violet good
Violet is the face of Deadlock
Why is Danny so fucking strong in brool
Violet is trans and locked in a chastity cageThere, I improved your character
Why is shivs win rate garbage when he seems so powerful?
Buff mokrill by changing his ult animation so it looks like a mating press
>>585008729Shiv is a weird heroHe has a high skill ceiling because if you don't know what you're doing you'll feed your ass outAt a medium skill level he's a fucking god of war, unkillable 1v6 monsterAt high skill level he's dogshit
>>585008729Stop fucking fighting shiv in closets then wondering why he is dashing 50 times in 10 seconds and isn't dying
Buff Mokrill so his ult does double damage to female heroes and gives them a permanent "pregnant" debuff
>>585008729hes literally always been like that newfriend
>>585008684Sorry but that will always be metro
Harrow leaks
Add her
Is this one of those games that requires autism to play?
>>585008569>Asian Character : BitchChuddies like her because she plays into misogynistic sterotypes>Asian Character : Relatable normal bi girl struggling with everyday problemsThey throw a shitfitREALLY makes me think
The Violet bait is becoming worse and worse.
Eskay is the face of Deadlock
>tfw you have a quarry to settle
Just gooned to Violet, AMA
One more day until Nurse Harrow saves the game.
Sneaky doing locktober is the face of deadlock
why should a relatable girl struggling with everyday problems be in Deadlock, for a murder battle demon ritual?
>>585008951Sex with Hoodwink.
Any mods that make Violet violet?
>People abusing Rat King for freelo trying desperately to pretend he isn't one of the most broken heroes in the game
Will Harrow be the hard carry of the patch?
>>585009238yehttps://gamebanana.com/mods/728611
>>585009159>locktoberAverage Violet player
>>585009226Elaborate
It's wild how Violet is the target of racism and sexism that exclusively targets her and no other characters for some reason
>>585008729He's one of those characters that is situationally very powerful but people that aren't retarded will not allow him to get in those situations and he has the fatal problem of having to play up close which means it's very easy to cursed relic his ass and kill him should he ever be a big enough of a concern.
>>585009238>Violet your turning violet!
>>585009397I can't believe the racist gamergate chuds activated their misogyny and anti-Asian racism only for Violet and not Mina...
She's violet for an amazing reason
>>585009263>Rat King ults an objective>You now HAVE to give that objective>This is a single fucking ult that is somehow less counterable than Dynamo ult>You could chase and try to fight after, but he has 5 other teammates and only one of them needs to be Baba/Solomon/Violet for you to lose anyway>Your only hope is having all 3 new heroes on YOUR team to out Rivalslop them
>>585009397Voilet hasnt even gotten half of Solomons shit posting
holy fuck, NOTHING dies in this beefcake + movement pick rat/baba/victor/apollo/holliday meta, and i hate buying siphon/scourge/slow hex every single fucking match just for the *opportunity* to get an enemy to half health. this shit is pure buns.
>>585009516Anon... that's literally been addressed this very thread. Mina is a bimbo who plays into misogynistic stereotypes (hurr durr all women are evil), was probably designed as a blonde girl at first and made Asian as a shield against criticism Meanwhile, Violet is a strong woman and it drives chuds MAD
>>585009586Solomon got a day of /pol/brain shitposting for being black, and the Yakubposting is positive, not negativeViolet is getting days of actual criticism for players that are tearing her character apart on the forum
Why is Graves a bad character for a new player?t. newbab
>>585009586I look like this
>>585009701Start spamming dashfernus
>>585009586Solomon is relatively inoffensive. Violet is actually, unironically ruining most narrative aspects of the game like a radioactive waste spill.
What's crazy is that I look like Solomon IRL
>>585009770you dont actually have to aim or work to secure souls
>>585009726All her forum posts have been people (the silent majority) telling Valve that Violet is perfect and to not listen to retarded chuds on socials blowing things out of proportion
#StartAsianHate
>>585009770Her auto aim attracts new players but she is so slow and squishy that its easy to farm her for souls. Also I never cared for people crying about the auto aim, the range is so short that if you have yo be that close you shouldn't be missing shots anyways. Its great for grabbing souls though
>>585009770She has to get close and a new player that gets close and doesn't know what to dodge or avoid is going to have a bad time.
>>585009586It was really funny to watch multiple people react to Solomon's kit and literally everyone went "oh shit it's chess" when putting down the bishop and then deflating when realising you don't have to move it diagonally
>>585009770She teaches you bad habits desu. You are learning to play Graves not Deadlock
>>585009839f-father?
>>585009770Graves unironically requires a high IQ to play because she has 2 stamina, no movement abilities, and one of the lowest health pools
>>585009850This but unironically. Only terminally online retards are seething over some inoffensive goonbait.
>>585009586Solomon is funny because he is supposed to be some high IQ character but he is as brainless as Paige to play.
>>585009839thanks for creating white people, yakub
>>585009906Oh and her 1 and ult can easily farm your enemy souls, especially in lane and that can lead them to reaching 4600 souls first
>>585008569its amazing how Deadlock mogs every other character design out there, specially Gooner Rivals Speaking of gooning i wanna fuck Silver and Drifter so bad
>>585009839ywnbabm
>>585009989I'm learning to play Graves not Deadlock
>>585010015>>585009850Pretending to be dumb to bait still makes you dumb by the way.
>>585009967it wouldn't be playable if it only moved diagonally. the damage squares on the other hand are, and are easily the strongest part of the bishops
>>585009887Shalom rabbi
>>585010074The mod that lowers her hair makes her really pretty, shame is clips into the backpack
Yoshi should just straight up add in actual yakub and his reason for joining the ritual is making a new magic super race.
has the reverse bunny suit graves mod been fixed yet
>>585010139>be all the way in the air at the tip of the bishop>the gay nigger aids squares hit you anywayI am already tired of AOE slop in this game.
>>585010232uninstall
Will they save Harrow's eyebags? I'm worried...
I downloaded the game for Violet.
>>585010169Link?
Having an enemy Solomon throw someone into your team, getting them killed and then us thanking him has to be one of the worst mental attacks
>>585010283They literally did not playtest this character at all, she is so obviously a rushed out job.
>>585010283they teach you this in your first day of art school
>>585010227all skin mods are broken right now, the game puts you in first person
>Hey, catch me later, I'll buy you a beer.Why is Valve writing like this?
>>585010357They scrapped her kit last moment based on datamines
>>585010283this is kinda based ngl
>>585010283i thought they patched this?
>>585010298many people are saying this...
>>585009303She's going to be the soft carry
what DID they test in the super secret elite playtest that's ahead of the main branch by 2 more decades anyway? there were a ton of spots where you could fall off the map, doorman broken etc.
>>585010398gordon? about that beer I owed ya
>>585010398Alcoholism is based.
>>585010517>doorman brokenLe "pros" don't play Doorman
give me one (1) argument as to why the healing orb from medic troopers should not be deniable like normal soul orbs
>>585010586YeahGo back and see what laning was like before they added that shit, there's your answer.
>>585010283I hope their next character goes through at least one actual human being before making it into the game
Genuinely think violet may be one of the most op heroes they've ever released after seeing that vid of her oneshotting midboss and all the npc tricksOne of them tried to do the turn off guardian trick to dive me but killed both her and her laner lol
how do I deal with a Yakub on the bridge just spamming shit on my tower
>Enemy gets urn>Leaves immediately without securing souls>I shoot the soul orbs to steal themDo the stolen souls go to my whole team as well or just me
>>585010283Vanilla wow reckoning bomb is back.
>>585010283My wife
>>585010586in its current iteration, heal orbs are core to the tempo of laning and how trades work. you'd need to completely redesign how they function if you were to make them deniable. if you think they should work as-is and also be deniable, then respectfully, you're a retard.
>>585010731Go somewhere else, Yakub owns that bridge now
this fanart feels racist as fuck
>>585010408Source? Where do you get this shit
>>585010306Graves Long hair Mod for Deadlock
>>585010283shiv and vindicta are closing in on your location violet
>>585008530Same, I also want to do placements before the season ends but I'm to lazy to unlock 2 other heroesI'll probably end up in brick anyway
>>585010398because if it was nuvalve, gordon would be a tumblrhorny character and barney would be a 6'5 chiseled jaw MegaBigDickStud and it'd go more like>WOW NICE MUSCLES, WANNA GO MAKE SOME -vaguepost about our potential past- AFTER THIS WORLD ENDING EVENT??? ;;;)))) BTW I LOVE THE GUY MADE OF CORPSES EVEN THOUGH IT ISN'T HIS BODY AND HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE DEEPLY INSECURE ABOUT IT
>>585010283This takes minutes to build up to and Violet has to be doing nothing jerking off in mid pit meanwhile Vyper and Wraith can instakill midboss like 5 minutes earlier without having to stand still spamming 1 first.
>>585010684Just heavy melee the fucking ink it's not that hardAlso that midboss setup takes several minutes of spamming 1 and wiggling your camera like an autist. It's dumb, but not broken
>>585010586Lane sustain is a critical mechanicIf you fuck with it, bad things happen
>>585010851why doormon nigga
>>585010586If it was the old heal pulses then rem would be s++ tier since he can fortify them>>585010769Just you, soul urn is a selfish objective now. Your teammates can also steal your orbs
>>585010586>Lane against Sinclair/GeistThats why
>>585008735Someone should mod this.
>>585010902>making up scenarios to be mad aboutI thought we were past this
Violet good
>>585010902>BTW I LOVE THE GUY MADE OF CORPSES EVEN THOUGH IT ISN'T HIS BODY AND HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE DEEPLY INSECURE ABOUT ITHe poses nude for Violet now btw. So much for him being cagey about his stitched together corpse.
>>585011047This literally happened btw
>>585010910Granted if someone happens to jump down there they probably will be instakilled
mo and lester getting deleted from the game when?
>>585008569Imagine how much more poignant this cover would be if she were barefoot
>>585010283>velocity cheats at the bottomOh brother.
>>585008735>>585011042>Now lasts twice as long and if it gets fully channeled or if the target's HP bar hits 0 during the channel, there's a creampie sequence and the target's respawn time is increased to 23 million seconds(roughly 9 months)>However, can only be cast on female heroes
>>585010586retard
>>585011171never ever!
>>585011047That is almost verbatim Silver's conversation with Abrams. The Victor part was tacked on but he's right, some 5'1 asian girl in the writer's room is horny for him and doesn't understand the entire point of Frankenstein's monster, which is that, while handsome, he's also without any depth. Like the whole 'Things that are perfect are usually soulless' cautionary tale that any non-retarded writer would be familiar with? Yeah, thats Victor. Handsome without any soul or heart because...it isn't really him. He's a caricature of a pretty man.
Is there any arguments on why they can't just make forward dashes be as far as diagonal ones?
>>585010586>what if we made the game worse and more passive by making people never have HP and thus making them never want to commit to fightshmm
>>585010857>>585010408The datamined kit for her was literally Invoker so thank god they didn't do that. Her current kit is just more obnoxious AoE slop and powercrept abilities. Her 1 is literally a better version of Sinclair's bolt and McGinnis wall, but on charges, and it has Rem's cooldown reduction bullshit.
we are hear to help
>>585011280We were talking about writing in Half Life. That person is getting upset about imaginary writing in Half Life. He is mentally unwell
>>585011235Male heroes you mean.
Pocket's T3 affliction having "PREVENTS ALL HEALING" has so much swagger...We need more game-changer ults tbqh. Just give them an appropriately long cooldown instead of having Rat King ult for every significant fight.
>>585011280Its also incredibly misogynistic for the female cast to be horny over him. Not that he isn't good looking, he's obviously a dark, brooding model, but like you said, he's without soul or meaning. A girl as smart as Paige should realize there really isn't anything there, not be as horny for it as Silver, who WOULD be so vapid, brainless, and vain as to get wet for a guy who barely exists outside of his meat.
>>585010902Maelstrom is not a world ending event
>>585011463>Silver, who WOULD be so vapid, brainless, and vain as to get wet for a guy who barely exists outside of his meashe's just like me fr
>>585011332>better version of mcniggis wall>no 20% damage amp>dies to one heavy melee>spends one, or more, or her 1 charges, which is an important tool for her to be able to cycle abilities Right...
>>585011370>That person is getting upset about imaginary writing in Half Life.Are you autistic?It was obviously an analogy to show how bad recent Deadlock dialogue is by implanting it in a different known game (Half Life 2)
>>585011235Now deals triple damage to teenager heroes (Graves and Vindicta)
>>585011482If Seven wins it is. If more than a few of the cast gets their wish, life isn't going to be the same after. Its not Sunday Night Football.
>>585011543>dies to one heavy melee>you can make like 5 of the fucking walls at once>they do damage if you heavy melee them (which means you get mystic slowed and then raped for doing it)
>>585011616Seven is not that evil, he will just use his powers to destroy governments worldwide to allow people to do magic shit as much as they want
>>585011616Would the patrons grant seven something that could let him rival them? I doubt seven would be satisfied with the level of power he would recieve
Asked last thread to no answer, so I'll include an anime girl this time.Is there a way to view the private forums for deadlock feedback etc, and did they change stamina regen rate in the last 6 months or so?
>>585011482Its explicitly stated to be a world altering event. Not something i'd easily go grab a beer after like its a shift at the ball tickling factory.
>5'7"I can't believe Mo is a subhuman nigger faggot retard manlet...
>>585011574Are you autistic? There's no analogy. He is pretending that if HL3 was made today it would have writing like that which we both know isn't the case, and even if it were the case, it hasn't happened yet, and likely won't happen, so why rile yourself up about it unless you're severely mentally ill?
>>585011740Try again but with less clothes
>melee a paint wall to open a door>Tankbuster + Spirit Burn for a trillion damage>while the v****t is a kilometer awaynice character
>>585011740>to view the private forums for deadlock feedback etcYeah, it's in your menu iirc>stamina regenI remember reading something about buckets, idk if that's stam regen
>Watching movement tutorial video>The tutor is using cheat mods that ping camp and sinner spawns and ping if a camp or sinner is destroyed, ping bridge buffs when they spawn, show item and ability cooldowns above enemy's heads, if the rift has advantage or not, how many unspent and unclaimed souls somebody has
>>585011775he's hunched bro
>>585011543NTA but>4 charges>Free drawis incredibly powerful. Miku wall is on a 20 second cooldown or some shit iirc, realistically you get one per teamfight and (a flaw shared by miku's entire design) its immobile so when teamfights simply move away from the wall it may as well not existViolet can plug a tunnel, enemy punches through (taking damage) and Violet draws some squiggle in the air around the enemy and the enemy punches through again, repeat. Plus 1 happens to be her main damage ability too so it usually gets imbued first
>>585011851Listen dude we have to make her as braindead OP as possible to try and distract from the fact that she is this game's Kiriko/Luna Snow.
>>585010015>goonbaitThere is quite literally nothing "goon" about her, she is literally just a girl
>>585011674Yes spend all your 1s on painting and do no damage for the rest of the fight except a measly 50 damage to whoever heavy meleed the wallAre you stupid? At least try the hero before you make shit up
>>585011879It's for gameplay clarity and quality-of-life bro you just wouldn't get it
>>585011879that's just qol lock!
>>585010283the secret power of asian women revealed at last to the world
>>585011805The point of that post was a jab at Deadlock's writing man, if you don't understand it I can't help you.
>>585011914>character blatantly wants to fuck dogs>thirsts over a bunch of characters>talks like a horny twitter user>>585011948>Do no damage>still have gigantic skill-less AoE ult that buffs your whole team and rapes anyone trying to move through it>
>>585011909How does that distract from that?Being braindead op is an essential ingredient to being a Kiriko/Luna Snow archetype
>>585011886Please try that in an actual fight and see how you'll be doing zero damage because you're no longer getting the 7.5s cd refund on ALL your abilities because you spent them on drawing gay dicks Yes, 7.5s cd refund per cast of 1.You are retarded if you try to do it the way you'd use McNiggis wall
>>585011914No one who wasn't a bad actor or false flag said Goonslop. They called her a Kiriko stand-in, which she is. She's an easily marketable attractive girl in her early 20s who can sell skins to a market of lonely, horny men (Asians)This isn't me disparaging asians either. They've shown time and time again that they will buy the E-Slut KPop skins. Its happened. Companies exploit it. It will happen again. It is happening right now.
>>585011914TSMT chuds calling her goonslop are revealing their sexism and showing that they only view women as sex objects>>585011879All of these are simple QOL features
>>585011740I'm drooling and my cock is leaking precum
>>585011851No way that her wall hit the thresholds to pop those post a replay
>>585012091I know, it was a joke lolMaking her this disgustingly OP and easy to play AND obnoxious to play against while having here entire kit be powercrept versions of other characters abilities is just going to justify the hate for her even more.https://gamebanana.com/sounds/94336Reminder to share this mod around also, it makes the game playable again.
>>585011914She is literally covered head to toe oh my fucking god
>>585012059>>Do no damage>>still have gigantic skill-less AoE ult that buffs your whole team and rapes anyone trying to move through it>>Strawman, concession accepted.
>>585011740Call me Mo & Krill the way I wanna rape this hebe
Do any other Deadlock players have antiwoke fatigue? Violet isn't even that bad for fucks sakes
>>585012114>Paint wall is strong because it's way more versatile and low-commitment than McGinnis wall while having much the same benefit>Oh yeah well if you spent ALL your charges you'd have no damage!The benefit of charge-based abilities is you don't spend the "whole" ability every time you cast
>>585012338>yuri ceoEpstein lives?!
>>585012338I don't understand why "woke" people insist on defending a terrible characterHave some standards for fucks sake
>>585012338This can only be settled in a game of DeadlockTrannies vs Nazis showmatch
>>585012374Try it. Go on. It's gonna get heavy meleed instantly and then you're out half a rotation of 2 and 3. It's not a better McNiggis wall, they serve entirely different purposes.
>have to be super duper precise with holliday's lasso>bebop's hook goes through 90 walls and grabs youthis game is so fucking stupid dude
>>585012445Quality is irrelevant as long as my beliefs are supported, chuddy
>Violet saw how everyone hates her ass on the Specternet and is now cryinghope you fucking monsters are happy
>>585012551Mein Fuhrer..I have some bad news about who's winning that one.
>>585012648I'll draw and jerk off to smut of her to keep her happy
>>585012123>They called her a Kiriko stand-in, which she isShe isn't. Kiriko was crafted to be perfect for r34 Blender porn, she has a bubbly personality to go with it while Violet is some millennial self insert with not even a fraction of the same goonability. Vyper will get more porn than Violet because Violet lacks everything that makes Kiriko.
>>585012563>Try it. Go onWhat hellhole do you come from where "heh... if only you actually played the game..." is an argument?Miku wall also gets meleed instantly. Violet 1 cast and rightclick cast do not share cooldowns. Being able to paint a wall anywhere you want is strong as fuck
they should have saved danny's ult design for a spectral bballer or something
Is Apollo's gun really bad at securing souls or am I just retarded? So many times I'll be shooting my own orb and somehow the enemy manages to deny it from me despite me knowing there's a grace period for my side
>>585012738Nobody is jacking off to Kiriko for her bubbly personality dude
>>585012738Kiriko is not bubbly you retardStop spamming your garbage here
>>585012445A lot of the low-level cultural side of libshit progressivism is vehemently refusing any standards of any kind and weaponizing academic terms to do so>Late all the timeUhhh I have undiagnosed ADHD and if you demand I be on time it's ableism>Theft and lootingDisadvantaged populations are using direct action to address legitimate grievances>This new hero's writing sucksYou only hate her because she's an Asian woman and so sits at the intersectional crossroads of racism and misogyny
>>585012797Sometimes securing orbs just goes fucky due to ping or whatever, annoying as shit but apollos gun is fine
>>585012738Kiriko was also a self insert. The personality doesn't matter, either, all that matters to the general Chinese audience is general representation.
>>585012648do you guys think that ghostchan is in its prime right now or is it post-2016 4chan equivalent after r/hawthorne tourists invaded
kiriko is hot, violet is ugly shrimple as. even mina mogs violet
>>585012797its like paige gun, a cosmetic weapon until you buy high velocity rounds
>>585012748>Violet 1 cast and rightclick cast do not share cooldownsWhat the fuck am I reading? You lose a charge, fuckwad.You evidently haven't even played the hero, as suspected. That's why I want you to actually try it, so you can see what it's like when you spend half the fight m1ing because you can't cycle (which is what her kit is built around, btw).The walls serve entirely different purposes. It's retarded to compare them (and thusly claim one is better than the other). How is this hard to understand?
>>585012860>>585012881shes "bubbly" somewhere else iykwim
>>585012738Kiriko was a smarmy ass, just like Violet is. They changed her personality a little bit only AFTER a shitload of backlash.
>>585012338I have fatigue about fags complaining about anti woke fatigue
Paradox ult is low-impact as fuck
Overwatch worth getting into?
>>585013146You lose a charge but it doesn't SHARE COOLDOWNS, you can right click wall and immediately cast 1
>got an apollo in my team that literally went 1v6 every single fight even inside their base and got away with it every single timeI know it can be explained with souls differences but what the fuck (I've never player apollo btw)
>>585013229play rivals instead>it's shitthey're both shit but more normalfags play rivals so you can get an insufferable pick me gf
>>585013280His 2 is a parry also check items
>>585013280People are too retarded to buy slowing hex so an unchecked apollo will slice and dice
Kiriko wears skintight slut fit that practically guides your eyes towards her clean shaven light brown/dull yellow 1X-year-old ricebunny cunnyViolet wears some chingchong shit while talking about going to therapyVery obvious that they are mean to appeal to different audiences. The former is Blender porn fuel, the latter is Tumblrina circlejerk fuel
>>585013229play deadlock instead
>>585013229It was kinda fun in 2016.
I don't even think it's fair to compare migu wall and violetMigu just isn't that menacing anymore with how big the map is and how easy it is for the game to sperg out with her wall because of terrain
>>585013461>Turret hero>Nerf her turrets, make her a m1gger>There are better m1ggersI feel like she's going to get reworked eventually
>>585013237Oh great I used one of my four charges to paint a gay little wall instead of getting half the cd back on both my 2 and 3, great idea. Yeah that's definitely just like McNiggis wall yup for sure
We, the trans community, are deeply disappointed in Violet and demand Valve rework her into proper representation.Do. Better.
>>585013217and thats a good thing ive played this game for too long and paradox has been broken for 99% of that
Rat King is still obscenely OP. How much more data do they need?
>>585013550Yeah dude that's why nobody ever uses her 1 for the wall, everyone only uses it for damage because without it she's helpless. If you turn on any E6 streamer right now they definitely aren't using her wall right?
>>585013565Unironically would be a more interesting character if she were either a Painted Demon (demon who turned into a woman) or a Painting Spirit (spirit who brought to life a painting of a woman) who wanted to become a real girl and entered the ritual for that
I don't mind asian representation heroes like Kiriko and Violet as long as they're female
>>585013679uhh chud? our trans deadlock nightshift pro community said hes fine now. end of discussion
>>585013565I was on the forums for OGNB and there were trans rewrite posts for literally all three of the female heroes
>>585013760the conversation is pretty funny because bebops are the #1 rapists of vindictas, basically vindicta's natural predator
>>585013565wish they'd be trans in silence

>>585013734Yeah they definitely use it the exact same way you'd use McNiggis wallOh wait they don't? They use it for movement (S boosting), blocking vertical holes and to cut off chasing enemies? Are you going to keep being disingenuous or are you going to finally admit they're entirely different abilities and beyond "wall you can break" they have entirely different use cases and comparing then was retarded

Been fucking around and I think I found the sweetspot for my favorite way to play danny: Napalm ganker. Second item trophy to rotate, max out chimera first so you're constantly mobile and getting toxic. Don't worry about attack speed since doing this mostly spirit build gravitates you towards SO which gives fire rate anyways (which also builds up instantly by spamming jettison). I'm not cocky enough to make a build order yet but so far I'm not seeing anything too insane. Build order for the major stuff from what I've done is>trophy > improved spirit > fort => buster > toxic > overflow => expansion (cast range is important jfc) > boundless > transcendent > silencer > eshift > flexBoundless might be redundant but the damage might be the difference since sometimes you can't initiate with jettison.
>>585013348Overwatch is way worse than Rivals Rivals never reworked Roadhog to remove his horseshit oneshot combo, forgot to actually remove the oneshot combo, and then buffed him to make it more consistent, 2 separate times
>>585013996>blocking vertical holes and to cut off chasing enemies?I wonder what McGinnis uses her wall for...
>>585013565I think it's rather cool how literally all results for Violet feedback are tearing her character and request rewrites.And that's the public feedback, can't imagine how the private posts are where you don't need a dozen disclaimers
What can I do against fed Zombot as Kali? And no don't say EMP grenade or tech purge
>>585013781They're always female anyway because men universally don't give a shit about self-inserting or representation, they'll play any character they think is cool and/or that they want to fuck
>>585013461There's also a ton of little side paths you can take now, there aren't nearly as many spots where migu's wall guarantees that rape will occur
>>585014108Okay so you agree then. Thanks for playing retard.
>>585013996>they're entirely different abilitiesI've been saying that all along. Violet walls are more versatile than McGinnis ones, for the low low "cost" of breaking in one melee instead of two.
I find it incredibly sad and telling that two of the most attractive characters are voted last

Not enough Danny appreciation. Violet is too gay and lame to enjoy, post goofy skeleton war criminal.
why does danny do self damage to jump around and proc his own indomitable?abrams doesnt proc his own indom when he charges into a wall, viscous doesnt proc his own indom when he cubes himselfits like someone on the dev team had a huge hateboner for the bone man and did everything in their power to nigger him before release

>>585015507>queue for Danny with token>Violet on low prio>get VioletBruh. Is the biggest "hit" of the heroes? Everyone wants to play him. A lot of people dropped Solomon and Baba almost instantly
>>585015403
>>585008569Which seat is it lads?3 for me so we dp mina
>>585013565Trans chink Pinocchio would be a far more interesting angle then the self insert shit we got desu, obviously prefer without the trans allegory but still.
>Harrow looks like a tired bitch who's done with your shit (this is hot)>They somehow strip all of that away before shes even out
>>585015678Yeah Danny so far from what I've seen (EU) is the most popular out of the new heroes metaslaves jumped ship after Baba's nerf and Solomon is whatever Rat King's 4 is still broken thats probably the only reason people still play him

Teach me about counter items and when to use them!!
Everything is wrong with Violet its crazy even her critical portrait looks stupid does this look like someone on critical hp? no it looks like she dropped her sandwich on the floor this has to be the most self insertiest insert character ever im surprised when she's killed she doesn't go "whatever i'll be back pfft"

>>585015507Sorry, another 5 undeserved nerfs for Warden and we also made Sinclair's vexing bolt do half damage to heroes as well.>>5850157178, you can hear Abrams tell you funny detective stories and Dynamo is a chill guy, 9 or 10 would also be incredibly fucking funny because Ivy would piss Seven off by just being there and Venator would murder Drifter.

>>585016598Violet isn't canon
>>585012715Russians will save us
>>585016702I didn't even make the mod, I said I did to make retards like you call someone a schizo for rightfully hating a shit character. You're fake and gay and should kill yourself.>>585016234Violet's existence shuts him down entirely now, along with most characters that have long range options that are telegraphed.
>>585016161Around a year ago whoever the original writer or writers were got replaced. There's a very noticeable shift from early Deadlock lines where most character zipline voices were introductions or "oh, you're THAT guy, I've heard about you by reputation"Now it's bizarrely personal stuff. Infernus remembers Mina's fake ID from 5 years ago, and now Violet personally knows about some rich girl getting carded in a random Manhattan bar? The entire setting has been shrunk down to the new writer's personal Animal Crossing island where everyone knows everyone and they're all hanging outGraves and Apollo knowing each other from school was justified in the lore (though keep in mind lore can be written to justify anything) but in retrospect it was a marker of the whole shift in writing. Haze, a government secret agent/assassin, is taking Rem on walks in Central Park?
Venator is useless, people just run away from you and you can't do shit.
>>585016806>i was only pretendingWe've done this song and dance a million times, now. Pretending to be a retard still makes you a retard.

>>585013019>GhostchanIt's 4Channelers newfag
>>585016702Solomon's is shit too but it can at the VERY least be interpreted as him finally losing his cool that he has no moves left to make and he's realising that. Violet is supposed to be scared and nervous and when she's on critical hp she just looks like she heard a Lil Wayne song on full blast
>>585016591Has some merit when solomon literally does this
>>585012445There's a reason we call them useful idiots. The problem is that their software works 24/7, so you get collateral damage like them defending objectively dogshit decisions on non-culture war topics or products.
>Violet was planned to be a technical invoker type character>But, they knew that a bunch of people would be coming over from OW, Rivals, so they dumbed her down massively because this type of character (quirky asian woman) is common and massively marketable in these types of games>But they didn't expect her to be so negatively received when everyone was revealed, so as to not make her look bad by coming in last, they rigged the votes in Violet's favor for her to win over Harrow At least it's what i think, Violet and Mina will probably have a lot of skins if they continue to pander to people coming from other games
>>585016873Yes, that is what happens when you don't have any mobility in a game that is defined by your ability to abuse bugs in the shitty movement system.>>585016928You have been keeping up an act for far too long, then.
>>585016729yeah its ridiculousthey also need to tune what counts as LOS for her stunit seems like world geometry blocks it but props dont and as a player the difference is something you can only learn by trial and error
Remember when the ritual used to be this spooky desperate thing that people only did because they had no avenues left and now its "Haha this is kinda fun hey after the ritual wanna get some drinks later? :D"

The smell isn't any better here either the only upside is you can smell Mina so that's good>3 Stuck between a fighting couple and one of them is a bratty vampire and the other has a frog that keeps tonguing your leg. If they aren't using you as an inbetween communication Mina will steal your seat at some point and you're stuck in front of Violet who is currently being dicked down by Billy>4Haze is counting down all the pirated software and movies you've downloaded and is contemplating whether the paperwork is worth turning you in.

>>585012648I love her ass though
>>585014112Even the Violet defenders can't deny that this is the first time a huge part of the playerbase reacted with>you should straight up scrap and rewrite this character, here is my proposalValve has never missed like that before
>>585016963I don't think they rigged the vote for her, she simply had a bunch of dedicated foids and cumbrains voting for her since the start, and everyone else was voting for Rat King and Baba to start.She is, however, the absolute worst addition to the game, and the worst character ever written in any Valve game ever. She's braindead easy to play, the paint gimmick is just powercreeping Kelvin's ice path and McGinnis's wall, along with Sinclair's bolt, and she is just more AoE slop that takes no effort to play.
>>5850157178, easily. Both Abrams and Dynamo are great dudes with a lot of great conversation topics, I probably wouldn't even notice the landing.
>Venator can use his trap to distract towers>Gets hotfixed within days>Solomon and Violet can use their 1 and alt fire to block towers>Still in the gameThis character isn't allowed to have anything
Has anyone seen Sinclair lately? Did they remove him from the game files?
>>585015717>if i become a god by sitting there6>if i don't8
>>585017287He has no reason to exist since Violet's 1 is his Vexing Bolt but better in every way and his ult theft gimmick is bad now. He's just terrible.
>>585017190No anon obviously the fanbase is racist and misogynistic they reacted the same way with Mina Solomon Silver and Baba its not the character being written like shit its this disgusting bigoted chud fanbase that HATE women so much that Haze and Wraith are constantly the most played characters whether they're trash or not
why are all Abrams players mentally retarded, like why are they all so shit at this game
>>585017150I hate modern women so much. I'm a normal guy, healthy, /fit/, I make an above medium wage job and have my own place. But I don't get to cum inside that. Women like Violet have been poisoned by modern SJW ideologies and hypergamy so that "normal average guy" is an untouchable dhalit schmuck. Instead of letting me cum inside her she lets a dog cum inside her. Mental

>>585017398discord tranny hands pecked up this post as bait
>>585017463Probably because Violet was originally designed to be Invoker but then they went 'wait a minute we have a generic asian whore here, just give her a braindead kit instead and we can use her to sell skins later'. The retards that were pulled into the game by Violet would not have played an Invoker character, so they made her retarded AoE slop that plays itself instead.

>>585018119>i love art-the artist characteralso what in the actual fuck does>sometimes you have to follow where the art leadsmean? huh?
>>585014058Jettison range gets ridiculous, also yeah did a game without boundless and it definitely is redundant>>585015526honestly can't feel the difference, he doens't really have decent sprint speed anyways. Fortitude is purely for the regen to always dive back in after a quick sip.
would a character that works in a hotel as a hero work?
>>585017398Based, hang in there king
>"LET ME SHOW YOU MY MASTERPIECE">It's a purple circular wall???
>>585018112Less than zero, the last time Volvo did anything at a 3rd party event was to announce Portal 2 for PS3.Also the most optimistic prediction for a Deadlock open beta is late 2027 (likely 2028).
>>585018119I used to think Paige was LARP because she only talks about a small handful of writers and basically nothing elseIncredible that Violet's writing is so bad that her mentioning a couple of actual artists would instantly elevate her
>>585018119>I love artHOW IS THIS REAL
>>585013538I've wanted her reworked since 2024. Turrets are incredibly lame since they are individually low impact and will either be useless or gamebreaking, her heal is another nothing ability even if it might be impactful but an AoE HoT with no additional effects is very boring (apparently it now gives spirit res but my point stands), her wall is good although now you can both melee it and it no longer stuns, and her ulti and gun are almost mutually exclusive, which always annoys me.
>>585018237Actually she doesn't even have imposter syndromeImposter syndrome would be>Violet makes amazing art but doesn't think she does herselfInstead its>Violet makes amazing art but is worried she won't get the recognition she thinks she deservesShe basically has delusions of grandeur
>>585018447Miku Ginnis heal used to be good because it increased fire rate but that got removed
>>585018119you know the I love art line can work if the delivery is good if Drifter the killer said >i love killingit would work because his VA is not shit except Violet says this line in the most generic way possible its literally "I love Art." its so fucking stupid and shit
>>585018348>didn't censor the victor spotted comm>didn't censor the archmothers name>didn't censor the posterit's actually fucking over for you lmao
>>585018397I'm starting to think that those characters aren't supposed to be posers, it's just that the writers are incompetent and don't know anything.>the height of Paige's literary references is Wuthering Heights>hah, maybe she really is a poser>Violet brings up Wuthering Heights too out of nowhere>...>...>this is the only book the writer has read isn't it
>>585018119>"I am art"incredible work, valve tranny writers
>>585016290>>585016494>>585016591>>585017938insane mental illness
>>585017287he is the neglected child along with warden
>>585018397Paige's references being to Arthurian Legends + shit your read in middle school is infinitely deeper then someone who doesn't even throw around words like "Impressionism", "Brutalism" etc.Also a character obsessed with Arthurian legend being a "Page" is cute for the double pun tbqh.
>my bait isnt working>quick mass reply!shut up and go back
>>585018562>I love Lenny>I love Jesus>I love murder>I love Lash>I love my wife>I love chess>I love hotels>I love alcohol
>Riot shelving the LoL MMO to make a Deadlock cloneWhat's more likely? Pozzed designs out the ass or Chinese same face women everywhere? I say this because Riot does both though I can't remember the last time they made a very pozzed design in LoL or Valorant. I think it was Mel back in early 2025.
Even current Violet wouldn't be as bad if it was explicitly clear that the losers of the ritual either permanently die or live but are hurt in some way, but as it stands there's literally dialogue about getting pizza and drinks together for KILL linesSo Violet being a naive retard who's in a life or death ritual for FAME would look like a naive retard if she actually does lose and her soul taken or whatever but nope she's getting beers with Billy and stroking Victor's cock after
>>585006479>could have had grayscale schizo artist that makes colorful weird abstract shapes and summons>instead got the valorant self insert
>>585018451Her art is featured in MoMA, one of NYC's biggest and most prestigious art galleries. She's not delusional about grandeur, she's doing the gay millennial thing where you pretend your achievements don't exist so you can LARP as an oppressed little guy/gal foreverHer voice lines about having a full ride scholarship (which no doubt includes dorm and/or rent assistance) but still worrying about rent reminds me of people I've met in college dozens of times. They're richfag international students(btw Violet immigrated to the US when she was 12), their wealthy parents back home send them upwards of 5000 USD a month for living expenses, but they imitate local students and whine about money and claim to be broke all the time
>>585018760damn you really are retarded
at what point do you give up
>>585018760Nigga you fell for an inspect element trick
>>585018586I'd doubt they even read the book and probably just played that gacha game that based their characters on books
>>585018760>Pozzed designs out the ass or Chinese same face womenporque no los dos o algo
>>585018562Drifter saying stupid shit works because he's an unironic edgelord.
>>585006479>>585018792They could have just made a hot female Dali-esque schizo artist, instant homerun
>>585018007Her abilities are all kinda ass but she doesn't need abilities when sliding around mowing people down is as fun as it is
>i love walking into people why they're asleep and assassinating themdamn haze's writing is FIRE
>>585018727Lash just randomly saying "I love Lash" unprompted is 100% in-character though

>>585018886Shit I would have taken a Frido Kalo, who also was an egotistical nepo baby whose parent's connections are the only reason her work got remembered... shit there is so much potential for ACTUAL imposter syndrome in that shit why the FUCK didn't they go for it. Just do that shit where she thinks capturing the Patron's incarnation into the world would be "Real Art"

>>585018792unironically makes me mad. stuff like chessmaster or baba yaga is very limited but art character... we could have had the most peak hero in the game, so much fucking potential.
>>585018053>I have ethnic insecurities about white womenThis shit is so funny man
>>585013538>>585018447In TF2 sentries are very powerful but require time investment from engineers to set up, and are immobile (Rescue Ranger aside)You can't have that in Deadlock because the fights are so fluid and the map is so open with so many traversal options. There aren't many chokepoints worth holdingDevs went with the Overwatch option where Torbjorn can just throw out his turret for free and it sets itself up and shoots upon landing, no need to invest time/resources in the setupHowever (and this is probably a bad thing) Deadlock is so AOEslopped that if you leave one random turret somewhere, it will die from AOE effects without anyone even looking at it. And again, if you only have a single turret, fights will just move aroundTo avoid all those pitfalls the devs gave McGinnis multiple turrets but she was too annoying so they gutted the turret hero to make her not go turret anymore Inb4 mentioning other games sets off the resident schizo
>>585015974>>585016164Unironically imagine if they wrote Harrow to be Violet's therapist and they're panic scrapping it
violet haters be like why wasn't she an ugly unibrow freak? didn't they think of le art history?

>>585019227Paige isn't even neurotic, the voice line was 100% Violet's writer dumping her Asian diaspora politics.And why the fuck does Violet know Paige personally? Paige isn't a public figure like Danny or an urban legend like Drifter, she just runs a bookstore and she's here to look for her missing brother. It's the whole "everyone knows everything about everyone now" bullshit again
>>585016953>>585016702Solomon's was more okay because people LOSE in chess and make a particular expression when it happens, you can't hand wave Violet's with "erm she looks like an artist thinking!" And remember it's about abundance as well. JUST Solomon doing it tolerable, both of them though? IdkHonestly critical portraits this patch have been weirdly toothless. No blood or anything

Thank you anon
>>585018562Violet is played way too straight
>>585019714If they wanted to sell skins they would make her hot like Mina"Hot Asian chick" and "neurotic, liberal Asian woman" appeal to two very different groups of customersPlayers who like hot Asian chicks would happily buy the new Summer Days Mina cosmetic set that lets you give her a beach umbrella, 2-piece bikini and sunglassesPlayers who selfinsert as the neurotic Asian lady will get mad at the first group for supporting cosmetics that sexualize female bodies and indirectly contribute to the patriarchy

I've seen colored circle range indicators in old youtube video. Has those been completely removed from the game?
Btw the Archmother would use politically correct language while the Hidden King just outright says BWC and Bleaching
>>585019997She's bland and inoffensive though, unlike Mina who is a huge bitch. That's what you want, you want a bland and inoffensive character to be your skin whore.>>585019887Well we already know Violet is a stupid poser so she probably wasn't even aware that she could fuck dogs all she wanted without attending occult bloodsports.

>Violet's release marks the peak of Deadlock's concurrent player countIs it a bunch of newfags or just returning players (also fags)?
>>585020232I need this meme but it's Violet and the Hidden KingArtists, if any can hear me, please...
>>585016818It's a bit stupid but at the same time there's no other way to flesh out the characters as of now. My concern is rather tone, it's become significantly less serious and more about slice of life for young pretty tumblr characters the last two hero batches. The last batch with silver, celeste, graves and apollo was a resounding blow for tumblrina fanshippers, and these people need to be kept on a short leash or whatever setting they grab ahold of will become extremely fucking lame, and I don't even mean SJW shit here.
>>585020420>She's bland and inoffensive though, unlike Mina who is a huge bitch. That's what you want, you want a bland and inoffensive character to be your skin whore.No? The only factor that matters for skin whoring is how hot the skin whore is. Guys are willing to overlook any flaw as long as the woman is hot and they can fetishize her(Evil villainess? Dommy mommy. Older lady? Hag MILF. Mentally ill? Need me a crazy bitch. Etc...)In fact Mina being a huge bitch 100% contributes to people putting her in rape scenarios and shit

if we got neon prime we would've never had violet btw so all you haters apologisethe reality is everyone would be like violet

>>585016161
>>585020959>Additionally, prior to the Old Gods, New Blood update, Venator used to have an ability called "Penace and Retribution", a passive that would grant Venator stacking bullet and spirit resistances as he took sustained damage.

Venator's trap is so funny when you compare it to Spirit Snare, or Grasping Hands, or Binding Word

>>585021757kill yourself
>>585021968im brick actually
>>585021576Anon if you look at the datamined info all of the abilities were tagged with 'artist_' which is exactly what Violet is in the code. She was going to be Invoker but then Valve realized that Invoker is too hard to sell skins to stupid subhuman foids.
>>585021974Real talk, I desperately hope they realize what a mistake Violet was I don't think they'll do a comprehensive rewrite of her character but a pivot away from whatever design philosophy lead to this unironic Saints Row reboot style of character would be nice
>>585021974>art majorDidn't she go to art school? Art academies do not have majors, only colleges do. They have departments, like conservatories.Was this entire character AI generated?
Valve truly has the best writers
>>585021974she is one lol
>>585021968>Anti-tank>Flat damageYou are stupid
>>585021594They also get perfectly accurate guns with gigantic magazines and free bonus damage on their gun because they get a passive ability that requires 0 thought at all to use because it is literally just 'shoot someone to do more damage to them'
spellbreaker should work over one or two seconds not for only the instance it was activated by
people might actually use violet's m2 if it was a soft vector target instead of 3d space drag, it NEVER ends up being in a shape that i want to draw
there should be more builds that are just condensed versions of the shop with all the items you MIGHT want on that character
>>585021968venator doesnt do shit in "pro" games except be an ult bot btw. every time wraith is picked she out performs.

>>585022161>The same company that wrote Portal now has characters saying this shit
One of the ways they could fix Violet's writing is add conversations between her and Silver where they flirt and talk dirty and make out on the mic (and add the animation for that on the zip line)
>>585022486easily
>>585018186that's heavily subjective, and you need to say who exactly you find fun to play against. in reality, the best thing a designer can do is make sure that each hero is as fun as they can be.
>>585022475i don't want to ram a screwdriver into my ears when i hear solomon talk

>>585022948still better than whatever the fuck violets voice""ACTOR"" does
>>585023002Her winrate is higher than I think every other new character on release except Rat King, everyone else was like 30% or lower.I played as and against her and she is genuinely fucking obnoxious and OP as shit, while taking absolutely no skill to play. She's pure powercreep on top of being dull as fuck.
>>585022909we need more solomon - billy type conversations where they get pissy with him for being hustled
we got a chess hero but no checkers hero? fuck off icefrog you hack
>>585023002i think its awesome how violet can get tankbuster and spirit burn and if you try to ever chase her you have to do the equivalent of a sinner's sacrifice punching her retarded paint walls but they explode you

>>585023126They do a fucking lot of damage, imagine if Mcginnis wall did damage when you punched it.

How does a Fresh off the Boat Chinese immigrant character get away without a single line in Chinese BTW?>>585023241Are they really that busted? I'll give you Wraith being the best M1 in the game but Solomon is comparable to Paige (whose currently way more busted), and Calico has been heavily nerfed by the map changes

>>585023235What the fuck is going on over at valve? Did gaben lay off HR or whatever filters dogshit writers from getting hired?
>>585023436No, they just decided to hire the retard who wrote Saints Row 4
>>585023398>How does a Fresh off the Boat Chinese immigrant character get away without a single line in Chinese BTW?Because she's a self insert by a 2nd-3rd gen Chinese woman who doesn't know a word of Chinese and has a white BF please understand>>585023241MoKrill is Jewish though?
I play doorman a lot so I never really notice it, but when I get to see how he moves from "3rd person", it actually is pretty creepy and unnerving, no wonder so many characters have suspicions

>>585011280>the entire point of Frankenstein's monster, which is that, while handsome, he's also without any depth. Like the whole 'Things that are perfect are usually soulless' cautionary tale that any non-retarded writer would be familiar with?That isn't actually the point of Shelley's Frankenstein btw. The point is the monster is treated terrible by his creator and townspeople but is ironically a pure soul despite his origins and others opinions of him.

>>585023784>>585023968That's just Grimstroke.Now putting Grimstroke in Deadlock wouldn't be a problem, but the difference is Grimstroke is really fucking cool and well designed and has great voice acting so she's just a massive downgrade if they do that.
>>585023821It's implied he's magically enslaved or brainwashed by fairfax.

Lucky Shot Violet.Think about it.
>>585023639Acktually she stole that idea from Negroes
>>585024492Rape is power + prejudice, so no
>>585024362violet murdering her parents is too off tone. if i were to be asked to redo her lore, it would be something that suits her personality: maybe she encountered a mythical chinese entity in a dream and then woke up with paint powers. she's entered the ritual at its request. ez pz
>>585024569You can't consent when your judgement is impaired by drugs
>>585023526>Because she's a self insert by a 2nd-3rd gen Chinese woman who doesn't know a word of Chinese and has a white BF please understandYou can literally tell this is true, and that she is one of those ugly loud annoying ones who insisted to the team that she knew exactly how to make the design interesting and relatable to the community, and none of the other designers were willing to tell her no

>>585024840Dotards bitched a lot about Kez having bad voice acting though.
>>585024840kez got a lot of bitching
>>585024840I fucking hate Hoodwink
>>585024840People hated Marci. Now imagine if Marci talked.
>>585024538>embracead Wtf happened here
>>585024625Nah, just make her imposter syndrome make sense. Have it be her parents bought her way to her entire career, from getting her a full ride to getting her in MoMA. Boom, now her being in a death battle against their wishes makes sense. In the same way everyone Black person in this setting is a psychic, they've already established every Asian person is rich, not a stretch to make her family on good terms with the Fairfaxes
>>585024874>>585024884And Ringmaster for scrapping his more interesting spells, even though his visuals and voice are perfect.>>585025001Marci being mute saves her and made her a fine character.
>>585024660It's in our best interest this is true, because how hard she's getting shit on ensures it'll never happen again
>>585024153Would be more interesting if he was just like that
>people hate Marciwhat is this meme
>>585024840Dota 2 heroes post WC3 models fucking suck aesthetically (yes yes the fairy is extremely sexy we get it) and even the dota cast from WC3 has a bunch of really shitty models, someone post that drawing with furion, slardar and elder titan showing how raped they became.
>>585025123anime coomer hero that doesn't fit the aesthetic of dota
>>585024190Strawman argument. No one likes Paige and everyone complained about her during her update for not fitting in. They called her the scooby-doo character.
>>585025123THEY VOTE A CUTE GIRL IN MY GAME OF GOBLINS AND BARA MONSTERS KILL ICEFROG
>>585024190Paige doesn’t talk about 2026 politics
>be rat king>press 1>do 1k damage for freebased
Is "Miku" McGinnis?
>>585025045This also makes her randomly crashing out on Pocket make more sense too
>My flaw? I am TOO perfect >muh weed and hamsters lol *holds up sporkWhy are the chinks like this?
>>585025249You don't vote for dota heroes
>>585025123She was an OC attached to the really bad OOC cartoon
>>585024190Paige's writing is also insanely cringe but at least she isn't an ugly chink
>>585025045>parents actually bought all of her success behind her back>violet is oblivious to this and hates her parents regardless Would be a lot more compelling so of course it wouldn't happen
They’re going just straight up put Zohran Mamdani in this game aren’t they
>>585025327miku is a blue haired anime girl
>>585024190Paige is dogshit but at the very least she has a pleasant personality. Yoko ono is a malignant cunt.
>>585025123You weren't there.
>>585025202
>>585024840I stopped playing before they added most post-WC3 heroes and they don't really fit the established style, Marci is the worst example.WC3 and most Dota 2 heroes have exaggerated silhouettes so they read well in the RTS perspective but Marci is literally just "girl".
>>585025303>press 2>shred 38% bullet resist for free>press 3>get 1k health, return fire and spellbreaker for free>press 4>win team fight for free
>>585024190There’s schizo ramble post at the bottom of last thread about this. You’re just a disingenuous faggot.
>>585023723>>585023784Better idea>Add her dad to the game>He's an incredibly powerful ancient Chinese sorcerer and by far the most fucking evil character in the entire cast, hates and is hated by absolutely everybody with no positive interactions whatsoever, zero redeeming qualities at all>Her biggest grudges against him being that he forced her to learn an instrument and is disappointed in her life choices becomes actually funny parody
>>585025443Would also make sense why her art knowledge is limited to, "I LOOOOOOVE Art", she actually is a talentless hack spraying magic paint around and nothing else.
>>585023639>pure soulinnocent, not pure. the monster is not a good person because he isn't a person at all.
Violet's writing critism would've been taken seriously if it had some actual argumentation, all I see on /dlg/ is spamming the same one-liners, strawman arguments, sperging, meming, shitposting, pissing and shitting. Only seen like 3 posts in the last 15 threads that had actual argumentation, the rest come off as ESL thirdworlders spamming buzzwords they heard on social media from their favorite ecelebs.
>>585025781nice ad hominem
Why are queues so long?
>>585025781well i hope mine have been actual arguments i try to argue in good faith whenever possible
>>585025781Don’t like liberals
>>585025867The hero ban system
>>585025781The ecelebs love her tho...
>>585025781She is afraid of being a failure. Yet has a dedicated art exhibit in the MoMA as a teen. Lmfao
>>585025781>People posting novels about why exactly Violet is bad>I MEAN YEAH BUT MOST OF THEM AREN'T???? I DON'T GET IT???Starting to believe that 'Leftist discourse is pretending they don't understand the argument, making argument impossible' post more and more.
after match chat needs to last a lot longer
>>585025616If yoshi added Fu Manchu I will forgive everything>>585025679Have every character know Violets success is bought but they treat her with kiddie gloves cause they don't want to break the illusion and also don't want to piss off her influential parents. Even Seven/Doorman/Drifter are scared of her parents
>>585025202>yes yes the fairy is extremely sexy we get itWe ALL say this and want her in Deadlock btw
>>585025775I don't think Mary Shelley would agree with you
>>585025867EOS soonYoshi saw Violet's reception on /dlg/ and decided to shut down the game
>>585025974Hoodwink first
>>585025781No one is makes sound argumentation on a /dlg/ thread. Go to the forums for actual corpo speak arguments.
>>585025931I saw a good argument for this, no one could name an artist featured in MoMA today. It's the world man, even if you MAKE it you still are a nobody. As a diaspora immigrant she must feel this struggle even more
>>585025974I can't stand another flying hero, danny is incredibly obnoxious.
>>585023639That really has nothing to do with what the guy said. Frankenstein's Monster looks uncannily handsome because he was made to be 'perfect', and perfect things often look uncanny/lack soul. Anon wasn't incorrect in his statement unless he stated that Victor is an ass, which wasn't what he said.
>>585024190I like PaigeI dont like violetSimple as
So they're nerfing Violet right? Either her hp per boon or something. It makes no sense how she can just slide you down with a long ass tun paired with a 4 second silence ult. She is so overtuned it's insane.

>>585025781The "lore" of this game is such a trainwreck at this point that there's nothing to argue over
>>585025781
>>585025867>>585025902Also the priority token system which they never should have brought back
>>585017190While I don't think Violet is characterized well at the moment, a lot of the 'everyone hates her' is bandwagoning. It's easier to agree with a majority, and it amplifies what's actually wrong beyond a reasonable metric, and since most the people spewing shit aren't making coherent points, it also muddies actual criticism into a giant "it's bad because everyone says it's bad" sludge. There are great points that people have made, her reasoning for being in the ritual is weak as fuck, and while others also have weak reasons, those others also have better backgrounds to establish why they'd be stupid enough to embrace those stupid reasons (Vyper/Silver as examples) so that there is little dissonance.

>>585027479>and while others also have weak reasons, those others also have better backgrounds to establish why they'd be stupid enough to embrace those stupid reasons (Vyper/Silver as examples) so that there is little dissonance.she could be way more obsessive over her art, right now she's like quirky cheery art student but if she was like a mad artist obsessed with recognition and legacy it would make more sense she'd go to such an extreme solution like the ritual to achieve it
>>585024840remember 7.00 MK?
>>585025576>saves dota in 2020>saves deadlock in 2027She's so powerful...
>>585028669>>585028669Yeah, her reason doesn't even really need to change, but her normal person personality does not match the energy that such a reason implies at all. Wanting the opportunity to expose your art to the world is absolutely something an artist would want, writers, artists, indie game devs, they all know damn well that luck is a huge fucking factor to success while "making it good" is the baseline to get in the door. But her extensive set of dialogue doesn't really sell that desperation, and her backstory indicates she already has a level of success but not the delusion to think she is owed more. It's honestly not that far off from a good setting, but she isn't selling it yet and people are correct to notice that, and I hope that is the feedback that makes it through the absolute fucking deluge of 'CHARACTER SHIT' posts
I don't mind pockets pronoun shit, but it's unrealistic that *everyone* respects it
>>585027092Trannies will latch onto violet and finally leave mina alone. Never understood the Mina attachment anyway, she's most likely on the roster to hate them to the core
i haven't seen kidnap doorman in a while, is it still worth building or did they intentionally make the walker areas really big and open to prevent this playstyle?
>>585027750>wave clear>farmingany character can heavy melee
