Hop on Deadlock
>>724174298id rather play dota or lol
>>724174351MAAAAAH HE DODGED MY ABILITY I DIDNT MISS THIS GAME IS BULLSHIT
>>724174298How the McShit do I play Doorman? I want to play him spirit-focused, but it never really seems to bring much to the team. Meanwhile I see gun-focused Doormen with mvp stats and really deadly. Is gun Doormn the only way to do it?
>>724174525>gun DoormnJust got nerfed into the ground, mate
>>724174525Spirt doorman is more OP than gunman in my opinion, and they just nerfed him while buffed his bell. As doorman you want to dish out heavy burst damage and be annoying as possible, to drain the other sides resources. If you make his bell's big you can stop the enemy fights or plan as they will see that bell and back away. You could add the bullet resist shredder item and use hollowpoint and cut down their bullet resit making them easy targets if you have a gun build on your lane, like haze or vyper.I like to run meele doorman too, which is strong but since they nerfed his gun damage and spirit snatched I don't know how strong he is now.
>>724174298But I just hopped off...The Halloween stuff is pretty great.
>>724174351I didn't like Dota because I felt disconnected from my character and the action. Deadlock feels much more personal, so I like it.
>>724174298I don’t have friends to let me in
For me it's Geist
>>724176825>One of the whitest characters in the game>Draws her tanned.
>>724176893So that's what bothers you?Not the off-model proportions?Not the arm being on the wrong side?Not the old pre-rework design?Not Ivy being a bird for no reason?
>>724177019I actually didn't notice the Oathkeeper arm being on the wrong side. Or the bird.
>fixes your model
Why does Vindicta's bullet velocity feel... off? Like, there are several things that make me feel like I should be hitting more shots but instead miss despite having my cross hair over them.Also, spirit Vyper is fucking fun, discovered that last night.
>hehehe... you see dat shit?you're response?
>>724174298Are all the the items still barely distinguishable colored squares?
POOOOOOOOOCKEEEEEEEEEEEET
>>724174298>Maurice is gonna find youuu~
>>724177497>completely untouched in last patchi'm gonna be eating good until christmas time
>>724177601super underrated item because everyone seems to think you should only buy it if you have a 0 range ability like mokrill/doorman
I used to play in top ranks when it was popular AFAre players worse than back then? What happens if i hop back on
>>724177339>Mystic Slow>press 1 then 3
>>724177339>marks you
>>724176825>GHOST HANDJOB>WOHOO!!!
Tell me again why that gay faggot nepo baby faggot doesn't want that vampire waifu?
>>724178736she's literally the most evil woman i've ever seen
>>724178868And?
>>724179291you into getting cucked and assasinated? because that's what's gonna happen to youit's not gonna be mommy dommy bdsm bullshit
>>724177339ZAP MUTHAFUCKA!
Which game is the purer PvP experience, Deadlock or Dota 2? By "pure," I mean where victory relies almost entirely on winning fights, with minimal impact from farming or PvE. What's your take?
>>724176313Want an invite?>>724179291Her role model is geist, should tell you all you need to know
>>724178464>Mystic SlowMaybe the most nothingburger item in the game next to Rusted Barrel.
>>724180571Not sure what ranks you're referring to, but it's an annoying item for sure.In my case, Warden's 1 already removes one stamina, then throw your 3 and you really see them panic. Also it upgrades to Lightning Scroll which of course is great.I also found it works well with Vindicta. Hitting them with a crow slows them down for a long time, making it easier to stake or assassinate.
>>724178736She wasn't a vampire waifu to begin with.She was an arranged marriage brat that was probably going to bump him off given the opportunity to keep the name and inheritance of Fairfax.
>>724178409>Are players worse than back then?Unironically people have gotten a lot better and so much has changed. You'd get raped probably 15 games in a row before you get the hang of things
>>724178736it's a mystery
>>724180367DOTA 2 makes me have a more BROOL mindset while Deadlock has me thinking about objectives a lot more often. That said, DOTA 2 has more deliberate farming because of last hits/denies being an all or nothing thing while Deadlock has a better passive farming due to soul sharing and the lack of last hits mattering as much.
>>724181708Yea but Dota 2 farming is tied to pure mechanical PvP, you do that with that end while from what you're telling me deadlock is like league of legends, where it's a game of resource acquisition and pvp/skirmishes are just a check on your success there on your way to diminish the resource gathering of enemies, is deadlock a snowballing game?
>>724181708>DOTA 2 makes me have a more BROOL mindset while Deadlock has me thinking about objectives a lot more often.We had a LoL (I think) retard a few games back who wouldn't stop BROOLing and he fed the enemy good in the first 10 minutes.I think he's a LoLtard because he said "ff" I think and somebody called him out.
>>724181820It can be a snowball-ish but moreso from the mid game onwards. Losses in lanes don't really matter as much. If you can hold onto walkers you can make insane comebacks. Even if you get pushed to Patron, you can hold the base reliably enough to get counter items and start split pushing like a mad man.
>>724175724more like the LACK of Halloween stuff, this december update better be HUGE to make up for us not getting Boho and Priest RIGHT NOW. >My main boy kevlin gets FUCKED just cus some"""""""""""""""""pros"""""""""""""""""" bitch about his dome>My second main girl McG is still fucked bad at anything other then gun tower melting>and page despite the great nude mods is just to boring even when she's strong...Perhaps Ill start getting really good at sincalr, that bolt is fun
>>724181569You can say Pocket dodge the bullet!
>>724182342CARLOS!Already true since he did survive an assassination attempt by Calico.
>>724178736Pocket doesn't have voicelines toward mina yet
>>724180571Rusted barrel is a good in-lane option to annoy gun carries if you take a soul lead.I've had way easier times laning against haze, vindicta, and infernous with it.
>>724177205It's a bit slow
>play and always do shit>try so many different ways to do better, never really works>give up and just fuck around with Holliday>accidentally discover something cuh-razy>it just clicks, and now I absolutely slaughter in every game, even if my team doesn't win I'm looking at scores of 15+/0 consistentlyAnd I believe they nerfed her a bunch too? wtf this would have been disgusting before. Oh well, at least I finally figured out how to actually accomplish something in this game, and have fun
two questions about headhunter>does the bonus damage change based on enemy +/- bullet resist or is it flat damage>do characters that have a penalty on headshot damage like drifter lower the bonus damage
>>724174298I like the characters, but I'm all done with e-sports, leave it for the 20-year olds. I also don't like how characters are constantly sliding around for some arbitrary boost, I think it just looks dumb. Video games don't need to be realistic, but they should still feel like they make sense. Characters also jump around in the air a lot without it looking like they're actually touching anything, but it's Valve, so I doubt that'll ever change.
>>724177104paige WHEN?
>>724182787Holliday is one of those characters that can't really be bad unless her damage is nerfed to the point of comedyShe just has way too much packed in otherwise, they would have to start removing mechanics and I doubt they'll ever do that
>>724178327problem is >6400>green>disarm only lasts 3 seconds, so you better be so far ahead you can instantly kill whoever the you clicked on, otherwise you just put yourself in shooting distance of their strongest gun carrysilence wave and curse feel way stronger in almost every situation since abilities and items are the strongest things in the game
>>724185427It can work for tankier characters like Abrams or Mo&Krill
>>724182787Welcome to the sheriff pill bro
Is warden better to be built around his gun or going all in on his utility?
>>724186237a bit of both because his lock down is good in a fight and synergizes directly with his ult so just building gun and ignoring spirit damage isn't optimal
>>724174298Not last hitting in a fucking hero shooter.Simple as.
Is Mina the first popular Korean vampire girl?
>>724186540I can’t think of another Korean vampire girl
>>724186237He's more optimized for Spirit. The only gun-related stuff going for him are:>RoF increases with Spirit level>His 3's max level only adds 20% more gun damage (by you ONLY) to trapped enemies
>>724186781getting tons of free head shots while they're rooted is pretty good that being said, still better to play him as ult even after the nerfs
how the FUCK do you reply to this?
>>724175724>>724178476That is one of the most atrocious UIs I've ever seen
>>724186924Last year I used to play gun Warden when I was new, not sure if it got nerfed since then, or mechanics overhaul in general (especially item slots) made it less viable. I remember the build used to be rush his 3 to max, then range expansion, and weapon damage items like Close Range.This year I just play spirit Warden since it's literally a free win (at least at the individual level).
Unironic serious question:Why is Deadlock so popular with the "Tumblr" crowd? Regarding fanart/fics and so on.I don't remember DOTA ever getting so many gay pairing on twitter
>>7241874131920's-1950's new york and occult aesthetics are popular in that type of circle.That and Doorman is such a twink.
the game looks really fun but there's a problem with its tiny playerbase, this genre of games requires a massive population to be meaningful, challenging etc.
>>724187413idk but they're honestly killing it with the art and mods atm, especially the 'toon' mods for ivy and wraith
>>724187682Welcome to alpha testing (now pre-beta). Despite the surge in popularity back in August, Deadlock is still pretty small. We're due to for an update in December according to Yoshi, but it sounds like they're not yet ready to go public with a beta anytime soon.If you need a silver lining, grassroot tournaments are going pretty strong, so there's definitely a budding community at the moment.
>>724188039It seems like it has a tiny percentage of the players that alpha Dota 2 had.
when do you guys think the game will actually be released?Next year maybe?
>>724188151this game doesnt have a prior 10 year old fanbase like dota did
>Everyone has wishes ranging from "I want my creator to live out her retirement in peace" (Bebop) to "I want to achieve Apotheosis" (Seven)>Drifter is just there to have a fun time slaughtering peopleBased Murder Hobo>>724188151Keep in mind that a lot of that is from people that played the original DOTA Allstars and during the peak of the assfaggot boom thanks to LoL.
Did Mina get buffed yet? Every 1v1 I just have to flee and in team fights I don't feel like I can contribute a lot compared to others. The one thing I can do is just wipe out towers and creeps with ease
>>724188460sounds like you aren't scaling properly
>>724186167It's just a shame she's a slut
>>724187046nigga heil hitler
>>724188167Perhaps, depends on what the feedback is going to be like to any new big changes. I like the new Patrons that are floating around, hopefully that's the december patch. I just want the new jungle so badly. I like the denizins, but some variety would be nice.
>>724188460shes qopyou have to giga snowball or you do nothing
>>724188748Yeah but the best girl is a slut.
>the jungle and side objectives are still dogshit1 year in and the jungle is still barebones and hitting boxes is still a thing, maybe in 5 more years the game will be comparable to dota
>>724187046>I'm interested in calling you a slur
>>724177445not for over 5 months
>>724177104Uhm.. is it just me or do I see a butthole
>>724189010One thing I am glad about is that most items have pretty simple names that tell you roughly what they are used for and the ones that have more fluffy names can still be figured out due to context clues.
>>724188878She's a based slut, Holliday is a cringe slut
>>724187046Buy counterspell
>>724188892check back in with the december update because apparently that's what they're focusing on next
>>724174298I shalln'tDid they add a new gamemode yet?
>>724187776>the 'toon' mods for ivy and wraithwhat's these exactly?
>>724187219It's pretty bad, yeah, but they have a lot of information they need to communicate.I don't know how much they could shave off without having to make the game simpler.At anything they could rearrange the actions, and simplify the hero portraits.

Haze owes me sex.
>>724188647I follow build guides and spectated people better than me, but even then all they did was kite around and only try to put pressure on them never actually committing to the kill unless they know they can get out quick>>724188858>shes qopidk what that means, but yeah if the match isn't a snowball within the first 10 minutes, then we're the ones getting snowballed. Then everyone blaming someone else and throwing shit towards each other inevitably just made me quit. I swear this dwindling playerbase is because nobody wants to teach each other how to play properly and just drives out newer players when they get paired up with sweats
>>724187219>team shooter UI + items and abilitiesit's not even bad
>>724191186>>724191202I could never use those, but shit that's kinda funny
>>724187219What's wrong with it?
>It's a Vyper lane vs tanky heroes
>>724174298sex
>>724191186>>724191202>completely custom cartoony anvil/safe drop animationoh damn, I wasn’t aware you could add or change animations, thought it was just models, got brief flashbacks to 2010 era TF2 skins seeing that
>>724195059>it's a drifter game vs a tanky teamAAAAAARRRRRHHHHHHGGGG
>>724196090you can add animated models to particle systems, but you can't change the base hero animations because of game logic/hitboxes
>>724196090Deadlock is already giving TF2 vibes with how the community is already making voice line mash ups and funny animations. Didn't see this when overwatch came out for examplehttps://files.catbox.moe/zd8rhy.webmhttps://youtu.be/O2nQhBD2UNs?si=1ybIbfZtc1q27Althttps://youtu.be/wIuQfm1Y9rE?si=1DD_TaW5gy283zbV
>>724196838>It's an Abrams or Mo game vs Ranged heroes that buy long distance itemsREEEEEE
>>724197124That last one also does a good Lash impression.
>>724197906>Its Billy&Vindicta>if you get close Billy gets you>if you stay at range Vindicta snipes you>your lane buddy is Victor>nobody wanted to change at the star of the gameSometimes you know from the get go its over.
When is the fucking open beta
>>724192782>bebop oh yoshi more nerfs pls
>>724198815>lane against Doorman and Giest>eat multiple hard to dodge AoE attacks>if you do well you get sent to the hotel>if you do really well you lose all your HP>if you do shit you lose tower in 5 minutes
>>724187219It used to be even worse.
>>724196090>>724197124There's this one that I can't find on youtubehttps://files.catbox.moe/zevadq.mp4
I hopped on Deadlock, my team fed relentlessly without achieving anything and then the hyperfed enemy carry rolled over me...
>>724200409https://youtu.be/PZp3IQv0c14?si=pOl9spah3qmIDQlXWhy do gamers love hearing heroes sodomise each other?
>>724200635time-honored TF2 tradition
>>724190617>>724191902>>724192782I think the UI can best be described as a symptom of the real problem people have with the game.Because yeah, there's a lot of shit that the player wants to be able to see when playing. But that's just it. There's a lot of shit. And a lot of people don't want to play a game that expects them to keep track of this much in the first place.
>>724200635Sentence Splicing is a time honoured tradition and the lengths we’re gone reach have become insane>Morshu Reads The Bible>83 Hours long>no AI usedThat character has two fucking lines of dialogue
>>724201339>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTh5J0HsIAgWell to be fair he mentions in the description that it was made with a tool, but still it's unbelievable.
what's the percentage of souls you steal from an orb when you deny?the wiki is strangely lacking this information.
>nothingburger of a laning phase>doesn't even matter if we win or lose as long as we don't lose guardian in under 12 minutes and keep up in souls>farm waves and sinners for a bit while occasionally ganking someone>18-20 minute mark someone on the other team makes a bad move and dies >their teammate tries saving them and ends up also dying>we instantly rush mid since they can't win a 4v6 without one of our teammates being a retard>nothing but a stomp for the next 10-30 minutesmid-boss is starting to get repetitive the more i climb. i just hope they change the rejuv buffs to not turn every match into a stomp after 20 minutes. this is the exact same gameplay loop whether it's my team stomping or getting stomped
>>724203386>300 souls per player>+15% spirit damage>+15% fire rate>+10% maximum health>3 revivesThe buffs it gives are waaay too powerful right now for how easy it is to take mid, unless that's the meta valve wants.
>>724201695I think it's 40%
>>724203386>>we instantly rush mid since they can't win a 4v6 without one of our teammates being a retardThat retarded teammate who holds the team back and costs us the 4v6? Me.
>>724177104link
>overwatch with fake-laningno thanks
>>724174298>ask for character recs on the deadlock discord>let slip that ive had bad teammates>armchair therapist discord troons start psychoanalyzing me and telling me that im actually the bad onethe fuck were their problem?first and last time i ever post there.
>>724203386Icefrog is fucking retarded for giving the team that kills the Rosh equivalent 3 fucking Aegises. Did he learn nothing working on Dota for 20 fucking years?
game needs a surrender option if a team still has a guardian up at 15 or 20 minutesnever seen a comeback from that
>>724204958>discordThat's your fault. Stay there instead of crying about it here.
could i have kelvin tips please? Currently im using icebeam alot at the start and trying to deny or just poke the enemy until i get heal bane rushed or if not fighting heavy melee/hp recovery enemies i go for firerate slow. But i don't know if thats retarded. I am fine until about 20 minutes into the game and then outside of just slowing down or holding the enemy I feel like im doing little
>>724192782Godlike Dynamo ult, shame that his team was so behind
>>724174298>all the best characters are gun based>have god awful aimguess ill go back to league for my moba fix
>>724174298I recognize that artstyle. Stay safe out there anons, and beware the pipeline
>>724205706why would anyone want to be a woman when you can just be a man.>UHHH I DONT GET ATTENTION AND IM LONELY ANDjust be a better man
>>724197124literal peak has already been made, it's all downhill from herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_4VjWNUb2E
>>724205624I have bad aim as well, which is why I play Drifter and Paige.Drifter's attack is stupidly easy to hit and Paige doesn't need aim if she makes her team mates invincible.
>>724206226Wish it had the old Lash face instead
>>724201510for me its https://youtu.be/9WNBCu3eW9s?si=Ibcpunc4pXXoRNWL
>>724205252be aggressive in lane, rush healing grenade, use icewalk on cd to pressure/poke/kill use beam the same way. once dome is up ping it and jump on a single person in lane (this is the hard part. if you have level advtange you will have ult before them at 3.3k souls. make sure you only ult one of them, try to get team mate in the dome but that's hard to do) after this kill the other guy will usually try and die to save them/get put into a stupid position and die easily. while dome is on cd go help other lanes. your icewalk is a great map movement tool.
>>724208007go hybrid, it's probably better to go spirit now because i havent played since patch and idk how gutted his gun got but ima still say go hybrid. items like rescue beam are a meme in low elo. your grenades are great healing throughout the game so i would focus on using that if you want something to hyper focus. dome for major objectives/fights. icebeam build isn't worth shit or wasn't worth shit but my info on that is old.
Shill me some lash tips
>>724208297always be the highest motherfucker in the game, seriously learn good spots to sit at on height and slam the shit out of those niggas
>>724182524Would it be a good idea on drifter?
>>724174298nah i remember i was trying to help a guy farm a camp ( ididnt even take any last hits) and he screamed at the top of his lungs STOP FUCKING TAKING MY FUCKING CAMP YOU IDIOT!!!!!!!! i'd rather play dota anyway
>>724200635Kek
>>724208318What's my ability point order? I've been spreading out my points evenly between all abilities until they all have their shorter cooldowns then max out 1 or 3 depending on how I'm feeling.
last game i played some retard came and started stealing my camp, i told him to fuck off and he started to moan on the mic
>>724210961idk I don't play lash as much as I should, but all his abilities are great especially when you get ult leveled up to stun. i think people like the parzelion build
>>724174351i'd rather laugh out loud too!ha ha ha ha
Victor after nerfs is still a good motherfucker, you just need to farm hard on him.
>brand new valve game with nice looking characters>it's a another mobaReal monkey paw moment
>>724174437what are you talking about? the hitboxes in deadlock are ginormous and the netcode is shit. every skillshot is extremely easy to land. around corners. everywhere.
>>724187219the game is nearly incomprehensible, visually
i'm too old for these zoomer ass games, at least this one lets you call people racial epithets though
>>724211778it's okay when valve does it

>>724211859every fucking valve game uses /kill, how the fuck I was supposed to know that they changed to killme instead
>Try to be a team player and show up to fights>Get dunked on>Decide to just be a greedy fucker and always be in a lane that has only 1-2 or no enemies>Get shit done and carryThis is one of the few ASSFAGGOTS that I know that encourages you to be as greedy as possible. Even DOTA which is known for the rice farmer carries get discouraged from going full selfish dickhead these days.
>>724211983with a 5 second google search, i reckon.
>>724212012I was busy looking for other ways to get unstuck you dumbass
>>724211778i could easily decipher what was happening even with the shitty codec compression, seems like a skill issue

>silence silence stun silence stun slow silence stun stun silence hook silencehow do moba zoomers play this shit? honestly this shit feels like mario kart
>>724212730I look at map.See everyone is fighting on a lane.Go to the lane that is pushed up the most without people in it and I fire my gun at objectives.
>>724187219>>724211778>>724212730Not a zoomer, this is my first ASSFAGGOTS and all of these are not a problem. Literal skill issue.You start out with the game screen empty and over time stuff gets added. You learn what they are and 90% of it is ignored. It's really not as complicated as you retards make it.

>>724213950>actually reading AIsloppa summariesYou're dumber than he is
>>724211859>googlehe would get a less shit answer coming to /v/ and asking on adeadlock or anyvalve related thread

>>724214041i hope its early december but i know its gonna be the 31st
>>724214207>ign>2024only a retard call others retards
>It's a Mirage who knows how to aim match
>>724214207I websearched it and the deadlock wiki's list of console commands was the first result.
The people I play with regularly are starting to noticeably be worse than me, and I think the game tracks metrics other than just W/L and it might be fucking up our matchmaking in a way that makes things real unenjoyable for my friends. Like getting curbstomped in lane and not really being able to get back into the game regularly.
>>724214381Valve is gonna be on vacation by that point.Expect early to mid December.
>>724215425when is valve not on vacation lol
