Do the tutorial, get a feel for each hero in sandbox mode, explore public item builds, watch replays. Playing a Hero for the first time will put you into a lower rank game*, so don't worry about it too much.

Deadlock's gameplay and fights are so good but I fucking hate Moba slop and multiplayer sweat fest cringe

Is there a GOOD single player game with Deadlock's smoothness??? Preferably an ARPG? Don't say Warframe I specified GOOD.

Thats the thing: you don't melee as him, valve nerfed all HM windows out of usability
>>
>>538531624
What the other anon said, you only HM after a maxed out charge if they don't have resistances, or they waste parry without an ally close by. Focus on shooting them or tanking with siphon life for maximum effectiveness. You can light melee to bait parries but it's more risky

Don't ever melee as any of the designated melee heroes unless your opponent panicked and parried out of custom or they are stunned for long enough (abrams charge into wall)
The melee button fucking sucks right now

>>538532372
it's OK. range is too shitty for a stable laning phase vs medium-long range lane comps so he's easy to counter/kite

You can't counter Seven's insane aura. Also, his second ability is a stun. I like to buy Echo Shard for it.
>>
This game isn't as complex as Dota but it's still pretty complex, compared to Dota though the playerbase is much more clueless. Tempo is abstraction for the players in Deadlock, I even see people leave the lane early on to farm the jungle, like what the fuck?
Also people are araming waaaay too often. It's incredible how much easier taking a sidelane walker is compared to the middle one. That's because people are too scared to leave their team, splitpushing is just so easy in this game. Also taking the middle walker is almost impossible, I wonder at what elo the mid boss becomes an early-mid game objective instead of a very late one. I saw some top ranked players go for the boss in order to break the midlane walker but I can't imagine pulling that off in my Arcanist games
>>
>>538532878
she has a hit and run/kite playstyle. play her the way she's intended or play someone else. again, a competent mina player is near uncatchable. vs good ones I'm thinking of running veil walker + slowing hex just to catch the bitch
>>
>>538532780
Yeah, a shame instead of removing scissors from the melee playstyle they decided to make choosing rock an instant loss so now we are just playing paper scissors

just stop over-extending on vindicta/lash at 40 mins bro it's not hard

Is it the nuclear bombs, the unlimited mobility, the cross-map 600 damage or the hard CC that puts you under her walker?

>>538534454
yep, i'm definitely wrong, that's why they haven't constantly nerfed and changed melee for the past year, it's a great and healthy mechanic!
>>
>>538534590
Don't be a disingenuous faggot, melee WAS very strong, but it has been nerfed into less than uselessness to the point that you are incentivised to never use it unless it's a guaranteed hit on characters that are designed to make heavy use of it, using melee currently is just an instant loss button against any half competent player
>>
>>538534574
you were supposed to melee them
>>
>>538534590
yes it's because shitters and redditors like you whine nonstop instead of just pressing f. getting parried makes you take 30% more damage and that wasn't enough for you so they added rebuttal which reflects melee damage, gives you a damage buff and heals you all while reducing your parry cooldown by half and you retards STILL couldn't press f so they gave up and just nerfed the whole thing to appeal to shitters like you. you are actually bad at the game

>>
>>538532516
it's nearly as effective as a heavy melee when you're in melee distance and has zero getting parried risk associated with it
if you pick up a few gun items you're golden, melee is the PUNISH button if they panic and stun themselves by parrying (two free shots and then a heavy melee)
>>
>>538535474
this is unfortunately true
it's accessible to anybody who has played a shooter before which is more common nowadays than RTS games
but it's also asking for way more because of the movement and aiming requirements at high level
i was eternus when ranked came out but i'm a dota boomer and it's literally impossible to play against the shooter zoomers now that they've learned to play mobas, i simply cannot lane against them
>>
>>538535889

It's the opposite. When you don't have to focus on last hitting there's more room for harassing. Maybe it should come back if they ever rework teams/lanes so there can be a solo lane again but right now there's no real benefit of having the last hitting

I dont really know what you are trying to argue here but
Dota: you need to balance out farming your lane creeps and trading with the enemy heroes. You can pull creeps as in aggro on the enemy to get the creeps closer to your tower, use a camp to deny some creeps and maintain a more favourable lane equilibrium or you can just cut a wave.
Deadlock: You just dont let the enemies deny your souls and then spam leftclick on the heroes
>>
>>538538324
You're the retard here. kinetic dash has no cooldown, it's only limited by how much stamina you have. 40% is extremely extremely good on any M1 character. There is no equivalent for it's price. It helps you melt enemies, it helps you farm and if you're playing a low ammo character like shiv or w/e it's literally more ammo efficient than any item that directly gives you ammo

There's a very noticeable difference in quality between the 4 heroes that released earlier this year in January vs the 6 that released last month. You could say that the January releases were rushed out.

Calico embodies this even more so. You just know that Valve was scrambling at the last minute, said "fuck it" and decided to slap together a nonsensical, painfully generic kit with very little testing. She's a lot closer to the earlier released heroes like Viscous and Shiv, but with none of the charm or soul that carries both of those designs.
>>538538128
Mindlessly mopping for the developers at the sight of actual criticism in the wild is the exact opposite of what the developers want you to do. Just saying.
>>
>>538538551
You also balance out farming and trading in Deadlock because reloading is a thing so if you shoot your opponents too often, you'll run out of bullets when you need to last hit souls. But if you only farm creeps, the reverse will happen and you'll get harassed by your opponents.

Calico makes a lot more sense if you think of her as being designed for league of legends players with the way her abilities work, it's not bad to have a character like that for those players to latch on, and that on itself gives her a unique identity from the rest of the cast which is dota coded which isn't a bad thing either

Firstly, shoving the creep wave only works when you have the tools to do so. Mainly heroes with good waveclear or gun. Otherwise the lane will just get balanced out.
Secondly, if you only focus on pushing one of your opponents would climb the bridge and shoot you from above.
You need to balance pushing and trading.

How do you maximize move speed as Victor? I tried fighting Calico as him, but she just leaves.
>>
Builds and items are unironically more complicated than Dota but a big part of that is that you just have more item slots in general. Dota items are more impactful but that's because you have less slots and that means builds are generally more uniform. Not a lot of room for anything interesting in your builds. It's pretty much solved.
>>
>>538540554
I do nothing but hunt people farming jungle and split push as Drifter

>>
>>538541525
Move speed can only go so far. Calico has dashes built into her kit and cat form gives her a ton of extra move speed.

Instead of giving yourself more speed you need to cut off calicos. Slowing hex is a big one

now, a gun doorman who properly stuns with cart, express shots your head, then bells to slow, then easily hits dmg-boosted headshots as you try to escape or fightback with whatever health you have left, THAT is actually threatening. not spirit bell spam lmao that shit is weak

Nowhere did I say that Viscous was painfully generic. The only comparison I made was that they both had very minimal testing done (same with Shiv). Granted I probably should've said Mirage if I expected people to get confused on that enough to be the first thing they bring up as a rebuttal, but ehh.

I genuinely have no idea where you got this "calico is supposed to be a league design hurr durr" theory from. If it's something you came up with, then congrats I guess. I hope it's wrong, otherwise Valve spent the greater part of a month making a clunkier Kayn ripoff. The dash part of leaping slash doesn't even do damage. That would be sacrilege in league.

Alright I misunderstood you on the viscous part, my bad
I think calico is league coded because her 1 and 2 are low cd spammy abilities and she has an ability rotation (2>1>pewpew>4>1/2) which is reminiscent of league champions instead of the dota approach of the rest of the cast where every ability does its own thing for the most part (they can be chained together too but they rarely flow as well) and cooldowns are considerably higher even with investment.

Doors might be a bit much, since people should have the ability to get into their base for chasing down kills. What about Guardians that are themed after which base they're at, with melee workers with hardhats and sledgehammers and the other side as sorcerers that bonk people with staves?

how do I even start this post... Of course sometimes the enemy heroes can outpush you, this is called losing a lane and this happens because the game is assymetrical with different heroes, its the same stuff with league and dota, not idea why I even have to say this. Why is it losing the lane? Because your guardian will slowly get withered down, the enemy heroes can poke you freely and they get the crates/jars, creating an advantage for themselves.
But compared to league/dota, laning in Deadlock is MUUUUCH easier. Every wave the healing minion heals you for 40 hp iirc and if he doesnt die and you stick close to him he can heal you again, also there is a lot of cover that you can use for peaking. And even then you get to choose from a lot of early items that can help you sustain (+3 hp regen/healing on a gun hit/healing on a melee hit/healing rite). The threat of dying on lane in deadlock is much lower than in dota, not to mention that healing items in dota are consumables while in deadlock they stay with you for the entire laning phase.
I don't really get your point where the enemies will climb on a bridge if you focus on pushing, the minions are fighting around the said bridge so they would have to look down to kill creeps, a time when you can hit them for free. And outside of that, you could just farm under the said bridge and dash back if they come down to you, also there are these invisible zones you should utilize if the matchup allows it.
Compared to the other mobas Deadlock's laning phase is child's play.

Almost forgot to mention, if you got poked really hard you can just hide behind a wall, use your healing rite and you will still get the souls for the creeps that your lane partner is farming.

See it's not as simple as saying "just push lol". Some heroes are good at pushing, but most of the time you'll balance out in the middle. Clearing is not as simple as it seems.
>Every wave the healing minion heals you for 40 hp iirc and if he doesnt die and you stick close to him he can heal you again

>I don't really get your point where the enemies will climb on a bridge if you focus on pushing, the minions are fighting around the said bridge so they would have to look down to kill creeps, a time when you can hit them for free.
You have two opponents. They will switch between farming and poking and if you and your lane partner only focus on farming, one of you will eventually get low enough to risk dying.
>if you got poked really hard you can just hide behind a wall, use your healing rite and you will still get the souls for the creeps that your lane partner is farming.
And when that happens, your partner will be left 1v2. Then he would need to healing rite. Then you'll be left 1v2. Repeat this enough times and you'll lose lane.
Dying used to be easier actually,

Rate my hero concept /dlg/

Jiangshi vampire that removed the bones on her arms to counteract the rigor mortis, so now she has stretchy arms

Gun: Her arms, about 20m range, her arm needs to reach the target and come back before she can shoot again, meaning she naturally has higher firerate at shorter ranges and lower at higher ranges.

1: Yamato slash but it's a punch, deals less damage and doesn't pierce, if it hits a target they are pushed back, if they hit a wall they receive extra damage and are stunned briefly (0,5s), if an airborne enemy is hit against the ground it counts as if hitting a wall

2: Very fast and short dash, receives a big firerate buff for 1 second after using it. Holds charges.

3: Stretches her arm and grabs an enemy dealing slight spirit damage, if it hits an airborne enemy she slams them into the ground stunning them and dealing spirit damage based on how high up the ground they were. If it hits a grounded enemy she pulls herself towards the enemy and does another hit that deals melee damage.

4: Reveals 2 extra arms she attached to herself and her attacks deal a bit of extra spirit damage for the duration. The arms behave like her normal gun effectively doubling her firerate but shoot automatically at enemies within her vision regardless of what she's doing (unless stunned or disarmed). The arms prioritize enemy heroes closer to the center of the crosshair and those she damaged recently.

why does she need a gap closer when she has catform? because catform can't actually be used in fights. it's not yamato rope or pocket teleport, moves that actually close gaps and who are on characters that can actually dump all their cooldowns and nuke you instead of missing because half her grenades flew behind the target with 0 splash and her leap missed because you again landed behind them and she doesn't have a hitbox until she stops moving.

she feels like yamato over a year ago where you would see her 3 sword slash hit someone and it didn't actually register, extremely buggy hitreg on all her shit

80s Cooldown | 4s Duration

Buffs from abilities and items used nearby drop shards that can be picked up and stored into your baton.

Toss your baton forward, granting every ally hit with it a barrier + the buff stored within.

* 150 Barrier (+1.4 x Spirit)

Non-ultimate buffs granted from this effect can still be removed by certain effects.

Tier 1: +2s Duration
Tier 2: -30s Cooldown
Tier 3: +1 Buff stored

Currently, I think the cooldown might be a little low right now. The upgrades will also need some more work, though I am lost on how.

I am so fucking bad at this game it's unreal. I can't aim, I can't farm, I'm last in souls during and after the laning phase every game. It's like nothing from the 20 years of Dota I played carries over at all. I'm not like amazing at Dota or anything but I was at least competent I almost hit 5k MMR at one point when 7k was like the top echelon of players.

>>538548327
>spend 1 ability running around the map to find target

just compare this with drifter, who instead of a shitty cat that turns your character off has a passive that gives him a speed boost AND maphack AND scaling damage on kill to encourage assassinating stay bitches. who has a gap closer instant teleport AND a bleed on the same move, who has a melee ability that helps his wave clear AND gives them a debuff to help assassinate targets AND rewards you for being up close. who has an ult that does something unique instead of being yamato ult 2
>but drifter is bullshit
maybe, but he's also a lot more interesting to play then calico.

that didn't help, but the main problem with mina was she got fucked in lane and people didn't realize building for ult was so good if you use it right
then her lane healing got buffed, her passive needs 1 less shot and also got buffed damage/scaling so she can better survive getting bullied in lane, and her ult has lower cooldown and naturally scales better because you can land her passive way more

Not going to deny the first paragraph, I don't think any of those heroes need an utter overhaul but they could use a few more looks over. The thing is this is true of basically the entire cast besides the new 6. Like there's outliers in heroes like Yamato, and Lash (though I'd make the argument Lash deserves a hard look too because they've clearly decided he isn't allowed to be a gun character but he still has awkward gun-related ability upgrades that are basically useless on him), but for the most part the cast doesn't stack up against the newest offerings.

On the subject of Calico specifically, I thought she had the most interesting kit on her full release out of the 4, and it was an insane improvement over the hero labs version. You want a confusing mish mosh of abilities that don't inform her character or her role, that was it. She was still supposed to be an assassin even then but she had uhhh territory control totems and uhhh displacement ability and uhhh super bad feel one click melee ability and uhhhh objectively inferior stealth ability on an Ult CD. Like fuck it was so awkward.

I like the kit but it reminds me more of viscous than a vampire, you might as well just make it some type of monster at that point. Could also be some type of yoga practitioner but then everybody would think that Valve copied Street Fighter.

Here's an idea for the 2, which seems like the most uninspired part: the hero stretches both arms forward like a Bebop hook, if it lands, you pull yourself and the enemy hero towards each other, when you get close, you will do a somersault in the air and slam the enemy into the ground, slowing them significantly for a few seconds and dealing AEO damage. If aimed at an ally, it just pulls you towards them. Go ahead and post it on the forums, who knows.

Rate my hero idea
Name: Samson Crockett
Lore: A Confederate ghost from the Civil War and self-proclaimed heir of American hero, Davy Crockett. His rest was disturbed after the first maelstrom which brought magic into the world, and has seen that the Yankees have defeated the South, and so he launches a one-man crusade against the North. Should he win he will wish Southern Independence from the patrons.
Gun: A musket called "Dixie's Whistle". It fires one shot at a time, but thanks to being magical it doesn't reload as slow as a regular musket, instead it functions more like a bolt-action.
First Ability: Tennessee Sharpshootin'. A single piercing shot that goes through walls and stuns enemies for .5 seconds if struck in the head.
Second Ability: Georgia Charge. Crockett fixes his bayonet and charges forward. If he catches a hero he will do a leaping lunge and plunge his bayonet into them, dealing massive damage.
Third Ability: Texas Welcome. Fires a spectral barrage of cannons from the sky at the target location, which then creeps forward in a line dealing Spirit damage.
Ultimate ability: Stars and Bars. Raises the flag of Dixie, removing all crowd control effects from Crockett and nearby allies. Any crowd control effects dealt during that time are instead converted to minor Spirit damage to Crockett.
Crockett will have special lines to Infernus, implying that his grand pappy owned Infernus' grand pappy

The idea of a jiangshi vampire was mainly because I want a character that punches stuff as its main way of dealing damage, and the idea of something that usually has a rigid body getting a stretchy one by removing its bones seemed rad. But it could be a dhalsim clone for all I care, I just want to punch
That 2 seems rad, thanks for the idea. I'm gonna tinker with the concept a bit more and then I'll post it on the forums.

I do! The controller scheme is very complex, layered but incredibly good! But I have 3 years of experience with custom settings playing ranked Fortnite. The scheme was made with the Steam Deck in mind so it takes advantage of every feature on my Dualsense, including gyro and trackpad. Anyhow, I reccommend actually lowering your sensitivity and slowly ramping up until you feel comfortable. Each set up is different so your available mouse space can vary, I reccommend having as much space as possible, using your arm for wider movement and your wrists for micro adjustments. Some people use their fingers for subtle drag, but I've never been able to make that work.

I was about to say that the only thing I'm proud of in that webm is my Calico's 2 dodge at 0:21, but then I realized that I was probably too close to her for me to get hit by it anyway.

The stamina thing seems too gimmicky and I don't think it brings much to the character other than having -1 basic ability, which seems like an ability that exist to purposely nerf the character, it isn't a good feel.
The primary needs some range, if drifter didn't have a melee m1 I doubt any hero will, being able to confirm and deny souls is a core part of the game and every hero needs some way to interact with it.

torment pulse is like the opposite of a noob trap
you read and it looks like it's abysmal dogshit but in practice it deals a fuck ton of damage, specially for a T3 item
like, people buy cold front to deal just 100 damage every like 24 seconds and torment pulse by itself deal 120 damage every 5 seconds, it scales ridiculously well combined with transcendent cooldown too
like mid-late game just being close to an enemy for 5 seconds chunks them for 400 damage, and it also has great synergy with EE and any on-spirit debuff
>>
>>538554093
Another underrated aspect is it hits two targets at once, doubling its damage output.
>>
>>538554093
What makes cold front so good is that it's instant damage which helps characters like Lash get closer to an instakill. Torment pulse is not bad though and does better than cold front on specifically close range non-burst characters. The reason torment pulse is for close range characters only whereas cold front works on many more non-close range characters is again, burst damage in a single moment you're close versus needing to stay close to the enemy for a prolonged period of time.

yeah i'm not saying they are the same item but even then torment pulse doesn't need that much time to get the same damage and it can get potentially a fuckton more, that's why i made the comparison since i'm trying to explain its actual power output by comparing it to a simpler to understand item that is more regularly used
heroes that only want to be close for a very short time like mina or lash will obviously want a single-use burst instead of a constant damage dealer
although most builds/heroes that want torment pulse also want cold front

I know I am a shitter but i want to learn how to carry games on my own because I have been losing too much recently and I realized I can't really rely on teammate to cooperate on the shit ranks that I am in. i lost count on how many times I ulted with dyanmo or mo&krill and i have seen the team not follow it up, or someone feed the other team carry before the 10 minute mark.

I played infernus recently and even though I lost i felt like I had way more impact in the match then what I usually do with other characters

works great if your characters is always on peoples faces or at least not in the back like a vindicta so the negative bullet velocity doesn't matter
the stamina recovery does suck tho...

on the match stats scren there's a "view graphs" thing in the bottom middle, click it then go in the graph type (at the top left corner) to damage dealt by type and click in the hero you wanna look at
>>
>>538560419
Bullet Velocity is generally a non-stat, 80% of the heroes have a high enough bullet velocity to not care about that reduction, the time where it is most relevant is in landing stage for soul confirms and you aren't rushing weighted bullets as an in-lane item.

Stamina recovery is similarly sort of a non-stat, either you never cared about it or you were already buying stamina boosting items that counteract that drawback.

So, you get a very respectable chunk of flat +% weapon damage with no conditions attached unlike basically everything other weapon damage t3, and a couple other nice side stats on top.

>>538562048
Deadlock, Valve's third-person MOBA-shooter hybrid, revolves around collecting Souls as your primary resource (similar to gold in other MOBAs). Souls are used to purchase and upgrade items that power up your hero, making farming essential for gaining an edge over opponents. Farming involves killing AI enemies (like lane minions called Troopers), neutral monsters (Creepers in jungle camps), and interacting with map objects. The goal is to maximize Souls while minimizing risks, especially during the early laning phase.Farming efficiency separates good players from great ones—focus on last-hitting (securing the killing blow) to claim Souls, and use melee attacks when safe for automatic collection. After 10 minutes, Souls from Troopers go entirely into a collectible orb, so prioritize securing it in contested areas. Always farm when you can't safely push lanes or join fights.

here's my idea since the game needs a speedster and I'm not giving up (also, I changed his 2 after some feedback here a couple of weeks ago).

ELECTROSWING
>his main gimmick is maintaining high movement speed to buff his abilities through an energy bar
>has low cooldowns but also low damage
>spirit build feels like playing shotgun Scout by going in, casting 1 and running away. Gun build is like playing pistol Scout running circles around enemies doing low damage
>1 casts electricity in an arc in front of you to damage enemies
>2 dashes towards your cursor. You can use it to get close to the enemy or escape. If you collide with an enemy, you will push them away or knock them to the floor if they are airborne. When you jump to stomp them, you propel yourself forward like a Lash 2. If the enemy hits a wall or the floor, they are stunned for 0.8 seconds and are slowed down
>3 gives you a lot of energy for 8 seconds every time you dash, but it'll be all gone after it ends
>4 gives you 4 long and fast dashes that stun and deal damage, if you hit a wall, you will stick to it for a moment

His quantum reloads all ammo, so it's good for team pushing objectives right at the start.

If he upgrades it, it gives 25% fire rate to all team mates teleported.

If he upgrades it to 3, it gives extra ammo ontop of reloading yours.

If you do reload team mate guns be ready for some "wtf Dynamo why you do this cyka blyat" type of retarded responses, especially in mid or pushing Walkers.

Yeah but you need a point of reference if your scoring system is going to be accurate and some third-party was trying to guess it via replays and by assuming that the "pros" were already at highest MMR level. The fact that anons and streamers went crazy about their imaginary scores is embarrassing when there was so much room for error.

you're thinking small, and it's because of that same mentality that the game will never have unique and cool weapons such as a bazooka, grenade launcher, flame throwers, cannons, boomerangs, throwing knives, a bruce lee monk or even just a shotgun that actually feels like one. All you need to do in order to make those characters viable in the laning phase is giving them an alt fire that throws a rock, or channels for one second in order to execute a trooper.

i know the "tf2 = best thing on the whole planet" is a meme at this point.
BUT Deadlock characters dont hit as well as the tf2 cast. they clearly still have some of that Valve touch but idk, maybe because the cast is bigger so they dont get as much of a focus but they just dont hit the same.

Deadlock characters feel like if you stripped the tf2 ones into like 1/5 parts and made a character of that. just more one noted.

I genuinely like most of the characters a lot, and they ARE higher quality than other games. but they are not on the level of like instant classic that will get cult fan followings drawing art and writing stories and making videos for decades to come. for now at least. you know what i mean?

I get what you're saying, my best guess is that Deadlock characters have a bit more nuance to them and thus, a barrier to entry. TF2 characters are fewer and easy to understand almost immediately, they tend to be the embodiment of their archetype. Scout is slick and sassy. Heavy is slow, simple and sturdy. Engineer is laid back, chill and handy. They also have the benefit of 15+ years of lore, comics and shorts! If you give people time, Deadlock will grow on them. Expect the Tumblr crowd to obsess with this game like they did with Overwatch.

Hot take. But Blizzard accidentally made the right call to pander to the woke crowd.

the fact that it works with charges but using charges is literally pointless because you can only affect a person once or twice during its duration is some retardation that is difficult to understand
>>
Lol what if for April fool's event they made all the women naked with super detailed sexual features and like instead of using abilities they just fuck you. That would be funny me thinks

>BUT Deadlock characters dont hit as well as the tf2 cast.
Far too early to call that considering TF2 is nearly 2 decades old and DL isn't even in 1.0. DL also has a much stronger focus on interpersonal relationships which will inherently lead to a lot of fan-art/fan-fiction.
>>
so is stamina mastery just objectively better than kinetic dash and arcane surge all the time?
>>
>>538570685
Whichever anon suggested they just go full Nature’s Prophet and make scarabs march down the lane was onto some shit

>Another update
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>
>>538571115
not objectively no because KD and AS trigger every dashjump with no cooldown, giving them offensive value

stamina mastery is better mobility objectively but it's twice the price with marginal immediate offensive value
>>
>>538569865
VISCOUS RIGHT CLICK BRO?!?!?!
>>
>>538571226
They removed Haze and Seven from the game! Yay!
>>
>>538560419
I don't understand it either. The stamina debuff is straight up psychotic. And only 30% weapon damage for that? And a little bit of spirit and debuff resist I guess, but only 30% weapon damage? Nigga Close Quarters alone gives you 20%
>>
>>538571115
no, retard. Kinetic has flat ammo which means it's disgusting on characters like Abrams, Mina, Pocket, Mirage who % ammo doesn't work that well on.
and arcane Surge is fucking disgusting for the price for shit like Warden ult, Kelvin dome/3, Mo ult, etc etc.
Stamina mastery is unironically worse than both unless you're lash.

Lol what if for April fool's event they made all the men oiled up shirtless and forced them to wrestle each other and got rid of their parry and replaced it with a grapple and got rid of their primary and replaced with with picking up objects around the map to throw at one another and added things like steel chairs to hit each other with. that would be funny me believes

You just got old and lost the excitement and whimsy you used to have. Things """not hitting the same""" is not an argument

>>538569865
Vindicta's gun should have been more like Doorman's but they decided to make a bolt action rifle fire as quickly as an assault rifle for some retarded reason
>>
hello
i stopped playing after 200 hours basically right before they made the game 3 lanes for 2/2/2
did they make any core changes to the overall gameplay loop
if not i might try it out again. i only quit 'cause it was getting stale and I climbed high as fuck with paradox cheesing
>>
>>538573089
>for some retarded reason
because of the retarded ass soul orb mechanic.
just fucking remove the soul orbs and make soul orbs only spawn if you miss the last hit on the minion.
let me have some actual fucking unique weapons.
>>
>>538573373
They changed the item store and lots of itens are different. Also new characters and balance changes have been made
>>
>>538573470
Doorman's gun has 7 shots and it's slow as shit but he can still lane decently well. They should just increase Vindicta's bullet velocity to make it almost hitscan, that'd solve the orb question

and yet it's still just regular gun but slow
we can't ever have a main weapon grenade launcher
or a rocket launcher
or a railgun
or a melee m1
because of this shit ass system that adds nothing to the game.

stop being in death range, infernus is one of the safest M1 carries in the game. you should not be dying with how disgusting flame dash is.
what build are you going? I just don't see how you aren't getting value on Infernus.

I just began playing this game from this new wave of heroes
Question for the year long players:
how would you judge the develpment of the game? is it bretter? is it less fun? is it more engaging, do you like the map changes?
is the game development actually refining the game or is it just a mess?
I'm really curious
>>
>>538574351
you tell me man
>>
>>538575676
YOU CAN DO IT ANON
I BELIEVE IN YOU

>>
Vyper should get CC immunity when sliding instead of resistance.
>>
>>538576275
vyper should get gutted even more
>>
>>538576275
vyper should spread slime when she slides that helps her allies slide further too
>>
>>538576275
vyper should get deleted along with calico
>>
Vyper smells lash's balls while he sleeps and goons.
>>
midboss dies too quick in late game, shit needs a maximum dps it can take
>>
>>538576119
These are good but Ricochet was probably not too good of a buy. You should've upgraded some of your earlier items
>>
>Drifter goes 0/7 before minute 10 and then goes afk
its impressive you easily you can tell who is a dotard in this game
>>
>another state mandated loss where a smurfing billy comes out 18k out of lane while your Mina will promptly go 0/10 by game end
>>
>>538577550
It's impressive just how forgiving this game is to being completely fucked over in lane
>>
>passives that let you do extra damage for absolutely free
why ever have these in the game?

>for absolutely free
they cost time to get
time is souls

Who are the two making out? One of them is Priest but who's the other? And who's the one on the floor in a puddle of blood?

Raven and Trapper, two of the newer Hero Labs heroes

>>538578028
Raven is the one kissing and Trapper is the dead one

no? you can have these abilities at the start of the game
