Deadlock is the next big thingI imagine that Riot and Blizzard are already thinking about making their own 3D MOBAs
>>720846234>32 characters>5 attractive women
mobas are the opposite of fun
>>720846421None of the characters are finished and almost half of them are due for a complete redesign.
I can't stop spamming drifter. Once he "clicked" on what his playstyle is, I usually get the most object damage by running down rats that try to push side lanes during team fights.
This game will have a temporary month or couple of month spike and then die
>>720846234>Deadlock is the next big thingThey ruined best girl, fuck them
which game will EOS first, this or 2xko
>>720846234>Deadlock is the next big thing
>>720846234I doubt itIt'll have a stable playerbase but it'll never reach LoL or Dota levels of popularityTakes way too much effort to play optimally in this game compared to something like League or Dota Not to even mention all the fucking buttons you need to juggle, this is why you dont make mobas with verticality
>>720846234Blizzard already did that with overwatch, it's called collosseum mode, or something. Same thing, items, skills, minus creeps
>>720847230that was released after deadlock
>>720846421Now that Mina has been the most played character despite having a 44% winrate or some shit you can bet they'll be making the remaining female cast sexier
>>720846694I hope you meant Geist (Even tho she's better now) ain't no way you are pining for this
>>720846234>90% of the playerbase hacksLOL
>>720846779Deadlock right now has a higher peak than 2XKO will ever have
>>720846234This shit took so long it got its cake eaten by Rivals and by the time it comes out the hero shooter will die again
>>720847530Its funny because deadlock is also technically still a closed beta just with generous invites
Drifter makes me too stressed, I hate tempo feast or famine heroesIf I don't get an easy start and start snowballing he sucks so hard to play from behind
>>720846854The problem isn't the verticality, just simply there are too many buttons as you say.
>>720847372yes I know... read OP again
>>720847680Just get some cheap melee and attack speed items and you can start clearing through camps and trooper waves easily. Not as fast as Seven or Infernus mind you, but still fast.
>>720847762The point of Drifter is farming heroes for his meme infinite scaling though, if I wanted to retreat to jungle and only emerge to split push or get a pickoff on ult CD I'd be playing Haze.
>>720847923Oh I'm not saying do that forever, it's so that you can get back to a good standing if you are behind so you can pick off THEIR Haze while she's farming.
>>720846234Deadlock is infinitely too hard and complex to ever become the next big thing lolLook at every single "big" game, they're all easy stuff you can just pick up with the budsIt's why League is more popular than Dota, because it's a casualized version of it at the skill floorAnd Deadlock is even more complex than Dota
>>720846421Wraith isn’t terrible looking now that she has a face
It's never going to explode if they keep bloating the roster instead of working on the ASSFAGGOTSless modes
>>720847715Except your now dividing you attention across the mini-map, the surrounding rooftops, the lane creeps and the enemy heroes your laning against and whatever retarded pings your party is doingIt all fucking contributes to the problem
>>720847465Of course I am pining for that, fag.
>>720847465pixz u up & drops you into enemy walker
>>720848019People heavily overestimate soul differences in the early game. You get so much income from not wandering around purposeless and just keeping a lane pushed and managing some neutral camps, that any soul difference before 15 mins is basically irrelevant.I've had so many games where I had a bad matchup or whiffed my lane and lost guardian, only for them to leave lane and fail at ganking the others while I outearned them by staying on the lane and pushing.
also i cant find a single good bind scheme for this dogshit because you need too many binds to spec skills and self/special cast shit and be able to melee and melee cancel nonstop to fucking to basic movements
>>720848451>I've had so many games where I had a bad matchup or whiffed my lane and lost guardian, only for them to leave lane and fail at ganking the others while I outearned them by staying on the lane and pushing.People in this game have such bad macro it's honestly funny. Blue lane is always brawl central while the sidelanes are for the real winners. I've even had games where I've taken out guardians and walkers on side lanes only for a Paige to spam ping me for not being there for team fights.
>>720848583I'm playing on the default scheme and it feels fine
>>720846234I hope it’s not the next big thing. I watched some gameplay and it doesn’t really look fun at all. Maybe if I ever had interest in mobasBut the game is apparently just running around killing baby mode enemies and looking for destructibles with the occasional pvp that’s typically one sided depending on who gets the jump/who has abilities Also looks like the kind of game where you can be losing but it still takes a minute to end
>>720848590Yeah I win almost all my games as Ivy by just being the lane janny and getting 15k+ farm up on people before I show up to the broooools and delete everyone
>>720846234there's something about the charactes (at least most of them) that makes them look gay as fuck, and I believe it's more than >>720848245is there any artfag that can explain the reason why
>>720848681>I watched some gameplay
>>720848794its because you can smell the furry designers personal fetishization of the character, and has essentially already made his own rule 34 of bara niggergarbage before you even got your hands on the modelits the modern DND artstyle just slightly less stupid lookingits "sex" coded even though the game has no sex in it
>>720846234This ASSFAGGOTSSHOOTER genre is probably the most retarded of them all. I can't think of a more niche idea, honestly. Even a Street Fighter × Forza hybrid would make more sense.
>ASSFAGGOTS>ASSFAGGOTS>ASSFAGGOTSThe most popular video game genre for over 10 years now by the way
>>720849225this guys food sucks bro
>>720849225Also oversaturated as fuck and the market is pretty much dominated by LoL so who the fuck thought making another one was a good idea? And one where you also have to be good at aiming, no less. Deadlock's gonna be a cult game at best
>>720846421you're right, there should be less women
Still waiting on those neutral camp updates. Hopefully the mono-eye aliens stick around for some of them.
They're putting much dota shit into it, it doesnt need turrets or neutral camps, thats just goofy on a shooter
>>720846421Theres more to video games than gooning saar
>>720849832I dunno, I like the guardians and walkers, gives objective freaks like me something to do instead of endless team fights on singular points.
>>720848976>its because you can smell the furry designers personal fetishization of the character,>take a look at the faggot in op's image again>long nails>fangs>perfect beard, 5 o'clock shade my ass>hair is scruffy but not unkempt>it could be a vampire but it's presented to be buff and scruffy rather than thin and posh so maybe it's a werewolf?>the clothes are just torn apart, they're not actually dirt which is in direct contrast with him being a drifter>that hat not even that >overall it should be a scary, ugly character but the way he's drawn and colored is clean>in line with the furries being antropomorphic animals but always drawn styllized and shinyFuck, I think you're right.
I wish Deadlock let you manually choose the server. Ruskies are the worst thing about this game.
>>720846234Concord 2.0, let's goooo
>>720846854Being difficult to master is what makes a game actually fun thoughbeit
>>720849581>pretty much dominated by LoLI don't believe it, at least I can't be 100% sure.Riot is extremely secretive about the popularity statistics of their games. No, monthly active users is not a good indicator.
>>720850031every man must have gay hair and perfect facial skin like some tasting history looking gay youtuber
>>720850049Poles and Balts are just as bad so it's good that you play on the same servers as Russians
>>720849581LoL is losing way more players than it is gaining. ten years ago it had plenty of fresh blood, now it's just the same kids from ten years ago
>>720850217I can believe it man, maybe I'm blackpilled idkLoL is infinitely easier than Dota and HotS is just dead, what other ASSFAGGOTS comes even close to LoL's popularity? Sad but true i-m-o
>>720850031>Look at male character>Imagine gay sexAnon, I have bad news for you...
>>720850468You're supposed to think of sus amogus
>>720850420>LoL is losing way more players than it is gainingWhere those numbers at?
>>720850031>the clothes are just torn apart, they're not actually dirtHis shirt is soaked in dried blood anonie
>>720850420I think the ASSFAGGOTS audience is just growing up and growing out of the genre, even out of gaming, actuallyand there is much less new blood coming in universally, because everyone under 18 is playing... Fortnite, Minecraft, or some phone game believe it or not
I for one am glad that the setting got changed to the cursed apple.
>>720850031>it could be a vampire but it's presented to be buff and scruffy rather than thin and posh so maybe it's a werewolf?Leave the thread.Go play VTMB IMMEDIATELY.Return to the thread.
>>720850750Fortnite now has on average the same player count as Dota 2. And that includes mobile devices and consoles.
>>720850916This, the whole character is a classic Gangrel ripoff
>>720850880Everything about Neon Prime is so abysmally boring it is genuinely baffling it reached that far into development without anyone involved asking what the fuck the point wasI suppose they really got it at the end but still, how do you spend so much time on a snoozefest ugly game while the banger Deadlock concept came from last minute scrap work?
>>720850916>>720851031I wonder how many masquerade violations Drifter would've acquired over the years.
>>720846234>Deadlock is the next big thingGuess you should buy an ad then
>>720851027
>>720851113It's realhttps://fortnite.gg/player-countActual battle royale too is below 200k and split
>>720850049I just launch the game with tunnelbear set to Canada so I always get US matches. Once you're in the pregame rooftop where everyone's staring at each other, you can safely turn it off. You do have to close the game and relaunch it with the VPN active every time for it to be consistent though.
>>720851113Fortnite daily minimum player count is 350k and daily maximum is 980k. And that includes mobile devices, consoles, and all third-party modes. The main mode usually only has about 100k players.For Dota 2 it's 480k minimum and 820k maximumNot identical but very close.
>>720850750I get the feeling that Deadlock is the last gasp of a dying millennial gamer culture. Its one of the last places on the internet you are allowed to call someone a nigger. What follows is the Fortnite mulatto horde who lack the inner monologues required to enjoy more complex games.
>>720850256Nooo you can't have attractive male characters nooooo
I think the game sucks
>>720851043It really is. Inferno is so fucking boring compared to Infernus, Dynamo being a sumo is so meh compared to a man who was reduced to a dying star etc.
>>720851318Hot diggity damn, what happened 9 months ago that it hit 14 mil peak?>>720851541Alright, I checked charts and now I believe you. That's depressing.
>>720849052It makes more sense than ASSFAGGOTSRTS which has been the genre default. Why in gods damn use a control scheme meant for controlling multiple dudes in a genre where you're mainly controlling one guy?
>>720846234why does he look fr.nch?
>>720846421>Vindicta>Mina>Paradox>PaigeWho's the 5th?
will the game also have non-MOBA modes or custom modes?
>>720852275He's Cajun.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z05EdeNaDrU
>>720852056>What follows is the Fortnite mulatto horde who lack the inner monologues required to enjoy more complex games.The self-fellatio is strong in this one
>>720852220>it hit 14 mil peak?It has simply stabilized. Fortnite experiences significant spikes in player numbers during new seasons and events but the rest of the time it is not as large as everyone imagines it to be.
>>720849225Literally most people's reaction to Deadlock was "who the fuck still makes mobas?"Battle Royale already dethroned it as the popular bandwagon genre with Fortnite becoming the big popular thing for awhile. Now even that fucking trend has been and past and Dota 2 isn't even valve's most popular game anymore.
>>720852238I'm sure you know the answer (because it all originated from a warcraft mod), but it is what it is dude, no changing it nowYou won't attract that many shootan fans, because of the humongous and bottomless swamp of ASSFAGGOTS mechanics
>>720846234I played 2 matches and it was enough to tell deadlock is ngmi, the ugly art and the tedious game play with no down time plus long matches and a steep learning curve.
>>720852695>Battle Royale already dethroned it as the popular bandwagon genre with Fortnite becoming the big popular thing for awhile. Now even that fucking trend has been and past and Dota 2 isn't even valve's most popular game anymore.>>720851027>>720851318>>720851541
>>720852374I sure hope so.My biggest gripe with the game is that playing with good Macro ends up feeling boring as shit ESPECAILLY in lower ranks when your job is to just zipline around lanes and push them because your team is too busy playing Team Deathmatch.
>>720852793> for awhile>Now even that fucking trend has been and pastIt's funny, I already had a feeling anons were going to overlook that.
>>720852374>>720852821There has been in the game files a while now indication of a Payload mode.I for one hope they do CTF, they already have a good blueprint for it with the urn.
>>720852695>>720850031>Literally most people's reaction to Deadlock was "who the fuck still makes mobas?">furry designersthe designers being a bunch of faggot it's perfectly in line with the game being completely showered in shit the day it got leaked here and then having porn of the goblin within 24 hours and all the subsequent threads about it being derailed by it
>>720852695Why do we allow entire genres to die based on trends?>RTS>MMOs>FPS>MOBAsAll dead because "its already been done"
why don't these big games try to make compelling competitive experience with art design like pic rel? Seriously, just go FULL GACHA and make everyone sexy as all hell, and throw caution to the wind. I'm convinced that they would make GANGBUSTERS, and you can just sell different costumes for them for like $50 a pop too. It's so much easier just making a school girl, and selling a nurse outfit, a bikini, a winter coat outfit, a halloween costume, an easter bunny leotard, chinese new year qipao, and a santa outfit. Like how fucking hard is it?
>>720853084Developers cannot make good gameplay with only one hand and reduced bloodflow to the brain. If it were possible I think it would have been done by now.
>>720846234Nah. There's a lot to be said about the character designs, etc but the gameplay itself is total ass. DOA
>>720850880I actually liked neon prime
doorman and drifter my beloveds
>>720853084'cause they fags>>720853248they didn't anyway so might as well go full gacha
>>720853007FPS ain't dying anytime soon and is probably the one genre far too popular to every die. The real question is when devs are going to develop some taste and stop using COD as their blueprint.And it's not "it's already been done" that's the big hang up it's people figuring out the genre's a load of bullshit. That definitely happened with MOBA. Sort of happened with MMOs (I mean there are certainly interesting concepts for MMOs that could be done but the industry just tried copying WoW over and over). RTS's problem is the inherent multi-tasking filtering people.
>>720852361I don't know any of their names.
>>720853007RTS are alive, just nicheA new classic MMO simply cannot be successful. MMO faggots are obsessed with old games and would rather play WoW Classic than try something new. Games like Helldivers 2 are basically new MMOs, they have more community and human interaction than classic MMOs had for over a decade. FPS are doing fineMOBAs are also doing okay
>>720846234Who the fuck has time to learn all of this shit and then play with 9 strangers in 2025? I am 33 years old now.
>>720846234big thing??? the game is dying again
>derivative uninspired trash in a genre that people have been tired of for nearly 10 years is the next big thing
>>720853084This isn't good design, sorry porn addict with mediocre taste.
>>720853917>this isn't good designit's better than whatever the fuck is going on in the op..
I hope you weren't planning to have fun this match.
>>720853762>RTS are aliveas someone who has played broodwar since 1998, we are still slaves to a dogshit client managed by blizzard because no one has surpassed the OG or subsequently innovated. AOE2 is the next biggest RTS, and it's also old as fuck. That's not to say that companies aren't trying to innovate, they're all just falling flat on their faces because everyone thinks the key to RTS is making it """easier"""
>>720854051I love fighting against Seven because it's very easy to bully him
>>720853704>HollidayBased desu. I love her look. Some people say she's ugly but but nah.
riot is busy making a fighting game that no one will play and a "mmo" they've announced like a decade agoblizzard can barely keep overwatch 2 relevantthey won't do shit
I stopped playing, im so sick of teams not teaming togethermy side or their side, it isnt fun when its just a retard stomp fest
>>720855110I've found the opposite: The more team fights that happen, the more likely of a loss. Just doing solo shit on sidelanes has improved my win rate significantly. Of course, can't always do that if everyone wants to go solo.
BOOOOOOOO! Instead of making this they should have honored their existing word to the community and FINISHED ARTIFACT FOUNDRY AND HELD THE MILLION-DOLLAR TOURNAMENT THEY PROMISED!!!!!!!!Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
>>720846234I must have the most abysmal taste imaginable but I prefer March of Giants. Still, I hope deadlock is a success because I enjoy eating Valve's ass.
>>720854840Womanlet cowgirl tomboy that stinks good
>>720852079literal furaffinity homosexual spotted lmao
>>720855398This game's honestly decent, but Amazon will probably strangle it's budget if it doesn't make them a gorillion dollars
