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.

gg. Abrams kind of turned the game around. Me and the Seven just weren't on the same page during laning phase so I got mad at him.

Also everyone was talking about TA assassin in the threads but the guy was legit fucking shit no idea what people are talking about. The only decent player on their team was the Mina and they were just hard carried by how fucking broken she is right now.
>>
>>540746627
Anyone got this art without the black bars?

Also what's with dumbasses online acting like Vindicta is easy and saying she doesn't require better aim than most other characters?

>>540747432
They're trying to gaslight you.
Before the nerfs Vindicta was actually a hero you could be retarded on because you could make her stake so big it covered entire lanes and had like a 3 second duration. So then you got echo shard and your entire character was just being GoodDynamo.

Now though she actually requires some thought to play.

this game is 100% predetermined by matchmaking. If you get put in a shit lane you lose. If you get put on unbalanced teams you lose. There's no "comeback" because the game decides if you're going to win or lose from the moment the lobby is setup

Vindicta is shit. Kit nerfed to shit, endless cooldowns, hardest skillshot that only really damages people already dying, gun doesn't hit hard enough to be slow nor fast enough to make a good gun build.

The problem with Deadlock is that all the people who make videos for it, aka where most people get their builds from, title their stupid videos like THIS HERO IS BROKEN!!!!!! and thus retards end up believing X hero is overpowered (cause they are shit and get stomped by anything)

Her 4 is still pretty strong if you're in the position to pick up the second extra charge item early on. The cycle time is what really kills it, but with that item you can dump two shots in quick succession. It's also pretty good for taking objectives since the bonus damage % health threshold works for them as well.

The cycle time between shots shouldn't exist. Like yeah there should be a ~1 second delay but the timing with RR is just absurd and feels bad. The fact that you actually have to buy an item to make the hero not feel like shit is just wrong IMO.

I have friends that are not assholes, generally speaking, but would make the choice to not attack the enemy nexus and nexus turrets in League just so they could prolong the game and keep beating an already beaten enemy. If the minions killed the nexus then so be it, but why shoot the nexus when you can just farm the other players while they're walking out of spawn (or even in the spawn, it possible)?

Maybe they haven't added one because bitchy players like you would start mashing it the moment the game gets hard.

I can see it now:
Mentally unstable nigger dies twice in lane, loses the first teamfight, and start mashing surrender. Then, when his teammates don't give up because they're not fucking faggots like he is, he starts throwing a weapons-grade temper tantrum that lasts until the end of the game.

There's nothing serious or fun if lanes go 0/6, serene always hard feeds but he got a lane of 2 mouth breathers so he snowballs into having massive impact.
There's quite literally no opportunity to play the game, it ended in 22 minutes, it's so snowbally that you do not have the damage or souls to stop anything the enemy team tries to do, you're rewarded so much for winning lane that even a bad player can carry a game if he gets fed and and rolls his face on the keyboard.

I suck with his cart (especially out of ult) and don't know how to reliably place doors nor what their range actually is (both the range from door to door and the range to be able to place them), so I often die from faffing about trying to place them to escape.

I'm learning to play Drifter and I'm wondering what you're suppose to do against lane opponents who play ultra safe? Always pulled back to their half of the lane, buying monster rounds, etc. Feels like if I try to 2 them I'll take way too much damage from lane creeps and guardian.

AI is actually great at parsing aggregate information, if you run reports gameboard stats over gametime by determination, skill level, hero, you'll find good meaningful data that an AI can give you summaries on.

Not to mention, tough luck ever killing him if youre playing a hero that needs to go close range.
If you get even within a whiff of his general viscinity, be prepared to eat three carts and an ultimate if he feels *reaaally* threatened.
It's basically impossible to kill him unless you have a ranged comp.
Cool concept, terrible execution.
Needs a massive rework. Like... make his doors work like paradox ult when if you get sent through them (not walk, carted or other knockback ability) you take damage, and get stunned but don't get stunned by cart to walls, it deals no damage and they add an option to remove that fucking bell sound every time you get hit. It rapes my ears and actually disorients you irl.
I want to like doorman but right now he's just too fucking cringe.

No it only stuns after they take the initial damage from the baroness. So once they are out they are stunned again, or doorman can recast his ult on you and you get stunned in the ult, then again if you even manage to make it out after a second go.

headshots also fuck him up if you are playing gun.
after he clears the debuffs you can also apply them again trough items or passives.

inhibitor if you shoot fast enough to just instantly reapply it.
probably the single item that fucks victor more than anything, equally fucks the rest of his team too so it's not a bad item in general.

Generally, how am I supposed to know if a build is crappy or not? There's so many factor between my items, their items, buffs, powerups, invisible passives, and a bunch of other shit that makes it feel random how much damage I both give to and receive from any given enemy. The RPG elements of this game are so annoying
And why is there no way to rate builds in the browser? How does it even determine popularity? at least attach a winrate?

it genuinely just feels bad to play at a 10-15k deficit
most people are too uppity or don't listen in voice if you talk at them
and because you're mostly going to be at the shitter tiers the game will go to 40 anyways so it's just slow torture. you wont get an urn, you wont get sacrifices, you wont get to farm camps
"farm" nigga how about you farm your 20 minutes back doing anything else

as an addendum to this point
you can't do a 'game knowledge' check nearly as well as you can in dota to make game changing flips, the game is too one dimensional in retrospect in every conceivable way
no smokes, no ward metagame, if you're a core you're competing with EVERYONE for camps instead of your exclusive right, i could go on and on and on and on
these are things that a mek, a glimmer cape, a well timed force staff, hitting a bkb before some big shit hits, i don't know literally anything that doesn't exist in deadlock so why try to pretend like it's the same game flow as dota
it's a small hunch that icefrog is a hack and has been for a couple years now it's just in his game design for people not to 'give up'

>>540796432
have the abilities and guns do more base damage with less scaling

make stuns last longer so that a good teamfight execution means you can actually outplay the enemy team

>>540796491
the game knowledge check is more in the mechanical aspects, the movement (massive part) and aim make it so much less one dimensional than you think. Personally I think thats genius game design. The game could only improve from less moba elements. The 3d aspect with tall buildings replaces fog of war, being able to ping is a good replacement for wards. When you don't have wards you don't need smokes, but you have invis items. You have rescue beam which is like a mek force staff in one. BKB exists in the game and so does a healing mek.

Map needs a resizing and jungles need a rework, because it's too easy to invade enemy jungle to steal and kill the underfarmed players that are trying to come back into the game.

play to numbers, take risks, get a pick, run a comeback urn, if you get 2 picks try and do a mid

a concept that bad players need to understand is that when you are behind you need to be proactive, force favorable fights, if you play scared you give up all objectives and get choked out until a real loss, this is hard in low elo because people are terrified of being the reason they lose the game

Pray that your teammates grow a brain/just had a bad matchup/synergy in their lane and that the enemy fucks up
There's just so many issues with the game right now;

>No solo lane so you're forced to some random person, with no concept of roles/priority until high ascendant so already an issue as soon as the game starts
>Horrible matchmaking and ranked system so you might get a creep as your lane partner
>Lane is very important and if you're not in sync you will get demolished, you both need to know what you're doing and then able to execute it
>Too many little things during that lane without even taking matchups and normal lane into account that you can use to get extra advantages like box roaming in between waves, wave management, wave creep kill order, shooting angles, harassing or csing and splitting this between both, coordinating waves for the person box breaking, camps and camp stealing, etc and you BOTH need to coordinate this or it goes to shit
>lane matchups are make or break, need to swap and coordinate but the game gives you almost no time to do so
>gold and exp are tied to the same resource so early leads are massively impactful, any lead builds an even bigger lead and it keeps snowballing
>The supposed comeback mechanism for this is the urn, but due to the snowballing the winning team can easily completely take over the other teams jungle very early on and since they have a level + item advantage they can be extremely ignorant and get away with murder and bad gameplay just out of sheer stat advantage
>Urn is also very slow to update so a team that's insanely ahead can have the urn on the other side as usual
>Splitpushing and farming are the other comeback mechanisms but they're both hard nerfed and particularly punishing when behind

>And all these comeback mechanisms require coordination and your teammates having neurons...which they'll probably lack if you're already in need of those mechanisms

The secret to victor is to actually build around healing and his 1, if you lower the cooldown of it high enough you effectively have infinite hp in early fights if you can land your hits. Eventually either the game will be won or you'll be fed enough to transition to a more generic aura build.

The devs are going to nerf carry gun Ivy builds next patch. But the issue is that as a "support" she doesn't really do anything besides throw Kudzu and tether onto someone to increase fire rate. That's not very dynamic or fun.
I think they need to just remove the tether and give her a more interesting ability instead. All the other support heroes have more interesting kits in this game.

You're gonna have shitty teammates on every team game, it's bound to happen.
Almost none are as punishing as deadlock right now and they all have several comeback mechanics.
They also don't require so much teamwork to make use of those mechanics.
Then there's the issue of the very widely known horrible matchmaking and ranked system which makes this required coordination way way harder to achieve when you're already losing so the games are even worse.


>bruh unless your idea is to simplify everything into the ground I don't see how a patch would make your teammates smart
This is BECAUSE they simplified things over time which reduced the impact of a single player.
Solo lane gone.
Splitpushing hard nerfed and much harder when behind.
Farming nerfed.
Several mechanics removed.


For example, a few threads ago people mentioned bringing back soul denying for teammates and objectives which would be a decent starting step to fix this mess.

On a game with so much mobility everywhere + many green items being actually offensive items + no wards so you have no idea who's out there making engagements way riskier this is completely relying on the enemy being full of retards.

Reminder that even "PRO GAMES" are ending with 40k-60k soul leads, one team gets ahead at some point and then they completely take over the game and there's very little these teams can do even at the supposed apex of teamwork right now, comebacks are extremely fucking rare.
>>
>>540801483
Geist's 1 and 3 cost her own HP to use. Depending on her skill priority it's actually pretty easy to bait out bombs and then jump her during lane. Of course, you AND your lane partner need to capitalise on it, which makes it sort of hard because people tend to play way too passive during lane (especially if they take even just 1 bad trade). As long as you keep punishing her you'll win lane even if she has her 2 tether on someone (because most Geists are brainlets and keep spamming skills even during tether).

During lane you don't really have enough items to just heal through the skill costs. The HP costs also scale with spirit (more spirit means more HP gets used in her 1 and 3) so until you get Radiant Regen you're losing more HP than you're recovering from your tether (unless you've built up 3? or so stacks of her 3 beforehand, but if you've already reached that point AND you've got an opportunity to tether then you're up against retards and would have won lane anyway).

Always grab Mystic/Radiant Regen regardless of build. The latter will let you recoup the cost of 1 and 3 as long as you hit at least one character. Your gun isn't the strongest, but it's still good enough for gun builds to be viable (especially because her 3 is a "free", stacking resilience debuff and is the crux of making her gun work). HP costs are more important in lane than in post-lane because every second you're not pushing waves or farming creeps is a second you're not making money (and letting your enemies make money instead). Only go all in with your cooldowns during lane if you're certain you can net a kill or force your enemy back to either heal or back off enough to stop making money. Be aggressive with your tethers since it's free heals and most players get spooked by it and try to fuck off to their tower as soon as they see it (meaning you have free reign to secure and deny creeps). Post-lane depends on your build.

I think they should halve the amount of jungle camps and make them mini objectives to fight over, people fucking love jungle but it's just a detriment to actually farm them most of the time imo, they're not good for the game. The new jungle camps should be hard to fight too with stuns and slows that you have to dodge

>the busted flush
good for soul securing on m1, fun alt fire movement tech for sliding and jumping, the alt fire can be used comfortably from speaking distance without worrying about fall off

>daggers
Do zero damage until max'd with accompanying spirit damage items. They deal near negative damage in lane which requires you to land multiple. its easiest to do so when playing footsies with the opponent, waiting for them to expend their stamina first or when they turn their back to you. If you spend all your early points leveling up daggers, you still wont have the items to really make them work. Spirit build daggers are insanely powerful mid to late

>slice and dice
strong escape tool, deals a good amount of damage, very easy to use unlike daggers. If you use it for the damage early you better have a way to kill them because shiv actually folds very quickly in the early game with no survival items and no points in passive - dont believe the propaganda that he is unkillable. When you are full rage this ability will delete half the enemies health bar if they take both ticks

>bloodletting
the above, just make sure you aren't a spazz and use it early. More often than not if you try to force a fight that isnt one sided the end result will be pic related

>Dunk
Just max it asap if your gonna brool. You aren't a real hero until your rage meter is full, buy decay early on and use it on CD to keep it activated. The enemy model flares red when you can execute them but if you have some foresight you can cast the dunk early if you know they will take damage to push them under before you reach, sometimes its even worth it just to use it early as a gap closer if they try to escape.

It just sucks because in the retard elo (I'm a retard) the strategy's success entirely depends on whether your team is smart enough to play defensively while you push or good enough to get picks that enable your push

most of the Minas I'm seeing in ritualist are hard stuck because they are using the ult building abuse to rank and then find themselves in front of a brick wall where it doesn't work anymore

How do I explain to my friend who is a newer player that Haze is not overpowered in the early game and he should stop bitching and crashing out whenever we fight a haze in lane.
>>
>>540814695
The issue is hard committing to that strategy regardless of what your team is doing. Team is brooling? Time to push. Team is farming? Play safe, maybe follow someone around with your ult for a pick.

I can play Deadlock for hours without any issues, is it normal to feel this way when you concentrate hard on aiming, like a muscle you haven't been exercising? Or is this abnormal and I'm doing something retarded that's going to fuck up my hands for life if I continue? My posture is the same as when I play Deadlock

>>
>>540815114
When you first start aim training, you're going to be trying extra hard and will tense up to try and make your movements more accurate. For awhile you'll have to intentionally focus on keeping your arm and wrist relaxed as you aim, because you should not be feeling any tension except for when you're specifically going for flicks. Focus on training tracking and using arm/shoulder movements, you may have to adjust your sensitivity.
>>
>>540814852

when you're new to aimtraining you are constantly tensed up, eventually you will ease into it and learn to apply tension only when necessary, and it'll become less taxing then

there are tutorials and shit on tension management if you continue having problems with it though

>>540823771
A character can be overall weak and still have one really big problem that needs a nerf. I don't think Mina is weak, but even if she was, she needs objective scaling on her ult so her getting in range of an objective by herself isn't an instant loss of that objective. Make her unable to solo mid before anyone on the other team can be alerted to it and then we can talk about buffs, though I don't know what she'd even need besides maybe making her slightly less squisky

Halve Mina ult damage to objectives
Add a cooldown to spirit burn hitting creeps/towers, just like 1 second before it can start building up again, give Mina a third blink charge but increase her ult cooldown by like 6 more seconds.

Fixed everything, you're welcome.
>>
>>540824064
You can take away her walker melt and ALSO give her something else, but I would rather her be shit without redeeming qualities than her be shit but have this one really unhealthy OP aspect to her. It would be like if Dynamo's kinetic pulse had no scaling and became worthless but his ult had 20m range and its duration scaled with spirit. He'd be deadweight except for brief moments where he was pure cancer

ok but what the fuck do I buy for this guy besides decay
>>
Mina is fine as she is, in fact, her 1 could use a buff in range.
>>
>>540824287
It literally depends on what hero you're playing and what items he is buying. If you're a gun hero with decent build up, siphon bullets/toxic bullets help to counteract his bloodletting if you're a spirit hero then decay/spirit burn. Don't tank his 2 and buy debuff remover to get rid of his daggers, and learn to kite him. Don't follow him into small corridors, the veils on the side lanes, etc. he's just gonna press 2 and deal 1k damage to you.

>>540824287
spirit build is escalating + boundless with some spell lifesteal. You can go deeper with spirit burn but it's usually a better idea to buy some disables (slowing hex//knockdown) because no one on your team will ever buy them. I personally prefer torment pulse with trans cooldown in this build but not mandatory. Torment Pulse is actually pretty based because if the enemy is just barely over the threshold to dunk them, the taze will put them under it as you fly at them. Spirit takes a long time to come fully online. Get extra charge early but upgrade it very late, nearly last.

gun build is just normal gun stuff but you never skip burst fire because you can perpetually slide backwards with your alt fire

if you want to build tank because the game gave you all squishies expecting you to be the only front liner, you shouldn't need much advice on how to make that work, just brool and live long enough to have your friends bring the enemy into dunk threshold

Its the movement. The game out of the gate has a huge movement creep problem. In conjuction with the moba game mode, it leads to excessive brooling, deathballing death matches

They could make the map even bigger but that would feel like shit for the new player experience. I think they will probably rework the stam system and give costs to many more actions

On a slightly related note I think a player with good movement could abuse the shit out of mcginnis. Its supposed to be her "weakness" but its not really

Anyone else feel like the matchmaking isn't as horrible as it's made out to be? Outside of initiate 1 at least. I've been seeker for the last month but finally when I got the hang of the game I quickly climbed all the way to ritualist. I dont know how they can solve the "brand new player feeding a lane" problem because there arent going to be 12 brand new people to find a game in a reasonable amount of time. And I've won games where two brand new people were on my side and died like 30 times. Maybe the game is just fucked due to snowballing moba mechanics not working in a shooter and it's not
the matchmaking?

The cooldown is how much stamina you have
>>
>>540796432
structures need more hp, waves need to advance slower, lanes might need to be larger.
>>
>>540817932
My guess is that you are standing too still/moving too predictably and that's why your accuracy is good. You are not dodging and moving weirdly youre just trying to out aim them which lets you get hit by all their spells and bullets
>>
>>540830828
People call MM busted due to heavy amount of initiate players compared to everyone else. I think MM is fine because most people are dogshit at this game.
>>
>>540831261
the problem is that rank decay has no limit, you could have been eternus and put into initiate because you stopped playing for a few months
>>
>>540831261
i don't think you understand how rank distribution theoretically works (in the general sense) on a fundamental level. because putting all those players in one rank makes no sense at all even if you can broadly say that they all are not macro gods who know every item, there is still insane skill differential among that group of players.

on hit champs shouldn't be able to solo both champs and objectives
>>
>>540802402
just put the whole tf2 cast into deadlock minus sniper+spy.
>>
>>540831519
it matches using the hidden MMR value and not the rank icon anyway
>>
>>540816796
haze is honest.
>>
>>540831568
some kind of different take on a "spy" character would be pretty cool. like putting fake icons on the minimap- attach a beacon to a creep and to the enemy it looks like your Wraith is going up to rat your blue walker!!

>>540831651
it still doesn't do a good job at it, of course.
>>
>>540830785
No particular build, this is across every hero. And I always buy greens. All my builds have a slot dedicated to situational resilience, maybe Debuff Remover, and many use Fortitude. I probably just don't know how to dodge.
>>
This retarded game keeps pairing me with the biggest mouthbreathers when trying out new characters and it's infiuriating, can I have ONE(1) game that is at least even so I can figure out how to play this character and not a 40k soul difference stomp?
>>
>>540826626

/dlg/ approved build

HOLY BASED
>>
>>540832219
play with bots if you have literally never played a character
>>
Dumb fuck retarded russian lobotomite fucking moron teammates why the fuck do non of our carries build antiheal FOR THE FUCKING 15K UP VICTOR HE WAS THE ONLY REASON WE COULDNT WIN.
>>
>>540832140
Do you have a shooter background? I see a lot of people who just stand in the open and dont slice the pie
>>
please teach deadcocks dota's concept of roles
everyone building like they're the main character and bringing no utility is driving me insane
>>
Leech or Infuser on Victor?
>>540834062
>see like 2:6 ratio of support:damage Paige's.
>>
>>540834062
deadlock doesn't really have "support", "jungler", "mid", "offlaner", etc. roles though
the resemblance is only superficial
>>
>>540834062
building support as a soloQ will bring only pain and suffering.
>>
>>540834062
t. Guy with no utility
>>
>>540833789
Hardly. My most played shooters are Deep Rock Galactic, Helldivers 2, and Ultrakill.
>>
Echo shard rush on Doorman is the way, your damage falls off somewhat after early game but if you rush echo shard it provides so much utility, double carting someone is essentially a confirmed kill which still leaves you your ult to take someone else out of the fight. You can effectively make every fight a 4v6.
>>
>>540834062
But wouldn't you want 6 carry in game?
That way no matter who died, the fight still goes on.
>>
>>540834707
It’s unfortunate that you basically have to pivot to a disruptive late game despite having such a strong early-mid.
>>
>>540820870
I like her, I just want to know what actually happened in Macomb besides crumb trails that pretty much amount to “ a lotta people died”
>>
>>540835146
6 carries vs 6 carries sounds bland as fuck.
>>
>>540835374
you kinda have to balance him that way because he can straight up remove one character from the teamfight for its entire duration
if hes also capable of carrying by himself than you get something like Doombringer before nerfs
>>
>>540834356
that's why dota's perspective on roles is better than leagues. dota bases it on farm priority
>position 1 = gets all the farm
>position 3 = gets some farm
>position 5 = gets no farm
position 1's job would be to get giga farmed and close out the game with big huge items. 2-3 would be to make plays and get things done in the mid game. 4-5 would support the rest of the team and build to be force multipliers or counter the enemy
deadlock players all scramble around scraping up whatever resources they can or throwing their face into brools on a whim
>>
>>540835574
the reason support doesn't really work in deadlock is due to 2 reasons:
no passive soul income
souls are tied to xp
say, in DOTA2, a support can be basically almost naked and still have some impact, along with babysitting the carry early game, granting vision, etc.
none of those things exist in deadlock
a naked Paige is just going to get 1shot by the 60k Haze before she can even get a single cast off
>>
How is gun doorman? Or a late game gun pivot from spirit?
>>
ricochet mina - meme or good?
>>
>>540835796
with how much cc they provide that’s fair
They should be oneshot unironically
>>
>>540835995
funnily enough, most of the CC in the game is in a hardcarry's kit
>>
An ARAM mode would really help people learn the game and try out heroes without griefing a 30 minute match in initiate.
>>
>>540836826
bots but yeah I get peoples ego prevents them from doing them.
>>
>>540835796
there are save items, disables, and trophy hunter. alongside cheap survival items like reactive barrier and the shielding items, there's space itemization wise for supports
the main reason supports don't exist is that there isn't anything for supports to do. pretty much the only plays to make other than farm is take fights. because there's no wards or fog of war, map control isn't a thing in the same way it's a thing in traditional mobas. you can invade their jungle and hunt people farming, but then what? your only option is to brool down a lane
the closest thing we get to team strategy is 2 people afk farm while everyone else brools, or everyone afk farms and 1 person split pushes. even then that's not common. most teams are 6 apes stealing off each other's plate and then going ballistic on the lost toddler who wandered down their lane and fell into their enclosure
>>
>>540836946
I feel bots don’t help much because you don’t really learn anything besides what your four abilities do
They should add harder bots
>>
>>540836946
bots dont teach you shit and it's boring
>>
>>540824064

>muh winrates

Have you considered applying for a job at Gaijin?

Go play War Thunder for any extended period of time then try to come back here and tell everyone with a straight face that balancing based off winrates is good for a game.
>>
>>540837172
kind of just paraphrasing what I said but yes Deadlock only resembles ASSFAGGOTS on a surface level, it's a quite different game in reality
>>
>>540835908
I saw it once and it seemed really OP. Like it seemed like it'd need a hotfix nerf if the community caught on, he was running around onetapping everyone with MB1 and didn't even have bell leveled all game.

I'll have to go back and get his build, it was just the one incident though
>>
>>540837413
deadlock is fun as fuck but I do wish it had more strategic depth
>>
sinner machine sounds like me jacking off

oooooooh oooooooooh OOOOOOOOOOH
>>
Sometimes I feel like I’m playing box to box helping every lane but there’s always one open lane on our side that some backdooring worm on the other team has managed to push hard onto and it makes me wonder what my team is defending
>>
>>540837263
To be fair that's all arams teach you too.

They aren't there to teach you anything, they are there to get you used to how playing the hero 'feels'.

>cd duration
>power spikes on items

>>
>>540838389
and learning the map
>>
>>540833392
at least 2 people on the team need antiheal so it stacks to a significant degree on him, and it needs to be constant such as crippling headshot and healbane, otherwise he debuff removes it
>>
>>540833392
Calling it; Viktor will be a problem child for this game if his kit stays the same for years.
>>
what am I supposed to do when left lane feeds 20 kills before laning phase is over and the two of them managed to be 4/32/4 by the end of the game? How are we meant to win.
