What kind of characters would you like to see in Deadlock?
Heavy weapons user (male)
>>721052465Character like Vindicta but WITH SPELLS NOT NERFED INTO FUCKING GROUND
>>721052465A necromancer character the focuses on stealing spirit from the enemy (temporarily and/or permanently) and creating undead minions to attack with.
>>721052465a literal Artifact card to make the one Artifactfag seethe
>>721052465deadlock is an ugly game. ugly games are browncoded and trooncoded. YWNBAW.
>>721052465a literal car that run over enemies, maybe not that - but a vehicle character that can be buff n shit
>>721052465Buster Keaton
>>721052465An aviator character with this kind of mask could be cool, and a cool jacket.Or a french boxing/savate character.
>>721052465some guy from Utah that's just an actual paladin
>>721052465Dark Willow, she's perfect for a Dota crossover Also a mothman.
Why does every match have a Mina? She's not even that good.
>>721054186Must be because she is the only good looking female character.
>>721054186Incel pick, which is very nice because she's free food with one (1) slowing hex
>>721052465After noticing how much they were taking from the golden age of American illustrators, specially with Doorman being extremely reminiscing of JC Leyendecker's style, I would absolutely love to see a character based on his boy scout illustrations.Considering the lore of Deadlock, the whole boy scouts association would be different and you could have the teaching of occult knowledge and paranormal survival skills be part of their curriculum. As for the character itself, I imagined a demon boy (either 1st generation or 2nd generation Ixian immigrant) partnered with a dog (either a super generic dog or a hellish hound) equipped with an oversized (for him) lever action BB rifle. For his skills I more or less imagined a support type of character specialized in buffs and saving characters out of danger.
None because poofterlock is made by tf2trannies who hate fun
>>721054186>She's not even that good.Midwit opinion. She's fine but played primarily by retards so the unnecessary buffs won't stop any time soon.
>>721053097Theres no way theyll make a true summoner in this game or it will become a pushing nightmare. McGinnis is the closest we'll ever get.
A hypnotist hero, maybe from this universe's equivalent of MI6.A sailor that used to be part of the East India Trading Company but is now part of the South Ixia Trading Company.
A hassidic Jew hero that tunnels through sewer grates and summons a golemIt's weird how we didn't get a Jewish character in NYC
>>721054556
I love the game but they gotta do something about the matchmaking. I'm not asking for a fully robust system, there are more important things to take care of than that, but I doubt that a 0/12/0 Wraith against a 20/1/14 Seven is normal.Hopefully the alt game modes help the community a bit by offering some more "casual" experiences.
>>721054715>but I doubt that a 0/12/0 Wraith against a 20/1/14 Seven is normalThis is what is called “feeding”. It is logical that if one person dies a lot another kills a lot, even if his skill is not that high, it is nothing unusual
>>721054791I should explain that this Wraith kept running after people under guardians holding M1 against a team that knew how to splitpush, rotate, do call outs etc.That and supposedly the Wraith didn't know how to buy items until min 15 (I watched her and yeah, nothing till then).
>>721053356Incredible idea
What the fuck do I build on billy, I feel like I need damage, survivability, and mobility all at once, yet he farms like shit and you have 1 spell to get close to people per minute.
More animal/creature characters. Like a wendigo would be cool. And a small annoying mascot character. The human designs are better than most games but vyper/ivy/Billy are standouts imo.
>>721054886Just rush phantom strike
>>721054943It's funny that Vyper is a placeholder and still looks neat.
>>721054871was she chatting? there are deadlock bots that people use to feed while AFK so they dont get put into low priority for a leave
I want a werewolf or maybe just a generic furry. Bonus points if he's a flamboyantly gay male.
Techies.The real techies, with Proximity, Stasis, and Remote Mines and Suicide Squad, Attack!.
>>721055019Actually no. Huh, there were some bot like movement now that I think about it.>>721055029>Some faggot dashing around like they own the place>KABOOMlel
>>721055029>Makes the game drag on for 90 minutes>Every time the enemy team (who has a 200k soul lead) tries to push into base they get blown up by mines>Techies still lose in the end
>>721052465Shotgun characters, because I'm an aimlet mobatard. t. top500 EU only spamming Pocket and Abrams when ranked came out
>>721052465a summon character or one linking his abilities so an ally like Taric
>>721054615Mohammed and Kareem are not j*ws, they're proud warriors of Allah
>>721054186Mina is insanely good, they still haven'tnerfed her ult dmg on objectives and midboss meaning a stacked mina (hot) with spirit burn oblitarates the patreon>>721055207you tell em' BROTHER
>>721054556Unironically the shopkeeper is Jewish. He uses Jewish words that are common in NYC.
>>721055303Which ones, other than knickerbocker?
I would've said a Friends of Humanity agent, but they wouldn't dabble in half of the items and certainly would not want to do anything with the patrons.
>tfw no bee hero
>>721055359Mensch is one I know he uses. I think there was another but I can remember off the top of my head. His accent just also is an NYC Jew accent.
>>721055374that'd be a fun goal. Summon the patreon so tell it to kill itself NOW
>>721055374I don't see why not. Valve doesn't mind making evil characters playable.
>>721055437But that's Warden's goal.Nah, a Friends of Humanity agent would probably say something like close all the Astral gates or undo the maelstrom
>>721055408while you mention that. it seems he's also a wright like Kelvin no?>>721055482I'd wish for one champ simply because I want them to go above the simple "designated bad guys" and a fucking judge would be kino
>>721055437That's already Warden
>>721055481Yeah but half the fun of Deadlock is the occult stuff (Especially with abilities) and Friends of Humanity specifically hate it.Unless if this character is a "I must do it to save humanity" ideal.
>>721055558>Unless if this character is a "I must do it to save humanity" ideal.That's Warden reallyDoesn't he have a conversation with an allied Vindicta that she's cool and all, but her existence is unnatural so with his goal complete she'd have to die again?
>>721055558You voiced both the problem and its solution.
How about a hero like Abathur from HotS? Would it work in Deadlock?
>>721055631Warden doesn't have any conversations, at least with his side of the conversation, it's annoying.>>721055687True, true.
>>721055374They should unironically have a character that can't buy any items because they don't like the shopkeeper
>>721055631I would say Warden's more of a focused minded individual raised entirely to stop the patrons as a child soldier, whereas a friends of humanity agent that knows magic would be like their nuclear option to undo everything.
>>721055408And according to his dialogue with Haze, there are other shopkeepers in some sort of organisation. Would be funny if it's straight up a clan of Jewish merchants.Would be very funny if
>>721055737>Character can't buy items>Uses his souls to buy more skillpoints to megabuff his innate abilitiesKino. Ship it.
>>721055737Sounds retarded because it would be impossible to implement
>>721053356I need this now, such a good idea.>gets into the Ritual just to ban sound movies forever.
>>721055712Absolutely not, fuck off.
A soldier.Hear me out: This version of the US military manage to annex not!Hell (Or at least a portion of it), those motherfuckers should be hard as hell. Not to mention the OSIC giving an insight into what extent the US is messing with the occult, so it would be interesting to see what a soldier is like. Maybe he should be a retired soldier after the Ixian annex.Maybe he had run ins with the Baxter society because he is "haunted" by the monsters he has fought.
New Orleans Cajun Voodoo Baron Samedi type.
>>721052465I don't know what vibes/genre it's going for. Is it like ... Halloween Steampunk?
>>721056287Occult 1950's New York.
John Henry, with a steam powered cyborg heart and a huge hammer.Not only would it fit folk Americana soul, it would make /v/cel clitties spasm at the sight of an African American male hero.
>>721056159This
>>721056318More like a vague 1920s & 1930s, with elements of the 1950s.Same with how TF2 was initially 1950s & 1960s, with elements of the 1970s.
>>721056356Game already has Infernus, no need for more black men
>>721056159Give him a PTSD debuff that makes it so allied heroes show up as enemies for a brief moment
>>721052465>All this occult stuff>Not a single fish/octopus/crab & human abomination hybridMite be neat.
>>721052465this
>>721056542This would be shit but a funny idea nonetheless>He was actually an army medic and got empath powers. Ultimate temporarily turns friendly fire on.>>721056596Might be Slork.
>>721056506Ix*an immigrants are not FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICANS Calico is a highly unfortunate design.
A Chinese schizo monk that fights to earn immortality and turns enemies into cultivation mercury pills and eats them or something.More Soviet Empire reps
>>721056842I liked Raven's design so fuck yes. Hope he escapes hero labs hell.I don't have any hope for Wrecker. RIP his original ult, funniest fucking ult in the game.
>>721054186shes the most broken character in the game, and they buffed her because stupid fucking gooners were having trouble playing one handed and breathing at the same time
>>721054715The problem with matchmaking is that they allowed people's ranks to decay to Initiate I. So people who were good at the game but stopped playing a few months to a year ago are being matched with newfags. They should limit the amount of decay, not have it decay at all, or make it faster for accounts who were high rank to rank faster.
>>721056625It could be a bit more direct that it buffs his regular attacks but the longer he's in combat (shooting at people) the higher is the chance for the effect to trigger
>>721052465I want a train. A steam train. Not a conductor or anything gay like that. I wanna play as a steam train.
>>721057182How about:>Gun: Some sort of standard issue rifle>Ability 1: Grenade with physics with a delayed explosion but can be cooked.>Ability 2: Uses empath powers to take a % of the damage taken by nearby allies.>Ability 3: Dunno, I was thinking something to combo with ability 2 and the ult which is next, but I don't want it to just be a regular heal.>Ult: Passive effect of "remembering" his combat training the longer he is in battle, at the cost of blinding himself to his team mates and only seeing enemies on the map. Active effect of letting out all of his rage and pain, dealing a % of damage he has taken in a short period of time around him, spreading it to everyone in range (Maybe a level to reduce the damage to allies).
>>721055737>Character that can ignore half of the game and still be relevantlol no
>>721056925what was it
>>721057590https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egaFhT2SdOEtl;dr: Sends out a spirit version of himself to fly around the map, crash into an enemy to deal damage and teleport to where it landed.Imagine being an enemy and hearing plane noises above your head.
>>721052465I want a Yoruba characte who uses African voodoo black magic shit, would fit the setting pretty well. Could also add a Chinese cultivator monk too, would also be fun
>>721057514>Actual teamwork ult>With potential for massive negative feedbackValve wouldn't do it in a million years, and even if they did that character would just be stuck in a comp-only limbo forever
>>721056925>Raven's designHard disagree. His design is like a 1960s James Bond type of spy which fits TF2's setting better than Deadlock. Also the Big Boss reference with the white beard and eyepatch is too on the nose.Could be made much better imo by letting him wear a wide fedora and shady trenchcoat and like an older spy depiction a la Spy vs. Spy rather than the Bond-style casino wear he currently has.Also I didn't like the umbrella at first but now it's growing on me.>>721057590This
>>721057675add a stuka sound and am in
>>721057514That would work out pretty well too, yea. I think it's a lot more fun to make the characters thematically fit in both design, skills and play style first and then you tweak it accordingly to make it work in the game. It's something that Deadlock has been doing really well with all the characters having a lot of chemistry and feeling like they belong in their setting.
I love that Drifter doesn't really have a wish, just wants to kill people.
>>721058164except he strives for apotheosis
>>721058259That's Seven.
>>721058305I missread you, I apologize
Remove the card gimmick from Wraith (keep the skill, just change it to another projectile) and introduce a gambler character that throws cards and casino chips and shit and have him be the game's Alchemist.
>>721058769Anon, Wraith's entire thing is being a big time gambler gangsta. You can have multiple gamblers y'know?Hell, you can make this bloke the creator of the sinner's sacrifice machines and make him less about card games but other types of casino games.
>>721058769would his dmg be randomized?
>>721052465mummy
PRIEST when? I want to start smiting heathens with my ult crossbow. Just like god intended.
>>721052935I AM HEAVY WEAPONS GIRL... AND THIS... IS MY WEAPON
>>721052935>>721059060McGinnis (+ Engineer)>>721059010Wasted on niggress, and Mirage already covers a good amount of desert tropesStill hope for a Mummy character
>>721053356nailed it
>>721058902Maybe a mix between Alchemist and Ogre Magi, an RNG ability sort of like multicast.
>>721059157I haven't played DOTA, I played league so those names don't ring a bell for me
>>721052465A character where you have multiple bodies you can swap between while leaving the others to do basic tasks via rudimentary AI and basic global commands. Individually they will be weak and if you kill one they all die, but all bodies share resources.So a good player will of out farmed the rest of the players by the mid-game and can therefore make game wining plays early.
>>721059157His gun should have massive spread.>>721059185All you need to know for Ogre Magi is that his ultimate is a passive allowing random chance to cast an ability or item multiple times.
>>721059221sounds super fun and chaotic for itmes like spirit burn
>>721059196They definitely need to work on the AI before that happens, troopers are dumb as dog shit.
>>721052465Since the Developers couldn't care less about maintaining consistency in their characters or world building, how about a magical crackhead who just wants to maintain a magical high forever. He's homeless, with torn clothes and bone dry skin, who hurts himself to get buffs for spirit, health, and resistances. His weapon could just be him throwing glass bottles around.
>>721059221>multicast fleetfoot or magic carpet
>>721052465League of legends Season 2 shaco, I will play your game until I die just to revive that high of a being the ultimate menace of the jungle
>>721059826Ixian Floyd
>>721052465the uninstall wizard
>>721059980please tell us which game to play instead
>>721059247>>721059845Multicast would legit be a fun ultimate in deadlock with just the items alone. >4x Multicast knockdown.>4x multicast healing nova
>>721060207>4x alch fire>4x phantom strike>4x cultist's sacrifice
>>721059845>magic carpetno one uses this thoughIn fact I'm curious if there's item buy rate stats somewhere, that shit has to be at the bottom.
>>721060323It'd probably be me and the other meme viscous players.
>>721060323I use it on Lash
>>721060207>>721060268>4x multicast Infuser
>>721060352I use it on Sinclair too, ability duration is always welcome for the bnuuy skill and the easy rotation makes it you'll often be there for fights to be a nuisance. It's still a meme item for 6400 but who cares.
I can't wait for the alternate shooter game modes, but I also cannot wait for ability draft. Got a couple of ideas brewing already.
>>721060207>4 knockdownsI can already picture the ROADA ROLLAR DA Dio edits
>>721052465big boobie milf that shoot milk projectiles
nobody wants bad dota mechanics in this game.just go play dota.
>>721061560and what are the bad dota mechanics .. ?
>>721061585camp stacking, creep blocking, elevation, woods, turn ratesALL shit
>>721061585just read the last 20 posts or so.imagine thinking multicast is a good mechanic.
>>721061585not letting me fuck the enchantress in her deer pussy
>>721061885t. retard
Speaking of DotaYou know what this game lacks?Wards, vision wardsYeah you might say the map isn't big enough to justify warding but there are spots on the map where you REALLY want vision, like your teams safehouse with the slot machines
>>721062163>map is small>wards would need to have wallhacks to be worth placing near interiors>jungle camps/sacrifice machines update without vision anywayeither pointless or hilariously overpowered with no in-between.
>>721062131>he thinks camp stacking is a fun and engaging mechanic
>>721062227I retract my previous statementWards are retarded
>>721062163We might get a utiltity character who can cast wards as one of their abilities but thats it. Like you said the map isn't really big enough to justify it for every character.
>>721062163you can just hear if people are stealing your shit.
>>721060323i built it on holliday once with extra skill duration and became a dollar store ivy, ulting people and flying away. build was shit but funny nonetheless
>>721062298correct. you must be really bad if something so simple and inoffensive bothers you
Got access a year ago but didn't bother to start playing until just nowIs Holliday good? I don't really like a lot of the heroes.
>>721062784Depends, can you aim? If so then yeah she's arguably broken. Even if you can't aim for shit her other powers are stupid OP.
>>721062896I land pretty consistent headshots whenever her passive is up, yeah.I do think her 2 kinda sucks, though.
>>721062928You're just not using it properly, a good holiday is INSUFFERABLE to be around just because of her 2 alone. Think of it as a get of jail free card but with more skill expression.
>>721052465I want to see the troon removed and replaced with a robot version of hitler, i also want all female black characters to be made less ugly.
>>721063224>TroonPocket?
>>721052465cunny
>>721062784her headshot is just the tip of the iceberg. Her barrel mechanic can be so good if you properly lob them using jump throw light punch
>>721063261Yes. Delete it.
>>721063515Arin is not a troon. Pocket is a they since they're multiple individuals.
>>721063515Literally the only thing to indicate he is a "troon" is the backstory using "they".His voice is masculine, the model is very clearly a young male and nothing indicates anything feminine at all. I dunno WHY they did it, but it is something that can be fixed.
>>721063647>the model is very clearly a young maleIts not even that, he looks like your average manwha protagonist. I don't think it can get more masculine than that.
>>721063647Pocket is a group, Pocket himself, his jacket and the ghost in the briefcase. Sinclair also are two people in one corpse (Sinclair and his Wife)
>>721063601>>721063837The only thing that throws it off is a rant Mina has about "Stupid Arin and their stupid father and their stupid company" etc. which is specifically about Arin and not the collective Pocket.
>>721063601>>721063647>its le heckin not a troon! Shut the fuck up, they put that "thier" in the backstory for a reason. Its a troon, valve has clearly been infected with the libtard virus. Im sick of troons being fucking EVERYWHERE theyre like cockroaches multiplying all the time just to make me miserable.
>>721052465Ursa hero 1:1 him, and maybe something like sniper. But Ursa would be enough
>>721063837So who's the responsible one, sinclair or savannah ?
>>721064053Haze already has one of his main gimmicks, that being his damage ramp up and Yamato "kinda" has his ult.But more the merrier.
>>721063460Hm, I'll look into it. The barrel does feel strong as fuck when you've got items.
>>721064153When you jump and light melee it, the barrel also has some very slight tracking as well. Test it out in sandbox.
>>721052465Pic related if i'm being unoriginal.If I am originalCornucopiaAnti-Support Tri-Color All-Chaos"Magda Relle wasn't very successful in her job as a painter. Even after traveling to NYC and trying to utilise Ixian tricks to make her paintings seem more alive, didn't mean much when people didn't like looking at them. She needed a way to make sure people wouldn't want to look away, she needed a muse. And that came to her in a dream. Ever since she painted what she saw in that dream, the former 'Ms. Aqua Relle' was only known as Cornucopia or at least if... that was still her and whatever she painted didn't trap her inside her painting for all eternity.Whatever this identity-taking being is, she needs a new vessel."Implied to have been 3rd Patron who got sealed by Amber Hand and Sapphire Bitch. Her wish would probably be just to turn all other patrons into mortals, put them in paintings and torture them in revenge.Playstyle: She's both very unique and very non-unique. Her 3 (changing between 3 colour palette modes affecting her weapon) and Ult (slightly different depending on color) allows her to be jack-of-all trades depending on what the team needs. If you want to play her as support/healer, you can. You can play her as Spy, take out opponents and then disguise yourself for a way out get in behind Walkers for easy kill. Her 1 (making people become neutral shadow beings that is affected by friendlyfire) can be both used as self-defence, but also as a way of inciting chaos and allowing for things like Dynomo sucking their own allies into blackhole and what not. It's definitely the most evil ability that isn't a straight up stun and will require enemies to play around her. High skill floor. Kinda like Sinclair but in reverse. 2 allows to walk on walls like Link in Link Between Worlds and be ignored by NPC enemies.From looks she'd be inspired by work of Zdzisław Beksiński, Pikman's Model by HP Lovecraft and a bit of Frederic from Look Outside.
>>721064153there's a few video that explains it but you can easily turn it into a grenade. Add to that it bounces people in the air and has like 5 charges lategame you can usually fly with 2 lob a barrel lasso then barrel again a few times while hitting a random headshot (scales with spirit too)
>>721064138haze is like bh or riki she plays nothing like ursa.
>>721064258Oh yeah, don't get me wrong I'm not saying they play the same, I'm just saying Haze has Fury Swipes basically already in her kit.
>>721064216>PicThat's fucking funny, would play.
>>721064216Relationships:>Lady Geist - Cornucopia knows Oathkeeper, asking Geist to let him know that she managed to take over her vessel before him.Drifter - They also known each other, but aren't fond of each other. At least they both see this Ritual as a feast than a chance to turn their lives around, because they know the truth>Ivy - She pretends to be her vessel around her and even tells she will let Ivy do a story on her paintings after the Ritual. If she means it or she's trying to steal her body too, that is unknown. Ivy says Ms. Magda Relle is really talented just underappreciated in Europe.Paige - She mocks her saying she will become not just a character but an actual book cover if she doesn't pull her part.>Lash - She pretends to be his fan and asks if she can paint his autoportrait. Probably so she can seal him forever.Vyper - Gets surprisingly along with her and finds her remarkable in the she's probably in here for pack of cigarettes, even offering to bring Lash to her after the ritual despite the two having different ways of talking>Seven/Dynamo/Infernus/Kelvin - They remark how Cornucopia's abilities are quite similar to theirs. She also wants them to show off as much as possible in the Ritual, the power, the pain, everything, so she can capture all of it afterwards.Sinclair - She kinda' flirts with Henry saying if he needs Savannah's replacement after Ritual, she can do well. Both Henry and Savannah are more focused on questioning how she knows that to be flabbergasted or mad. Cornucopia just says ominously "I was there...">The Doorman - Only character she's intimidated by, saying she used to be a guest at Baroness before this vessel and knowns what he can do.Other Patrons - Only time they are more direct with intro dialogue and might say and wish to not be summoned by her specifically.
>>721064301you're right, but I want a hero with overpower
>>721052465need more fat men
>>721057786saw this and my pic related in previous threads.Were these deleted from files or well hidden? Because both me and my hacker gf who goes through Deadlock files like every day can't find it anymore. Would appreciate if you anons could share a program if it's required to view these. I need to known if Boho or Venitor have more things found than what Wiki lists or than we've found so far.
>>721064216Please tell me this is already posted on the official Forums.
Here is my hero concept: Phus (like Sisyphus).Phus once worked for a moving company called Zeus. Using his spiritual powers, he single-handedly hauled great, heavy pieces of furniture vertically up the faces of tall skyscrapers. He was happy doing this. Then, one day, a freak accident caused him to drop a piano he was hauling. It crashed into a little girl, flattening her against the pavement. For this accidental murder, a grief-stricken Phus was sentenced to having his powers -- both physical and spiritual -- stripped away from him. After some aimless roaming about, he pledges himself to a Patron hoping to be able to go back to the way things were.Phus starts as a weak little boy using a slingshot to fling pebbles at people with. This is a very underwhelming weapon, just sufficient to last hit but little else. On the plus side, it doesn't need to reload, and it fires relatively quickly.Phus' first ability is his signature move: the ability to defy gravity, and walk on any surface. This allows him to scale buildings in the game, and get into all sorts of advantageous positions. Baseline, it is an active ability that lasts for a set amount of time and then goes on cooldown. First tier gives you damage resistance while the ability is active. Second tier makes surface-walking passive, though the damage resistance remains an active ability. At the third tier, he gets buffed instead of damaged by those electrical zappy things on rooftops.
>>721065067>Hacker>GFHow big is "her" girlcock
>>721065256Phus' second ability increases the damage of his basic attacks, depending on the height difference between Phus and the enemy, up to a certain maximum percentage. Shoot from a high vantage point, get a lot of bonus damage. Works on a cooldown, is active for a little while. First tier reduces the cooldown. Second tier increases the duration. Third tier makes it so that Phus' shots ignite, dealing a flat amount of extra damage per hit, which scales with the already-present bonus percentage.Phus' third ability is a unit-targeted headshot. You press the ability, you select a target (much like every other target-selected ability in the game so far, but way longer range), and Phus shoots a tracking shot at them. This shot is guaranteed to hit, and it is guaranteed to hit the head. It deals normal attack damage, and other enemies can get in between the chosen target and Phus to block the hit, them instead taking it to the body. Tier one increases range, tier two reduces cooldown, tier three reduces cooldown even more if someone intercepts the shot. This ability has two charges.Phus' ultimate is where he gets interesting. His ultimate allows him to recover a fragment of his past power. Upon unlocking it, he grows visibly stronger and older. His weapon changes to a sling, with more damage but a slower rate of fire. This works in tandem with all of Phus' other abilities, all focused on maximizing the damage of his long-range unit-targeted headshot. Tier one further increases his strength, giving him extra max health and changing his weapon to manually throwing hefty rocks at enemies. Again, slower, again stronger. Tier two makes the rocks he throws even bigger. Tier three makes them huge-ass boulders and turns him into a ripped, grey-haired Greek god that hurls meteors from the top of buildings.
>>721063647>I dunno WHY they did itPuck homage
Scout tf2 but demonBall that stuns depending on distance; the farther away the enemy, the longer the stunDrink that makes you invulnerable but does not allow to attackPassive that improves mobility and jumping in particularThe ultimate is mutated milk that when thrown at enemies makes everyone who deals damage to them restore health based on the damage dealtMain weapon: double barrel shotgun with enormous damage, but always two shots before reloading and a very short range
>>721052465Does this game have a spy equivalent? I know he kind of sucked in tf2 but it's a fun gimmick and I would like to see valve try it again hopefully make it good this time.
>>721052465https://files.catbox.moe/41o33n.pnghttps://files.catbox.moe/lk8qk5.pngWoah. Mina is that kind of girl?
>>721065798The character that has the most gimmicks similar to Spy is Haze>can go invisible and move fast but gets revealed near enemies>has a (throwing) knife>specialized in close range 1v1 pickoffsBut no, no disguise gimmick.
>>721065798Not yet. Raven should be something like that and there are items that allow you to play stealthily like bonus damage to the back and invisibility.There's Haze but she's more like Sombra/Skye
>>721052465A weapon swapping character that lets you play the game like a normal shooter.
>>721054414Great idea anon, though you could probably make him into a trapper type character. Not exactly techies tier of warcrimes, but more of a trickster.
>>721065835why are you like this
>>721052935I hate how the heavy weapons character is always some butch dyke now
>>721052465Cute shota(s)
>>721052465I really like the macro of MOBAs, the sense of it being a battle you are a small participant in, instead of being a murderball teamfight fagfest. Anyway, to that end, what are the pitfalls and benefits of a hero who focuses on buffing minions, summoning them, or other such things? HotS had camps that you could send to split-push for you as mercenaries or something. No way that would fit in Deadlock, or that Abathur skill set, that was giga-cancer. Other ideas that arent just turrets?
>>721068775There are already items that improve minions. It could work, but it depends on whether they want to create such character or continue to focus on more or less ordinary characters.
>>721068947Heroic Aura is the big one. Installing the mod that shows people's objective dmg next to their name was illuminating. I'd really love if this game somehow shifted back to that feeling it used to have of a large battle. That extra lane added so much to split-pushing and needing to manage map control. I miss it. I miss ammo scav too.
>>721065067he's called operator in the files, and was in the game and playable until the august update
average match duration for this game?
>>721056618her boyfriend is 12 inches and 12 years
>>72106988530-40 minutes
>>721070031Thank you so much for this, that's very unfortunate. Wanted to migrate from MOBAs to a superior genre but I'll check out apex legends, overwatch 2 and rivals, those seem to have way shorter matches. Will extensively try all of them out.
>>72106988530 minutes ish, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter depending on how much of steamroll the game is at.
>>721070079It's still 100% a MOBA game, if you want quicker matches you'll have to wait for alternate gamemodes when the game comes out
>>721070176>alternative game modesthat's a no nothe whole balancing and effort will go into the ranked mode, you know already, be honest, those other modes are just for fun casual modes in all pvp games
>>721052465I want ogre magi in deadlock.
>>721070217Turbo doesn't need to be balanced.
>>721052465What's the tank/CC spammer gameplay like in this?Is there a good variety, or is it yet another game where 8/10 characters are DPS, burst and hyper mobility?
>>721070618It's a pretty even spread and tankiness can be nutty with certain heroes (One can regen damage taken over a period of time, one delays damage taken and heal a % of it, the one in the OP has a self-revive and gains health regen based on "spirit" [magic damage modifier] power).
>>721070618There are plenty of characters with strong CC as well as tanky characters. You can itemize quite freely, so you can build support items (includes CC) or tank items in whatever fashion you want.The item system is not super simple, so just find a guide to follow at the start.You might want to play Mo&Krill if you feel the shooting gameplay is hard, he doesnt rely a lot on his gun and he does CC and is tanky.
>>721071123I'm actually extremely good at shooting, I just like making the game less fun for everyone else by not letting them play the game, but not actually killing them
>>721071235All the better. Specate some games or watch some streamer play it if you want to get a feel for it, though streamers mostly play DPS characters.
>>721064216is this based on that rain lady urban myth?
>>721070618the best character for that is doorman, who can ult someone to remove them from the game for 6 seconds, then send them flying on a luggage cart before they can react
>>721054307Geist is attractiveso is Paige
>>721071484It's inefficient for actually killing, but I still love to do the infinite doorway+cart combo.
>>721070618Billy
>>721071675Billy is the most fun character in the game, will be sad when they eventually gut him like they did Victor.Its stupid too because he's not even a 1 v 2 laner, if you get a retard who doesn't know what he's doing then you're fucked since you have no range or poke.
How do i get into the gameI want to play the cute vampire guyYes I'm gay
>>721071484>Mina is right fucking there>she doesn't start moving to help until Wraith's already deadI wish my enemies were this tarded
>>721072334Don't bother ulting people if they're a high mobility champ or there's nearby cover.Mina's ult is best used on walkers or objectives.
Cho'gal gimmick character (is, one body controlled by two players >That would be ass Yea, but it would be funny at least
>>721072447He said guy.>>721072334Beg on the steam forums for the game for an invite.
>>721072537thanks qti hope he sexy in game too

I love the characters and the setting so much but I can't stand ASSFAGGOTSs and FPSsOccasionally I play a match and 10 minutes later I just hate myself
I want the killer 7 as one collab character
I’d like to see the finished version of Artifact Foundry and million-dollar tournament.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.

How do you even counter Bebop? I completly stomp him early game but late Bebop when he's got fed by other retards and gets Echo Shard/Refresher seems to be impossible to counter, I get Knockdown every ult he does, I use debuff on his bombs (teammates don't even buy it fml) and still he manages to grapple everyone including me into moshpits with his team... Please help
>>721077338CounterspellDebuff remover
>>721054186She's a high skill cap hero. Rather than the difficulty being in her skills, it's in keeping her alive since she's as tanky as a wet tissue paper. Cause of this, she's fun but difficult to play. That and her design being sex is probably why she's so popular.
>>721065542Oh that’s pretty clever.
>>721077778>She's a high skill cap hero. Rather than the difficulty being in her skills, it's in keeping her alive since she's as tanky as a wet tissue paper.Just fucking buy Debuff Remover you idiot, you don't need to try and pitch the hero to us as something super complex
>>721062163Those slot machines make enough noise to be heard from lane. Wards maybe could have worked well on the 4 lane map, but the 3 lane map is too condensed for wards.

>>721079779Joke?
>>721079890ah of course it's a chink
>>721078169I mostly just meant that she gets played a lot by dumbasses who ignore how little hp she has and just rush in and eat shit the entire game.
>>721063647>but it is something that can be fixed.I dunno if it is. If they try to back out now it suddenly gets labelled as problematic or some shit.
>>721070079>I'll check out apex legends, overwatch 2 and rivalsApex is the beet of those three but you’ll be disappointed with how shallow they all are.
>>721079385source
>>721054886Little late but build melee items early (spirit strike and lifestrike), then max 1 (makes 1 count as a heavy melee so the melee items' cooldown is shorter). Spirit strike gives you lots of spirit resist (more targets you hit with 1 the more resist). That plus escalating resilience for bullet resist makes billy insanely tanky.Always hold down m1 in almost any situation cause your gun damage is insane plus insta reloads with melee.Fleetfoot helps you stick to a target and the ult is a great catch tool. Use 2 sparingly to catch or escape as necessary.Also almost never heavy melee while enemy parry is up, just light melees is enough for the reload without the telegraphed heavy. Once they parry go ham with melees for the extra hp.I would suggest Metro's builds for specific build order.

>>721053287This. Trannylock is absolutely a pet project by Sean Vanaman. Valve has been technically and artistically dead ever since that faggot came aboard in 2020 when Gabe Newell went AWOL in New Zealand over covid and Vanaman acted as the defacto CEO in Gabe's absence. Also, during Gabe's absence whlas when you saw the customer service division spun off to India. Vanaman needs to fucking go or Valve will continue to suffer under his faggotry
>>721069141Wait, this game is devolving into a basic hero shooter like overwatch or rivals after all? Lol.
>>721083192Not really, there's more focus on farming than fighting unless you're in low elo where people just fight for no reason
It's New York, there needs to be a literal rat
>>721083763ivy
>>721083253There seemed to be some kind of elo squish, matchmaking is a bit shitty where you've got actual drooling thumb-sucking tower diving retards vs. people with brains and hand eye coordination. The reduction of the lanes has absolutely drive the game closer toward teamfighting uselessly.

Give me some tips to play The Lash, I'm finding some success but I still feel like I'm missing the secret sauce.
>>721089147Get mystic reverb on his 3
>>721089147Spending time on the ground is for losers, which the Lash is not.
>>721089147Think and act like Lash irl
>>721089147use the fact you're airborn for your 3. Also the more spirit the bigger the cone
>>721089147upgrade your stamina and recharge times on your grapple, you will be flying around so much you are basically unkillable

>>721066489Trapper would also be pretty fun, I agree. I definitely see him as a pretty utility/gimmick kind of character>>721067587Slowly but surely
>>721054186because she's one of the 3 characters in the entire roster that look good, it's not rocket science
Did they fuck with Calico or something why everyone playing itAlso fuck gun Paige.

>>721055128>t. top500 EU only spamming Pocket and Abrams when ranked came outlol and you bother to mention this now in 2025 why? Like it means anything? How many patches, new heros and map changes later? Pretty sad, anon.
>>721055029I came here to post this.The absolute dopamine hit I get when someone trips a cluster of mines and gets erased is simply divine.Even if they don't add a techies type character, in the "traditional" sense, I would like to see a character(s) whose designed around area denial and buying/stealing time for your allies/away from your enemies.
>>721061885camp stacking and turn rate and elevation are not in the fucking game you dumb bastard, nor is creep blocking
>>721056842Something like that would fit will. The Boxer rebellion was in 1899, so assuming it happened in Deadlock's world as well, a participant could realistically be in New York around the time of the game.
