>>722554846Hmmmmmmnyo
>>722555448No he wasn't. He was the equivalent of a deep sea diver for an ocean critter on the land, and I loved that design. It was clever.

>>722555830She sounds fat as fuck, unfortunately
>>722555717He's using Kelvin's model without the fur/rune thing and Kelvin's old helmet from the Neon Prime days, since Kelvin was going to be an astronaut or something at first.

>>722556761sublime
>>722556765I could see why they would try, League and Dota prove MOBAs have a hold on people and I think OW and Marvel Rivals aren't filling in that gap the same way. Rivals in particular has really fudged the balance and core design of the roles, they just giving AOE healing/s fields to Rocket and Jeff cause they have no clue what to do with them sorta proves it. Plus triple support just being so prevalent.

It's been said they are going to modify stuff so that it can work in the "casual" game modes they are cooking up away from the ASSFAGGOTS game mode, but I wonder what they'll change.
Another DOA valve game.Go back to making counter-strike 2.9
>>722559067>doa>46k players for an invite-only game
>>722558801Probably have a lot of tinkering with the soul system or even limit items in general.
>>722559238Wow, that's 1/1000th of roblox.
>>722558801Probably have a payload game mode but honestly the game doesn't really have some front to back type fights to support that. Even TF2 had that to a degree.
>>722554846Paige is meant for sex.

>Access to Deadlock is currently limited to friend invites via our playtesters.I'm not going to beg.
>>722554846Is that GentleGF
>>722559238>muh invite only copeDOTA2 had 200k players after a year of invite only, 300k before it released fully. I don't know what it is about Deadlock that inspires such delusional cope, to me everything in this game is just mediocre>mediocre MOBA>mediocre Shooter>mediocre map>mediocre hero designYet retards will tell you it's the most amazing game ever made.
>>722559563just ask someone in /dlg/
>>722560123>DOTA2 had 200k players after a year of invite only,what's your point? it doesn't need to be as successful as dota.
Look at her go.
>>722560123It's a tiny bit disingenuous to compare it to DOTA 2 which had the original DOTA All Stars to build up from which dominated the WCIII community while Deadlock is a new game that is actually constantly changing a lot of base level mechanics.Only a little because Deadlock should be learning lessons from DOTA 2 and TF2.
>>722558453the paigeposters specifically make me want to not talk about this game at all

Why did the game flop so badly?
>>722560695It's a moba and a third person shooter, the 2 worst two genres in vidya history being mashed together.
>>722560695when?
>>722561229I don't like it so it flopped and it's reddit
>>722554846Am I playing wrong if I heavily focus on gold buddha-maxxing? It feels detached from what's going on with the rest of the game, but I'm consistently coming in with fuck-off levels of improved stats.
>>722560695trans coded playerbase.
>>722561678all in all you are doing it wrong if you do nothing and lower elos tend to foolishly undervalue those urns.
>>722554846>DEIlockI will only consider playing the game when the scrap the babyinc designs
>>722562553such as
>>722562553What ones are there? Obviously Pocket, but I feel the non-binary thing isn't going to be changed at this point. Who else?
>>722562553Yamato is the only possible SBI design left, they were only involved with the Neon Prime stage of development.
>>722562730
>>722560214disgusting thing
>>722562919Don't talk about Lash that way.
>>722562803don't other heroes literally refer to him as he
>>722554919I've only played 1 game where there was an obvious cheater. I'm assuming some people are just that good
>>722562978Thanks for your input vyper
>>722562849That's a backstory, not a design.
>>722563018
>>722563104Now that's a better argument.Yeah, Callico's design sucks, think most of the fanbase would agree.
>>722562991I haven't played too many but at least 3-4 I can specifically recall refer as "they/them"
>>722557224Go back to your containment thread
>>722563131It's only Mina so far with "Stupid Arin and their stupid company and stupid family" iirc.
>>722563130>>722563104Calico's design is perfectly fine. She is a black chick who looks like her cat. You guys would have been mindbroken when they cast halle berry as catwoman.
>>722563142You first
>>722562730All of them. All ugly, non-white, old, checking every diversity box. The only white male characters look like hipsters from tumblr gay porn.
>>722554846concord-tier character designhard pass
>>722563325>Calico's design is perfectly fineDeadlock is not beating the DEI allegations
>>722563408>All ugly>Non-white>Old>Look like hipstersIronically though, him and Doorman get shipped by fujos for some reason.
>>722562849>the character everyone shits onLove playing Infernus and hearing I SEE THAT SPOILED BRAT
>>722563104I like her model except for the head. needs a new hairstyle at least. great voice acting though.
>>722563104Is the issue just that she's black?If this isn't bait, I'm genuinely curious how this design is enough to make this game DEI while TF2's Demoman isn't. Is it because she's also a woman? If it's because she's a woman, then does Alyx in Half Life or Rochelle in L4D2 make those games DEI?
Game needs to be either more shooter and less MOBA or the other way around.None of the systems on the game sing with each other. The FPS parts are diluted. The MOBA parts are diluted.
>>722563645For me it's the hair and glasses looking shite.
>>722563456I don't care if it is DEI. People who obsess over DEI are Asmongold tier retarded.
>>722563645>Is the issue just that she's black?how many groids does the game need?
>>722563325The idea is cool, the problem for me at least is the fact Calico textures are very plain and beta looking, she needs more decorations or trinkets to make her more of an mystic assasin instead of a woman in a zoot suit.Still diving under Guardian with Calico and getting kills never gets old.
>>722563770>I don't care if it's DEIslopthanks for sharing
Would you stay at the Baroness? Most haunted hotel in the tri-state area.
>>722563949Her, Slork and Raven are the only Hero labs heroes I wish could survive.Wrecker can come along IF he gets his old ult back.
>>722557203On everything gaben is NOT playing this shit lmaoThis game is for people under 30
>>722563928The initial impression is that it would be like a death sentence, like The Shining or 1408. But then from interactions and lore you find out that lots of heroes/characters have stayed or are staying there like it's no big deal. I guess evil haunted murder hotel just hits different, a lower bar, when the setting entire is all spooky-occult fucked up.
>>722563130>think most of the fanbase would agree.You'd be very surprised
>>722563873It isn't slop though. The game is well thought out and there is clearly effort put into it. The fact your can't play good games because you think it has a brown in it is peak cuckoldry.
>>722558453Mina and other coomer characters like Geist fit deadlocks aethstetic perfectlyPaige is too pure and cutesy and kills the vibe, same with Ivy and DynamoBepob is a chaotic neutral character who wouldn't think twice to level a city block if it meant protecting miss Shelly and he just acts kind because it makes Shelly happy
>>722564107Ivy maybe, but Dynamo sure isn't an innocent person. His friendship to Maximilian Fairfax is proof enough.
>Create punk character>Is a massive poseurLove it.
>>722564228reddit goat
>>722564242>Says he is standing up for the common man>Just in it to break shit, has no actual convictions>Can only talk up skanks and is an asshole for no reason to everyone elsePretty on point actually.
>>722564228He's one of the most fun characters once you realize you should only light melee at the very most. His 1 - 3 - 1 combo should be enough to refill your ammo while obviously dealing damage
>>722564280My impression of him was>The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmthKind of situation. If you assume he was born with the goat head then I doubt his life before the ritual was anything pleasant.
>>722563802If you don't count Haze/Infernus, it currently has 2 brown people.In terms of human (or humanlike) character's skin colors, Deadlock consists of:11 White people2 Black people2 LITERALLY Black people (Haze and Infernus)2 Asians (I believe Mina is asian from her name, but she could also be white)1 Native American Person1 Middle Eastern Person2 Blue PeopleThere are legitimately equal blue people to black people. If this game was supporting DEI as much as you think it is, they are putting black characters on the same level as a fake skin color, and even if you count Haze and Infernus, white characters still beat all other ethnicities combined.In your eyes, if this is a problem you genuinely see in games, what percentage do you genuinely believe there should be for white characters compared to other ethnicities?
>>722564386ThisIf he was abandoned and hated as a child and no man or woman would ever dare get near him because of his goat head I can understand why he'd be so pissed all the time at everything
>>722554846Missed opportunity where she only has an Arthurian obsession, rather than fiction in general. Like she could have had other fiction book related abilities. Treasure Island, 20000 Leagues, The Jungle Book, Don Quixote, etc.
>>722563487>Drifter x DoormanWho do you think tops?
>>722564515Doorman is a twink, but is also an eldritch god.
>>722564101>there's a lot of thought put into itit's an uninspired MOBA with guns that has been in development for 8 years and had three complete reworks, devs are clueless and visionless. >you can't play good games cuz muh browniesI've already played it and it's shit even if it wasn't full of pozz.
>>722564427infernus is black
>>722554846Legitimately would have considered reinstalling but they fucked up this girl's design, her skirt is too short. If it was ankle length they would have hooked me. Nice try though
>>722564434>>722564386>Thank you for summoning me Billy. As your Patron, I shall grant your wish.>Cool, I don't want to be the only goat-headed person around!>So you want your head reverted back to human? This can be done->No, I want everyone else in the world to have a goat had as well.>...
>>722554954Just ult your teammates bro
>>722564689I love the range of wishes from "I want my creator to live out the rest of her retirement" to "I want to achieve apotheosis" to "I'm not actually here for a wish, I just like murder".
>>722564427Game should be 100% blue people (or, just obviously and specifically non-natural raced people), 0% white or any other actual raceThere should not be a single normal person of any race, they should all be weird fucked up freaks or literal non-humans, like Viscous, Billy, Bebop, and others
>>722564621Oh no, a game taking time to develop?!?! At Valve of all places??? Get fucked you bozo, so many sad negative losers on this board flooding in from /pol/.
>>722564861no
>>722564931yes
>>722564427>11/32 White peoplewtf I love Deadlock now
>>722564992She seems like a nice lady, would hang out with her and bebop.
>>722564228I really like the sibling dynamic that he has with Paige and her straight up telling Victor to not put on shirt
>>722564898>it's not in development hell>they are just taking their timecope
>>722564427Literal nonhumans are also as many as the black people (I'm counting Ivy, Bebop, Viscous, Dynamo/Billy. The last two are kinda human-coded but they at least count for one).I also personally disagree about calling Haze black. She had literal smoke for her head. Billy has a literal goats head and he still has a clearer ethnicity.
>>722565057And I forgot about Viper lmao
>>722556761>kill credit went to haze
>>722554846>>722555230>>722555830>>722564427I'm still puzzled by why Paige was includedI feel like her design is at odds with the rest of the cast for some reason, almost like she was shoehorned in>t. non-deadlock playerfeel free to disregard my opnion, but I'd like some people to psychoanalyse her art style so I might be able to solve my quandry everytime I scroll past a deadlock thread
>>722564992Well she likes Jazz so it makes sense she'd be a negro
>>722560284Is disingenuous to try and pretend deadlock wouldn't also be tapping into its dota fanbase the same was dota 2 was All Stars.
I tried Mina she seems fun, but holy fuck is she slow moving. How legit a strat is this>Gun-maxx, particularly fire rate, until getting like 150-200 ult bats from love bite procs>Then sell/switch to all purples
>>722565209Compared to the other dark occult stuff, she is a bit bright and cheery. Even Viscous fits in a bit more being a goo thing. That said, bibliomancy being the name for book magic is pretty cool.
>>722559367The only people who care about Roblox are pedophiles and underage children.
>>722565209she's just velma
>>722565209I feel you the guy who did her art and model definitely had a thing for Velma from scooby doo growing up, because I don't mind the character and theme I just wish her outfit was more mystical librarian rather than a member of the mystery gang
>>722560178>it's successful it got 46k players as n invite-only game>ok it's not successful but it doesn't need to be
>>722565209To be fair the rest of the cast is constantly getting redesigned or are no where near finished.
>>722560178This shit's never getting popular, the skill floor is already insane and the skill ceiling even moreso, nobody wants to sit down during their vidya time and get their ass handed to them for 3 straight hours while being confused as fuck trying to figure out what's going on
>>722565209I agree, I feel like she's missing something to better fit in, like an overcoat or a backpack or something. As it is her body outfit seems just a little too simple
>>722565209I don't think her design is that far out from the other heroes with designs that are approaching something final. The game is fundamentally a little wacky.
hero shooters and MOBAs might be the 2 most popular genres of which i can not see the appeal. i tried this game for one round and uninstalled
>>722562730Wraith, Calico, Pocket. McGinnis is an annoying example of how every Heavy-copy now has to be some butch women.
>>722565051>Child doesn't know about Valvemany such cases
>>722555830yeah she's not fat her model size is just 20% larger than normalmaybe more
>>722565412That's why they are adding in more game modes and keeping it invite only so more players can join later on so other skill levels can play and play less complicated modes. You sound bad at videogames so you're trying to justify your anger by pointing it at the game instead of admitting it isn't for you.

>>722565209I know what you mean and that's exactly why her design didn't sit well with me initially, but they needed another green/lime representation besides Viscous, and somebody who's a book magic wielder that isn't the overused Necronomicon trope (who Abrams already has elements of, if ever so slightly).

>>722564303the game doesn't tell you this but billys light melee is so fast he can do two of them in the timeframe of 1 heavy and they don't slow down his movement, this means you can very often bat someone in the middle of them doing an animation they cant parry during aka all of their powersbetween this and people panic parrying in my face, I get away with a lot

I like Victor, a bit emo but also not overly hostile to people and not 100% self loathing. In a world of occult magic, demons and ghosts being an every occurrence, a stitched together corpse isn't too out there.Also, I like how they get the aspect of Frankenstein where the monster is actually pretty handsome if very off putting the longer you look at him with every girl drooling over him.

>>722554846>Shartifact>Underlords>DeadflopWhere did it all go wrong?
>>722567581>be russian>play on eu servers>dont speak english>fly off the handle spamming voicechat with russian insults noone but them understands for the rest of the gameyeah bro, not a problem at allnot a single reason why russian players arent liked, theyre always so respectful, can communicate in english and are levelheaded
>>722554846>play/v/edditors don't play games retard
>>722567641>Mindbroken loser is mad that valve is too big to fail
>Seven's face when Viscous appears in his lane
>>722567675The truth is that it's not Russians who play on EU servers, you just end up on Russian servers because no one plays these games in most of Europe. You're the problem here, go back to Roblox or whatever you're playing there
>>722567752Deadlock isn't too big to fail, lmao
>>722567910the other english speaking players in my team that mute the russian dumbfuck disagree with yousame thing with dota or cs, russians infest online spaces and make them worse because they actually like being miserable and making other people miserabletheyre like indians, but at least these have the decency to learn english
>>722567641tell us which games you think are good
Victor players: How is Gun Victor currently with the change to his ultimate level 3?
>>722568139I have 2k hours in Dota 2 and haven't met any English players in years. I've already played 200 hours in Deadlock and haven't met any English players at all. It's definitely your problem, maybe it's just Ukrainians who moved to Poland or whatever. Trust me, we don't want to play with your kind either.
>>722564992time to give miss shelly a visit
>>722568419Would Drifter spare Ms. Shelly if she made Jambalaya and Gumbo?
>>722568419>Ivy nosells his shtick because she doesn't understand it
>>722568393no you dont understand, russians are so fucking dumb they dont want to play with their own kinddota had one single week where they enforced a region lock and it was glorious because you could actually communicate with real human beings instead of these mouthbreathing retards (real humans on your team vs subhumans on the other)then they spammed all of the steam forums, reddit and 4chan crying every day how this was unfair, how they shouldnt be queued up only with russian speaking players so valve caved and reversed it for some god forsaken reason
>>722554846>game balance is still dogshitmust be guinsoo influnece for dota.
>>722568590to this day I still don't understand why valve caved. Not like those turkish asian rapebabies pay for anything
>>722554846isn't this just another garbage moba like league and dota? whats different? the characters? fuck that shit
>>722568665imagine dota and league with less mechanics and worse balance, that's deadlock.
>>722568529>He doesnt even try with Lash and sounds so done.
>>722568590>>722568648This is the first time I've heard this, I guess we really do have a vocal minority like this.>Not like those turkish asian rapebabies pay for anythingRussia buys more Dota and CS stuff than all of Europe combined, you're a second-class citizen here. Eastern Europe and Asia are the most profitable regions for Valve games
>>722568690>Less mechanicsYou can say a lot about Deadlock but that's absolutely not true. The major thing it lacks is damage type autism and mana.
>>722568812dota and league have more mechanics, though.>inb4 move movement
>>722568715I like that Lash isn't afraid of Drifter, but backs down when Seven threatens him.
>>722568648yup, theyd make way more money keeping this upliterally half my friends quit bec solo-queueing in dota became unplayable in central or western europe thanks to cis troglodytesleague of legends actually forced them on their own dedicated cis server (which is also why i switched to lol for a time) and it worked beautifullyyou can say a lot about lol but it still is more popular than dota even though it has no cis scene, you dont need these people if you want to be successful as a business
>>722568847What mechanics is Deadlock missing? Only things I can think of that doesn't have a Deadlock equivalent is mana, summons and TP/recall.Even something like backswing animations have an equivalent.
>>722568648Nta and I'm not super familiar with Dota matchmaking but isnt the same as TF2? A soft lock you cant get over unless you have a party of mixed countries all trying to search a game?
>>722568929Actually, I forgot something from DOTA and that's creep pulling/camp stacking, but I chalk that up to more the jungle is incomplete currently.
>>722568929buyback, wards, actual jungle, glyphe, talent tree, that's without having stuff like aghanamis or the new dota stuff.
>>722554919valve games tend to just be hives for people who are autistically devoted to getting good at them (except for TF2 most people in that are completely braindead)
>>722569013I just noticed that this a lot more of DOTA's mechanics rather than League's.
>>722565612>give him a ball that obliterates objectives very early on>make him a spirit power carry that barely needs to build for bullets>give him an ultimate that deals tons of damage, shuts down an area and forces the enemy team to invest in situational shutdown items to counter it, meaning less souls spent on more useful itemsWhat did they mean by this
>>722565741Why they keep nerfing Lash
>>722568949no, since the dawn of dota you could queue for any server and russians would just queue for euw, even with the region lock most would simply use a vpn or in deadlock block russian servers with a script to only get connected to eu ones
>Unironic low view montage with slipknot music appeared in my youtube feedWHAT YEAR IS IT?!
>>722569119>even with the region lock most would simply use a vpn or in deadlock block russian servers with a script to only get connected to eu onesrussians are literally the weirdest people on the planet.
>Polish retard complains that he is being forced to play with RussiansYou deserve it.
Just post the fucking Ivy porn.
>>722554846why did they make spirit bebop so shitgun bebop feels like ass
>>722569231its not the polish, its the entirety of western europewhy the fuck do i have to play with ivan from kamchatka that has 250 ping and is screaming insults in russian bec he overextended like a retard?
>>722563557I SEE THE TRUST FUND BABY
>>722569119Kinda dumb they don't enforce some kind of soft lock. Opinions aside Casual makes a great job at keeping a filter so you don't end on the other side of the globe trying to play a round.
>>722568864At the end of the day Drifter is just a crazed murderhobo, Seven is a guy treating real life like a cultivation novel and has thwarted the best and the brightest the world has to offer while being stuck in a supernatural jail cell.I wouldn't fuck with Seven either
>>722569320>why the fuck do i have to play with ivan from kamchatka that has 250 ping and is screaming insults in russian bec he overextended like a retard?Ask ValveI haven't seen anyone shouting into a microphone for like 10 years. In Deadlock especially everyone is chill as fuck. It honestly sounds like your problem.
>>722564386I like to think his little doll was given to him as a child by one of the rare people who treated him kindlyThat said our view of the character probably isn't the canon one given the line>[skill 2] ain't why I turned my head into a goat, but it's a hell of a perk
>>722566682Yes. I deserve to win because I'm better so if you're losing then it must be working
>>722565968don't worry, people are too retarded to even remember that item exists
>>722569730>[skill 2] ain't why I turned my head into a goat, but it's a hell of a perkGood point I guess, its just he has a line saying people wanted him dead since he was in the womb so people are gonna speculate.A lot of fan understanding of characters are gonna be iffy until we see the visual novels. Would billy even appear in any of them? Only Infernus, Ivy, Geist and Holiday are confirmed and I don't see the chances of him appearing in any of them to be likely.
>>722564228>Normally, I would take this time to make you confront your inner demons, but in order to do that, you’d have to be a person with some sort of actual passion and drive, but you’re not! You’re a caricature of outrage, a contrarian who thinks that hating something is the same thing as being interesting. So please leave, you’re dreadfully boring.
>>722570324How do you respond without sounding mad
>>722570324He's literally the average /v/ poster to a T. Indie game getting discussion here? SHILL Popular game getting talked? WOKE DEI GARBAGE KYS Behind every BUY A AD poster there exists a IRL billy.
>>722569171Everyone playing Deadlock is over 28
>>722554846I can’t. Nobody invited me
>>722570304I imagine we'll see stories for every character in the game eventually, even if it takes 5 years like Meet The Pyro did. A lot of lore is up in the air right now due to the game's alpha state.One way to reconcile both takes would be Billy coming from a family of devil worshippers, being planned for something big and eldritch, but he tried to do it by himself as a small child and fucked it up so he just has a goat head. Hated by his family for fucking up all their plans, hated by everyone else for being a weirdo with a goat head, lived with it from such a young age that you get all the trauma of rejection and isolation but also the knowledge that it's nobody's fault but your own.
>>722569584>yesterday I went to Futa Femboy HouseI wish I didn't learn Russian
>That Vindicta line saying to Billy about being a "Good little boy"In context it is condescending, out of context...
>>722570759Billy's a sick fuck who likes a quick fuck if you take his vyper interactions to mean anything so hey its possible
>>722570324Not only calls him a shitter but he's taunting Billy to stay in the hotel.
>>722570413bash his head in
>>722570324>Mina, Mina, Mina. Your future was stolen from you by an assassin’s bullet and replaced with the promise of eternal youth. We both know how well that’s turned out for you. You’re a child, just learning to play a game that others have spent hundreds of years perfecting. You are destined to fail. He's such a blessing for this game. Mina could be a Mary Sue with her backstory but the way other characters treat her, as the spoiled brat with no real world experience that she is, helps ground her
I love the EngineerHow viable is turret/wall mcginnis?
>>722568805>from a country which is getting an evergrowing muslim chechens population
>>722570993Very. Get some health/healing since the turrets have health that scales with Miku herself plus a bunch of spirit items and she is a right royal pain in the ass.
>>722570931What helps most of the characters feel alive is their character interactions imo. Like even Seven, mr demigod in the making will lose his composure upon seeing Viscous>Oh my god its fucking talkingIt just feels... multi-dimensional. The characters are more than tropes and can have very human reactions and stumbles even if they're mr murderhobo mcgee.
>>722570324perfect VA and his first role
>>722571078I like when even Doorman is caught on the backfoot with Geist shit talking the Baroness.Actually, Geist is the best shit talker, her conversation with Paradox is brilliant.
>>722571078Seven in general is an interesting character. He praises Ivy for disrupting a status quo. He treats murder as a consequence or a mean to an end not entertainment. also has asexual tension with Haze>>722571137>backs down when Beebop claps back in frenchShe's so froggy
>>722571027Do people in the West really believe this? The majority of regions are 99% local population, with Muslims mostly only in their home regions and Moscow.
>>722570931Nah he's just a cringelord making 4chan armchair psychoanalyst posts. There's no way Mina hears that she has all the time in the world and doesn't believe she'll come out on top.
>>722571172>Seven in general is an interesting character.Don't forget his grudge with Kelvin. I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume Kelvin did something unforgiveable that caused Seven to eventually become what he is today.Also he has a line implying he did love someone at one point... again not something you'd expect out of what is basically a jojo main part villain
>>722571172The biggest thing for Seven seems to be ambition and people having the means to achieve it. He hates it when people artificially limit themselves despite having all of the power to do what they want, which is why he respects Ivy, she wanted to help and had the means to do so.Makes the edgelord character a bit multi-dimensional, which is funny when Drifter exists and is STILL a fun edgelord character like when he says to Grey Talon that if he was the one to kill his family, he would've made Wesley watch.
>>722570993Good enough just mix it with some gun and speed items so you can rat like no tomorrow. Just don't feed turrets early game and look for an opening to box in super aggressive shitters like Calico or Drifter right under your guardian.
>>722570324For years i was scared that Valve lost their touch, but Deadlock lines convinced me that Valve tier writting never truly dies. The dialogue and the world are so damn good.
>play deadlocktoo latethe soul is already lost
vampire girl is cute
>>722554846No, I will fap to Paige though.
>>722571790Every character in this game can eventually kill you in 3 seconds
>>722565741>
>>722554846the matchmaking somehow got even worse.
>mfw playing Seven earlier today and hearing him calling McGinnis a wage slave
>>722569013Game is already too complicated for new players, no doubt Icefrog would want to add more and more mechanics, but he will wait at least a year after release. I'm still not sure if they should make game more complex or not. I still haven't learned all items myself
>>722571917GET IN THE FUCKING CAGE WAGIE I'M HERE TO BECOME A CELESTIAL BEING OF LIGHTNING
>>722557062I assume anon is talking about this shit
>>722570324everyone shit on billy. Vindicta shits on him a lot as well.
>>722572012I think they are already walking back that one because the forums didn't like it either.I find it kinda funny but it just isn't the same.
>>722571548isn't he adrik>>722571549yeah it's funny he called McGinnis a wagieslave
>>722571976I sometimes wonder how true that since casuals never stick around to games in general, even super "casual" and normie ones for long, and in the end only autists for that particular game remain. Even Mario Kart 8 had this effect, and that game sold like 60m copies.All that casualizing a unique concept does imo is eventually undermine your game's longevity. Hell, Warcraft 3 still has a sizeable playerbase with new players coming in from content creators like grubby or whatever still making new content.
>>722571917>he says to her face that she plateaued as a "genius"seven ahs the sasshttps://youtu.be/1PC-3IeoTnIhttps://youtu.be/IeG5FwwLMfIhttps://youtu.be/pMfRkzBci1Ihttps://youtu.be/Bu0mTSuAoXc
>>722570752Study moreTrue, пpoшeл usually means "walked by" or "walked into" but in context of video games it means "beat"
>>722566340No, you've only IDENTIFIED five. Huge difference. Cheaters don't use hamfisted blatant aimbots anymore; they use things that nudge your crosshair towards other players to show where they are through walls. Streamers use this shit live and no one notices.
>>722564427>I believe Mina is asian from her nameI think she is named after Mina Harker in dracula, not necessarily asian
>>722572125>Who do you think you are to speak to me like that?>Your betterJesus christ Seven you owned her so hard she probably aged like 10 years from that line alone.
>>722566669the worst the player the easier it is to spot them cheatingthe best players are the best cheaters, they know how to use it as a support rather than letting it do all the work for themshooting games are plagued with cheaters, this is a fact most people are unaware of since they have never met professional cheaters
>>722572232I'm bad with the movement verbs and never been exposed to slang
>>722572114>All that casualizing a unique concept does imo is eventually undermine your game's longevity.deadlock has no longevity to undermine, do you think Valve is going to maintain and develop content for a MOBA with less than a 100k players? They barely maintain CS and DOTA
I wonder why the Baxter society has a lot of members that end up dead in Portugal and Denmark.Also, I cannot wait for more Shiv lines, I want to know more about why Grey Talon chose him as a successor and why the other members hate him.
Ivy is shit now bros...
>>722572369>why the other members hate him.I mean he's a vampire monster, of course the people who dedicate their existence to hunting supernatural monsters would find it disgusting to be led by one.I wonder how the Shiv/Priest interactions would sound like?
>>722572369wans't he friend with Drifter?
Warden lore. NOW.
I can't aim for shit, what are the most brain dead characters for me?
>>722572476It's funny that Warden would be John Deadlock if it wasn't for Abrams being the face of the game.
I genuinely do not understand why Valve are making this game. It looks like a phoned in combination of a hero shooter and DotA, games people have been playing for upwards of two decades now.
Bebop is shit now bros...
>>722572114This is something that most people dont talk about, honestly because marketing and the gaming zeitgeist as a whole seems to hate the truth of it.Fortnight and rodblox shit for example stays alive with massive numbers do to a constant influx of kids with phones and crossover shit/brain rot. Meanwhile even the most casual games like CoD have to come out with a new one evey yearAgain marking hates this because it means gamers will buy less
>>722572497Can't go wrong with Dynamo or McGinnis.
>>722571976If a game feels the need to have upfront complexity it's just a badly designed game. The best games are ones where the complexity is emergent while the game pieces are simple. Chess is an incredibly simple game on the surface.
>>722572537Hero shooters weren't mainstream until Overwatch which is only 10 years oldMoba genre has a whopping TWO games in it and they're trying to iterate on the formula>>722572497abams

>>722572497Mo and Krill if you want the both most braindead tank cc character while still being fairly effective.
>>722572657>Moba genre has a whopping TWO games in it?!DotA, HoN, LoL, Smite, Dota 2, probably a shit ton more that died before gaining traction.
>>722572654This. That's why as much as I love dota 2, deadlock is better in that way. There is nothing simpler then putting you in a lane with a firend and saying "shoot the other guys"Deadlock is a insanely simple moba
>>722568929>TP/recall.That's what zipline boost essentially is.
>>722572712Smite is a non-factor and is not worth mentioningHoN, WC3 DotA and Dota 2 are the same gameIt and LoL are the only ones that people play
>>722572537>zoomzoom wants extraction shooters or battle royales
>>722571895the lash is one of the most based characters ever conceived
>>722573048Has anyone made a high-movement extraction shooter? Could such a concept even work or would it be too counterintuitive?
>>722573106Dropped equipment in a movement shooter not contained in an arena sounds like aids.
>>722572537they wanted to make a fun game and did it
>>722572731>just shoot the creeps>then hit some boxes>then shoot the creeps>then farm the jungle>then shoot some creeps>then punch a slot machinemobas are so fucking retarded, lmao. There's a reason only 2 have them have ever been successful
>>722573106Dark and Darker has high-movement tech classes and they've completely broken the game(The dev has a pet class that he refuses to nerf).But otherwise no, I haven't seen anyone else do shit with the genre in the way you're describing
>>722573105Lash is as great as Seven, he clearly plays a heel character
Abrams sounds like a shitty detective the more I hear his interactions.
>>722572476Funny how in any other game they will make Warden a superhero but in Deadlock he's a broken man.
>>722573446IRL private detectives are more like hired muscle rather than some grizzled, wise detective. Him being such a retard that he wastes his wish in the VN is funny however.
>>722554846I'll jerk off to Ivy , Paige, Plapadox, Vindicta, Vyper, and Lady Gyatt , but I aint touching shitty those ASSFAGGOTS elements with a 10 foot pole Gabe.
>>722554846>play deadlockWhy would anyone want to play a MOBA and a shooter at the same time?
>>722554846I kind of want to because she is in it, and she is almost a 1:1 version of my RP waifu. I don't really give a fuck about hero shooters though...
>Say hello to the Spectacular Savannah!>Please welcome the Magnificent Henry!I wish I was better at these twoIt's a nice touch how even though they hate each other, they still introduce each other nicely
>>722573048>Well yeah, our game is dogshit, but at least its DIFFERENT!!!!!Artifact 2Underlords or whatever 2
>>722573664Sinclair is the most unfinished hero as of now, right?The model is almost there but it stills looks a bit offAnd their abilities are really underwhelmingIts a shame because I like the character idea.
Mid-boss and the rejuv are both still way too strong even after the nerfWhichever team gets it first has a ~90% chance to snowball and win the game thereafterBoss should be made weaker so it's more takeable early, and rejuv should be made weaker so it's not so game-winning
>>722573754I would say so yeah. The kit itself I think is pretty fine, I've seen some Sinclaires go nutty by late game.
>>722573754>the mortar is underwhelming
>>722573396>>722573105>>722571895https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tacoa26_V0SEÑOR ABRAMS
>>722573754Yeah I'm pretty certain their model will get a complete overhaul, which is kinda sad because I like the idea of them being two spirits in a possessed mannequin>And their abilities are really underwhelmingTheir abilities are huge impact but hard to aim. Vexing Bolt has some of the highest possible early burst damage, Rabbit Hex is an AoE hard CC, Spectral Assistant gives insane escape potential as well as huge damage magnification, and stealing ults just has a million applications
>>722572731>There is nothing simpler then putting you in a lane with a firend and saying "shoot the other guys"This is like saying "left-click the other guys". Deadlock is more complex than dota. And >>722572654 is describing dota.
>>722573904THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE, also funny because Abraham has Samoan Joe as his VA
>>722554846I will in 1-2 years once it’s time to upgrade to a better prebuilt.>”Whaat!? Pre-Built? You don’t make your own?”Never have and never will!
>>722572497I can't aim as well, I mostly play Calico, Billy, Viscous, Doorman, spirit Ivy and Grey talon(his magic arrows have hitbox size of a train, hard to miss)
>>722573979based lazy cunt, i don't either
Is there an item that you fear once you see it on an enemy?Once I see a high rate of fire hero get siphon I know it's ogre.
>>722562849are you a native english speaker?
>>722573979>being this poor
>>722570993playing mcginnis is so fucking boring, considering the movement and speed of this game, being glued to the floor as a slow machine gun retard is just so unappealing to me
>>722554919There’s mostly no cheaters your just dogshit at the game mijo
>>722574064Are you trying to say that is proper English and not pronoun retardation?
>>722574057Warden when he gets lightning scroll is a sight to behold.
>>722554846I need the game to full release so I can get matched against other shitterstrying to learn deadlock is like trying to get into a decade old fighting game
>>722573952Lash reminds me so much of Steiner
>>722556765No one asked for dota either but it’s goodStop being a petulant miserable faggot cus no woman ever loved u!! Play the fun bideo gaem or don’t !

>>722564427why bother giving a thoughtful answer to cretins ? think about how sad of a life one has to have to obsess over race in a non narrative multiplayer video game Whatever you say they’ve already made up their mind
infernus burn is still fucking bullshit
I hope to god that the modding scene of this game doesn't die, some of the model swaps are genuinely high quality.
>>722574524>All those valve games had way less impression than DL already haswtf does that even mean? it left a bad impression and no one wants to play it. There's more people playing Counter Strike Source than deadlock, LMAO
>>722574852Same, but I'm more here for the gooner skins. 2b Yamato... UGHHH....
>>722574932am so glad you'll never reproduce
>>722554846Paige owes me sex.

>>722574991>the millions of players will come back for the loot cratesmore cope
>>722574896>Autochessdead genre
>>722574896That's not how concurrent player numbers work.iI you check the Steam charts then you can see that Deadlock has more players than the new Digimon game despite the peak concurrent player number being half as much.CS:S isn't even in the top 100.
>>722564621>uninspired >game is literally in a unique setting never been done before in multiplayer (occult early 20th century nyc) Yeah you’re literally just a petulant faggot I was correct. Calling deadlock uninspired is like saying Sydney Sweeney has tiny tits, objectively untrue and says a lot more about the critics’ mental state then it does anything about the game kek This is a big reason why no one can ever love you btw
>>722575164Steam charts fags are retarded and think anything less than 100k daily player = massive failure.
>>722565057Calling haze black is pants on head level stupid
>>722566986Nta, but you are clueless, no game on planet earth other than 2018 classic wow tapped inti the dotard playerbase. Dotards only play dota, period. When the new big thing drops all games lose tons of their current playerbase temporarily, except for dota. Shartifags and dota blunderlords didn't tap into the dotard playerbase and the games are set in the same universe.
>>722565209She’s the first character since shifting their design philosophy to appeal to chuds more going forward they’ll look more like her then other I’d imagine
>>722572012i hope they go with the little fish that controls the body

>>722575578Nah, Haze players take the cake.
>>722575578nah its the m1 playersliterally the easiest shit in the game to play, always uppity with main character syndrome like holding m1 on someone is a hard thing to doworst thing is if somehow a spirit character is being played by them and they exclusively buy gun
>>722575408No one cares about dota's universe, not even dotafags. Dotafags only care about gameplay so deadlock should have been appealing to them.If "dota but as a shooter" is failing to appeal to even the people who liked dota then what chance does it have?
>>722575578THE HOLY FOURSOME OF 0/10 PLAYERS>Shiv>Haze>Wraith>Vyper
>>722575801i know lots of people that quit dota for deadlock, so theres thateven topson quit dota for deadlock, but hes back to dota again since the game needs 1-2 years of dev time to be fully "ready"
>>72256533646,000 players for a game with a silly barrier of entry as this is objectively successful. It’s also top 5 pre owned on steam. Are you just like a disgruntled dota player who’s mad icefrog wants nothing to do with the doto community anymore? Like whats your slant why are you such a faggot about this game lol
>>722575271>dota with guns>inspiredpick one
>>722565412The second most popular game on steam is even more complicated and strategic than this it doesn’t seem to impede its success You just might be a brainlet zoomer getting filtered
>>722575870>>VyperReally? Most Vyper players I know are meme lords that try to get the most slide time.
>>722565473why do people openly post their Ls like this You are tacitly admitting to being too unintelligent for them kekO
>>722576039Might be a low elo thing but I never see them do wellSimilar thing with Wraith. I got a wraith lane buddy three times in a row and they each lost me lane and never hit their supposed power spike.
>>722575743At least Haze players dont pause the game and scream at you when you rotate to help his 0/5 ass. For real what's wrong with Shiv players?
>>722575998which game is inspired for you
>>722575924>46,000 players for a game with a silly barrier of entry as this is objectively successful.3.6 million players. 46k is absolute dogshit.
>>722576243dota without guns
>>722573979I used to build my own, but I just do prebuilts now. Only builders that use off-the-shelf parts though, and list everything that they are using.
I'm about 80% sure that most people on this thread are mad that deadlock is to hard for them
>>722574663you didn't answer the question...
>>722576160Wraith is the ultimate noob trap in the game. She rapes low elo but gets shit on more and more as skill rises, since she is a dogshit mid game hero
>>722576531/v/ just wants things to fail. When you got shit takes like "hurr Haze is black so it's Dei" you know it's just a bunch of grumz fans
>>722576681I think its more of a question of>Can the wraith player farm effectively and hit their powerspike as fast as possibleSadly the average wraith player has zero braincells so even asking them to clear jungle is a hard sell.
Flopping tranny deadcock.
They should increase the size of Paradox's hurtbox.
>>722576786Which takes ALOT of farm. Wraith is also a hero that benefits from more organized teams pushing together, which most people won't do.

>>722572114Casualness is just multiplayer games returning to their roots, a lot of old competitive games would be a lot less fun if the developers balanced for the 0.1%. It's fine for a game to lose its playerbase over the years, the efforts of trying to avoid this have made a lot of games incredibly abusive or unfun with the amount of stimulating mechanics they have to keep prodding players with to get them to play to maximize the active playerbase. Quake and Unreal Tournament used to have huge playerbases (comparatively speaking) back in the day and then people simply stopped playing them and still remember them fondly, maybe getting into occasional games because they're still fun and they haven't sabotaged themselves by pandering non-stop to tryhards.
>>722575408I am a dotard and my most played games in recent times areDota, Dominions 6, Dwarf Fortress and now some deadlock. Not sure why I play all the D games but there it is. I did also play 2019 classic wow but have long since quit again
>>722577448Yeah they're all kinda shit. We need the industry to actually make something based for once but it sure as hell isn't going to be an assfaggots.
>>722577450Unreal Tournament absolutely could have continued as a niche competitive game if Epic hadn't ritualistically sacrificed it out of pure lazyness.
>>722577614gaays are creative. that’s why many of them work in the industry. thay are not the problem
>>722565209I get what you mean. Everyone else in the cast is some kind of pulp, occult, noir, or of the era. Meanwhile, Paige is just a generic bookworm that doesn't really draw back to anything, and it sticks out a bit more because she's hot; not solely because she is, but because it reinforces the idea that she's someone's pet character that kinda got forced in. I'd even go as far as to say--while still being an understandable one--her motivation for participating in the Ritual is a bit on the weaker side, although I only say so because it's still not clear just how deadly the Ritual is and what the ramifications of it will be (since many like Dynamo seem to imply they'll still be walking away at just an "aw shucks" level of disappointment and living if the other Patron is summoned).>>722565271Yeah, for as silly as Viscous is, it's contrasted by his entire character beinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ksj7ioUZT3o
>>722567675>noone but them understandsSooner or later you will understand.
>>722578187Legit gays are. Not the "I put gay/autistic/trans in my twitter bio for e-points" kind of gay though
>>722554846Reminder that this woman wants to fuck the walking corpse man
>>722579473Least degenerate white woman.
>>722567675Russians are annoying because they cheat so much. Just take a look how long it takes for them to take Ukraine.
>>722579473Every female character seems to, it’s a joke mostly but especially with Paige because she spills her spaghetti so hard Victor just ends up weirded out more than anything>Please never put on a shirt>*audibly offput* Uh… okay..?
>>722577184Ruining Battlefield 6 wasn't enough? That freak's out to kill Deadlock, too?
>>722563645It's this >>722563629Much more noticeable in game. Her head has a very strange shape and her haircut makes her look completely bald except for a little patch on the back of her head where the afro-knot thing is.She honestly is just ugly unfortunately
>>722567675>Russian getting really mad I’m behind souls wise>when the entire map has been farmed out completely for 20 mins straight>went to farm multiple times and got kept getting jumped by 3 people that willingly used their ults in a broom closet against one person>best escape plays of my 100+ hoursthe fuck am I supposed to do Rooskie? I hit a vending machine and Infernus - Haze - Bebop popped ults, do I stay for 200 souls + small stat boost? Keep screaming into your 10 Rubel mic like I’m supposed stay in that killbox I’m sure that’ll help
>>722577184>target audiencename a single (1) online game without gays or hackers
>>722568715Probably since Lash is playing a character and so is Drifter, speaking with Lash was probably a moment of both embarrassment and self reflection, Just; “Damn I sound like this?”
>>722582089I dunno when someone is angry at me I try to troll them so they screech and cry even more. My mic is 500 rubles, not 10 btw
"Choose character"No one is FUN to play, I guess I'll play Wraith again...
>>722584061I wanna play mo but the early is aids
>>722584061>nobody is fun>plays Wraith??????
>Drifter>50/50 he says something Russian or drops a sieg heilWhat is it about this character that attracts such creatures?
>mobanope
>>722584309In what other games I get stronger character than my opponents by playing well?
>>722562553>DEIYou're thinking of Apex, Valorant and Overwatch.
>>722584223she is the only that's tolerable, but let's be real no one is like FUN FUN to play
>>722574852lol, lmao even.Buy hats and overpriced skins.
>>722584796most of them
>>722584975all her shit is just holding left click on a single targetreworked vyper is more fun as a dakka hero
I don't find gun heroes or gun-meta patches fun.We're deep into a gun-meta patch.I'm just gonna take another 3 month break.
>>722584293>Seven>50/50 he says something about the recent shit he has taken or calls someone a nigger
>>722584975Dude, Wraith is one of the most boring ass heroes of the whole cast this anon >>722586797 is right>no one is like FUN FUN to play>Lash>Ivy>Doorman>Viscous>Billy>Sinclair>>722586991I should play more M.A.S.S but I suck at decals.
>>722586991Game is always shit during gun metas, time for a lil break.
>>722584975>no one is like FUN FUN to playsomeone never picked the lash

>>722559367I'm neither a preschooler nor a pedophile, so I don't give a shit about roblox
>>722590489I hate your soul.
>>722554846It's really boring to play with/against the same couple meta heroes every gameBring the number up to 80 or so and ban the hazes and the sevens
>>722590489GOD YES
>try so hard to not be awful at this game>yet every time i load into a match i feel my iq drop to below temperature levels and i just do abysmal all game every gamei really like this game but its very discouraging when every match i play awfuleven my friends stopped inviting me to play...
>>722573849Sinclair's ult is scary as fuck>jump into team fight>fight is going bad, only a well executed ultimate can turn the tide in our favor>suddenly hear a "whizziziz" of Haze, "ding ding ding" of Lash, or thunderclaps of Seven's ult>they're on your team so victory is guarante-->but their ults are still on cooldown...>Sinclair on enemy team>mfw
>>722554846no, and certainly not with that fucking forced troon meme you just posted
How do you tell your team your ult is ready?
>>722595929Viscous hard counters SinclairIt's funny watching them try to control the goo
>>722597328I simply use the morphogenic field that connects all Aryan men to telepathically communicate my plans to them.
>>722597328ping your ability icon just like items or the other non ult abilities
>>722563928>Tri-StateI stay away from the cheap motels
>>722572526Its his gun, its some wacky slow machine gun that doesnt feel like it fits his design, unlock the revolver shotgun Abrams usesat this point mina and the doorman are more faces though
>>722597328Middle mouse button on your ability.It's used for a lot of commands like "Careful (ally)", "I see (enemy)", "Ability is on cd/ready", and "Enemy has (item)". Didn't know how important it is because my mouse's button was busted until I got a new one.

>>722554846I do. I'm waiting for Venator and more decent Paige porn.
>>722597595can you cast sinclair abilities when you copy visc ult maxed?
I only play games I don't have to think to play
>>722598842I don't know, Ive only ever played viscous
this game is hell for new players. worse than my new dota experience although that was 13 years ago.
>>722599624doorCHAD does it again
Bump.
Has there been tourneys yet?Game seems like it'd be a fucking mess to try to cast/spectate
>>722555230>>722565209Mei at homeBase deadlock designs are unpalatable
>>722601501paige mogs mei's fat ming lee ass
>>722601436There's a weekly "defend your championship belt" thingSpectators usually follow "initiator" characters like paradox, since they usually start fights by grabbing people
>>722570675honestly billy probably has nice normal parents and he's just an asshole for no reason
>i see the goat>billy's here>there's the goat>I SEE WILLIAMgeist is funny as fuck with her posh shit
>third match>still have no idea what I'm doing>roll abrams>all I need to do is bonk people with my punch and suddenly 50% of their health disappears>somehow blunder my way into top kills/damageIt can't be that easy, can it?
>>722602796wait till you get parried like a bitch
>>722602912But I was parrying the enemy billy like a bitch instead
>>722602962what i'm saying is that melee becomes a mind game against people who know that parry exists
>>722601501it's Velma at home you retardthe only similarity with Mei is that she's a woman with glasses
how do I not die to billy when he gets on top of me
>>722601501>Mei at homeSo still a 9/10. Mei is off the charts.
>>722577184>espectadores
>>722603501buy Return Fire and try to parry when he's running out of ammo because he will do a light melee at some point. All guns make a sound when they're about to run out of ammo, listen for that.
>>722603501vault a window or try and bait him into running into a wall
