>>584764752her voice is that of a redneck methhead it's likable and based VA don't get me wrong among the best in the gamenothing sexy about it thowhich is why p much only an incel like billy wants to fuck vyper despite her hitting on the whole cast violet voice sucks though, too deep, but at least she's visually cute n hot
>>584764769Why does she have gray skin?
ngl bros, the game was better before yoshi added these new characters
>white hero is last
Can you guys stop being racist towards asians?
I know this thread is mostly full of people who dont play the game because infernus is way more annoying in game, I hope they atleast get him a new voice actor
>>584764893The best for last always.
McGinnis is gonna get fully mogged by Harrow and I will not be able to actually play Ginns because Harrow will just be way the fuck better and Ginns will never be improved. And Im actually very sad about that.
>>584764840Trust in the nurse and her era accurate leeches and hopefully other horrible medical procedures
Remove all the female voters, foids should never have been given the right to vote.
can't wait for these batch of new players leave my matches have been dubious at best
>>584764837it's a super skintight suit
>>584764584Think of it like the difference between Vyper and Silver.Silver is supposed to be a hot mess who has no control over her life, but the only vibe anyone ever gets from her is a cool, confident and blasé bounty hunter woman who doesn't give a shit about anything. Vyper is the real hot mess who says embarrassing shit, humiliates herself and actively demonstrates that she's a fuck-up.If Violet is supposed to be a pretentious and self-absorbed art student, they need to actually play it up like they played up Vyper. As it stands, she's just another cool and aloof girlboss in the same vein as Silver. Violet needs more exaggeration and to be a little more larger than life, in order to make her "negative" traits anything other than boring.
>>584764893>ratkingrat>babajewish she speaks yiddish>solomonblack>dannywhite probably from the color of his mustache and voice>violetasian>harrow white
Is he the scariest character in the game?
Need cosplayers to goon for
The valve character of horrible writing
>>584765041unironically why did drifter say this, why is he glazing her
>>584764914?? His voice is fine, what are you even on about? He's an older dude that mellowed out. Is it just because he's colored (as they would say in the era)
>>584765016>ratking>a literal fucking ratHe's also Jewish
>>584765041okay but it does make sense for drifter to have a soft spot for artists and to have posivibes sometimesnot everything needs to be so dark and moody all the time
>>584765041Unless the reading is Drifter mocking Violet with a sarcastic tone this is genuinely some of the worst dialogue in game
>>584764909trvthasians are honorary aryansusually its mostly indians and turks and the like that hate them because they're upset everyone calls them arabs and indians and not the prestigious title of "asian" reserved for our aryan nippon/china/korea brothers
>>584765017>spooky skeleton>employed>white10/10 on the scare factor
I will now play your ASSFAGGOTS slop
I am honestly just disappointed with Violet not in the melting screeching type of way from her being a boring art hoe. but because i expected a bit more from valve. there was so so much potential here if they just gave her a bit of sauce. her poster gave some promise to it but instead we got what we got. i really hope they take the heavy criticism to heart and not just chuck it off to butthurt chuds.give me era appropriate Violet doing traditional arts.
>>584765063Anon..... this line isnt real Anon.
Violet is such a fucking boring character how the fuck does anyone like her? Is it just contrarianism?
I'm sad she didn't win bros
>>584764837French>>584765091Indians are asians, chang, you're both brown
Any artists in here? Am I wrong or does her art look kind of mediocre? The composition, pose and silhouette feel kind of stiff and boring.
IM TIRED OF ASIAN FUCK MEATWHERE IS THE BLONDE BLUE EYED BIMBO
>>584765041>thank you drifter>im gonna murder rape you and paint my jacket in your blood.fixed
>>584765187they removed her under eye bags or makeup or whatever it was in latest patch
>>584765226its just a screenshot of the 3d model
>>584765138Please don't, reddit tourist, we have too many dogfucking zoophiles as is. Instead consider killing yourself.
>>584765187hnngg
>>584765187she will have the best kit in the batch
>>584765041Nurse Harrow leaked dialogue >"Your brain is so unique Violet. I should keep in a jar because its so creative and intelligent and cool. Your art is the real healing of this world!"
>>584765140Honestly her tags having "creative" is the biggest letdown considering she might have the single most dull kit of the new characters except rat King. One of them is "I look at you and you take damage."
>>584765226She's painting their silhouette
>>584765190indians are indiansturks/persians/whatever are arabsSEA are jungle monkeysasians = only china/korea/japan violet is aryan
>>584765230I think Violet, racks disciprine
>>584765228I wish Swan came backWe needed a russian ballet dancer
>>584765187>the Jews of deadlock (women) didn't want you to have this
>>584765091asians are not honorary aryans, japs are
get me the fuck out of sentinel aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
>>584765190>FrenchPardon?
>VIOLET, THE CAR YOUR FATHER BOUGHT YOU AS YOUR BIRTHDAY PRESENT WAS THE WRONG COLOR. SUMMON ME AND WE WILL PAINT THIS CITY RED WITH HIS BLOOD.
>>584765304this asian-american ""aryan"" would hate your guts IRL btw
>>584765359games like this happen in e6 as well
violet fans are the dark souls 2 fans of the new characters serviceable character mostly bland with some redeeming qualities but their fans have a persecution complex and swear to go the new character is good but people refuse to acknowledge it
how 2 ivy
>>584765063>>584765086>>584765090>>584765246>>584765293>falling for AI edit
>>584765403women don't know what they're saying, they act on feelings, like little kids you can subjugate violet with a simple BWC
>>584765226Its actually quite impressive if you look at the size of brush she's using to get that fine of detail, and how long it takes her to do that from scratch

>MUH BLONDE BIMBOSilver already exists you retards
>>584765523e' wuz a big boy naow wazzn't e'?
Violet feels like a second gen ABC immigrant from late 2010s being isekai'd into 1940sIt wouldnt even be out of character for her to carry iphone in game
What's up with the X on hazes forehead?
drifter is heckin PURE EVIL but he would NEVER EVER EVER EVER RAPE his victims or hurt childrenwe can't have that now ya hearhe has principlesno one complains about this btw
>>584765041Drifter should be written like picrel. He would fake being friendly with Violet only to get close to her and rape and kill her in the end. Like a true genuinely evil person would do.
>>584765471just word your criticism in the right way senpai>violet has very little personality in her visuals, in her backstory and in her voicelines, she's very bland in comparison to other heroesfine>the only people who like violet are gooners who wanted a generic gacha slop hero in deadlock they just want a generic asian waifu to goon over violet is just a bland gook bitch and that's why everyone is gooning all over herbit sussy
>>584765721i'm not sure drifter is even sexualhe's been alive for fucking eons as a vampire
>>584765683this but unironically.... kiling is fine but rape isn't
>>584765657mark of the Beast, mandatory for glownigger inoculation
So whoare the yoshi(icefraud) heroes and the hopoo heroes this batch?Rat King is an icefraud 100%
>>584765683>yeah I kill for fun>yeah I rip people's throats out with my hands>yeah I suck blood out of your ass and feast on your organs>HECKIN' RAPE!? OH NOOOO NO NO NO NOT THAT THAT'S INAPPROPRIATE
>>584765683>>584765791what do you get out of rape being written into the story
>*sleeps you*>*slowing hexes you*>"RUN COWARDS"Your response?
>violet got mikaels to hop back on the game againchink pussy is that good?
>>584765683would you fuck the raw chicken before you cook and eat it? if you say no, why not? is that where you draw the line with your principles?
>>584765779Solomon?Icefraud.Danny?Hotpoo.Baba?Potentially Icefraud but also Hotpoo.Violet?Her Invoker version was Icefraud but they scrapped it so Hotpoo.
>>584765812it shows drifter is actually evil and not an astroturfed char to appeal to redditors le heckin evil char... doesn't do evil thingshe's quite principled actually, doesn't hurt kids either and is nice to the chars drifter is basically the weird heckin wholesome uncle evil chars are not allowed to exist in media like this, it pisses me off drifter is the one char thats SUPPOSED to be evil, but he's not evil at all
>>584765657it's where i insert my member if you catch my drift
Man is it just me or is the quality spread all over the place this patchRat King has a whole bunch of charm and soul with his personality and general design and voice linesBaba is middling old lady shit, not great not terribleSolomon is the most bland representation of "wise chess nigga" I could have conceived ofDanny is over the top and kinda one-note but still pretty funnyViolet is the most insufferable millenial chink art hoe, like Paige but with none of the charmI have a hunch Harrow is actually going to be interesting because she's going to be designed as a character, which will mean an almost perfect 50/50 split of Good Design and Middling Dogshit
>>584765898FUCKKK IMAGINE SILVER ANNIHILATING THAT ASIAN PUSSY WITH HER HUGE FUTA BWC brb fapping
>>584765812I get dissonance from seeing a bloodthirsty mass murderer who kills innocent people for fun be heckin' wholesome with others>SHE IS 17 YEARS 364 DAYS 23 HOURS AND 59 MINUTES OLD I WON'T RAPE HER AND FEAST ON HER INSIDES NO NO HECKIN' NO
>Valve decides to ship the Chinese rep with the dog ladyI see you know your cuisine well
>*fixes your haze*
>>584765945i'm actually scared she will just be mean nurse instead of the angel stuff they're teasing
anyone find any interesting cooldown reduction synergies with violet 1? so far i only really find it useful for mystic shot and the obvious counterspell/dispel magic
So has anyone here actually used Violet's m2? For anything?I think I onky used it to block off a path once.
>>584766006I'll be scared stiff regardless
>the murderhobo cannibal isn't evil unless he also rapes peoplePorn has ruined millions
>>584766007it works on recharging rush's cooldown too
>>584765283we don't have enough tbdesu
>>584766006Honestly even if she is a one-note character like Danny she'd still probably be more interesting because it'd probably imply something about her personalityAfter five minutes of listening to Violet's voice lines I feel like I know enough about her to know that I don't want to learn anything else
>I wish people would stop shipping silver with celeste!>
when are they making street brawl actually fun
>>584765683deadlock's vampires are clearly inspired by the world of darkness vampires, 90% of vampires don't bother having sex because drinking blood feels way more pleasurable
>play street brawl>2 games in a row teammate paige>they both build gun and do nothing, sub 6k damage>go against a paige>they build full spirit and supportam i cursed
>>584765812idk ask women, they love mentioning that they got raped 20 years ago and make it their whole personality
>>584766047You can create ramps kindaDraw swastikas or penises in the skyline
>>584765881So literally just replacing one instance of kill with rape shows he's evil and not his entire play style being killing isolated people that can't fight back, or every other line being about how much he loves murder for its own sake?Honestly if anything they should get more graphic in describing how much he genuinely loves and gets thrills from the act of taking life.
>>584766005I might have to start playing haze when this comes out...
>>584765881Just because I love food doesn't mean I want to eat bugs you degenerate freak
>>584766185next tweet"gang i was raped while solo hiking"
>>584766185>rapeversary
>>584765187I'm sad she didn't win x5
>>584766185>Got raped on a solo hike>Every year afterwards goes on a solo hikeLook I'm not saying women are retarded but no wait that's exactly what I'm saying
FUCKING REMOVE THIS CHARACTER AAAAAAA
>>584766079>le murderhobo cannibal is a heckin' aroace
>>584766091thats nice but you dont buy that on her
>>584765683I feel like Drifter wouldn't enjoy eating children for the simple reason that he likes some kind of challengeI also feel like he wouldn't rape his victims because he's just not interested in that shitSort of like Seven's line about being indifferent to murder
>characters just have supernatural powers without being an occultist, being a supernatural creature, having some magical artifact or being a glow nigger now
What the fuck do we do aftwr Harrow?
why is everyone with sub 200 hours an animal that doesn't know what anything does
>>584766302A lot of actual murderers who are THAT fucked in the head kind of are because they don't view people as "real" things and are turned on by the act of murder and gore itself. It'd be like getting horny and jacking off to a couple rocks beside each other that kind of look like boobs.
now that the dust has settled, is the artist op or balanced just fine?
i dont understand how these type of people exist. like how autistically unaware of the environment and job you are in that you push so much for your tactless self insert OC to be in such a stylized game. like its on the level of those retards drawing themselves standing next to anime MCs or something and writing 100 page fanfics while pretending it totally makes sense in universe, except here you are sneaking that shit into a commercial product.
why is it so tempting to press the "get parried and die" button?
>>584766292With the amount of mental illnesses Violet got, I think it would be time appropriate to send her into mental asylum
>>584766462>why do people who havent played a lot of this complex game suck at playing the complex game
Stones and glass houses o algo
>>584766549big damagefeel goodbig thwackunga bunga brain love whackgambling feel of if it works it's great. it'll work next time. this time for sure. it'll work. they won't parry. i'm gonna cast whack.then you get parried and feel like shit because it didn't work and now you die
>>584766549See chunk come off health bar, ook ook, monkey brain feel good.
>>584766572>this game>complexhow many rivals babs do we have....
how would YOU fix Violet by adding something to her rather than just redesigning her? because realistically they are not going to give her a full rework but adding some specific aspects or removing mild stuff could very much happen. (aka the removed Billy voicelines where he breaks the 4th wall)
Remember the chungus era of deadlock?Well, chuds killed it
>>584766678I think they've painted (heh) her into a cornerShe's too much of an insufferable whore to be redeemedLike you could fuck with her skills any number of ways, but personality wise? Screwed
>>584766726literally nobody remembers that because it was never there
>>584766726Clearly not since the quirk chungus rat got in first
>Videogame drama
>>584766185
How the fuck is she whining about student debt she got a full ride
>>584766185Wasn't there a community note saying she was the rapist?
>>584766678Don't add stuff to her, add stuff to other characters like they did with Shiv. He went from "Handsome bastard (allegedly)" to "You're never going to be forgiven for basically being Drifter 2, you handsome bastard." Her personality doesn't even need to change, just have the rest of the world treat her like it does everyone else in the cast: meanspirited
>>584766817KEK
I wonder how much of violet's insufferability is her surface aesthetic and her voice?Like her outfit is dumb as hell and her voice is overly deep and breathy and sounds awkwardImagine if she sounded like Mei Ling from MGS and looked slightly less boyish and had a cuter outfitI think if you changed those things, even if you kept her entire personality, she'd be less hateable
>>584766817>5 minutes ago, I was violently assaulted and raped while farming jungle
>>584766817>>584766904KEK
>>584766678I've come to terms with the fact that the haters were right and she's just Overwatch style "break in case of emergency" yellow fever bait. Whenever blizzard has any controversy or loses steam they just release another girl who looks identical to DVA and all the cucks come flocking back regardless if she has any personality or interesting mechanics, Valve would be insane to not tap that kind of power.
>>584766726>vocal behavior of literally like 5 randoms in a pub match/public post that got zero attention.>"oh my god bro this WHOLE community is fucking horrible! literally every single member of it is exactly like this its insufferable, do better!!!"i hate how common this shit is nowdays. Goomba fallacy times a million.
>>584766678unfuck her backstory and give a real motivation to be in the ritual, re-record the bottom 10% of her annoying voicelines, fix her character interactions(she doesnt need to epically own seven with her trademark zillenial snark etc)
>>584766535paint wall breaks LOS so it makes towers and many ults useless with a simple right click, also fucks with minion wavessplatoon brush has literally unlimited duration so she gets to slide all the way down the damn map and means its impossible for her to mistime her lane poke her 3 is geist tether but with a stun which is extremely fucking annoying for any character to deal with given the new map designaoe slop ult #50859238 6509absolutely garbage design, giga unfun to fight against. non-interactive at all. i haven't even mentioned her autoaim projectile because of course all the characters like this need fucking homing projectiles if they aren't instead just comically huge like paige
>>584766678Either make her a Painted Demon pretending to be human that got too deep into the act and wishes to become a real girl (trans allegory to give trannies a dedicated character)Or make her some sort of a portrait that came to life and wishes to find out the truth about herself, "Mysterious Disappearance of Sally-Anne Perks" style.
>>584766005Please tell me this is a mod...
Imagine if violet had been a cute mousy chinese girl with splatoon magic
>>584766291>Something traumatic and statistically incredibly unlikely happens to you while doing a basic healthy exercise>You're a retard for continuing to enjoy one of the most simple pleasures on Earth instead of letting fear beat youI'm not saying you're an idiot but you managed to make a woman defensible.
>>584765842I dash and then teleport away because she used slowing hex (3.5s(2.6s)) before ulting so she wasted the entirety of it
where is this nigga?
>you can chain cornerboosts infinitely with violet's 1 if you draw midairhmmmmm that's real movement tech
>>584766817>>584766904AND I WOULD DO IT AGAIN
>>584765721No. The Drifter is his own thing with his own ways. But there is another.
Imagine if violet had been a cute mouse girl who says "cheesed to meet you"
>>584766005wtf i love m1ggers now
>>584765161>ITS NOT REAL!!!!How do you explain this then?
>>584767123Anon if you go for a walk down nigger alley and get raped by a nigger and then every year after you decide "I think it's time for my annual walk down nigger alley" I am GOING to judge you and I am GOING to call you a faggot
>>584767123she literally made an anniversary about the day she was raped and goes out of her way to recreate the situation where it hapened on the day it happened.nobody is saying she should stop exercizing, they're saying immortalizing your rapist is a psychotic move and the exact opposite of moving on you fucking simp
>>584767162He's called the troubador because he makes rap music tho
>>584767003Is going echo on 3 with duration viable? I know that you can pop echo during the channel so it has full uptime
Newshit here.How do i buy these?
>>584766302He's undead.
>>584767162That would be peak.
>>584766430>likes some kind of challengehe kills unsuspecting civilians, not soldiers or fighters RETARD>wouldn't rape his victimsvampires drink blood and have sex, that's literally all they want to do, why wouldn't he rape them
>>584767251He's a vampire, do they suffer from erectile dysfunction?
>>584767250you don't. you just get lucky in the last few rounds of street brawl and maybe get one. you can technically put them in a build to be an asshole but it's not actually a thing
>>584767250Street brawl item, get lucky on the last couple of rounds
>Make broken-as-fuck wall with le paint>Can't pass through it, shoot it, and if you want to be extra trolly, encase players from even playing the game.Nothing personnel, kid.
>>584766678She has no real story hook or reason to be in the ritual. That is a core issue that irreversibly damages the rest of her character. Imagine if Holliday didn't want to catch a serial killer and was just a lost angry cowboy. It would suck. Off the top of my head she sold her soul on crossroads for her ability to paint similar to those old time guitar player stories where they did the same thing. She's in the ritual to get her soul back.
>>584767297>>584767316>Street brawl only itemThanks, i hate it.
Heard some say that Danny is another Sinclair, this true magicianbros? Trying to find a replacement pick for doorman.
INVEST IN VIOLET RIGHT NOWSHES GOING TO BE KINO NEXT UPDATE
>>584767154they put in hours of work (thousands of dollars) for these items only for him to be in the game for... 2 days
>>584767271He's also a vampire that's so fucked in the head and degenerate that normal vampires put a hit out on him on sight. >>584766520
>>584766895Her insufferability is almost entirely because of her behavior and lore. There is no design you could go with that would fix her issues without changing her backstory and behavior as well.
>>584765683>>584766302
>>584767385>Violet Rework next update: She's now invokerReactions?
>>584767271>he kills unsuspecting civilians, not soldiers or fighters RETARDActually just wrong.
>>584766108>>584766005You have to go back.
>>584767408he "loves hearing them scream" so raping while cutting them open is probably his all time favorite
I thought Paradox only stole things of great value. Why did she steal my heart then.....
>>584765721They should just add this guy and have him be real friendly to all the young characters
>>584767459this along with some more egregious modernisms in her lines being cut would vindicate this character for me
>>584766678Make her a failure instead of a temporarily embarrassed prodigy
>>584767271His conversations with Paradox Celeste and Mina paint a picture of somebody who cares about the process more than the results
I hope they unfuck the performance eventually man playing this game when it randomly hits 30fps is so unplayable especially when you're overloaded with all the ults playing at once in late game team fights.
>(aka the removed Billy voicelines where he breaks the 4th wall)what was this again
>>584765187i feel like something must be fundamentally wrong with my brain because i don't think lipstick is attractive
>>584767214It's a hiking trail near a beach.>>584767228I skimmed over the anniversary part honestly. But that's not exactly what the dude was complaining about or I was giving him shit for either. Like look at the post above you, nigger, where he's comparing going on a hike to walking down alleys in detroit.
>>584767605I didn't think it was attractive until I hit 30, then I saw the truth
>>584767596https://deadlock.wiki/Billy/Voice_lines#Removed/Unused_Voice_Lines
>>584767596Billy has a lot of post-death voicelines where he complains about the character that killed him the way a player would.
>>584767568my game would freeze every ~5 mins for 1-2 seconds after 1 match and then they fixed it and now after the danny patch it's happening again it's FUCKING annoying
>>584766005>sleep darts you when shes in heat just so she can rape you and steal your seedUmm... glowies are based?
>>584765140They literally added a Chinatown this update. You could have so much interesting aesthetic choices with an early 20th century Chinese character but instead we got a writers insecure modern self insert. Like imagine if Yamato was a kawaii pop idol that carried a sword as a hobby.
>>584767605it smells gross too
>>584767523Okay bro, I'm not even fucking with you here or trying to bait I'm sincerely curious. Be real with me. What's got you so hooked on this rape thing? You're not even the first guy I've seen that insists on rape HAVING to be in the game
>>584767675im turning 29 in a few months and i can't see my mindset suddenly changingi can understand light usage but the deep dark red like Harrow has is just ugly to me
https://deadlock.wiki/Generic_Female/Voice_linesShe is more interesting than VioletGrim
>>584765957just finished my fap to futa silver x violetlots of cumgonna do a mini shower washing it away now
>>584767693It pisses me off because before city sleeps my FPS was consistently 120ish, maybe around 80-90fps in the late game. Now its a miracle if I can get 80fps game startYes it looks pretty but not pretty enough to justify such a jump in performance, this game could have been made in 2015
What does Paradox even want out of the ritual
>still melting because Violet isn't a chainsmoking 40-something Chinese restaurant owner auntie that uses a pan and magically infused fried rice as a weapon and is secretly a hidden Lovecraftian monstrosity that preys solely on men who piss sitting down
>>584767605ok but what about the other kind of lipstick, the one that you can sometimes see under the belly of male dogs
>>584767651>It's a hiking trail near a beach.It's telling the entire internet the exact place you're going to hike, the exact day you're going to hike, and announcing that you're going to be doing it completely alone. You have to realize just how fucking retarded that is, right?
>>584767916a chef character who cooks buffs for her allies wouldve been kino
>>584767902It's the same as any job for her, she's a thrillseeker and a patron's wish is more valuable than any artifact. She regularly risks her life to steal anything valuable and is incredibly overconfident because of her anonymity.
>>584767340Her having no reason except her shitty one could even be fine if it was acknowledged by the game that she's a spoiled retard in way over her head but she hardly catches any flak except like two lines about her being a cliche. Like even Mina should be making fun of her for being a brat.
are there any characters similar to Holliday that aren't too complicated? i really like playing her
>>584767916all you did was make me want a chinese chef character now
>>584767916>Still melting down because people don't like the character you've decided to defend with your life.
>>584768113Based Rat
>>584767971So your other posts said nothing about your actual problem with it and you just think she's a retard for posting it online? Fair enough then, bro, I agree. Just say what you actually mean next time.
>>584767916nothing wrong with that
>>584767701wtf I love Haze now
>>584768113>not calling her a stupid bitchwoke rat
>>584768086if you like raining shit from above and divebombing people to finish them off Danny is right there
>>584768210come on, he is still afraid that she might eat him
>Last character is a battle healerOh boy this has never ever ever ever created annoying gameplay archetypes
>>584768253is his jetpack/overheating hard to manage?
OkayHer least miserable design choice is her visual apperanceThe hat is fucking stupid but her coat seems to have vaguely chinese motifsHaving her wield a brush wand was stupid, I feel like they could've given her some kind of ancient chinese gun that's modified to shoot paint or somethingHer face is overly boyish, she could be tweaked and made much more attractiveHer voice is terrible, too deep and breathy, needs to be higher pitched and perkyGo drag Mina's VA out of storage and tell her to sound racist, she'll do fineHer personality is violently unpleasant, make her more humble and well meaning, either make her interesting and/or likeable, right now she's fucking neither, just an insufferable art ho that may be relatable to other art hos with no fucking tasteYou can keep her fucking lesbian, you can keep her shitty parental ties (although you could do a better job of it) but for the love of fuck she needs an overhauled personalityAs for her kit, it's fine, but someone on the dev team was inevitably like "hey trying to draw a 3D line in 2D space is a miserable problem" and they should have fucking listened to himImagine if she'd had some splatoon bullshit going on where she paints surfaces with stuff, kinda like viscous goo on steroids, I dunnoSo much potential and such absolutely fucking dogshit execution
>>584768303barrier spammers are literally just battle healers but better rn
>>584764909>Only Sinclair makes any mention of Asians>Include him twice
violet is a character designed for the gg fuckin ez crowd
>BEEP BEEP BEEP>WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMyour reaction?
>>584768317She has mental issues, ok?
I will cope for as long as i can that her ult is just temp and the leaked stuff about her drawing different animals is true
Sooo thats it? Thats all violet does?
>>584768317>There actually isNot really, everybody thought she'd be based Baba Yaga the Child Eater masking as human but nah, just a local old witch
>>584768313not really, just hold space if you want to fly, and let go to not overheatand if you want to dive, just hold it until you overheat, that's it
>>584768398>hah! You got something on you mate
A hero can be scared/nervous to be in the ritual if they've got a noble cause to risk their life for it (Viscous, Abrams, Bebop, Celeste, Infernus, etc.), and if they've got a vain cause like money, power or status (Lash, Calico, Mina, Wraith, Seven, etc.) then that arrogance and vanity is reflected in both their lines and other characters' reactions.Violet is supposed to be art student who was fortunate enough to be put through art school and even recognized as talented early on, and yet she's willng to throw it all away for a chance at... free clout? And as she's shaking in her boots before the ritual, almost every character gives her words of encouragement instead of calling out her shallowness?We might not know enough about her motivation yet, but simply gathering exposure for her own art cannot be a prime goal for a character who isn't either extremely self-conceited or insane, and Violet's dialogue shows neither of those traits. But hey, she smokes weed.
>>584768398wait till my food heats up
>>584766005
Can someone pls share the default item build for nurse harrow?
>>584768328her visual design is fine and she's bisexual, it's really the horrible personality (that isn't played off as a negative) and voice acting that everyone except the most obnoxious people exactly like her hate.
honestly out-of-their-depth character would be goodlike someone who doesn't get the level of the stakes and would get absolutely fucked by the patron
>>584766726>game has fun and cool characters>people have fun>devs add a shit character no one except retards like>people shit on it>retards that like said character get upsetThese retards should just leave, they don't belong here.
>>584767916>You mad because *lame character* isn't as cool as *coolest character concept I've ever heard in your life*?Yeah nigga obviously
>>584764840when i first saw the poster i was hoping it was an AI generated fake leakit's just such a step down compared to the first two batches, especially the doorman batchbut somehow the writing made it even worseat least danny is cool. and hopefully nurse will be too
>>584768398*slowing hexes you when you beep at 90%*what now
>no ability or mechanic based on colorsIt's like they didn't even try with her. Someone decided to create a self-insert and the rest of the dev team just gave up on making anything interesting out of her in fear of making the creator mad.
>>584768650Paige, Rem, and Viscous fit this bill. I think if you push any character more out of their depth than that they either wouldn't participate in the Ritual at all, or would die instantly.
Is Violet the beggining of the end of this game's writing or will Volvo correct course?
I didn’t even vote for her but this is the most annoying and obnoxious the community has ever fucking been. It’s nothing but whine whine whine whine fucking whine whine whine. Who the fuck cares if she has boring lore compared to the rest of the cast just please shut the fuck up.
I regret voting for Violet
>>584768867No
>>584768846You've been saying that since Mina
>>584766726lmao i was the infernus
>>584768912I haven't. I didn't even have a problem with Rem when everyone was calling him a chungus.
I wonder if the Violet or Harrow vote got rigged
Why do people get so insanely upset if you say Violet is badly written?
>The rat trying to create his own israel is the best character released so far in this updateI'm sorry for not voting for him RK fans
Violet is growing on me.
>>584768846this has been the case since minayou can tell the game's art direction has been influenced by all the discord trannies and now we have this colorful hazbin hotel style for new heroes that are minorities that struggle with le epic identity issues.
>>584768679One of her biggest failings in concept is that fact that the timeperiod and setting of Deadlock are rife with loads of different artistic movements. Art Deco, Expressionism, Surealism, whatever. Yet the artist character reflects absolutely none of these she is just generic "artist".
>>584768867You ever think about how strange it is that none of the other characters had this level of a reaction? You wonder if there might be some kind of reason why everyone is irritated and wants to voice their concerns and complaints when they didn't feel the need to do so earlier?>please shut the fuck upTurn off your computer and walk away.
>>584768867Yeah, the hero is really obnoxious and annoying so it makes sense the "people" that like her are too.
>>584768867Deadlock fans routinely shat on the character designs of every other hero shooter for having basic bitches but now that we get one that is even more egregious we've all of a sudden crossed a line LOL.
>>584768984trannies unironically mixing their own inability to be wrong with people disliking the new boring character. they cant not defend violet because she's lesbian and thats literally all that matters to them
>>584769086Violet isn't just a problem of design, her writing is also shit. Mina has a ton of flaws, even gets shat on by GT, Infernus and other interactions like Doorman.
>>584768984who says that? everyone here agrees that she is quite literally just a normal guy and that is bad
>>584766005>*fixes your mina too*You're welcome. Nothin personnel.
>Woah, she will be like a demon or something, so cool!>Uhmmm, her being just annoying art student is okay too chud!
Do people think Violet is OP? Some of her kit is strong but honestly outside of the paintbrush cheese and statue buffs, her kit is meh. Not bad, but compared to actual mobile heroes like Mina or Lash she falls shortFor example her slide is cool but it has actual counters compared to Mina's Iframe nigger bullshit.
trvthnuke
>>584769216>who says that?A giant chunk of people on every other platform including the forums
>>584768984There's a certain kind of people that can't help but make fiction into their entire personality, which causes any sort of criticism to their charge to be a personal insult. Think console wars.This mixed with sunk cost making people not want to admit that they wasted a ton of time and effort on something incredibly disappointing and hated and they feel the need to justify themselves to themselves.
im shocked how much reddit hates this, this is the top post on the subreddit
>>584769153you're not allowed to say "violet is literally me" without posting your work
>>584769086the art direction of Six New Heroes is great and it saved the game. The models look good, and Violet isn't an exception. Also, every other character in this patch is good. Violet is the exception here hence the blow up by people calling her out for not fitting in with the game
>>584768867>Who the fuck cares if she has boring lore compared to the rest of the castMost of the cast have boring lore compared to the rest of the cast
Mary Sue character
>>584769324Heres their work
>>584769323yeah hating violet is reddit/troon coded what a surprise
>>584769236her numbers are overtunedher right click is overpowered but people aren't using it much yet my main issue with her is that she has literally everything you could want in a character: damage, CC, movement, teamfight ultand she does all of them really well if she's going to be that well-rounded she needs her numbers reduced
>>584769394Violet is not literally them.
JUST TELL ME THIS, CAN VIOLET BLOCK THE CREEPS LIKE EARTHSHAKER'S FISSURE? THIS IS IMPORTANT
>>584769323Almost every reddit is mostly normal people but the jannies and most frequent posters will be completely insane and have a stranglehold over most discussion (which is why the comments are a battleground of top 1% posters seething)
>>584769439They also said the same about Mina and Reina from Tekken.
>>584768846No?Theres always been one self insert.6 heroes had Paige.OGNB had Graves.This has Violet.There's one femoid writer at Valve that Yoshit can't say no to. So every hero batch she gets hers in.
>>584769439its a tranny
>>584769443yesyou can also block skills like hyperbeam or hookwall off a choke so you don't get chasedit's fissure but better
Are people drawing swastikas with violet yet
>>584769430Ehhh, just make her 2 stam and she's fine honestly since it means she's reliant on her 2 to not instant die when out of position. I was expecting the hero to be way more cancer but nothing can surpass Mina
Violet would be better if she were completely replaced with Hoodwink.
>>584769348Boring lore is miles better than bad lore. Violet has the latter.
Mina has and will always be /our girl/
does violet have any lines about her stinky lunch
>>584769598It's a sad day when I have to agree with Hoodwink schizo...
>>584769518>paige being a self insert>graves instead of celesteare we for realsies right meow
I have an urge to fuck Celeste in her ass. Is this common?
>>584769629mina got the same reaction as violet
>>584769581she is much stronger than Mina currently and probably in lane too
>>584768984They identity with Violet so when people say Violet is a shitty boring person they receive that as "I'm shitty and boring"
If anyone called Violet out for being a privileged bitch crying about how hard she has it the character might've been saved.
Why is Violet's 2 range infinite? You can go from yellow to green with it or loop all around the map in sandbox
>>584768664kek
Starting a mass shitposting campaign because you didn't get the demon nurse three days earlier is insanity.
>>584767459No, give invoker's kit to a cool wizard guy.
>>584769791this, the annoying characters in this game generally get put in their place by the others - but violet somehow gets everyone and their mother to appreciate her and her talent to make character traits disappear...by being a bitch
>Violet has to hate on Lash because he's a chud who DARES to flirt with women>but her being openly horny while drawing the cast is oknoooticing
>>584769841If it had a range limit it would suck ass, even with no max duration it's difficult to get as much value out of as other movement abilities
>>584769926just like real life
>>584768532>almost every character gives her words of encouragement instead of calling out her shallowness?This is honestly the most egregious part about her. She's vain and selfish, and actively goes to summon a demon and kill a bunch of random people in the streets just to maybe be more popular. There isn't a single character in all of Deadlock that would compliment or support this behavior, every single character would either think she's deluded, retarded, or outright psychopathic. But no one is allowed to criticize her in any meaningful way.
>>584769868>shit character gets in>people call the character shit>uuh uumm YOURE SHITPOSTING ITS A CAMPAIGN THERES NO WAY THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE HAVE TASTE STOP HAVING OPINIONS DIFFERENT THAN MY SHIT OPINIONSKill yourself, tranny
so whats the new AGP sissy hero now ? Violet? Paige?
>>584764909i had my fun calling violet voters cattle
The best is behind us, no design will ever top The Doorman's.
>>584769987Even seven a character defined by his snark doesnt do more than call her a cliche
>>584769868Are you lying to us, or are you lying to yourself? Because nobody here buys your shit, but I'm wondering if you even believe your own posts.
>>584770017I guarantee you wouldn't give a damn if Harrow had won.
>If you think the OSIC are the good guys, bro? You gotta wake up and take a look around. Regulation is just a three-dollar-word for hoarding, which is just a two-dollar-word for controlling, which is just a one-dollar-word for asshole!
>>584770101Danny came out earlier this week
There's so much kino shit you can do with violet I don't see this hero surviving the nerfs>Abrams about to ult on you>Draw a roof above you>He hits nothingSaw a guy invalidate a haze by drawing a wall as well funniest shit ever.
>>584770121can you stop lash by doing a wall too?
>>584770172yes
>>584769598Fuck you for being right. I hate your guys but unironcially this would be an improvement over what we got.
>>584770110*dies from cringe* not a single char in this game talks like they're actually from the 50s so niggas should drop that whole "le violet is from modern times" gig
reddit hates violet that means we have to like her now bros, we should now report posts shitting on /our girl/ violet
>>584766185Close Xitter for the love of god
>>584770194GEEZ, I WONDER (((WHO))) IS BEHIND THIS POSTTHE ONLY GOOD GLOWIE IS A DEAD GLOWIE NIGGER DAY OF ROPE IS COMING
>>584770101Harrow is in 2 days
>>584770194People who are super anal about Deadlock's time period are retards, it's just generally inspired by the entire 20th century.
>>584769868I was calling violet boring and a wasted slot from day 1
What character is the most heroic?
>>584769791Genuinely, some of the absolute worst lines she has are with Pocket and Graves
>>584770017trannies are anti violet, check the redditu are the tranny
i just dont like violet because i'm tired of asian-american foid writing all being the same thing every time
>>584768867
>>584765032
>>584770194Billy is funny because he's a massive poser and people reliably give him shit
>>584770109I wouldn't have given a damn if Violet was the first hero we got if she wasn't so goddamn awful. But it turns out she sucks even worse than people thought she would, so now we're mad.
Now that the dust has settled, is /dlg/ ready to admit no one cares about muh lore or muh dialogue and just have fun with their kit?
>lane into violet and solomon>not allowed to play the game at all>no one swappingincredible game design
It makes sense that a lot of people would hate the character that allows for a lot of creative gameplay with her 1st ability.
NEW SCHIZO THEORY:Violet was bumped up from last place because Valve knew she was the weakest hero of the group and didn't want the update to end on a sour note
im so burnt out i cant even whine about violet anymore i just dont give a toss this is what losing looks like the knowledge that violet will bring even more undesirables to the game the next batch mostly consisting of people like her its draining me
>>584770538reddit king is the fan favorite for a reason, even a chimp can play him
>>584770494she has the most fun kit out of the new heroes by far but the retards here aren't ready to admit it yet
>>584770508Why would anyone swap into that lane
>>584768984People suck at giving criticism online so they go for loud and obnoxious repeat phrases instead of actual critiquecalling her an OC self-insert isn't critique, and comparing her to Luna Snow or Kiriko is also fucking stupidshe is also being critiqued for things that other heroes have done before her. She just does those things way worse and all at once. That can make some of the comments feel hypocritical or in bad faith.there's also just a lot of actual bad faith and band wagon criticism too.
>>584770557violet will bring asian american egirls to the game so you can find a gf
>>584770558magic breast growth serum being injected into breasts is my fetish. no idea if that's what this is supposed to be though.
>>584770101They can't still surprise us, but it's going to be hard to surpass it. I remember everyone posting webms of his animations and portals on release.
>>584768984every game needs hot asian bitchesthe reason deadlock is troonlock is because there's a ton of monster characters, troons associate themselves with the monsters and love playing as thempeople shitting on conventionally attractive characters seem like they have an agenda to me
>>584770561Look you can call him Reddit all you want but Rat King is probably the best designed character (i.e. personality, not necessarily kit) in the release so farHe's a strong personality and his visual design is quite good and his interactions and voice lines are generally entertaining
>>584770647?
>>584770703violets design is good imo, i just hate her personality and voice
>Wow Violet has such a unique and fun play style!>It's literally just fucking Kelvin but a DPS
>>584768984Their mind IMMEDIATELY (because of mass psyoping) turns it into a gender/race thing but the problem is they can't say shit here THEY KNOW they can't deflect to their usual>erm its the chuds this community is full of misogynists! a woman was voted in first not to mention its a toss up between her and harrow>w-well they're full of racists chuds too!a black man was third >e-err they're...they're...they're JUST CHUDS BECAUSE THEY JUST ARE OKAY?!
>>584770703>>584769153
>>584770321You posted him
>>584770703yes which is why dota2 is infested with trannies and LoL is free of them....
>>584770734Her visual design is mid at best
Yoko Ono type character
>>584770637Some of her personality is shit but its like 95% salvageable if any new conversations she has is people clowning on herWeakest by far yes but zoomers have been mindbroken by kikes into thinking complaining about rent or debt is a 21st century concept which is hilarious
>>584770769meant a woman was voted in second my bad
>>584769791Ironically it would usually be Billy or Seven playing this role. Billy, I would understand him liking a random art hoe, but Seven has no reason to be as cordial as he is with her. He's treating her with the same kiddy gloves he gives Graves
>>584770850WHAT FUCKING DEBTSHE GOT A FULL RIDE TO ART SCHOOLTHIS BITCH IS RETARDED
>>584770850Student loans didnt exist for liberal arts majors in the middle of the 20th centuryback then we weren't retarded enough to fund useless degrees like that
I have seen this idea circulating around discords and the threads and i unironically really want to see it now.>Deadlock monkey king: monkey escaped from new york zoo and accidentally finds an artifact of divinity. >he is just a slightly cheeky fun loving guy that is really humble despite his ascension >wishes from the patron to return back into a regular simple monkey. ironically making him the perfect candidate for divinity.
damn Sinclair is fun as fuck, why do people not play him? you just run around doing a shitton of damage with bolts, turning entire teams into rabbits, and spamming ults
i really want a tai chi park cultivator and mystical arab cab driver
>>584770789LoL barely has any trannies thoughjust edgy eboys and egirlsbut its been a whileits kinda dead these days
resistances have got to be the biggest fake stat in the entire game. I just had a game where I had spellbreaker, inhibiter, 3200 spirit resist, and silencer and still melted in .3 seconds against the all spirit team despite trying to play it safe. spirit metal skin fucking WHEN
>>584770893You can assume it covered the price of college but not rent + living expensesIf you actually went to college or higher education you would know its common to take loans for day-to-day costs, in my country its called Maintenance LoansShe's pissy her parents haven't interacted with her in years so she's not getting money from them either.
>>584770703Troons hate monsters because they remind them that they're hardly human. Troons love conventionally attractive female lesbians because it lets them project their fantasy of being a universally loved girl that gets to fuck women all day, since troons are just sex starved narcissistic men with AGP at their core. Violet is literally the average troon's dream character, since she has all of the usual as well as being an artsy piece of shit that hates her parents and thinks she's special and deserves the world to accept her as is instead of calling out her delusions.
>>584771037FactsResistances are literally a memeIf you get tagged by an ability you're dead in 0.2s anyway just buy more damage and build damage or mobility greens
>>584770967Janky and the design doesn't appeal to a lot of peopleI don't agree with this but many say he is hard to play too
>>584770403built for getting mounted and having pawprints left upon
>>584771105you know who hates conventionally attractive female chars? leftistsyou know who created troons? leftistsit's one and the same
>>584770109I would've hated this violet character regardless of when she was released, she's horrendous and anyone that defends her shouldn't play Deadlock.
rat king might be the most degenerate street brawl hero
>>584771103Full rides cover living expenses as wellIn actuality someone most likely fucked up and whoever wrote the backstory isnt the same person that wrote dialogue
NEW SCHIZO THEORY:There will be a secret hero released 3 days after Harrow. They're going to quickly recycle Violet's scrapped Invoker abilities and give it to someone.Voice Actor: Troy Baker
>>584771037There are no good anti spirit items, that's why we're in a perpetual spirit meta, even the m1ggers deal 50% spirit damage.Plated armor alone is stronger than every anti spirit item combined.
>>584770967What usually happens is>good Sinclair player on enemy team>a billion damage with gun>a billion damage with bolt>extremely obnoxious huge aoe rabbit >instant teleport walker melter>can pick between Dynamo, Lash and Victor ultand then you go like "Holy shit. What a character! Let me pick him">miss everything>rabbits get zero value because your team is shit>enemy team has zero good ults
>>584771179no one has so far complained about her being conventionally attractive, everybody hates her atrocious personality
>Character with the most profanity, drug usage, and casual sex talk is ChineseUnironically if this gets signal boosted to the Chinese side she might get changed
>>584770425>massive poserHe's got a foot in both lanes, there's some authentic anti-establishment sentiment in Billy and a genuine love for New York as a local, but he also has a bad habit of spouting contrarian bullshit that he isn't actually educated about.
>>584771037pipe of insight soon
>>584771239MEDS NOW
She's fun
>>584771239Nolan North, he's worked a lot with Valve and I'm surprised he hasn't voiced anything in Deadlock
>>584771237Those kind of scholarships are impossible to get unless you're genius among geniuses in stem etcYou can just assume full ride means all her college tuition costs are free/waivered but they're not gonna give her a free place to stay + money.
>Summon the Hidden King and I'll pay for your rent this monthWhat a deal
So what's the counter for Violet?
>draw a dildo>ride itIs this something Violet would do or is it out of character? Serious loremasters only.
>>584771179You know who likes conventionally attractive characters? Me.You know who fucking hates troons and every piece of shit work of media they shit out? Me.If Violet had anything going for her at all I'd have voted for her, but I clocked her shitty voicework and generic OW style design and I knew she'd be fucking worthless in all regards other than cute face. And I was right.
I'm convinced that anyone that likes violet only does it because they're contrarians.Like Billy.
>>584771556pick a m1gger and build spirit resilience and silencer, same story for 90% of the roster
>>584771561yes, but not just a dildo, it'd be a 12 incher attached to a 6ft tall ripped sexy adonis (me)
>"okay we got 5 heroes ready for the update but we just cant fucking come up with a 6th one, nothing sticks!">autistic designer: "oh oh let me work on it! i got just the thing!!!">"alright fuck it as long as we got another one to complete the batch">autistic designer inserts her shitty fanfic quirky OC to appeal to the totally cool and epic coastal art hoes like herself

its fucked up how all of these characters are more finished from an animation and asset perspective than Silver STILL is
>>584771556assassins like calico or drifterher only weakness is her bad HP so you need to burst her out before she can do anything
>honest carriessevenvenatorvictorwarden>dishonest carrieshazewraithinfernus
>>584771714The only worth silver has to the devs is thinking about fucking her, any gameplay stuff is too much effort for them
>>584771714Did they fix the bola phantom strike thing not working on half the cast I gave her up for yamato
>>584771791victor got lost looking for a hotdog
>>584771792False, they also think of ways to nerf her despite being worthless already
>>584771791wrong>honest carrieswardenhazevenator>hisdohonet everyone else
>>584771714I feel like Valve has a problem of going back to finish up things in general. They do it with most things, instead of polishing old stuff they just jump into the next new content and throw the old stuff into "we'll get to it some day"
>>584771861>My favorite character is hisdohonetNo...
>>584771861>haze>honestLMAO
>>584771852loldoesnt work on Danny at all btw
>>584767536You already know the answer bro....
I really do not understand the issue with Violet.80% of the cast already has nu-dota millenial writing and/or horrible VAs, she's not an exception
>>584771852post more wolf form Silver art. I want to use her like a big blanket.
>>584772043those characters all have interesting gimmicks she does not
>>584772043stupid frogposter
>>584771969yeah, she only does gun damage, unlike everyone else stacking chalice/magnum on top of their built in spirit per bullet bullshita 20/0 haze can be shutdown with metal skin
>>584772060Here you go friend
>>584772043She's worse than baba and solomon combined
>1 Can have infinite usage due to cooldown reduction spam>3 does gigatons of damage as well as giving you perma stacks>4 just wins you team fightsHoly fuck this chigger is busted
>>584771037It would be nice if they added a graph to show you damage resisted throughout a match and a breakdown of what hit you
>>584772043half the people here love the quirk homo gay shit present in most of the cast as it is, you wont convince them that violet isn't any different

>>584771852They are allergic to making Silver remotely playable because she was busted on release. doomed to being D tier forever because some pros had a meltie about her.
>>584772043Pretending to be retarded is a pitiful way to spend your life.
come up with an alt-cast for Riposte so its not the worst ability in the game
>>584772245I will also defend Paige as being distinctly positiveLike she's generally trying to be positive and helpful which can get a little grating but is still overall a positive trait
>>584772245ok, now do apollo, celeste, holliday, ivy, silver, victor, and vyper
she broke /dlg/
>>584772391Do not put Apollo and Ivy next to those bums
>>584772276I HAVE FAITH SHE WILL BE GOOD OR META AGAINPLEASE... YOSHI...I'm not even asking to make her OP, just make her feel fun to play. All I ask
>>584770689>>584770101Uhhh xisters?They still haven't released the gravity gun hero.
I only have fun playing mina, pocket, sinclair, holliday, and doorman. Is there something wrong with me?
>>584772391Celeste Holliday and Silver are the only one of those that need defendingMAYBE Victor
Can you see Vindicta's ult if she's hiding in a vent?
>>584772391>Cunt that's called out as a cunt>Retard that's called out as a retard>Retard that's called out as a retard>Retard that's called out as a cunt>Retard that's called out as a retard>Retarded cunt that's called out as a retarded cuntNow what
>>584772496Silver's convsersation with Drifter helps recontextualize her, she may have been very competent prior to whatever happened with him and Shiv and then burned out, many people in the cast already say Holliday is retarded for trying to go after the Troubadour
>>584772043She's treated extremely softly by the rest of the cast and her attitude is very inconsistent. She is simultaneously a rebellious college student who goes to protests and rallies all the time, so egotistical she's willing to take part in a giant demon summoning ritual and murder people to get her name out there, and also a nervous wreck who's scared and doesn't want to be here, and also someone who doesn't believe in her self despite being willing to go to through these lengths. And despite all of this, all anyone has to say to her is that she's great and needs to believe in herself. You can try to compare her to Paige or Billy, who are also achronistic, but these characters are treated completely differently. Paige is doing this for a very serious reason, she's trying to find her missing brother and this is her last lead, and other characters will treat her as annoying, because she can be annoying. Billy is a anarchist punk but he's also an annoying jack ass and performative, and 80% of the cast hate him and are dunking on him all the time. Despite this, there is actually a good person under his persona and that comes out at times. Billy participating in the ritual doesn't come across as insane becauss he's a violent and destructive person who doesn't respect the law and wouldn't care about killing other people to get what he wants
>>584772451Hmmm... nyo.
>>584772574now you're just lyinggo read all the convo lines for those heroes and you'll see they're all nu age safe gay shitand I haven't even mentioned all the new lines that got added with CNS update like making abrams a sex symbol for no reason or drifter being soft
>>584772574>>Retarded cunt that's called out as a retarded cunt and actively loves being a retarded cuntThe best to ever do it
>>584772415She broke you.
>>584772043because she is literally a 2026 coastal art hoe dropped into the game with nothing changed except inexplicable magical powers no other character is like this
>>584771714Silver might be unfinished but she's still cute and my wife
>She is simultaneously a rebellious college student who goes to protests and rallies all the time, so egotistical she's willing to take part in a giant demon summoning ritual and murder people to get her name out there, and also a nervous wreck who's scared and doesn't want to be here, and also someone who doesn't believe in her self despite being willing to go to through these lengths.You want characters to be one dimensional?
>>584772632>>584772698
>>584772698funniest part is that she doesn't even seem to hate danny despite him being the avatar of fairfax
why do you niggers say that people hate violet because of what she looks? no nigga, its not the fucking looks its her boring ass lore. for fucks sake, they didn't even tell you the reason why she can paint stuff and affect things in real life and here is biggest evidence of the hate.
>>584772276She wasn't good on release lol
>buying not only mystic shot, but also headhunter, express shot, spirit snatch, cold front and other items that benefit from lower cooldown like decay, silence wave, focus lens, curse>proc every burst damage item 2x more often than any other character while also having constant uptime with curses etc.why wouldn't this work
>>584771852Oh so i'm not schizophrenic, it's just a thing it does.
>>584772820Because that would mean having to address valid complaints and it's easier to just call people misogynist incels
Well /dlg/ since you're so great at character design give me your amazing story concept for an Asian artist in NYC doing an occult ritual for a wish,
>>584772060I like this one even though it feels like something a tumblroid yurinigger would post
If valve was based we would have got young hitler as the artist
>>584772872would've been a trillion times better if she was shit at art and it was what she tied her self worth to, to the point that she's willing to work with drifter just to get talentOr make her that painted skin demon people were saying she'd be
>>584772698There's 3 dimensional and then there "this person no longed makes sense". You can't convince me that someone who hangs around the same circles as Billy and goes to drink beers with him is secretly a coward. ESPECIALLY if they're taking part in a magic ritual that will turn New York in to a warzone CONSENSUALLY
>>584772840it would!I play like this with kelvin, building all the active denial items and running at one person to blow my load, it works great dont tell anyone though
>>584772872Wants her family to be able to migrate
>>584772872there have been a lot, like a chinese art demon trying to wish to become human there are plenty in these threads
>complaining about a character being basic and too modern>in a game that has a cowboy sheriff but girl, gambler but girl, every Japanese stereotype but girl and a the average fanfic writer but maleSmell the coffee.
>>584772872>since you're so great at character design give me your amazing storybro...
>every other character having quirk chungus lines that bash retarded characters (half the cast) is good>one character having bad lore is badOk I get the difference but the standard is still very low
>>584772698You are retarded.
>>584772872Bringing in an Asian spirituality tied to her history and painting, trying to keep bonds to a past she never directly went with while integrating with the world, one that has massively changed in a mere 80 years. She wields a mix of esoteric and artistic movements such as pointilism for her weaponiziation of the brush and other shit like charcoal for her 3. 6 7
>>584772987>and a the average fanfic writer but maleI thought Paige was a girl
>>584772872nice try valve employee, but you're not getting shit unless I'm on the payroll
>>584773075She's mtf
>>584772974There's a difference between going to rallies and protests with a rabble-rouser and risking your life in an arena to earn a wish. The former is only terrifying for sheltered people, the latter should be terrifying for anyone.
>>584772872We already did this song and dance last thread here >>584757436 and you're inevitably going to respond the same way, wasting everyone's time
>>584772974Billy is a canonically a coward too, he’s a union shill implying a collectivist pack animal. Pack animals act in packs because they are motivated by fear, it’s a survival strategy
>>584772676>Everyone hates apollo and calls him a haughty jackass. Some even call him out for never being in a real fight and it shakes his confidence.>Celeste is accused of wielding her power like an idiot and putting everything she cares about at risk to save someone who doesn't deserve it.>Holliday is constantly told that her desperation is destroying herself, and that her whole quest is pointless because she's no match for the Troubadour.>Ivy is complimented for her efforts, but people give her shit for refusing to accept her role in the world like a coward who would rather vanish than use their powers for heroics.>Silver is constantly mocked as a self destructive failure by literally everyone, and no one bothers to sugarcoat the truth.>Victor is called retarded for obsessing over his pointless past and what he is instead of trying to focus on the future and live his own life, and people call him out on his moronic priorities often.>Everyone hates Vyper for being a degenerate criminal with no morals to speak of and nowhere near enough talent to have a chance.Now what
It's fucking insane to me that the game doesn't have a bigdick melee carry yet.How hard is it to just copy paste>Presses 1>other 3 abilities are borderline passives that just amp your auto>Walks towards you with impossibly high base stats>Presses auto
>violet is into white guys nowThere. I fixed her
>>584773219sir, this is a hero SHOOTER
>i am forgotten
>>584773173>>584772986All the "great ideas" basically boiled down to "just make her an edgy bitch lmao" and want to make her Grimstroke or something. No wonder you faggots bitch on 4chan all the time, you guys have zero creative skills.
>>584773293Go play in traffic kid
>violet is comically racistThere. I fixed her
>>584773219The design in Deadlock is trying very hard to avoid stat check situations
Obnoxious stupid cunt character voiced by an obnoxious lispy stupid cunt VA written and designed by some obnoxious chink whore with an obnoxious and irritating stupid cunt kit for faggots, perfect release for Deadlock's Discord tranny audience I guess
>>584772676Danny D. Deadman alone has brainwashing, war crimes and enough pro-capitalism sales talk that would make the average American college student flinch away in terror, and that's one character with mostly incomplete voicelines.
>>584772820Her character design ends up being bad precisely because of her boring lore. If there was a contrast between her extremely basic Asian woman design and her characterization then it would've worked really well, but she has an extremely basic Asian woman design because that's exactly what she is and that's lame as shit.
>seven, bebop, danny and grey talon in the same team>only I bought knockdown...
>>584772872Stick with the "I want exposure" baseline but actually carry through with it. She is shamelessly self-confident and narcissitic, like many famous artists. She has no problems comitting murder because she's treating it like research for her next piece. Other characters treat her as vapid and she treats most of them as neanderthals who wouldn't understand fine culture. She still gets along with Billy, because Billy is the only person who tries to criticize her art instead of her persona (and also naturally the art student is a massive leftist). Hell, she's even still a druggie, just make it blatant she's using hard drugs like cocaine or opium like artists of the time.
Shot in the dark but does anyone know if proccing Love Bites with Rake calculates the % missing hp damage of Rake before or after the Love Bites damage?
>>584773293Maybe because that is what the character is missing? She’s one dimensional, ironic considering she’s an artist
>>584773219Your auto is shooting in this game. What you are describing is basically Warden, but he also has a root because you pretty much need one due to how mobile everyone is in all three dimensions.
>>584773385My L-R build is telling me to build more damage sorry
>holliday is now canonically married to methere. I fixed her.
>>584773324Haze is a walking statstick and everyone loves her for it.
Guys what if anti-shooter? The hero has no m1, instead it's a meter that builds up as you take damage then it shoots aoe like bristleback?
>>584773189those are just seven's lines, he's rude to everyone
>>584773493No that's retarded
>lame>basic>bad>boringYou can tell who got ganked and had the doorway blocked by Violet's drawing based on the buzzwords they use. They never mock the gameplay because they can't.
Fuck I almost replied to bait. Good grief.
Wait, why is violet even asian? Does she have some mahjong related generational trauma? Joy luck club type shit
>>584773451alright, but keep your bitch wife out of manhattan, she keeps headshotting me while I'm trying to do the ritual
>>584773293The only kinds of people that would kill strangers and summon a demon for nothing more than popularity are fucking evil. Either you make her some kind of desperate victim that's going to die without a wish, some kind of desperate hero fighting for something other than herself, or a fully fledged shithead that only cares about herself no matter what.Violet is literally a non-character with no actual goals or direction, she's pointless.
>>584773540>They never mock the gameplay because they can't."Dude what if Kelvin did damage"
May this kind of "muh lore" community never find Dota 2
>>584773324I will stride across the battlefield in glory.
>>584773574Literally just for writer venting
>>584773512Not to Violet. He even tells her she's too good for this world, in the conversations he is literally rude to the entire world except her.
>Yamato now looks like thisThere, i fixed her.
>>584773610No one is finding Dota in big 2026, unc.

>>584773610Fuck you nigga, Violet is much more annoying than Kez
>>584773493How do you farm and, most importantly, what do you do if the enemy (correctly) chooses to not shoot at you?
>violet ult is a veilDo you just build veil walker on her every game?
>>584773679Kez is much harder to play so I don't see that fucking bird in my games
>>584771791>Seven>Honest
>>584773710>How do you farmmelee just like every other hero
>>584773737His 3 is a bit strong but yes he is honest
>>584773676And in spite of them being shit ideas, they're all better than what Valve came up with
The forced Violet hate is orchestrated by GAMERGATE NINJAS btw
>>584773676you didn't even read them you just clicked on all the posts that replied to you retard
All the new characters feel completely one dimensional and lacking any depth. It's weird how valve stated that they aren't doing new models for the old heroes but the last batch of heroes had a lot more voice lines and more interactions with each other.These new ones barely have anything and to make it worse I'm very confused as to why all of them have in depth conversations with Kelvin who in my opinion is even less of a character than Violit. They all feel even more unfinished and half assed compared to the others.I guess they are all fun to play at least and genrally fun to look at.>Implying Violit being a slut isn't exactly what /dlg/ wants.
Why are all the new heroes except Rat King have much more complex kits compared to older heroes?I don't wanna think about microing my hero while also focusing on a team fight
>>584773808>lurked
>>584771330she'd unironicly be better as an unapolegetic CCP shill.
>>584773293Nigger she is killing people in a ritual to summon an eldritch patron god, she can't not be an edgy bitch if she's doing it for herself or a desperate good person if doing it for someone else to at least some degree you stupid fuck
Can we get an asexual or sex repulsed hero because I am tired of all the SEX SEX SEX SEX
>>584764909Maybe they should have made the Asian more interesting and not some libtard art grad's self insert OC with a dogshit bootleg Grimstroke-style ability kit.
Being gay isn't an interesting trait anymore
>>584772872the key part is that she doesn't have a good reason to both be a magical art prodigy and willing to risk her life in the ritual, her lore says that she's terrified of failing but there's no reason for her to assume that when her life has basically been a string of constant successes in all things art>born to a prestigious mystical bloodline which is why her art is magical, viewed by them and herself as not living up to her potential, putting her life on the line in order to live up to her family's expectations>blessed in a way that imbues her art with magic, but she's wracked by insecurity that her success as an artist comes exclusively from this blessing, so she wants to rid herself of it so she can finally know if she actually has any talent of her own, or if it all came from the blessing>some sort of spirit or demon is bound to her that manifests through her art, she might not even be antagonistic towards it but she had grown tired of their bond, she wants to be her own person and she wants it to be free from her too, so that they can live lives separate from each otherthree basic ideas, not sure if any of them are good, but they feel better to me than her current milquetoast lore
>>584773950victor
reminder that Violet is doing the ritual for CLOUT
>>584773950Sex sells grow up
>how dare you provide honest feedback for a beta playtest you miserable toxic hater racist bludTwitter killed the game.
>>584773293it's almost like the setting demands killers, like mobsters and hunters and government agents and selfish power hungry monsters, you know like most of the original cast is
>>584773956I think Grimstroke ult would've been better on her than discount Mars ult
>make absolute peak characters for hero labs >banish them into the void never to be seen again>release Violet instead
retards will frame 1 parry a light melee thrown by a guy who has not pressed his melee key the entire match and then get mad when you make a joke about scripts in all chat
>>584774073we DO NOT need illusions in this game bitch
Guys i don't think this is how chinese americans in 1950's New York used to talk
>>584773840I expect Harrow to be relatively simple and to have staying power because of this
>>584774130His ULT not aghs
Next season you need 15 wins with the new heroes
>>584773293Grimstroke would fit the setting 10x better, what the fuck are you talking about >sacrificed his village in an occult ritual, including his family, to make his art otherworldly perfect That's the type of guy who'd join a OUTER GOD OCCULT SUMMONING RITUAL BLOODSPORT BATTLE, unlike Violet who has zero reasons to be there.
>>584774131>Grow up, GravesI don't think she will, actually
>>584774131there is not a single character in the game who speaks like they're in 1950s new yorktargeting any single character with this criticism is dumb
>>584773840because then you have rat king, a slow giant pincushion with no damage who can't even use his ult mid-fight without instantly dying and autoloses to flyers and long range
>>584774073Yeah but considering how teamfights go in Deadlock, people would be fucking SCREECHING over not being able to scatter like apes across half the map after completely different targets by said ult. People already mald over basic stuns, an ability that leashes two retards together and keeps them from scattering from each other-- or even 4 of them with Refresher? Their hero shooter monkey brains would fucking explode from not being able to do what they usually do.
>Danny's 3 and even his 2 trigger Toxic Bullets>Danny's 3 does not trigger Tesla BulletsI don't get it
Someone post the Violet leaked skills list from the files for me
>>584773840danny isn't complex either
>>584773975So is Mina.
>>584774226>shoot rat king>die from return fire
>>584773965If you combine the first two it would also give you a reason for why she doesn't like her parents. Not only is she not adept at her magic to impress her parents, but she's also riddled with imposter syndrome due to the nature of her gift. The result would be her wanting to get rid of her gift both to prove to herself that her art is truly her own, as well as prove to her perfection obsessed parents that she can succeed without their tutelage or their gift.
>>584774282here's a (You), try again next time man.
>you toxic ahhh incels wanted Violet to be a good character instead of shit? Typical hater.
>>584773931shut up bigot why can't you just let us normal people have a relatable down-to-earth normal character who's just like me and is perfectly okay with murdering people for clout (this is very normal) and is very nice and normal??!
>>584773950No sex is fine but they have to pander to me instead of bleeding axewounds.Ivy should have tits.Silvers should have tits in wolf form.Holiday should wear jean shorts and have ass freckles.Paige should be a BBW.Celest should have a horse pussy.Harrow should have huge tits with a boobwindow.Viper should look like the Vipers from X-com.There, i just fixed the community.
>>584774236it only triggers build-up itemsfuck if I know why but whatever it's good
>>584774360>Ivy should have tits.Bad taste. Won't even bother reading the rest.
>>584773293No idea who Grimstroke is, but if he's anything like >>584774195 says, then yes, Violet being a cute psychotic girl version of Grimstroke would be infinitely better than what we actually ended up with.
>>584774236sorry, only ivy and wraith are allowed to use capacitor to circumvent their early game weakness
Where's the ina mod for violet?
What are the roles and archetypes of the new heroes?>rat king is a frontline gun tank>baba is a tanky spirit brooler>solomon is a cc support>danny is a flier idk>violet is a cc disruptor
>>584765017If your name is Vyper, sure
>>584774381I don't want you to read the rest homo.
Violet is pretty fun DESUShe's like a spirit Vyper except a bit more flexible.
>>584774395doesn't gun graves (lol LMAO) also build tesla early?
>>584774305main downside is that people might say "wow how racist" if you dare to give an asian character perfectionist parents
>>584774305>muh imposter syndrome This is garbage writing and you know it. I'd work if the cast would call her out for being a rich pampered cunt with ZERO actual problems that's just chasing some thrill, but they don't. Her character would work if she was an actual girlfailure, but nope, she's ultra talented and successful and just generic Asian American woman neurosis self insert bait. It's dreadful.
deadlock won
>>584773462She is currently broken OP because of it
>>584774471I wouldn't know, nobody builds gun graves outside of standard new player bracket and e1 manipulator fags
so did they open the feedback for violet on the forum already?
>>584774498Won't you have impostor syndrome IF you are successful
>playing Brawl>last round>die and boosting back to our walker>Violet is sitting on the second floor of our base >pops ult>the walls extend up very high so get tagged by multiple walls on the way and lose half my health>starts casting 3 on me>whatever, I'm boosting past>the 3 finishes as I reach the walker despite her being near base stillwhy the fuck does her 3 have infinite range
who should my 3rd hero be if im using Danny and Sinclair mostly?
Recently found out the server picker shit. Thank god, holy fuck. I went from 11 russians in my games to like 1-2 max. Just blocked everything outside London in Europe. I can actually enjoy the game and all the English shitposting between the players.

>>584774651server picker shit?
How exactly does Apollo's riposte function? Am I not guaranteed a connection after I parry someone and then press 2 on them? Sometimes I just fly past them into bumfuck nowhere
>>584774493She already has perfectionist parents that she hates. She literally whines about them FORCING her to play piano when she was younger.>>584774498>I'd work if the cast would call her out for being a rich pampered cunt with ZERO actual problemsYes, that would be the plan. She's squandering a gift out of a delusional need to prove herself to herself, but its the only way to somewhat keep her backstory intact without changing her personality entirely or adding some extra crazy shit to make sense of it.
>>584774493This doesn't work because Mina exists and is actually well written Her schtick of being a pouty classist social climber striver cunt works, one because her VA and voice lines are great, and two because she is in fact out of her water and copes about it with her attitude. Drifter correctly calls her out that she doesn't know the politics she's messing with and she'll get herself killed, not to mention he could turn her intestines into a mandolin, she isn't some super powerful Mary Sue. Violet wishes she had that writing.
>>584774131These really are some of her worst lines, you would think she would have more sympathy for a girl that's her but younger and in a far worse position
>>584774236It has an internal cd anyways and would only proc it twice
>>584774704that's a bug, trannies know how to make it happen consistently though, they love exploiting shit
>>584774643you need two more heroes because your 3 can't include new ones
>>584774728This one made me laugh. It's over.
Do games this bad only happen in lower ranks? Can I write Valve a letter to execute them?
>>584774704I feel like I've been seen this happen more often recently. Probably a bug, but I don't know.
Violet is awful. Laughing at the Redditors dropping actual essays on why the character is boring.One thing I haven’t heard people mention is how fucking bad the voice acting is. It feels like it’s from another company, the audio quality on her clips is terrible.Shitty mumbled English with huge amounts of bass boost / lows added to the recordings. She should not have such a warm heaviness to her voice, but the devs didn’t know how else to make her limp voice acting stand out at allTERRIBLE

>>584775216uh Lash? hello?
I hope you all understood the lesson from the Violet disaster, the problem and cancer that is killing Deadlock is FANDOM CULTURE.Violet is 100% fanservice pandering for fandom troglodytes on Twitter and Discord. Those people don't actually care about the Deadlock game or setting, they care about being Deadlock FANS, they want to chitchat, they want generic muh relatable characters with cutesy designs to play house with, and write shipping fics and art, and make asinine charts about what each eats for breakfast.Opening up Deadlock to those people was a disaster.
>>584775105living ink to wall off an escape route, flow state to escapeif you get the drop on her and she doesn't have a doorway that she can block off or is unable to skate away fast enough then yeah, she should die, that's game balance
>>584775325Lash is American as fuck. He’s voiced by Johnny Cage.
>VIOLET, SUMMON THE ARCHMOTHER, AND I WILL MAKE PEOPLE STOP SAYING YOUR ART INSISTS UPON ITSELF
dannybros can you post your builds, i want to see
>>584775342But the cosplay and the fanart and the wholesome community (all allies)?
>>584765842I can’t tell if that’s Haze, Mina, or someone entirely different
>>584775367he's a 1:1 with those russian circus freaks who lift 1 ton weights

>>584774887>violet isn't a hyper carry but she doesn't fit any of the other rolesin what world isn't she a carry?her 1 gives her 50% more bullet damage and 50% fire rate

GIVE ME A FINNISH HERO
>>584775367>>584775449I honestly thought Lash was a Kraut immigrant when I first saw in '24 until I heard his voice.
>>584774978I would settle for her being liked or remembered by anyone.
>>584775503why?

>>584775564I LIKE FINNS THEY'RE OFTEN VERY FUNNY
>>584775489i said hyper carryis she victor tier?
when do so many melodramatic furfags play this game
Wait Paradox is wearing a helmet? I legitimately thought she replaced her entire head with some techno-archaic lava lamp.
>>584775575This game is far too hard for your average Deadlock bab, delete this.
>broooooo we NEED A (my niche ethnicity) hero they would fit SO GOOD into this alternate 1950s new york
>>584775342High IQ post
>>584775342Literally nothing to do about it.Valve as a company is the one trying to appeal to freaks.
>>584775613would have to get her more
>>584775613What the fuck is a hyper carry
>>584775606I have not met a single finn on the internet who wasn't the most autistic/annoying person of whatever friend group they were inNot hyperbole either, the 3-4 finns I've met were genuinely all awful
>>584775597https://youtu.be/LbEUGhW82tcRASCLAAAT
>>584775564Pekka vs Raven banter could be funny
>>584775653>they would fit SO GOOD into this alternate 1950s new yorkInstead of making a period accurate Chinese lady they copy pasted some West Coast Asian American self insert slop, nobody cares about "muh fits the setting" anymore. Just throw Aghanim and Demoman in already who cares.
>>584775726Very poor luck then I've liked all I've come across they're very endearing and autistic unlike a german person who are just annoyingly autistic
>>584775721Crazy you can still be having a discussion about something in a MOBA and someone will come by and be like "wtf is <basic terminology>" in TWENTY TWENTY SIX buddy the genre is decades old did you just spawn inA hypercarry is someone who can 1v6 lategame if sufficiently fed
>>584775867No one in modern dota can do this
>>584775867>genre is decades old did you just spawn inThe sooner you stop doing this, the bettert. Came here from fighting games
kill all mina downplayersthis character is a broken fuck piece of shit at every stage of a match
>>584775903'dusa
>>584775919Medusa is powercrept to shit unfortunately, that mana shield isn't tanking anymore.
What's the name of the lounge singer again?
>>584775916You will continue getting raped in lane until you figure out how to buy a green item, sorry
>>584775653setting consistency went out the window the moment they added Billy. After they scrapped the Noir theme anything goes.
>>584775919You don't play dota
I want to download the game.Is there a description of how every character actually plays?
>>584775943ah well, she was closet I could think of.>>584776002I'm just a n00b at it.
>>584775807>DEMOMAN... YOUR GAME IS IN SHAMBLES, ITS COMMUNITY INFESTED BY TRANNIES AND FURRIES... SUMMON THE HIDDEN KING, AND TOGETHER WE WILL REVERT THE MEET YOUR MATCH UPDATE...
>>584775995Cute downplay. That character is going to get nerfed into the fucking ground. NTA
>>584775575A wizza with a robe and hood and just blackness and eyes underneath would be cool
Can we get someone like Soraka?
>>584776042No, pick off design first, then choose a hero that you liked after seeing it in matches. Simple as
>>584776042you can just try them out in the lobby, it works pretty seamless
>>584775903void can do this
How is Drifter invincible holy fuck!!!!
>>584776117which one
>>584776063I suppose when I point out she's got a negative winrate and there's 20+ characters above her you'll say it doesn't count yeah? How would you feel if you didn't eat breakfast this morning?
People are calling Violet reddit specifically, but from where I'm standing every single new hero has been reddit as fuck. All epic quirky chungus heroes that don't fit the original 1950s noir theme whatsoever.
>>584775903I can 1v6 with antimage because I am that guy
>>584776178I think he means that one that can five man Chrono + refresher
>>584776184This post took more effort than winning on Mina.
>>584776204I love you am bros, he's a lot more honest than the vile pubstomper that is spectre.
i like violet a lot
>>584776203Nurse Harrow will save the setting don't worry
>>584776106which occultist play like Aru?
>>584776278at least someone is happy. Of course this always could just be bait....
>Violet ult blocks Seven ult...but why though?
>>584776204>dota>1v6
>>584776203violet is straight up some coastal asian art hoe's self inserteven if other characters don't fit in with the time period none of them are just a 2026 asian woman
I just want the dialogue to me more snappy. every single character going on long Marvel style banter conversations is shit. only one that can pull it off is Vyper. you can literally cut off half the words from most voicelines and it would make them better.
when deadlock launches and has custom servers the most popular community server variant is going to be stock vanilla deadlock with increased gravity so the movementslop is toned down to a reasonable level
>>584776394>I just want the dialogue to me more snappyI'm sorry, get this instead>Cause if I were you I would leave New York and never look back, but that's because I worked out my shit in therapy like 2 years ago. You on the other hand, are trying to summon a god because somewhere inside you still want mommy and daddy's approval.
>>584764769This is the worst heroes update by far, I don't think they can fuck this up anymore even if they wanted
Never forget the hero who pros said was insanely overpowered, but vulnerable to everything
>>584776381So Seven becomes even more honest than he already is.
>>584776308>Stupid rape meatPaige
harrow is a drag queen
What are you guys building on violet? I’m surprised no one gets veilwalker(her ult counts as veil)
Are asian american women like this irl too?
>>584775721carry has good scaling with farm and becomes more important for the team in the late gamehyper carry is the extreme version of carry, reliant on getting farm to be useful but can win the game if they're able to get it
How'd violet win, i swear virtually every match since danny came out had more people vote harrow.is it the secret chinese servers?
>>584776534would be based
>>584775342everything i like is cursed to be ruined by secondaries. at this point all you can do is enjoy it while you can.
Why does Violet constantly talk like she's in a hurry or out of breathe, it's actually so fucking annoying.>normal character: yeah, we could do that after the ritual>violet: yeahwecoulddothataftertheritual *inhales quickly*
>>584776498>This character has great strengths but is vulnerable at these times and to these items>S+, the tier for characters who do everything with no weaknessesI thought the streamer S+++ilver psyop was a joke lads?
>>584776383Included one teammate deny
>>584776586if there's such a thing as a hyper carry then there is a hyper support and hyper tank
>>584776579gun but without the fire rate and with rapid rechargethe rad regen + TP shit seems like bait that'll be unusable once they nerf the hero she's not a tank but people are building her like baba for some reason
It should be bannable to pick hyper-ranged characters that can't even fucking push in BrawlWorthless teammates every single time that just watch the only melee get gangfucked for 20 minutes while desperately trying to preserve KD and contribute nothing
>>584765523heded tu bloo
>>584776686hyper support is just pos 6
>>584776624Because Violet voters have been voting for Violet since day 1While most Harrow voters have only been voting for Harrow after the 4th hero came out>b-b-but I was voting for Harrow beforeYes, and for each one of you there was 10 people on SEA spamming Violet votesSEA/JP might not have a big playerbase but it stacked up since the beginning so Harrow was never going to win
>>584776498>recommended builds: eidorian
>>584776383You fight everyone including yourself>>584776664Her voice acting is terrible. She sounds like Pocket's inflection when saying "Affliction" but in every word
>>584776664she is le anxious
>>584776715I WILL continue to play Vindcita in Brawl, I WILL continue to build all green support items, I WILL continue to have fun in the for fun game mode while my TRANNY teammates seethe on 4chan.
this is what you deserve for supporting chars like doorman and mina, they were tumblr chars just like violet
>>584765721Drifter may be a cannibal but he is NOT a rapist
Deadlock players are completely fine adding the 80th white person but you add a singular asian person and its an issue
>>584776624Street Brawl is just that powerful to get votes
>>584776842Updooted bro
>>584776498>>584776673>>584776768/dlg/ says talon is INSANELY OVERPOWERED and also vulnerable to getting dived, cc'd, phantom strike, counterspelling his owl, and getting 1shot due to his low hp pool
Got bodied as graves
>>584765683Drifter's a sadistic murderer, not a rapist. He's in ut for the bloodshed and the satisfaction of a job well done. And we already know he would kill children. He actively says he would've made GT watch as he murdered his entire family.
>>584776842Why are all the asians light skinned asians instead of brown asians like indian or mongolian
>>584776715>>584776792You shouldn't even be able to pick a character in Brawl but also >malding at street brawl
>>584766678Painted demon, she doesn't have parents at all.
>>584776935>mirage>krill
Why does Violet still not have her own subforums? Valve not want people to flood them with criticisms?
>>584776935Not even Indians like Indians
>>584766678If she wants to be an artist who's recognized, they should've added with her wanting to make the greatest masterpiece by painting the Patrons and The Ritual.
>>584776969Is Mirage african or asian flavor of arab
>Forced to play IvyThere goes 40 minutes of my life I'm never getting back
>>584777023Mirage is arab, most likely egyptian.
>>584766678Change her ult to utilize the demon. Maybe it could come out of the walls and attack enemy heroes. Change her voicelines to reference it. Tease people with lore.
>>584776907Hi Vegas!
>>584776394Have you ever played a Marvel product or are you just typing shitMarvel interactions are one line long with zero subtlety or room for thought, it’s just “These are my character tropes. These are yours. We are sharing a space together.”
>>584776579>she can heal on demand with veilwalker!>by dropping her ult and walking from the center to outside of the buff rangei mean i guess
>>584769086Ngl her color palette is actually good and striking. Pale skin, blue hair/outfit, blue eyes, red hat and extras. It’s almost as good as Infernus, Geist, and Seven. It’s a shame shes so unlikable and her kit is aids. Even setting aside her coloring, her actual model is fine enough. I know it’s self insert Asian gooner bait and attractive characters are good
>>584776842Yes Pocket Mina Yamato and Mirage didn't exist until now>inb4 some American saying Mirage isn't Asian
>>584776579what use is veil walker for a teamfight ult? why are you leaving the zone of having +spirit? the invis is going to be broken almost immediately, it makes no sense
>>584777081Egyptians aren't asian so Mirage is not asian
>>584768846Nurse Harrow will save the game. Trust. She will be that good.
>>584777130People desperately trying to find some way to make the ult interesting.
>>584777130the +spirit zone is weaker than yamato grapple
What makes a character honest
I'm not looking foward to ranked I feel like I'm going to be hard countered no matter who I play
>>584777164>>584777164>>584777164
>>584775449He’s always seemed more like an American roughneck sailor from the 1930s, minus the white suit but the tattoos, the moustache, the canned food and sausage all sell it to me
>>584776387did you miss the part where I said every single new hero without an exception, you deranged furfaggot
>>584777203whether I play them or not
>>584768846The fact that Violet was second to last and there's been such a backlash to her writing makes me hope that Valve won't make the same mistake again.
>>584777261Anon do you not understand the concept of someone disagreeing with you? Do you unironically have autism?
>>584774696server picker xJust lets you block valve servers you don't want to be thrown into. For me, it's just a way to avoid the more Eastern side which I would get consistently due to ping. Seems to be working well. Blocked all but London servers, and that's all I've been getting.
>>584777583Thanks!
>>584777092>>584777130I mean, I’m a veilwalker hater 2bh but just found it surprising that the one hero with actual kit synergy doesn’t buy it
>>584765721Drifter is just a homeless retard that kills unarmed women, he's not a great personification of evil, he's a larper that lives like a rat in a sewer
>>584767289Depends on the lore honestly. If we going by WOD rules, yeah unless you spend blood points to feign being human for a few hours. But his humanity is so low (presumably) that he might not even be able to do that
>>584768867https://www.reddit.com/r/DeadlockTheGame/comments/1x7x4jq/please_shut_the_fuck_up_about_violet/
>>584769216No a normal guy would be somebody like Holiday. You can have a normal everyman character like James Sunderland work in something like this if their character writing makes sense and fits the world and other characters are quick to call them out on being way over their heads. Violet doesn't have that. Her characterization is a contradiction and no characters call her out on being a retarded bitch (I don't know if Doorman might have a shit talking ult like he does for everyone else, if so good on him at least)
>>584769629>retard proof I frame moveNo she's a cunt
