>>584718023New characters coming also means more lore, anon. Of course people are going to discuss it when that happens.
wardenchads stay winning. zero interactions means they can't ruin his character
There is people that play this game for money.
why is bitch breathing into the mic like it's ear-licking ASMR
>>584718165Continuing from last thread:>>584712026>>584712026>>584712026/dlg/ voting history check. Register your clear conscience here.
Danny save us......
Her ult is just a giant aoe Paradox wall. Very balanced.
Billy already broke this game's aesthetic and lore, but this new character is just shameful.
>>584718295
redditors using the word "yall" makes my blood boil, I know I'm going to be reading the most retarded opinion ever
Let me just say your art has moved millions Violet, and that's amazing
I regret this immensely, I'm sorry nursebros I should have been with you since the beginning
>didn't get enough votes so Valve made her more boring
>>584717909>>584718083>>584718086>t. bought the propaganda
>>584718165This is some tranny dev's self insert, right? No fucking way this would be added willingly otherwise.
>>584718426IT'S YOUR FAULT, RAPE HIM
the games have been so fucking bad today
how do i rejoin the deadlock server i wanna tell yoshi violet is shit
>>584718478Just like Celeste, yes.
>>584718165its over writing is only gonna get worse its insane how dogshit new cns conversations are compared to older ones
>>584718381Moved millions of my sperm onto her feet
Danny was great but Violet actually makes me worry for the game's futureHarrow better be the best character added to the game with the best voicelines and best writing or it's unironically over
>>584718434No way that is real. What a downgrade
We could've had female Grimstroke instead of this shit. Genuienly, what was Yoshi thinking?
Game genuinely might be unlearnable for the casual employed person (me)I have 1000 hours in this game, and my mind still goes blank every time some teamfight is happening -- I genuinely don't know what the fuck the best play is because I've got that abused dog flinch everytime some teammate scolds me in voice chat for not doing what they tell me toNew update has also made laning phase much more important, but due to genuinely hard to grasp reasons, I feel like I am throwing every game and it feels less clear now than it did before the update
boring as fuck to you but my girlfriend has been going crazy for violet since the voting started and was so happy she gets to play her over the weekend.I think /dlg/ may be failing to grasp that they might not be the target audience for the quirky “normal” painter girl with pretty spells lol.also her kit is just oozing with flavor. The ultimate (visual clarity aside) is stunning, drawing the enemies silhouette with her 3 is super flavorful, and her 1 ability is super cool with the drawing ability - which surely will not get abused to draw out slurs in my games haha
>literally draws a gas chamber as her ult>isn't AustrianWoke writers strike again
>>584718478Every Asian American woman writer does this
WRITE ON THE FORUM AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THE WRITING NOW!!!!!!!!!!!>VIOLET>anachronisms>Lenny shitoptionally>Solomon being a bootleg Morgan Freeman instead of an actual hustler>Baba's voice >Drifter being detoothed>the Mina/Pocket/Fairfax situation>Viscous being turned into a childUNLESS YOU COMPLAIN THEY WILL KEEP MAKING THE SETTING WORSE!!!!
>>584718460>JUST TRUST ME GOYS
The enemy team did not have a good time
Who the fuck is this guy?
>>584718358As a southerner I was taught in school to not use that word when writing because it makes us look like dumb hicks. But then liberal celebs started using it to look down to earth and of course redditors started using it too.
>>584718529The writing didn't get worse. It's just the fact that the new heroes are all quirk chungus with no real direction or motivation, hence there's nothing to talk about. They're in the ritual for funsies, not because they want or need anything or are desperate, so the dialogue can't reflect any of that.
>>584718579people keep whining she's luna snow, but I think her kit is pretty aggro, she's definitely not a passive support although she can wall off shit
>>584718579Her kit is not really that cool outside of being able to draw penises. Her ult is just another gigantic AOE that wins you objective fights. Her voice acting and visual design is atrocious.
>>584718553This is why I main AOE spirit heroes and just throw my shit around.
>>584718295Repostan. Violet is the worst thing they have ever added to this game.
>>584718624viscous was always childish tho
>violet is the only character i'm interested in>kit looks kinda cool>she's a quirk chungus blue hair self insertja pierdoooole

>>584718649Drifter
>>584718460Nigga we're saying it's worse. It isn't suits making them do this, it's their own retardation
Ok but is she strong or weak
no one gives a fuck about lore this is shit that gets played the entire game doing basic actions
>>584718624Bring back Harrow's old face
>>584718703good afternoon sir
She has a cool kit, but it's too bad it's attached to a 2026 liberal arts student.
>>584718750Genuinely midLiteral potential woman kit

>>584718689He was naive and curious about human culture but never acted like a straight up 4 year old
>>584718295I voted 70 times for Harrow. I only played Standard and I only voted for Harrow.
At the very least they could re-record her voice lines, it feels like a downgradecompared from your usual stuff quality wise.No way a pro can fuck up her mic this much.
>>584718662The luna snow accusations have nothing to do with her kit and everything to do with her characterization and interactions
>>584718803zooGAWDS run this general

>>584718553its a skill you have to develop and it heavily depends on the enemy team plus the hero you playtake mo for example, if you see the haze thats 15k ahead with no indomitable or unstoppable, grab that bitch and tell your team to follow up
is this the perfect pocket build?
Not to add to the hate, but her VA's awful. The worst example of extreme breathing to sound good.
violet truly was more e-whore bait, wasn't she?
>>584718854it's just another paige and mina, I don't get the whining. mcginnis doesn't particularly act "time period appropriate" either.
>>584718434What's this from?
>I'm joining [Overwatch] [The Ritual] [VALORANT Protocol] [The Avengers] to prove myself to the world and show my parents they were wrong about me!If anything it's funny how interchangeable her character is. You could drop her into practically any modern hero shooter and she'd fit right in
>>584718165
The writing is bad enough, but the VA is horrendous.
>solomon and deadman danny were the only interesting characters released so faryawn here is hoping harrow is more interesting
I like her kit.I just asked for a character specific mute setting in the forums.For real there are so so so so so many interesting routes they could have taken magical artists and they just went generic 2020s asian american art school chick. Parental issues included. Like holy fuck, no weird magical pigment/scene seeking? No deranged/magically inspired artist? And the fucking bullshit poster monster red herring?? What the fuck is this dogshit valve. Actually legitimately pissed off because it’s their first actual major writing fumble in my eyes. I didn't like all the cast but I didn't consider any of them straight up mistakes like Violet is.
Can Violetfags fucking explain themselves or are they going into hiding and pretending they voted for someone else.
>>584718951worse, asian american ewhore bait
>make an update where the heroes are based on the type of things and people you might at see in NYC>the only interesting one so far is the stupid oversized Rat
This update has been so, so bad for the writing and world of deadlock, I don't even feel like playing this game so much anymore.It's just so lame and gay.
>>584718750Strong
>>584718867DAMN RIGHT
>>584718982whats to explain? they gor what they wanteda character to own the chuds
>>584718916why the fuck does she say that
>>584719012byesee you tomorrow faggot
>>584718750Give it time, it'll depend if her numbers are retarded or not and that'll take a few days to make clear.She's a mystic regen abuser. Her 2 makes her practically unkillable and 3 can steal movespeed if she's up against certain heroes. Also her drawing has some gimmicks.
>>584718801Why are you saying she's balanced like that's a bad thing I do not want another broken release rat king or horribly weak autoloss like danny
Reminder that Violet's kit fucking sucks >1The tracking orbs are a good idea but they're too fast to be used strategically or creatively Plus the ability to build bridges and shit is getting removed. Putting aside what it does to Walkers, there are way, way too many things that can go wrong with an ability like this. At the very least, it's getting fucking neutered.>2The slide gimmick is fun but impractical when you can do movement shenanigans>3Ranged, auto target stun that gives her permanent stats. I shouldn't have to explain why this ability is fucking retarded.>4Literal filler skill. Pointless in her kit, pointless in the game. Also it's more CC slop.
>duuude celeste would never win, everyone at /dlg/ has 999999 apollo votes>duuude violet would never win, eveyrone at /dlg/ as 999999 harrow voteslaughing and slapping my belly at you allfell for it again award
Where's the shortstack hero with big boobs? Everyone knows every game needs one.
>>584718979I said it in the last thread, how easy would it be to slop out a mod with claude or chatGPT that just disables all of Violet's voice lines? How much seething do you think it would cause? I might do that this weekend.
>Healing Tempo +25% OUTGOING healingDoes this mean self healing like Abrams 1 or Geist 2 does not get boosted?
>>5847185793.5/5 bait, work more on the ending next time.
>>584718982Just asked for the violet voters in my last match how they feel and the Silver (of course) that voted 203 times for her says she's perfect. So.
>>584719005random nigga from central park, and baba are still within NYC stereotypes tho
>>584719073her ult enables her to wall people off, slide in, and get off stun on key targets. it's a synergistic kit, I don't have any real complaints about it.
>>584719085
Sorry Violet but the only yellow fever I have is for Danny's Fairfax Jumpsuit. Sponsored by FairFax Industries.

>>584718434Why does she look worse?
>>584719005Danny is pretty interesting and funny, and he makes people seethe just by being there and being a shameless shill.>>584718750She can buy Radiant Regen so she is probably incredibly overpowered.>>584719085>No hoodwink with gigantic tits that bounce around while she walljumps>>584719185Oh yeah this bitch is gonna be annoying.
>>584718624they are doing this to spite us and garner mass appeal, they aren't going to change it.Don't get me wrong, complaining is better than not complaining, but lets be clear here
>>584718959>Mina and McGinnis Those are actually well written retard, Violet is Paige 2 but this time no one calls out her retardation and instead everyone just bends the knee due to how amazing she is, hence Luna Snow 2.0These are the kind of dialogues she has >>584718338
>>584719073>kit fucking sucks>half of the things listed are reasons why her skills are actually too strongare you stupid?

>>584718434literal downgrade god damn
>>584718553Just stay in brick rank and have fun. You don't need to be good at the game
>>584719094as opposed to incoming healing which does not get boosted.
>>584719213uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shit idk
>>584719219It is literally always Vindicta and Haze players that use cheats lol, and no surprise both characters are broken as shit regardless of cheating.>>584719290She does AoE Spirit damage so she is immediately good since that is literally the ONLY thing that matters in Deadlock right now. If you have AoE slop and can buy radiant regen, you are a good character. If you cannot, you suck.
>>584719070Balanced is not the same as mid.
do you think they told her to try and sound like an ASMR vid or did she bring that to the table herself?
>>584718951I know it's my fault for coping but I was really hoping there was some merit to people's theories about her poster and demon/something else being involved and not literally just regular ass artist
>>584719285esl or retardedcall it
>>584719290>48% with people buying random items on her and knowing no gimmicks Yeah, 70% winnrate incoming.
>>584719213Noun: deadlock (countable and uncountable, plural deadlocks)A standstill resulting from the opposition of two evenly matched forces; a stalemate or impasse. "The negotiation ended in deadlock, with neither party willing to compromise on the price."
>>584718750Seems pretty strong
>>584719213cause every match is a 50 minute stalemate

>>584718434Genuinely where is the best play to voice my criticism with this update? Aside from the new map and 1 or 2 characters this update has been a net negative for the game
>>584718916People are mean as fuck to Grey Talon for no reason.>YOOO OLD MAN YOU'RE OLD AS FUCK BRO YOU'RE USING A BOW TOO? GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE BRO
>>584719497It's stupid that I know at least 3 Asian girls with this as their drama.
https://www.reddit.com/r/DeadlockTheGame/comments/1x7s8i7/even_violet_knows_how_alike_they_are/are redditors even sentient
Didn't even read her abilities and instantly got a game with her. Feel pretty smart for coming up with his on the flyFirst impression: This character is insanely easy to play. Her pseudo sinclair bolts could benefit from practice though
>>584718916Not even Paige was this much of a shithead
the made up leaks/speculation were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more interesting than this trash what the fuck
>hype her up as the invoker function>"demon mode">she has the lamest kit possibleLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
So, what are (You) playing till Harrow comes out?
>>584719564>she's like me if I was whitethis implies that asians are black
>>584719527Her best ability is the one that does zero damage, her m2You can block guardian and walker attacks with it, block enemies, waves etc.I worry they'll strip her of any uniqueness and leave her a basic spirit character
>>584719581>Safety shorts of censored assembly line slop o algo
>>584719716They are.
>>584719698Danny Deadman
I really like how she plays but I'm gonna wait until a complete replacement mod comes out before playing her further
>>584719581Her wall is 100% getting nerfed
>>584719646Paige has literally never been mean wtf are you saying?
>>584719716No it doesn't
>>584719497Billy turned his head in to a fucking goat works for a giant rat and probably got STDs from Vyper nobody would approve of him as their son in law
>>584719774>Niggas fr thought she was gonna become a demon or some shit >I even saw somebody say that she was going to be a Fascist Shintoist
>>584718916she's asian american coded as fuck.so much whining and "determination" for a shit degree.
>>584719817but... their skin is both white?
>>584719581>First violet gameplay post is playing JEET BROOLYOSHIT WHY DO THESE SUBHUMANS HAVE VOTING RIGHTS???
They killed sinclair for this
>>584719385The ASMR shit is the sterotypical way millenial asian foids have decided to sound Asian without sounding "like sterotypes". It's insufferable and fucking everywhere. You see it once you'll see it everywhere in Asian Millenial bullshit.AS SOON as I heard her VA I knew it'd be this shit man.
Can't get com banned if you spell Nigger with violet's abilityJust saying
violet gets massively raped by any pick hero or anything that jumps on her in lane, her poke is cancer but that's ither spirit on max ult is less than what baba steals lvl 1 lol
>>584719774I can't believe I'm saying this, but she'd be much better as a tranny-coded Chinese demon pretending to be a little girl
>>584719714wight/white being pronounced the same makes for a lot of funny kelvin stuff
>>584719385Female asian americans can quite literally only do one kind of voice. She's probably even using an ASMR mic too.
>entire team too busy BROOLIN mid for nothing to catch the two side waves crashing into our walkers
so she really is "literal woman"?
The character quality of this update is abysmal compared to the previous two batches.
Violet is stupidly overtuned what the fuck.I laned against a Yamato and pretty much farmed her for movespeed buffs. The 2 allows for braindead rotations. Her ult is EASY gank shit use that everytime. And her 1 decreasing her skill AND ITEM COOLDOWNS is stupid as fuck.Even just using it for a bit her paint ability too makes blocking off paths really fucking easy.
Violet has ONE mod
>>584719774We got robbed in more ways than one. Harrow is the one that transforms into demon mode ffs
>>584719774People really were giga coping that she wasn't going to be boring as sin (I was)
>>584719535The forums
If enough people pushed back on Violet's characterization/writing would Valve go back and fix it? Or is it too late?
>parries you>draws a penis right on your face >dashes awayHow do you respond without sounding mad
>>584719714MEGAKEK
>>584719948>tranny-coded Chinese demon pretending to be a little girlYou randomly reminded me of a doujin I read forever ago where a loli demon creature randomly transformed into fucking Skarbrand from Warhammer out of nowhereNot actually him, but they traced his designIt took me out of it so much that I couldn't keep cooming
>>584720064>modders are tranniesThis isn't news
these are books now, were ghouls beforeshould've been plants lol it's on green these niggas stupid
>>584719774
>>584720064why are they like this?
>>584719698Danny for sure with Solomon on back medium prio. I knew I'd like Danny but Solomon has surprised me. I shat all over him during the voting but moving chess pieces around and making chess jokes in chat is fun. He's easy as fuck too because he's just "AoE slop the fight" so if you just want to chill he's a good pickAlso his accent is funny. I buy knock down just to spam "knoCKdoWN's on cooool down" "reideh to use knnnoCKdoWN"
>>584720137Thats why hes so mad all the time, he wants to be the little girl.
>>584719527The 2 can be guided anon, it takes like a minute to get used to but she has unlimited slide.
>>584719943well yeah dude, did you expect them to give her a team-wide +100 spirit or something?
>>584720114Kit wasn't even designed sovlfvlly enough to have a spraypaint ability she sucks
>>584720085It might not be too late, it's really just a matter of doing new voicelines but that would require getting all the relevant voice actors to redo the lines
>>584720085Hopefuly she'll at least be a wake up call to stop shitting up the game
>not a demon>not some drawing turned to life>not some crazy schizo artist>not inspired by anything in particularholy SLEEP
She feels like one of those saints row reboot characters

>>584720186isn't that church?
>>584720064This is prime thread-ruiner /pol/bait
>>584719948Agreed. It would have been better if she was some Geisha type shit like that dude from Blazblue
>>584718654I’ll defend the utility of a plural second person pronoun, even if I don’t like how the word sounds.
People just say some shit
welp. not a single character released so far has interested me. either kit-wise or design-wise. nurse harrow is my only hope but the only way i'd be interested in her at this point is if she was a lady geist clone and baba's already the spirit tank/bruiser of the batch so. guess this was a complete waste of time
>>584720257holy shit is that machine doll in the wild?
>haha stupid wokies don't get the corporate shill is satirical, they can't enjoy characters they disagree with>WTF HOW DARE THEY ADD A SATIRICAL ART STUDENT
Violet is so shit, I think I'm taking a break from Deadlock. The writing is almost beyond saving.
She's wants to fuck everyone, that's based.
>>584720315incredibly boring and overdone
>>584720378Violet wants her parents dead, or at least don't care if her parents are dead. There's something more than "why you no doctor yet", but knowing how Asian women write, this is her memory of her parents' worst transgression against her and she never let it go because she's privileged as fuck without knowing.

>>584720517Anyone saying they want the chinaman market would know they'd either just 1 to 1 port Grimstroke to Deadlock, or add in some big titted blonde woman.
>>584720404If she was actually satirical you would have other characters telling her to kill herself, like Danny and Billy have. Valve is playing her 100% straight which is why she's getting so much rightful hate
>>584720064They can keep her.

This update made me remember how much I can't stand Asian American women. Insecure, slutty, and self-absorbed cunts, every single one I've met.

I was hoping Danny would call her a chink or a gook by accident

Respectfully Seven shouldn't give a shit about Violet's interest unless Violet had some secret artist power that most aren't aware of, but the dialogue is still written like she's some regular asian artistand then seven concedes in an argument to her? WHAT IS THIS DEI SHIT MAN??
>the "reddit" characters were the only good ones
>>584720956Seven calls her cliche, but yeah the only way I take her seriously at all is if some of the cast start genuinely ripping into her because otherwise its disgusting.

>>584721174Solomon was interesting mechanically but he's dull as a character
They could have done a million interesting things with an artist concept. Hell they could have down a million interesting things with a Chinese concepts. Crazy that they combined this two concepts into the most boring thing possible.You know how some people do ideas like "baseball player but ghost" or "taxi cab man but giant spider", this would be like the devs went "okay, baseball player who drives a taxi", but even that is more interesting because it's absurd. >"Arthoe but... nothing, she's just chinese"
>>584721105it completely blocks npc attacks (like walker stomps and beam) as well as ults like minas if your reaction time is good enough
>>584720981i'd say the game is pretty good balance wise now,atleast compared to the horseshit that the games been stuck with in the past>kelvin carry>gun viscous>overflow-mercmag>sinclair 40% cooldown since hero labs

>lose>can't figure out why>lose 8 more timesgooooooooooooood game
old gods new blood really ruined this game and its community even more soyoutube comments are entirely populated with tourists praising this writing despite it not fitting into the universe
>>584720982>Nothing about them says "I'm doing occult rituals for power"This part of the game was completely removed. THE RITUAL is now just a friendly spar before going to the bar, it doesn't feel like a world changing occult ritual at all. This batch of heroes doesn't even have a good motivation to even join in.
>>584718434>>584721185POST ON THE FORUMSTHE BOTTOM SECTION FOR AUDIOVISUAL FEEDBACKMAKE THEM UNDO THIS BEFORE TUESDAY
Do you guys have interesting writing?
>>584719085Valve could never replicate such a masterpiece.
>>584720759Aptly put, this is a major issue with a lot of "girlboss" type characters in Western media where they're self-righteous assholes but the plot bends over backwards to justify them and other characters starts acting out of character toward them.

>Violet can stun Vindicta mid-air just by having line of sight with her 3Can't Vindicta catch a break? her counters just keep increasing.
I've seen a lot of complaining that Violet is very plain compared to other characters, but I think we should give her more time to shine. The beauty of Deadlock's characters is often that there's a twist to a trope or a layer hidden underneath their presentation that isn't immediately obvious until they are confronted with someone who can create interesting friction.As an example Lash has interactions with 24 other characters while Violet still only has interactions with 12. If you only had half of Lash's convos to work with you would probably think he's the most one note character ever, but with the full set we can catch glimpses of his kayfabe breaking which makes him a much more interesting character.Honestly I felt a similar way about Solomon at first. Sure he had a lot of aura and the board configurations detail is cool, but it seemed like he was some perfect, wise Gary Stu with no flaws that everyone looked up to and that no one, not even Seven, could rattle him. As more interactions have come out though, especially the one with Danny implying that he may be putting on an act, and the reveal that he regularly talks with McGinnis the resident arms manufacturer it became clear that there's going to be more underneath the surface that we will get to see over time.

>>584721001Saar multiple people redeeming comms ban Saar do the needful and redeem thread in esl English on int again
even seven acknowledges that violet is boring as hell
Dang this hero sucks. Bland and trivial motivation, uninteresting character, shit writing in the voicelines. I thought Baba's VA was bad, but this js just sad - I bet a randomly picked anon could probably voice this character in in a more interesting way. It's that ass. The kit is underwhelming: 1 and 2 have somewhat cool gimmicks, but 3 and 4 feel like filler. Also the fucking bait with the poster.Even her design is just bland - like seriously, they couldn't come up with a better idea for an OCCULT PAINTER? No madness no nothing? Just some normal chick?? (I am aware of the tranny selfinsert hypothesis).Seriously my expectation for violet were low but i am still disappointed. I hope people at least don't play her once the hype dies down, so i won't have to play in the same lobby as this failure in character design.I will also note that its ironic how a literal art hoe is visually the mkst underwhelming character in the entire fucking roster,even including the heroes with placeholder models.

>>584721169Literally Luna Snow industry plantValve wants that China/Korea/Japan money
>>584720792email gabe
Over status?
>>584721275I think the Chinese aspect is honestly such a letdown. A lot of the times we get a character from a different country they come with some really interesting tidbits about their countries lore within the games universe. Plus they tend to be less susceptible to the ever-growing issue of every character knowing everything about each other
>>584721185FuckIt sucks because I absolutely love itBut I know most people hate it so it'll probably get reverted
>>584721434This is actually from reddit right
KWAB
>>584718165you can heavy melee the paint away btw
Is this what Asian girls actually want as representation?A vapid reefer whore with no zest at all?
Can we ask why the fuck Valve even wants to bend over backwards for China? They make more money than any of us here would make EVER why the fuck do they need to make a shit character for china?
>Violet, your parents forced you to play an instrument at 5, finish the ritual and get your revenge
>>584721564Yeah I love posting that shit.
>>584720517Billy is the white boy in question by the way
>>584721462WELL THAT MAKES IT OKAY THEN!>see we are self-aware! We are absolved
I think most of her conversations are actually ok for the characterThe absolute worst are Billy's and Baba's but Baba's conversations are always shit
>>584721417Thank you for reminding me how much I hate Monkey King (Not in DOTA just in general)
She's right y'know.
>>584721583WHAT WAS IT SUPPOSED TO MEAN
>>584721583Seriously wtf was the point of the poster at all
what if violet was TRAPPED and BETRAYED (had to play an instrument)
Asian women are vapid whores and should get the same reaction as niggers do when put into games
>>584721417Dont worry I put in the word with yoshi, you are getting a old man in central park that does tai chi but is actually a cultivator soon.
asian women fuck goats
>ugh my parents are the worst, they made me play the piano growing up, anyways how bad were your parents Warden
>>584721185it's overall better but it could be perfect if they kept the darker eye bags
>>584721620I read that in the hidden king's voice
>>584721620>Yessss Violet, annoy them allthis shit tuff....
>>584721745im sorry i ever said anything bad about you
Why would Violet know Arin anyways? They didn't go to the same school and she's not high society
>>584721761No, seriously, are all female asians like this? I feel like this is pretty much the only personality they have
>>584721547Agree. Would've loved to see some more mahjong-inspired bullshit, those tiles are cool as hell. Or maybe even traditional calligraphy.
>>584721649lamp-shadingwhich begs the question; why tolerate your own shitty writing (as a writer) then never change it? and even fucking acknowledge the writing is shitty?
>open xitter>broooo I just LOVE Violet she's so RELATABLE!!!!why the fuck would you want a MOBA character to be relatablewhy the fuck should a character in alt history 40s New York that uses magic and occult shit be relatable to you in 2026
>>584721456
>>584721828Because everyone knows everyone regardless of it making sense or not
>>584721185Add eye bags, make her skin paler, and give her back the slightly parted lips and we're good
her interactions with solomon are so obnoxiously DEI sweet baby inc levels of writing it's actually making me cringe
>>584720754It's over for Deadlock if Yamato remodel doesn't have this (for lack of a better word) aura.
here is your new heroNothing screams 20th century New York more than a Millennial Callarts Asian American girl with daddy issues
>>584721781and dogs, don't forget the dogs (based based based based based)
>both discord and reddit are shitting on her writing tooThis is good brosBetter we get one bland hero get eviscerated by everyone to send yoshit a message
This conversation pisses me the fuck off, why the fuck is the ARTIST asking the MODEL what is a fucking normal ass activity to their courses. Imagine a fucking Doctor asking a patience if he's fine with Doctors peeking at his asshole to find out if he's sick.
>>584721839A poor attempt to justify the fact that this character exists so women will buy eighty billion skins and fund the game forever
>>584721792Someone did a blend of the two, I don't mind it
This batch of heroes flopped because there was no hebe-kino
On one hand I commend Valve for hiring junior writers and letting them work on their big projects
>>584721936kill yourself
>>584721583>When I put in possibly interesting design elements just for the lols
>>584721417bro your shiv?
>>584721828It's the new tumblr writing. Everyone knows everyone. It was weird Infernus remembering Mina using a fake ID to go to his bar 5 years ago, now even Violet knows about Mina getting carded for some fucking reason.
>>584721514Luna is not that bad, just a basic bitch heroViolet is worse
>>584721828She's Chinese she probably sees 50 Arins look-a-likes a day looks all look the same
>>584721928>here is your new heroShe actually has a monster transformation unlike Violet LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>584721385>Do you guys have interesting writing?The real question is why are you retards looking for good writing out of a MOBA shooter in the first place? Just watch a good anime instead of expecting good writing out of a fucking multiplayer game.
Man.All the nude mods are gonna make her thicc. Fuck, I *like* twiggy girls!That's about all she's good for...
>another character whose motivation is mommy/daddy issuesWhen it was just Pocket, it was fine, then Victor but whatever, then Apollo but it's different, then Graves but it's subtle, and now Violet and it's even more bland and in your face then ever. It's her whole thing almost
>>584721945>Imagine a fucking Doctor asking a patience if he's fine with Doctors peeking at his asshole to find out if he's sick.you do know doctors literally do have to ask for consent to do that right
>>584721847Genz has to self insert into everything. They literally cant comprehend how to engage in media without self inserting since a majority of them didn't grow up reading actual books.
>>584721828this is really the biggest flaw when looking at deadlock writing as a wholeeveryone knows eachother somehow, everybody's heard of eachother through hearsay, nobody has really ever had to fucking learn of each other's existence at the start of the ritual; even though there's so many potential participants of the ritual and it's not possible for have everyone to have met everybody
>>584721949Yeah how that's the good shit right there
>>584721645>Billy is squirrelly whenever someone asks him why he turned his head into a Goat>Violet is into furries
>>584721645>she on billy/vyper circle>but unlike those 2 she isn't considered a repulsive retard by everyone around herI can see why she would hang out with billy, but why would she hang out with the neurotic murderer?
>>584721609...yes? whites and asians are going all in on black culture.
>>584719546Ginnis is unironically kind of nice to him but in her very pragmatic way>look just tell me if you like stroke or break a hip because its a real thing that might happen, Im just preparing for it
>>584721960
I hope everyone that voted for violet is happy with what they got
>>584721847Arthoes
>>584721945I agree, should have been reversed. Maybe Victor bringing up the fact that the body parts being stared at aren't really "his".
Only play standard is this an elo bomb?
>>584721680I can accept her and Billy desu, his entire thing is poser and it looks worse on her then him (dude, I smoke le weed, I'm relatable!) It's seven having one line making fun of her (short) and another line (massive) glazing her ass
>>584722054Name well written anime.
>>584721976Is solomon unintentionally the funniest character ever.
>>584721609She's for the Chinese market. Don't blame this shit on "Asians" because you end up dragging in uninvolved Japanese and Koreans
>>584721928>round eyesnot fooling anyone with that three generations deep in BWC hapa
>>584721381>This batch of heroes doesn't even have a good motivation to even join in.This is more because they're mysteryboxing the fuck out of Baba and Solomon's true motives. Rat King's motive is fine, too. I agree Danny is too one note for his wish to be interesting whatever it may be though, even if he's entertaining.
>>584721828I mean, he's the Fairfax heir, everyone should know who he is after he revealed it. The surprise is in learning that he is alive

Why does he have so many friends and acquaintances now? When he released he was on a mission for truth and travelled a lot following leads. Now it's like he's another sim in their sim city
>>584722060I feel your pain, fellow sticclover. Nude mods are all just slop nowadays.
>>584718317At the very least near every character considers him insufferable. No one can get angry at the devs self insert.
Personally I feel like she is very well executed in her voice work that makes her a sort of “child immigrant to college student” concept that she has.She has a rather grounded but honest approach to how she acts and behaves that honestly kind of makes her stand out compared others who have a more extreme aspect around them (like Billy being very punk-ish angry, Pockets moodiness or Grey Talon being very vengeful/depressed) that also has an interesting angle for an artist character in terms of her goals and values (at least to me she does, it feels more personal centric rather than art centric to me).She kind of feels like a bit of fresh air and it honestly saddens me that others don’t feel the same way, to the point of acting like she’s just like the actual generic personalities like Luna Snow for example, when she clearly isn’t the case.
>>584722163no, I am pretty shocked, I thought valve was hiding a really fun ability kit behind a very plain visual design sorta like doorman, but everything about her is just horrible and its really fucked up my whole mood, her voice lines genuinely seem AI generatedim just going to go and learn danny instead like I always should have
>>584722220>She's for the Chinese market.No she's fucking not. She's Chinese American relatable slop.>I hate my family I hate my culture I hate studying and playing instruments I just want to be AMERICAN and fuck white men and-This is pure poison to actual Chinese people, they fucking hate that type of character.

I'm just going back to Rivals.Both games are entirely paced around AoE slop leading to an objective being taken with zero possibility to contest, but at least Rivals those happens on the first minutes, you don't have to pretend playing a better game that's ultimately pointless

Hilarious that the Transbian horde got exactly what they wanted with Violet and she is as insufferable as they are.
>>584722875she is simply reddit's most formidable champion

>>584722563is there more
>>584722630I like your little system btw even though I think a lot of your numbers are wrong.
Anyone else feel like Danny just doesn't fit into this game? There's no market for the Chimera Mark 1.
>>584722915At least Harrow has the biggest cup size of any hero so far. She's a bit old but the "Shh - shh - shh" line she had made something throb a bit.
>>584722686The problem with her Billy voicelines is that they're inconsistent with the rest of her character.If they align politically/culturally that's fine. She's a young artist. But where is that in the rest of her dialogue? She's 100% nice to Danny for example - compare that to Billy's dialogue where he despises him.
>everything about Violet's "characterization" screams girlfailure, disappointment to parents>but they couldn't commit>they just HAD to make her incredibly successful and talentedWHY
>>584722864>>584722992just reduce the range so she's encouraged to split off the enemy team with her walls and get aggressive stuns with the sliding ability

>>584723115>>they just HAD to make her incredibly successful and talentedbecause they wanted to have their cake and eat it too>go one step beyond #relatable girlfailure for the masses and write something interesting about her being an actual fucking failure at life in a once selfless-turned-selfish pursuit of the arts?>no just make her half-relatable-half-sweetbabyinc successful
>>584723115Her being a complete failure that somehow got hold paint magic powers would make her motivation for joining the ritual way better
>>584722630Pocket should have higher desperation and maybe even zero on disregard for life unless that includes his own life.
>>584721270They genuinely all are dull. Almost all the previous characters had layers of personality to them, additions to the lore, and actually interesting kits. Every single one of these new characters are one dimensional at best.

Genuinely none of these characters bring anything new or interesting to the game.

>>584722220She's also Japanese meaning Chinese people will automatically hate her
>>584723283Actually Violet made it
>>584723115It really is amazing there were like a million ways to make her fun story wise and literally not a single one was taken
>>584718703don't be retarded ez
>>584723294>what kind of person dedicates themselves to a corporation?so she's also unemployed yet still highly successful, gooooootchya
When are they going to add street hooker?
>>584723115All her conversations with Billy are her talking about how they love doing lefty activism and getting high in their spare time.She also talks to Baba how she doesn't talk to her parents anymore.I can't tell if they made her an insulting stereotype of art students on purpose or not.
>>584723181Threads live and die by their OC, I should probably make some more from time to time>>584723062
>>584723265Put some fucking respect on my girl vyper, she was the original degenerate
>>584723103Yea it's all over, why is she suddenly a slacking weed smoking whore in her lines with Billy but a genuine artist in over her head looking for advice with the others?HOW did this pass their checks???
>>584723378She's chinese
>>584719774>bland design>mommy and daddy issues>literally just a second generation immigrant millennial chinese girl>tumblr writingviolet really is paige with nothing
>>584722054Because the entirety of the world building and character development up until this point was extremely good and interesting.This new update has shown they've completely run out of gas regarding ideas and concepts and everything from here is downhill.
>>584723342>hustlerPeople keep describing Solomon as this but he doesn't even hustle. The closest would be his lines with Billy and it's implied he did it to put Billy in his place rather than make some money.
>>584723283>Idea was scrapped in development>She made it in her spare time in like an hour because she was bored and then threw it in the dumpster>Nobody told Danny and he thinks it's a prototype for Fairfax's next product

Apologize.
>>584723342defending paige and silver is trite when they're both cut from the same generic cloth as violet.
>>584723115I'm like 99% certain her backstory is AI generated.
>>584718295I may have dumped votes into Violet because people were annoying thirsting for safe horny shit pretending Harrow is hot, but I dumped Votes into Danny first, and that was the correct choice, regardless of how Violet actually turned out.

>>584723464She's not. She has a Japanese accent and draws in ukio-e.
>>584720064violet xisters our response
>>584722813Kek
>>584723552This is the purest Truth Nuke that many will reject
>>584722460In terms of how I feel they fit the setting (feels a bit unfair on the unfinished character models)
Violet is gonna end up as the Luna Snow of Deadlock, yuck.
>>584721385Friends of Humanity character soon. Trust the process.
>Paint Blocks everythingsOh god she's the new Steve with the block bullshit isn't she?
She's talks and speaks like shes 14. Why is someone in loke her 20s talking like shes 14. Why is she unable to speak proper English, does she have brain damage beyond being an arts major? Im legitimately confused given how little of her is like, of interest. Ive seen more compelling talks with Baba, and shes not even really old or wise or intetesting at all besides realizing Kevin is the Thing.
>>584723265Vyper is great.Granted a lot of it is because of her voice acting but the actual writing is solid.Dynamo and Venator are good too.
Also honestly if she's the daughter to immigrants and lived overseas until she was 5, why is her name Violet? Is it just her artistic name?
Look on the bright side at least it isn't another black butch girl boss who could kick everyone's ass and has this stupid fucking haircut
I was the original Paige gigahater back when she was new, I thought she didn't fit the game and the uwu innocent girl gimmick annoyed me.Now Violet is everything I thought was shit about Paige but 100x.Should I apologize to Paige or blame her for beginning the spiral of Deadlock's setting into shit?
>>584723440Thanks, I like making folders for stuff I like so I save all those>>584723342Victor and Silver are pretty boring, anon. But I do agree overall.There's also some character assasination on later updates like Paige being a common magic user with bibliomancy, Lenny's gonna Lenny Celeste, Mina's less bitchy attitude and so on. Grim.
>>584723757She's just like me.
>>584723047he's a simp
>>584723124>Gain health regen on cast>Lowers enemy damageThey definitely intended for this ability to be something you put yourself at risk to get offSo why on god's green earth does it have a 25 meter range?
>>584723589>pretending Harrow is hotjust say you're a pedo, we get it
>>584723292It's fucking horrible isn't it? On release Seven was the big bad that everyone feared. No the cast is full of Gods, ancient evils, and child superheroes. What started with him deconstructing other characters like Geist or Haze has been flanderised into him just being a dev mouth piece for smarty pants snark they think would be too mean or clever on anyone else. Also Seven was presented as someone disinterested in wasting time on frivolity yet they add two lines where he's greatly familiar with Mina's high fashion faux pas. So stupid.
>>584723814Ekko really has to be the worst character in all of MOBAs
>>584723294If that's deliberate that's fine but I think it could have come across better in their interactions. Like she should be more hesitant, and definitely should not be interested in Fairfax products
Let's compare. Picrel
harrow is going to be a gun-support and not a single harrow voter is going to want to actually play hersaving my laughs for next week tuesday
>>584723440Please do. The artistic spirit of shitposts and OC is one of the primary forces that drive 4chan on.
>Wendigo>Mothman>King Kong(who can cover Wukong too)>Paul Bunyan(uses chainsaw instead of ax?)Loads of TRVE AMERICANA tropes not in the game and they decide to add Asian Diaspora Anxiety: The Hero
I'm really dissapointed that her 3 doesn't have her paint each character in ukio-e style. I mean they would have had to comission a bunch of pieces for it, but it would have been great
>>584723918>>584720517
>>584718658It does kind of suck that more and more heroes are just there for the hell of it or don't have a clear wish for the ritual. Feels like you should have their goal and work from there as a character otherwise they kind of end up boring. Every once in awhile the idea of them being there for wanton murder is fun like Drifter but the shtick gets old fast and it's kind of hard to have anything interesting when a character has Tom Bombadil level motivation, as well as making the murder hobos less unique
>>584723725Silver is not as bad as Violet by any means.Billy may be anachronistic, but they did a great job with him.
Played Rat King for the first time. I love how no matter how dogshit or amazing you do, both teams love you because you're da kinga da rats, baybee.
>>584723730I hope they actually define what the fuck the FoH are soon because the game is starting to just treat them as an umbrella term for disposable chud villains
>>584723630he's right though, paige is violet tier and silver is whatever.
>>584723919That's exactly what I want her to be.>t. exclusive harrow voter
>>584723540literally represents the beginning of the end>omg they're adding goonbait to deadlock we're savedThis is the end result. Bye bye taste, byebye quality, here is your slop

>>584723725suck my cock buddy
>>584720064Don't worry anon, I will make my mod that mutes all of her voice lines and ONLY her voice lines this weekend.
>>>crackshot>misses 10 shots while fishing for the one headshot >does 10 billion damage anywaywhy don't they just make it like mystic shot where it's ready so dont miss and if you do now it's on cd
>>584723725Put Paradox out of there
Based Seven clocked her instantly.
>>584723342I want to say that you're wrong but you're not.I think the new heroes are all conceptually and aesthetically solid and the abilities are creative, but the writing just isn't there. I'd say the best one is Rat King but he's pretty one-note and doesn't interact with the rest of the lore.
>>584723814Give it a few months
>>584723978It's not ukiyo-e. Ukiyo-e was primarily woodblock prints, nothing like the thick brush she uses.
>>584724003Billy was honestly taken down quite a bit in my ranking with this latest update, he's got too many characters he's friendly with now
>>584724114rat king was literally born on reddit and broke the game for 3 days
>>584724118Paradox is hot but that's basically all she has going on
>three full threads in a matter of hourswhat the fuck happened
>>584723814cut blacks some slack they got no good hair cuts.
>>584723589Sorry tourist-kun but /dlg/ has been hag fucker central for years
>>584724114Danny, Rat Kang, and Harrow are all tasteful and well-designed. Baba was underdelivered.
I don't get why Haze tries to justify being a "good" glownigger to everyone, it gets annoying
It's like they took all the hyperbolic jokes about her being the most stereotypical modern day art student + 2nd generation immigrant in history, gave it to chatgpt and asked it to make dialogue lines for her.Are they fucking with us?
>>584724201violet is so bad she buck broke /vg/
>>584720315Nah I think they should have gone the Van Gogh route but with a splash of Lovecraft where magical beings keep schizobabbling to her and appearing in her dreams and she has to draw them to get them out.
>>584724164Imagine if he kept that energy on their other convos
>>584723589>le buzzwordsjsut admit you like basic whores, retard
>>584724201Violet is fucking garbage that's what happened
>>584724059>artist character self-insert using AI The potential for seethe would be glorious
>>584723885>>584724075>>584724296I prefer my women to not have crows feet.The "we love older women" shit can stay on twitter.
>>584723646I know you want to pretend to know something, but 谢谢 is not japanese.
So what the fuck is she supposed to do gameplay wise
Reading lore and character interactions are women coded.
>>584724118>>584724158I like Paradox's gameplay but she really needs an updated model and some updated lore (pretty much the same issue that Shiv has but they've already started updating Shivs lore)
>>584723919I want this, give me medic or ana but without bliizard retardation.
>>584724201Shitting on Violet is fun because there is so much to work with
>>584724259all glowies are like that
>>584724201The pajeetbots are working overtine
CNS will be remembered as the turning point where Deadlock began to die.
>>584724191I just think she needs to be like 10% more steampunk personally. Even if steampunk is a dogshit aesthetic generally, it would make her feel less.. space age?
Yoshi we were making fun of Luna Snow we didn't actually want her in the game
>>584723725Solomon has fucking great visuals you are just racist.Also Seven looks super unfinished so he definitely does not belong that high. And why isn't Sinclair at the bottom? He's easily the most unfinished looking character in the game.
>>584724259Because this land has actual demons in it and the Unbra and witches and warlocks do evil ass shit. Like theres blood sacrificed and way more foul evil shit happening right fucking now, people like Sandmen and Venators are required so you dont have 500 Drifters literally murder raping the world.
>>584723885go back.
>>584724191Her visual design just needs some touch ups to remove the scifi elements to fit the period perfectly
>>584724345Genuinely does not matter. Old Japanese artists used Chinese all the time, and its a single tiny piece of evidence compared to her literally having a Japanese accent
>>584723589>PretendingBoth Harrow and Violet are hot. The difference is that at least Harrow has a cohesive design and any sort of characterization at all. The fact that you literally admit to only voting for Violet out of spite instead of even giving a shit about her also speaks for itself.
Danny feels like he was made by a completely different team.>rat king (overwatch tier barrier and defensive AoE teamfight slop ult)>baba (more teamfight AoE slop, stuns, and silences)>Solomon (more AoE slop, stuns, teamfight)>Violet (massive AoE, blind, stuns, teamfight)>Danny (kills himself by using his flight, pathetic AoE, single target ult that accomplishes the same thing as Violet's 3)
The massacres in North Ixia didnt happen, but if it did they deserved it
>>584723464>>584724345it could be that shes from manchuria given that its the 40s? Even though I assume the chinese fan base will eat valve alive if they depict anything from the imperial japanese.
>>584724207Sure.
>>584724462>to her literally having a Japanese accenther voice acting is so fucking bad it doesn't matter
If they do another black guy it has to be a voodoo shaman type guy, honestly surprised they haven't yet
>>584721174>solomon and deadman danny are constantly called reddit>actually fun to play>4chan heroes are boring and have tumblr tier writing
>>584724164Seven is really good at reading people despite being a megalomaniac.
>>584724306garbage as in bad unit? or garbage as in character
>>584724201violet dropped and she mindbroke the thread
>>584723378>>584723464>>584723646>>584724345OOOOHHHH ME RIKE DA FRIED EER
>>584724164>create a character is insanely boring and cliche>have another character basically admit you know it's cliche>get patted on the back for your writing I hate shit like this. You see it in modern writing all the time>YES I know I wrote something extremely generic but LOOK I acknowledged it? Isn't that clever?
>>584724336I like both.
Next patch will feature Zeplins, hugo boss and swastikas
>>584724291
>>584724364No it's not, in fact most problems with modern writing are there because WOMEN who write that shit DON'T read the lore and DON'T pay attention to characterization. Worldbuilding consistency and proper character interaction require male autism.
>>584724201Violetfags acting uppity and annoying since the voting started so now that she's released and has an ok kit and terrible characterization, people are having a field day with things

>>584724539Witch Doctor from dota but cool instead of silly with a lousiana accent.
>>584724508Well then they should fire the team making the other characters because he's by far the most fun to play of the bunch
>>584724494Violet's design is cohesive. Its her writing thats dogshit.>The fact that you literally admit to only voting for Violet out of spite instead of even giving a shit about her also speaks for itself.Yeah cause Danny was the only one out of this entire set that looked interesting. Last batch had a lot more heroes I actually gave a shit about so voting was more fun last time. Once I got Danny, I really didn't care who got in.
>>584724605based?
Violet is such a flop I don't even wanna ship her with any girls I want it to be known, Yuribros do not claim Violet
>>584722630For everyone confused by yellow ratingIt's actually quite rare for characters to have it highOne of two metrics for this score is how unobtainable their goal without a wishFor most of them it is quite trivial comparativelyLike finding someone so they can kill him or whateverIt's okay for characters to attend for purely selfish reasons, but it should be clearly established, which is why blue cap is thereThough most of characters pass 5 points overall which is good, it doesn't really matter how high their score above that
I'd look like Violet if I wore a wig.
>>584724616Yes, and i just told you why it doesn't matter thats in chinese. She's Japanese. Stop coping
>>584724656But fern is just a cool black guy not a voodoo black guy
>>584724558She doesn't even have a real wish which is the purpose of the ritual. She says she's not going to wish for fame so she's going to... showcase her art skills in the fight and wish for... nothing?
>>584724629Ivymonkeys were always the laughinstock of Deadlock. I remember way back when before we knew VA names, ivyfags were hallucinating that she shared a VA with Dark Willow to steal monsterfucker cred, and spammed /v/ threads with art from discord. Be quiet.
>>584724750Put it on and bend over, then.
>characters that lostbillypaigepocketminasevendriftervictorremviscous
>>584724432I did Solomon's visuals a little dirty (I really like the implication with the queen gamepiece being his wife). It's a major pet peeve but I feel like the chess jewellery despite being small just makes him feel overdesigned.Seven and Sinclair are very obviously unfinished but have a very strong visual identity (I don't think either of them need to really have much changed just make the models a bit nicer looking). If they drastically overhaul Sinclair's look I would honestly be disappointed
Paradox is love, but she does kind of not only have VERY little to do with time, her whole aesthetic gimmick, but she also looks like a Warframe character. Her domehead mask should just be a more normal mask or something.
>>584724605Wtf is this even supposed to mean?

>>584724750Konichwa duuuuuude! Could you hook me up with your sister?
>>584724683Already been confirmed
>>584723902ekko pisses me off because he didn't start off as a stereotypehe was a punk rock loving junkyard kid (LITERAL CHILD!!!) with severe ocd cursed with time rewind powers. his starting coming showed how he had to relive his friends dying over and over and over because he kept save reloading trying to save them and just couldn't. he had loving parents who just weren't around due to work but still provided for him and were supportive of his talents. also he had a straight hair mohawk. all scrapped with arcane btw. aged up to a young adult, given the killmonger cut, turned into antifa terrorist orphan with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove...and accidentally discovers the ability to time travel. loves to rap now and his love for rock and punk has never been shown again. complete butchered his character i'm still so fucking pissed.
>>584724694Not with the setting it isn't. That being said, I can at least respect you voting for Deadman, so there's that at least.
>>584724703>So bad that yurifags don't want her when she's the character that's actually most likely to be bilol
>>584719517
>>584723725The new batch of conversations I feel really helped Silver which turned her character in a completely different direction from VyperIt still needs a lot of work but it seems at least workable compared to VioletI don't think you can salvage her character
>>584724827She's saying haze has killer hips eslbroAka attractive/impressive
>>584723725Calico's model is placeholder as fuck and doesn't read like anything. If there weren't actual polygon heroes like sinclair and vyper in the game she'd easily be the shittest looking hero. High black queen waifu potential if they land her a good redesign.
>>584724769If this was a year ago seven would call her a complete retard that should kill herself in an spectacular fashion to achieve the same result instead of bothering those who have actual goals with her presence
>>584724510I read that in Danny's voice
>>584724629Theres only 3 of you and theres only every BEEN 3 of you.

WAITER, MORE AOESLOP FOR STREET BRAWL PLEASE!!!
>>584724860*starting comicalso that isn't even mentioning he's just become an accessory to jinx now so dogshit what they did to him AAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>584718579you have to go back
>>584724918Her final model will be a high res Debra Wilson
>>584724703Bro they LITERALLY made her for you. She's YOUR representation
>>584720517I get what you're saying, but the picrel is uncalled for lol.
>>584724703That's YOUR character, nigga!
>>584725058kino as long as it's young debbie
>>584724703Hey yurifag, she was made for you.Eat up the slop on your plate.
The violet hate feels extremely forced.
>>584722506Maybe it's supposed to be character development (I know for a fact it is not but this would be a sign of at least decent writing) that Victor is more comfortable with his body because literally every woman in the game thirsts over him.
I am legitimately fucking shocked that NOTHING came of Violet's damage portrait being a weird fucked up chicken creature. Like, she's not disguised and that's her true form, she can't transform into it, she can't even summon it or whatever. They might as well have just put the red X's over her eyes and called it a day to save everyone the trouble of hoping she'd actually have something going on underneath the veneer.
>>584724683Celeste is a biological woman with a glittery puffy pussy
>>584723310this would have redeemed her for me
>>584724703Holy shit the situation is GRIM
>>584724918Basically the same thing I said before with Seven/Sinclair I think Calico has a really strong foundation for a design it just needs to be polished moreso than tweaked with. >>584724910I'll be honest I haven't even looked at hers because I wasn't a fan of her previously and most of the new conversations have been kinda bad
Notice how there's no asian men in video games, and if they did add one he's gay or bi or a 70 year old goblin.
>>584725185This kekGuaranteed it's like a cabal of disgruntled tranniesMost forced shit I've seen on this general in a while
>>584724769Her wish is beyond stupid. Even wishes for money make more sense. Who is watching the ritual looking for artists? Who is watching the ritual at all? Also she can just do ink magic because? Seems to have nothing to do with her artistic ambitionsThis is the riskiest most stupidiest thing you could do just for some publicity. It'd be another thing if she was a failing artist but she's doing fine apparently, she just thinks "hmmm but I want to be REALLY famous". Fucking hell may as well just duel in the bear pit with her ink.It's the most vapid shit ever. It's not even a love of the art either because she's already engaging with it fully, she just wants people to praise and pay her.
>>584721945Everything around this is poison.Violet is basically ruining other people's characters by existing.
even doe Rem wonnered
>>584725009Coming right up one aoe teamfight winning fear for harrow
A character in Deadlock's setting should not be comparing themselves to someone else with the words "She's like me if I was white and more neurotic"
>>584724539>cast a hex on you>"bomboclat stinky pussy wagon">you fucking explode and diePeak character
>>584725276Why would trannies hate their yuri representation?
>>584722210I think he might be.>People thought he would be some 9001 IQ Invoker-tier character that is super hard to play>He's actually just another AoE spirit slop spammer that covers the floor in lava, I mean chess tiles>He just gets a better version of Dynamo's quantum entanglement and it ALSO HAS A SHIELD BECAUSE EVERYONE NEEDS A SHIELD NOW!!>He gets floaty movement like Celeste to make him annoying to chase>His gun is just a better version of Paige's gun>All of his lines have him acting like the smarmiest nigger possible>His voice acting is actually good so it's even funnier
>>584725214I meant "Violet's damaged poster" but I fucked up, whoops
it makes way more sense for violet to be a heroin addict than a weed smoker
>>584725276trannies literally claimed her before she released
>>584724026at least paige isn't a literal whore
>>584725364idk you tell me, trannies itt are seething at violet for no reason
>>584724703she has like 20 lines about how much she wants to fuck silver isn't this is what you wanted brochacho
>I'm doing the ritual for exposure>Nobody is televising, journalizing, or recording it>Even if she wins, she's just "artist that killed people in a death cult battle"What exposure exactly
>>584725185To the extent it is? AbsolutelyBut is it deserved? Also yesViolet's boring design carried through to her personality, backstory, and characterization
>>584725320The writing has been on the wall for some time, Holliday says she needs to get her tubes tied after meeting Graves
>>584724918I never completely understood hate for calico visual designShe could get a little less ugly with niggerlips being less niggerlyBut otherwise her design makes her look like a slick coldhearted cunt, which is what she isI even think making her too hot would hurt that idea, since point is to hate this sheboonMaybe instead of the hairball it can be a short ponytail or whatnot, but I don't think she looks directionless at very least
>>584725391She definitely does coke.
>>584725263Seven's model isn't unfinished the fuck you on about. It's not fully polished, it's like old Abrams model. It is a finished model with the concept they're going with. Calico is a half baked Neon Prime model they slapped Haze's hair on. All the hero lab heroes are like this, not really comparable to Seven.
>>584725415They can have her she sucks
>>584725185>>584725276weak bait but heres a you for pity
>>584724539>Drifter is already cajun>Solomon is already caribbeanIt's over.
Ah, I see the jews have finally made an appereance to sow dissentYou are 3 hours late, getting sloppy
>>584725421yeah paige's character is salvageable violet is just straight garbage.
>>584725185People were hoping for something a little less on the nose. I think her kit's fine, at least.
>>584723725literal peak Deadlock girl.
total chud defeat
>black characters in mid 20th century new york that actually have jobs and are respected instead of being lynched>this is fine :)>asian woman in mid 20th century new york>aiieee this is immersion breaking im getting dei'd by sweet baby inc aaaaaa
>>584725527
>>584725443>I have to join [whatever group or batrle] to prove myself to my parents and get fame!She's so generic you could throw her in ANY hero shooter
>>584722440This anon is retarded, Steins Gate is kinda midwit tier and meant to seem a lot smarter than it actually is. Also VNs suck ass lol>>584722205Katanagatari is pretty good. Sword of the Stranger is also pretty good. Vampire Hunter D is quite entertaining even if the books are a bit samey.
>>584724174Its the Violet interaction for me that really stung, very cringe and lame.He is hostile toward Danny.I think him being friendly with Baba is a good touch though. Punks having issue with any authority but a soft spot for old people and kids is an bit of cliche for a reason. But they did a good job with it. Especially with how powerful Baba supposedly is.I genuinely don't even remember how he acts with Solomon, but I can't imagine its that positive.Really I just think all the writing around Violet is bad. But it does make Billy look like a chump. But if hers is the only that does that for him, I can mostly overlook it.>>584725058Even Debra Wilson doesn't want that to keep happening.
>>584725527only people I see seethe n froth with rage @ violet are troons, they are probably jealous cause she mogs them
>>584723725>Graves>Paige>good writing
Wait where's her occult power come from? She literally has nothing in her bio about it. Every other character who's "just a person" has a book or a weapon or a tool or is a magical creature. Even Venator has the Bible and blessed stakes. Did they forget the occult part of her bio? I bet this hero was up to the last second a clusterfuck and this end result is cobbling together the bits after they spent all the time working on the painting gimmicks
WHY DOES SHE HAVE INK POWERS??HELLO???NO EXPLANATION???????
>>584725595I love sword of the stranger but it's almost purely visual spectacle, the writing is nothing special at all.
>>584725446How do you explain the 5 other dogshit heroes we got alongside her?
>>584725589New york wasn't niggerhell in '49?
can't wait for harrow to get the same treatment as violet and she ends up having millennium tier writing so harrow fags can shut the fuck up
>>5847255891950 isnt 1750 retard no ones getting lynched for no reason
>>584725686People use magic in universe my guy
>>584725532Make him actually African
You gotta get whatever retard pushed Celeste and Violet off the team.These characters ruin other better characters just by talking to them.
>>584725737people get lynched for no reason now, wtf are you talking about lol
>>584725714no it was 90%+ white just like every major city in muttmerica before their 1960s collapse
>>584725589What the fuck are you talking about, in the 50s NYC was like 20% black
>asian libtard art major that smokes weed and attends political rallies and hates their parrentsits accurate at the very least
>>584725589>>584725714niggers have been in nuh yawk since forever and the ritual ist a select cast of miscreants and not a good representation of the general population.
>>584725686Just assume everyone knows some magic.
>>584725383>solomon>good voice actingHe's got a nice voice but the actual VA delivers every line extremely flatly. Same for Violet (minus the nice voice part)
>>584725289>Her wish is beyond stupidYeah, I read her story expecting something a little interesting and the entire thing is "I'm entering this Ritual where I have to kill people and can make a world altering wish just so people will notice my art" Its kind of retarded, and she isn't chuuni/anime enough to make it work with entertaining flare or spectacle..
This is the most fun the thread has been in ages
>>584725624With Solomon he's irritated by how judgmental/honest Solomon is, and also that he lost a game to him for money. It's honestly not bad>>584725663They're not great but I'd err on the side of good for both of them rather than bad. They each have interesting setups for their story and motives for participating in the ritual
>>584725589Infernus isn't black he's a demon
>>584725729You seem to be under the impression that if Harrow ends up to be like Mercy in OW, people will stop (rightfully) ripping into Violet's writing That's a stain that won't be removed for a looooong time
>>584725847>>584725861why are you lying? it was barely 10% black and they weren't allowed to have white people jobs
Ok, so like, Violet's ult is absolute dogshit right? Like what the fuck does it do? You get a tiny bit of Spirit power?
>is friends with the likes of BillyShe should be a superficial, entitled "artist" who only cares about vibes, her social standing as a "rebel" and the potential fame and attention while lacking the discipline and hard work to pull it off. Instead, she seems to be actually talented, driven to become a genuine artist and respected by the rest of the cast.
>>584725421only for doggy knots
So do all artists in this universe just have magical powers?How does this shit work?
>>584725991kill yourself

>>584725953>not a good representation of the general populationSo new york was majority black? What? Why are you disagreeing without reading the post?
>>584725663>>584725906Graves is weaker than Paige imo just because she acts too "modern" but otherwise I don't dislike her.
>>584725216>Celeste is a biological woman with a drippy winking mare pussy*ftfy
Archetypes we need>Homo thug>Drill rapper from London>Shounen protagonist
>brooo why are you so heckin' toxic man y'all suck The reddit twitter Violet defence force is running on all cylinders. How dare you give feedback to a beta game.
>>584725737You're a fucking retard then because I've had a literal cross burned in my family's yard because an aunt of mine brought home a nigger without telling anyone.
>>584725906Graves is literally the second worst, behind Violet.
>>584725676You could ask the same thing about Solomon.
>>584725890It really feels like they've started giving less of a shit about giving characters a motive for being in the ritual. I miss when there was more weight to that aspect in some interactions, like Abrams confiding in Pocket about how dangerous the situation is and that even he is kinda scared of it
when will aoeslop end im so tired
>>5847260271 in 10 and they worked nigger jobs like shoe shiner not bartender
>>584725676Hey wait where's Solomon's power come from either? Who the fuck is writing this shit and forgetting the one gimmick that every character has is some occult item or nature
>Dear Violet, normally, I would take this opportunity to needle at your insecurities and doubts as an individual.>However, there is nothing of value that could be said to or about you, or your work, please leave immediately.
>>584723205post it anyways
>>584725979>Do this and give her a hippie/alt girl aesthetic instead of randomly Chineseliterally free money
>>584725991she is... just for big, muscular, handsome doggies with fat, musky, throbbing knots>>584725991god I wish she'd cast it on me
>>584722736Rat King is fun even if he's disgustingly OP and kinda easy to play, he's basically Tf2 Heavy if he wasn't complete shit in his own game.Baba is broken as fuck but could be balanced if they gut her first ability and all of her free stats (lmao spirit resist scaling with spirit power and free debuff resist and you can't be parried)Danny sucked ass but he might be good after the buffs, we'll see. Solomon is kinda lame since he's just more annoying AoE slop to automatically win the only objectives in the game that matter (rift/midboss) and he has the floaty movement Celeste has which is gay.Violet is without a doubt the absolute worst character added to the game. I thought it was Victor or Graves or Celeste but Violet really sets a new low for how fucking bad character designs have gotten in this game.
>>584725979Sorry she's a self insert character she can't have actual flaws
>>584726138Is that actually what Doorman says
>>584725971As weird as it sounds it would be a lot better if it were smaller. You can comfortably fight inside of it without ever touching the outer ring.
>>584725289I feel like she would 100 times a better character if she told Seven she had a secretly lust for power and was going to wish for her art powers to be boosted as far as the patrons could.
>>584725890>>584722630Notice the trend how niggas since OGNB have no real reason to even be thereToo nice to want to kill people (Ritual implies that)Have no big ambitions to justify killing (or dying)Finishing ritual might make world worse and bring rape everywhere and fuckass chink whore wants to risk her life just to get someone to pay her student debts
uh, guys? this bitch was supposed to be our invoker...
>>584726243No it has no line yet
>>584726113>not a good representation of the general populationAre you five? Can you not read? Do you not know what those words mean?
>>584725932i don't really care about people shitting o violet i've been shitting o violet i just need harrow fags to stop being smug
>>584726106>>584726119I had actually not read Solomon's bio as I just assumed it was a magical chess board he used to win rigged games or something. I guess Holliday also fits the bill but I think the implication is Doc Holliday's gun is supernatural or she's at least well versed enough to hunt occult being seeing as she's going after one. Or the shtick is she will get annihilated in 0.2 seconds by an elder vampire or whatever the Troubadour is as every character tells her. Lash too, but that's his gimmick
>it ain't me starts playing
>>584726298Ground circle that gives 25 spirit power doe
pitty votes lolenjoy your humilation ritual harrowfags
>>584725729>he thinks it's harrowfagsEVERYONE is ripping Violet apartexcept for twitter fandom troglodytes that want comfort character bullshit
>>584726298She invoked something, that's for sure
Hey, it's Kiri- I mean Violet
>>584725979That's what I'm saying, a big chunk of her character would be fixed if she wasn't an incredibly talented artist.Make her a failure that somehow recently found a magic brush that allows her to cheat good art and she's over the moon with it, wants to join the ritual to "prove wrong" everyone who ever looked down on her with her newfound power, then just fix up the convos so some characters call out her retarded wish and demeanor and boom, you have an interesting character that doesn't feel like a dev pet.
>>584723342Danny actually has some lines that expand the lore a bit but he's mostly just really fucking funny imoRat King and Danny are the two best ones, Harrow might join them to make this an even 50/50 split of Good/Bad additions to the game. Even if Rat King is disgustingly OP he at least is very fitting. Baba's voice acting and lines are kinda bland, Solomon is whatever, Violet is horrendous.
>>584726320Niggers wouldn't be allowed near the occult in the 50s misfits or not
What do I build on GT and is he good? I'm getting bored of my current roster and want to expand my pool
>>584725890>>584726109They've really sanded all the grit out of the setting with this last couple content drops. Before the ritual was this terrifying death battle only the extremely desperate, battle desperate or criminal would join to murder each other. Even the few exceptions like Dynamo or Infernus had a legit reason and their powers are a big part of their lore. Everyone has a gun even though magic is a thing because it's still "the real world"Then they just started adding whatever, kids and teenagers with random magic they just happen to have, who have seemingly never been in a fight in their entire lives but are expected to gun down people with their "not guns". All because they want to "prove themselves" or "get home" or "get some attention"
>>584726465KWAB
I wonder how bard Violets recrption is gonna make yoshi pivot lmao
I don't care about the lore, the gameplay for the new characters just hasn't been that interesting>Rat King is a very straightforward character>Baba's an anti-spirit brawler in a game where that's not even really a needed playstyle>Solomon's cooldowns means he's too slow to keep up with most fights and has to CC you to hell to actually hit you with his bishops>Danny just does whatever, I don't know what his role even is>Violet's gimmick is putting terrain down but it's all very boring terrainI can give them credit that none are as horribly clunky as Sinclair but I don't find any of them aside from maybe Danny particularly interesting. He's the only one I might queue up in street brawl when I want to just turn my brain off and play a fun chatacter
>>584722360It's 4han, they will bitch about anything. I really like her too. I do slightly agree that all the lines praising her are a bit meh but I'm sure Valve will add more. I can't see someone like Mina or Vindicta thinking of her anywhere on the same level as them. Seven being semi nice to her is already a bit concerning though, I wonder if he knows something about her.
>>584726465>Hey, It's Kiri-Lun- mean VioletFTFY
>>584725663I like that Graves is actually totally fucked. She keeps acting like a disaffected youth ignoring everyone's advice while being literally groomed by an ancient being that is almost certainly going to destroy her at some point. She's like if Geist didn't know what the fuck she was getting into. Lots of characters do the "pshaw you don't know me!" thing but she's the only one where everyone else is definitely right.
>>584726546>Before the ritual was this terrifying death battle only the extremely desperate,Stopped reading right thereParadox is a joke character who wants to steal everyone else's wish because "le ebin nothing we can't seal"
I was so excited for Violet I changed my profile picture on Discord to her.Her kit looks fun, but her personality is just so... dull. She's not interesting, and she fails to actually be anything.If she's desperate for approval, have her be more desperate. If she's scared shitless, have her show it. If she's masking her fear and desperation, actually play into that. But right now she's giving us nothing. She feels to casual about everything, but not even if a confident way that would give her charisma.She's supposed to be an art student, but they didn't go for an actually interesting angle, like making her passionate or obsessive with art. She's just so incredibly vapid and empty. A character can be vapid in an interesting way, but Violet just isn't. Extremely disappointed by her.
>>584722234Imagine if Danny's wish is literally just to ride a nuke big enough to destroy all of Ixia all the way down to the ground. (it also takes out Israel by complete accident)

>>584724649I'm lazy so I am just going to vibe code it, but it shouldn't be hard to use the game's voice mute logic to let you selectively mute only Violet.
>>584726546They even soft retconned that niggas actually die during ritualNow characters say shit like "after ritual" like it's weekend football game and they don't just kill at least 6 people and break their shit, they just break the patron and all the guys are okay after that, no bad blood, buddy
>>584724820so they actually put miscegenation shit in this game?makes me want to vomit
the skeleton was easily the best addition of any of these 6 so far.solomon is good, rat is alrightbaba and violet a shit
Come to think of it, Neither Solomon the Nigger nor Violet the Chink Whore are given ANY explanation for their powers. Baba is a witch, Danny is a resurrected corpse selling products, Rat King was created by the Maelstrom, Harrow is supposedly an angel, but these two? They just happen to use magic I guess?
>>584725471her hair is so shit
>>584724564I think I commissioned porn from this artist. Who drew this?>>584725689No, it has some pretty decent writing and visual metaphors, though the best one is at the very end where the MC finally takes the sheathe off of his blade to represent him having a reason to live again and thus not have to shackle himself to his past, quite literally. It is not some epic deep analysis, but it does a good job of having a solid plot with some good beats to it while having great action.
>>584726294There's plenty of heros with weak ambitions before OGNB.>bebop>calico>holliday>infernus>ivy>paige (half the cast is able to give her clues about her brother but dont)>paradox>shiv>victor>vyper>warden>wraith
>>584726474They could easily have kept the "wildly succesful for her age" part even as is and just changed the closing paragraph to the fact that she made some sort of pact for success as a kid and now it's coming time to collect. Hell, copy Shadowrun's Yama Kings for Chinese flavor and do the 13 years of good fortune and then it fucking eats your soul. She can keep the tired student act as she's been harried by a demon thingy and she has a reason to be in the ritual to wish herself free
>>584726357Godspeed then because all Harrow would have to do is not be as terribly written as Violet is and the smugness will never go away
>>584725887I think that is somewhat fitting for a chess player, still. Deadlock still has yet to reach the same level of voice acting as Dota 2, but Violet is a massive step in the wrong direction, while Solomon is neutral.
>>584722690Harrow is OnlyFans
>>584727117I'd fuck that thing.
>>584726710NTA but there's definitely less grit to it, and it feels like we've drifted far from the wish concept when we've gotten multiple characters by now who have no real reason to be in the ritual or feeling like they're tough enough to actually be in it. Rem's even worse than Violet in that way, but the ritual doesn't feel important when you've got guys like Drifter or Doorman who are just there for fun, feels like there's no stakes compared to when Seven felt like the big bad of the setting before he got demoted to gay guy sitting in a sewer criticizing Mina's fashion sense
>>584725185>>584725276Your character is objectively garbage, and you wasted your time and effort fighting tooth and nail to convince people otherwise. I understand you're suffering from sunk cost and feel the need to defend your decision at all costs, but there's still plenty of time to accept you fucked up.

>>584728225Based.Also now that all mods are broken again I gotta wait for updates...
>>584726875Well I think they say "after the ritual" implying they will win.As far as I know only the winners will live but those who lose die, because death during the ritual, their patron is what brings them back (respawn) to keep fighting. With no patron, no revive. But yes, I hope they go back to OGNB or earlier type or writing, even though I know OGNB had its own issues like that, it wasnt as pronounced.
What's involved in a fertility ritual?
