New Deadlock patch is outhttps://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1422450/view/670617878982034052tl;dr game is now focused on more fast-paced team fights
Risk of Rain 2 is still the better game
played about 2 matches making it so the urn drop off is in the middle I think is actually great, its way easier to start team fights now instead of fucking minutes of meandering about
LashGODs keep winning.
>>739410981so basically they brought back urn from 4 lane era
just fuck my shit up
>>739410907I've read enough. Nerf Bebop.
>>739411042
>>739410907more pls
>>739410907>tl;dr game is now focused on more fast-paced team fightsI'M... I'M GONNA BROOOOOOOL
>hey guys snowballing is a huge issue>i know let's take the only comeback objective and make it really winning-team-sidedsomeone post icefrog the epic comic
>>739410907>new T1 active item>400 shields Great, now I can counter Mirage in early game without spending 1600 or 3200
>>739412025Because retards keep treating game like some sort of team shooter instead of assfaggots with shooter elements.
>>739410907who cares it's still full of hackers to the brim
>>739412338It still the problem in top ranks
>>739412450proof?
>>739413034I died to Vendicta 15 times
>>739411062Hes not allowed to be relevant because uh...he makes me feel bad when he ults me!
>>739413034it's a Valve game
haven't paid attention to t his game since january. any new hero leaks?
>>7394110628 seconds is fucking retarded
>>739413517Slork continues to live in our hearts.
>>739410981I like it because it solves the two major issues urn had for the majority of the playerbase>urn is a boring mechanic to dobasically the person who played to pick up urn spent half a minute minimum running across the map, so even though the proper way to play is to pick it up on spawn and run it, lots of bad players(the vast majority of the playerbase) ignored it completely>bad players wouldnt even show up to drop offnow that the urn is in mid its basically unavoidable the droolers that compose the playerbase that spend 20 minutes deepthroating mid walker to throw their game are already at the dropoff, and they get to play a teamfight as their rewardunfortunately at the highest level people dont like it because its too hard to stop the winning team from snowballing it, its also less dynamic in terms of risk/reward compared to the last iteration, i.e. no trading walker for urn or free early urns due to the dropoff being deep on one side of the map, not having mid guardian for instance means its completely impossible to contest
>wraith is untouched in patchlol, lmao even
Kelvin found dead in ditch, ice beam renamed to tickle beam
>>739414732Good, fuck that Kevin guy
>>739414732100% deserved
>>739410907>mostly buffs for my brawl mains>fagpollo nerfsneat
PvE mode when?
>>739414732The plus side is that the urn change gives his ult even more value. The enemy has to literally sit on the drop point otherwise it's free urn.
I want an Ixian war veteran as a hero, to make him spoopy maybe he has PTSD not from the usual way, but because he has the literal ghosts of his war buddies.Maybe has some words to say about the Ixian characters.Not sure what his wish would be from patrons or his kit.
>>739414741>>739414772At least they buffed Rem and Paige along with items they like, but they keep taking Kelvins scalings out back and breaking their kneecaps. His ice grenade have received two substantial decreases now, and his Ice Beam just took a huge loss this patch of almost a full 25% decrease in power. >>739414838If it doesn't stop urn that is, which it probably will since it stops rejuv and a dropped urn.
Future Ixian Queen and some mutt licking her
>>739410907more like shitlock gay ass tranny game and devs
>>739414896Let's face it, Kelvin had a problem, especially with health scaling. Imagine 6-5k health tank ice skating to you in mach 5 speed with long ass beam which gives him 12 exposure stacks in second.
I liked the game better when it was a 4 lane moba. Not sure what they're turning it into.
>>739413517no but they added this item that cancels out most ultsbasically linkens from dota
They will never ever balance this game. No matter what they do cutting the roster in half removing items anything they still wont get it balanced. Nothing they do will fix it.I hope they eventually realize that and just make it a fun game full of dumb chaotic stuff with lots of heroes.street brawl is more fun than standard
>>739414978his beam is not even the biggest problem, the bomb stops your stamina from regen for like 10 seconds and it's stacking ability
>>739415170And his ult is free out of jail card which he could use to heal, wait up slowing hex/knockdown and skate away from you
>>739414978I ran through a few pages of match history, I don't normally breach 5k but I am sitting pretty at around 4.5k~ and sometimes even have resistances for certain characters, so I suppose that's fair. Still, a nerf to his damage doesn't really fix that problem.
>flying carpet gives you passive -15% gravity Celeste players, we are flying with this one
>>739415308damn, that nuke owl talon
>>739415394I love to see a talon in my ranks, because they are watching the map and enemy health more than their own lane. I know if I disengage and the enemy portrait is critical, I have a drone strike coming my way.
>>739415526Talon on enemy team>the second you turn red you get his owl on your assTalon on my team>sends owl immediately after cooldown without any particular aim>usually targets full health players>any help tips or criticism takes as an insult it's all so tiresome
>>739415308>those itemsSo people do eventually play the game to end asap. I'm in Oracle and people still refuse to push the enemy base until they have 6 tier 4 items
>>739410907>doorman continues to be shit>lash continues to be shitI think I'll continue not playing, the devs clearly hate my favs
Why are games so long this patch? Shrine backdoor protection shouldn't have this much of an impact
>>739416776you are sub saharan africa elo btw
>matchamaking time completely went to shit since yesterdaygame ded ?
>>739417257No one wants to play with this new urn, it completely fucked up the game.
>>739417257Since yesterday? I play solo at ascendant ranks and it's always 5+ minutes for a match. Most times it's about 7 minutes. Didn't notice a change.
gender game
>>739418567new record, 20 minutes right now, still waiting
Garbage game i think alot of people realize this lol 50post 10 hoursonly appeal is for jerkoffs and freaks
>>739419075Wow, sorry to hear that. Good luck on your match if/when you find one.
YamaCHADs run this joint now
>read the patch notesOkay, so they're Dotafying the fuck out of the game again.
>>739410907
>>739410907The Mother's Arch summons the Hidden King in my pants.
>>739419153I fucking hate YamatoI fucking hate Grey TalonI fucking hate Graves(they all got buffed)
Doorman niggas still making eternus players mad while they get countered hard in my rank.How?
>>739410907Trash game is so bad they remove the report sub-forum and i think from the discord too.Guys its just beta!
New urn is ass.It's just guaranteed for the enemy if you lost mid. Running urn while the other team is in mid to split is no longer an option. At least Ivy bullshit is less powerful.I know it's supposed to be a Cap The Point sorta thing, but it pops in like 4 seconds. You have to heavy melee it so people just parry on it. so it's just a the Rejuv gimmick but shitter.Also no longer shits out a ton of souls which someone could stealth nab, I liked that.The music is neat. If they implemented this mechanic combined with the old moving urn drop-off spots it'd be okay.
>>739420535does Apollo have to target an enemy with Riposte to dash away now?
Love me Magic Carpet but now Celeste is gonna be even more cancerous. Knockdown already did jackshit since she can just be in another zipcode by the time you burst her.Looks like only Maurice and Krilliam can save us...
>>739410907The game crashes my PC at the moment so I'm not playing until that's fixed.
>>739421239Kareeb and Mohammed will save us mashallah
The urn was always retarded.
>>739410907>base hp reducedImmediately complete dogshit changes, wonderful.
>>739419153
>>739423912There is a part of me that still thinks parts of McG's old model looked better.In any case, it should be a mix of old and new.
>>739424459
have they fixed the matchmaking yet?
>>739410907>tl;dr game is now focused on more fast-paced team fightsI don't play Deadlock but I just saw this while scrolling past, I've seen this meme before enjoy getting your game absolutely raped lmaoI'm... I'M... I'M GONNA BROOOOL I'M BROOOOLINGDUDE LE HECKING EPIC MEMEBACK AND REVERSE-SNOWBALLINGDUUUUDE REDDIT'S GONNA LOVE THIS ONE, FORCED TEAMPLAY MEMEBACK BRAWLS IN SOLO QUEUE
>>739413517the singer is coming
>>739414945>no wraith or calico>no abrams or apollo
>>739424459Her old model was beefy without being fat. Her new neck makes her look obese. Honestly you could just take her old model and change it into her current clothes and it would probably be fine.
>>739423264Now it's even more retarded. Lose Urn fight, lose mid, lose farm, lose the game.
>Shiv nerfed>Again
>>739410907>no Ivy changes Well at least she wasn't nerfed.
>>739428654You fuckers deserve it ever since that shotgun slide getaway shit became the meta.
>>739427993Maybe they'll realize they should just scrap it>inb4 adds something gayer and more retarded to replace it
>>739428654>>739428837Funny how What they did to Shiv's ult they did the opposite for Riposte
>>739428959because shiv ult was a huge buff in retrospect so inverting it worked out to neuter apollo's mobility
>>739420148Talon's faster-activating 2 and better air movement is offset by its shorter duration sadly.
>>739410907>8 second cooldown before you can close the fucking doorWHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT!?!
>>739429565kidnap doorman now needs his team to do shit to secure a kill instead of it being walker/doorman only. carting some faggot into an impossible to get out from spot now becomes possible unless they willingly go into door range during a setup
>ninjas complain about there being too much off time and not enough team fights>change shit so team fights are more often >NOOOO we dont want that There is no winning
>game is now focused on more fast-paced team fightsTurn it into a TD or tower push game, and I might be interested.
>>739429565Can you echo shard to instantly close a door? I don't feel like testing it
>closed beta>already going brool mode
>>739428817Changing the urn mechanic was her nerf. What's the point of high mobility character if ferrying the urn no longer works and only central lane matters?
>>739429945Nope, doesn't work.
>>739414910Future Queen of Ixia and a future Catholic nun licking her.
>>739430597>>739414910>Future Queen of IxiaDoes the game mention about her relationship with Apolo?
>>739430706They are both acting like tsunderes to each other during their conversations and interactions, also they both are in the same academy and class.
>>739425830big lady.
>>739416565One of the biggest differences in high Ascendant and Eternus is that people usually understand when to take objectives and how to push them effectively, so in general yes, the average match length gets lower the higher you get
>>739430767Never ask an Ixian supremacist what the race of his girlfriend is.
>>739410907>Paradox: Time Wall T1 duration increased from +2.5s to +3.5s>Paradox: Time Wall T3 increased from +1 Charge to +2>Paradox: Time Wall T3 Charge Delay reduced from 4s to 2sFucking amazing.Is this wilful reality denial at this point? Every patch since March they try to bait you into taking the stupid charges. There's a reason nobody ever picks up the T5 and that's because the wall itself does fucking nothing. Its only current use is being half a slowing hex on swap and maybe dropping one in lane to trade better if they're too retarded to just rush your ass through it. You can make it give +9999 charges and nobody will pick the upgrade up anyway because it's a goddamn cosmetic effect. "Give wall charges back" was the biggest monkey paw ever.
>>739430324>What's the point of high mobility character if ferrying the urn no longer works and only central lane matters?So you can rat faster and harderI still want double tether back...
>>739430597>and a future Catholic nunuuhhhhh based
>>739433010you can use it to amp your team's objective damage or neutral farm since those dont move
>DEIlock
This game's entire playerbase is woke millenitroons that obsess over TF2
>>739434145True, yeah. Good luck getting your team to form a firing line to shoot through it but it does at least boost your own output, so that's something.Of course the weapon damage amp does not stack through multiple walls so there's still zero reason to have more than one up in this scenario.
need werewolf wife
>be vyper>ricochet, toxic bullets, tesla bullets>team lash grabs entire enemy team and slams them into me>i fucking melt them>he does this multiple times>winDamn, imagine how wet Vyper's slit must have been. No wonder she can slide around like that.
>>739437105I'm sure in the world of deadlock they would have developed mirrors for vampire's
>>739420201because bell doorman(which was broken pre patch) is still broken, hes a utility character the damage of gray talon, what got nerfed is the gimmicky kidnap play style that shitters are obsessed with because its epic
>>739411062Did they make him look like Jerma on purpose? He has the exact same hair coif even
>>739437964Pretty sure the joke in his design is that he is ginger(which have no soul).
>Ixians are supposed to have an affinity to fire>3 (abrams, apollo and potentually cadance) have nothing fire based in them>the only 1 fire ixian (who is actually a mutt) is infernus
>>739437690depends on why mirrors don't workif its because of the silver in them then aluminum based mirrors hit mass production in the 30s so they're already common
>>739438315I think I heard somewhere that it was retconned to just being a rare ability of some ixians and not a thing they all dobut yeah it's only on the one guy who gives 0 shits about Ixia and also Talon's dead daughter-in-law. I don't think he's mixed though he mentions both his parents when he talks about Ixia with Apollo
>>739437690>nigger believes people lived in midhuts up until 1900
>>739438771they quite litcherally still do btw
>>739430324Honestly Ivy's urn carrier capabilities were a bit scuffed already, since carrying an urn-bearer slowed you greatly. I think she's still good, since I perceive her main strength bringing players into team fights.
>>739438824ivy has never fallen below a 52% winrate at all ranks, yes she's still good
>>739438730Maybe they can make it>black skin - fire>red skin - agility>blue skin - hardiness
>>739412025>winning team sided>favored and unfavored urn now give underdog team a 60m aura of 50% total reduced damageuh
>>739412450yep
>>739420535Ivy's ult was already laughably kneecapped for urn deliveries.
>>739439059for reference thats about 8-9k souls worth of resistance PER PLAYER on the comeback team, which activates the moment either team picks it up within that 60m range, imagine a team being down 10k and getting 40k souls worth of stats and calling it favored for the other team, that doesnt even go into how much more risky the ahead team has to play to melee the urn
>>739439293Yeah I don't think people understand that the underdog team can just fucking sit with urn in base to defend or fucking push with it like a standard. It doesn't even silence you anymore so gooman will just roll around with it on him constantly.
>>739436609it took me around 30 painful games as silver but I'm starting to feel her now. been hitting some nasty bolas and more or less consistently landing her shotgun combo which is directly affecting my winrate on silver. feels good man
>tl;dr game is now focused on more fast-paced team fightsSurely Icefrog Farming Simulator focusses on PvP now rather than amassing whatever currencies you can farm in the game.
>>739430767Pretty based ship ngl
>>739424459Her hairband completely ruins her design, despite it fitting with her theme.
new urn mechanic is fucking ass
>>739410907How do I get an invite.
werewolf-on-vampire lovin'
>Rank reset AGAIN cause i havent played in a month or soIs this just me or is it a new change
>>739442347Those are some masculine faces.
>>739443006Afaik rank decay is very harsh in Deadlock.I lost a few ranks when I took a break earlier this year.Icefraud is too busy playing around with item stats and urn mechanics to fix matchmaking or add draft.
