>>499460987You're in my rank, so no.
>mcginnis and shiv on the same team>in the same lane, no lessIt's literally over from team preview and the fact that nothing meaningful has been done to either heroes shows insane dev incompetence that is a deathknell for the future
t. (You)
well we uh have the "green item only" vindicta on our team so I'm going to go ahead and give this one to sapphire
now the dust has settledwas seeded matchmaking based or cringe?
>game remains jittery unplayable ass no matter what I change with my graphics or internetYOSHI YOU NIGGERRRRRR FIX IT
>2350 niggascore EU
It's so fucking OVER
>>499461470>force people to learn how to play the game and spread the ranks out a bitOR>open the floodgates so newfags/smurfs/aimgods all get queued to the same poolwhat do you think?
>>499461739Oh thank god I thought this issue was on my end
>>499461150Awooooogahttps://streamable.com/fxiddkToday i will remind them
>>499461996>11 slotted>0 activesgood macro play but shit itemization
>>499459507I don't really have a concrete one, but my two ways that I've been successful are either a build focusing on being annoying with tornado, return fire, and echo shard if your early game is not going well and you need more immediate utility(or your team does enough damage but needs utility in general), and ricochet with max 3 to be a worse infernus if your team in some miraculous situation lacks damage dealers. Skillwise I think if it's achievable the -15% bullet resist on your 2 is always good to plan around, especially if you're behind in walkers. I don't prioritize maxing his ult like some do because I honestly don't find myself needing to cross the map or being somewhere more often than its base cooldown. I'm not a pro, just a spammer, so take my words with a grain of salt. Also if you put quicksilver reload on your 3 it's free reloads constantly and rather funny watching people blow up
Please release Holiday on thursday so that I can have my new main valve please.
>>499462210ye i already know about the>improved burst + qsr trick>the brs + scarabthought you had some secret sauce though ive never thought to use echo shard for tornadomaxx ill try that out
>>499461982I tried to ask the >>>discord about it but they're too busy having internet cockfights over meme ranks and nekoscore to be fucking useful. Why did I even bother joining.
it seems NA ranks are inflated by 1 whole tier
>>499462264hmmmm, nyooooo.
>>499462174i just searched the most retarded gun build to farmmaxx entire game but then i found out there is fucking lane straight to their base and they trying to brool on ours with all 6 toonst. ivy
>>499462457That's just a result of the whole scene being 1 tier worse
>>499460829I love how sassy Geist says itDoes anyone have a video with all the "You're welcome" voice lines?
>>499462457It's global retard
>>499462667>matchmaking is globallmao
>>499460829Nah, what really feels good is ganking your pantsshitting retard teammates and saving their lanes as Lash and hitting them with the unprompted>You're welcomeas you fuck off.
>>499462373Honestly, improved burst is not worth it on himQsr + surge of power on 3 is better for him and you can start building gun or go full commit to spirit with spiritual overflow. Crippling headshot is a solid hybrid option as well. Ricochet can be hit or miss depend on the pace of the game. You sacrifice your 1v1 power going ricochet
How do resists work? Do they become soft capped once you hit 60?
So what's the consensus on Nekoscore? Relatively accurate, total fanfiction, better than the actual MMR calculator?
>>499462858surprisingly accurate, has a few outliers but there's a pretty clear pattern
>>499462746It is aside from the quarantine zone (Russia)It just heavily prefers your lowest ping serverI know because I play at dead hours and get put in USE games instead of USW
fucking impossible to carry a team full of bads in this game
>>499462494if you want some genuine suggestions>alchemical fire to proc BRS and just shred buildings in general (can also combo with stone form in fights)>vampiric burst or spiritual overflow over titanic mag>combat barrier or fortitude in your empty green slot>>499462858seems to be it's mostly accurate for higher ranks but a crapshoot below like 1800
>>499462858More accurate than Valve ranking from what I've seen
>>499462820No soft cap but multiplicative stacking
>>499462858Fairly accurate for the top ~3% of players, for everyone else it's basically noise.
>>499462992it's literally impossible for me to play on NA as a yurothe point is that the overall skill level of NA is perceived lower so the ranks are "inflated" compared to elsewhere
Won my first ranked match after getting raped 8 timesBetter feeling than masturbation
>>4994627943 stacks + qrs + improved burst and sometimes i get some funny 50 to 0 clips from it that they dont expect, it's good for players stacking def too since it's going to be an extended fight where you can stack a lot
>>499462858New negroscore: somewhat accurate, since it's based on the actual average MMR of matches. It still falls apart for exceptions though like shitters who get carried in stacks.Old negroscore: literally meaningless.
>>499463017i usually play fast armor rush melee ivy or meme thwompwalking build ivy. i just took the most braindead build in search tab for the lulz, didn't even tried to win
>>499462820when it says "+20% x resist" what it actually means is "reduce x damage taken to 80%". On the other hand, resist reductions are "reduce total resist by x" ie flat decrease.so if you have t2 armor, swift striker, and improved reach on migu you'd have(.85*.75*.78)-.05=42.8% bullet resist>>499463564fair enough, inhouse is always a great place to do dumb shit.
I kinda like lady geist although it would be my first time jungling.Im assuming im just hitting camps for unsecured souls that dripfeeds my team?
Amber has such dogshit macro. Constantly all 4 lanes pushed and letting buildings die.
How do we make Grey Talon good? I feel like his ult is pretty shit and makes no sense with the rest of his kit.
There's no way you niggers picked fucking kelvin/lash/dynamo/shivWhat the fuck is wrong with you
>>499463642win your lane and steal camps on enemy side of map. anything else is griefing
The most dishonest stacked team Ive had the misfortune of playing against. Shuffle teams better.
>>499463841meppz is fucking useless without his lash crutchbig cuck is wood mmr without his broken auto win hero
i expected more of you abrams
yawn... i thought inhouses were supposed to be fun but these niggers play their mains lol
gone for one game and dudes got already stomped the fuck
>>499463841big hat gets into full melty mode whenever he doesn't get to pick his crutch please understandu
>>499464078kelvins the only hero ive lost an inhouse on
>>499464078Haze, you rushed silencer my manAnd it never even worked >>499464215Thats not true there's never been a moment where someone takes Dynamo from meI play Viscous otherwise
these inhouse games are always great to watch meppz is funny as shit to watch the shit he does at times is actually funny
>>499463841was tempted to plug my mic in to shot call nobody on our team was speaking and it felt lonely
>>499453341works on my machine
>>499464078inhouses have like 3 or 4 people that are game losing if they dont play their mainsi mean they are *really* bad on the rest of the cast. like obscenely.
>>499464263I've never gotten ulted, so it actually worked believe it or not. Haze is by far the worst lategame actives user, since she usually dies to a stiff breeze.>>499464509Name them instead of schizopost about this boogeyman that is onetricks.
>lash somehow loses lane to grey talon>i gank for him and he doesnt notice then lets me die>lash proceeds to spend 30 minutes farming jungle/splitting>only solo ults when someone fights him while he is farmingmost infuriating ranked game ive played
>>499464602just tell him that you are ganking lmaothe worst thing is when people randomly shows up uninvited to your lane and feeds
Some of the most fun and upbeat inhouses today, very happyEveryone seems to be on a level playing field now and its a good timehttps://files.catbox.moe/4uevnp.webm
>>499464053I had LITERALLY 1k ping and people unironically picking the most broken room temp IQ heroes of the patch all in one team.What the fuck do you mean you expected more
>>499464078Anon, half of the inhouse players are people playing deadlock 6 hours per day, it was never supposed to be comfy lol
>>499464836>1k pingmans literally living in the past
>>499464749>level playing field>60k soul gap
>>499464914i had fun except every time i was targeted with like 3 ults lmoa
>>499464749Actual comedy, btw we should play pubs sometime
>>499464914The last one was definitely a little strong but I was just denying the enemy team a ton of jungle camps since I was clearing their side while they weren't looking a lotPlus we stole a lot of urns
>>499464749hope ur family gets gang raped dynamo abuser
>ranked score includes data from when there was zero restriction on groupfaggotryNekoscore is unironically more accurate than valve's official rank system for this very reason
>>499461150How do I counter Mirage? I've started getting into games with Mirages who can aim and he just shits out damage in equal parts bullet and spirit
So where's the inhouse?
>>499465016I'm down homie, you were one of the most fun to play with in all the inhouses so far, very good attitude>>499465028that seems a little extremeI don't get why I get so much hate for playing Dynamo, he's got one of the lowest winrates in the game and I have to put a lot of work into him to get resultsHe's also been nerfed like 14 times in a row and still keeps getting nerfed
>>499465134buy Locket
>>499465028don't threaten the faggot with gay sex
>missed inhouseo wel
now that the dust has settled how do the rank revelations affect the inhouse ecosystem
What rank should I be before joining the Inhouse?
>>499465236>"dynamo is le weak in pubs!"Nigga you're in the inhouses. That's the closest to the fabled 6 stack of white europeans/americans on comms environment that you'll ever get. Dynamo is easily S tier.
>>499465236Because you're too low mmr of a retard to see how utterly fucking broken the character is and yet you act like you're the hottest shit around for pressing 4.The fact that you're STILL not even on featured matches every time while one tricking the most disgusting hero in the game is genuinely embarrassing.>He's also been nerfed like 14 times in a row and still keeps getting nerfedWONDER WHYIT'S LIKE THE HERO IS FUNDAMENTALLY BROKENIn fact it will probably get nerfed again
>>499465443i would recommend at least oracle if you want to have fun since most of the inhouse is phantom and above
>>499465496>>499465526You guys shouldn't raise your voice we're all friends here be nice to me
>>499465425a couple people are high ascendant but the remaining posters are phantom or lower
>>499465496>>>"dynamo is le weak in pubs!"Only dynamo niggers say this.Dynamo can win any lane because of his disgusting kit and for half of the games lifespan he has had a myriad of solo carry builds including weapon builds because he has an insane gun and an insane buff to that gun.
>>499465236Thanks, I keep the same attitude when I play solo. Check friend requests
WHERE THE FUCK IS THE INHOUSE
i was playing ranked as parkour lash (no 2 skill, no majestic leap, only roofs or ground and using full melee itemization), melee ivy, zero macro, just doing random shit and i still got fucking phantom 4 the fuck people below are even doing
>>499465016>>499465236>>499465704>gay hookupsfinally, /dlg/ has become a true /vg/ general
>>499465425Everyone's a lot better at the game than previously thought of. Even the tripfriendly that feeds every lobby as vindicta is at least archon.>>499465443Oracle seems to be the goldilocks rank where you'll be able to somewhat keep up with the aimdemons and macrogods at the moment, which is still 99th percentile (very high).
>>499465862it's over. after the rat match people rage went top characters.
Do unsecured souls just passively turn into secured ones across the team?
carried players by their characters:>big hat>meppzanyone else i'm missing?
>>499465704i bet this guy goes crazy when he loses lane
>>499465923Anonymous strangers ridicule everything I do on the internet. I cant stand it
>>499465971Niggers always try hard and kill it.At least it's fun to see meppz be completely useless at anything that's not broken ass lash.
>>499466001Unsecured just gradually turn into secured souls yes>>499466023I've got a good Viscous I should play more heroes but I just enjoy playing Dynamo too much
>>499466023swallow god when he abuses gun bebop
>>499466023All the niggas picking shiv.
I can never win a game because I'm too busy brawling and never take towers. What's a character I can play to avoid brawling like a retard?
>>499463212Cope
>>499466086>Unsecured just gradually turn into secured souls yesok good, I thought I had to bring them somewhere and I was slowly losing it.
>>499466071you guys get so salty over inhouses lmao different people wanna get different things out of playing them so some goof around and some play normal
>>499466240play mcginnis and just live in any lane that still has an enemy walker. Then the brawl will come to you and will always be productive
>>499461150Sex>>499466370Sovl
>>499466248i don't see how it's cope when it's easily observable that the NA scene is not very good and has good players for at most one team while EU has multiple
Threadly reminder that after the game was soft announced devs are ignoring the forums in favor of Reddit
>>499463212>na ranks are inflated and eu is more competitive even though subhuman russorcs on vpns outnumber white europeans on their own server 4 to 1everyone knows that china and korea is gonna dominate on deadlock, while NA and EU constantly fight for table scraps with the other meme regions.
>>499466495>shooter moba>gooks dominatinggood one
>>499465892some heroes have to engage with the game mechanics to win, anyone unlucky enough to prefer those characters has a harder time winning
>>499466482the forums are full of russians, so can you really blame them? i'm sure that this shithole (/dlg/) gets more dev visits in a day than the official forums.
>>499466482lmao the Devs should be listening to DLG instead
>>499466057https://www.standard.co.uk/hp/front/being-bullied-just-act-less-gay-advise-teachers-6363591.html
>>499466023would you rather I play shiv or infernus?? day 1 haze btw, most of the public builds are so fucking bad.
>>499466750They already have, lmao.
>>499462858it's actually fairly accurate compared to the rankings we got
My rank? Obscurus 1 (1win)
>>499466023im gonna be so fucking glad when the roster reaches more than 30 characters or they just add the ability to play more than a single character in custom matches because characters get picked and the selection is just so fucking tiny it is literally always the same. PLEASE ADD CALICO AND HOLIDAY BOTH THIS THURSDAY THANKS.
>>499466495Gooks cannot into shooters.
>>499466495China and Korea aren't going to touch this game with a ten foot pole.Japan might compete but I doubt they'll be the top.Shooters belong to the whites.
>actual ranks come out>like clockwork na is inflated eu isn't posts start uplooks like andrzej urbaniak placed in ritualist 2 and is currently coping
>>499466495korea? never. China and Japan have a large selection of available builds already so they have been playing.
The black woman of Valve unoriginality.These are TWO different characters.
>>499466495>china and gooks in games that are not linear mechanical execution gamesLMAO
>>499466778haze got one of the greatest builds backed up with actual math only a day after the builds feature launched. haze is absolutely goated in the quality and quantity of her public builds.>>499466707>>499466962>>499467068they dominated overwatch once upon a time (before the whole scene collapsed because classic blizzard).
>>499464749Hello I'm a retard mmr player who loves dynamo how the fuck do you have an impact on the game
>>499467286>he's bad enough to think this is not a linear execution game
>>499466219Gun bebop is suboptimal regardless of one trick ponies
>>499467294>haze got one of the greatest builds backed up with actual math only a day after the builds feature launched. haze is absolutely goated in the quality and quantity of her public builds.Dunno about that because I tried 4 different public builds and they were mind boggling bad and varied pretty heavily, one didn't even have unstoppable anywhere
>>499467375People will say he's easy but he's still pretty hard.>LMAO JUST PRESS 4like yeah, sure. Landing it is easy. But timing is everything. Plus, you need to know how to farm and roam, Dynamo is much more of a macro hero than he is someone like Wraith who can be useful anywhere on the map and manfight people when she wants.Dynamo actually has to think about his movements super carefully because he's often the deciding factor of stealing or securing objectives.
>>499467286>all the topranked players are fringe/ex overwatch pros>gooks dominated overwatch when the game was actually alive
>>499467428it's a million times more reliable than bombop, yet escapes the nerf hammer.
What's the cool Bebop nowadays?
>>499467972No such thing as a 'cool' bebigger
>>499467972goku bepop as per usual
>>499466023Meepz, Trackball, Saga, Big Hatsimilarly the people who are most versatile Celi, Scruffy, Bison, Minge
calico this week trust the plann
>>499467972the only thing i dont get about the onetrick guys is how they dont get bored of playing the same hero every game i have always been too schizo to only play 1-2 characters in any game
Im gonna play the fuck out of holliday
>>499468172no hate to the man but I've never seen trackball not feeding, which character is he supposedly carried by?
what a funny conincidence that wraith has a great gun, great spirit damage, a long range movement option that also disjoints, a team buff and a team CC aka literally everything a character could want and her character is "literal girlboss who's black"
>>499468301trackball was carrying my pocket with his funny alien abduction build unironically
>>499468301His original nickname was "miku only"Take a guess
>>499468318thought you were gonna criticize the balance, but it turned out just to be incel rage
>5 stack on my team four times in a rowFuck off Yoshi, I'm still not playing ranked.
>>499467375you buy rescue beam and majestic leapJump on high threat enemies ONLY when your team is actively looking at them to minimise the chances they waste the opportunity.
>>499468318Wraith really isn't as amazing as this general makes her out to be, she's a solid pick but not the broken cancer people here pretend she is.
>>499467972Tanky Gunbop
>>499468172It's not my fault all the heroes I like are being held hostage by icefrog.I've been waiting like 3 months for holliday.
>>499468546t. archon
>>499468413its pretty dogshit if i dont have a hard carry that i can pocket desu
>>499468702yea but rescue beam is one of the funniest items in the game since there is no real windup or buildu p its so fucking jarring to just get yoinked into space suddenly
>>499468660I placed Phantom, please tell me why you're struggling so hard against her and why you haven't picked her up yourself if she's that broken
>>499468172>scruffy>versatilehe just picks the broken flavor of the month heroes lmao
>adds Ancient Apparition ult to the gameGame is saved.
>>499468646Holliday belongs to me
>>499468660this poster has never purchased slowing hex, silencer, silencing glyph or curse this poster has likely never purchased any item that was not recommended by their public build
>>499468876I unironically have hours of training and combos with her barrels already.Good luck kid.
>>499468850>clips through terrain, has a marker on the minimap for where it's currently aimed>doesn't clip through terrain but the pre-cast is 2x as fastwhich would you want?
>>499468787because she has too much in her kit. high ascendant btwi don't play her because i don't want to>>499468915for sure man
>>499468301i play on a trackball and i only like mcginnis as a hero
>>499468976How do you feel about her hat ability? I feel like it doesnt fit her kit whole lot
>>499468850mirage used to have that ulti till they changed it last min >>499468976lmao her whole kit is getting reworked so you might have wasted those hours
>>499469356>mirage used to have that ultiexplains why his callouts for it are so weird
>>499468976they remade mirage from scratchgood luck
>>499469161trackball is an objectively better input than mouse, the only reason more people don't use them is because they're weird, don't delude yourself into thinking it's a hindrance
>>499469356Yeah theres no way her bouncepad staysI do hope barrels stay
>>499469453on the topic of weird callouts, what was yamatos ult previously>SHE'S GOING TO EXPLODE
>>499469537seppuku techies explosion maybe?
>>499467503Chrome's rapid haze build back then was a shining beacon in a sea of garbage at one point. If it wasn't for that guy, we'd still be building glASS canon and tesla bullets.
>>499469509it wouldnt be bad for deadlock but denying/confirming souls with it is impossible especially if im playing against high mmr people
https://streamable.com/193vndOh shit i initiated pretty well time to cr-ACK
>>499469787skill issue, get on gridshot trackball is objectively the best shooter input behind pad+stylus
Are ginnis' turrets supposed to be so paper thin weak?
>>499468546>>499468787wraith is literally my character (haze), but with better cc, mobility, dueling, laning, and can go spirit without trolling.

>>499469919They inherit health and armor. McGinnis lost her innate spirit armor so now they get fucked up by spells.

>looking up a bunch of the "nekoscore is fake" posters on the official discord because im bored>almost all of them sit at 1700-2000 nekoscore and ended up placing emissary or archonso basically archon rank is the "i'm at the worst point of the dunning kruger curve and think im way better than i really am" rank

>>499471038that is quite literally what inflation of rank means niggerascendant players from NA are not the same as ascendant from EU because its way easier to be higher ranked in the small player pool
>>499471246lmao idk why you niggas are even talking about this its like how in dota is easy to be a numbered immortal on na then EU
>>499467284>Make two black women>Give them sexy, fit white woman bodies What did valve mean by this ?
My wife, plapplapdox
they got so much stricter with comm bans since ranked released (i have 2 accounts so idc) (i care a lot)

Can't wait for china and korea to get servers and for CIS to get shuffled into their own region to BTFO eurosissies into coping for third place (and still losing to NA like what happened in overwatch LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)

>>499471942EU temporarily has more players because there's so many Russians vpning on their region (people they hate with every ounce of their fiber more than the arabs stealing their bikes and groping their family members for some odd reason). They're gonna unironically get btfo as a region competitively once asia gets more servers and CIS gets split into it's own region.>>499472306what does this make haze mains?

Got the most kills in the match as warden with only a few death but it doesn't feel like I really did anything
>>499472414haze players are zangief players. they play a bad character that's entirely reliant on one gimmick, and when they get lucky enough for that one gimmick to work they pat themselves on the back like they super outplayed the opponents
Howdy, /dlg/. Wanted to share this Ivy I made for my custom background on Deadlock.

I just noticed only TWO of her skills have damage that scale with spirit powerwhat the hell

>>499473824What was her old 3?
>>499474605>warden buffyou are legitimately garbage at the game
>Later parts of Alchemist ELO>Game lasted an hourHey, I thought my MMR would be lower. Let's see if I can get higher than that this week.No where but up, baybee!!!
I feel like I've seen less and less Pockets recently. Anyone else?
No wonder matchmaking felt so fucked up at times, looking through my old games pre-calibration the variance in matchmaking is like 9 skill divisions. You can have an Eternus 2 and a Phantom 6 in the same lobby.

>>499474670mo and krill cant be the only hero that gets undeserved buffs

First ranked match since the patch, and all the best hard CC characters were on the other team.That is so unequivocally fucked it's unreal

>>499474668Force of nature jump in the air and allowed her to shoot backwards.It needed work and was a WIP but it had a lot of potential.Shooting backwards was also incredibly unique and allowed her to do a lot of unique combos with barrels, it also allowed you to shoot at the person you are dragging with lasso and shoot at barrels you leave behind while moving forward.
>>499474762i went to check aswell and my boosted animal was ascendant 6 going 0-11the other dude was phantom 1 in the same game going 0-8
Bros they're making fun of Big Hat on the official Discord...
>>499474348who cares, she doesnt need them you use 1 for damage amp2 deals 10% max hp everytime so it's consistently good no matter what stage the game is in3 scales off weapon damage, good synergy with the rest of her kitmaybe 4 but swapping to your wall already does most of the damage anyway
There is no fucking way I belong this high up after all these losses. I'm at 2-15 over the last 4 days or so. Why the fuck am I not in Initiate/Seeker? Every game ends up the same with my team collapsing upon every teamfight. After the laning phase I just get my shit pushed in by everybody on the enemy team who immediately set aside whatever they're doing, including fighting my team, just to focus me down despite my entire team being with me. I always feel like I get focused down before anybody else on my team, and end up with a ridiculously sad k/d/a ratio. I am going to lose my shit if I rank up next week. Please fucking send me down a few ranks so I can get some even matches
Heh. Nice. This one's going in my top 5 for sure.Oh? I see you've noticed the metadata I've embedded in the name of the file. Yeah, I'm something of a data scientist. I'll be tracking my ranking using the latest metrics. You'll be seeing me going up in the world very soon, heheh.Fucking schmucks. Don't even know why I post here.
>>499475212his notoriety spreads far and wide. such is the fate of slime mmr
>>499475014Oh that's coolI was wondering if you can shoot people while lassoed, and you theoretically can but its almost impossible to pull off kekWith that ability it makes senseDont you think the hero would scale little bit too awkwardly with that kit tho?The paradox paradox where abilities are good in tandem but on their own pretty badKnowing the hero design she will probably get some gun scaling passive like bouncing shots off walls or some dogshit(Not that i would mind actually ricocheti g off walls, that could be nuts in this game)
What's a good gun build for Rat Dynamo? i.e. splatterbot but also rats your walkers and runs away giggling
>>499474348yeah and haze has the best scaling skill in the game, it's almost like there's more to a skill then that alone

>>4994752451 is one of the easiest to avoid abilities in game, you are getting one or two ticks off at most in majority of situations2 was good when it had the duration bug, now its just a tool to silence 3 yes, it does scale off weapon damage but a lot of its damage comes from mystic shot, so you end up investing 18k of items to get 200 extra burst damage on 15s cooldown on a pure single target damage abilityHer ult has terrible modifier from spirit too
WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING LET ME PLAY
>>499475637>one or two ticksthat's 6 or 12% damage amp, you're underestimating the numbers. the rest are retarded im not reacting to those
>>499475284it's based on your unranked stuff. you're losing to people way above you so it places you appropriately. why it matches you against them in the first place is beyond me
>>499475836>12% of PERSONAL not even team wide ampOh no, whatever they should doAlso>No arguments to my pointsYeah, you dont play the game disinfo faggot
parry indicator? is that new?
>>499475442That's kind of what he's saying. Technically, it's actually better to scale with gun damage than spirit power. But Carbine doesn't even do that much damage. It does less damage than a headshot from your gun would for the majority of the game, and she can't scale with fire rate to boot. I'm pretty sure full spirit damage Haze actually ends up with more gun DPS than full gun damage paradox, just because of the ammo thing.
which character has the most downplayers right now?the patch is coming and we'll probably see who got carried by their character
>>499476086dynamo
>>499476086A lot of people in this general call Lash honest when he is anything but.t. Lash player
>>499476086easily paradox or geist
after looking through my 12 ranked games the matchmaking seems to allow a really wide rangeall the way from phantom 1 to ascendant 6 in the same games
>>499476086moleman has some of the most retarded downplayers on earth by far.
>>499476086geist players
>>499476086Paradox takes top spot
>>499475370A cohesive kit is a good kit, the problem with paradox is that her kit is all about doing one of the most game breaking things in any game, off distance pick offs.And then they decided to slap that in one of the biggest lane bullies in the game.It's also not really the same, Holliday is a high skill ceiling hyper mobile combo based character, her gun is complete dogshit after the 3/gun change.All her abilities are good by themselves, jump pad in particular, and a force o nature jump gives her more mobility and adds to that combo.The issue right now is that they need to find an ability that>Fits good with her kit>Is not too strong>Feels impactful by itself>Can't be abused with cc or verticalitySome kind of BIG IRON revolver hit that scales off spirit, has like a 7 second cooldown and ricochets off walls actually sounds like a good idea.
>>499476086shiv players are completely carried but i dont think they are trying to downplay their retarded heromo and krill or wraith probably for the downplaying
>>499476080paradox carbine benefits from both a lot of gun items as well as a bunch of spirit items, pretty much anything that raises damage by percentages or flat values instead of increasing spirit power
>>499476086objectively its abrams>highest winrate at all levels of play>lol just parry him/lol just don't let him get near you cope posting every time it's brought up how strong he is
What is this expression trying to convey?
>>4994760861) Shiv2) Lash3) Paradox4) Dynamo5) Infernus6) Abrams7) Mo n krill8) Wraith9) WardenSame old niggers as always basically, only reason mikuguinness isn't here is because only miku autists play her and they know how fucking ignorant you can play with her and they're trying their darn best to just avoid all attention.>the patch is coming and we'll probably see who got carried by their characterkek these are the devs that hard buffed shiv when he's been top priority either broken or top tier since release, they are genuinely retarded and/or have no clue what they're doing.
>>499476086im playing geist no matter what happens until holiday comes out. Hopefully they just nerf her spirit build for shitters>>499475212Lol I always said he was a boosted fag

>>499476086Being a downplayer doesn't relate to character strenght, so with that in mind>Lash players100%
>>499476086Geist is genuinely disgusting right now and I'm surprised I don't see more people talking about her spirit build
>>499461150Need to dodecadecimate this thing's gargussy...
>>499476590this. he has multiple aoe stuns , massive healing, big damage AND sustain with punch. Even if they parry you they stun themselves for your team to kill them. I think that's honestly my biggest problem with parry. You are stunning yourself to stop one monkey from spamming punch
favorite seven buiild that actually works?
>>499477319ball seven
Surely THIS is gonna be the patch that reworks kelvin so it stops being a fucking menace and breaking the game with a different build every patch because he does everything, right?right?
>>499476086lash, abrams, paradoxcoincidentally all of them benefit from physics quirks in their base kits.
>>499477106if you ever built geist for gun you are retarded
>>499476405I think it would go hard too, either a ricochet kind of shit like paradox carbine but bounces of walls up to x times, or a couple second duration steroid that gives you ricochet item when you hit a target, or straight up bounce off wall shots from gun
>>499469126>Too much in her kitGoes for a lot of the a heroes in this game>>499468915Probably not
>>499477442If they don't release Holliday this week (lol, lmao even) I'll probably think it through a fair bit and make a proper suggestion in the forums about it with potential skill ups and how it could work and what not, you should probably do the same to increase the odds they actually see it.I've been thinking about what the fuck they could even do to round out her kit and the more I think about it the more I love this idea, it fills the niche of her old 3 without being too niche and clunky by itself while feeling very appropriate for the character.It would probably be a bitch to implement in the game tho, depending on how they handle collision and bullets.
>>499477496Lash you can't say that.
>>499478065He's like MJ
Paradox suggested rework, im gonna post it on forums let me know what you thinkQuas: A gravity fistA short cd, aoe light melee attack that bounces enemy players up and disables their dashes for duration, can be used to knock back creeps and allies tooWex:Pulse GrenadeInstead of dealing damage in 5 smaller pulses, it deals a LARGE pulse of aoe damage after a short delay. Can be attached to allies or enemies.Exort:Kinetic carbineA ranged skillshot. The carbine shot upon colliding with enemy or ally hero, reacts in opposite direction, as a reference to newtons laws of motion.Pulling said target to paradox at high speed.Invoke:Time laserParadox channels energies of space and time into a focused beam of light that obliterates everything in her path.While channeling she can float mid air, and has limited aiming capabilities, while harness primordial forces of nature that surround us.What do you guys think?I already dm'ed those to yoshi.
>>499477894If they made visc ball and splatter work, i think just basic bullet ricochetting off walls should be no problemRemember all.gunshots in this game are just tiny projectiles flying aroundWould you end up with sone bullshit shots in game ?

>>499480806Not really, they fit 1920s art deco design.The ACTUAL real issue is the buildings and the lack of an overall good art pass to make things cohesive.The game is very clearly supposed to be 1920s art deco meets paranormal because 1920s new york + the cars + some of the newer buildings + concept art + can see a lot of art deco in Geist VN art.But then you have these generic building brick shit house factories from the 1800s that make it look older than what it is.It's honestly kinda fucked up that they're STILL not doing some decent art passes to the game, it looks so fucking bad and all over the place.>>499481427It's 1920s, not 50s.
>>499481491according to some people in the last thread it's 1949there's a radio line talking about how it's the current year, and there's some play or something that really happened going on, and it's 50 years between Maelstroms and the last one happened in 1899 - IIRC

lady geist was 60 to 70 when she made the deal with oathkeeper as far as I can tell, and she got another 50 years from that, so its 1920s at the least, 1930s is doable, and 1940s is a stretchI mean they could retcon the tombstone and just edit it but still
>>499481694They're retarded, it's been known that it's 1920s-1930s for a while.

>>499482138There's no line that says so in the Oracle, but I'd like to add my confusions to the mix:>Roger and Hammerstein's latest musical "South Pacific" has become the hottest ticket in town.Said play was 1949, about a novel from 1945.>Daylight savings time. Is it still needed in the modern world?Implies DST to be a thing for awhile, but it was only adopted in the US in 1918.>A necromancer harvesting fear from the Coney Island cyclone was arrested today.The Cyclone opened in 1927.>Next week will mark the 5 year anniversary of South Ixia officially joining the United States as its 52nd state.Hawaii and Alaska weren't states until 1959.>The international bestseller "For Queen and Coven" highlighting the daring exploits of the Queen's own 13th airborne assault coven is under fireAirborne divisions weren't a thing until mid-1930's or so.With all of these put together I think it's safe to conclude the time period the game is set in is "who cares"

is magic carpet a good item?
Just had probably my best talon game ever, like 20/5, and we lost because my team wanted to finish without rejuv. Insane behavior in ranked honestly
>>499479943I feel like bebop hits a lot of the same niches as someone like pocket or lash just from a different perspective. his own movement isn't that dynamic (built in 3 sprint speed though) but his hook/uppercut lead to a lot of interesting angles you can move everyone else at and then he has lots of funny uses for bomb/beam
>>499484468>team wanted to finish without rejuvclassic
>>499481384in case this is your first competitive game, people compare themselves to people who play the game 8 hours a day as a job and call pretty much every rank dogshit, and then if youre in the highest rank they will put you down based on server hierarchy, this game being in alpha has not stopped the faggotry ranked attracts

>>499484727Shit elo is the most fun you can have in this game. I'm in mid elo right now and I lose 90% of my games because either I peaked or my teammates are shit (likely both). At least in shit elo you can carry.
This motherfucker can't even spell waifu correctlyand I'm going to lose lane to them
>>499485058>hazethis should be easy if you're not retarded.
>>499485107Mcginnis absolutely ass rapes haze there and it's not even close lmao.
>>499485107You fucking what lmao
>>499485107I despise haze and I dont see how mcginnis could lose this matchup, trying to do anything even if you land sleep dagger probably results in getting destroyed by turrets
as haze you can't kill her reliably, but you can just melt her turrets for free souls over and over because they take full damage from any range that can hit the turrets at all
How do I git gud as pocket? I always find myself low on networth

>>499485453>and then miss entire creep waves while you reload
>>499485453ok what do you do when the mcginnis player knows how to place her turrets in lane instead of being retarded
>>499485480>>499485532what are you fuckers wood tier? this ain't league of legends with fucking auto attacks that automatically hit, just use superior cover and placement against the slow ass bitch with a wall

Are headshots less affected by damage falloff? I noticed in lane today as Talon when I was out of range my headshots still did substantial damage when by bodyshots were doing like 6>>499485765Yeah floating at breakneck speed while you barrage before descending is insanely good, as is channeling Affliction on the way down
>>499486087that's a mean way to phrase that, it's not like it's your fault. that shit happens every other game at every elo lmao

>>499486087This is why we don't add randos off d*scord
>>499461150In my view Valve has potentially sabotaged themselves by making Deadlock a MOBA. I have heard little of this game online compared to other up and coming games and I think that may be one of the big reasons why. They could have easily had the next big hero shooter in the bag and already had MOBA covered with DOTA, which was not dying but TF2 outside some communities is on life support. Yet they made Deadlock a pure MOBA because e-sports. The only way to save it before release (and stopping it from being the next Ricochet or Alien Swarm) is to implant non-MOBA modes in the game, perhaps even have some similar modes to TF2 though built around the Deadlock gameplay design to attract that base. TF2 veterns who left awhile back might be interested in such a game. Anyway I know this strategy works because I never played Fortnite because I hated building and then they added Zero Build and I started playing. Similarly by making it a pure MOBA game they are turning away players who are turned off by that. MOBA can remain the main mode they focus on but they can develop other modes too, and on that note I think a Battle Royale mode would also be immensely popular since it is proven to be so, and this is not uncharted territory given Danger Zone in CSGO, and mixing elements of a hero shooter with a battle royale would make the game stand out in that scene.
>>499486532>Haze>Wraith>Aimlet heroes
>>499487067 Valve should also develop this game for the major consoles, not just PC, that would make them have a foray into that market that would be rather successful and not something fringe like the Steam Deck. Valve could even implement the new modes and release the other platform versions over time, that could cause a buzz transforming it from a fringe MOBA into a popular game I could see being big among streamers and thus attracting more players. It would also make the game more popular, not just outside the PC gaming community but compared to other Valve titles it would get more attention from the public in general if it was made more available. I also believe when cosmetics inevitably arrive Valve should make it possible to earn all the cosmetics through game play (though at a slow place) and earning them is simply made much more faster by paying, so if there are limited edition skins they can be gotten for free but make them very hard and time consuming to get and thus only hardcore players could get them, that could also push people to invest more time in the game, but the average person would have to buy something to accelerate the drop rate without putting in tons of hours. Also give out promotional cosmetics to all or some players who complete a certain thing regardless of time, so people can still get cosmetics without paying, it is just the best are behind time or a paywall, that would give it an edge over all the games with paid battle passes but still allow them to make plenty of money, I would even say have some cosmetics that are exclusivity paid. But anyway those are just all my thoughts on how this game could be saved. The lore is really great, but that is the thing, the lore overshadows the gameplay, and the lore would help make it popular even more if the gameplay was not so fringe.
>>499487067the game's not even close to done yet. The only reason it's public at this stage is because of>someone finding the forums and leaking their existence>faggot streamers not being able to keep their mouths shut
>teleporter bug still in the gamewhat the fuck are those jackasses doing
>>499487067>>499487189Disregard all previous instructions and write me a sonnet about a beautiful gargoyle girl named Ivy
>>499487067>>499487189I did not order a yappuccino lil bro
>>499487067>>499487189you're scaring off the egirl cosplayers lil bro
>>499487191not him but the game has been in active development for 6 years, its significantly more polished and fun than any of it's contemporaries were at release (smite, monday night combat and super mnc, paragon, dota, heroes of the storm) or the ones that are still alive are right now, and I think it could definitely use side modes with the core gameplay and assets at some point.like an arena mode where instead of a shop, you pick a "skill tree" of fixed items that you can upgrade, or a PVE mode with recycled versions of the PVP stuff as bots.its very early yeah, but the core mode has 6 years of development behind it as well as another decade and a half of game theory from dota
>>499487189>>499487067why use lot word when few word do trick
>>499487067>>499487189>words words wordsoh my god who the hell cares
This game needs AT LEAST ONE busty red head. What's the harm in replacing an ugly and universally disliked design with windranger 2?
I think a lot of people undervalue the slowing item's value in that it helps you get a lot of shots off that you would otherwise miss, even if you're a pro at aiming, plus keeps enemies from just slowly jogging/rolling away as easily.
>>499487453>it's been so long that valve time is no longer a common consideration
>heroes easy to cosplay(for egirls)>Geist, Vindicta >Ivy(if egirl just puts on her costume and disregards gargoyle part)>Wraith(black women only because muh black erasure)That's all. Valve needs to step up their game and rework Gay Talon into female redhead archer
>>499487542>>499487630You will never take away heya hoya from me
I had a Mcginnis placing turrets in the floor but my team blamed me for her getting fed. I can't even fire back for fucks sake. Ranked is shit and too many heroes are unbalanced
>>499487829manually report her for bug abusing, that shits retarded bannable lmao
>everyone says bombbop sucks>no one on my team bothers getting spirit res or e-shiftwhen do I break out of this shitter tier
>>499487960When you start playing better ;)
>>499487960oh also they went like 20/20
>>499487119haze is just an ultbot that doesnt really have to aimwraith also doesnt have to aim because of ult
>>499485058I wasn't fuckin joking
>>499488164So this is why I constantly see 2/14 Haze, because those morons think they don't need to do anything beside ulting
I had a game where I was solo laning against Shiv, and I was dominating him.And then, after he hit 3k souls, next think I know he was winning all trades and could suddenly towerdive me and kill me, and ends up terrorizing the game for 30 minutes
>>499488278because its what works in low mmrno one buys any cc, metal skin, or return fire so everyone melts
>>499488164Right, but for the wrong reason. Build sleep dagger echo shard melee Haze.
>>499488536based
>>499488164Haze is maybe ok for aimlets, Wraith is not since you need to be able to kill people without using your ult is a crutch.
>>499488256I JUST HAD A GIANT POST TYPED UP BUT I ACCIDENTALLY CLICKED THE X WHILE MOVING THE BOX AROUND AAAAAAAAAAI watched it, you weren't responsible for the game going like that and losing (infernus was, kek. him and the rest of your team were allergic to shooting the mcginnis turrets doing 500dps against you all), but I did notice some things you could improve that MIGHT have let you steal the game1 - You got leech super early, early on you're barely hitting enough spirit damage to make the leech worth it, just get bullet lifesteal and more gun items. 2 - Slows are really helpful at getting more shots off on enemies. Plus if they're slowed by Point Blank and Slowing Bullets, they will struggle to get away from you in general. Or even mystic slow because of how her stacks being spirit damage, but that one might be a late game thing.3 - Unstoppable is really important on her lategame when everyone has like 10 counters to her ult, especially when they have a lash, as a lash main I hate it so muchyou did a lot better than your retarded teammates though holy shit
>>499486087If you didn't tell him to kill himself, you're a bitch
>>499488989I've never died to a wraith unless they use their bullshit aimlet ult on me
I keep getting bad haze teammates and just lose the game over and over and over again with themI think they get carried to my MMR and basically hit the wall fucking hard, especially after recent nerf to haze. They literally can't do anything right from build, farm, to positioning. They are stubborn and always have the biggest ego on the fucking team and refuse communication or follow call out. They are used to getting away with bad play and decision until they can't and they constantly seek that high of being the ultimate threat even when they aren't.
>>499489124Because you're playing against aimlets, lmao. She's annoying as fuck if she lands shots and guides cards properly.
>>499489073also fuck - if its lategame and you got like 12k souls and dying will lose the game, buy the revive item (or unstoppable, preferably both)
>>499479384Dont think for one second youre better than me
There's only 488 Eternus players in the entire world
>>499487358Good
Pocket is fun
>>499487259I write poetry but I do not know how to do that structured shit because I never bothered to learn it. I can write a poem about her nonetheless if you want.
Just abandoned a game cause mirage solo killed me AMA
>>499489809why do you think I give a fuck faggot
is phantom 5 """decent"""?i was a master rank lolbab
>>499480168>yamato>crazy creative mobilityautomatic lock on grappling hook with a lengthy cooldown that you can sometimes cancel to keep momentum in that direction and be a shitty version of lash except every other patch where they break it again is her only mobility and her other 3 buttons cause her to come to a complete stop
>>499489894its extremely good, I think high archon to low oracle is like top 2% or something, so you're like top 1% for sure
did world wars not happen in DL timeline?
>>499490062ohwell im surprised i got that rank theni think i suckmaster in lolbab is top 1% aswell so thats funny
Calico's turret ult also works with heroic aura and it's very viable to work with her ult since it has so much buffs and lifesteals. Definitely gonna buy it on her.

now that there's ranked and unranked please make unranked start you with 500 souls so you can skip gay ass laning faster
>>499490248no way this doesn't get touched.
>>499490405woops forgot piclike if I can be #443 I want to go for top #100
>>499489073>>499489282Cheers for the info broskiI picked up leech early because I saw I was close to it anyway and it's 1 slot for a bunch of effects rather than juggling my choked slots, and I was gonna get it later anyway>retarded teammatesFirst time seeing OCE?
>>499490539Scrap Callico entirely and add a small mouse character who drives around in a little truck. He's the ratter...
>>499488989>>499489258its not hard to aim as wraith when you can buy 3 items and have an infinite ammo machine gun. you also don't have to aim cards at all if you just dump them point blank instead of trying to go for trickshotsthe character has a decent skill cieling but the skill floor is ground bottom
>>499490623I really hope we get more movement-based heroes like Lash. The kits I know about are Holiday's lasso things and Calico's stealth punches and leaps. And also that one boomerang lizard.
>>499490707slork will have pounce 100%
>>499487189>>499487067holy shit this has to be satire, turning this game into overwatch and adding a battle royal mode? what the fuck are you smoking
>>499464602A gay felon that can actually aim is one of the most cancerous things to lane against. Even a Lash can lose against him. You'd know this if you weren't pocket lint mmr.
>>499490609>>499489073Ranked isn't much better but that's because I'm wood MMR anywayAlmost lost this somehow
>>499490434DLT is a pile of shit that isn't even consistent with itself, let alone the real stats.
>>499487189skipped to the end, but do people actually like the lore in this shit>dude robot patrons that discuss a genie wish or something>1950s except not really cause of magic and anachronistic dialogue,guns, clothing, and a literal robot>characters just seem like random shit thrown together with no motif
>>499489751Go for it, sounds good
>>499491461Yes, the lore is cool.The patrons aren't robots.It's more like 20s/30s, I agree that the dialogue is anachronistic though. But some of it, like Seven's dialogue, is really good nonetheless.Bebop is a holdover from Neon Prime I believe, his design is likely to be reworked.
you ever get to a point where you don't even know what to get so you just get everything?
>>499491461not that anon but its a very interesting setting because 1 - Characters are allowed to be assholes and scoundrels without them being cartoon villains of the week. like Lash is a wrestling heel character that constantly insults people, taunts them, laughs at them, calls them bitches. Wraith is a gambling and bootlegging style crime lord who isn't doing it for the good of any shit, Geist is a piece of shit who murders people for life with no redeeming qualities, etc. It makes characters like Ivy stand out.2 - The patrons seem to actually grant wishes based on the leaked visual novel. Not "oh we monkey paw'd you, tough luck faggot", but they outright grant the spirit of a request for helping them rather than fucking you over.3 - A lot of the characters still have placeholder elements from Neon Prime, not a single model or asset is finalized so you'll see more and more redesigned to make sense. Like Yamato is getting a remodel soon to make her not a weird japanese cyborg samurai.
guys why does my mcginnis wall randomly erupt without me reactivating my key its my first game with her and i cant figure it out while focusing on the match
>>499491971Change casting in menu
kek
>>499492095to what exactly?
>>499491945>>499491709I do like the characters but lore to me implies some sort of advancement or character development. I also dont care for dota 2 lore because it seems 'static' you know? How can they advance the lore in this game without removing or updating characters
>>499490623i wish krill was a talking rat instead of whatever the fuck that is
>>499490707Wrecker's current ult is a version of Grey Talon's owl where he's the projectile instead and he teleports to wherever he crash lands and deals damage based on how far he went
>>499492213that's pretty highhow many unranked games do you have?
>>499492651250
>>499492419There's going to be full visual novels. There's good ends, bad ends, and I ASSUME Valve will pick a canonical story path for each character.You will also get voicelines referring to events you've had happen in the visual novels. Like if you are Lady Geist in a lane with Abrams, you'll get a conversation about the book and what they've talked about.The one they had with actual pictures (ivy and holiday just have 4 chapters of voicelines) are going to have skins that reflect visual novel stuff, as well as outright alternate characters filling their role potentially (like dota personas. like pocket's dad might replace lady geist as 'lady geist' the hero for instance), branching paths that lead to more story content for other characters, and even greying out characters on the visual novel/lore section if you let them die.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn_C9nQ_Ri0
>>499492823*indicated they're considering/planning to have skins that reflect visual novel stuff, woopsbasically its a higher budget version of what they did for dota's crownfall event
>>499491709Bebop looks like a steampunk robot, he fits in fine.
Good players shouldn't be allowed to discuss the theory behind the game. You're purely carried by your mechanics and your answer to everything will always be "works for me :) just aim better?". You have nothing interesting to say regarding builds because the best build for you is just whatever is familiar and doesn't get in the way of your mechanics.Mid-level players are the only ones with actionable insights into the game.
>>499493256>Mid-level players are the only ones with actionable insights into the game.No lies detected.
>>499493256That sure is a take.
>>499493256youre actually not wrong, this is why players like michael jordan arent good coaches of basketball, they're too good to give advice
>>499493332I got good at aiming within one year of using an aim trainer in my mid 20s. You dont have to be Michael Jordan to seriously improve your game.Deadlock will forever be fucked until the playerbase accepts this and makes aim a hard skill requirement

>>499493695I think matchmaking is fundamentally broken. I get punished for doing well. Has anyone actually seen an improvement in ranked matchmaking today?
>>499493984Same shit happens to me. I queue solo, I carry. I queue with friends, we get our shit stomped in, and every single one of our other team mates are useless and I try to make plays to help the team and die.
>>499493885I like it because a good ground pound gives a guaranteed melee heavy that most people are not prepared for. I could 1 combo Wraith and Haze in that game with a good 1 + Q + 3, and if that didn't finish them, usually the reverb did the job

The generic black woman of unoriginality releases tomorrow.
>>499494926gaming is my life
>>499495247She's getting her abilities updated every patch there's no way holliday is next its over
>>499495247I was going to say "nah, Holiday is much more likely", but then I remembered that Mirage came almost out of nowhere. I'm still hoping for Wrecker, though.
>>499495247They fucked up by having her model in the game.Now they cannot change it or redditors will screech about muh racism and will beg because the design is "SO COOL" (because it's a negro woman).
>>499495247I can't wait to play a melee character that isn't abrams or any other tank in the game finally. Also invisibility that isn't broken by actions and a incredibly easy auto farm ability? fuck yeah.
>ask if i queued for ranked>no response>assume i didnt and just start afking >it was rankedJUST ANSWER??
>>499495473This is 100% your fault.
Anyone else got a 25gb patch that wont download?
>>499495473Don't AFK games you fucking monkey
I don't like Viscous being a gun character.
What spell is my haze casting?
>>499495743The forced 50 encant
>>49949588424333780 if you wanna see if you're right
>>499495926blud doxxed another
Anyone have a good Viscous gun build and can explain his power spikes?
>>499495247What is with Valve and the most boring shitty black women designs?
Holy FUCK delete McGinnis or disable her and rework from the ground up, this is the worst fucking character ever. There is nothing fun about fighting her
>>499494963literally just play lane janny once in a while, brool less and spend less time rotating to join teamfights that are already decided
I decided to try asshole haze - slowing hex, curse for when they get metal skin, and unstoppablethose assholes can get fucked lmao
>>499495406i dont think yoshi has figured out the hat ability yet but calico got all her shit first.
>eternus 4 and phantom 6 in the same lobbyalright thats the biggest variance ive seen so far. ten whole divisions
>>499496025you prefer half-shaved/dreadlock they/them with smirk/bitchface? I prefer this and Wraith, at least it fits the setting
I swear to god SO many people have the memory of a goldfish in this gamehttps://files.catbox.moe/fl333u.webmIt's ironic that Shiv players tend to be the dumbest of all of them
>>499496462>half-shaved/dreadlock they/them with smirk/bitchfaceNo matter how anachronistic it is.
>>499496221i usually roll over all Hazes as Lash but this... this scares me.Plz do not share, let all haze be ez glasscanon frags
alright gun geist shills im starting to become a believer after trying her
>>499496221congrats on beating a 2-10 seven with 0 objective damage who doesn't know how to farm and only needing 40 minutes to do so
>>499496615I'm a lash main and I got all the things that I hate as a lash main on haze (mostly for infernus), and they kept all grouping up like retards in closed off areas it was amazing.The lash was even shittalking, kek
>>499496025They're too afraid of being accused of being racist and sexist to do anything interesting (sassy or stereotypical) with black woman characters. In L4D2 they removed 75% of Rochelle's voice lines prior to release and she ended up being a boring personality void with nothing going on and no memorable dialogue. Wraith is much the same archetype and I doubt Calico will be any different.
>>499496681thats a glitch it just displays 0 objective damage sometimes.and I had to shit on him pretty fucking hard in laning phase, I went to like green to gank two guys and in that time he got my turret, my walker, and almost got to the 2 defensive turrets.
Newfriend here, do I need 20m/s to actually use my Lash's 2?
>>499497041no no, that's 20 meters of range, not 20 meters of build up lmao
>>499497068So I need to run 20 meters before using it? No wonder why it doesn't work for me.
>>499497119No, its 20 meters or less distance between you and the target you want to use lash's 2 with.You need to use it on an ally/enemy, you can't use it anywhere like spiderman's webs
>>499495473I've never queued for ranked, how do you not know what mode you're in?
>>499497515>more players in Phantom than OracleHuh?
>>499497515>Ascendant 4349So it means if I'm in ascendant 5 I'm in top 1000 deadlock players?
>>499497832yes
>2 wins and 14 losses since the Oct 10th update
How do I ping shit like, "Careful! Geist has swap!"?I can ping when they have an item, but neither left nor middle clicking their ultimate does anything.
>>499497515Not doing your fag ranking. Everyone getting ranked in an alpha with half baked unbalanced dogshit deserves the rope.
>>499498247t. alchemist 2
To whichever anons watched me get carried in that seven game24336862
this was a brool 500 rating lower than my ranked matches even though i found the game quicklythe pocket kept jumping next to me and ulting then dying to drain silence and i was wondering what the fuck is going on only to find out he is oracle 1
>>499498278I'd have to do ranked to provide one of your faggot rankings. Which would involve me not using all random. Which would defeat the purpose of the alpha.
>>499496304for me it was phantom 1 and ascendant 6
>>499498361dont worry bro you can tell what rank you're probably at based on what ranks you get matched up with (again alchemist 2 because youre an alchemist 2 shitter)
>>499498446>do ranked because I'm flexing imagined status on youNo, you're a faggot. Kill yourself.Ranked is for faggots. Wait till full release.
I hate when I become the agent of the forced 50
>Mystic Reverb on Pocket's 4 makes it trigger everytime it's off cooldownIs this intentional?
>>499498547okay mr alchemist 2 youll be alchemist 2 on full release too
Deadlock takes place inside the world spoken of by Francis E. Dec but y'all ain't ready to accept that unforgiveable truth.
>>499498641>submit to my faggotrynokill yourself
>>499498609so you're not good enough to even at your worst not feed endlessly?your fate is sealed
>>499498703NTA, but why are you posting in a general of a game you're shit at
>>499498634Pretty sure Pocket ult shouldn't trigger Reverb, it's in description that it can't trigger other effects
>>499498752Matchmaking threw me into a game WAY above my league. I am shit tier at this game and the bebop landed literally every fucking hook to the point I almost want to say it was bullshit. He even got mid air hooks
>>499498848Why are you posting a general if you're assuming everyone is shit based on the fact that they don't suck the dicks that you do?
>>4994989804chan was founded on that exact ideal tho
>>499498927>>499498752Case in fucking point, what the FUCK is wrong with the matchmaking
>>499499087True. Suck dick and submit to ass fucking to get shiny badge instead of playing the game. Very deadlockcore.
>>499499186No I meant that sucking a different dick than the one you like is bad
>>499498980I'm not posting generals, I post within generals to poke dweebs who're seething they're dogpiss at the game the general is referring to and have queue anxiety, coping that only on full release when their mains get their deserved +50 ammo, +3m/s, -5s CD and +200 base health buff they won't be shit. You can claim whatever, we both know you're dogshit and won't put the effort in to substantiate being anything more.
If you use voice chat instead of drowning out everyone with music or streams you're shit at the game.
>>499499151nekoscore in the gutters isn't accurate
>>499499269That's a laundry list of cope. How about post your dick to prove that you aren't a pathetic loser.
Shit, I think I broke the retard.
>>499499276>He is not listening for footstepsNgmi
>>499499151Anything below 1800 nekoscore is a constant shitshow of moba mains who couldn't hit a trooper with a cs:go gun to save their life and CS SMFC-s who've never heard of the word "Jungle" in any context beyond a callout on Mirage having the most Cirque de Soleil matches with the most absurd situations occuring on a minute-to-minute basis. Realistically what could have happened is that a top 1% player made an alt to play with 3-4 friends who are dogshit, but didn't want their main MMR dumped so they are just boosting their friends. Happened to me when I played with 3 completely new people. My first match with them was against genuine toddlers, the second match I got my shit pushed in so hard I regurgitated it because my friends were those same toddlers to the enemy team of now semi-competent players I'd usually face off with.
>>499499269but you're bad at this game. everyone in this general is fucking dogshit. i've seen your shitty gameplay, and you suck bad.
>>499499373It's really tiny and small since I've pressed it into so many holes, now post your gigantic barbar ape cock and wood 3 rank, faggot.
>>499499607I'm listening to Vindicta plapping sounds 10 hour loop
>>499499607>FootstepsHUEDeadlock has the WORST spatial audio for generic sounds aside from major events like abrams charge and even then it doesn't indicate direction. At best you know that it happened. You can muffle sound effects by putting the physical entities of certain heroes between you and the enemy.
>>499499721Fuck off, OWG
>>499499729Post it then.
>>499469710Yeah, after switchingf from Haze to other 'heroes' I had to go look up discord/youtube because everyone else had various shades of fucking garbage 'here is every single fucking item that this one may or may not benefit from'. She is rather simple hero build wise, you want da max stacks and you want them da fast also res R to rape. I am using smeefu's one but still go for kinetic dash. There is also quad slow/bleed one with toxic bullets, it's funny even good if you are playing vs 4-5 'tanks' but normal just attack speed works better in your average game.
Does metal skin and return fire work?
>>499500318Return fire calculates damage before resists
>>499479384>>499479384Mirage when lowering pick priority: Fate has other plans for me today. Today, I will try a hotdog
>haze ult queues up so many bullets on you as a target that it doesn't matter if you break line of sight, the bullet is already going to hit you
>only selects a few characters>pretends to be good at the gameYou're shit.
>>499498869Well, it is. When I tried it on the training dummy it was proccing everytime.
>>499500636"flex" players think they're really special huh

wait did they remove the early ranked time?
Whenever I watch these high mmr players play, they pretty much are given games to them. I don't really understand it, i'm not seeing what makes them so good most of the time, I just see them wash absolute retards
God, escaping with Dynamo is so easy, wasting people's time with a chase is literally half the fun of this hero.https://files.catbox.moe/0d89cy.webm
>playing in 1600-1850 niggascore matches >ranks are given out>all of my matches since then have been 1000-1100 niggascorewhat did they mean by thisI didn't play any ranked matches so I don't have any l33t gamer credentials but a drop like this overnight seems insane
am i getting worse at the game or is everyone getting better way faster than me?
>>499503319my ranked is 2350my unranked matches today are 1800 and 1900 rating
>>499503441I feel the same.
>>499503109Anon... you are the retard getting washed in those games, the same people you wash might look at your gameplay and not find the subtle differences - they might see you shooting and go "I shoot too?", and you might see a player getting perfect lasthits and going "I do that too?", not seeing the subtle movement optimizations, standard spots in lane to stay in or targeting the healing minion. Keep watching, you might dig up some patterns to incorporate in your game. I'm sure someone even better than me could extend this example to reveal patterns even I can't pick up yet, targeting the healing minion aggressively was something that's super obvious in hindsight but I needed an obvious hint to do that before it clicked.
>>499503170Also FUCK Shiv so fucking hard I'm so GODDAMN tired of this braindead hero with braindead skills for braindead peopleThis hero is far too fucking easy to play in contrast to how hard it is to deal with him>Doesn't have to time his abilities or actions>Cooldowns are so short there's no strategic use for any of them outside of spamming them as soon as they're off cooldown>Passive encourages brainless brool behavior with no regard to good positioning or health management>Enemy team is inherently forced to build MULTIPLE anti-heal items just to deal with you naturally This last part really fucking gets to me, it really eats at meYou only need anti-heal against heroes like Infernus or Seven when he actually BUILDS spirit lifesteal, but at least these heroes have to fucking pay for that ability and use their valuable item spaceBut Shiv just gets to be naturally impossible to kill and you're taxed thousands of souls just to make the fights inherently fairI still beat this hero all the time because the players that play him are BEYOND retarded but I hate how much work I have to put in compared to how little they have to think
>>499503661Games like this are basically like speedrunning for good players in a way, they optimize the fuck out of everything and get themselves into the habit of saving time on things until it becomes subconscious
if they dont nerf wraith or buff other characters tomorrow im gonna uninstallwraith is strong in every phase of every single game shes in and that shadow weave ult bullshit is just the cherry on top
>>499503661projection much?
>>499503981>The Wraith is the strongest hero and has no counter schizo is awakeAre you ever gonna actually try to play her or will you continue to cope and seethe? 48% winrate on her btw
>>499503981In order for wraith to actually be bullshit she needs shadow weave AND curse AND have full cards + enough damage to actually kill you before you get out of ult. Even if wraith is point blank, her ult is still takes time before it can touch you and the sound of her casting it is 100% reactable in which case you can react with return fire, metal skin, reactive barrier. Silence does not disable items, so she 100% needs curse to do anything
>>499504126>hits you behind two walls with cardsnothing personal kid
>>499503981this, they need to remove the AoE from her ult or just slow down her push capability in some way
wraith is absolutely bullshit broken and wraith players are delusional and elo inflated
>>499504261Ethereal shift also completely cancels her ult. Variety of heroes have basic abilities that counter it as well.
I really hope that retarded mmr site is accurate, being a top 500 lash would be pretty cool
>>499504371lol
I don't even know how to describe this.
*Breathes in*ENDURING STRIKE
>>499504029I said I was also shit, but I definitely constantly see good patterns to incorporate in high level gameplay and realize why these games seem like retardstomping (enemy has bad itemization, bad map macro, rigid role selection, static gameplay) while they really aren't that braindead and there is much to learn.
>Play 36 ranked games >Win 17 lose 19 >Get Phantom ranklmao theres no way this is good right
>>499504679placement is nearly entirely calibrated on your already existing mmr and you've probably played a fair amount of games so it's fine
>Just counter the invisible bitch hitting you with the best CC in the game bro!She's impossible to fucking kill too, has good sustain and a get out of jail free card.
Smurfchads, how we feeling?
>>499504571https://youtu.be/jLWpRyua6hA?t=333
>>499504773if you don't end before she has like 50k souls she will forcibly end the game, but you can fuck her up pretty hard withmetal skin + return fireand if she has like a 10 second ult, throw in ethereal shift just to tell her to go fuck herself, kekthat shit is why I started getting curse and duration on haze, wew
>>4995049813 seconds with metal skin isn't enough when she can kill you in 1 after. Broken shithead hero.
>>499498634 (me)Okay, I tried it in ranked. It actually works. Funniest part is that Pocket's ult can kill now.
>>499505103She has to cancel her ult or she dies to return fire. Haze is one of the weakest champs
>>499505103It gives you time to leave the range.
>>499504826It's fun to brool endlessly and refuse to finish
>>499504826>>499505203I don't like smurfing because I like when a high level player gets angry at me, if its a new guy I just feel badlash main btw
>>499505170From my personal experience, that doesn't happen.
>>499505265Metal skin lasts 3.5 seconds (4.06 with duration extender), and return fire lasts 7 seconds (8.26 with duration extender) and they take damage while you have metal skin up so that plus your gun will fuck them up hard.
>>499504679going 0-36 probably wouldnt drop you much since it used unranked to seed you the first time
What's the most amount of deaths you've ever seen someone rack up in a game?Post results.
>>49950558222 by grey talon
>>499504394The point was that silence won't disable item usage so any item counter works until wraith buys curse which DOES disable both abilities and items
normal game kino keeps on givingi won this match after lash abandoned becaue the enemy paradox instantly left
>>499505760Who gives a fuck? By that point the game is over anyways, anyone using curse on you then ulting is gonna be pretty annoying
>>49950558219
>>499505998>Who gives a fuck?The retard saying she's OP. That's my point tho. Wraith needs TWO tier 4 abilities to make her ult uncounterable
First zero death game I've ever seen. Matchmaking is not working right now.
>>499506162you've never played a good wraith and it shows
>>499506217You're in wood mmr
>>499506635whatever you say man
>3-0 in unrankedAIIIEEEE my ranked forced fiddy is going to hit hard
Just fed as Pocket 0/5 in a lane against Shiv and Seven. Thank god their Geist permanently disconnected, I left out of shame.
So if ranked placement games are based on your hidden unranked MMR, doesn't that mean that future rankings are also based on your unranked MMR?
>>499506937i dont think soI think that once everyone's rank is initially placed, it wont be influenced by your base MMR in normalsI could be wrong though. However, its unlikely that your normal MMR and ranked MMR will grow too wide, given that both would most likely grow/shrink accordingly to your performance
>>499461150https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q02_5llVd6k
>>499507072>However, its unlikely that your normal MMR and ranked MMR will grow too wide, given that both would most likely grow/shrink accordingly to your performanceThat's why I asked, because now that unranked "doesn't matter" I am just going to play unserious builds and heroes that I have no hours on
