It's gotten almost linearly better. It's gotten more colorful, which is good because nobody wants to play a game that's entirely brown and gray, and it's gotten more magical, which is good because guns are lame. But I think this is less a design change on Valve and more the original game just being shitty WIP.

It's still fucking funny to me how Valve was actually going with those disgusting designs and the only reason then went with Overwatch/Rivals direction is the failure of CONCORD and other hero shooters of that time.
>>
Should've finished Artifact Foundry and held the million-dollar tournament they promised instead of making a game nobody asked for.

Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.

Not when Valve employed Sweet Baby Inc at the time, and SBI says futuristic is in. Valve had two duds with Artifact and Underlords, so they knew they couldn't fuck up again and decided to take it old school and realized regular people find the whole woke design offputting.

Yeah, so gargoyles, ice wights, oozes, molemen and Native Americans who fight with bows and an owl familiar? That's noir.

Pigeon ladies, struggling artists, bounty hunters, circus performers and snotty rich kids? That's pulp.

Got it? The game was occult noir when it had a no-nonsense heroic detective in it, but then they ruined the game and made it pulpy by putting a blue Hellboy knockoff in the game with his magical book or whatever.

Hope that cleared things up!

I don't think it was the success/failure of other games that caused Valve to change their minds. I'm actually not sure if they changed their minds at all. Yeah, the designs have changed, but that's common for Valve's iterative designs. TF2 went through several art style changes during its 9 year development, starting with the game just looking like a realistic military game, and Dota 2's early concept art made it look way darker. All three games went through that cycle of being darker, more realistic, and becoming more cartoony and colorful over time. I think their concept artists probably just prefer a darker, intentionally ugly look, and it's other people in the company who have to slowly tell them, "Hey, can you not make it look that way?"

Also, they were working with SBI, and I wouldn't be surprised if some people at Valve were super motivated to do it while others just politely went along with it, but the entire time I imagine guys like IceFrog, Gaben and Robin Walker were thinking, "We're not releasing the game like this, we'll cut ties eventually and change everything to make it not look like shit, and our excuse will just be something like, 'Oh, we decided to go in a different direction.'" Valve has no concept of time and they've already canned a dozen games so I think they were just waiting SBI out to keep Deadlock alive.

There's this constant complaint you see on 4chan over 2016 election tourists and /pol/fags ruining the site or trying to rewrite history to say 4chan has always been their website and I've always countered those crybabies as an oldfag pointing out how habitually racist and counterculture this place has always been.
But with some games, like BG3 and Deadlock, I actually think the people crying about election tourists have a point. We've always been a community that celebrates stupid shit like having sex with cartoon animals and playing as ugly monsters in games, but now places like /v/ and /dlg/ have these anons who claim that, "Actually, this is a conservative Christian website and we all play games as straight white men who fight with realistic weapons and human tenacity," and I'm like what the fuck are you talking about? We want to fuck goblins and Hoodwink here. Most people here identify more with orc warlocks than human paladins. I just imagine I'm talking to an unwashed redneck who walks around in camo and should probably be playing Call of Duty instead.

>>750280142
I think it's pretty normal for hero-based games to be full of characters that have 0-2 interesting abilities and if a character has more than that they get brandished by the community as "not playing the same game as everyone else" and are forced to be reworked. Meanwhile you have heroes like Lion whose entire kit can be remade by stealing abilities from other heroes.

>>750280262
Most games have this problem. You can't play as a dragon in FFXIV, you can only play as a human with scales glued to random spots on their body. Some fighting games have a weirdo like Arakune, but most only have humanoids or animals standing upright. If you have a top-down game or four niggas in a row, you can just plop any kind of abomination of pixels in the character slot and it'll function identically to everyone else, but in a game with hitboxes (or a game pandering to cosplayers) the developer is not going to go out of their way to design a character that shatters the humanoid silhouette, it requires too much thinking and balancing all for one character. If they're going to make a character like that, they need to make it worth it and that's a risky gamble.

On the bright side, we could get a Primal Beast-like character at some point. On the other hand, I wouldn't expect to see something like races of characters outside Ixians. If Dota is anything to go by, Valve doesn't like dipping multiple times into a fantasy race, so we're not getting something like Yordles.

>>
>>750282016
In old MMOs you only had like four abilities on 180 second cooldowns so you only used them at the right moment and none of them were mindblowing game mechanics, they were usually just a stat buff or debuff. Most of the game was just whacking the monster with a weapon. This is because the games were meant to be slow and more about socializing than completing challenges. Then MMOs decided they wanted to be braindead and made rotations a thing, where you rotate through a bunch of abilities that are honestly inconsequential so you don't even need to know what they do.

MOBAs try to give characters actually interesting abilities on low cooldowns so you aren't standing there for several minutes auto-attacking.

There isn't a hate campaign, every hero game has a minority of haters here. The difference is that most of those games don't get threads. When was the last time you saw a LoL or Valorant thread?

Yeah, of course. If you want girls and fuckboys to play your game, your game needs cute girls. Everyone knows that, at least now.

No it's even worse than that. The only reason they pivoted is because someone leaked the Neon Prime build and everybody hated what they saw. It's also what Sweet Baby Inc. "consulted" Valve on doing with the concept, so that should tell you how useless that company actually is. Deadlock was unironically saved because SBI got kicked the fuck out.

The invite shit isn't even a real barrier, you can go on the steam forums and get one from a bot account in like 2 minutes. If anything the invite shit is some psychological marketing thing they came up with to get people on the hook. Like there's a million free to play games you can grab on Steam now, but if you want Deadlock you have to go out of your way just to add it to your library. It makes it feel more intriguing because of that extra step, even though it's trivial to overcome.

It doesn't really live up to the power fantasy of being a werewolf or a vampire or a shoggoth when ultimately you're just going to put a gun in their hands, then they might as well be a little kid with no superhuman powers at all. It's like saying this supernatural entity you find cool can never compete with just using a fucking gun. And it just gets monotonous. Can you imagine if everyone in Dynasty Warriors used a sword? Eventually you hit a point where you're just sick of swords.

There's a handful of Overwatch cosmetics you can buy that give some of the girls skirts and a couple of them have panties underneath. I don't know what this has to do with diversity, equity or inclusion.

/v/ plays TF2 together weekly. I haven't seen an Overwatch thread in months and it's always to shit on the game for being woke. I don't know what reality you live in, but it's not the same as the rest of us.

Deadlock was total shit in 2024 and everything they've added since then has been a marked improvement with the sole exception of violet. The "old direction" was a schizophrenic mess of half-retooled concepts from neon prime and blatantly unfinished placeholder assets.

I seriously doubt PvE will make much of a splash. Whenever Valve adds PvE to their games, a minority of weirdos stop playing the regular game to play PvE instead, but most people just try it once and then go back to the regular game mode. I genuinely think MvM is bad and I watched Valve kill the New Year Beast in Dota 2, so I'm not optimistic that this will be all that interesting.

It's hard for NPCs to threaten players when they move at Mach 5, but mid boss is changing in the next update or the one after that. Obviously they're turning him into a giant alligator.

And that's a good thing. Technology being better than some magic mumbo jumbo bullshit is a rare trope but it's a good trope, especially if it levels the playing field.

>...ok never mind
Webm compression isn't helping here but even when I played this two years ago, and it wasn't yet as full retard with particle FX, it was already hard on the eyes, not to mention in team fights it was already very easy to lose track of what is going on. I remember when I started playing League it was okay but it was getting worse and worse with every new hero and visual update. Every ASSFAGGOTS and ASSFAGGOTS adjacent game eventually succumbs to this, especially now when visual noise is the name of the game even in games with realistic visuals.

this is also true in Rivals
if you're a PvP game - stick to PvP

I think even if OW2 had ever gotten that promised PvE - it wouldnt have much staying power
(unless it was a 12-15 hours cinematic campaign with cutscenes etc. - like a whole full new game .. but that would never happen)

Games with both singleplayer and multiplayer are more popular than games with just one. Just do it well. Players want it because they imagine something cool in their heads, developers just drop the ball. The Headless Horseless Headman was super popular in TF2, then Valve added MvM which doesn't have the same appeal at all. The New Year Beast was fun in Dota 2, then the next year they just turned him into a creep. They just don't get it.

If a tranny appears in TF2, people harass them over the mic. Meanwhile, the most popular Deadlock streamer is a tranny, the game has Pocket in it and trannies all over social media love the game. Don't throw stones when you live in a glass house.

Nigga they're just letting Hotpoo remake Risk of Rain 2.

And Deadlock is flexible enough to accommodate shit like that.

Rivals is one, even though I think the game looks gay because all the characters are fat meat monsters and it literally has a BMWF character. You think pic related is a second? C'mon, bro. It's a game full of brown people with tattoos and cringey zoomer haircuts. It's like it was made for those Asians who want to be black.

You can only claim Deadlock is woke in absolute terms, like a game with an ugly chick and couple black people is woke. In relative terms, Deadlock is one of the least woke MOBAs/hero shooters.
>>

>all the characters are fat meat monsters
???
>BMWF character
that character has existed since the ~80s and it was Rivals that made the black guy a dickless floating torso in their game. In the comics he was normal

The whole board is unironically under constant seige from psyop bots who spam this shit to either drive people off of the site or promote specific retarded ideologies because RapeApe is an unironic culture warrior faggot who thinks that's "based"

Wolverine looks like he bulked and forgot to cut. Emma Frost has that slutty PAWG look designed to appeal to negros. Squirrel Girl is unabashedly fat. Most characters I would describe as statuesque, which is classic for comic books - it's also really gay. Half the reason I never got into American comics or Western fantasy as a kid is for that reason. Everyone looks like a Greek statue in skintight spandex. I think they just referenced buff nude models. Rivals is loyal to that vision, which is a bad thing.
>that character has existed since the ~80s
There were OTHER characters they could've put in the game, you realize? It's not like they absolutely needed to put in the BLACKED character no one's ever heard of.

>>750298732
Most hero shooters go for a Street Fighter-like international roster. The problem is most humans look indistinguishable from each other, especially if you choose to "avoid stereotypes" and don't give them culturally identifiable outfits.
