>new leaked Yamato modelTHEY FUCKING RUINED OUR AYYLMAO BROSITS FUCKING OVER
>>723600005Holy fucking SEX
>>723600005She looks like chinese racist stereotype now, lel
>>723600005I like the face but the clothes could be betterGood start thoughAlsp damn nigga thats HUEG hat
>>723600005no bare wapanese doll featureless pussy = no buy
>>723600005better but the huge ass hat looks fucking retarded and doesn't fit the asian style at all
>>723600005Mina saved this game
Looking good unc
>>723600502>huge hat doesn't fit the asian style at allhuh?
>>723600925Yeah thats what I immediately thought lmao
>>723600005She's cute.
>>723600005I like how this still means she could have a really long head
Never forget what they took from us, /v/.
>>723600005Carmen Sandiego
>>723600925isn't it the shape of korean hats
Glad they're ditching the ball patrons and making each side unique, but also disappointing we're getting this stuff leaked instead of as a surprise when it's ready
>>723600005Huge downgrade over the concept designs, what were they thinking?
>>723601136hats in lootcrates that require keysthat's what they were thinking about
>>723600005What the fuck I want to have sex with her now
>>723600005Lol will it help the player count actually grow>>723601136that was before the game got leaked to everyone the biggest what if for the game is if it didnt get leaked whole different direction the game would be in
>>723601091her head got cut in half
>>723600005Is this really how yamato looks now? Did valve changed her abilities also?
>>723600005SOULLESS>>723601093SOVL
>>723600925different hat, retard. Shit looks more like a gay cowboy hat
>>723601437no because it's still a leaked unfinished versionthere hasn't been a major update yet since the august one where Ivy got updated
>>723601421she's wearing the hat to hide her forehead reduction surgery scars.
>>723601590why did they kneel to the sex perverts and make her hot?
>>723601421TALL KEKS LOSTWIDE CHADS WON BIGLY
>>723601116Nice, looks good. The ball shit was gay as fuck
>>723600005https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhSbxmAfoTA
>>723601136that's gonna be 1% chance lootbox skin
>>723601116Big King in Yellow vibes
carmen sandiego lookin ass
>>723601665/v/ be:>fucking dei scum making everything uglybut also:>why did they kneel to the sex perverts and make her hot?
>>723601253as if not having a hat ever stopped valve from selling alternate headgear
>>723600143no she doesn't, you have no clue what you are talking about
>>723600005Why are Western games suddenly allowed to have moderately attractive characters again?
>>723601136The huge hat makes for a more recognizable silhouette.
why is this game not out yet?what's with the long ass beta?
>>723602472/v/ doesn't want to hear it but the real answer is that most of Valve is all hands on deck for HLX.
IWILLNOWPLAYYOURGAME
>>723602326Stop noticing
>>723602472Valve is the slowest AAA developerthey have indie-sized teams, no deadlines and playtest vigorouslyTF2 took 9 years in development when they didn't have infinite steam money despite being a simple game
>>723601136This concept is waaaaaaaaaaaaay better
DEIflop
>>723600005She cute. More importantly, please please please let the ssex snek be be next.
>>723601093To be fair they will 100% have an ayylamo cosmetic as one of the first things they put out. Same with giving Warden a cop look whenever they decide whatever the hell hes supposed to look like
>>723600005Nice still not playing this dead game kek
>>723600005sex
>>723602230You finally learn the 40% of the board is just kids who dont stand for anything picking random stuff to hate on to get (you)s
>>723601421Literally what the fuck were they thinking with left that shit makes SF5 Fang look like a normal person
>>723600005That hat is not japanese at all.Heck, her entire outfit is more like koreans than japanese.
>>723600005Mina MOGS this hag im afraid
>>723602781Supposedly 8 remodels are coming in january. Her yamato and warden are garunteed to be amongst them.
>>723601136That huge hair is a nightmare to make look good in 3D
>>723602995>>723600005>Valve saw how popular Mina was through sheer force of cuteness alone>immediately pivots into panderingkek
>>723602981Well, she was made for an entirely different game and setting, among other things
>>723602995mina should have been white. I like asian girls but vampires are just better as whites
>>723602981Neon prime was allnover the place in terms of character design and Yamatos original idea was that she was literally a weeb alien.
>>723602897People said the same thing about arc warden for years since he was a furry in dota 1 and it never happenedNow in deadlock they have to keep hitboxes in mind for skins as well
>>723601093fucking coomers ruining everything...
So what is the unifying art direction in this game? Is there a premise?
>>723600005this looks like wraith with her skin turned white
>>723603185Im sure a weird head instsd of a big hat would be doable wothout fucking the hitboxes up
hello i am browisng the wiki right now...does anyone know which company or wiki type they're using? i like how it replicates the wikipedia with no ads...
>>7236032871930s-1970s New York occult noir mishmash
>>723603287Occult 60's noir
>>723600005The mod design is better than this
>>723603287early 20th century new york in an alternate history where the supernatural has been integrated into society
>>723601116Im curious how this change will affect the end game.
>>723603520Damn, they should make an sandbox RPG similar to VTB in this art style. Would be fun. I just want more games with an interesting world to explore.
>>723600502it's traditionalhttps://taiko-shop.com/products/ichime-kasa-hat-3133
>>723603645Same but we got a fucking ASSFAGGOTS instead
>>723603498Fucking ewww
>>723603391>60's
>>723603498anachronistic
Deadlock is so ass bros
>>723602251nigga hats are a colloquial term for any cosmetic itemhow old are you?
>>723601093This model was always garbage.
>>723604040t. shitter
>>723600005her alien model has more potentiel background story about yamato, having a occult theme with alien would have appeal - but, i guess asian qt will do
>>723601136This doesn't fit the games aesthetic at all. The OP design works.
>>723603498Last time I checked, the guy who made the mod was a valve contractor. He might had something to do with the redesign in the op
>>723604087NOOOOOO YOU DON'T LIKE MY THIRD PERSON MOBA IT MUST BE BECAUSE YOUR BADkill yourself my man
looks better but I don't like the hat being that big but I get what they're going for
>>723603498she looks too modern, dosent fit the theme
>>723600005kung lao ass bitch
>>723600005I like how this tricks me into thinking that Yamato has big tits.
>>723604214looks like I hit the nail on the head
i got the last (you) i won the argument
>>723603838Thereabouts, yeah
>>723604016>anachronisticThey already fucked up the aesthetic with Billy and Lash.
I hope we get the shotgun priest soon
>>723600005>leave the doorman to me
>>723604456What the fuck is that real?
>>723604551yes but it's old as shithe has a rifle, shotgun, and swaps to a crossbow that shoots wooden stakes
>>723604456>PunisherReal subtle Valve
>>723603529leak says final battle is always a "control point" style thing, cant hurt it while while enemy players hold the point, you have to stand on it while shooting the patrion, patrion fights back more ect ect
they should make the ASSFAGGOTS free of yugoslavians before "fixing" models
>>723601590why people wanted to fuck her so much to the point that even valve conceded?
>>723604456>WHO IS THIS? ANOTHER LIFE TO SAVE?
HYPER CASUAL ARAM GAME MODE CONFIRMEDWE FUCKING WON DEADTARDS
>>723604551it's in the super special secret club alpha-alphaor whatever its called
>>723603645how about a card game....? With voice acting and hours of lore per set!
>>723604740Laughing at the nigger who was bitching about DL getting casual modeslmaaoooo get fucked
>>723604740Yeah this game is gonna be big
Have they added a fucking reason to play yet? cosmetics, drops, crates, anything? Or is it still cope about "muh fun is the fun! I like playing to play!"
>>723604376nothing about it feels reminiscent of the 60s. it's a hodgepodge of 30s-50s, possibly even 20s, with the occasional outlier like billy.>>723604420>lash?? he's a strongman or boxer or some shit
>>723604740>random itemsHOTPOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>723604850pre-redesign lash could've fit the aesthetic (if you didn't hear him talk like a millennial)
>>723602579you're telling me that /v/ lies and baits for attention?
>>723604456>>723604551a player from the REAL playtest got mad a buthurt and started leaking things like this , >>723600005and >>723601116Note that even the thing's he's leaking are a few months behind, like how venator and yamato's colors look a bit flat ect
>>723604456WE WON
IMFUCKINGBROOOOOOOLING
>>723604456Why does Venator get three guns
I'm kinda sick of massive patches that change the game entirelyThat's what killed Dota for me. Shit is unrecognizable from the game I loved.
>>723605205because he doesn't use magic, only purity of lead
>>723605205if we go by the leak, his main gimmick weapon switching and his ult is a crossbow that pins people to walls and shit
>>723605205he's human man 2 electric boogaloo (the sequel to Lash)
>>723601582Japs love cowboy shit, retard.
>>723605147Finally an excuse to push through all my dogshit meme builds
>>723605356current kit is molotov, bear trap, double barrel, and crossbow
New patron designs too. Goodbye face balls
>>723600143dumb fucking beaner
>>723605602>>723605602huh I did not hear about the molotov anywhere. Neat.
>>723604740>Roguelite aram versionSo that's why they brought Hopoo for this.
>>723604456AMEN
>>723605285Legit kinoI love that the priest gets zero divine powers and just MOGS everyone with his equipment
>>723604456I don't usually care about macho male characters like this but he looks so fucking cool.
>>723604775VALVE ABANDONED ARTIFACT IT WAS A GAME I DONT REMEMBER THE COPYPASTA it was still a fun albeit sweaty game, shame about everything elsealso if any devs are lurking here make that shit moddable already
>>723600005>made her a round headRuined.
>>723602985The game takes place in 40's NY, we got a goat dressed as a punk, she can wear any stupid hat she likes, fuck off
>>723606381one anachronistic character doesn't mean it's ok to continue down a slippery slope of more anachronistic characters that muddy and devalue the setting
>>723602985>>723606460That doesnt look like a gook hat at allIts like a fedora but comically widebrimmed because MUH SILHOUETTES
>>723602230>shitlib tries to make some that looks good in their fucked up up-is-down and trans-is-beautiful mind and it ends up being visually abhorrent>vs a skilled artist makes a character based on an artstyle meant to be ugly enough to scare demons away and it grows on people since that's the basis of her entire characterApple and oranges you intentionally dense retard. I'm gonna play gatcha games but if they put anime girls in a 40k game I'm not fucking playing it. Strictness of style in art is not a crime.
>>723606460The fuck are you talking about? It' not anachronistic at all. She went to NY, found a nice 5 dollar hat and wore it
>>723604309NO YOU DISAGREE WITH ME THAT MUST MEAN I'M RIGHT
>>723606579it's likely unfinished anyway. her pants just look like wraith's. her hat also looks like wraith's with the brim stretched out
>>723600005holy sex>>723601093I won't miss this
>>723600005I just can't bring myself to like deadlockIt feels like the sweatiest parts of dota combined with the sweatiest parts of an FPS and then painted in an unappealing aesthetic that's clearly some random dev's obsessive worldbuilding hobby project given fundingOverwatch and TF2 had the advantage of being casual and approachableDota had the advantage of having a very appealing style and being built off of an already popular game/franchiseDeadlock feels like what happens when a cult hit gets funding but it was never actually a hit
>>723607005trvke so ugly
>/v/ pretending they liked penishead yamatoreally?
>>723607005if you don't like deadlock's setting you genuinely just have incurable shit tasteyou can dislike the dota shit all you want but the setting is unbelievably good
>>723600005Oh no, how terrible!
>>723601421tourist here, what does her head crit box look like for the first model?
Why does she look middle aged now
>>723607145thisthe zeitgeist of 30s-50s america is kino
>>723607248It's the size of her head, but there are much larger head hitboxes in the game so it's no big dealThere aren't one-shot headshots in this game.
>>723607070>/v/ pretending they like deadslop
>>723607145The setting is kind of neat but it's also - how to put thisYou know how everybody says "Ugh more elves in a forest I hate elves in a forest"?They're lying shitheelsEverybody loves elves in a forestA game like Dota had existing archetypes you could latch on toIf you ask a random person "What's your favorite fantasy archetype" they'll give you some generic thing that you know ofIf you ask them "What's your ideal noir eldritch magepunk protagonist" they'll look at you like you're marginally insane and ask you to clarify what the fuck you're on aboutI'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying it has a lack of immediately relatable appeal; It's too niche a setting, and that's not good for an online game that needs a ton of players to be successful
I hope someone makes a Ryoshu mod for her one day
>>723607438>I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying it has a lack of immediately relatable appeal; It's too niche a setting, and that's not good for an online game that needs a ton of players to be successfulYou are dumb bro.Deadlock is already more appealing than most of its contemporaries.
>>723601665>>723602230>>723602972>>723606672all me btwkill niggers
>>723604740What is a ARAM?
>>723601421
>>723607438well i mean that's actually a fair point, the setting is pretty unfamiliarbut every even mildly popular setting had to start as an unfamiliar setting right?we'll have to see if it's good enough to carry onwards besides that, because i think it really is fucking great, i'm interested in the game doing well because of the setting more than anything i just think it's so unique
>>723607715instead of lanes or farming it's just both teams fighting
>>723607715all random all mid
>>723600143literally every valve character is a stereotype, thats been their comedy for like 25 fucking years
>>723607715'all rapists are male' a misandrist dogwhistle.
>>723607425is this an entirely different character? spoon feed me the ayy lmao oval head
>>723600005Whats with the Korean hat? Shes Japanese.
>>723607715All random all mid, means there's only one lane that all 10 players BROOOOL in
>>723606308artifact was unironically really interesting but some magic the gathering autists at valve decided to blow it up with the most retarded monetization as possible
>>723601116Damn, thats a Patron? Thats sick looking.>>723601920Amber Hand best hand for a reason.>>723603160I agree generally, but I think this ones an alright twist. She fits it well.
>>723605685Anything for the other one? I know her title is the city mother since thats what doorman calls her
>>723608129>City Mother>her icon looks like head of the statue of libertyUHHH BROS????
>>723607959I was lazy and didn't want to open the clientshe has a proportionally small head so the hitbox is average compared to other characters
>>723602326they saw the money Marvel Rivals made
>>723600005>We want the Kpop Demon Hunters audience
>>723604456the second he clashes with drifter
>>723604674it'd be cool if the top fragger could control the patron but that's a total pipe dream and departure from the current game
>>723602326metoo movement stopped being the current thing during covid, games coming out now started development around that time
>>723608378funny you say that, drifter is one of the few characters that has voice lines with himhttps://deadlock.vlviewer.com/Games/Deadlock/DeadlockAugust22025/Audio/drifter_kill_priest_03.mp3
>>723607715>>723607970you guys remember when valve tried this with dota and it was 10v10 or whatever, popularity lasted like a month
>>723602326why are you pretending like valve ever cares about what's happening in the current cultural climate
>>723608914All the alt gamemodes in dota were tucked behind menus in the arcade where you had to manually form lobbies instead of just clicking them on the main menuSucks, I wish you could play overthrow or colosseum with matchmaking but they only cared about them as examples for the level editor. This mode is being integrated before the game even releases so it's not the same situation.
>>723608914This works better for a third person shooter because hero shooter fags are more open to casual modes
>>723607970Why are mobafags mindbroken by having a different mapI don't play mobas but I can't imagine playing one map forever and ever, sometimes for fucking decades. Shouldn't there be a variety? To test player skills in different environments? To make different characters and strats shine and change up balance? For fun?
>>723600005Cadence seems neat so i hope shes in the next hero set. Shes definatelynhave naga sirens ult and hopefully they make her Abrams big
>>723601590>no because it's still a leaked unfinished versionthis is how she's going to look, retard.
>>723608914It would directly compete with Overwatch and the like and act like a foot in the door to the MOBA mode for those who dare brave the other side.
>>723609568that's what people said about cat ivyand then they changed her due to feedback, because it's an experimental playtest subject to change
>>723609710Ivy was like the most well-received character in the game
>>723600005glad to see the faggot cuckold gen-x + pajeet millennial with erectile dysfunction take the knee cause they so desperately want their trash to catch on. it's always nice to see garbage eat their words, ideas, and desperation. the best part is this trash is never going to actually be popular or good and after they were made to desperately appeal to the male gaze they will still not succeed.
>>723609710She lookd very cheesed with herself
>>723609820Hop off your computer for a bit little bro
>>723602326because the faggot gen-x cuckold developers see all their loser friends getting fired and know they'r next if they make another complete flop so they have to appeal to the male gaze instead of trying to give men the middle finger.there's too much competition and free games which are actually way better than the trash gen-x erectile dysfunction faggot developers make
>>723609853you lost nafotroon cuckold
>>723600143Retard
>>723609953How so? Things are going back to the way they were when i was young.
>>723610032your erectile dysfunction isn't going back and your failure of a life that's being refuted by the reality in front of you isn't going back.your years lost being wrong isn't going back. you lost :^)btw, it's going to get much much worse pretty soon so you're going to lose even more.
>>723604740wow I might play this actually
>>723610115Your a funny kid. Dont let them medicate you.
>>723604740>roguelite aramHuh????
>>723610517The lead developer of risk of rain 2 and his team were hired by valve now make up half of the team behind deadlock.
>mfw the late january is when they''ll be adding the new heroes>have to participate in the voting process as well
>>723609501They should make her bigger than Abrams. Make her the biggest
>>723600005I don't love the hat, and it looks nothing like any of the concept art designs which sucks. I'm guessing htey couldn't get the long hair going all over the place to work well>>723604456>Frank Castle goes vampire huntingthe flak jacket with the priest collar is sick but I don't love the rolled up sleeves. it's clearly WIP though so whatever
>>723601116Sapphire Flame bros...Amber Hand is mogging us...
>>723610751that's some random faggot on twitter's prediction, it could be as early as next tuesday
Vindicta doesn't get enough love from fansthose lips are driving me crazy
>>723600005I will now play Yamato
>they drop Priest on ChristmasHow kino would that be?
>>723600005MOMMY
>>723607887Woke winsChud winsthat is why valve is so powerful, they can pander to both sides.
>>723600005She's not hideous anymore, so that's a start. Jesus fuck the initial model was a horror show.
>>723601421I thought Yamato was a weeaboo alien.
Grey Talonbros...Were the only one left...
>>723611816there aren't supposed to be aliens in the setting, her model was vestigial from a different scifi game
>>723609710Thank god they didn't do that design.
>>723600143she's wearing the Tom record hathttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGk4E9ss95s
>>723611376All random, all mid. One lane, all players get random heroes.pretty popular in league, dunno about dota
>>723611860Oh so we can have vampires, a goatman, and a sentient ball of goo but the greys are too farfetched?
>>723611840Talon has a version they're working on in the filesBebop, Shiv, Viscous, Krill, Paradox, Vyper, Warden, Sinclair, Kelvin and Calico are all still in line
>>723612243Why'd they make him Japanese?
>>723604456that's pretty cool
>>723612243Looks way too intense for the exhausted old man performance the VA gives.
>>723611976aliens aren't real
>>723600005ching chong sandiego
>>723612243Sans eye.
>>723612243GIVE HIM INDIAN HAIR
How much longer til the game releases?
>>723612665more than 1 year
>>723612243>native american>has facial hair>is bald
>>723612687Didn't the alpha get released LAST YEAR?
>>723611017Her backstory is boring and "flying sniper" gameplay exists in a dozen other hero shootersCant wait until priest gets added and she lectures him six different ways
>>723612720it was opened last year yeah, but they weren't at all ready for players, and definitely not as many as they got. it's been steady progress since but slowly. last major update was 6 polished characters the rest of the roster doesn't really have, so it's an interesting look at how things will be in the far off future
>>723609924Work in the industry, can tell ya you are 100% on the money. All my leads are gen x and they are hot garbage at dev work, beyond that they get the final say in any decision. So when you guys on here complain about woke shit, those decision come from the top old heads. Thankfully Zoomers can not get into industry, its closed little billy, lol get fucked.
>>723612720it wasn't intended to be released, it was leaked and they wasted 6 months of dev time on damage control and weekly balance patches before going back to regular development
>>723611017>>723612770Vindicta already got more than enough love when the game first leaked
>>723612289anon...injuns are asian
>>723600005The black woman of Valve unoriginality.These are TWΟ different characters
>>723612971When they do eventually get to and update their models are you going to do us all a favor and deadlock yourself?
>>723613112Fuck updating they should just make Calico a brown egyptian and not a niggress
>>723613112they're adding artifact to deadlock as a hideout activity and when it comes out i think this retard might unironically neck himself
>>723601093the most out of place dogshit model in the game, good riddance.
>>723613112this>>723612971what evidence is there that haze is black anyway? She has thin lips and doesn't mention her race anywhere.
>>723609348Autism.I agree with you, though. The best part of HotS was having a bunch of different maps. That and a bunch of whacky bullshit characters (like Lost Vikings, Cho and Gall, Abathur, Murky, and Deathwing).
>>723613382The proof she is black is that I said so, so it's true okay?
>>723608230>sapphire flame is an american goddess>amber hand is a native american folk godKINOOOOOOO
>Minaa HaaaaaaaaaIt's sad how her appearing in way too many games as a mocap actor made everyone forget how good she is as VA
>>723614279>everyone forget how good she is as VAthe very first match i played debra wilson said a 3 word voice line and i immediately recognised her voice because all she can do is middle-aged black woman with a sassy jive or raspy flick
>>723613958>native Americanretard, Cernunnos spits on you
I find it really ironic this board was shitting on sweet baby inc for so long yet they literally are the designers of these characters
>>723602995>boring pedobait Sexy hag is better.
>>723614614Source: asssweet baby inc did some consulting for valve. nobody knows what that actually entailed.
>>723612868now that she got redesigned, she needs moreI am dying over here
>>723614279>mouse over>a ghouli got spooked
I have 400 hours in this game and I still think it's such a shame that such interesting character designs, world and lore are utterly wasted on a fucking MOBA. I honestly can't believe Valve is wasting their time on this shitty microtransaction steam market season pass vehicle. I was so hyped for Vlave finally making single player games again after Alyx.
>>723614886theyre adding more modes than just moba anon.......
>>723600005>HMM what characters should i make for this game>I know! i'll make a samurai archetype character!>But samurai can't be NOT japanese without backlash and I need to tick DEI boxes>I know! Japanese wamen!>Blackrock bux securedNAME ME ONE NEW IP FEATURING SAMURAI IN THE LAST 5 YEARS THAT HASN'T DONE THIS.I AM SO FUCKING TIRED OF SEEING THIS SHIT.>>723604456>OSRS brings "Venator" back into the lexicon after it not being mentioned in media for unknown decades>Handful of games using it as a character and weapon nameIt means hunter. there are effectively a thousand synonyms for hunter. this practice is incredibly cringe in the abstract, but the word sounds cool and obscure.
>>723614773It was featured on the website as consulting for character designs a little before Deadlock came out.
>>723602326rivals showed how big the market is for simply having hot characters
>>723601136>people think Tumblr art is deadlock concept art
>>723607553Me too but I also want a Kurokumo mod
>>723614915No matter what modes they add this game exists to sell skins, battle passes, crates and all other cosmetic shit. Fuck that.
>>723614614Yeah and a lot of the early designs they worked on before Valve stopped working with them (and entirely changed the premise of the game) are total dogshit. Some of them are still in the game and people still complain about them because they haven't been updated/fixed, yet.
>>723600005I like her but I don't like adding more goonbait for autistic retards to feed with like paige and mina
>>723614614They were right thoSweet Baby was involved with Neon Prime which had DOGSHIT designs
>>723615021guhhh... sniffed my screen
>>723600005Carmen Sandiego looking bitch
>>723614279i wish i didn't read this postruined the patron for me
>>723615091who are these niggas meant to be?
>>723615186Mcginnis ViscousLady Geist.I'm shitting you i have no idea who any of them are meant to be if even they made the transition to Deadlock
>>723615091why does sweet baby inc like stress hormone bodies?The fat women they design are often a result of long term cortisol to a point it gives the girls menopause symptoms at 20. Its such a strange unhealthy design
>>723607553Go back to your containment thread
>>723615091dynamo, geist, and either haze or wraith iirc
>>723600005>face is better>everything else looks worseGive her a jiangshi skin.
>>723615186>>723615301DynamoGeistWraith
>>723615435>dynamoTHAT'S A DUDE?I guess I can see wraith what with the not-tommy gun. I thought Geist would have been a funnier option.
>>723614614To be kinda fair yes, but it was not Sweet Baby it was Campo Santo those fags from Firewatch? I think forgert the name of the game, the one walking sim with a park ranger.I mostly remember those cocksuckers because they went around banning people in Dota who shittalk them or teammates who played badly until Icefrog and higher ups caugh wind of the idiot abusing employees power.>>723614886Visc design is so perfect. I dont think they should change him too much even if its just a reskinned Kelvin model, maybe change some slight details, a new gun and add the actual Anemone in his fishbowl head.
>>723612774>>723612813So on a scale from 1 to 10, what are the odds they got a trailer lined up at The Game Awards? I'd assume from that leaked cutscene of McGinnis is that they're gonna do mini Meet the Team trailers for each character?
>>723615623about 1
>>723615427>everything else looks worseLMAO
>>723615623Zero
>>723614279I THOUGHT IT WAS ELLEN, WOW!
>>723614279>"I WANT THAT FUCKING GOAT!"
>>723601421Lmao
>>723600005Isn't she supposed to be Japanese? What's with the Chinese clothing
>>723600005Looks great. I like the pinstripes and kimono (yukata?) combo.
>>723608914Anon, it was literally a command in the warcraft dota map. -aram
>>723615312You know they're fictional characters and not real people, right? So they don't have health issues.
>>723601093I'm seething. The reason why I played deadlock because I saw gameplay of Yamato and I main her. I have 300 hours on her. The reason why I liked this model so much is because she looked like a mummy, like a samurai ayy mummy. It turns me on. Seems like they were inspired by demon hunter.I will say this. I like this model way better than the coomer mod, but she looks to innocent. She a cold hearted sadistic bitch in the voice lines? Also I fear the hat will block a huge portion of the screen, becasue when you play Yamato you dash and run everywhere. Ayymato's enjoyers... its over.
Was this good or bad for a geist match? Yeah the enemy team got fucked but I always wonder what I could have done better.Should I be rushing Leech? Even with that item I still feel like I'm only just eeking out close calls against their non-shitters and mina specifically I never felt good about fighting 1v1 without my ult.
>>723601093This looks awful, I'm glad they changed it
>>723611906this looks like a gang of gargoyles are chasing me with those one wheel hoverboards
>>723615028thats all the more reason to play the alpha while its still pure, would you agree anon?

>>723616665g-guh i thought i hated paige...
>>723605205idkask McGinnis
>>723608891NICE
>>723602326The answer is money, seems that supporting the LGBTQIA+ and minorities doesn't give them money anymore, back then it gave them a good look "oh look they care about people", but since everyone started doing it nowadays it feels way too artificial and people doesn't care.So they went back to have attractive characters, a good example of that is Overwatch, they noticed that what gives them money is skins for the cute characters, and since a lot of women play the game they released a guy that looks like a k-pop singer to capitalize on it, on top of releasing a Kiriko skin every 2 months while characters like Baptiste rot in the trash

>>723617352sorry he's not dante from dante's inferno, but the dude is a priest in a world of magic, what do you expect? if there are divine powers in this game excluding doorman then you wont find it from applicants of the ritual, i'll tell you that much.
>>723618486I'm still interested on what Wrecker's final look would've been. His story is that he is a bio engineered weapon made by Fairfax going nuts on Ixia, right?
>>723617152I want a New York cabbie. Maybe a (pizza) delivery guy too
>>723618453Huh? Who was their last priest with a shotgun character?
>>723619080Grigori from Half Life 2, part of one of the most memorable sections of the entire game.

>>723601093>huge bulgeHuh?
>>723615014retardhttps://deadlock.wiki/Yamato#Gallery
so is this game actually fun or just a recipe for misery?I never played mobas but i like games with fun movement. Quake, gunz, titanfall, stuff like that. Also i am into crpgs so making builds is fine. Would you recommend it? Been looking for something to play with friends for a while and they liked Gigantic before it died and this reminds me a bit of it
>>723619912It honestly depends on the lobby you get and your mindset. Get a team with ultra sweats (Enemy or ally) and it can be rough, but if you stick to fun builds and/or characters, you can get a lot of value out.Also the movement feels so good on the shooty characters. Once you master proper sliding (Which gives you unlimited ammo while sliding), gun heroes like Haze or Wraith feel like gods.
>>723619912It's the most fun I've had in a new competetive game for some time, but I also really like Dota and movement shooters in the first place. Used to play Quake and Tribes all the time. Well, it's free at the end of the day so you aren't losing anything by trying.
>>723619912Look up deadlock movement guide or showcase, there’s a lot of movement tech. There’s a lot of builds including taking magic characters and turning them into gun characters. I never played that game but if it was a moba then they’ll like deadlock
>>723600005wide > tall
I dig the hat but they should have given her circular stereotype glasses to nail the look.After they added the cancerous tumor known as Paige I stopped caring about the setting anyway.
>>723619912>>723620003>>723620076>>723620092can you perform well if you have shit aim? Like making melee or aoe builds and filling different roles?
Would've preferred more of a Mizu like look, but then I realized that the hat is a mixture between the stereotypical asian hat and a trilby/fedora which is kinda funny.
>>723619154Deadlock's Venator is a Catholic priest and Vatican envoy, while Grigori was Orthodox. I argue the latter would fit the shotgun stereotype better.There is a gaping hole where an Orthodox Imperial Soviet monk character would fit. Raven namedrops Rasputin so it fits.
>>723620189Yeah you can. There are heroes that have pretty shitty guns that you can still do super well on.A hero that fits it well is Billy, who has a dinky ass SMG but can spray+pray because he has a passive that reloads his magazine on melee hit which can be activated to gain bonus health on melee hit.
>>723620197Based Mizuchad
>>723601093Every Yamato player modded her model btwNO ONE likes this shit and if they do, they should be treated as a something retarded like a flat earther and ignored because they're sick in the head
>>723606579Igorance just makes you look stupid
>>723620189>can you perform well if you have shit aim?Yes
>>723616092I don't believe that this is a sincere post. But if it is, you are retarded if you thought that Yamato wouldn't have been completely redone visually.
>>723620231>an Orthodox Imperial Sovietwhat
>>723620189It's like literally any other shooter game, some characters don't need good aim at all, while others absolutely require it.
>>723620189The funny thing about Deadlock is that not many heroes have a default "role".Even heroes that would've been typical supports like Kelvin or Dynamo can become gun or burst damage gods.
so when the fuck are they gonna texturize and finish the map? I suppose by now they had enough feedback
>>723619912What was Gigantic like? Did the recent revival get anywhere?
>>723620413Soon... it seems like they are really wanting to finish it if the leaked patron update says anything.Still looks like they are configuring the base still.
>>723601136This is fan art, not concept art.
>>723607438>they'll look at you like you're marginally insanethaths the lovecraftian influence baby
>>723620363The in-universe Soviet Union was taken over by the resurrected ghost of Catherine the Great. First game you'll hear the words Soviet Empire spoken unironically.>>723620504It's official concept art you fool.
>>723607438You make a fair enough point, but it is also using a lot of familiar tropes and adjusting them. Frankenstein except he is sad emo boy. A murder hobo except he is an ancient vampire. A gangster except she uses card magic etc.
>>723620539I cannot wait to see how glorious Warden's cape is, even if it means sacrificing the out of place bobby.
>>723620569>A gangster except she uses card magic etc.The first association I'd make with cards in my mind is "gypsy fortune teller witch", not "card dealing casino owner". Maybe that's what Boho is about?
>>723601093The ugliest fucking subhuman shit. Valvekeks are now defending this one.... what is wrong with them...
>>723620710who you calling pinhead
>>723620710Because you're a tourist, that's why.Conehead Yamato was retarded but iconic and will be remembered like bananamancer.
>immediate tranny seethingYep. Mental creatures.
>>723620751I still like the idea someone had that Yamato's first Halloween skin (Because you know they will have those) is her dressing up as an Ayy as a nod to it.
Canadian Mounted Police Samurai?>>723601093Fuck that dick head.
>>723620751Venomancer's remodel was fine, but I still miss Mexican Storm and old Drow. Her model was really old and pretty bogged but they should have updated it to actually look like her original concept art instead of a new face entirely.
>>723600005Looks alright
>>723620424it was a really soulful but unlucky game, almost cursedthe artstyle and combat system were amazing. It did melee and assassin characters really really well. Tripp is still the coolest assassin function i've ever played in any game, pure adrenaline.Everything else was bad, the main mode had some really cool ideas but never found it's footing, always having fundamental design issues. The infrastructure was awful, mostly due to budget.It was a small studio of really talented and passionate people that got fucked by corporations and awful dealsthe revival was a travesty. The ip holder contracted a studio to complete the unfinished stuff trying to scam the desperate fanbase one last time and left the game an unplayable buggy mess once the contract expiredI'm so glad that after almost a decade someone finally saw the light and took inspiration from it, even better being valve and not a studio always strapped for money
>>723602326Because they're not "allowed" anything it never stopped it's just there's good enough games now that nobody's shitting themselves over ugly characters.
>>723620834I'm still not over the loss of fat fuck ojisan Lion. What a perfect design for his personality.
So it seems we are getting Yamato, Vyper and Talon updates in the pipeline, how long is Shiv going to stay le monke man? He is also a Neon Prime hold over.Bebop too but he doesn't need that many tweaks.
>>723620881Fat ugly jew bastard Lion was perfect and out of all the changed heroes he's the one that makes the least sense
>>723620947Theyre going to make Shiv more handsomeMaybe even look like an Elvis clone
>>723620881i think they nailed it the first go round.2 looks like a football chad3's a derpy fuck4 is the disneyfied clean version
i couldnt get into a rising storm 2 server so i guess i will play this game, but with 3 minute queues it might be as dead as rising storm 2 anyway
>>723620947I don’t even think they tweak bebop’s design that much, people like it, he’s still kind of ok for the games theming and he’s in that leaked vn
Hazebros... she's no longer frolicking on the bridge on the title screen... no news on a remodel to fix her hair to be flowing... when will it be our time?At least she's on the steam page art.
>>723621045Yeah, just mainly changing the eye and maybe removing some of the japanese stuff is all he would need.
>>723620947Mo&Krills are also Neon Prime leftovers. At least they should make Krill more rat looking.
>>723621114Yeah don't touch mo, he is perfect. Krill is in a need for an update.
>>723605602>molotovinfernus 1>bear trapgreytalon 3>double barrelshiv m2>crossbowvindicta 4why does it feel like 99% of MOBA characters are just remixing a pool of a few dozen abilities with slight tweaks? so many people play the same
>>723621151>>723621114Krill is gonna be a monkey or a gremlin I can feel it
>>723614279>Oh Lash~ What can't you do?https://files.catbox.moe/2x2hcl.mp3
>>723617352you can't expect God to do all the work.
>>723619912it's hell for a while until you learn the map/items/heroes
>>723614279I have the reverse of fatigue from her and I'm happy to see her whenever she shows up
>>723621191I would enjoy it if they did lean more into the monkey design for him, agreed.
>>723614279"Let your rage spill forth Billyyyyyy" is a voice line that lives rent free in my head.
>>723617426If she's sexy or anything like an xcom snek ill buy all her cosmetics
>>723620614I don't want him looking too ~unique~. From his backstory he really should be in a practical and unassuming uniform.
>super super casual aram mode where i dont even need to pay attention to soul economyYeah sorry brehsIm gonna no life that shitHave fun with your cancer ASSFAGGOTS mode lmao
>>723617426They said that they are ditching the cobra aesthetic.
>>723615749Nah they don't sound alike.I wish they would drag McLain and Burch to voice in this game but they're semi retired
>>723620947Looking forward to Vyper, though they need to empathize her loser-ness in the snake design before going live with it.
>>723614886Icefrog is the only man at Valve that actually cares about games right now.Gabe is exploring the ocean and the rest of the leadership guys are focusing on tech.
Flopping tranny deadcock.
>>723621406Good. Dont fucking shit up my matches retard.
>>723621386It's funny to think that Warden is basically Deadlock's Batman with Arc Warden's motive.
>>723600005Jabroni outfit.
New game mode for all you drooling BROOLers
>>723621045They'll probably get rid of his beak and make him overall more golemly. Less wires and all.
>>723600005Michael Jackson?
>>723621561OH GOD IM BROOOOOLING
>>723620539They should've made Yamato into a spooky office lady instead of boring yakuza grill
>>723621561I just realized one lane means less isolated heroes to get Drifter stacks on.Sad.
>>723621561More info
>>723600005Feels like the chinkification of the game.
>>723621876>roguelite modeMAKE A RISK OF RAIN MODE YOU NIGGERS
>>723621938They love to do sidemodes for DotA like this, probably at some point
>>723600502The slacks, dress shirt, tie also don't. It's pretty fucking obvious they weren't going for 100% traditional Japanese style.
>>723620710Deadlock has a lot of über contrarians who claim the really shitty designs are "le soul" and actually hecking cute (see Ivy the mass delusion)
>>723621386>A>B>C>4
>>723620710>>723622157No one defended yamato lmao
>>723621114take them both out of the game
>>723622452
>>723601093Yeah they can keep it
>>723621114
>>723622797I will always say that the speech bubble chat is the best addition to the game, I read every single one in the voice of the character.
>>723622797>>723623113They should use the AI to automatically voice morph every single thing people say in the chat in accordance with the characters' voices.
>>723623205>Matches devolve into hearing every hero saying niggerSurprised Valve despite all of their setbacks haven't gone down that route too hard on moderating that. You can "report" for chat no-no words, but I've been playing their games for years and never got muted or chat banned.
>>723616495LMAO
>>723600005Isn't that a traditional Korean outfit? Are they turning her into a Korean?t. went to Incheon airport once
>>723611906I like the current look being "cuter" than her original look but still looking partially monstrous.Also props for keeping her flat.
>>723621561>non-stop BROOLkinoDeadlock is saved...
So what heroes are going to thrive in BROOL mode?Abrams, Billy, Dynamo and Wraith are going to be super fun.
>>723623585momo
>>723623646>6 man 1's more reliable early gameOh yeah, didn't think of that.
>>723623676his fart alone in brawl is an easy 400hp heal
>>723623585Warden, M&K, Paige, Drifter and Billy.
>>723623764Drifter might have a slightly harder time with way less opportunity to kill isolated heroes.
>>723600005gooners won
>>723620881Every iteration looks like an npc in dota 2 comic. At least the last one looks like an elite enemy.
>>723621725I hope they saved OL kino for another hero.
>>723623346they even added that feature to counter strike that lets people spell out the nigger words on their guns
>>723623785>tag someone low>pick up the straggler>bonus damage>weave in and out in fightsI think he's fine. Also Ivy>Vines got huge aoe>tether is great in a long fight>stone form lets you dodge and stun>fly can save teammates or drop someone like Mo and Krill on top of you
>>723623932Sorry to ruin your epic tranny fantasy but you get banned for these.
>>723624074really? I still run into people who have them every dozen games
>>723624128Yes.
>>723623585whats brool
>>723624191The new All Random All Mid mode they are introducing. One lane, everyone gets a random hero, just go fucking nuts. Supposedly no farming, just random items so you can focus on brawling.BROOL itself is a DOTA 2 meme when updates encouraged more fighting instead of farming.
>>723624223no like whats brool stand for
>>723624265Oh just a funny way of saying "Brawl", again, DOTA 2 meme.
>>723624074rentfree
>>723624265just saying brawl like a retard.like COOM.
>>723624314You are seething about my yeah.
>>723617515You haven't played in a year, I assume?
>>723620881>b-b-but if we don't give him feline features people would wonder why he's called Lion!brava valva
>>723620947I never noticed Shiv's collar had a floral pattern in it
>tfw all my tard friends are instantly gonna hop in the game when aram gets introduced
>>723601116>each side is unique they just keep making the game harder lmao doa
>>723625185retard
>>723625185He means in aesthetics, like Red/Blu in TF2
>>723625185How is it harder? Just look if you are orange team or blue team, you can figure out what base you are at from that.It's like complaining about Dire and Radiant in DOTA.
>>723600005looks like the gay boys from Kpop
So when does this aram mode releases? Do we have an inkling of a date?
>>723623958>>bonus damagehave you read what drifter's skill does lmfaogod ur so fucking shit kid
>>723601093>the model is soulful because...>because it looks like assmodern /v/ was a mistake
>>723600253the bigger the hat, the cuter the witch
>>723602326El Donaldo
>>723609348you clearly don't play this games so you don't understand all characters are made for the standard map, so there is no "diff chars diff strats to shine", because they are all made to "shine" in standard second, map changes all the time, in both league and dotacomplexity and interactivity in these games lies in heroes unlike tooty shooty games where the main gameplay is wasd+point n click, so maps need to change to keep things interesting since the main gameplay gets boring fastbut yes having for fun modes is goodstandard version should stay standard
I already have the superior yamato redesign.
>>723602326in the case of shooters is because Concord failed and now realised supporting minorities too much doesn't give them money. After having worked developing a xbox game in microsoft years ago, changes in the middle of a project like this happens when the heads analyze the market and see changes in the industry.
>>723625261ah well if it's just aesthetics then fine>>723625269dire and radiant are different, but the jungle gameplay is not as relevant in dota so it doesn't matter as much doalock is confusing with all the corridors and stairs, imagine if the sides were unique and vastly different
>>723625579Well it only seems like only the bases will be unique, the lanes themselves will stay the same.
>>723600005I thought this game was in alpha? Now the game has an even more secret private testing branch? Kek
>>723625668Yeah there are basically two branches:One "public" branch in which people can just play the game.One "secret" branch that people who are serious about play testing are invited to.Hero Labs died for a reason... as sad as it was.
>>723601093this shit legit looks like something out of battleborn
>>723600005haha lmao this is just the current "designed with gamers in mind" meme
>>723625961hahano it isn't
>>723625714I'm serious about playtesting how do I get in
>>723600005she got that deepthroat pro phisiognomy
>>723626031Only if Valve contacts (You) in particular.
>>723626083You jest but I can definitely see that face going full nootnoot during vacuum blowjob mode
>>723626031You don'tAnd considering the weird sperging/snitching that's going on with the sekret club you're better off not bothering.
>>723609820Honestly, trueIt's so funny how desperate they are, all the new characters are attractive all of a suddenSame thing is happening in Dota, last couple of years half the sets are anime goonbait
>>723609820holy buzzword salad
>>723626298>Same thing is happening in Dota, last couple of years half the sets are anime goonbaitYes and no, they are more attractive but we haven't hit League levels yet. At least DOTA still gives a shit about monster heroes and "cool" heroes.
>>723625668People keep leaking stuff so Valve had to make more branches lmao.
>>723626170>you jestwhere did you get that ideaand the vacuum face is a fucking boner killer, it's pretty hard to make a blowjob look bad but that does the trick. It's like the whore heard "sucking dick" and thought it was literal.
>>723626372Funny considering we are only where we are because uncle dane being butthurt over it and "accidentally" leaking the existence of it.
>>723609820Can someone translate this from Retard to English please? I legitimately have no clue what he means.
>>723626428I am extremely disappointed that faggot is still at large and didn't get legally nuked from orbit like the HL2 leaker back in the day.
>>723626372I thought they listed it on steam and announced it already lol
>>723608378>>723612315I always thought he was a cool priest from the Scottish Highlands, and then I learned it was unconfirmed. I thought it was an England vs Scotland thing.
>>723626529Technically it's not officially revealed yet
>>723626485>Make their female characters uglyThey're falling into woke>Make their female characters pretty They're desperateThat's the extent of the language I grasped from that anon.
>>723614915Like what? I'm semi interested now
>>723626428I hope this game becomes more and more popular with Uncle Dane and his faggot discord gooncord circle rope themselves over the fact that they helped by being bitter, OLD GOOD NEW BAD retards.
when is mo&krill getting new skin?
>>723626492Same with the Tyler faggot. It's weird Valve didnt fuck them i'm some way.>>723626529
>>723626681Last time I checked leaks it was ARAM and maybe payload.They got Hopoo, they better make a RoR roguelike mode.
>>723626681Currently there is an ARAM mode that is coming soon. Sounds like an ASSFAGGOTS game mode, but there is no farming and items are in a randomized loot drop like a rogue lite so there's that.Payload-ish files have been found multiple times.
>>723626741Hey, I'd play Payload
>>723626659That's pretty clever. It means whatever direction a game you dislike takes, you always win. Game adds a blue haired fat wheelchair bound tranny? Woke trash as I predicted. Game adds a buxom bimbo in just bikini bottoms who gives every male character a sandwich as an ultimate? Holy fuck bros they're desperate, we won.
>>723626704Why are these always so funny
>>723626848And at no point do you have to actually play videogames. Behold, the "gamer" audience for online grifter slop content.

>>723627279I feel like Mina would fit Toreador moreDrifter is 100% Gangrel though, and a hardcore one at that. Gives zero shits, just enjoys the law of the jungle. If he ever embraces someone he's just gonna dump their body in the woods and let them figure it out or die a final death trying.
>>723627380I don't think he let Shiv alone.
>>723601093this looks like dogshit wtf
>>723601093Fucking hate /v/ contrarians they really need to be shot
>>723601093I SAW MIKUGUINNESS
>>723627131I don't get this one. Who's is meant to be the in the cube? Viscous? Talon?
>>723600005Good, looks like she does belong in an ASSFAGGOTS game. The extra wide brimmed fedora makes it look Korean >>723602985 at a glance THOUGH.I'm gonna miss the old ayyy lmao design, bros... I hope it returns as a skin tall head and all.>>723603498>>723601136>>723620539Glad these weren't used. They're much too cliché.>le sukeban yakooza a la 1990s>only one that looks good, but looks like a chink in a cowboy setting>le japanese megane schoolgirl ^_^
>>723620569>except he is sad emo boyApparently that's how he is in his own story
>>723607438>thing isn't a generic genre rehash so it's badWhat a stupid take. You could make this argument about any subgenre or fresh setting. But Deadlock is just supernatural New York, it's not even that crazy
