entire ipad display from the best buy during a riot, he isn't a fucking protestor.
>>584712091The patrons blow smoke up everyone's asses
>>584712304I've been laughing nonstop since an hour ago
>>584712026a few misclicks because i was tabbed out and had to vote violet voters should be tried for fucking treason we could've all been looking at the based awesome harrow voicelines right now spending the weekend with harrow instead of spending the weekend bitching about this fuck you
>>584712319Spirit slop
>>584712026>can still vote for Harrowthis is a humiliation ritual, isn't it?
>>584712215I was an invoker main when I used to play dota and I was in fact tempted to buy the shota invoker arcana just to make people mad by asking them 'Did you enjoy my /ss/' after landing a sun strike on them.
the vote system is fake btw
>>584712235You could put a DeviantArt template on that and it would be even more fitting.
>>584712148Just /v/tard tourists, they will fuck off in a month or so give it timeThese guys can't play games beyond the most braindead gachaslop so they will move onto to the new thing to shit up.
>>584712319Yeah shes a m1gger
>>584712179>you're good. you know you are it. Accept itWHO WROTE THIS SHIT
4chan skeleton is the only new character I like.
ATTENTION:>ATTENTIONATTENTION:>ATTENTIONATTENTIONNURSE HARROW WILL BE INVOKERHER KIT MAKES HER MIX HER 1 2 3 MEDICINES AND INJECTS THEM WITH HER ULT TO PRODUCE DIFFERENT ABILITIES
Just went to the rally after smoking a bowl LOL US ARTISTS AMIRIGHT!?
honestly if she was actually a tranny i wouldn't be surprised
>MUH THERAPYAMAZINGBRAVELESBIANRADICALICON
the paint lines being thick enough to walljump off of probably makes her s tier forever
>>584712491An Asian American woman from Seattle working at Valve
>>584712352you cant because the forum option for her hasnt been added yet kek
So uhhh... who made up the whole Invoker shit and why isnt he killed yet in deadlock pvp ofcourse
>>584711541her kit seems *fine*her writers need to be fired
Do you think they'll rewrite Violet's character?
>official deadlock discord is in flames right nowHOW DOES SHE DO IT
>>584712506Bro she's a nurse. She's gonna shoot a skillshot heal like Medic's crossbow in TF2. Get over it.
>>584712295There is definitely at least 5 female devs at valve horny for victor. Every single interaction is him making all the girl self inserts cream their pants. Even Lash is mogged
>>584712148No, violet was the 5th character voted in and the playerbase barely wanted her, and now that she is out everyone is vindicated that Harrow would have been better.
>>584712576I hope so
>>584712404fucking everyone was saying she'd suck since the announcement, the only people that didn't were the ones that genuinely enjoy Overwatch or the ones that want to fuck her
Drifter raping and murdering Violet in a dark alley
>>584711541Her kit seems pretty cool I just hate her as a character
>>584712576iirc they did it for a few Dota characters
>game is being turned into aoe no effort slop spam >characters are getting worsethe game is more retarded than overwatch now even overwatch has better characters how in the fucking world did we get to this point?
>violet singlehandedly violated /dlg/ so bad the threads are going to be unusable until harrow dropsbased?
drifter is heckin' problematic
>>584712576lmao no, that would be admitting defeat against the chuds and you'll see an 80% drop in playerbase
It's funny how in a setting set in the 1950s apparently nobody is gonna comment about the black dude during a period where segregation would've existed (Although it clearly doesn't here) but the asian is still gonna talk about the white girl LMFAO
>people speculated she was a demon>just a generic asian "girlfailure" whore troonbaitFirst Valve blunder in years?
>>584711831>>5847118382meta4me
This game is genuinely full of retarded anachronisms, let's be honest. The whole thing with multiple races chilling in the 50s New York is fine, if executed right, but the Violet shit is just nonsense.>Pocket is a Calergi biracial spawn, ok>Yamato is a honorary Aryan yakuza played straight, ok>Mina is already dabbing in anachronisms, being a Korean in the 50s USA>Violet is a fucking Chinese art hoe who does DUDE WEED, draws swinger parties, fucks stinky goatmen and dogs, sells furry art, is insecure about being Asian, and has a tiger mom she complains aboutWhat the fuck. There are tons of ways of integrating niggers and gooks into your game, and they already have fitting black or black-coded characters, like Wraith and Sinclair, what the fuck are they thinking.
>both discord trannies and dlg trannies are having a meltyMmhh...
>i don't know who this is but I already know his pronounsBravo writing, Valve, you fucking hacks.
>slide animation drags her brush on the ground>doesn't even have a paint trail
We FINALLY have our main character
>>584712673She gets her face painted by doggy cum every night
i thought being a dog fucker was a white wome exclusive hobby
>>584711541no i like her as well
>someone on the writing team unironically experienced this
>>584712576god I fucking hope so
>Deadlock players (rightfully) make fun of Luna Snow for weeks>they get bitchy Luna Snow immediately afterKarma is fucking insane
New Blood was a mistake.
>>584711771right here
>>584712679Predatory how
Who are you guys gonna vote for now?
>>584711541Her kit is goodHer writing is genuinely awful
I wish grimstroke was here instead....
COOL VIOLET TECHIf you're fast enough after a parry you can draw a decent penis and dash away before the stun wears off
Kit seems cool. Still wish they went the angle of her secretly being a paint monster. Would have made her generic looks seem almost purposeful.
>>584712684Valve blunders all the time, especially in cs. People are too busy sucking gaben off to notice
Her writing is 100% Concord-tier garbage, people will only give it a pass because the game started out good but this is a grim sign.
>>584711830Billy and Victor are both white
>>584712605actually feel a bit bad for the devs here
We now have Rat King ult and Violet ult in the game now. How much more AoE slop can we add?
>>584711771What color are Billy's arms dumb dumb
I knew she would be shit the second I saw she was asian
>>584712782>why do you have cringe self insert writing, we don't do that in Deadl-ACKhttps://x.com/Loudwindow/status/2106406742540366170
>>584712832Victor is the biggest mutt to ever mutt
>>584712690ITS ALT HISTORY NIGGAThe whole point is that its unrealistic/fantasy what if.
am i misunderstanding her 1st skill or does she get to use it at 0cd after you hit an enemy 22 times?
I guarantee you Violets winrate won't be too high and people will cope that she is balanced until people realize that her drawing[1] is a shitty gimmick that should almost never be used
>parry someone>draw a dick afterNOTHING PERSONELL
actually goated with overflow, merc mag, gunslinger almost infinite ammo
>>584712742It turns out the whole universe of Deadlock was a series of interpretive paintings drawn by Violet. Just wait for that to become canon.
>Violet is quite literally a libtard art grad's self insert OC just like I said because in current year you absolutely can always judge a book by it's cover>apart from that her kit is also horribly boring dogshit just like everyone else they released this batch>fucking Grimstroke 2.0 and has worse-Danny charged autos as her 1>they do identical damage to Danny rockets but with no extra item benefits>no Split Shot>no Express Shot>not affected by Bullet Velocity at all>OBVIOUSLY unaffected by Ricochet too>it's literally just worse Danny in an ability>entire kit is just one big 'canvas' for Spellslinger as an item cause no one else makes AMAZING use of it>2 is just Grimstroke Q>I dunno what 3 is supposed to be but damn is it ever bland>ult is just some soft arena thing>2 and 3 are your only real damage till you're farmed into late game where you have Recharging Rush, Rapid Recharge and Trans CD to keep the 1 permanently on and ready>possibly THE most boring fucking thing to ever exist in this game so far but 100% expected of a literal art grad self insert OCThey need to fire whoever designed this putrid fucking thing, jesus christ. I don't even wanna try this bitch in a game, I'm just gonna go eat my pizza and go to bed. Fucking a. Even my painfully mid hero idea I posted on the forum is better than this entire last batch of heroes we got.
>open game>look at her kit>draw a dick>look at her dialogues>close gameI'll wait for Harrow.
>>584711483because valve learned the wrong lessons from being so open with fans.the writting now has no edge, it has no charisma, it doesn't have a natural back and forth anymore
>>584712576Already seeing xitter posts loving her lines so I doubt it.
>>584712650No. That literally only happened with Wraith King because they no skeletons allowed in China
>>584712818kek
you know she's a bad character when even Reddit complains about her.
>>584712894When did phones become common again or does she have rich parents
>>584712795He literally hunts down, kills and eats people. He's a literal predator in the most basic meaning of the word
>doesnt like graves, apollo and pocket>likes mina and billyWhat's her fucking problem?
Fuck I shouldn't have given any votes to harrow, I just voted out of pure habit but there's no point and she's ruined the sanctity of my sticker wall
how the fuck is this writing style still a thing? aren't we past this?
>>584712856Harrow has an AOE heal ult
>>584712818Still voting Rat King.
>>584711541Considering I don't care for any of the writing or character lore in Dota and now Deadlock, nah I like her kit and the design is fine. The blocking of waves and shit is going to be nerfed to the point its a shit ability though, like light melees will break it and/or give it HP so guns can break it
>>584712985this place is so fucking retarded man
>>584712909which hero doesnt work with these items?
>>584712782>>584712881lmao
Y'all bitter as fuck over a fun character. Grow up.
>>584712891
I feel a lot better about my completely edgy, stupid, anachronistic OC now that Violet is canon
>>584711572somehow, someway Riot (masters of the 3 hit passive abilities) made a more interesting character whose gimmick is paint
>>584712605I don't use discord post screenshots.
>>584712690>nobody had interracial relationships before the Jews invented Woke in 2010
>>584712026Solomon Danny Harrow, like a sane person and not a redditor
>>584712992Okay but is he like a pedophile or something
Bro her fucking voicelines are the WORST in the game, and I thought Viscous was bad.
>>584711541I really like her kit, but holy fuck her character is horrendous
eido and oses love her
>>584712897>1 drawing is a shitty gimmick>2 slide is a shitty gimmick>3 stat gain is a shitty gimmick>4 is just a win-more button during team fights when the enemy is already losingher kit design is interesting pure theory but in practice its unplayable. she is either going to be F tier or S tier because her numbers will need to be overtuned to hell just to see any impact.
>>584713087Alt history is purposeful bananas niggerIts the whole genre
>>584712026I was gonna do >Deadman>Harrow>BabaBut turns out it didn't matter
Reminder: Deadlock fans have been blasting every fucking slop dogshit game for having "badly designed characters" meanwhile they release this ABG basic bitch self-sert for arthoes.
>2000 voicelines and she is friends with the entire castis it like, not extremely embarrassing for valve how obvious this is
hey faggots remember this is what (You) wanted.......
>>584711483Her bio screams self insert
>>584712452Just remember: Victor was last too and he turned out to be the most fun character of his generation.Also add to the fact that Harrow, due to her being a biblically acurate angel, may come with a huge lore drop, could be the reason why Volvo rigged her to be dead last (nt the first time they have done it, I have proof they rigged the Soldier vs Demoman vote)
I dont get it, I think shes perfectly fine. Have you seen other charcters voice lines? wraith, graves, paige all have slighty cingey shit as well. Shes also a art student talking to billy, TF you dont think she does drugs?
Victor's confident enough to be a nude model?
>>584713064how many heroes can reduce cd on merc mag with 1 while she shoots? lol
This retarded ass wannabe wouldn't bother me half as much if I hadn't dealt with the real fucking deal of scum bag parents. People who come from genuinely fucked up homes don't proudly boast about it to literally every retard they meet, willing or unwilling, hoping to score sympathy while acting like an apathetic cunt. They box it up, bury it deep, and never fucking talk about it until something opens up old wounds. Tasteless faggot writers.>buh you're talking about it on 4chudbecause I'm malding
>>584712148>everyone says Violet looks bland as fuck and will suck>"nuh uh" dedicated retards refute this and insist she's got wild shit because of leaks like summoning tigers or secretly being a paint demon>she keeps getting pushed further and further back because she's clearly not anyone's first choice unless they're mentally crammed>finally 'wins' not being in last place when votes are cumulative and Harrow bandwagoners jumped on only after Danny was in>she is exactly as vapid a character as everyone expected and now everyone's shitting on herthis is quite literally the most predictable outcome, who's raiding on behalf of this reddit character
What if an asian woman wasn an artist AND had a bad relation with her PARENTS?????
why did they do this man...im so fucking pissed...maybe im overreacting but why did they just decide to add the most retarded annoying women ever making the fanbase even worse...you dont even make money from the game...what could be the reason? Im going to have to hear this awful VA awful voicelines and she's going to attract the dregs of every community
She's fun Chuds LOST
>>584712927>ucking Grimstroke 2.0Bitch wishes she was a tenth as cool as Grimstroke. They were even scared of giving her his ult.
>>584713056i mean he does have a point that she talks like someone in 2026theres no ambiguity here, shes just straight up a self insert of someone from here and now
>Hates Graves despite being Chinese Graveslmao
How do you fight for Rift when the ult is the exact size of the zone?
>>584711541If by kit you mean her right click, then okay. Everything else is terrible for the game. We don't need more giant AoE marvel rivals ults in the game.
>>584711545No, I have only voted for Danny and Harrow. Violet is actually worse than I expected, incredibly boring and just insufferable to listen to. Absolute troon bait slop.
>>584712756it is not everyone enjoys a bit of dogfucking occasionally, trust me ;)
Solomon beating the shit out of Violet for creating COVID
>>584711746>anti-occult shrieking spasticToo based for modern Valve.
>>584713263It's fake rebellion that people from well off families do (while still accepting their parent's money... which Violet literally does)
Might actually start using mods just to mute her because I like her kit I just cannot stand her any time she opens her mouth.
>She's also an illegal immigrantLMFAO I CANT DUDE
>A FUCKING SECOND GENERATION CHINESE-AMERICAN WITH PARENT ISSUESYOU CANT MAKE THIS SHIT UP I like her first two skills at least.
>"Ambitious, Nimble, Creative"Danny's kit is weirder and more creative unironically. Hell, Solomon unironically creates more shit with his kit. He's more creative literally and metaphorically as a kit.
>>584711809>her wall and slide alone have insane potential to do crazy shitamong other things low elo niggers say
>>584713316get there first and stay in the thunderdomebe a man
>>584713120I just mentioned Calergi there, didn't I?
man if only they relaxed like 30% on the quirk chungus self insert perfect girl writing she could have been unironically interesting...
>/dlg/ just melting down listening to voicelines>meanwhile everyone else is talking about her kit and playing herlmao this place is cooked
>>584713147He for sure has eaten children if that counts
What the absolute fuck am I supposed to do here as Drifter?>Me, Venator, and Violet get fed early>Celeste, Ivy, and Silver feeds their ass off to Pocket, Solomon, Paige, and Geist>Try ganking one of their players>Every time I do, the entire enemy team arrives to save the day and I'm forced to run>Complete CC city>Can't get Solomon because he's always high up in the air with Magic Carpet>We couldn't get one of their walkers>Eventually the dogshit Seven and Danny who we dominated in lane gets ahead thanks to our other 3 team mates and we get steam rolled>I'm forced to just keep waves in check and nothing else due to my team always being half dead or I cant get anyone due to the enemy come running that I'm forced to fall backLike what the fuck do I do?
>>584712091Patrons tell their fighters what they want to hear.
>>584713192>unplayableyou're straight up retarded if you think she is unplayable
>>584713343Yakub yet again doing the right thing
Why people being so toxic in comments :((( i like her.... god forbid a women does any kind of drugs
>>584713313graves is goth this bitch should be a hippie but she's not
>>584713414>just consume product then get excited for next product
>>584713291China has a lot of money. Are you joking? Obviously it's pandering to a specific market. From a business perspective it makes perfect sense.
HERE'S MY THEORY:Valve had a team of dedicated writers working on Deadlock but disbanded them after they scrapped the VNs (last VN leak was herolabs, just before the 6 hero update, which is when the writing started to decline even though I like those heroes). I once worked in a game studio and most VNs have a team of writers and a team of artists (etc), so once they gave up on doing the VNs they probably moved those writers somewhere else (other games, smaller roles, maybe they were contracted) and now the writing is just getting done by whomever, concept artists, other designers, maybe the fucking HR department.People hate to admit this but writing IS a skill just like drawing. You wouldn't get an author to do your still life, so you shouldn't get a concept artist to write your fucking dialogues. Too many people think "well, I can type and I have ideas, I can do the work a professional writer can!" and then churn out this dogshit>>584712352Kek I already did thatI recommend more people mention how the writing has gotten worse. I told them they should hire/rehire actual writers
>>584713313No, Graves is likable
Guess every new hero batch needs to have a government mandated dyke
>>584712818Matinee
I'm... violet........ I know... I can...... do this....... I just need...... a chance...... to prove myself.....
watch how the "mute violet mod" that gets made gets taken down for being "misogynistic and racist (yes now asians are poc okay?")
>dash in lobby>camera shits itself and zooms in before rapidly flashing out to the cityscapeWhat the fuck is going on do I disable mods?
>>584713291>>584713472This does NOT appeal to China. Chinese hate Asian Americans and their whiny bitchy "culture" that is based around hating their Chinese heritage and pretending to be White and dating white men.
>>584713472SHE DOESNT PANDER TO CHINASHES SPECIFICALLY ASIAN AMERICAN LIBTARD SLOP
>>584713414>lmao you care about the setting and lore of the game you're sinking hundreds of hours into, what a loser!
why all my cheats are broken AAAAA
Nurse Harrow will save Deadlock
>>584713426>your team is worse than the enemyYou're supposed to lose.
People will look back on this as the moment Deadlock died. Absolutely everything about Violet is so bad that I just can't bring myself to care about the game anymore.
>>584712136Violet was released an hour ago. How on earth could anyone have gotten 15 wins with her already?
>>584711831Usually I am on your side, but the straights can have her.
>>584713268The curse of pattern recognition
We have too many asian women characters anyway
I WANT LESS AOEI WANT LESS SELF INSERTI WANT LESS QUIRKY CHUNGUS INTERACTIONS
>>584713485>Valve had a team of dedicated writers working on Deadlock but disbanded them after they scrapped the VNsWe'll throw out your theory cause you don't know shit about how Valve operates
>>584713414The /v/edditors don't play video games are you surprised?
Is there a way to mute just Violet's voicelines?
>>584713414the kit that's not even 1% of what you niggers cried it would be?
>>584713472They aren't making money NOW is what I mean and they said the game is still FAR off from being releasedAlso wtf? This isn't going to pander to China China wants big titty women that are subservient to them not a snarky lesbian
after the last 6 heroes, did you REALLY expect anything different
>>584711541I like her kit but I do have a critique about the ult. I was kinda suckered by they yokai/demon thing too, I really think she should have had some some sort of transform ult that let her just scribble her own jailing AOE stuff for 6-7s, that would have been cooler. super charge her (1) and (2) basically.
>That fur looks god>Look at that muzzleViolet says animal and zoo rights!
>Deadlock community hates Graves>Deadlock community now hates VioletJust accept you're all faggots and hate cute women
>>584712927everyone with half a brain knew she would suck but muh asian waifu gotta win i suppose
honestly if they just put Grimstroke, voicelines and all, in with this exact same kit it would be at least tolerable
>>584713532KEEEEK
Alright that's funny
They really couldn't think of anything else for her ultimate? They have like a hundred dota characters they could steal from.
Man... People are gonna be insufferable about violet aren't they? Just super rude and mean
>>584712026Love Danny, don't care if he sucks I will play him forever because he's fun as fuck. Don't care about the rest of the characters
>>584713207>if we opened an interdimensional portal to other planes of existence in New York at the turn of the century then in 50 years we'll get Chinese art hoes talking like they come from the 21st century Seattle
>Muh therapy>Muh weed>Muh parents>Muh art>Muh activismVioletfags should genuinely be ASHAMED
>>584713609unironically she just got boosted and saved by Violet being trash, even if Harrow is mid
>>584713568You say that, but we just broke 300k. Obviously you incels are a fleeting fraction of the market compared to the people who love Violet. Accept that this is the future of the Deadlock playerbase.
>>584713659You think they don't have teams of dedicated writers or that they never disband groups internally?
>>584713263this, its all so fucking performative and fakei groan every time i have to listen to some asian girl ranting about her parents being strict, at least they care
>>584712726Pocket's finished model has a YOOGE they/them pronounce plate
>>584713738Warden and Violet bonding over their shared trauma from their over achiever parents!
>>584711831Don't even care lesbians and trannies can have her
>use up 2 charges of your 1 to be able to draw a swastikaIs it worth it?
Keep talking shit and Violet's gonna knee you in the balls
>>584711778>Only character in the game to do thatParadox knows Seven can't really do shit with their hidden identities so she can troll him with no fear in her voicebut also Scottish women > Asian women
>>584713414>talking about her kitNot Invoker, not Hwei, not a cool transformation, sorry I don't give a shit about a generic AOE spell slop kit>b-but the metatrannies are talking about how STRONG she isgo there then
>deadlock is dead because... a shitty character was addedShe IS dogshit, but let's not pretend like she's the first truly abysmally dogshit character. Paige is just her but books and white
>>584713657did freakin le lennny.... JUST HECKIN LE LENNY?!
>Russians get monkey paw'd with a dogshit sassy granny>Chinks get monkey paw'd with a dogshit libtard >Redditors get monkey paw'd with a dogshit op furry that ruins the game with aoe slop>Only Danny and Solomon are fun characters with interesting kits
>Violet>Literal Asian Millennial>Parents bad tropeHAHAHHAHAHAA
Its crazy how hard Solomon has mindbroken you.
>>584713485My huge cope right now is that they are keeping all the writing as shitty and bare as possible right now as long as they have an interesting character design and kit.and later on they will fully fix the stories (and i guess redo a lot of the voicelines??) because no way these 2 paragraph backgrounds for half of the cast are the full lore we get.
Having Wuyang's primary fire be a cooldown is a good ideaThe drawing thing is filler and impractical The slide gimmick is a fun idea The sketching thing giving you permanent stats is retarded. It should be temporary buffs and it sure as shit shouldn't be a fucking autotarget stun.The ult is retarded, pointless, filler CC slop
>>584713738whats the joke
huh
>>584713823They animated her legs wrong, too. Just to make it even worse.
>>584713856>meanwhile harrow chads dont really give a shit the dommy bitches are all secondaries btw
>>584713856>Solomon>Biggest aoe nigger in game>Fun
I voted for Violet. I do not regret it.
>>584713761Yes?Look at the internet and how it completely changed everything in a even shorter amount of time
>>584713847And I thought she was shit then. And now they've added an even more cringe paige. Getting stabbed once is bad, but getting stabbed twice is even worse
What did they call weed back then anyway
>>584712576she literally exists purely out of spite toward people who play video games, especially deadlock.No, they're not rewriting her.
>>584712576We're still in Alpha, plenty can still change.
>>584712605Proof?
I like her being a retarded vapid art hoe that is so retarded that is doing the murder ritual for popularityI don't like how other characters bend the knee for her instead of calling her out on her bullshit
>>584713738>"There's no doubt this guy has a vision and purpose."
Mods are broken
>>584712726It's genuinely overI have an impression that there are multiple dev/design groups working on this game, one of them into xir/xer shit and the other into mid century aesthetics and they don't talk to each other that much
>>584713936He might be an aoe nigger, but he's fun to play and requires some skill and positioning
>tourists who flooded the game and this thread during old gods update are in full meltdown because valve release a female character that does not fit their imaginary deadlockfunniest shit ever, based yoshi
>asian women with parents issueswoah volvo really nice character design
Deport these asian chicks away from western society, I can't bear it anymore...
>>584713918wdym huh, it blocks LOS
>>584713937Same bro
>Yellow fever faggots expected a perfect asian waifu like in their animes>Get a whiny bitchy liberal arts college woke whore who fucks dogs and goes to therapy for the HORRIBLE trauma her parents put on her(Playing piano)Accurate to real life desu
Does anyone seriously have fun playing Deadlock anymore? I've put in 600 hours and just had a match so bad (they were diving our base guardians and killing us at 25 minutes) it's seriously making me considering uninstalling.
Luna snow ahh(zoomslang for ass) character bio man.I don't want to hear a single person praise this game's """writing"""(99 conversations for each character about going to the bar btw) again.
>>584713918>Celestial Brush Technique: COCK BLOCK
>>584713721I love Yamato thoughever
mfw Violet's most interesting dialogue is about Lash
>>584713806>warden>has to train vigorously everyday no you can't have a life you must train use this gun climb that wall wake up at like 2 am to have a drill sergeant scream in your facevs>umm violet? it would be really good if you could study for that test...>UGHH YOU'RE SO STRICT YOU'RE MAKING ME PLAY AN INSTRUMENT?! YOU'RE LITERALLY A FACIST DICTATOR IM SO ABUSED! I NEED TO SMOKE THIS WEED ASAP
>>584713909She isn't really saying anything because his model is unfinished.
>>584714020hello campo santo employee
Harrowchads run this shit
>>584712026I'm a very casual player
>>584714020Paige was the first sore thumb self insert in the game and I won't let you forget it.March 2024 btw
>>584713937
(You) didn't vote for this.
Billy definitely has a type. Art-hoes.
>>584714053>Accurate to real life desuyeah that's the problem she comes across as some dev's self insert
>>584712576>rewrite 2k lines of dialogue>get backlash from the subhuman, extremely vocal, twitter mob that actually liked itlol no they ain't rewriting shit
>>584713949Marijuana or dope.
>>584714065>doesn't say immigrated with her familySo basically, she literally ran away. The lore is intriguing.
>>584713943Are you an idiot or just pretending to be one?>>584714104Paige is completely fine and fits the setting
gooner violet
>>584713985The *only* thing that could have redeemed her is if people called her on her shit, and even then barely.
>>584713867>>Literal Asian Millennialthats honestly the worse part for me. she is literally just a coastal city millennial art hoe. in a game with a very specific setting like that. at least make her like a crazy hippie or commie or something of that time period. but nope, just self insert.
>>584713765They won't be. They'll recede into a defensive position and bring up le kit everytime you hear her chink voice bring up her evil mom. Violet is a wretched step in the wrong direction.
>>584714110I got 200+ votes on her thoughever
just have to endure... deadlock will be saved... soon...
>>584714151I'd like her more if she was a full on fujoshi
>>584714110Easily one of the coolest designs this batch, this playerbase legit has no taste.
>>584714000Anon, this is just a cope. I don't mean to offend you personally, but he's literally “put pieces on the objective and everything dies.”
>he actually voted for this parody of a human beingi think you owe the rest of us an apology
>>584712576If Valve wants to endear themselves to the Chinese market they better either rewrite her or change her nationality.I remember them being upset over Mei from overwatch. This is 10 times worse.
LMAOOOO
She could be a vapid retarded art hoe as a character which would be great if she ate shit because of it and got called out, but she doesn't, it's played completely straight which makes her INSUFFERABLE
>Another AoE slop free stats teamfight ult characterYoshi, you fucking nigger. Stop doing this.
If Paige got more backlash this wouldnt have happened
>>584714053no takebacks you all voted for this
>>584714104Paige is EXACTLY the type of girl I go for so I didn't mind the least bit. Her beautiful, thick ass makes up for all her sins.
*yawn* don't mind Us Violetchads, just saving the game.
>>584714239same case as Apollo albeit
>>584714205aren't those ghosts that come off of Danny's marked targets when he shoots them?
So. Why didn't they just also add Harrow since we know who's last and the gimmick is over?
at least rem shits on her
VIOLET IS FUCKING USELESS IF YOU CANT HIT ANY OF HER 1 DO NOT PLAY HER IF YOURE A FUCKING AIMLET
>>584714053kek
I'm glad Violet is out now so I can get my disappointed out of the way and actually look forward to a better written character next tuesday.
>>584714084I'm an Asian kid, and fellow Asian kids getting assmad about having to play piano or violin has always been baffling; what culture hasn't encouraged music education for centuries?
Errmmm... Violet chunguses... weren't we supposed to have an interesting kit?
>most interesting character is last againgreat
>>584711541I like her kit and visual design. Not her personality or dialogue.
>>584714053trvkie
>>584714110Sure didn't. Skelebro from the womb to the tomb. Get rinsed by this painter bitch you will spend months seething about, Hag lover.
Violet is literally Kelvin.Her 1 is Ice WallHer 2 is Ice SlideViolet ult is functionally the same as Kelvin ultShe's just Kelvin with a different gun.
>violet's shadow is still in the hideout Talk about a low effort release
>>584714020Don't worry there's a big event coming that will make all these culture wars retards collectively kill themselvesI am so sick of these fags and their twitter screenshots/men in dresses obsession
>>584712605Reddit discord is not the official discord
>>584713721I like Paige and she's nearly as bad as both of themalso Mina and Celeste are alrightthey just all have the most dogshit writing ever attached to them
>>584714310Because it's all scripted and the characters are introduced as they're finalized.
How’s the discord reacting to Violet? I’m a chud so I won’t go in there out of the fact I’ll scream tranny every 2 picoseconds
>>584714239Anime and other tranny shit is on the mainstream these days, so of course zoomoids will pick V*olet
>>584714260IXIAN PIGGU GO HOMU
>>584714341her ult's so boring, her M2 hard carries the character
>>584714329Unironically true. way better aftertaste to finish the hero drops with a good serious character like Nurse rather than this shit.
>>584714151ok she is an actual whore human dog goat she doesn't give a fuckhonestly kinda based
>>584714132Everyone called it when she first appeared in the splash art.
>>584714367>Violet is powercrept Kelvin
>>584714402theyre literally spamming "boring dogshit update" in the official discord
My 1 deadman danny vote was a misclick
>>584714260>that dude lifts>people will look you straight in the eyes and say 'what's wrong with that? you accepted paige why not this?'could they at least have made everyone hate her? that would've been actually kinda interesting if she acted like a modern character but because people thought differently back then they all thought she was weird crazy or annoying it would be kinda funny but no of course imagine billy telling her she's a fucking weirdo for talking like that
we could have gotten a female ixian but no, we just had to get a stoner bitch with daddy issues
I'm gonna be so real with you /dlg/ literally no one else outside this general cares about lore or voicelines. Does she play well and is her kit fun? Yes. 95% of the playerbase find nothing wrong with Violet.
>>584714367dumb stupid and stinky frogposter
>>584714119He's a fucking anarchist did you guys really expect anything different
>>584714341hopefully this is enough to not see that retarded data miner posted in these threads againhe was so far off on a lot of characters but especially Violet
remember when everyone going to the bar was considered the lowest effort lore writing
>>584712295So instead of Victor being a recent creation that is anguished about his past and his maker, apparently he has been around long enough to pick up a gig doing nude modelling at the local art schoolI can FEEL the texture getting sanded out of this game in realtime to turn it into perfectly smooth consumable garbage.
>>584714020this, it's so fucking funny
>>584714509check your mouse it might have fairfax parts
What do we think about this? She can just tower dive and block everything? Even Walkers
>>584714020Xo true, xixster
>>584714341Her kit besides the ult is interesting
>>584712682Racism against niggers doesn't exist in Deadlock because everyone hates Ixians even more.
>>584714542I guess you could say we lowered the bar
>>584712186>>584712091>>584712196>>584712250Have you niggers... not even played the game?Is this just a bizarre anti deadlock raid or something?
>>584714341Sliding around and winning objectives for free is interesting. Sorry if you think it's more interesting for a character to have 28% winrate and intentionally throw the match by diving into the enemy team 18 times per game.
>>584714367Kelvin but way worse. She gains her third ability in exchange for the beam, healing, and literally everything good about Kelvin.
Literally everyone sucks her off, there isnt a single negative interaction, everyone praises her art or offers kindly advice
>>584711864nta but Solomon threatening to cancel out Seven's wish wasn't epically owning him, especially when he admits in another convo that he doesn't know the full extent of the Patron's powers and that scares him. He's basically just saying that he'd be willing to have wasted his time here if it means keeping the world safe from Seven, which is reasonable for his kind of character.
>>584714387>i'm so sick of fags>he says in a thread where majority of posters jerk off to gay fag porn of male deadlock characters
>>584713867>asians>parents badare they all just collectively getting over how their parents treated them or something because most asian-american media in like the past decade has just been this generational trauma shit
There is an awkward phase of your life when you hate everything about your childhood and wish to be someone different. Most grow out of it, but not everyone looks back on it fondly. The worst thing is to make it painfully obvious to everyone you meet.
>>584714569>secret branch playtesters
>uhmm actually she's NOT a basic bitch arthoe she's a super scary evil demon hiding in plain sight trying to understand humans through le art!!!!>releases and she's just a basic bitch arthoeLOL
>you can use her right click to block LOS for lash ultnvm change nothing about her
>>584714425Paige at least has the story of wanting to find out what happened to her brother because she loves him. Violet has no story. She's just an art ho that joins the ritual as a statement about her art.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHANOBODY LIKES HAGS
The ink blobs from Violet's 1 come out too fast to use them accurately or strategically So it's like Wuyang's primary but designed by an idiot
>>584711982did a trans person make this
>>584714510I dunno man you just seem like a fag incelIf you ever interacted with a fem art hoe then you know what valve is going forShe's just a female billyPeople were posting the conversation with graves where she has a MY PARENTS ARE WORSE THAN YOURS!!! slapfight and think you're supposed to be endeared by her
Everyone knowing everyone else is getting really fucking annoying>absolutely no friction these days>it's all about "let me give you life advice" or "insult you but in a chungus way" or "let's go to le bar"Dota only has two cunts that know everyone, Sun Wukong monke and Dark Willow, one eats shit often and the other is a dev pet slut. Deadlock just adds drivel and meaningless reddit chitchat about nothing like it's Marvel Rivals
>>584714650>some asian writer wrote this character so xey can download all the sound files and forever listen to a bunch of professional voice actors speak affirmations to xem
>>584714650Solomon is nice to all but like two people but you're right, this is that "too scared to actually say something with some bite" millennial writing infesting most modern games
>>584714053Truth NUKE
Yeah unfortunately it seems like the majority like her. All I'm seeing are posts like this + "I'm glad she won to own the racists sexists and weirdos that hated her"
>>584714650>Literally everyone sucks her off, there isnt a single negative interaction, everyone praises her art or offers kindly advicei dont know about that bro
>>584712026These last updates have been so bad in terms of characterization that I'm actually worried about what they will do to Yamato/Warden/Sinclair/Vyper/GT. This update really feels like the devs are really in pander mode

I only downloaded the game to play with the hag.
Guys, please understand. One of the devs just finished Expedition 33 last week and they just had to put her in the game.
>>584714795the patron glazes everyone when you're doing well retardhe literally says YOOOOU ARE PERFECTION HAZE
She's a minority in America. Her parents totally suck. Why do you want characters to be even meaner to her? She's got it hard enough as is.
>>584714873Bravo Yoshi
>>584714894>YamatoThere's like one character she doesn't hate
One could interpret this as Violet saying she'll be a better painter than Geist's husband was, but one could also interpret it as Violet wanting to fuck her hag ass
>>584714716It'd unironically have been better if she was a trans self insert instead of this shit
>>584714746he's essentially a married man, women love married men

>>584714795The point is that only people who've never played the game (or are literally deaf) wouldn't know how the patrons glaze everyone, because THEY DO IT ON THE BEGINNING OF EVERY FUCKING MATCH YOU RETARDED NIGGER DOG COCK LOVING FAGGOT????
Why is Apollo the only character in the game that likes his parents? And Bebop I guess.
>>584714892These posts are ironic, autist
>people trying to spin the violet hate as being misogynistic...even though a woman was added second and the votes were between two womeni think this fanbase has officially won the award for the most retarded fanbase currently yes even more retarded than the DBD fanbase
>>584714839Her 2 doesn't turn quickly enough to reliably surf if you're in the jungle. If it turned just a little faster you could slide fuckin everywhere with her.
Violet won.Luna won.Kiriko won.Asian century of excellence, chud.

>>584714756>Man's family murdered>Call him a shit dadPLEASE PLEASE PLEASE for the love of fucking god add in some lines of people hating her ass.

>>584715109It used to be taking part in a death ritual was a last resort thing, so everyone joining is broken in some way. Then Valve pivoted and now people are joining for shits and giggles.
>>584714678>oh boohoo my parents ensured I would be in a position to have a good careerThey literally are crying because even if their parents dislike who they are they still loved them enough to make sure they wouldn't end up a bum on the street or at a dead end job. It's INSANE>>584714175I wonder if all new heroes from this point on will be Valve Employees self-inserts
>>584711541Her kit is impossibly boring outside of her single ability that allows her to freely draw. The rest is impossibly generic and is nowhere near enough to make up for how absolutely shitty her character is.
>>584714151>brown people, women, and non-humans but no white guy.Most unrealistic thing about her desu
We lost.
>>584715110Go look at this post and all the replies and quotes.https://x.com/alranican/status/2111176075174916238
does she have any lines if she wanders through Chinatown?
Wheres the mod that removes Violets socks and shoes tho?
>>584715109Apollo just got a small loan of 5 million dollars from his parents.
I've accepted that I just have better taste than the average person.

>>584715126>Violet won... the second-to-last place competiton?
>>584715248I'm gay and voted for Rat King and Danny because I want to have sex with them both, I then voted Harrow
DO NOT FUCKING LANE VYPER AGAINST VIOLETI REPEAT DO NOT LANE VYPER AGAINST HERVYPERS STILL LIFE LITERALLY GIVE HER PERNA MOVESPEEDDO NOT LET VIOLET FARM THE LIZARD
>>584715248>trans lesbiansstraight men
why did they decide to give billy friends anyway
This backlash means Valve will only pump out buff and sexy male heroes from now on.
>>584712026Violet is a fucking atrocity.
it's overeido's new favourite hero
>>584715271>go look at [twitter link]No I'm not doing that
>>584712091The patrons suck everyone's dick, telling them exactly what they want to hearThis is the one violet interaction I have literally no issue with
>>584715083>HEY DO IT ON THE BEGINNING OF EVERY FUCKING MATCHNo, they don't. They usually give you some praise then emphasize that the character NEEDS the Patron to achieve their goal, they don't talk to them as equals. The only characters that get "glazed" as in not talked to as subjects are Drifter and Doorman. And now Violet out of nowhere
>>584715373her 1 is hilariously overtuned
>>584714260>Im not racist btwFUCKING KEKKK
>>584714751Marvel Rivals at least has comic books to blame.
>other laner pinging I bought enchanters emblem on pocket against 2 spirit heroes when my laner is already 0/3>someone dc'd and I can quitthanks jesus
>>584715109Infernus seems to like his folksMost characters just don't bring up their families
>>584715323violet is getting her 1 turbo reworked to remove the windmill of peace functionality and if they have any sense making the buffs she gets off 3 stronger but temporary
>>584715057I went to check and found a funny.
What if she actually looked like this. or better yet, like her first poster. and was like a come to life painting in a completely different art style. also not a basic art hoe. this shit had so much potential.
>>584715373I don't know or care who that is
>>584715018noooooo it cant be!!!!!!
>>584714791It's just safe stereotyping. Asians are fair game in American media because 1. Wars of the past2. Hate China and Japan because market competition
>new highest peak player count ever with violetchudbros.... how do we spin this in our favor??
>>584714894yamato insults almost everyone she interacts with
>>584715109The ritual went from a life or death event to something you and the boys do before going to the big game
>When all this is over, I'm going to drop the dopest painting any ritualist has ever seen!
Seeing a lot of votes for Harrow, you guys think she's in next?
>>584711891Don't forget she says this despite her backstory saying she got a full ride to college.
chart over what stats violet gets from which heroes
>>584715473That is not what Triple T looks like. Immersion ruined.
>>584714892>Violet WON guys!!!note that she was competing with another woman for the glory of 5th place after everyone else
>>584714083This is actually a pretty huge drop for Lash since it confirms he really just is playing it up
>>584715476these seem both anachronistic and also the wrong country
>>584715057it's a split
>>584714892X is mental illness central, the posts there don't really represent your average person opinion.
>>584714857>Deadlock just adds drivel and meaningless reddit chitchat about nothing like it's Marvel RivalsDiscord and Twitter love it, they get to roleplay and make tier lists about what each character eats for breakfast
>>584714387Brown
This bunch of characters is overdesigned. The previous two releases (especially the first one) were much simpler and more polished. Even Billy with all his details and effects wasn't as visually noisy. This just isn't my Deadlock
My game crashes when I pick baba
>>584715476Would be cool if instead of Asian-American art hoe, she was basically Doodlebob.
you now remember solomon
Wow, only a few retards on twitter and reddit seem to like herHow did they fuck up this bad?
>paint me like one of your french girls
>>584712090leftists and hypocrisy go together like peanut butter and jelly
Why is everyone making this a racial thing like she isn't just Paige. These aren't real people
>>584715609>Hwei copyI don't understand
>>584711982>Creative and Ambitious>The most simple and cliche character out of the whole bunch How embarrassing.
>>584715142Heck, give me a rank and file Chinese Ar--- herbal remedies forces commie.
>>584715581I think its fine to give her bonus health right?Because move speed and gun/spirit just seems like its going to be a massive problem
>>584715610>you need people like me so that you can point your fucking fingers and say that's the bad guy. so say goodnight to the bad guyIt was more interesting when Lash really was just an asshole.
>>584715109There aren't that many who mention parents. It's really just Violet, Pocket(but they love their adoptive animal parents), and Graves with shitty home livesIvy loves her adopted family, Bebop as you said, Rem loves Haze, Paige loves her family, Victor just wants to know who made him, Infernus brings them up but doesn't go into specifics beyond them coming to Earth because Ixia probably sucked.maybe Mina but I think she's too much of a brat to think of her parents as anything but a resource to use.
I miss when this site was semi-useable.

>>584715645Holy FUCK this is EVERYTHING, this is so FUCKING epic bacon, I LOVE DEADLOCK AND GUILTY GEAR!!!!!
>>584715581>Can farm move speed off like a 1/5th of the cast.Welp, SSS hero confirmed
>>584714857But she doesnt know Baba, or Danny, or most people she talks to
>>584715645Mina, Billy, and Haze are objectively the most correct.
r8 my artwork?
We need a homo thug hero tho
EscritaharrowGODS, remember that we voted out of love, unlike violetBitches, who voted out of spite toward those who rightfully called out their shit taste.
>>584715675I like him. His kit is fun and he has a cool design and a funny accent.
>>584715610Solomon already confirmed that
>>584715306
>>584714745THE DISCORD YOU ONLY GET ONE INVITE FOR INGAME YOU RETARDTHATS THE OFFICIAL ONE
>>584715701Because she genuinely fits all the stereotypes about asian-american women to the point it's obvious she's ones self insert
Harrow in 4
>>584715645>Haze not an X
The therapy lines are the last nail in the coffin proving how Reddit this character is
>>584714020>tranny tourist calling other people tourists while samefagging to cope over the fact that not even the normalfags like violetgenuinely embarrassing.
>>584715786imagine if paige released and the discourse was "why are white people like this?"
>>584715809Only if he power bottoms
>>584715701Paige might be insufferable but at least other characters besides the nicest ones just treat her like the retard she is, violet is somehow respected by everyone
Kinda blog post incomingCan we talk about how this new update completely took a fat steamy one on the lore? And made everything boring as shit?>drifter being made a joke constantly>pocket's father wasn't ACTUALLY trying to kill him>no no mina LOVES HIM>constant voicelines about lash being a persona lash is a persona hey did you know lash is pretending?>haze being way too fucking nice and there's probably more that im missing feels like this new update just took a fat shit on all the characters
>>584715787Guilty Gear was a nice touch.
>>584712026sorry harrow bros my goodwill to play brawl vanished after danny got in the game
>>584715534Hasn't every character this season gotten a new record?Won't Harrow do the exact same thing in 3 days?
They're just gonna keep catering to the twitter larp side of the fandom aren't they
>>584715807sadly canon apparently
>new character is garbage>people bitch about it>AIEEEEEEEEE WE'RE GETTING RAIDED
>>584715923Yeah, it's pretty bad. Somewhere along the line, they lost their writers and started doing memes.
Baba's and Violet's voice lines sound like self-inserts from some retarded liberal.Awful, awful stuff. At least Billy was written in a self-aware tone.
>>584715701Are you retarded?
>>584714873My hero Driftah SAID that
>>584715803bro just casually leaking the next 6 heroes to be released wtf
>>584715142>>584715731Is deadlock even marginally popular in China? There's already a clone called "Gold Rush Alliance".
>ruins your community forever
>>584715956RATO REI
>>584714569Just heavy melee it when you see her start to paint it, what?
>>584715581this basically also tells you what the "primary thing" is intended to be for some of these characters
>>584715923Billy has friends and also isnt just a poseur
>>584715731Vamp frontliner when
>>584715645I did bottom when I was little, just cover that entire fucking paper bitch
>>584715701Asian american with a perfection complex and parental issues is a trope that is increasingly common over the last decade as thta demo has aged into positions of power in the creative industry. It doesnt help that Paige has at least a actual goal in helping her brother while Violet just wants to be famous.Honestly that should be leaned into more, call her out on clout chasing. Billy should hate that shit.I dont find her the biggest crime in the world but she really isnt interesting to me as it stands. Unironically I think ratking (since harrow isnt out yet) takes the cake since he is willing to straight up murder every human in long island, tension there you can play with. Danny is also very funny and I like him.
>>584715910yeah and again, what does that have to do with the character being asian though
>>584715923Everyone clowning on Drifter is kinda funny tho. And him losing to Silver is also funny.
>>584716036that's not mina/paige and i like mina but those batch of characters were the point of no return anon
>>584715923Drifter was always a jokeLook at his interactions with IvyI'm not reading the rest, Violet is steaming dogshit but stop being a fucking retard
>>584715997Muh parents muh student debt muh therapy
>>584715923>drifter being made a joke constantlyNot really. only doorman really makes him back down, everyone else is just delusional thinking they can take him on for one reason or another while he just laughs it off>pocket's father wasn't ACTUALLY trying to kill him>no no mina LOVES HIM>constant voicelines about lash being a persona lash is a persona hey did you know lash is pretending?Yeah these suck>haze being way too fucking nice She has always been nice
>>584715896tranny or seething chink, which are you
C tier
>>584715896paige is just a nerd. there's nothing egregious about her.
>>584716036No, Mina and Paige did that. Victor ruined the community in terms of what is acceptable in gameplay (Killing Victor 3-4 times per teamfight is not fun)
>>584715994Did it even have writers? Everything was a "placeholder" to justify rewrites of every character and part of the setting. Hell Monty Fairfax looks more and more like Musk every time he shows up.
>>584715748>>584715923Lash was always a persona guys, it's MMA inspired he's just not wearing a mask. Haze is also just a pro who wouldn't care unless you're a threat.>>584716076>drifter being made a joke>pocket's father not actually trying to kill him and mina loves him (real)Yeah, those are lame as fuck.
>>584715843This line doesnt really bother me, he says similar things to graves. He recognizes talent which Violet has. Violets issue as a character is that she's amusingly very paint by numbers.
>your family died in an arson attack?>yeah my dad made me play the piano, all you FATHERS are such pigs
>>584715923Bro you're a retard outside of Mina maybe loving Pocket all of those we already knew or expectedLash especially was just kayfabe everyone pointed as early as 2024
>>584716101nigga the indian guy uses a bow and arrow deadlock has always been hilariously stereotyped
YOU VOTED FOR THIS VIOLETKEKSTHERE IS NO GOING BACKYOU VOTED FOR THE WOKE DOGFUCKER WHORE WHO GOES TO THERAPY
>Y'all
>>584716194Literally the highest on-release winrate of any character other than rat king btw, by far, every other hero started out at 25~35%She's the most broken hero besides release RK. Will be 60% after a few days
>WOKE TRANNY DEI WOKE TRANNY DEI WOKE TRANNY DEIThe internet is so awful now
>>584716121You think this is a gotcha but it only exposes you as an ignorant retard who has zero awareness of other media where this cliche has been done to death by female Asian American writers
>>584715846>only creative thing is her 1 and is limited as fuck
>>584715476I might have liked her if she was actually chinese and not some asian american retard. In fact a character like Jam (not strive jam, strive is shit) would have been way cooler than an annoying activist art hoe.
>>584715984it's the tranny way. Pretend like everyone you don't agree with is le hecking pol boogeyman.
>>584716298Violet is objectively woke
>>584716027>Gold Rush AllianceFUUUUUUUUAAAAAARRRRRKKKKKK they're mogging valve
Did I do that?D-Did I just paint with my mind??I JUST PAINTED WITH MY FREAKIN' MIND!!HAHAHAHA TAKE THAT, IMPOSTOR SYNDROME!
*dies from cringe*
Guys... I think shes really fun
>>584716365Does this guy have hot porn?
>>584715821Hell hath no fury like a Harrow fag scorned. I'm making her my main, and I'm torturing every Violet I see into stunlock oblivion.
>>584714341you now remember a data miner saying we weren't going to believe how fun violet kit was going to be
>>584715923>yam still hates everyone>still mocks everyone and spits on their graveyam is the best
>>584716136>>584716224What's wrong with Mina outside of being attractive? She's depicted as a petulant scumbag and not a quirky mary sue at all. She enjoys killing people and has a well-defined reason for joining the ritual.
>>584715923Mina's ok in a Noir heroine kind of way. Anyone could see the Lash thing from a mile away. Most of my hate is to Baba and Solomon being boring, and Violet being radioactive.
>>584713268anyone who didnt recognize the poster as a play on that seeing red slop needs a media literacy course
>>584716298yeah, those things did really ruin the internet.
I like her kit but holy fuck the only way they can redeem her writing is to have more of the cast absolutely rip into her. She's fucking atrocious. Why am I reading a 2024 Netflix 1 season sitcom character in DEADLOCK.
CHARACTERS THAT RUINED THE DEADLOCK COMMUNITY>Pocketbrought the lgbt crew and the Deltarune "don't misgender xim" people>Paigelaid the groundwork for Violet, first crime against the setting>Rembrought babyfurs>Celestebrought transbians>Violetnuked the game entirely
Why are asians like this?
>>584716101I dont even understand how "Asian American" works in this setting. I get that the Yakuza is somehow a thing in NY and ivy is some flavor of Hispanic but the only race anyone cares about are the fucking Ixians.
>>584716261>>584716246there's a big difference between>hey lash might be just a kayfabe character listen to his voicelines he talks about charityvs>WHEN IS THE PERSONA GOING TO END LASH?! THERE'S SOMETHING MORE BEHIND HIS EYES ITS A PERSONA ISNT IT ISNT IT LASH?!
>>584715645I like Apollo and Doorman
>>584716298Leftists really expect you to be ok with them taking a giant diarrhea dump everywhere.
>>584716027Yeah the chinks are genuinely just waiting for the open beta
>>584715701She even aknowledges this kek
>go check Xitter>first thing I see is Luna Snow allegations
>>584716194Oh fuck she is broken
Do you really expect Harrow to be well written after the utter fucking garbage we've gotten this patch?
>>584716451She's overpowered as fuck and genuinely obnoxious to play against, she also attracted a ton of retarded foids and cumbrains that made her winrate tank and it tricked people into thinking she wasn't OP as shit.
>>584715846Jej
>>584716484Oh yeah I know what you mean, I forgot to write that on my post.
>>584716480I didn't know she's Buddhist!
>>584716248It just gets worse holy shit
>>584716273>WOKE DOGFUCKER WHOREstop you're making me feel bad that I was voting Harrow
>>584716480It's a buddhist thing
>>584715701they are literally nothing alike other than being horny
>>584716506is this the first time race has been mentioned in deadlock?
>>584715701paige looks better and had an actual reason to be therelike shit if they wanted "artist that wants attention" why go with a boring and basic asian american
>>584716451>>584716462No anons dont get me wrong I think Mina is great her design is awesome her kit is cool and i like playing her she just attracted the dregs of internet society as well as Paige that wasn't Valve's fault thats just the internet being shit now but Violet? Violet is 100% Valve's fault
>>584712673>A homeless man just projectile vomited all over me.>My shirt and hair is going to smell like cigarettes snd vomit until I get home and take a showerUhhh based?
>>584714367>deadman danny is a different lash>violet is a different kelvinwhat did valve meant by this
>>584716248Why did she say that
>>584716506ah now it's okay to bring up race. naturally the race mentioned is "white."
>>584716531I mean, Rat King and Danny are well written, so that means Harrow probably will be too so that there is a 50/50 split of bad/mediocre characterization and great characterization.
cant wait for wardens new voice lines calling her a junkie chink
The worst part is that this character will never be nerfed because it's a dev self-insert and a skin seller.
VIOLET IS A M1GGERVIOLET IS A M1GGERVIOLET IS A M1GGER
>>584712927This. The bar is so low now with this recent batch of heroes that I feel inclined to revise my own old forum hero idea and repost it at some point. Bar is so low whoever made this last round of heroes is fucking playing Limbo with the Devil in Hell with it.
>>584713359this might be the most egregious example just based on the fact that it makes no sense for her to get financial assistance (loans) or a full ride as an illegal with no ssn
>>584716248This writing is a fucking dumpster fire
>>584716531She might be the only interesting character in the whole bunch frankly.Like if she's literally just "nurse with a funny magic syringe" then it's all fucking over. But it cant be that bad
>>584716596Ixians come up a shitton unless you specifically mean irl races
Violet's 3 is broken
>>584716576>>584716273What is this about her fucking dogs? where are you guys getting this from?
>>584712026339 votes not sure she will be next, please vote harrow
>>584716531Rat king and Danny are cool, let's hope for 3/6
>>584711787You don't deserve it.
>>584716531>open deadlock>nurse harrow is in>check dialogues>"I'm not part of the american healthcare system anymore, dear. This one is for free!"
Oh, btw, to all the people who said Violet was gonna be InvokerPHHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*wheeze*
>>584716704Yeah just like Celeste. She'll get slap on the wrist nerfs that are also bundled with a shitload of buffs.
Warden:>Violet, your artwork has moved many, including myself. If you die, I will use my wish to keep your legacy and art alive.
>>584715923>>pocket's father wasn't ACTUALLY trying to kill himSee the thing is about this is that they also implied Pocket's father had a hand in his own father's death, so Maximillian might want Pocket to eventually kill him and take over the family business for whatever reason is causing this stream of patricides
>>584715534two more weeks until deadlock dies!!!
The anachronistic shit is giving me a headache.Actually good heroes that fit the setting:>Abrams, an Ixian noir detective, perfect>Baba, a central park granny, good, would've been perfect if it was the actual Baba Yaga masking human, but fine>Celeste, a Coney Island performer, design based on real performers from the era, has a nice Nu Joisey accent, good>Danny, what if Lindy but insane and a shill, perfect>Doorman, a mid century hotel employee, perfect>Drifter, a Cajun rapist wearing Oliver Twist fit, perfect>Dynamo, a very 50s professor wearing a very 50s jacket, perfect>Infernus, a black-coded Ixian barman and a former mobster, perfect>Ivy, a Spanish Harlem gargoyle, perfect>Kelvin, a Scandinavian Pole explorer, basically Amundsen, possibly The Thing, perfect>Lady Geist, a European socialite, perfect>Lash, a sailor and a brawler with a glorious mustache, perfect>McGinnis, Rosie the Riveter, perfect>Mirage, a Persian Shah-looking guy who's an ambassador, perfect>Mo and Krill, sewer Jews wearing gangster fits, perfect>Sinclair, a mannequin wearing classic magician clothes, perfect>Venator, a Catholic priest, timeless>Victor, a Frankenstein monster, perfect>Vindicta, a 17th century ghost with an appropriate rifle and attire, perfect>Wraith, based on a 40s Harlem gangster, perfect>Harrow, a mid century nurse, the dress is even more old fashioned, perfect>Rat King, talks like an Italian American mafioso, perfectThe rest have either strange anachronistic elements (Holliday with her "tying the tubes" line), give off anachronistic vibes (Graves), have strange designs (Calico, Haze) or are just straight up modernity self-inserts (Violet). Obviously some are unfinished like Bebop, but still.
How do I report someone after a match?Faggot was aimbotting
>>584716794audibly made me laugh
>>584716829It was a ridiculous idea to begin with, no way a girlfriend character would be complex, now mercy one tricks can play paige and violet
>>584716248Imagine if Violet was ACTUALLY a vapid self absorbed art hoe and that was her personality and flawBut instead it's played completely straight and everyone just sucks her off
>>584716794Now I'm expecting Harrow to be a one note Friends of Humanity character whose only traits are being strict and racist and Solomon and Baba have epic clapbacks against her
>>584716756ixians are specifically there as a fantasy race to have the setting include more grounded racial conflicts without irl races, and they've gone and ruined that for some asian-amecican self-insert.
>>584716829That was just cope after people heard how bad her voice acting was and how boring her appearance is. Invoker has an awesome appearance and some of the best voice acting in Dota 2.>BEHOLD THE MEATBALL!!>QUAS QUAS WEX!>All the kill lines where he basically calls everyone a retard>>584716862Celeste and Wraith have pretty bad writing but nowhere near as bad as Violet.
Is she a support character or a damage dealer?
>>584716597I care not about her fucking slant eyes, I cant stand that she's so fucking boring. Hell I'll take the tranny from last year's broadway show of "The Picture of Dorian Gray". At least that was a period correct piece of literature and goes well with the spooky supernatural theme of the cursed apple.
>>584716928Bro Violet is NOT for Paige and Mercy mains.You actually need to be good at movement, aiming, use active items, and act like a carry.
>>584716167>She has always been niceno she was not, at most it was her admitting she plays cello every other line of hers the standard glowie telling people to recomsider this shit, gather information and trying to groom people to join her divisionnow its all>oh you are a mum? i know you are a mum, you are such a mum
>>584714751>anally annihilated fagkek>>584715889>2016 election tourist thinks I care about his postdon't reply to me ever again, cuck.
Violet's voice actor fucking sucks, wtfShe's using like an asmr mic
Internal reports are saying Valve lost all writing talent
>>584716761she says she's just like Paige who is a known dog slut >>584716506 and also goes on about how good silver's fur looks and admires her (dog) muzzle, she's obviously a zooGOD
Bridge :D
>>584715923Don't forget all the random shit they have with billy.Screenshotting this so I always know where it all went wrong (games not even out yet btw)
>>584715292>zero deadman danny votes>I just have better taste than the average person
nigga what happened to this games writing all of the new conversations sucks ass and does not feel like something the characters would say at all
>>584717095Why is it so hard to seeJesus Christ
>>584717034It's for MUH REPRESENTATION points so they didn't give a fuck what Asian American woman they picked up for the role
violet revived /dlg/threads haven't been this fast in a long while, kneel to your queen
>>584716987>Invoker is such an ascended gigachad that he doesn't have a SINGLE custom voiceline for any hero>because he considers them so below him he doesn't care at all to differentiate themwe can't have cool things here
>>584717095>Powercrept Kelvin ice pathincredible how boring her kit is desu
>>584717026bait is supposed to be funny or creative.
>>584717005Bit of both i guess? I played two matches of streetbrawl as her. Her 1 is her main damage dealing ability and its actually pretty strong. Her m2 is basiclaly mcginiss wall, you see someone trying to run away and you paint a barrier behind them. Her 3 is extremely good for punishing people who dive too deep into your team and her ult is teamfight-winning. She feels like a space control character.
>>584716531its 50/50
why
>>584716686Harrow is going to be the doorman of the pack. Entity that is more than they appear. Twist is likely that while the doorman is accomodating he seems much more potentially hostile and likes tormenting with his ult. Harrow will be reversed, upfront scary but at her core a positive force.
>>584717016>Good at movment>Free infinite slide 2L M A OShe'll be good in retard hands, and busted as shit in people who actually know what to do with her
>>584715923>>constant voicelines about lash being a persona lash is a persona hey did you know lash is pretending?He's Johnny Bravo, not really pretending just a narcissist
>>584717118Different writers working on the game. But it's still shameful. I expected better out of Valve. I just don't understand how Deadman Danny can be in the same batch as this boring basic bitch.
>>584717056This absolute retard is making the craziest mental gymnastics known to man just to insert his (and also mine) fetish
>powercrept Warden 2.0>powercrept Celeste 2.0>powercrept Paige 2.0>powercrept Lash 0.5>powercrept Kelvin 2.0
>>584717213Her poster hints at her possibly being an actual angel
Lenny's gonna Lenny amirite folks
>>584716414Im with you, brother
>>584717126Is your monitor on?Do you need glasses?In all seriousness it is really annoying, isn't it?
>>584717034All Asian foid VA do it now because talking like they normally do is racist or something.
What's the early verdict on Violet lads?
Looking at the replies to >>584712026 it really seems like Danny and Harrow are /ourdudes/.
we're all gonna be celebrating when nurse harrow releases just trvst the plan we're going to be going "holy shit look at this voiceline" and "holy shit look at how cool her kit is"...right?
>>584715057Looks like 70 against 30 for maybe. A lot of people are underwhelmed.
DUDEWEEDLMAO
>>584715082i cant lie i like the before more they made her too "sharp"i also like the slightly open mouth more
>>584717148They only added hero-specific responses with the shota Invoker arcana which is kinda weird.>>584717213Harrow's silhouette and visuals alone are much better than Violet, and her voice actor actually sounds like she gave a shit while recording her lines, and I really doubt she'll have a bunch of quirk chungus lines like Violet.
>>584717151It's nothing like Ice PathIce Path lets Kelvin flyViolet can slowly build bridges to places
>>584717118The new woman they hired onto the writing team
>>584717305Violets poster hinted at her being a demon I wouldn't take them seriously
>is the best deadlock character ever made>everyone hates him because he removes a character for a few seconds>meanwhile every new ultimate added is just AoE damage/defense slop
>>584717305Yeah thats what I mean. Then again posters indicated violet might be a monster and she was just a college student.
>>584717374Mid, boring, makes Deadlock worse narratively and lorewise.
>>584714020Decent bait. Have a (You).
>>584717325Don't remind me of that awful meme they're trying to forceI hope all of you are posting complaints about the writing on the forums so they can hopefully notice that no one likes this shit and fix it
>>584717325Lenny lennying all over the place is not that offensive, a bit reddit, but fine. Incomparable to Violet's whole set.>>584717482entrancemale is peak
>>584715923Outside of Drifter, pretty much was expected.People were saying that about Pocket due to his lines with Calico. Mina's one Pocket line was read by some girls as sort of a bitter ex situation. Lash has been a persona since the start, but a damn good one.And Haze has never been evil, she just looks evil.
>>584717095Nothing is out of my reach now.
>>584717482No everyone hates him because he's annoying to play against and completely uninteractive.
>>584717374Interesting kitVERY bad voicework
>>584717275KEK listen bro all I'm saying is that I (as a zoophile) also go "wooow look at that, that's some nice fur" and "omg check out that muzzle" when looking at pretty dogs ok
>>584714853>If you ever interacted with a fem art hoe then you know what valve is going fornobody likes these people in real life either
>>584717482crazy how much he mogs every single character added after 2024
>literally just blocking shit with swastikas and slursholy based character
>>584715082Before looked better, what the fuck is Valve thinking?
I've had a stressful couple of days and I was really looking forward to Harrow for a mood booster.
>>584717410I should clarify I meant that positively, doorman is fun, theres interesting things you can do with him. Same with with a actual angel. How do you write that with Venator? Or victor who has medical problems from being a corpse.

The writing going to complete garbage with recent characters kinda buried how Viscous' writing went from naive and trusting but still competent and working to stop Cthulhu, into a retard child like Rem
>>584717482>va's first ever role>kills it>great design and backstorywe can never go back...
>Violet's passion lead her to successes FAR BEYOND most of her peersScrap this fucking character and redo all her lines right fucking now man, this is some marvel superhero backstory shit.
>>584716036Anyone disagreeing with this is part of the problem. Rem is literally the most cancer addition to the game ever, every fucking rem player is some roleplaying diaper tranny who types like a "little bean" ruined the game beyond repair
is the dog shit rooted in anything concrete or is it just typical fetishists projecting?
>>584717482>>everyone hates him because he removes a character for a few secondsRIIIIIIIIGHT anyway you can thank joecuck for his reputation
>>584714853Yeah sure, but if you are gonna do that at least have the rest of the roster who aren't retards call her out for being retarded, instead of making her luna snow 2.0
>>584717675They was how popular Rem was and wanted lightning to strike twice
there was a takeover internally once the game was polished enough to be noticed by the suits, and they forced their usual bullshit like DEI writing and representation points wheels.Yoshi's original team has barely any control over the project anymore. You can even see this in the balance patches and the seeming lack of playtesting.They're heading towards full release, with cosmetics on the way so they need to pump out as many paywhale characters like violet and mina before launch, writing and gameplay are afterthoughts.
>>584717482It's crazy how this game has such era-appropriate and perfect designs with chars like Abrams, Doorman, and Danny, and then there's Solomon and Violet.
>>584717581kill yourself
>>584715082>didn't get enough votes so Valve made her look more generic
>>584714110I did. After Deadman of course, but Harrow was my second choice.
>>584717738Rem is popular because of babyfur faggots, Viscous has no appeal to them
>>584717374Her M2 is pretty cool as you can make walls and break LoSHer 2 lets her slide everywhere forever which'll be great for mobilityBut the rest of her...It's not great chief
violet needs an interaction where she epically girlbosses drifter. can't have any threatening villains in our wholesome chungus MCU game
>>584717753To be fair, Billy and Paige were in the same update. And then we got Silver.
>>584717742you have no idea how valve works lmao
>>584714853Billy works because people call him a retard anon, or have actually funny bits like the Rat King saying he can visit but can't own property.
>>584715082>removed the eye bagsNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>584717679Would have been better if she was failing, struggling artist who takes part if the Ritual to force the world to see how good she is.>tfw no hitler-adjacent waifu
>>584717694There's one anon who's obsessed with his dog fucking fetish and is legitimately mentally ill
