How can i be the most obnoxious Mo and Krill ever?
I was thinking something like
>both armors, healbane, healing booster
>withering whip, cold front, slowing hex, torment pulse

I figure with a build like that you'd be near unkillable and would make people rage
>>
>>507471681
Both armors + escalating resilience + frenzy then colossus or unstoppable depending if the enemy team got knockdown or not.

It's fine early, but you're better off just shooting them a lot of the time. Seven can't build fire rate but he's very conducive to stacking weapon damage, especially since his two workhorse spells, 1 and 3, both don't benefit a whole lot from spirit until later in the match
So what I end up doing is building for gun and balls early, stacking gun damage and extra charges + fleetfoot
Fire a ball, apply stun, fleetfoot, chase while shooting them in the back, the moment before stun goes off fire another ball, and most characters in the game are dead.
I recommend against melee because Seven doesn't have the highest HP in the world and his giant, stupid head makes point blank fights kinda dicey. Not to mention he has no mobility spell to bail him out

>>507536780
Gonna break your heart here fella but I was kinda making it up on the fly based on some recommendations from other seven players
All the items you see there are basically what you should build, in since order that makes sense; also buy monster rounds to sell later
Don't neglect early Long Range, it's a monstrous item in lane and in general for Seven, and Sharpshooter is even better
Build spirit items that stack stats and take advantage of balls already high base damage rather than buying extra spirit until very late
Max Ball first with one point in stun for CD, then 3, then Stun, then ult
Suppressor is extremely good for early duels
For T4s I was gonna get Leech, then Boundless, then probably Crippling Headshot for efficiency or Frenzy because it's funny
That's all I can think of right now, check back some time tomorrow and I'll have made and posted a proper build

How are you supposed to "play your own game" and not get mad at bad teammates? Bad teammates are a direct cause of your game becoming worse, harder, and less 'playable'. I can't carry every match (I'm not even good enough to do so regardless). I can't fix the mistakes made every 30 seconds by my retard team. I'm less mad at the game ever than I am mad at my teammates. I know I shouldn't let it effect me but honestly it does, because it fucks my game up. I'd honestly rather just quit and go next or not even play at all when my team is doing nothing useful and feeds the hungry hungry hippos all game
>>
>>507549765
>How are you supposed to "play your own game" and not get mad at bad teammates?
it means farm a lot, join brools you know you can win, split push when you can

I mean, I do genuinely have trouble with it. Don't get me wrong man, I'm not saying I'm some ubermensch myself. I'm sure I do some bad plays here and there. But I'm talking teammates who actively, if not 100% purposefully feed the enemy team. Teammates who stand at a tower letting it get destroyed without even trying to kill the minions near it. Teammates who walk to a team fight but literally don't do anything to help and either leave or die. Teammates who win a team fight with the perfect opportunity to do mid or push a lane, but then just rush back to base (not even on the zipline) with near full HP to do... something.

It actually drives me insane

What is Hunter's Aura even used for? Splitpushing?
>>
What causes someone to feed? I actually can not understand it. Like, dying is part of the game, it's inevitable, I understand that. Sometimes you get ganked and there's nothing you can do, I get it. Sometimes you get outplayed, I get it.

But what I don't get is why people CONSTANTLY do the wrong thing. They engage in every fight despite it not being the right thing to do. They 1vX every fight and lose, no matter how many times they lose, they go back for more. They could defend a lane, but they don't. They could help a teammate, but they don't. I mean I just truly do not understand. Do they not have free will? They don't have the free will and brain power necessary to just not run it down lane and die every life? How is it even possible? I can not understand

if you want to help your mental, remember distinctly every single mistake you make, like really shit on yourself for it, and remember theres 5 other people of similar skill compounding mistakes, it softens the blow when a retarded teammate makes a game losing mistake when you remember, oh 2 games ago I got caught in a dumb poisiton and lost the game for my team

beyond that remember that if you stall long enough no game is unwinnable in deadlcok, once death timers become long enough any fight in your base can convert to a mid boss, into a win
>>

Try making a mental shitter bingo sheet of your teammates. If you make a game out of their performance thenaybe it wont be as infuriating.

>>
>>507543928
i think they made tf2 by accident or something rather than consciously good decisions
the biggest reason is that tf2 has classes instead of heroes, and therefore they never add new ones
imagine if over 10 years they added like 50 new classes, the game would suck balls and it wouldn't really let them do any of the fun story comics since they wouldn't be able to focus on the individual characters

>i think they made tf2 by accident or something rather than consciously good decisions
if that were true, they would've fumbled everything after launch from "meet the" videos to "love&war" and that's 5 years of 100% quality memes
same goes for the game updates which didn't start to decline until roughly 2012 and actually nosedived in 2015
there's enough background commentary for tf2's development to prove the statement wrong even on pre-production level
>>
>>507570940
>i think they made tf2 by accident or something rather than consciously good decisions
TF2 is a relatively casual game, it didn't even have matchmaking for the majority of its lifetime. Oh that spy backstabbed you? That's fine, you respawn in another 5 seconds and the spy who stabbed you hasn't gained any power from that.
Grab some new friends and queue up for a Deadlock game nowadays and they're not gonna have a fun time.
>>
>>507576221
>That's fine, you respawn in another 5 seconds and the spy who stabbed you hasn't gained any power from that
ah, yes, that free backstab while you're pushing final point
totally doesn't give the defending team any power

>>507570940
If you meant the game structure, you are very wrong. It is team fortress 2 after all, with team fortress classic and quake team fortress following the same gameplay structure. TF2 is a great game mostly because it rests on the shoulders of the goat that was quake and basically created the arena shooter genre, which would then get spun off to the class based shooters and now the hero shooters.
>>
>>507577718
>the arena shooter genre
first time I'm hearing this term in relation to multiplayer
SP arena shooters were pioneered by serious sam

>TF2 is a great game mostly because it rests on the shoulders of the goat that was quake and basically created the arena shooter genre, which would then get spun off to the class based shooters and now the hero shooters.
But it is very easy to make a bad game based off of this concept, just look at Overwatch.

>>507550201
and the enemy team never has those bad players? what about when someone else who just ALWAYS has bad teammates is on the enemy team? do you both lose due to bad teammates? how does that work? also yeah post your tracklock
>>
>>507578268
Arena shooters were the first wave of multiplayer FPS games where you spawned in random spots of a map and the weapons and pickups were distributed along the map. The first big one was doom, but it really picked up speed with quake (which had the original team fortress mod) and unreal tournament. Nowadays the genre is kind of defunct with only some smaller games such as quake champions, quake 3 and some other smaller games.

Sniper Seven: 184054
It's all coming together.
>>
>>507578451
Yeah, which is why tf2 keeping the original loadouts of TFC was a great choice. The mercs have simple kits with a lot of skill expression, overwatch has more complex kits but they railroad you into a specific way of playing. Deadlock strikes a good middle ground, i think.
>>
>>507580204
they need to not add too many heroes or risk them all becoming le funny one personality trait chungus xd
>>
>>507580567
I think if they just finished all of the ones in herolabs right now and then stopped making new heroes that'd be a pretty good idea. But they'll probably keep making more since that's what moba players want.
>>
>>507580907
yah its unfortunate, moba and hero shooter players are so deranged, i think what deadlock needs is just a huge amount of build variety
>>
The shop should have FUN and INTERESTING items that diversify the kits heroes already have by default, like melee and movement
Stat wanker can wait, do something people can brag about making
>>
>>507552684
Mine is already gone so how is she gonna do that.

>>507581819
I think arcane surge is pretty cool, even if a bit overtuned. It helps setup some cool skill interactions with movement tech. Spellslinger is not really that interesting though.

I tried beam kelvin, it's kind of underwhelming, the range feels WAY shorter on the primary beam, but I will admit that the bounce is cancer

Also Infernus's flame walk has a weirdly tall damage hitbox, enough that I was a good 3/4 of a character model off the ground on ice path and still eating ticks, which is good to know

>>507643850
See that's my thought too. Sure, it feels bad to be this dead, but realistically I don't think we should have ever had the playerbase we got.

With less people, but still a healthy testing base, it can stop kneejerk changes to appease or pander to communities to "Try and keep the game alive", and work on more meaningful overall changes to make sure the design and implementation remains true going forward.

>>507652392
Dunno, I've been enjoying myself sometimes again but I think that's because I'm hovering between Oracle and Phantom, rather than Archon like I was before. Balance is still pretty ass and there's some very cancerous shit in the game currently (hard CC Mo's roaming, Paradox being Paradox, shit like Frenzy still existing as is, greens being too good still, etc) but hopefully they'll fix it up... Dunno

I genuinely think right now the shitlow experience is the worst of the worst it could possibly be, and Valve should really try to fix that for them. Archon was the most miserable elo I've ever been in for any game, and I get the game is bleeding players, but shit like my team being Archon while the enemy team was Oracle or Phantom heavy was just fucking retarded, nevermind all the smurfs.

Only "hope" we have is with the art team I guess, they do decent and I like how the map is starting to come together, otherwise pretty meh. It's a real shame because this game at its core is pretty fucking fun. Devs just seem kind of retarded.

>>507657956
yeah but why does that happen? is valve targeting you specifically? what about when someone else who always gets bad teammates too is on the enemy team? he cant better teammates than you because his teammates always feed. post your tracklock so we can see what we're dealing with

Name one game that has perfect matchmaking, and also remind yourself this is an alpha. Move on.

This is what happens when you make 3 or 4 heroes super powerful and ignore the other 16-17 heroes and make them mediocre and expect people to have fun.

Top 3-4 right now are probably paradox, lash, warden, Yamato. The guy was probably complaining about haze lmao though
>>
Poor little midwit ):
>>
>>507671178
Honestly forgot Paradox existed, she's def more meta than Mo. It's odd how fucking tanky she can be, I don't even get why it makes 0 sense. Vindicta is 100% top right now though, so still a squishy. I think Lash is pretty strong but his ult is countered too easily which is the strongest part of him atm imo.
>>
>>507670573
its 14:55 for white people though
>>
Very few things i hate more than this game
>>
>>507671305
>It's odd how fucking tanky she can be
she can be tanky if shes ahead and so can every other hero. theres nothing inherently tanky about her
>>
>>507671305
Yea, paradox is surprisingly tanky AND have a small hitbox and a dash that is very difficult to hit. I understand that she needs to be somewhat tanky because she swap herself into the enemy team with her ult but God damn, that tankiness combined with her dash and small hitbox is really tough to deal with alone. Vindicta is strong but not really a top "true carry" like Haze, who is the strong true gun carry, but not necessary a top character. Vindicta is like a utility/carry, but a really strong one.
>>
it's genuinely hard to sometimes tell who is actually tanky and who isn't, barriers are so fucking cancer and everybody has them up all the time. at least veil walker got nerfed though
>>
>>507671595
Her HP scaling is high
>>
>>507671305
>>507671617
SHE ISNT TANKY WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
what are your definitions of tanky because she definitely isnt tanky by the my definition
>completely average base hp
>no natural resists
>no tank passive
>no bullet evasion gimmick
>natural lifesteal but only on ult
where is the tankiness
>>
>>507671595
>>507671630
Paradox has 550 hp with +40 per boon growth
In comparison, haze has 500+27 and vindicta has 525+20
Most tanky characters has around +40 per boon growth. Paradox is tanky because she has tank tier HP growth but small ass hurt box, small head, and very evasive dash. She also has her low CD ult that has 100% life steal well which often heal like half of her hp if she does a complete combo
>>
i miss when paradox was fun and could melee cancel with 3
>>
>>507672154
>Average base HP
Ok but she gets more HP per boon than Abrams
>No bullet evasion gimmick
Uhh her fucking wall?
>Only on ult
>Only
Are we forgetting her ult is up like every 40 seconds
>>
>>507672216
>550 hp with +40 per boon growth
this describes half of the hero roster
https://deadlocked.wiki/Hero_Comparison
shes completely average
>small hurtbox
ivy is tanky because she can just fly away
>>
>>507672443
>Uhh her fucking wall?
by bullet evasion i meant stuff like mirages sand buff after tornado. if were gonna count walls and movement abilities as tankiness then every character is tanky in some way
>>
>>507672637
13/22 characters have lower health growth than her and out of those, all except infernus has equal or lower starting hp.
Paradox has slightly above average tankiness stat BUT having one of the smallest hitbox, smallest head, and a really good dash make her practically fairly tanky on top of top tier defensive ability like wall and her swap lifesteal.
>>
It's kind of weird Paradox has such great HP growth while being a roaming spirit nuker, she really must be one of the dev's pet heroes
>>
>>507671353
yeah but you're brown so why do you care
>>
>>507673364
I think she is simply a fun hero. She is extremely underrated/underused at low level but remain strong at high level despite multiple nerfs so it's a tough character to balance around.
Everytime paradox eat a nerf, low level players just scratch their head because they thought she was a bad character already.
>>
>that one guy that tries to defend by mindlessly poking from behind his twin guardians
>hook him out and they lose the game because now he's dead when his team respawns so they're never at full strength
>>
>>507673783
This is something I see parroted around but I don't really agree with it, like how low are we talking? People play her well in middling lobbies and she can be abused well there, she isn't THAT difficult to play. I guess in really shitlow lobbies maybe she falls off but balancing around those lobbies would be pretty retarded
>>
So many fucking cheaters man
>>
>>507674119
She is considered bad on the left half of the curve, average in the middling lobby like middle archon, then become strong after that. The combo itself isn't THAT difficult to execute but itemization (particularly in actives), teamwork, and understanding of tempo play are bad at lower level so paradox don't do THAT well at low level

The main reason matchmaking is bad is because there's so few players and basically all Eternus and high Ascendant players are constantly team stacking on smurfs. Just look at the American Twitch streamers, none of them ever play on their main account. I've played against Lefaa and his stack of whiners a dozen times now even though that should never happen.
>>
>>507681385
Valve not keeping Lefaa permabanned was such a pussy move.
>>
>>507681506
They should all be permabanned.
>>
Smurfing is such a fucking weak beta move holy shit. Why do retards even watch streamers that do that is beyond me.
>>
>>507681385
I'm Archon 4 and played against them 3 times yesterday.
>>
How the fuck are you supposed to get 100 bomb stacks without just running up to people from minute 1 and spamming bombs?
>>
>>507680217
>I'm glad it's moving forward
Moving forward to zero players
>>
>>507680381
Yes that is LITERALLY what moba match making does
>>
>>507683074
Echo shart
>>
>>507683074
range also affects how far away you can tag people with bombs
>>
so every shiv gets an ego from 1v3ing, causing them to 1v6 pointlessly and throw the game, thus lowering his wr to below 50
>>
>>507690678
My strat to win games with Shiv is actually to just focus on farming the enemy teams jungle, which causes them to try to chase and kill me, which they can't quickly do because I'm Shiv, so I then drag them to my teammates who then help me kill them.

>>507711184
never really tried mobas cause ew rts viewing angle but i like deadlock as an fps tard
>>
>>507711184
I thi k they should experiment with the soul urn more. I dont like that a minor objective is an all-in or give up ordeal, especially when its portrayed as a comeback mechanic.
>>
>>507711859
personally I don't like the comeback mechanic, for one the indoor dropoff is so shitty to play a teamfight in, and secondly it just feels win more for the winning team if they can win a teamfight anyway, and once they win they're immediately positioned to pressure base rather than being grouped midway down yellow
>>
>>507712708
Pressuring walker is actually somewhat difficult and risky. A winning team can lose their lead from one bad walker push attempt. Urn is preferable but at high level, they even attempt mid boss bait/take before pushing a walker while having a lead
>>
>>507710449
i think it needs to be more casual
im tired of every moba type game being this hyper optimized no fun allowed type of thing and while i think deadlock is good now sometimes i wish i could just hop on, play a bit, then hop off instead of having to lock in and tryhard vs the grey talon vindicta lane
maybe like a short 3v3 mode would be nice or a more ongoing round sort of thing
i think theyd be fun despite not being the main gamemode
>>
>>507549765
You can't win every game but there are things you can do to mitigate.
Of someone goes 0/12 in first ten minutes and you can't do that to enemy team it's over but you can do split push or try to sneak urn or experiment or something. It's not like your w/l ratio really matters
I know it sounds trite but srsly it's judt a game bro
>>
>>507579241
They lost popularity because they pivot on pure skill whereas hero shooters have metas where you can win purely based on being unbalanced.

Alternatively a 4v4 TDM mode with prebuilt or custom "builds": 2k souls 3ap initially, 6k 8AP build at 5 min, 15k 18ap at 10 min, and game ends at 15 min. 5 second respawn always. No soul gain, troopers, objectives, just brool.

Dunno I placed Archon 2 when ranked was first a thing then basically only played with friends and never touched ranked until they combined, slowly climbed out of Archon and then climbed Oracle pretty smoothly and now hover between Oracle 6 and Phantom 1, I'd say Oracle feels way easier, my Phantom lobbies seem to have a lot of egotistical faggots that will make stupid plays because they think they are better than they are and people that don't comm. Oracle is actually kinda nice because people seem to want to improve and work together to actually win the game, at least most of the time.

Paradox ult and carbine is pretty forgiving hitbox wise and she seems to attract a lot of fps players so it isn't surprising (I blame MikaelS)

No offense but if you're ritualist you shouldn't be bitching about forced 50s, your fundamentals are likely very shit and if you improved on things you're weak at you'd climb pretty fast.

One of the most annoying parts of this is how the OFFICIAL CONFIRMED unlock requirements were not all correct. For example, Mirage's was to kill 3 players using his 3, not to kill someone with 12 stacks of his 3. It's possible it was changed along the way but wtf

The coping I see from everyone genuinely feels weird, at least here people are pretty realistic but elsewhere it's just snarky retards that shield themselves by brandjerking over muh Valve, putting their fingers in their ears, and saying "alpha playtest" over and over

Can the playercounts rise and will they once real marketing starts? Probably, but if the game were to release as is it'd probably tank back down to similar numbers in a month, there's a lot wrong that needs to be fixed and it seems like the dev team has very poor priorities / no sense of direction

Personally I don't think the collapse of the playerbase is because the game itself is bad, I think it's because gamers are bad.

I genuinely wonder how the game would play if there was more gamemodes like KOTH or payload. i.e paladins but more itemization. Mobas still one of the most frowned upon genres because of so many reasons (mostly that they are oversaturated and dota and league drown them out.) It might still be awkward but who cares.

actual infestation of cheaters at every mmr bracket but everyone will just say its a skill issue if you call them out on it
laundry list of weird ability/item/mechanical interactions like dota with none of the community engagement to catalog it or determine whats a bug or a feature
adding then removing ranked while in an alpha state
having hero labs be a separate queue instead of just adding the characters

like yeah the character personalities and visual designs and worldbuilding are nice but the game itself is insanely frustrating, mechanically intensive, and unbalanced, it needs sweeping changes and none of this +5/-5/urn moved horseshit

It doesn't matter that I didn't do a lot of hero damage
I did a chunk of objective damage, and the hero damage I did do helped debuff for others

You actually thought you had a solid argument here huh

What's yours against it?

>skill based match making shouldn't exist

Pick one and only one. And then kill yourself you faggot.

I'm finally high enough in rank that everyone is a pain in the ass to fight against and I hate it, feels kinda good tho.

And to end off the night I fed too, smurf swapped into my lane and demolished me, held W on me pretty much all game after that, even while I was trying to safe farm

Probably could have played safer though dunno, tried to help my team out a few times and just got focused out should have just kept farming.

Yeah and he was enemy team next game, and our bebop hooked him INTO us three times while he was ulting

He also gets weirdly high headshot percentages

I think ass lock would be better due to the pov

If you are up to the challenge we will need a jiggle mod that jiggles on every m1

I don't know how to deal with this Haze player
I keep him from snowballing in lane, but I can't stop him the rest of the match

He fucks off to farm or picks up a couple of kills in another lane when I call him missing, and it goes to shit from there
>>
>>507806528

Can't do much, looks like mirage was going tard build

Best advice would be rescue beam to save one from ult and withering whip to cuck her dmg temporary

It's so fucking painful, man. I can barely get out of the late-game ults, let alone try and coordinate the retards to not overcommit so she can dive in

I feel like the ranks are fucked. I was in Archon 5 on my tryhard account and now I'm playing in some blue lobbies on my other account and I'm not remotely stomping. I think it's just smurfs and decent players still playing at this point.

Equipment slots need to be cut down by at least 1/4 with more varied item progression trees added so there's at least some choice when making your build outside of "hmm do I go orange or purpe"

TF2 has a criminally underrated and mostly forgotten Arena mode. I can’t quite remember when it was added, but it was pretty early on, somewhere between 2009 and 2011 iirc.
>>
>>507826224

It feels more like playing counter strike
>>
Make the game 12v12 or 4v4v4. If your goal was to make a “MOBA for people who go outside,” I don’t know why you’re employing so many esports trappings from the last ten years in this game.
>>
>>507827536

>12v12

Do you want to see the world explode?? That sounds like it would be unplayable after a few minutes
>>
>>507829521
There’s no good reason why this game shouldn’t be able to work with “that many”players.
>>
>>507830297

Make it 50v50 fuck it
>>
>>507831592
I think we just lit on the new trend genre, BR + MOBA.

I think I need to finally accept I cannot play close range characters because my internet is too good, my punches phase through people constantly and when I get into a punching fight and back off I always get punched from africa on the way out

back to vindicta I go...

Buncha no fun allowed faggots in this game's community

And also chronically delusional people thinking that Deadlock will beat counter strike

>>507831592
Nw had 50v50 and it just devolves to 12fps aoe cc spam

>>507832536
Would unironically work, t1 is blue, t2 is purple, t3 is orange, souls to level abi

It's hilarious seeing redditors cookie-cutter response to the game losing >90% of its playerbase always being "well akschually, it's still in ALPHA, so none of these statistics really matter" when the game's lifespan has nevertheless already begun and people are already fatigued by the core gameplay.
>>
>>507835884
Ill fatigue your core

You should probably stop talking to the chat bot site formerly known as reddit

>>507835654
I had the same feeling as I said it. I think it would have to be more free form, rather than guiding creep lanes you'd be farming only creep camps to try and get strong enough to bring down towers and score, and of course competing over camp spawns, or tower drops is how the PVP emerges. Towers would need to have a "lock-in" mechanic where if a team did enough damage to a tower, the points for dropping it goes to them even if they didn't have last hit.
