Post your Steam profile and ask. You need to accept a friend request to be invited, so don't be a sperg.

>How do I git gud?
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.

I don't see people pick him anymore.

>>539172932
He needs a lot of farm to be good. If you have a team that can hold their own while you farm then he's good. But if you're team is retarded he sucks.
>>
>>539172932
I think he's just ok. If the enemy team is very immobile he can shit on them, assuming they don't just CC him to death.
If the enemy team isn't immobile, or can CC, or can just aim, he gets shredded too quickly without dealing enough damage.

Only time I've seen him do well against good players is diving on them after major cooldowns have been blown and stink-auraing them to death at 500 mph

I wanna balance out doorman's gun and spirit so that I can split push since his door and ult are 2 insane get out of jail free cards. Also I want a good gun for endgame since bells and carts get too weak to take into late game. Feels like a discount pocket even though pocket also gets a better gun. What should I buy?

Increasingly long punishments and low priority queue. Just play the match.
Probably if you do it enough times.

I see the way these pro players move and I know without a doubt I will never EVER be able to move on that level. I simply do not have the mechanical skill required to do so.
>>
>>539174452
There was some failed TPSMOBA that had this mechanic, where your patron/nexus/ancient was a giant monster, and you had to protect it so it could kill the enemy team's giant monster.
IIRC it made games really snowbally, like >>539174790 said.
>>
>>539175324
it relies on too much esoteric knowledge of how movement even works in this game, like using crouch to get off the ziplines instead of jump and doing it diagonally to get speed.
this shit is either going to get patched out or they'll streamline it so doing it makes fucking sense.

not as good as release or even after the first nerf, he is in a spot where you have to farm to be a menace or be completely useless. he also needs very specific items to make him work and his lack of cc hurts him bad

The game still has to figure out your overall skill and the skill of the heroes in your queue, but theoretically it should be faster.

If the game stops you from queuing, you got the abandon. If it doesn't, then you're fine and the game ended fast enough.

I'm honestly not a fan of Deathy's builds. He's not a bad communicator and his tips videos are good, but his in-game builds almost always suffer from "here's some laning items you need to get" and then it proceeds to list of 15k souls worth of shit. He's one of the best players in the world, so he can pull money out of his ass to buy this but the average player is really going to lag behind trying to follow his buy order, especially when he lists stuff like cultist as like the eighth item you should buy, and then i end up seeing people following his guide and buying it at 20 minutes or something

How do you resolve this situation diplomatically? Whenever I say to the guy to farm safely he just gets mad or continues doing them same and then gets mad when he inevitably forces a fight we lose.

>>539187502
sitting under tower and getting poked out isn't fun
>>
>>539187502
transition your build into neutral farming and leave the lane at 4 minutes, let the tower die.
or ape together with him, only a few matchups are truly unwinnable but going into neutral farming is typically better if your teammate is aggressive AND hopelessly bad at the game.
if he's doing good damage and getting people low and you aren't helping him, you're the problem.

Farming safely doesn't mean farming under tower, it means keep the wave a reasonable distance away from it, last hitting and avoid getting damage. I can't concentrate on securing orbs if my teammates keeps trying to brool in lane.

deadlock isn't working as a moba with 3 lanes and 6v6. making the map 3 lanes was objectively terrible.

honestly if they really want to have some forced 50 shit I'd rather they just add like 5 losses to my profile/rank whatever than have to spend a whole 30 minute game getting my shit kicked in. I do not care about winrate at all I just want to have fun, and being put in lobbies I cannot compete in is never going to be fun. I'm a low emissary solo player no I am not going to win against this oracle pre-made team I'd rather you put 100 losses on my record and put me in stupid gay faggot rank than spend another 30 minutes getting stomped. why even have a matchmaking system if this is the shit it makes?

>>539177195
>mirage marks but better
>50s ult that can 100-0 walkers

it's a hero designed from the ground up to just avoid any and all engagement. If you're laning against her, you're spending most of it waiting out love bites. After lane, she has a 100% success rate objective shred that only requires a wave reach the bend of LoS to drop shields. If you try doing anything at all to stop her, she pops her i-frame teleports and flies away. a little fun to play, utter dogshit to fight.

if you wasted 3.2k souls on debuff remover in lane and got away with it you were going to win no matter what you did. debuff remover has a 50 second cooldown. if the infernus/haze was not abysmal dogshit they would just shoot you again after you used it and you'd be fucked. it's a great item, but rushing it in lane is insane

You can boltmaxx, bnuuymaxx or ultmaxx. Don't discount his ult stealing because it is half the CD of the one you stole, if you have a Dynamo on the enemy team you can have your ult before him 100% of the time and win fights.
The character is pretty weak overall, I think one of the worst winrates in the game with Vyper.

I'd rather have someone barely contributing and maybe sometimes helping instead of outright feeding. Having a player leave is better than having them feed it's that fucking bad in this game. If you're able to win in those games instead of losing you must be at least doing something right

Late game on Sinclair depends on how you're building him and who you're playing against. Focus on stealing enemy teamfight ults if you're against any (Lash, Dynamo, Kelvin, etc.) they can singlehandedly win a game for your team. Obviously bunny enemy heroes as well, I think your main focus isn't damage after so long into the game that the enemy has spirit resist items
>>
>>539203769
which is why the 3 lane map is dogshit
>>
>>539205969
but grok i asked for yamato
>>
>>539205856
getting harassed and bullied in lane does nothing unless the enemy can push the guardian, otherwise you're going to be roughly equal on souls anyway.
>>
>>539206024
Oh shit sorry I thought you were the other guy. Late game focus entirely on dealing damage with your spells and focusing their squishy heroes (your ultimate refreshes all of your spells, abuse this for big damage). If someone on the enemy team buys spellbreaker keep a mental note of when it's up or avoid them until last. Late game your job is going to be penetrating their back-line and making it hard for them to do their job, you're going to have a hard time manning up on a similarly farmed Seven, Haze, Wraith etc. If the enemy starts buying silence/curse for you then you'll need to get a counter item like counterspell or debuff remover (makes curse have less duration)

how viable is split pushing anyways? i know the ult does ridiculous damage to objs but i never really know whether it's worth to let it rip on a lane if i'm the only one there. don't objectives have damage resist if you're the only one pushing them?
>go to base when they could be pushing the shit out of literally anything and getting health back with rake
usually if i do this it's because the thing im trying to push is contested and the odds i die trying to get a rake off are super high idk if that's the right play though

fun characters: shit like goatman where you engage with eachother and trade constantly, vie for control of advantageous positioning.
unfun characters: vindicta, greytalon, mina, infernus. characters where it's pointless to engage them in lane because they will disengage you if you can even manage to catch them and hurt you for more than you can hurt them, making the optimal strategy to just not even attempt to look at them.
>>
>>539178032
They can't. Every aspect of this game feels like it was crafted by people that want to make an esport but don't really know anything about competitive games. Every change they make takes us further and further away from Deadlock's potential to be something fun instead of this generic compslop they've settled for.

cancer characters are shit like vindicta and mokrill who you can literally not reach without counter items or very risky diving, or characters that are very slimy and always seem to have enough tools to survive and escape like mina, pocket and mokrill, characters that just CC you out the ass for a long time like dynamo and mokrill
>>
>>539208050
Fuck no, Combo doesn't actually do damage and if you're really playing with retards they're going to just run away instead of confirming the kill. It's the same problem as Dynamo ult except there's almost always 2 or 3 other enemy heroes around who will kill you in response because everyone else bailed on you.

No, because the game itself is not popular at all.

Quick basic guides unironically. Nobody bothers with learning this game because it's too tedious and burdensome. There are infinite tooltips and interactions just like Dota but without Dota's popularity.

>>
>>539213729
The "meta" for content creation right now is just posting clips from streams into youtube unfortunately, so you would have to stream a lot and get good clips to post on youtube/shorts/tiktok to get popular and build an audience.

Which is a shame because then stuff such as montage videos like League or Overwatch had back when they were still kind of new were fun to watch, there are still some Deadlock ones like that don't get me wrong, but it isn't as impactful/popular as just stream clips.

I was thinking just plain simple and funny videos in the style of early star/jerma tf2 videos just messing around and friends having fun or enjoyable solo commentaries, with of course the best parts of 1-2 matches cut into a short sub 10 min video.
I used to enjoy these types of videos the most, and honestly these days I can't think of many who do that type of content and I'm sure many others also liked those. I'm just not sure if that would work today.
Guides are honestly limited and kind of boring and repetitive, and there's only so much you can talk about there, also considering there's plenty of others who already do that.

Same. I don't think they've thought this through at all. You literally have to stop moving or move to a fixed direction when using abilities or items. Abilities (1234) are easier to get used to, but items (ZXCV) feel very clunky to use. Not to mention Q and R are used for melee and reload. Fuck it.

Knockdown can still allow him to deal damage because of the delay and even then, you can barely feel the stun unless 5 niggers gang up on him after the effect takes place. It's not a viable counter for lash, his damage and mobility just nullify it completely in a 1v1 or even a 2v1 situation.

If you go against their whole team alone, no. But if you can catch somebody in your general vicinity before the enemy team can rotate, yes.

You still get both pulled AND stunned in the meantime (that's if you get your timing right) and he still has the other half of his kit to fuck you up or fuck off without any repercussion, unless your whole team is there to gang up on him and they didn't get stunned in the process.

Twomad blew up from doing zoomer Overwatch videos with adhd editing. You have to cater to the low attention span fellas to make it big. If you don't care about making it big then you can just do whatever.

>>539217540
>free wins
anon, i'm not playing holliday, who's still obscene post-nerf :^)
mina can't do shit in large team fights besides poke at falloff distances because she needs to survive to pick off someone solo with her ult - the damage on her ult is too low when split across more than one target, and every decent build doesn't build lifesteal and relies heavily on access to creeps/camps for sustain
bottom line: she dies to people playing the game properly by keeping waves pushed and denying rakes and forcing her into her own jungle to lick her wounds, and by having 2 people in a lane that are close enough to face tank an ult that she's forced to disengage after using and prevents her from staying in a fight
i'm literally telling you how to counter her
>>539203187

>>539233632
By just playing the game? He one of the weakest heroes rn and is only really dominant in pro-play. If you are dying to knives + decay just buy a debuff remover and watch him do no damage. His burst damage is basically melee range and he can't spam it unless leveled it to max and only if your teammates keep trying to chase him into tight spaces. If you buy counterspell, he literally cannot ult you without consent.

Spirit
Get shit like Ethereal Shift, Witchmail, Escalating Exposure, spam Slice and Dice and try to as be as tanky as possible. It's spirit burst meta rn so try to get the appropriate resists. Counter Spell if you can time you parry well and don't forget about the debuff remover.
Gun build is a meme, unless of course you rush Crushing Fists and no one parries you.

They need to start deleting characters, or marking them with 'this character is trash'. Wow, a paige/shiv lane vs infernus and grey talon, how fucking fair. There's no reality this character has any hope of doing fucking anything, it's just a constant piss off, and then the stupid cunts are so far ahead that the underwhelming math is compounded and everyone is a meat sponge.

I feel like sometimes these developers just need a solid bitchslap to the face to stop designing the game to be as rage inducing as possible.

>>
>>539241854
my opinion is that:
seven, haze and infernus are all equally broken right now, no wrong pick, mina is only just okay, anyone saying "she's op broken actually" is probably just a waifutard

support: Ivy is the strongest character from this list but I would probably say she's a carry not a supp. Dynamo is the strongest character who's a supp. Kelvin is strong against bad players, but easy to deal with if you know what to do.

tank: victor is the strongest of these 3

that's just according to me

Mina isn't a carry. She's a spellcasting assassin/skirmisher/teamfighter. You're going to fall off a cliff and do jack shit if you afk farm like a Haze. Your ult only scales off Lovebite procs on heroes so you wanna fight heroes often and if you have ult up you want to force fights or force objectives like a shadow shaman cause her ult does retarded damage against structures
>>
>>539241854
Seven and Infernus are both broken right now. Dynamo is surprisingly bursty despite being a support hero. Ivy is a carry disguised as a support. Victor got nerfed fairly hard but he's still good, but he's not a tank, he's a tanky carry. Abrams and Billy are about the same, except Billy has a much better laning phase.
>>
>>539241550
What would you pick for weapon damage on Shiv over Close quarters/point blank? Especially early on. I feel like the 20% weapon damage can't be beat early since your effective range is always with 15m anyway.
>>
>>539242103
>Or do you mean to just stack firerate debuffs on him
yeah, that's what I do at least. he applies debuffs too easily, removing/reducing his DOT effects is not the way to go in my opinion because he can just hit you once or twice and reapply them. If you cuck his firerate and/or his bullshit dash ability you're much better off
>>
how do i play warden

>>539241193
Unironically your best bets (for an m1 infernus anyways) are disarming hex or phantom strike depending on what hero you are, curse too but that's either not helpful in other ways (like phantom strike) or very expensive (unlike disarming hex). If it's a flame dashing Infernus then silences, knockdown and slowing hex are your best bet

Healing Tempo would only work if you go hard on Gun damage. I've tried it with siphon bullets, mystic regen(back when these items allowed you to proc Healing Tempo by just shooting at people) and weapon items and the damage was still doodoo. Also your 3 doesn't scale in any way with the extra healing.

This was an... interesting match. It started really well with me and Kelvin taking the walker in 5 minutes. But then the game eventually turned into a giant brool, me excluded. Both of their green and yellow walkers got taken down, and then we lost the lead by letting them deliver several urns, which then resulted in our loss. I'm not faultless here, of course, since I don't know how to score kills with Lash.

Seven or Infernus, Seven forces you to position well cause he's ultrafucked if he gets caught, while Infernus lets you be ignorant and get out of fail free with his naruto run+ult stun+healing but he does less damage than Seven. Haze is broken against new players and lowMMRtards but gets worse the better the lobby is.

Dynamo is never bad cause his stomp is easy to land and his heal is good

I wouldn't bother with Victor, after getting nerfed 10000 times Victor is megabroken in shit-tier MMR lobbies but the worst hero in the game against anybody with half a brain, expect a rework. Abrams has more guaranteed value cause of his charge and ult but Billy can actually carry games and he's more of a tanky DPS then a tank tank

No, really. His gun build sucks. If you have to buy some orange items for the shop bonuses go for Backstabber for the ability to chase and the extra rage buildup or mystic shot for the extra spirirt burst.
If you really want to shoot people with him get melee items + berserk, close quarters, heavy bullets and a bunch of green items for counters/resists. It's not a good build, but it would still be better than most other "gun" builds.

>>539243269
I main McGinnis and Paige. If I can give you the tip that started making me win consistently is look for height. Never be directly in lane. Always either take height or be at an off angle, buy the stamina upgrades to give you escape options and keep you on rooftops. Drop your turrets, buff them with your heals from a distance and let your enemies struggle with them. Once you max out your healing ability you can confidently 1v1 anyone that tries to flank you with your gun. I say all this because your teammates rarely take advantage of your utilities, so always try to play safe. Also using your ult from a distant rooftop is hell for the enemy team and will force them to waste all their stamina avoiding the chip damage.
>>
>>539241854
mina is not a carry
her gun and health scaling is abysmal
she's an assassin that scales with active fighting

Seven and Infernus are so many leagues above Haze it's not even funny. For one, they have extremely powerful spirit abilities, spirit bullets and AOE/stuns. Infernus even has the best escape tool of the three.
Haze over-relies on gun damage innately, and gun damage is heavily unfavored in the current meta. Infernus can melt 1000hp in 3 seconds from applying afterburn, no headshots required.

Definitely not spirit lifesteal, your spirit damage is bursty and inconsistent and spirit lifesteal will give you little to no value, you will still have to go back to base.
Consider Quicksilver Reload on the flog, it will up your DPS (for spirit and gun) and lane/early healing. Maybe rush a T4 earlier rather than as 13th or 14th item.

unironically this. early in deadlock I would get pissed off and just berate my teammates for dicking around all match but that would just tilt them into abandoning or throwing.

I started gigaclimbing after I just accepted the burden of being team captain and started shotcalling objectives after every teamfight, and if any time my teammates piss me off I just keep it to myself because I know nothing practical would come out of me bitching them out

You can't hate him. He was Yoshi's personal MMR assassin because you have won too many games, he was just doing his job.

Trophy collector wouldn't give that much, if you're farming as efficiently as you think you are you'd still have a lot more souls

I was watching Xera play Haze earlier and he was at like 48k at 30 minutes in still farming tier 3 camps and not joining any fights and ignoring his teammates asking him to help go for objectives and kill people and I just don't understand how that's even fun to do. Like he won the game but only because his teammates were competent, and if he actually contributed more the game could've ended like 10 minutes earlier.

haze and infernus players are notious for doing this shit. they get to 40k and 5 tier 4 items and they still will just sit and farm. Or even worse stop pushing on a clear winning push just to steal enemy jungle.

slowing hex used to be stronger, it didn't kill vindicta, GT, or lash

I have been playing since the closed beta opened and ever since they dethroned the gun meta in like early 2024 I still don't understand why Haze exists in the same game as Infernus.

Its just melee items plus tankbuster. You jump on people with your slam but you also punch them. It's pretty shit, but also funny, so it might be worth trying it.

there's no such thing as "taking farm"
farm on the map is farm that could be held by the enemy, and if she's clearing it and not dropping bags, she's not doing anything wrong
being retarded about soul splitting is far more important, but go to another lane if that's an issue. you got legs, nigga

Facts. If it was "His" farm then he would be there farming it instead of Paige.
>>
>>539250348
Isn't that normal? All my games are usually 40+ minutes
>>
I'm having trouble learning all the items and understanding builds as in altering them according to the game and taking advantage of power spikes and I'm so scared there's something wrong with my brain
>>
>>539250496
Please just take midboss after you win a fight. You either win faster or lose faster. If you keep farming im gonna kill you.
>>
>>539250496
If a game is going longer than 25-30 minutes than something is going horribly wrong. If most of your games are 40+ minutes then you're the problem.
>>
>almost won a 5v6
Huh, kinda cool
>>
>>539250496
It's only normal in low ranks. Higher ranked players finish games faster because they're more efficient in what they do. Low ranked players will still have objectives and first midboss up at 30m. Higher ranks will have ended the game at 27

The problem I have with shiv as a whole is that they're just doing too much with his design
>What if character that had a DoT poke on charges that can stack?
>What if a damage nuke dash that can repeat itself under conditions AND reduces cooldown with each hero hit?
>What if a passive that completely reduces the immediate damage a hero takes by a certain percentage, with the rest of it ticking down over time AND he can clear a percentage of said deferred damage
>What if an ult that targets an enemy and dashes to them, regardless of where they move and if they're behind walls, and executes them under certain health percentages. Oh and did I mention that max level it refreshes the CD any time you use it to kill someone?
>AND FINALLY what IF he also had a meter mechanic that fills by hitting heroes and when it's full he just gets a straight bonus damage to his damage, along with all of his other abilities receiving various buffs
It's just too much. It's very hard to balance a character that has THIS much going on. A lot of this stuff is cool in it's own right but the fact it's all stacked on one character is just absurd and a big problem with shiv is that because of all of these elements building for him is hard, as you have to focus on specific parts of his moveset and by doing so neglect others, which makes them feel useless.

Like if you're going for tank or gun shiv, your knives are practically worthless and dash is just a movement tool and the rage benefits of both mean very little. If you're going spirit shiv than your gun will be nearly worthless and you're unlikely to upgrade bloddletting or ult much until later into the game so your tanky ability is pretty low and you're not gonna have the refresh on your ult.
>>
>>539250649
I was playing with a group last week and after winning a fight with all enemy walkers down I called to push into their base instead of take mid boss and we only got two towers of it before getting pushed out and I'm so worried because of that one call that they don't want to play with me anymore.
>>
>>539250505
Stop thinking. Just use the Valve default builds until you understand why the items are there, which items should not be there, and which items should actually be there. Then you make your own build.

>>
>>539250847
>we only got two towers of it
lol. There is such a thing as trying to end the game too soon. If you wipe the enemy at 20 minutes and their base is still up then go midboss. If you wipe the enemy at 30 minutes and their patron is exposed then go for the win. Don't beat yourself up over one bad call. It happens to everyone.

>>539250989

>>539250980
This is my absolute favorite move on Ivy abd Paige.
The instant my team starts pushing any base guards I go and clear out their entire jungle.

Replace bloodletting with rage. Make it so rage takes a long longer to build up but it provides bonuses without being full, that get stronger the more they build up.
>>
>>539250841
It's honestly better for a hero to have a lot going on because then there is a ton of levers to pull when balancing them. A hero that does 100 things is easier to balance doing this and that there rather then a hero that does like 2 things and becomes useless if you nerf one of those things. The real issue with Shiv is that they're trying to make a highly mobile tanky DPS but that archetype is flawed by design.

>if you're going for tank or gun shiv, your knives are practically worthless
They do no damage but they're still helpful in keeping your rage meter from falling off with it's damage ticks on heroes.

How do you cope with the feeling that you are giving your lane opponent free souls from your turrets. I don't know if im just being autistic about it.
>>
>>539251475
Nah. Shiv is impossible to balance without a rework. He's either going to be too strong or too shit. You can't really flesh his individual mechanics too much without making him too strong.
>>
>>539251856
i just put them in weird spots that the enemy will be forced to look elsewhere for. If I can clear 2-3 minions and secure their souls without contest, then the turrets have done their job

Better start studying the fundamentals of the game, best farm paths, creating a unbreakable mental, and practicing in aimlabs. But you and every other ADHD coked up on adderall are all trying to do the same fucking thing.
>>
>>539250505
it's not that complicated, ur overthinking it
flying hero or hero that you can disable ultimate with a hardstun: buy knockdown
heroes with movement abilities that can be used to escape: slowing hex
suffering a lot of spirit or weapon damage early: spirit shielding or weapon shielding
heroes with very powerful ultimates: silence wave or curse
suffering a lot of gun or spirit damage early and you can also use gun or spirit buffs: enchanter's emblem or bullet vest

I'm building around dash cooldown and its giving good results actually, Compress Cooldown + Cold Front for engaging with the dash already does a lot of damage when you have your rage up. Having Extra Charge for the knifes to build rage up faster is also pretty good
