>>749823991
>>749823584this character seems really fucking boring in both design and playstyle
>>749824130She's generic Asian fodder for skins, what did you expect?

>>749824284how do you follow up a character that is an undead corporate shill for the product that killed him with something so generic she looks like a gacha game collab
How did she win the vote? Every single game I was in was pretty much 10 or 12x Nurse? Did the shit elo just exclusive vote for her?

>>749824514holy shit keep seething you fucking homo
Is Valve into Girlfailures or something?Like at least she does have a personality, but likegetting constantly high and being a failed artist isn't really being a role model.She's also the only character that likes Danny besides Haze. And might be the only girl in the game that is genuinely autistic. Paige is just a creepy introvert, but Violet is straight up autistic and sounds like it.
safe horny harrowfags are just seething
>>749824550Asians were voting since day 1 for her and grinding Jeet brool to do so>>749824608>It's ANOTHER social climber Asian >She's also a BWC gobbler because she flirts with Billy How original At least you can use her paint to draw windmills of friendship and slurs
>>749824728is this the angle? she's not even that hot, the game already has hotter chicks that have more personality than this overwatch-tier garbage
this seems fair

>female Kezkekarooooooo
>>749824972Last night I dreamed I was plugged right in To a bubblin’ hookah so high, When all of a sudden some Arab jinni Jump up just a-winkin’ his eye. “I’m here to obey all your wishes,” he told me, As for words I was trying to grope. “Good buddy,” I cried, “you could surely oblige me By turnin’ me on to some dope!” With a bigfat smile he took ahold of my hand, And we flew down the sky in a flash, And the first thing I saw in the land where he took me Was a whole solid mountain of hash! All the trees was a-bloomin’ with pink ’n’ purple pills,Whur the Romilar River flowed by, To the magic mushrooms as wild as a rainbow, So pretty that I wanted to cry. All the girls come to greet us, so sweet in slow motion, Morning glories woven into their hair, Bringin’ great big handfuls of snowy cocaine, All their dope they were eager to share. Well we dallied for days, just a-ballin’ and smokin’, In the flowering Panama Red, Just piggin’ on peyote and nutmeg tea, And those brownies so kind to your head. Now I could’ve passed that good time forever, And I really was fixing to stay, But you know that jinni turned out, t’be a narco man, And he busted me right whur I lay. And he took me back, to this cold, cold world, ‘N’ now m’ prison’s whurever I be… And I dream of the days back in Doperland And I wonder, will I ever go free?

>>749825298jesus christ what self insert shit is this
>>749825246its really funny how she seems to be exactly what you'd expect her to be but the game treats it like she's actually cool and not the most insufferable member of the castits concerning I haven't seen ANY dialogue actually insulting her, even the magical chess negro has a few other heroes calling him on his bullshit this is just one of the dev's mary sue inserts
>>749823584I want everyone who doubted me when I said she was Grimstroke to apologize.
The game isn't even released and it already has a Poochie lol.

>>749824130She feels like a fan oc in the worst way

>>749825246My girlfriends is Asian but from Russia and hates Americans and is a huge chinaboo can she be spared please
>>749825298>>749825325Everybody knows them chinese girls want to have hot, rough lesbian sex with werewolf girls. Just look at Gigi Murin.
She is so Reddit it physically hurts. If she were in any other game, she would be hated. But as always, it's okay when Valve does it.

>>749825246>Flirts with both Billy and Victor>Student loans lines in fucking 1940Asian American women are never beating the allegations
>>749825524>transgendered person's self insertNo, just the self insert of a very real, very boring Asian American woman from Seattle. That's where Valve is from after all, this is west coast shit.
>>749824284Mina without the sauce.

Fuck all you retarded Violetfags. Now there's going to be retarded feeding simps drawing NIGGER in the middle of a match. Very disappointed in you guys. Harrow should have won. This voting contest was rigged. It's Al Gore all over again.

Easily the worst written character in the game lmao, wow. She is fulfilling every stereotype of some 2nd or 3rd generation asian girl.
>>749825662>>749825713Kill yourselves chart pajeets. Violet is the worst thing to have happened in this game since Paige and the setting and writing quality is utterly raped after this batch of sauceless heroes.

At least I learned my instict of being repulsed by the character has been proven correct. This is just some dev's epic quirky self insert about how they moved in to the big city.
Hey look, yet another Asian American female character that absolutely hates their parents. We didn't already get that with Mina or anything.Asian women just can't wear their hatred for their parents and culture on their sleeves. Like always.
>>749823584No one thought she would be invoker
>>749825986They just implemented vc bans for voice chat reports, lmao. And you can't play comp if you have vc ban.

>conventially attractive female that is also extremely talented and has joined the ritual purely for attentioncool writing
good morning redditlolxrandom hamsters haha weed lmao
Paige and Graves already pushed it, but Violet has basically cemented the game's complete departure from its original setting. There is nothing in the way Violet acts that is like a Deadlock character. She is completely anachronistic. Her lines are about stuff like rent, her parents making her play an instrument, going to political rallies, and being mad at her parents for wanting her to get a real job.Graves and Paige had similar problems. Graves just doesn't look like she belongs in Deadlock and acts too much like a stereotypical modern teenager, but she at least kept her lines primarily about her lich so she was in the setting. Paige is a librarian, which existed back then, but she still came across as being a bit too modern. Violet is just full on Seattle native from 2016. I am shocked she doesn't have a line about Student Loan Debt.
>>749824753>>She's also a BWC gobblerthis is supposed to be a bad thing???
>>749826216God this character fucking sucks
Me chinese, me win vote, me put white man’s cock in throat

>>749826231you're right but this batch seems to be a nosedive in quality overallonly danny is goodwe'll see for Harrow
>>749826146
>>749824917She is not a support
>>749826231>I am shocked she doesn't have a line about Student Loan Debt.
Her kit seems pretty cool but personality/design-wise she has extreme OC energy. I wouldn't be surprised if she's a Valve artist's OC.She's easily the most boring character in the game writing-wise. All of her conversations are weak or carried by the other character.So basically everyone who thought she was a boring design was right.
Her ult is kinda disappointing, was hoping for a transformationKit still looks insane though>You can wall off the mid boss pit
>>749826313Fucking retard>>749826345This batch is great and I'm glad that the game's been reaching new players peaks with every new released character. Makes me remember how faggots who still bitch about muh TF2 artstyle doesn't have a clue about what they're talking about

Nurse Harrow lost to this?
I am actually angry that I have to wait nearly a week to play the character everyone actually wanted over this Make-A-Wish cancer patient. I can count on one hand how many of my games had at least a singular vote for this faggot meanwhile we had whole teams voting Harrow. Lame design, lame kit, worst written character in the game. It's motivating me to metafag and play the most busted shit and bully anyone who plays this fucking character. ope all the trannies who botted the votes for this retard are happy at least, it's the only good thing to ever happen in their sad lives.
>>749826401>>749826321
Every other hero eventually grew on me as I get their angle or their characterization rubs off. But not this bitch. She's just literally boring, with contradictory lore, and has nothing going for her other than she's hot.
>>749826446I read this in Krills voice
>>749826410Every character in Deadlock is a Valve artist's OC, do you even know what that means?
>>749826415amazing how this game attracts the most degenerate faggots known to mankind
>>749826472>violet has banged 206 white menwhy the fuck would she tell this to pocket

>>749823584This is so obviously a chink that thinks she is totally hilarious totally funny totally totally self insertThe kit is ok, but fucking Christ the character is the fucking worst there is in the game

Ain't Asians hating their parents like such a common stereotype? Can't believe they actually put it in here as well.
She's Deadlock's Luna Snow

>>749826584Lol you wish, faggot. She's still better written.
She's pure distilled reddit
>>749826415Hot dog!
>>749826582Only Asian females. Asian men would never write a story like this. That's why Elemental is hilarious, as it's the only depiction of an Asian female character actually respecting and venerating her parents, to the point where she is scared of disappointing them, and that's because it's raceswapped because Disney market tested and showed that Asian men are icky, so the Asian director needs to change it.
>>749826538Look at itIt's for the pretentious vile types that think they're too good for anime graphics or something
>>749826627charlie charlie kirky
>>749826628Cool, I accept your concession.
They literally made this self insert bitch one-up Seven. NOBODY in the game does that, ever.Incredible.
>>749826582Asian American women do it themselves.
>>749823584>read these terms and conditions including edge cases x 5 for all 50 characters to playGod didnt make me autistic enough for this shit
>>749826575>every stereotype of a liberal artistyes, what did you expect?
>>749826691Not really one-upping. He tells her something. She forges her own path. He respects it. If Seven kept pushing her to see his vision, that would mean she won.
>>749826729The amount of /v/tards that don't literally get the joke about her being a vain arthoe is amazing then again I'm not surprised about it.
>>749826721>read these terms and conditions including edge cases x 5 for all 50 characters to playThis is nothing compared to Dota. 150+ characters and way more items and all interactions are significantly more esoteric. As far as encyclopedic knowledge goes Deadlock is easy to learn.
>>749826430I mean its a closed testthe release numbers were going to be much higher anywaythis "out of characterness" argument is about longevity, which I say look at Dota 2. the cosmetics aren't the problem for longevity, its the "sauce" and several of these characters only really make others cooler as opposed to being cool or interesting themselvesgranted that not everybody can be Billy, Lash, or Mina
>>749826634I dunno, your fellow Deadlock fags sure are acting like she is
The artist character should have been tortured, like Vincent Van Gogh or Edvard Munch. Someone who actually represented the extremes of the art world. That would have been a lot more interesting than "generic young woman who doesn't like their parents and has student loan debt". Her wish is to get more attention in the art world, that's so lame.Also her backstory is clearly AI slop.>It's not even about being great. It's about being seen by the right person at the right time. Like genuinely I think there should be some outrage about this and Valve should be forced to fix it.
>the lazy college student stereotype already exists, as Rem was toldValve does not care anymore, huh.
>>749826801holy esl retard meltie
>>749825662>>749825713You guys were thinking of Marathon, that's two threads down from here
>>749826776There's nothing about her character that comes off as a joke. None of the other characters push back on her at all.
>>749826872THE LUNA SNOW OF DEADLOCK KEKAROOOOOOO
>>749826810The only intrigue here is that she hates her parents so much she wish they were dead. That goes one above the typical Asian woman's hatred of their parents.This implies they did something to her that she feels far more animosity than "you born me into this world as Asian and not white, I hate you and your culture".
>>749826850its ok anon. i accept your concession
>>749826782Of course the old games have more shit, but they started out low too and people grew with it step by stepNobody starts playing dota 2026

I shall remind you that just a week ago Deadlocktards online were mocking "hero shooter writing" and how Deadlock is far superior.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki45zWAf7e4Thank you Valve.
>>749826908-Maybe- future updates could add more intrigue to her character but I doubt it.
>>749826575seven calling her out for being more two dimensional than her paintings is great
>>749826970They did it for Kelvin. They can do it for this Reddit-tier hero.
>>749826967Again, nothing in the game indicates that it's an ironic/satirical depiction. You're making a baseless assumption.
>>749826969no one cares nigger, keep it to overwatch threads faggot
>>749826810Should have been either a deranged fuck with a mysterious solemn air or just the happiest person in the world drawing happy trees and funny thingsAnd instead she is a the self insert of a chinkoid that leaves in an apartment close to a train track
>>749826967Where’s the punchline
how come no one is pointing out how her 1st ability gets +1cd on hit which means after a few hits you get to spam it at 0cd
>>749826942It's retarded because she's not a braindead azn american. She's supposed to have moved to America as a teenager and in the fucking 40s but they wrote her like she's a valley girl who moved to new york for art school last year
>>749827094probably because shes been out for an hour
Ok this girl has the most laughably stupid light melee.

>>749827125it takes an hour to read her kit? or are people too busy worrying about the writing in a moba when 90% of the characters are badly written caricatures already?
>>749826415vyper being the only character not drawn in there default pose is kinda funny
>>749825934So is she Chinese or Vietnamese, I can't tellActually can we get a list of which type of asian all the asian characters are?
>>749826942>lines play randomly>that's why there's an audio player>one quote, no context>over and over again>>749827027That's because it's not a deadlock standup routine, it's a third person shooterwould you like them to add labels to the characters, so you know when they're a serious character or a funny character? REM seems like a funny guy and Warden seems like a serious guy, so the idea is already established.>>749827081A group of artists have made the only artist in the game a heavy drug user, with parents that hate them. If you're not understanding the self-own they're presenting here, I think you're being a little obtuse.
>>749827220People were making fun of paige when she was unlocked as well.
Why is she some random gook bitch that lives in the US from this exact fucking decade in 1950?

>>749827375getting real boss baby vibes from this post
>>749827292You are genuinely coping by making up subtext that just isn't there. Please explain to me how she's supposed to be a critique of artists when zero (0) of the other characters call her out on her bullshit.Danny is the perfect contrast. Clearly a mockery of corporate shills. Most of the characters shit on him for it. None of them shit on Violet. Even Seven respects her.
>>749827665>When did the game get so gayWhen Mina and Doorman got inBut this group of new heroes made it significantly worse
>>749827172>grimstroke is some cool yokai>this thing is just a girlok brother. this is why people cry about womyn character, because their design is just being a woman.
Ok, so who will be a skin whore kiriko on release? Violet or Mina?
You all looking forward to her standing where the rejuv is about to land and painting multiple walls around her?
AoE slop spam has killed this game for me. It's basically overwatch now.
so this character is retardedly broken right>insanely fast base move speed/air control>steerable infinite sliding trail that gives her damage amp>webm related ability (5 second cooldown with just items and no boons when hitting your 1)>extremely high base gun damage with a 1 that amps it even harder>can build walls to manipulate minions/block LOS ults>infinite scaling over the course of a game>thresh cage ultimate that gives all allies inside of it 25% spirit lifesteal and 40 spirit power for freegenuinely how is it acceptable that danny's charge shot does 48 to the body and her headshots which come out three times as fast and are three times as easy to hit do 45?
>most boring design>most boring kit>point and click stun and spam homing bulletsWhat's the point?
Asian Americans are goycattle squared.
>>749827757Her 1 can fucking reduce ITEM COOLDOWNSIts actually over
I fucking hate her accent
>>749827670ironic coming from an e33 drone
>>749827654What the fuck are you saying you ESL retard fuck
>>749827803only if indians count
>>749827338Paige is also kind of boring but at least some of the other characters shit on her.
>>749827683>by making up subtext that just isn't thereit's voicelines, in the game anondo you not have access to it or something?
>>749826431>SeekerJesus christ anon.
>>749827724Violet since Mina knows noting about fashion.
>>749827836Indians are the lower caste of the Asian American caste system.
>>749827757Yeah, leaving aside that her writing is fucking dogshit, just reading the skills it's obvious she is fucking retarded broken
>>749827827kek what a retard you are
>>749827360Maybe an angel femboy to contrast the "demon" ixians.
Gotta keep china happy
>>749827724Paige. Winrate+Pickrate+Support
REMINDER IF YOU LIKED PAIGE IN ANYWAY THIS IS YOUR FAULTVIOLET IS LITERALLY THE CHINK VERSION OF HER
>>749824750>Is Valve into Girlfailures or something?Have you somehow avoided Vyper entirely?
>>749826575I genuinely don't get what it is about Asian-American women that make them write like this. Even black women aren't this consistently trite, they can get some variety or at least a power fantasy or two.
>>749827338Your opinion on Paige aside, if you think her and this bitch are remotely comparable, you have unironic brain damage.
>>749827730Genuinely fucking drooling how man understandable world props skills there are now. Fighting against solomon for midboss was a pain in the ass. Fighting against doorman is playing rock paper scissors with punches trough the door. Now we have this shit. We really need an item that can clean up the area from this stuff.
WE SHALL ADD A WOMAN TO YOUR VIDEO GAMEWHAT SAY YOU IN DEFENCE, ANON?
>>749827889damn looks like a struck a nerve
>>749827924Higher pressure of doing things right, it's why you see Asian American men being fucked in the head too.
>>749827981minor spelling mistake, response denied
>>749827853What voicelines?Her getting high and painting hamsters is supposed to come off as quirky, nothing about it is a critique. Again, you are making up subtext that isn't there. You haven't posted any compelling arguments, you're just making a retarded assumption based on nothing and (poorly) pretending like we're dumb for not buying your fanfiction. Watch, you're gonna do it again.
>>749826109>>Worst voice acting so farLets not exaggerate, Baba is still much more horrid.
>>749826431christ
>>749828097Making Baba Yaga a fucking jew with no slavic accent was a choice on Valve's part.
>>749827683>zero (0) of the other characters call her out on her bullshit.wait so you literally want other people in the game to say "I don't like you because you're on drugs?" in the middle of a gunfight, you don't know that it's probably a bad thing, by default?
>>749827910Honestly Paige is the worst design in the game kit-wise, literally just AOE slop spam. Extremely unfun to play against, makes an entire mode (Street Brawl) unplayable.
>>749827853>it's in the voice lines that lack any real punchline to the setup of her being awfulyou a fucking retarded nigga
>>749828147Valve stands with Ukraine, Zigger.
>>749824709Just went on reddit and everyone on there hates her and loves those characters so shes anti-reddit and if anything a very normalfag character
lol
>>749827947Notice I never said paige was as bad. But instead pointing out that if this really is deadlocks "first dud" then it's implying that people actually do like paige now.
>>749824728there are half a dozen women in this game hotter than herfuck's sake get some standards
Chatgpt I collect funko pops, my favourite video game company is riot, and I’m balding, generate the perfect gf for me
She can tower dive extremely easily and even block the walkers fire beam
>>749828194That demon might as well have been a herring and lost the green.
>>749828194>Somebody spent a few hours making this image to try to disprove her being a basic arthoe... just for her to end up being a basic arthoe (and an actual hoe too at that, look at those Billy voice lines)KKKEEEEEKKKKK
>Asian >Parents forced her to learn an instrument against her will>Want her to have a real career>Disapprove of her art>Have unrealistic expectations of her that ruined their relationship>Their behavior made her go to therapyIsn't this kind of offensive? Or at least it is just using the most stereotypical depiction of an asian possible. I remember back in the ancient era of the internet there were those memes that had a character in the center and text on the top and bottom, there was a whole genre of them and one of them was like Asian parent that was "YOU GET A? WHY NOT A+?!" and this just feels like that.
>Grey Talon's family died in a terrorist attack>Violet's reaction
>>749826231>Paige is a librarianShe isn't though. She works at an esoteric bookstore owned by her parents/family who have seemingly been captured? I guess and she is attempting to run the store/use the books/the patrons to find them or save her brother or something vaguely like that.
>the writing continues to get worseHere's my theory: Deadlock used to have VNs planned for it, some even partially made, naturally they would have a dedicated writing team. Around 2025 it seems the VN concept has been entirely scrapped so it's likely they downsized or dispearsed the writing team (maybe moved to other projects, they were contracted, whatever) and this was when the writing started to get worse. It seems now they just have the concept artists or other designers do the writing instead of a profressional writer. Which is why the writing has taken a nose dive into pure mary sue redditry People hate to admit this but writing is a skill just like drawing. Having a trained and experienced writer doing the writing was probably why early Deadlock was so well written.
>>749828284Jesus isn't a major balancing factor in this game supposed to be that you need the troopers to distract the guardians?
>>749828232Every other character has grown on me. I doubt Violet will unless Valve makes major changes to her characterization or reveals more about why she hates her parents. If it's just basic "they wanted me to be doctor" bullshit, then yeah, Valve has fallen.
>>749828159When you wrote this really bad strawman did you find it compelling? You didn't, right? So why did you post it?No retard, literally any pushback against her as a person or against her motivations for being there would have been better than the nothing we got. At best we get Rat King making fun of her for using a brush as a weapon but that's a worn-out cliche at this point (you don't use a gun LOLL) and he hates everyone by default.
>first match>some fucking russian playing violet instantly draaws a swastika in our laneLMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>749828194>zero references to the demon in her kit or voicelinesWhat went wrong?
>>749828352I think she's looking for her brother. Her parents are fine, but it is implied they know more about what happened to Bryce than they let on, or something.
>>749828284>not one but two characters that can trivialize guardiansThe only excuse I could imagine for this is that Valve is planning to rework guardians and walkers soon.
>>749828369>"they wanted me to be doctor" Well a nurse, not a doctor.
>>749828327It is extremely generic which makes me extremely suspicious that a lot of her design and writing was AI-generated/assisted.
>>749828406If I wanted to make a swastika I'd just play doorman.
>asian woman in her 20s>most boring character in the entire game so farlolWhere's the voiceline about her experience being bullied over her lunchbox's smell in highschool?
>>749828194The eye motif is used all over Deadlock. Nearly everything that uses or is related to Spirits/Occult/Mysticism in-game uses the eye.
>>749828380>>749828083here you go raging faggot, let me spoonfeed your baby ass, you're just angry you don't have access to the game, otherwise you'd go read instead of whine like a little baby boyyou're now going to say these don't count, or whatever while raging like a little toddler again"you made it up"eat shit you whining faggot
>>749828559Nope. Just written by an Asian woman. They are not creative in the slightest.
>>749828352Paige is kinda boring but at least she has a real motivation for being there, unlike Violet.
>>749828559AI would have made something less generic
>>749823584why do third world europoors love valve garbage so much?
>>749827805>>749827881the thing that's killiing me is her base movespeedim pretty sure the only other characters with acceleration/speed like this on the ground is haze and hollidaywhy does she get to have such a fucking overloaded kit and also be stupidly fast and agile at the same time>>749828284i'm dying of aids
>>749828347This bitch needs to be fucking removed from the game holy shit
how the fuck did this character make it past an initial pitchthis is psychotic, its so much worse than anyone was expecting
She should've been an actual painting that came to life>>749828691Deadlock's going to have a million daily players once Steam item trading comes along
>>749828737Haha she's like the animes :D
>her whole personality is being le quirk chungus and seething about her parents>everyone sucks her off>completely anachronistic to the settingYou guys told me Valve had good writers
>>749828696And? Now attack once and you lose ability to slide.
None of the new 6 characters even remotely fit the setting
>>749828773seven insults her to her faceyou are larping, sir
>>749828830a rat absolutely fits new york
Are you guys ready to admit Valve will override votes they choose to? They moved Baba up to make sure Solomon released near national Chess day. And they moved Violet up to make sure the loser who self inserted into the game with the character didn't feel bad about it coming dead last
>>749828773I do not think any of the new characters are written well other than Rat King, and honestly even he is a bit annoying. He just has a great voice actor that turns him into a cartoon character.Baba's VA sucks. Danny is just annoying and his shtick of shilling for Fairfax with every line of dialogue does not work. Solomon is boring as shit. Violet is reddit: the character.Weird how basically every other group of characters has been pretty awesome in terms of their voice work and characterization, even if they didn't exactly fit the setting. This has just been miss after miss with the exception Rat King who is carried by the VA.
>>749828194I love thick eyebrows on woman since when have they ever been associated with trans characters this is absurd
>>749828830>rats, pigeon ladies and niggas in parks don't fit in new york???????
Dannybros how are we feeling?
>>749828830deadman danny fits the least btw
>>749828906STILL the best hero
It looks like she's holding a takeout burger.
>>749828232Her new lines have at least given her a bit more texture with the stuff about her brother. I never really hated her kit desu.
>>749828640>harshest thing here is one haze line saying she seems like a stereotype(she is but there's nothing further)the rest of these are literally hyping her up. you genuinely need to be slaughtered like cattle for this level of disengenuity.
>>749828906We are owed an apology for our character getting called Reddit, just look at these Violet voice lines
>>749828863I thought russians spammed for Baba
>>749828737>>749828737>Deadlock's going to have a million daily players once Steam item trading comes alongah yes yet another Valve/Steam NFT collector how thrilling
>>749828949They did she was like 90% of EU votes RuZZians got rugpulled when it turned out that she has Reddit writing and is actually Jewish
>>749827910Aren't we so heckin self aware?
>>749828367my nigga you can just parry guardians to dive
>americans can be cool>asians can be cool>asian americans are the lamest fucking thing everevery single time
>>749829009They're not actually referencing IRL race now, are they? I assume since that is not a screenshot of the in game dialogue viewer it is not in the game.
>>749829009XD
>>749828946>the rest of these are literally hyping her up.Seven calls her a walking cliche. It's about the same as his lines making fun of Silver.
>>749828835Truth be told, very shit insult from Seven. Honestly he is getting fucking boring.
>>749825246I was voting her every time but now that I've heard her voicelines I hate her
>>749824284>nobody has called it out yetI can spot two obvious patterns.
>>749829009I don't think they talked like this back then
>>749828946>haze is suspicious of her>victor blames her for not talking to her parents>seven insults her>grandma tells her to be scared, because baba yaga notoriously eats children>glorifies thievesare you reading the same dialogue?
>>749824284lame as fuck character, I also dislike her voice.thank God she is not this game's version of invoker or even warlock.
>>749829090>seven calls her a walking clichehe also calls her super duper gifted that anon is right you're a disingenuous fuckhead
>>749828640Haze probing that she's a government asset has nothing to do with what you're claiming.No idea what you're going on with the patrons line. Do you even understand what patronage is?Violet gets the last word in the Victor conversation. That's a pattern with almost all of her conversations that are anything less than positive - she gets the upper hand. It's so boring. Also, in what way does her parental insecurity point to it being a critique of artists? It's an extremely generic problem for a character to have.That applies to the Seven conversation as well.No idea why you posted the Paradox conversation.Baba's is generic grandma stuff. Violet being nervous about the ritual is also very generic.>euuuugh you said they don't count just like I said! gotem!The fact that you had a voice in your head which predicted my obvious criticism of your retardation should have been the sign for you to stop posting.Just say that you want to masturbate to her or something.
>>749829009There's no way this is actually real, right?
>>749823584>looks like a support slut>is a support slutNo way
>>749829195>>749829151read before posting retard
Even reddit hates her, its over
>>749829101>its not about being x its about being y twice (bonus points for using 'being seen')
>>749829128i dont think anyone has ever talked like thisits like the la asian version of kevin smith dialogue
>>749829242fuck man now we have to like her bros
>>749829282Reddit hates her because she's pretty.
>>749829195>you're now going to say these don't count, or whatever while raging like a little toddler againno way, he actually did it
>>749823584Valve are fags for modeling her with pants instead of panties or a mini skirt with panty shots
>>749823724>Valve outsourcing decisionsNot happening. Valve is the last company that would ever be willing to burn their reputation for a few more dollars on the bottom line. They own the main games store for PC.
>>749828830I dunno about not fitting the setting, but so far Rat King is the only one in the batch that I think is actually good and cool, even if he's agonizing to play against. This batch is catastrophically worse than the previous two. The biggest issues with New Blood was that Billy felt anachronistic (but that was the joke) and Paige is e-girl-y, both of which look like nothing compared to just Violet.Harrow needs to be like Doorman or Drifter tier and even then this batch will still be shit.
>>749829195kek youre retarded
>>749824284That's just knock-off Mina
>>749829230The one time you tried to post evidence you got shit on so hard that you got reduced to four letter posts.Another sign to stop posting.>>749829316I know what you're doing and it's sad as fuck.
>Character is a '''struggling''' art protege, who isn't actually struggling, she's just not a worldwide phenomenon>All the other characters glaze her in dialogue>Boring as fuck Asian woman design>Obviously a self-insertAt least she was nearly picked last. Asian players truly have no fucking taste and will vote for anything with narrow eyes.
>>749829309People hate her because she is the boring female asian characters that tons of people simp for some reasonI tried to give her a chance but she just feels meh in both gameplay and writing
>>749829412Barry's gonna Barry
>>749823584i prefer aoe2 and handcannoneers
>>749829389Bro the samefagging is getting really sad.I would genuinely respect you more if you just posted porn.
>>749829404>the crying continues>projecting samefaggery onto othersshameful display
>>749829412An underrated criticism of this patch is that new Viscous lines characterize him as an actual child instead of somebody who's naive about the surface but still serious about stopping Cthulhu
Just had a game with herShes fun, drawing is a little awkward at first but you can block shit like Bebops ult with itDoesnt feel insanely OP
>>749829445I don't think actual Asian players will resonate with a self absorbed Asian American art hoe who hates her family and lineage and culture
>>749823584Who's got the balls to draw NIGGER on busy lane during the actual match and post a screenshot
>>749829448We hate her because she's a boring stereotype of a female Asian American writer. Reddit doesn't see that. They just think she's goonerbait and hence hate her.
>>749829496shhh anon, don't say stuff like thathow are they supposed to hate the game?
>>749829412classic barry
>>749829532>Reddit doesn't see that. They just think she's goonerbait and hence hate her.Nah, even they call out the shit writing
>>749829472lmao I didn't even say you were samefagging in that post.Good job exposing yourself retard.
>>749829445It's strictly an asian american problem, they don't behave like that elsewhereMust be something in the water over there that turns people insufferable
>>749829260you missed the 'by any x' bwo
>>749829595you're replying to randoms bitching about it>>749829465haha what is your plan here my man?it's not working out for you
>>749829027That still requires getting close to them so you'll take a decent amount of beam damage and the refresh on your parry is longer than the stun on them.
Started playing this yesterday, totally blind to it. Pleasantly surprised with the art style, still getting the hang of all map objectives but I quite like it. Which heroes should I avoid so I don't fall into a noob trap?
>>749829598Strictly Asian American woman problem.
>>749829445yellow fever goes far anon
>>749829692Graves, Haze and Lash are hell if you're new. Don't go for the high spirit super specific playstyle characters. Easy starters are Venator, Infernus and McG! They're just point and click.
>>749826231My thoughts exactly. They just ruined the theme.
>>749824284Thanks god her kit is shit, I would fucking hate loving her gameplay on such a bland character with a shit tier VA.
>>749829692MinaRem
>>749829543You can like the game and still hate a single character for having abysmal writing.
The visual clutter in the game is getting absurd. Solomon's chess-pieces, now Violet has actual visual diarrhea as her moveset. They need to dial it back.
>>749829785example pleasea new one, that isn't an image in this thread
>>74982959899% of it is that they can see that almost everyone else's parents in america are more loose about their parenting style and they get jealous and fixate on it as a failing of their own parentsyou dont see this at all if one of their parents is white
>>749829543The writing this time around is abysmal and the only new heroes that are interesting are Rat and Deadman
>>749829675>make retarded argument with zero evidence>finally forced to post a real argument>it's really bad, gets completely dismantled>start samefag spamming>get caught acknowledging samefagging>haha...Saddest poster I've seen in months.
>>749829785>>749829832>samefagging againhere we go again folks
>>749823584>mfw the nurse lost to a gookyou anons REALLY disappointed me. i bet some of your parents are either racemixed or committed heavy incest too
>>749829820>you dont see this at all if one of their parents is whiteNo instead the girls turn into whores and the boys into incels
>>749829871kill yourself today, don't delay it for tomorrow
>>749824284"I know the cliché you are all too keen to wrap yourself in. You're worse than a petulant teenager… At least they have the excuse that their brains aren't fully formed!" - Seven
>>749829868He's still crying folks, it's been quite a while now. Seems I really got to this guy!
>>749823584I'm just praying she's broken as fuck just to spite niggas hyping this game up for a week straight.
>>749828359The first one is a reference to a real chess video lol
>>749829820>you dont see this at all if one of their parents is whiteYeah they just become schizo pornstars instead
The real disappointment is that she came next to lastJust imagine the shitstorm she would cause if it was the FIRST hero lmao
I just can't believe how long her ult lasts after Rat King came out with his 20 second ult.She's less interesting than I was hoping, but i'm sure she'll still be an obnoxious piece of shit character>>749828863>source - It came to me in a dream
>>749829923Did you start punctuating your sentences after getting called out for obvious samefagging? pffffhLeast pathetic Violetfag.
>>749829976Honestly, based Deadlock community for sniffing out a shit character.Only fault is that she wasn't dead last. But I guess if Harrow is good we can end on a high note.
>>749830002>he's still going
>>749828284>>749828696actual, literal and factual self insert
>they can't even keep her characterization consistentso it's not just subjectively bad, it's objectively bad too
>>749830141
I assume "The purest calcium white" Danny is out of character and kind to her too?
I guess it's fitting that the character with the most insufferable fans is insufferable herself. They were annoying from day 1 and had a major persecution complex for no reason.
You could literally have a character called Murder-Rape-Ulon the Puppy-Kicker and he would glaze this character in the dialogue.
>>749830141More evidence her writing is AI slop.
>>749830141The AI ran out of context
>>749830141What's the context for that first line even?
>this whole thread is one faggot rambling about a video game he doesn't ownpure pottery
>>749829485how is that anything new?
>>749830221He sells her stain cleaner
>>749830223>b-but you don't get it, you just don't like Violet because you're a hecking racist!!! I bet you like Paige>Wait, Mina who?
>>749830338her profile
>>749830221Two neutral and one positive.In this situation it's actually weirder for HER to be nice to him. You'd think that if she was close friends with Billy and went to rallies she'd hate Fairfax, but no.
>>749829412>self-inserts when they interact with a character who they cant aura warp into an obsequious nut slurper
Honestly, she is cringe as fuck, but four good/decent characters with one obvious stinker isn't bad. I'm happy with the rest of the roster and I'm sure Harrow will be better.
>>749830419She's Reddit. You think she's going to confront the skeleton man to his face?
>>749830381>her whole personality hinges on hating her parents and being a failure and disappointment>you could have her be an actual failure>but no, she's actually successful and really strong and the best and everyone sucks her off but she's just... le impostor syndromeHoly mother of self insert OC
The only way to salvage her character is only for the porn to be extremely fucking good.
>>749829937I also hope she’s broken so she can get nerfed to hell like Baba and Sinclair
>>749823584>to play ranked you have to win 60 games>easy enough>and have 15 wins on 3 different characters>in a game where it's literally impossible to get matched as a character with lowest priorityVery cool
>>749827898Ironically the only character that would make the (mainland) chinese explicitly happy would be yet another Sun Wukong type.
>>749830381>It's not X, it's YBlatant sign of AI writing, LOL
>>749830467Praying Harrow is kino and Violet was just made to be a cosmetics-dispenser.
We ALL love Violet. Inside the game and outside.
>>749828147>slav in NY is actually a jewPretty damn accurate, if nothing else
>>749829912why couldnt this be our asian female artist character
>>749830517You'd have to pick a shitty model and prompt for it to write poorly to get drivel this contradictory. This is 100% human self-insert wankery.
>>749830539>>749828147Most "Russian" Americans are Jewish
>>749830480Man her being a failure sounds much better. Imagine her just actually being shit at painting that everyone in the cast calls shit but does it anyways and get magicial powers for it and then dabs on people with shitty drawings that they hate.
Sometimes, you can judge a book by its cover
>>749830480Not only that but success for her is basically the "corporate path" of an artist. They could have at least had her earn success in an unorthodox way.
>>749827172The only similarity beyond artist imagery is grimstroke's Q brushstroke has vector targeting to curve.Violet is quirky chungus artist who paints whatever she sees with cursed magic.Grimstroke sacrificed his people for demonpowers and throws his dead wife as a projectile.
>>749830583>>749830539>because Jews that came to America came from the Russian Empire this means a Slavic mythology character should be a JewImagine if they added some Chinese nigga called Nezha Wukong decked out in daoist talismans and shit and then rugpulled him as a Jew
>>749827705at least mina and doorman are catty bitches, this lifeless husk is like they distilled a basic west coast ABG cunt into a hero and called it a day
>>749830702that would be extremely funny
Nothing screams 20th century New York more than a Millennial Callarts Asian American Girl with daddy issues, smoking weed and having to pay student loans
>>749830536inb4 next patch adds a conversation almost exactly like this
>Haze, the resident glownigger, very fucking gently probes Violet about being a CCP spy exactly once before dropping it because Violet pinky promisedHow fucking boring. We're approaching Overwatch levels of forced politeness
>>749830743It's a big country
>>749826810They should've gone all in and made her the biggest psychopath in the entire cast
>>749830601Yes, there's a world where she could have been a genuinely interesting character. She just lacks that Valve spark. I doubt they would go back and fix her at this point though.
>>749830536this would be kino if drifter was on the enemy team and he said this as he was eating her entrails
>>749830782si yu
>>749830913>2046 lines of dialogue of just her being pure, unfiltered RedditValve did not cook with her.
Yeah this was a disappointment. I actually think her design was pretty good with all the art references, all she needed was a cool backstory relating to her powers and it would be great. Like how this anon >>749828737 suggested, I could already see so much potential for her interactions with REM and Victor with this concept.
So my bet is Harrow is going to actually be a psychopomp of sorts. And will obviously have ethier a mandatory tf2 medic or io reference
