Fuck Ivy
>>736120830How much did they pay Elon for that
>>736120830> Another pvp moba-hero shooter with zoomer esthetics and awful visual styleYou DO realize that this shit is dead on arrival, right?
>>736120830who owned it before?
>>736121116They all want that zoomer fortnite crowd, zoomers I think have moved on from that by now mostly
>>736120830this game has convinced me that icefrog actually is a hack and everything dota 7.00 onwards is because he lost whatever peerless game design rizz he used to have

>>736120830kinda burnt myself out over christmas with that challenge and now im only playing streetbrawl
>>736121116retard
>>736120830It's just more creep farming sloppa.Some devious psychologist at Valve realized they can squeeze more playtime by replacing conventional quick play matches with these unnecessarily long pseudo foreplay sessions where you spend 30 minutes being drip fed dopamine and play mostly by yourself, then, right near the end, they give you a little taste of the actual player v player combat you're after, it ends immediately after and leaves you wanting more, you're tricked into thinking you had fun, you're tricked into starting another match, you immediately regret it, repeat ad infinitum, here we are.
>>736121643This.
>>736121643Yeah he clearly does not know what the fuck to do at this point, is just throwing random ideas from dota all the time and hopes something sticks it feels like
Silver has fuzzy armpits and a knot
>>736121643dota is in a much better state now compared to back then
>>736123554sure if you're a big brool fan.
it is inevitable
>>736120927I wish
>>736121116Yep. It's getting demolished once it goes public, aggressively tumblr.
>>736123872>tftroon thinks xis game will get more attention from daddy Valve if Deadlock crashes and burns>actually siding against a fellow Valve projectIncredibly shameless
>multiplayer LMAO go sell it to the zooms if you can
>>736120830Change gaming how? It's a yet another moba game
>>736121643>>736123456qrd?
>mobaStop saying this
>>736124361tried it for an hour and it was boring as shit
>>736124653Goys prefer game to stagnate and play the same forever
>>736125013and what does TF2 have to do with it?
Deadlock feels like the ultimate Schrödinger's cat. A game whose very state of life and death is in deadlock. A game that has the potential to both fail and succeed and which outcome is going to be decided on whether valve ends up adding an alternate game mode that avoids all the shit the main one currently has.It already sort of happened once with street brawl. It's going to be a question of if valve goes all in and does something like that at full map scale.
>>736121116aesthetics*
What does the cube feel like?
>>736125176>A game whose very state of life and death is in deadlockKINO
>>736124361>actually siding against a fellow Valve project>Incredibly shamelessNah if anything is pathetic it's that kind of blind dev fanboyism.
>>736125176No one with self respect play street brawl
Imagine working at Valve for over a decade, putting your heart and soul into games that never see the light of day only to see yet another ASSFAGGOTS game somehow making it out the door. How would that feel like?
>>736121116Turdies love valve because their slop works on toasters. It will probably sit around 50-80k comfortably for a few years
>>736125015No, accounts like the same game forever because it makes their quarterly charts easy.Subhuman 3rdies can only afford 1 f2p game in their pathetic lives so cant let it go. Games have a finite lifespan, after 10 years unless its some in depth simulator that no one makes anymore, fucking move on. Retard.
>>736124653for me it's the wide-open map that has routes to and from everywhere and does absolutely nothing to impede the air game, the macro/econ game consisting entirely of forced timings and lane populations, and half of the skills and items having obtuse and overly-specific often-hidden interactions and conditional buffs/debuffs so it's basically impossible to fully understand specifically how a build actually works unless you literally actually nolife the game to the point where even most players in high ranks just blindly follow or slap together guides based on feels and have no real understanding of what's happening any deeper than "this item is good because it makes x ability or synergy better with good efficiency :)"it's a game that operates on subconscious heuristics before anything else, it rewards total sublimation of the self to the gamespace and resists external analysisit is is a massive monolithic dark pattern
>>736125292Which is to say people have gotten bored of street brawl by now. Which is inevitable. But it doesn't take a genius to see the suddenly spike of enjoyment from the game when street brawl got added. It's really obvious this game's worst enemy is its own genre.
>>736120830How much did the boys get paid?
>>736122460Why do people keep saying this? Does Silver have voicelines about baking?
>>736125015By which you mean it's jews who constantly push for games relying on updates so they can keep selling shit.
>>736121116It has the best aesthetics of any video game in the last 15 years tho
>>736125493SILVER'S A COOKIE

>>736125565Nah
>>736125640Ah, the game that came out to how could I forgot
>>736125493Furry dog whistle for bestiality. It's talking about animal shaped genitalia because apparently animal genitalia is shaped like a fortune cookie somehow
>>736125131it's the better game and valve should focus on that instead of this generislop
>setting is in NY>full of freaks and criminalWhat does Valve mean by this
>>736125836lol dumbass
The characters are ugly afImagine one of the faces of the game being a ugly ginger faggot lmao
>>736125252Mate TF2fags are the most insecure of the Valve fanboys.Look at >>736123872. There's nothing in common between TF2 and the "dead" slop besides being videogames and having guns.Back in the day the TF2-OW1 rivalry seemed like a thing, but that's only because people made it look like OW1 was "made as a TF2 killer". After that it got to their heads that they're unstoppable and starting matching themselves with other completely irrelevant games to appear superior. All not counting how insanely autistic the fanbase is.>>736125889Focus on what?>cosmetics>mapsThey're already doing that, good goy>hacking botsDidn't they do something about it, and it didn't work out anyway? Besides, death to Casual faggots. Community Servers is the only way to go.>weapons, balancingSee how massive of a shitstorm will happen. The game will stay stagnant as it is until it dies. Move on.
>>736126029All the fanboys from any game are insecure
why are deadlock threads on /v/ so dead
>>736126029>Mate TF2fags are the most insecure of the Valve fanboys.Oh yeah TF2fags are completely retarded. Thing is I'm seeing that same retardation moving onto Deadlock.
>>736126660Russia has their own chans
>>736126660>deadThey're not usually like this, blame op for being a faggot and the browns for raiding the thread instead.
>>736126660wrong timezone, even the /vg/ general slows down around this time
If there's one thing I miss about online games is how casual they whereI miss dropping into a random TF2 lobby getting some frags doing some meme loadouts having fun with the enemy team and then leaving after a few hoursDeadlock isn't casual or fun enough to facilitate this kind of mindset every game is about busting your balls for 35 minutes straight
>>736126971>I miss dropping into a random TF2 lobby getting some frags doing some meme loadouts having fun with the enemy team and then leaving after a few hoursWhat's stopping you from doing this now?
>>736120830Deadlock is great.Takes a while to get used to. But is an excellent game system.
>>736127038casual mode fucking sucks and most community servers are full of tryhards
>>736123435If you're bad at these games, yes.If you're me, you buy trophy collecter and dive under tower, then gank, then gank again.
>>736127038I'm talking about when it was quickplay and ranking wasn't a thingstill can't fucking believe it's been a decade since that was added and all of my memories from tf2 where before meet your match
Do you think /v/ buy Surging Dash
The game is worse to play than a year ago. You can't win losing games anymore with strategy. If you your team all have a bad lanes and loss two team fights in midgame you lose. I think the big reason is the new patron rooms and new soul farming. The attackers have the advantage. They can run away and the defense can't see you because the room is huge and there is flashing lights because the patron is seething. Yes it looks cool, but I would say the map was better than the new one, especially blue lane. Before defenders had the advantage when you fought in the circle, also they had more line of sight on the high ground of the base. I remember lossing lane and mid game but have enough skill/strengh to fend off base, which would alow us to snowball back and win the game sometimes. That has only happened once in the last month of me playing this game. Doesn't help that the player base got a whole load of rival and overwatch players who never take down walkers and think the only way to fight is to get in a giant group and brawl, and if one teammate dies they all run away because they used to playing heroshooters because they don't want to feed. I understand its supposed to be a heroshooter/moba but sometimes you have to play the fucking objective and not farm and stall for 10 minutes.
>>736126660the next major patch won't be dropping for another 3 months
>>736120927How and where.
>>736120927
>>736129341>howGive her some tacos>whereHer rocky butthole
>>736120927I'm ready.
>>736123872TF2 lost to overwatch lmao
I like Silver.
>>736129598TF2 died like 3 times and came back more than that before Overwatch was even made. It's more concerning about the state of multiplayer shit that TF2 is even still fucking relevant.
I hate silver
>>736129781>came back more than thatlol it hasn't even got a major update since 2017
>>736129598>>736129897lol, lmao
>>736129897Exactly.
>>736130621>been reduced to just saying "the reviews!" because even with the bots tf2 has less steam activity than overwatch now
>play a match>entire team is on comms and actually knows when to take fights, end the game, etc.>play next game>entire team is drooling mutes that farm jungle creeps, always fight with lower numbers, and go 0-17The matchmaking in this game needs to be studied.
>>736129835bad post
>>736125640crispy critters
>>736123872 tf2fags are fucking unreal hahaha
>>736120830>livesloppa MOBALMAO no
>>736120927>...
>>736133870(literally) built for me
>>736126660Interest tapered off when it's relatively content starved right now. /v more or less had a Deadlock thread everyday for a month with the recent major update in January. Same thing will happen with the next one.
>>736132106there is no matchmaking currently
XD
>>736129598TF2 outlived Overwatch and Overwatch 2 :^)

>>736120830Hero shooter moba slop will save gaming
Even though you have to aim and move the underlying mechanics of the game being so similar to dota really ruins a lot of the game. By that I mean the statuses and importance on economy over gameplay which is a big reason that LoL is way more fun to play with besides the superior character kits. I seriously hope they don't release this year and have a lot of changes for the map content and interactions.
>>736120830I support Geben, but never assfaggots or mooba whatever shit sudaca play so much.
>>736121116I wanna fuck Paige while she reads to me all the filthy fanfic shit she wants me to do to her.
>>736136735Just going to also add that it's flat out not fun to farm for 30 minutes only to win/lose in a single fight. Begs the question what the difference is at the 15th vs the 30th+ minute mark? The complexity and content doesn't exist yet to say those points are different except for the arbitrary respawn timers. The over abundance of status slop is antithetical to the 3rd person shooter movement shooter experience they need to make consequences more actionable whether that's by weighting respawn punishments behind an objective or giving teams reasons to accomplish one thing over another. Such as focusing on killing tiers of towers earlier, or acquiring player kills, or greeding resources on the map; each of those deserve to have their own goals beyond gaining more souls. Goals that reward teams with interactive reasons to make a big push, send a lane to invade to stop something, have players risk roaming to take down a strong character your team is powering up. It can't just be money.Gaining free lives from midboss is a mindless solution that takes consequence away from players while limiting the extent to which one team can punish another for bad macro. I want to see teams given ways to try to counter each others macro goals beyond forcing a 6v6 on a timer with the urn or midboss. Those should be significant but not the only thing going on for literally 20+ minutes after lane. This passive dota design philosophy that strips players of their agency with entropy doesn't work when you're playing this kind of game. It goes from peak gaming to a cancerous stressful slog.
feel that the diference is that valve can waste the money as long they want.not like other life services that shut down the servers the moment they didnt make the money back.
>>736121116Yeah, but it's made by Valve. The game has its own tranny cult baked in already.
>>736120830As a schizoid, this means little to me.
>>736120830It's gonna be DoA purely because of the shitty anticheat
>>736121116Deadlock is literally this meme for everyone who tries it.
>>736136735>which is a big reason that LoL is way more fun to playGood bait.
>>736140160I've tried it and it's just a shitty zoomer e-sports wannabe game.
>>736140946>zoomer>sinking time to learn anythingWhat a retard take
>>736141019Anon it's a zoomer zoom zoom game, it's literally Dota for the zoomer audience. Everyone playing it are just playing it to try and be big in the next "e-sports"Entire game and community is pure zoomer cancer
>zoomer this zoomer thatThis is the actual audience for this game, the Valve fanbase
>>736125493It's internet slang for pussy. Anons are so deprived of woman's touch they are thirsting over a dog woman.
>>736125565It had promise, but it won't materialize.
>>736125565THIS!Only racist chuds hate this game
>>736120830It's been out for like 3 years, if it was going to change anything it'd already be doing it>bbbbut It's not releasedDOTA2 wasn't released for years after it had already had major competitions.Deadlock is Dead Already.
So... Open beta soon?
>>736141815Having played Calico after the buffs, I love her voice lines. She desperately needs a model update though.
>>736141779You just know it was paige and celeste that prompted some faggot to make this.
>>736142468Perhaps, but I agree with the sentiment. Every time I see new stuff from the game, it looks less appealing, somehow.I'd be really curious to know, what the other onen is seeing in the game, if he consideres that "the best aesthetics" in years.
>>736140160Hate that this is true and I've been opposed to ASSFAGGOTS all my life.>>736141256(You)
Has Valve ANNOUNCED Deadlock yet?
>>736142468To be fair, it’s not that far off.
>>736142468>this image is completely accurate but (snarky reddit comment)
>>736144139>0.05 Steambucks™ has been deposited into your steam account
>>736142728>>736145474>>736145565But its not accurate. Its a shitty image which misconstrued both elements its trying to portray.
>>736141779it was always going to be right when its going to sell hats
>>736120830Dota crossover event when?
>>736145251No.Many people treat it like it has though, especially ecelebs trying to make a career out of it.
>>736140160I started playing it hyped, thinking it's gonna be at least as awesome as Dota, and 20 hours of disappointment later uninstalled.Deadlock is not for everyone.
>>736125243It jacks you off, that's what heals you.
>>736141779>>736142468Is he wrong though?
>>736120830It's not approachable or fun. I don't like the game mechanics. I would rather have a better tf2, or like a supernatural 1920s rpg
>>736146308Hotpoo is working on a PvE mode, so expect a Risk of Lock side mode (maybe).
>>736121207me. t. about to order a GT3 RS thanks gabeN :)
>>736120927fpbp I kneel
>>736145789I do it for free :^)
>>736121116peak retard. this game is in alpha and people are playing the fuck out of it.
>>736120830It has no major appeal so it wont change shit, this genre is unironically too unemployed for any casuals to play it with how long games last At least now I know why people who play mobaslop treat it like a job. It will be funny watching the clones come out and flopping thou just like regular hero shooters
>>736147016Counterpoint 1:League of Legends (~30 mins games on average, for Deadlock it's 40)Counterpoint 2:They are developing casual modes like Brool or PvEI don't expect the game to challenge DotA or CS because those games have legacy fanbases and the current landscape of gayming to capture a new audience is quite competitive, but I think it'll be among the top 10 on Steam for a long time. All depends of course on how much and how long Valve are willing to support it, the crew working on TF2 became obviously tired of working on it after ~8 years
>>736145837>misconstrued both elementsHow come? The earliest stuff that was revealed made it look really gritty and noir. They have definitely strayed away from that.>>736145889>it was always going to be right when its going to sell hatsYeah, I'm honestly of this same opinion. I don't think any game has managed to pull off lootboxes AND a consistent, gritty style.
>Broooo that's le heckin VALVE they gonna change gaming FOREVAAAA that's VALVERINO broooo they cant make a bad gameAlyx was mid VR roller coaster, Artifact was a disastrous failure and underlords was such a trash that not many people even know it existed.
>hire a pro BLM dev just because he's woke to work on the game>bought the campo santo studio because they were super wokewhy do Valve love wokies so much?
>>736146045they could enchantress as a character permanently, chuking spears, healing, charming cc
>>736146045Just copy paste techies over to deadlock so I can place 60 mines in front of sinners
Game is still too complex for me. Does every play just use the same meta build or does the game actually have varied builds?
>>736146045>>736146075Why does Deadlock only have Vyper as a monstergirl? Valve are betraying their roots, Dota has like a dozen.>SilverHuman, doesn't count. Also safe furry.>IvyUgly, forced meme, spic
>>736141815Wow this looks like shit, etc happened to valve
>>736146384That sounds pretty fun actually. I would love a 1920s supernatural cyberpunk or half-life as well. The gameworld and characters have promise, I just don't like the one game mode they have.
>>736148012they have 2 gamemodes doe
>>736148174Brool is quite a letdown, gets boring real quick because people are, for some ungodly reason, metafagging even more than the normal mode.
People are quick to forget that Valve didn't make dota, they just bought out icefrog. Valve hasn't made a good game since like Portal 2. Artefact and Underlords were hilariously bad.
>>736148741As a card game, Artifact was great, it was everything else around it that sucked, especially the monetization
>>736142728>you can magically gatekeep things against the wishes of the people who make the thingIf that's possible then why aren't you doing it you massive fag? To busy shitting op /v/ to save gaming, are you? Useless self-righteous retards.
Should I get into Deadlock? I've never played anything multiplayer besides WoW and Runescape
>>736149250its just the same shitty map every game and it has no sense of progression
>>736121116I literally cannot think of a single other moba hero-shooter
>>736120830>realiseForeigner alert.
Hispanic tongue job from Ivy
>>736149250No, you need a PhD in Dota with a minor in Counter Strike first >never played a multiplayer game beforeYou will get molested
>>736149250It's a MOBA with some third person shooter stuff like sliding, vertical level design and wall jumps. Should already tell you if you want to play it. Requires at least a good 30-50hrs of investment before it clicks.
