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.

Once he gets a lead he gets pretty crazy, you cant get away from him with the stalker mark + passive movespeed bonus. He has a lot of great items he can build versus everyone too so you cant even itemize against his damage since it's usually hybrid.

>>
>>541400837
I genuinely don't know how to counter him, in one game I built disarming hex but I couldn't even fucking see him in the first place. In fact he kind of ignored me and his team would just 5v1 me whenever he ulted. His ult might be the single most broken aspect of his kit, no wonder they were using Refresher on him in the DNS.

What? This is just untrue. Infernus was nerfed a month ago. Calico was just buffed today after having been nerfed a considerable amount before. Wraith also has a long history of nerfs, going as far as having her ult reworked into an inferior version.

>>541400997
maybe ethereal shift? he kind of sucks if he wastes his first jump without accomplishing anything

he does enough damage with mark/rend that disarming seems bad i'd rather go silence from curse/focus lens/or the spirit sap upgrade

possibly warp stone too so you can disengage or chase him

Okay question. Why don't people play defensive when the enemy has rejuv? I keep seeing people lose games because one jackass decided to run off to the other side of the map to chase one guy, only to get jumped by the whole team.
>>
>>541401932
support Drifter with refresher is unironically the only strategy, along with abusing pre-nerf Mina, that Hydranation could figure out to defeat The Baroness Hotel. Depriving the entire enemy team of vision for a whole 16 seconds is absurdly busted; basically a guaranteed teamfight win, and devs probably didn't take Refresher into account when designing it.

I genuinely think they're going to rework his ult, it's so stupidly strong. It doesn't feel strong when you're using it, but when you're playing something like Doorman where his ult just entirely removes your from the fight for its duration it feels insane. Especially in competitive play like you mentioned.

I refuse to play him now, but Victor is completely fucking dead after the latest patch, right?

If the enemy buys spirit resilience, then they literally take less damage from aura of suffering than victor does now, meaning if they shoot him at the same time then they will win that fight EVERY SINGLE TIME

What the actual fuck were Valve thinking? They gave him a "Do not ever press this ability" button, he is a character with 3/4 abilities, and the 3 that he has aren't even good:
ultimate takes too long to activate and has such a small AoE that enemies need to be LITERALLY RETARDED to get hit by it
his 2 heals you.....at the cost of self-damage, and this heal is only *ok*, it takes too much spirit investement to not be mediocre as fuck
his 1 does OK damage with spirit investment, but you have to damage yourself to even make it available for use, meaning you are spending HP and cooldowns to even make one of your abilities ABLE TO BE USED AT ALL

The character might as well be removed at this point, they trashed him so fucking hard that picking him is trolling your own team

Midboss needs to be hard nerfed. Just one rejuv and some buffs to the whole team.
The urn is a nice objective, but I think often people are too lazy to deliver it. You have to walk all the way across the map at least once.
What do you guys think about introducing mega-creeps once the shrines are destroyed? To make up for the weaker midboss, destroying both shrines should be more rewarding.

Ever since the "matchmaking updates to include more considerations for a balanced roster beyond only frontliners", I've lost almost every single game I've played and the enemy almost always had an Infernus and Grey Talon. I dropped out of Ritualist to Alchemist. Good update, I'm enjoying.

>What do you guys think about introducing mega-creeps once the shrines are destroyed? To make up for the weaker midboss, destroying both shrines should be more rewarding.
While it would be nice to have a reward other than the zipline being faster, i feel like mega creeps would contribute heavily towards making games feel snowbally. It already feels somewhat viable to rat the shrines and due to how small the map is it's very suffocating to play from behind when you no longer have walkers, since the enemy team is easily able to rotate to 6v1 your shit if you attempt to fight back their splitpushing.
I'm hoping for jungle buffs myself, to be honest

Drifterchads, what build are you rocking? I'm finding a lot of success in shitlow with something heavily gun focused. Usually going headshot booster > backstabber > active reload > fortitude, then either burst focused items so i can brool right away (cold burst, spirit siphon, headhunter, burst fire) or a 6.4ker if it's gonna be a long one (glass cannon, most of the time) followed by fire rate, vampiric burst > survival stuff. Sometimes followed by lucky shot but i usually go curse or artic blast to make sure i can kill the fucking mina on the other team. It feels great.

Weirdly enough I see casual chat and dumb memes in every single Deadlock match I play, it's jarring after thousands of hours of Dota where most people are completely silent.
You can't even blame it on slavs because it's EU East in both games, they're majority Russians in both, yet Deadlock feels more lively despite being harder to type in.

are you... are you trying to imply that no noob gets mad at losing? and that all competitive players get mad at losing? that's ridiculous. and by trying to assert this, you are absolving yourself of the responsibility you have when you get mad at losing. mental toughness is a skill one must work on, no one is born with it.

the issue with a casual/ranked split is that once you've established that, you've set people against one another in attitude. there's like hardline casual people that get boosted and then more competitive types.

once you segregate them you can't go back. the casuals feel reassured that "it's just a game bro" and don't care about ruining games. whereas the competitive types want people to actually try.

when you give people a choice, it at least allows culture and etiquette to develop in an unranked and ranked setting.

when there was no choice to begin with, nobody could say any different. but now that you've merged the two into a regular queue, it doesn't matter that you have a rank attached, you're now playing with people who don't care about the etiquette and commitment. so it's a point of frustration to be forced to play with those types of players.

did you know rainbow six siege literally had to change their 'casual' queue to 'unranked' because it was driving a mentality that it was okay to grief? people are that malleable.

reminder that valve are so easily manipulated into nerfs like this that all it takes is for ivy to explore a new playstyle, win a couple games on some stream, have some retard like metro cry about it and play it up for content by putting out fake outrage to 'excite' his audience. and then bam she's just nerfed that week guaranteed. I hate streaming niggers so much they're all fucking trash at the game and constantly crying about balance and what's disgusting is they're listened to more over the guy who actually lays out the 'why' in a forum post.

I think my favourite bit is how they pancaked her AOE so it doesn't apply damage vertically and didn't apply this to anyone else. how they gave ivy an exclusive 50% objective damage reduction on her kudzu and left everyone else without this rulke for nearly a year. how they raped the scaling by like 40% already. and they're still finding excuses to pick apart 5 dps here 5 dps there while building extra stam/enchanter's barrier is enough to completely rape her damage. gee golly I can't wait to build 30k of spirit items to get good damage and watch as it gets countered by a 3k resistance item!!

Thing is I dont care about mistakes I care about people refusing to play the game. They play for KDA as we slowly lose. That's not a mistake they're just pussies or intentionally waiting for the game to end instead of taking risks and playing to win. The haze that never joins any fights to flame his team when he has pretty numbers at the end but he only got worthless kills after they get urn/boss/walkers all game

Feeding in lane is whatever, taking bad fights is whatever.
>>
>>541414762
Someone having a bad match =/= Deliberate griefing
And losing is not a punishment. The whole idea is that you aren't taking losses as an affront, you're not sulking because you lost, and you don't assign such emotion to losing. You just roll with what you get and go again.

>>541415639

That's what I'm saying. They do play passive and avoid all our fights they could have helped at any point. We let them farm, no problem. But eventually you need to put that farm to use but they dont they just ult the person clearing waves a few times and think they contributed.

monster rounds on ivy and minimise face time with either of them. mina only really applies her passive well up close so treat her like a shotgun character. haze on the other hand can stack very easily from afar. basically your ults are better and can very easily lead to kills so you need to play safe until then. if you *really* struggle you could take a weapon shielding which would give you a barrier to counter out the bursts on her passive. but you're honestly probably better off just building guardian wards and using them on eachother every wave.

I don't even think it's aim, just a lack of macro and piss-poor farm patterns.

Matchmaking fundamentally is a sorting algorithm for player skill so its efficacy is determined by the share of close matches. Its a little more nuanced then that because you can brute force close mat hes with comeback mechanics which is not ideal because it reduces the game to a coinflip but that's the gist

I just don't think it's worth it in lane because people stand behind cover too much to ever max out your marks outside of like really low elo where people stupidly tank your bullets. I think it's better to just get quicksilver reload for damage and then focus on building items that get you more networth so you can then just grab spiritual overflow and run at people and kill them.

>>541423037
Forcing them behind cover is good for tempo, losing lane on mirage is so brutal idk why you wouldnt go for this early powerspike to garuntee it
>>
>>541423279
Because I think forcing them to back off because you whittled them down to 1hp by spamming quicksilver is just better for winning lane. But I dunno you might be right.

Skills should be clearly labeled as Vitality Gun or Mystic and scale with same color items only regardless of skill effects.

When are they gonna make reactive barrier scale with boons instead of spirit?
>>
>>541422303
halves respawn, but if you die while it's on cooldown it doubles it.
it's ghetto buyback but it costs an item slot and you practically instantly lose the game if you dieback.

I think qsr was partially enabled by the old gun build stacking firerate, its a different gameplan now and you dont need to build around firerate as hard but build around the mark pop. There is a scenario where you get too much fire rate and you mag dump faster than you stack.
At base mag size and base firerate it takes 5.8s to mag dump, it might actually be worth to go titanic

there was a pretty cool throne with a guy on it in the files for the amber hand base
whether they'll change the model to match or if it's just decoration is anyone's guess

but they have started working on different trooper models for each team
>>
>>541400720
they are now more character base, which is why the enemy haze is always from higher ranks and the allied Haze is always shit.

i guess the only way to counter it is to play the cancer characters yourself.

>>541424031
I kind of build anti-meta on Mirage so that all doesn't really apply to me, I get stuff like hunter's aura, point blank, weighted shots, heroic aura or whatever depending on the matchup instead of building all damage and fire rate, though I do always get toxic bullets like most mirage builds do. I usually only have kinetic dash and qsr as my fire rate items, at least until I grab spiritual overflow which I've been doing now since the update.

they should change it to a capture point type mechanic so at least a teamfight has to fully resolve and the last people standing get it.

Put up with this for 10 years of playing support in dota and it still drives me fucking insane.
Even worse is when you get solo picked off, and then the rest of your team walks in 1 at a time to die until its a full teamwipe.
Then the team blames you for all their deaths. I'm playing support for fucks sake just let me die alone. Nobody made your stupid asses lemming into the meatgrinder with a numbers disadvantage

imagine, it was this bad 15 fucking years ago. not only have we had 15 more years of staring at screens and being brain-melted by ever-enshittifying social media, but this was BEFORE the massive extreme alt-left revolution of the late 10s and early 20s that has left most of society a barely-functioning husk of troglodytes the likes of which even cavemen would scoff at.

Also you should have to pass a fucking test and get a certificate or something (and be 21+) to review a product online, dammit. Between this and "review bombing" being a constant practice because some 13-year-old 'non-binary' got mad that an awesome product had a character breathe the wrong way that gave them "bad vibes" at one point causing a mass wave of 1/10th "to stand on principle" from a million braindamaged subhumans is not something that should be able to happen, much less to every fucking product these days

Gun Victor seems like an odd case. I like clicking people but even with high firerate and his ult maxed you really don't do that much extra damage.

Spell slinger may have been a mistake, probably just get QSR on battery. And with his 3 changes, even at point blank in group fights you often DON'T want it on because of how much it rapes your own health. If you're taking a lot of fire you need all the health your 2 gives you even without the extra self damage

You need to slide bro, you move so fast on victor that you don't need to worry about ammo management at all. Also spellslinger is for more drawn out fights so I can see why it would feel anemic in a short brawl. I prefer buying spiritual overflow first.

I was in a similar position.
The game has changed a LOT since we played.
I used to be High Ascendant to low Eternus.
I've been playing again for about a month (though only ~5 matches a day on average) and I'll say this: I watched some of my old replays and I'm better than I was back then.
I'm now firmly in Alchemist 5-6, and having fun matches.
The general skill in this game has skyrocketed in the last year.
My advise: ignore rank for now and just have fun.
It's all getting reset before the game opens up anyway, and there will be a FLOOD of newbs when they do.

Jungle deserves buffing only if they delete seven from the game.

That's usually balanced in dota by having carries being really dogshit early, the items being expensive, being really immobile or squishy or a combination of all these that was obtained from decades of knowledge and testing.

For some reason carries here have either good or amazing early games here with mobility and tankiness so there's absolutely no trade of, they're literally always good, you don't lose or risk anything by picking them and they have very little downsides besides whos the best one of the current patch.

There are so many combinations of visual effects paired with projectile speeds, patterns, delays, size etc, that you could make unlimited ultimates without any of them having CC. All the need to make is stuff that deals damage and looks and sounds cool, it's not that hard.
>>
>>541450649
You've played too many games, and the "stability" code has kicked in.
The number of games required to rank up is relative to your total number played.
Ranking down, however, is not below Ritualist.
It's easy to test: just make an alt (it's only a smurf if you're Oracle+) and play. I guarantee you'll shoot up in rank FAST.

Valve is literally retarded.
Why do you think over 50% of the active playerbase is Initiate, with a huge % being Initiate 1?
Smurfs play a factor, yes, but the stability system is 90% of the issue. Lots of players quit for extended periods which delays them below Ritualist at which point it's an inevitable spiral down to Initiate 1.
The irony here is that Initiate level matches are actually closer to Eternus in style and execution than everything from Seeker to Ritualist because of it.

I also think stacks shouldve been restriced a long time ago, I know people want to play with their friends and maybe they are scared they will lose players, but I think ultimately they have lost more players overall due to the impact of wide skill discrepancies in stacks and then trying to find an even match for solo queuers, it has sabotaged what ranks mean when shroud can disappear for a year and stack with eternus players that want clout, its time to disable anything more than 2, restrict stacks to playing against each other, or restrict the range of ranks allowed to queue together, something must change

Ritualist is the top 20%. Even if you assume the deadlock population has a distribution that follows the IQ scale, that puts you at 115 IQ.

However this is a dedicated niche playerbase that has been playing the game a long time so the IQ required for ritualist is likely higher. Probably 120+

That's what my retardproof (read: aimlet) build is made for. It barely requires aiming and allows you to build steady pressure on the enemy team. All it requires is some positioning and map awareness.

The lack of bullet damage on the build makes it harder for you to carry but you aren't high skill enough to carry anyway. What it does is tip the scales in your favor and improve your winrate with a consistent strat that works into ritualist.

No I'm not telling.

If I died I would want the soulbag to go to someone on my team.

Yes. 2 is ignored unless you can 100% secure a kill or need to escape by hooking to a creep or something. You just whittle them down with 1 slashes and then when they're low enough engage with 2+3+4+1+2+3+items

* Victor: Pain Battery T3 heal reduced from 20% to 18%

* Victor: Aura of Suffering self damage can no longer be reduced by spirit resistance (same as Jumpstart)

* Victor: Aura of Suffering self damage reduced from 85% to 80%

They also buffed spirit resilience which was already strong as fuck

* Spirit Resilience: Spirit Resistance increased from 25% to 30%

While also hard buffing weapon damage/items but also nerfing other spirit items.
Spirit in general got destroyed and Victor was beaten up and left to die on an alley.

How is she impossible to contest exactly?

In a game with midboss defining characters like infernus, abrams, dynamo and kelvin how's a bkb somehow more dangerous that all this?


>>541466017
Parry has a cooldown, she literally cannot perma parry it.
You can also just kill her or silence her before she uses ult.
It also does nothing but delay it if she's just parrying.

That scenario is literally just a worse kelvin ult and the exact same result can be achieved by any hero purchasing unstoppable, it's actually baffling that this one thing is what's tickling you so much.

It's still not permanently active, the yamato has to basically play it absolutely perfectly and you have to fuck up and not kill her.
And again this can be achieved by any hero with unstoppable.


Kelvin can achieve the same result but better with ult while not needing any parry shenanigans
>>
>>541466719
the funny thing is now that rejuv is split into 3 yamato is even less of an issue compared to those alternatives
>>
>>541466719

No it can't, because unstoppable doesn't give you enough bullet and spirit resist to ignore anyone shooting you
Kelvin is also a nigger character so it's irrelevant.

If a yamato literally standing still and spamming parry is tanking 4-6 people shooting at her then you have bigger fucking issues.

Midboss needs a complete rework.
Growth over-time doesn't make people focus midboss as much as urn deliveries.
Make it so it grows stronger after every kill with a fixed respawn timer, giving bigger buffs and more rejuv charges every time up to 6.
It also sucks that he doesn't even have any voicelines.

I think pretty much all of us playing so we decayed to the shadow realm.
I played a couple matches every now and then but since there was a month or two in between the rank kept getting lower and lower so the match quality was atrocious every single time and gave me plenty of reasons to not want to play again.
Ranking up takes forever and you have to do it from fucking initiate given enough time so any returning player has little incentive to take the game seriously again, it has taken me ages to rank up just to emissary as for some reason I need a ton of wins to rank up but 1-2 losses are an instant derank, the ranked system is genuine garbage.

every single game i pick victor i feel like im doing super well but by the end im barely above most of my teammates. my damage is never bad but comparatively i just run around lazily farming on haze and infernus and end the game with 50k+ minimum despite not really trying.

Wraith, Seven, Victor are lane creeps in the early and early mid game.

her supportive kit does nothing to compensate for her lack of damage. you need damage in this game. the hero requires a lot of communication to make use of the shields. she just attracts low impact passive players with bad aim.

That small period when we had ranked queue with zero stackfaggotry was some of the best Deadlock I've ever played.

You have to max it for AoE. It only petrifies on direct hit.

>glitched through the roof of the training room
This game fucking needs custom maps so bad. When you're above the training room the wood beams in the ceilings are entirely visible so it looks like you're up in the rafters, and when I saw it I just knew that you can spend 2000 hours just playing stupid custom maps just like in all other source games. Imagine a map that's just a huge bell tower or something and you take fall damage from falling too far, the movement in this game is so good and the ability/item gameplay can be turned into anything like a wc3 custom map. On top of that the universe is just amazing and we DESERVE to see more of it.

You can make custom maps already, go ahead
