So is deadlock's artstyle an evolution of tf2's? Is the same art guy behind it?

I ignored this game thinking it's a generic hero shooter but it just recently grabbed my attention and when i logged in, i instantly fell in love with the artstyle and the design language.

It is probably what TF3 would look like
>>
Feels like it to me.
Actually, playing deadlock reminds me of how original TF2 felt before they updated a lot of the animations and killed the original aesthetic in a bunch of ways. TF2 really got the call of duty treatment, the original vibe has been mostly lost
>>
I think its just the 20th century setting
>>
>>733748519
This makes me wonder how they are going to approach the monetization. tf2 imo still has its charm in its maps and many cosmetics, but i really hope they don't go overboard.

I love mina's design. Every piece of her clothing has bat theme down to the purse or stockings, she is even asian which adds yet another layer to spikey apperance. Her back is all black and grey so to not distract the controlling player, colors in her front go from black at the bottom to lighter at the top, guiding viewer's sight to her bust and head, her red umbrella acts like a frame for her face and it also signals to the enemy where the danger is, making her own apperance a counter to her playstyle

This is objectively peak design and every charater is like that. Obviously it will not surpass TF2 because all characters from that game are vidya icons, but as far as artistry goes, deadlock is kino

>>733750584
>source 2 stays winning. shame nobody uses it.
That's because nobody can. Valve doesn't license it like they do Source.

They really do look like the sort of OCs you'd see on tumblr but I can't quite pin down why. I'd say it was something about the faces but the goatman also looks like a tumblr OC despite not having a human face.

>>733754982
It's because they look like they are made to appeal to women (or gay males). There isn't a single character that is 100% made for non-gay male appeal.
>>
>>733755795
Yeah, they did a while ago
They also added in portraits for everyone at low health or on kill streaks
>>
>>733755975

Is this game still a 3 lane dota clone?
>>
>>733755975

Valve just designed universally attractive characters which is every side of the aisle love Mina and Silver.
>>
>>733755975
But what is the overarching design trend that makes it come off that way? For instance the doorman has those super rosy cheeks and nose that you'd see in tumblr art but that isn't present on the other characters so it can't be that.

>>733755732
sports are just a flat open field because the whole point is just trying to get past people
once your map design goes beyond open field you've constructed an environment that dictates gameplay decisions every moment of the match, so I can't really get thinking that way. It's just dull.

>>733754418
They licensed it for S&box.
I think you probably could license it if you asked. Sure Titanfall was ages ago, but they were working on Source 2 at that time and they were still licensing Source out.
>>

>>
>>733757035
exactly as I thought.
>>
>>733757035
so it doesn't make any sense for them to try and appeal to you anyway
fighting games often waste dev time on separate gamemodes to try and capture a new audience, but their core audience won't engage with it and the new audience is transient at best
that's why they never bothered to bring back the battle royale mode for CS2
>>
>>733754020
IIRC the entire game was about capturing Sega-themed retro pop-culture merchandise or something insanely retarded like that.
>>
>>733756092
Haven't played it yet but these are some great designs. People say tumblr, and while you can see the influence I don't think they go all the way and make it super trashy. I see some late 90s capcom in here too actually which is great
>>
>>733757171
I'm not really asking them to appeal to me I'm just perusing /v/ threads and wanted to comment on a comparison I don't fundamentally agree with which is that chess/sports fields aren't like MOBA maps.
>>
>>733755187
You don't get it for the souls, those are a bonus. Its one of the few items that gives ability aoe that stacks with enhanced aoe or whatever the aoe expanding purple is called. Cultist actually gives this too and one of the new items does as well but they are both gun items. On a character like Mo and Krill Trophy Collector fits in a lot better. You want it on supports/tanks that REALLY want all the AoE they can get and they should only get it in games where they are off to a good start so its very situational but it has a niche. If anything supplants it, it's that new gun item.
>>
>>733755687
It's a really big map. And the way the game works, the start of it is kind of like having three games with three different maps going on next to each other, and you get one of those maps randomly.
>>
>>733757229
The consistent placement and timing of objectives in a MOBA map makes them like a sports field, players learn and the game is balanced around the interactions on the one map. You could play soccer on a big horseshoe shaped field with a hill in the middle, but that's not going to be a competitive standard.
>>

>you know this game that has been played for 20 years with incredible player numbers?

>>
>>733757461
sports fields are just that, fields, with only concerning themselves with out of bounds and goal zones (or with baseball a run path) and have to be maintained physically as a piece of land that supports people to come watch the game and play on it. They also have extremely simple rules and interaction procedures. Also IRL you actually play in different places so the maps are different.
Every video game ever made with a multiplayer mode can claim that "players learn the map and the game is balanced around the interactions on that" because, well, take it far enough and it will be if you only have the one map to play on. It's really just boring and the gameplay isn't actually so stringently balanced to demand a single map.

>>733757831
>baseball
Baseball specifically has a "map" that is built around how the game is supposed to be played, no different than how Deadlock has lanes and objectives that dictate the base gameplay.
This is unironically a terrible example for your point.
>spoiler
Well you're definitely just being disingenuous at this point, or are you saying that a reskin of the same physical map really be enough to appease you?
>>
>>733759168
>you saying that a reskin of the same physical map really be enough to appease you?
It would absolutely be better and not take much effort at all as a minimum yeah.

Baseball has lines you follow and segmented play but it doesn't have anything like, for instance, having to run around corners and pick out people hopping around a fountain or vendor stalls, or even more broadly for MOBAs worrying about where people are positioned etc. It's not even approaching the dynamic play levels that involve a structured map space with obstacles and environmental elements with variable player positions and intentionally crafted design elements to result in (broadly defined and ultimately as I am arguing malleable) areas of specific engagement.

They give more value imo
>You want it on supports/tanks
It doesn't give much health either, if it gave 1% spirit/gun resist per stack it'll be a little better but as is it's trash
>>
>>733759538
Also, ultimately, most sports had different spacings for a long time of their history. Baseball lengths between bases, football fields, hockey rinks etc weren't standardized or had competing norms for ages in general. And even when playing casually lots of people play many of these sports on very different sized fields. Not everyone has access to a full sized football field but you can play a good game on something half the size. Same with hockey of course. Because actually the "map" size for most of these is arbitrary and can be changed and it's not a big deal.

The Deadlock setting does feel Darkstalkers adjacent.
>>
>>733755187
Guardian Ward gives +10% ability range to ALL abilities passively in addition to its barrier. Divine Barrier increases that to 15% and purges all debuffs. If you want AOE that stacks with Greater Expansion, those are the better option imo. I used to run Trophy Collector on Doorman, but he really benefitted massively from every single stat it adds, including the souls because he needs his tier 3 ability upgrades badly. I do think it's legitimate to buy it for the souls if your character needs their ability points.

>Can anyone help me with crouch sliding? What do you all bind it to? Ctrl isn't good

>>733759854
you can get 1K from a fate wave and a tier 3 camp gives 1k also late game IIRC, on the other hand on a good game trophy collector at best gives 6000(net 3000) if the game lasts like 40 minutes and you get stacks consistently. They really need to buff that item

cosmetics for each hero and different parts of them
cosmetics for the map (different jungle camps, mid boss, weather effects) and potentially even entire maps being cosmetics, but that seems like a bit too much
killstreaks and icon effects (something else instead of the blue fire you get, icons for being hurt, doing well, etc being different)

Seriously what a shame. The characters and art have so much charm but they really stuffed it into a marriage of the two most inherently casual-unfriendly game genres ever.

It shouldve just been a spiritual successor to Quake/TF2. MOBAs are so fucking gay.

When the game is new and everyone sucks at it it's casual friendly

You just suck lol. And nobody expects you to learn all that shit at once especially in newfag elo.
Try engaging with the game instead of instantly giving up because you don't immediately master it in your first few hours. Or don't. I'm not your dad I can't make you stop being a gay little baby

And while I'm at fuck gorillaniggers who keep playing celeste in that mode. Literally braindead character all you need to do is build stamina master(which they get enhanced) and then smash your dick all over the shift key because you move at the speed of light, shit out that retarded fucking barrier with its equally retarded fucking silence and even more retarded fucking movespeed shitting out endless damage thanks to your miniscule cooldowns and then miss your ultimate because you're a braindead nigger, accidentally hit a minion in the back and then you've won the teamfight.

>>733776274
>You just suck
I probably have more hours in games like Quake and it's successors than you have hours on this Earth you stupid ritalin addicted zoomer
I have no problem learning movement tech. But having to juggle that with ASSFAGGOTS mechanics is retarded.
>Heres this game with tons of fast paced movement options where running and gunning would feel fucking awesome
>Except no dont do that you need to go mindlessly slap jungle camos and clear waves
Its like giving someone a drag racer and then forcing them to drive NASCAR style. Its self contradictory.

Because Rivals and Overwatch dont scratch the itch of a game like Quake or TF2? Their movement is boring and heavily constricted. Meanwhile in Deadlock you can clearly see and feel the Quake/Source in its DNA.
But the fact that the point of the game pulls you away from shooting the enemy feels like it serves no purpose other than a desire to be unique.
Everything about the game is simultaneously telling your brain you should be blasting motherfuckers, but no sorry stay in lane and hit creep waves, no fun allowed.
Here anon I found you an M60 you can take to the range and fire except oops I locked it to single fire and lobotomized it so it can only fire 9mm.
Yeah that sounds like a fucking hoot, huh?

Just refusing to engage with the game because you can't or are unwilling to learn
Your point is even more retarded since the moba mechanics are simple as fuck. There's no complex macro unless you find Push wave > Farm Jungle > Take objective a incomprehensible concept.

Why is Grey Talon wearing Sam Fisher's goggles?

>>733777125
Street Brawl fucking sucks.
Your items are random and usually different than what youd play regularly, and none of the maps movement tech and options matters because everyones stuck in one lane.

>>733777160
This is the other thing. Games can take 40 minutes and youre often stuck there. You cant bounce after a round like quake or TF2, and its not like a hero shooters where its capped at what, 20 minutes?
I do not understand this sudden complacency of retards who want to be stuck in a single match of ANY game for 40 fucking minutes. Why do you think Dota plummeted in popularity?

>>733777178
Youre a retarded butthurt shill. Also
>No macro game
Literally every guide on how to play the game written by high ranked players says otherwise.
So not only are you a shill but youre a stupid fucking shill.

his skin color is better. not just black now, more like ash-colored. i think it's better

I played Deadlock a few months before Venture came out. My main issues with it were a lot of characters have boring as fuck hero designs.

My main issue coming back now is that even though people like Mina and Graves are pure sex, they play in very boring ways.

It's also just funny thinking how many people think Deadlock is like this mega hard game, no nigga you're all just bad and never played dota.
>>
>>733778727
What I respect is that the style of his run was more important then fixing the pants clipping into the suit and I agree.

Ah yes, arenaniggers making excuses not to play a video game, a tale as old as time.

They should fix his ult so that people would stop fucking spawning 3 meters away from where they were hoteled. He is basically unplayable without Vortex Web at this point.

> muh real man's game is harder
Nigga, no shit the game with 20 years of accumulating knowledge and variables + a more autistic playerbase is somehow more difficult than the 2-year old unfinished game that also repurposes a modicum of the former's mechanics.

That said, my Dotafag only friends somehow shit the bed worse in Deadlock than my other friend group that only play shooters kek.

You should be impressed it doesn't look worse considering Neon Prime was a midwit art majors class project

Game is literally so fun, charging as Abrams or shotgun stunning then punching with venator reminds me of TF2 mixed with L4D abilities + overall Dota objectives. It's fucking amazing. Game is peak, also modded big boob gameplay into it. Best multiplayer game in the past 15 years

Why would that matter? The game looks like shit compared to actual games (not skinnerbox games) with art style. You don't even post a screenshot from inside the buildings because you know I'm right.

There's no wave management in this game, even though "freezing" is possible 99% of the time you just push the wave.
