Here to fuck around
>Victor
Wants to find out who made him and why, along with identifying his body parts. Reasonable wish.

Wants to go home. Understated but fine.

Not enough information to make a judgement.

Not enough information/diet Warden. Reasonable-ish.

Wants to find her missing brother. Reasonable enough.
>Graves
Lich hand grooming her.
>Celeste
Le Lenny.
>Apollo
Not enough information.
>Rat King
Wants to conquer long Island. Not like he can do that without a Patron.
>Danny
Same deal as any other character who wants their particular faction to succeed.
>Baba
Here to fuck around.
>Solomon
Here to fuck around.
>Violet
No justifiable reason whatsoever.
I feel like people overstate the problem a little bit. Its really Solomon and Baba (and now Violet)

Play up her being an impoverished hippie tortured artist in way over her head with a massive ego. She's had to struggle all her life while always failing. Most of the character conversations should acknowledge some flaw of hers. She should also be more anti-establishment and dislike Danny - Billy but much less crude. Completely cut out the shit with her parents, it's boring and cliche. Her parents should be dead if anything.
Also change her ult to be more deranged and use the demon painting in some way.

>>584736524
She is, but she's in that "teenager that thinks she knows better but is actually in over her head" phase. Her being a cringe tryhard is the point of her character.

Extremely positive response to Mina and Graves caused this by the way. Valve heard loud and clear the community wanted a cute college age girl every new cycle of heroes so they added another one out of obligation. And surprise surprise she's a typical collage art girl just like people responded well to with Mina and Graves. Except this time they screwed up and took out every potential bit of spiciness she could have had and played her completely straight instead of making her a spoiled bitch like Mina or a dumbass goth like Graves.

Valve must have known something was wrong with Violet the instant she lost second to Baba. Mina had to be put in instantly because she would have steamrolled the first vote no contest and Graves only lost out to the mascot character. Her design isn't appealing and her character is even worse. At least the kit is relatively inoffensive.

least amount of change: Make her a heel. Her wish is entirely self centered. She's going to kill people to get clout for her already successful art carrier and acts all "smol bean I'm so scared guys this is so dangerous". The only reason characters aren't calling her insane is because she's some dev's favorite.

I dont understand why they needed to force in the usual asian american meme tropes

Violet is already an artist
Focus on her obsession with making a masterpiece to the point that shes willing to kill for it
Or sell her soul to the devil to the point that she loses sight of the beauty of art

There
Her character is fixed
No parental drama
No impostor syndrome

You dont need anything else

>>584736123
My suggestion: Make it so that she was a genuinely good but wholly unrecognized and struggling immigrant artist whose parents had little faith in her choice of career. In a twist of fate, however, she ended up being a natural at the arcane arts, and her use of magic ended up being the "secret sauce" that she needed to actually make her works stand out. However, as she started getting notoriety, her works got acclaim, and she was accepted into exclusive colleges, she felt massive imposter syndrome due to needing the arcane arts to do what her peers could do with their own "natural" talents. This ended up festering until she wound up hating her own magical abilities, even if she still needed to use them to have a foot in the art world. After hearing about thew Ritual, she attended it with a single wish in mind: get rid of her magic for GOOD in exchange for becoming a master of the arts.
This way you get to keep her le quirky sarcastic liberal arts girl schtick while ALSO giving her an edge she's sorely lacking (hiding self-loathing behind a big layer of irony). It'd bolster her relationship with Billy because they bonded over something she genuinely feels passionate about (progressive causes) and honestly it'd ALSO make Seven's glaze of her abilities make more sense because he'd instead be like "you're a great painter and a great mage, trading one for the other is fucking retarded when you can just keep getting better at both" because it's been shown that he's not averse to recognizing the strengths of those he's around even if he considers himself better.

More like have her be the Ellis of Deadlock. Her current motivation is she is entering the ritual to get her name out there, as she says talent doesn't matter as much as who you know or who knows you.

So her lines should be referencing all of the art stunts she did to get her name out there. They can even reference real world art retardation like banana taped to the wall. That way joining the ritual is the final act of a desperate artist who tried everything first, rather than just a nothing story that goes from doing nothing to doing a murder ritual.

>she shows it to other people, not knowing that they would affect people that way, like passing them around in underground artist circles and hitting her friends and maybe family with them
>her wish is to erase the existence and memory of a cursed set of paintings to cure the afflicted people
so instead of being... whatever the fuck she is right now, she hates her past and all the stupid shit she did back then because she wanted approval from that wrong crowd of fucked up AWCY?-tier faggots, she would act way more tortured and sombre (this also would fit the VA better imo), understanding that she made many mistakes and wants to make up for them and find a new path in her life

I've noticed something while researching Violet reactions online, especially on Twitter
>bro why are you so toxic don't bully Violet she didn't do anything to you don't be so negative
Why are they acting like those fictional characters are real people that you're hurting? They're fake creations of developers. By criticising them it implicitly targets the REAL people at Valve that wrote and designed them.

Dear Gabe,

I hope this finds you well, but I’m interested in something recent that has occurred in one of your newer games; this game being titled “Deadlock”.

In it, there is a character named “Violet”, who is an artist. However, there are several problems with this character’s writing from a simple observation. Many people within the community share these criticisms:

Firstly: Her characterization is unlikable. Her bio tells us she’s got a full ride to art school and a place in MoMA’s Upstart Gallery, but her entire motivation is a fear of not being seen. She isn’t fighting for anything or anyone, just for more exposure, and her dialogue does nothing to really make up for that. The clearest example is her kill line on Paige: “She’s like me if I was white and more neurotic.” This line reduces another character to her race and a pop-psychology label, and it tells us nothing about Violet other than that she is the kind of person who would say it.

Secondly: She does not sound like she belongs in the setting. Deadlock takes place in the 1940s, yet lines like the one above, or “the government doesn’t give a shit about what I paint” in her exchange with Seven, read like something from a modern group chat. Her conversation with Seven is actually one of her better moments, since she holds her ground. But even then, a lot of her lines read like contemporary deadpan, rather than someone who actually has a life in the Cursed Apple.

Other heroes in the roster have their flaws, but they have charm or depth to them that helps balance them out. Violet mostly has a very-modern, misplaced attitude, and given how strong the writing is for the rest of the cast, she stands out. I would very much like to see her receive another pass.

Thank you sincerely for your time.

Sincerely,
ANONYMOUS


is this good?

Right, so why is she calling Graves out for being a generically disaffected teen because her parents neglect her, when Billy has absolutely no good fucking reason to be so vehemently anti-establishment and has nothing constructive to do with his rambling but apparently this isn't a problem for Violet at all? She's calling Graves shallow while being friends with a guy who has all the depth of a thimble.

I was actually thinking they rigged the votes so they can have more time to rework Harrow. I didn't see a single Violet voter in my games. It wouldn't be surprising because Violet feels unfinished and hastily made, and there are even anons datamining that she was actually supposed to be Invoker.

See, she calls Graves shallow because she's a woman. But Billy doesn't get the same criticism because she wants to fuck Billy.

the more character releases, the less the ritual matters as a whole.

So what -actually- went wrong with Violet. Did the did devs overcompensate with trying to make normie bait, did they run out of time, or the worst case scenario...legit rogue writer hit us with the self insert? Obviously the rogue writer one is nearly impossible to prove, since the majority of Valve staff stay anonymous.

I see it as he is trying to intentionally limit himself to what a magically adept but otherwise normal human could theoretically do in order to keep up the humble servant roleplay he has going.

And I like her with a massive ass and a flat chest. We can both exist, you just need to pass your turn

i think violet is pretty fun so far based on the 1 game ive actually gotten to play her and i like her design but holy shit whoever wrote her backstory/dialogue needs to be taken outside and shot

I remember anons complaining about how Solomon isn't bleeding in his critical. I think this is more suiting. It's an "the nignog's plans fell through and he knows using his 5head brain that he's going to fucking die" expression, fitting for a "smart" character.

Solomon kinda makes sense because he's a very old wise guy who is friends with a lot of powerful people because of his skill in chess and even though it isn't explained it would make sense to think that he learned magic from some of them.
But why does Violet have paint magic?

Venator isn't there to do something blasphemous like asking for a wish, he's there to kill the patron and leave

He's in the ritual on orders from the Vatican
So he's the same as Haze and Paradox where we don't know their wish

I'm thinking some combination of this is what actually happened. I'm surprised they ran out of time, when it seems like they're still having pacing issues while developing, even though they have massive amount of Valve resources?

They updated the map and then released this hero batch so if this is what the future of Deadlock will look like design and lore-wise, it SUCKS.

It's not a match. Its supposed to be an occult demon summoning ritual for fucks sake stop watering down the setting.

Mina was never that bad
She's a bratty rich socialite in over her head. That's a real noir archetype.
Plus she has an actual gun and not handwavy magic bullshit.

NTA, but he literally is.
A magical negro is a black character with powers who uses those powers to help white people.
Solomon's entire character can be summarized as
>chess player
>magic chess powers
>has no motivation other than to like chess and enjoy watching other people from all walks of life
He's the sort of guy who would tell you how to solve your problems while you play chess with him. That's all he does, day in day out.
