Yer Welcum!
I'm not posting in the yuritranny thread
what's the eta on medical hag pussy
>>585125214Exclusively for other women. Harrow is yuri-coded
>>585125004HARROW MY QUEEN
It's Harrow day, we're posting in the Harrow thread
>>585125118>kills all my desire to play deadlockHow did she do it?
this one
>Fight Warden who built a Victor build as him>Almost won if they didn't respawn near the endI'm so upset I lost to this shit as Victor.
Who else is ready to RAPE some people with Harrow today?
>>585125482RAPE EM MO
>>585125214Shota and nursing handjob coded.
Post your final Harrow count
>>585125482Raped.
>last character releases todayWell, what's next?Another year of waiting?
>>585125482Raping Ronnie has a gift for you. Surprise its rape!
I have not opened Deadlock since Violet's release
I'm not posting in the yurishit thread
>>585125482Let's see what this dick can do.
>>585125651Me neitherI needed a break anyway
My friend just started playing, is Rem good to learn the game on? I figure Rem is good because shitlow doesn't even realize sinners exist so he can just steal all theirs without contest.
>foid voice "Let's go rape the Haze">>585125615We wait for all the casuals to stop spamming rk/baba/solo/vio and maybe the game will be playable.
>>585125678this video killed twitterfags because it was made with AI btw
>>585125678
SOONHopes?Fears?Predictions?
The game needs a Cleopatra mummy girl. Mummies were all the rage in the 20s and 30s.
do NOT let Rem and Harrow in the same lane.
>>585125770Any character is good to learn the game since they all play differently.
>>585125678Why did Haze deny having a kid?
>>585125839that's cool, you should go back
>>585125987>HopesShe'll be fun and well characterized >FearsShe'll be Violet 2
https://files.catbox.moe/e2eutp.mp4
>>585125770No, Rem is a character who plays a completely different game than the others and ignores many of the mechanics. I'd recommend Kelvin to start with. I started with him myself, and in my opinion, he's the best starting character.
>>585126062Black people dont raise kids
>>585126009these memes have taken haze from one of my least favourite characters to one of my most
>>585125615Probably at least 6+ months until we see another batchI'm still holding out on that May 17th/18th Cadence show theory
>>585125589>>585125651im not that strong I did like 5 matches as opposed to 20-30
Start imbuing Mystic Reverb onto Danny's 2
>>585125987>Hopes?Carry.>Fears?Support.>Predictions?Support.
Start imbuing Mystic Reverb onto pockets 2
imbue mystic reverb on venator traps
>>585126285This game doesn't need more carry or AoEslop, if you don't want to fall asleep playing a support right now it's slim pickings.
Start imbuing Mystic Reverb onto your penis before plapping Geist so that every thrust you make, she feels it twice as hard
>harrow releases>errrmmmm did I just heal that guy? i think i diduh oh
>>585126420the game does in fact need more interesting gun carries
>>585126432>Uses her fear ability on enemies>Errmmm... welp, THAT just happened!
>>585125987>HopesA good addition to the game>FearsMakes me not want to play Deadlock like baba/vio do.
>>585126285A bit odd to think that a character based on being a nurse would ever be a carry but I respect it
>>585126432>oops, zat was not ze poison dart
>>585126516Yes but also this can be fixed by reworking most of gun items (that are honestly quite lame)
>>585125089buh bye!
>>585125987>Hopes?walking heal bane hag>Fears?needles>Predictioni got nothing
Unironically the only good addition this batch so far has been Danny.
>>585125987Hope she is like Caustic from Gaypex Lesbians.Fear she is like overwatch Ana.Prediction she is like Ivy Deadlock.
>>585125589
>>585125482>>585125549I'm going to rape!
>Cums inside Celeste>Use Refresher so I'm hard again without any refractory periodTHAT'S how human men can keep up with a mare
>>585126764they've all been good, no addition feels superfluous
>he hasn't taken the spirit rat pill
>>585126765>Ivy saved the game in 2024>Harrow (Ivy 2) saves the game in 2026holy kino...
>>585125987>Hopes?a m1gger with some support gimmicks>Fears?a left click brainless healer a la overwatch/rivals>Predictions?I am bad at her thus making my endless shilling for her seem like secondary drivel
this game is full of reddit fags. you type nigger in the chat and they all clutch their pearls and cry youre a racist. fucking nigger lovers
>>585125770here u go
>>585126923>most souls but 3rd lowest damage and lowest kills yeah i think I'll continue to not take that pill
>>585125987>Hopes?spirit hybrid m1gger. POS1 of course>Fears?Rivals/OW support>PredictionsHopes.
>>585126921nta but three ultsloppers and baba the rapemachine
>>585125987>Hopes?shes fun and has interesting lore>Fears?shes broken (either OP or completely useless) and has no interesting interactions with anyone
>>585126764I like Ratking other than the Aura on his ult and Solomon could be cool when he gets more counterplay patched into his ult.
>>585125987>Hopes?M1 carry offhealer>Fears?"Hold right click to heal" support >Predictions?My 100 votes go down the drain if she's hard to play
There needs to be an item that cleans all the persistent damage auras off the ground Paige, Infernus, Geist, GravesGonna throw shit like Talon traps, Danny mines, and Solomon squares in there tooFucking tired of just being unable to engage because there's nowhere to fucking stand without getting cursed, marked, spirit sapped, and taking damageGimme a bucket of water so I can just get this shit off the ground
>>585126906Why is it always Vindicta?
>>585126950ivytards are so deluded
>>585126426She would only feel it 1.5 times as hard though.
Some "people" really want Harrow to be a M1gger, retard-chama...
>>585127209we needed new heroes with strong ults to compete with lash and dynamo, otherwise there's no reason to pick them over lash and dynamo. solomon is easy to backline gank and RK is a traditional tank, so it's not like he can act like burst assassin like an abrams or mo can. danny was also much needed because his jetpack mechanic actually makes him hard to deathball with, so he's a real threat for dynamo and lash
>>585126961>>585127317I hope she's hard to play in the mechanically intensive aspect and not in the "she requires perfect positioning at all stages of the game or you just lose" like Ven.
>>585126906>>585127350Vindicta is such ryonabait rapemeat
>>585127421I don't want her to be, but it's weird we got zero of them this time and she does have a gun...
I hate Mina so much it's unreal
>>585125987>HopesShe's fun and complex enough to filter out shitters>FearsAll the bitches that didn't care about her suddenly want to play her and get in my way>PredictionsUnderpowered at launch, slight buffs tomorrow
>>585126950If harrow rapes all the other characters except Danny I'll be happy.
>>585126432>Heh, don't worry if you don't have insurance, this ones on the house!>This wouldn't be killing you if you masked up!
>>585127132They'll never add a Mercy/Ana type. It messes with the dynamic of a moba too much. Look how stingy they are with health packs.
>>585127632...first one made me laugh. It's over for me.
>>585126209What made Haze your least favorite? Her dialogue is some of the best in the game
>>585127547My favorite bit is the prediciton kit for Danny being gun and then a day after release (and with buffs) everyone realized he's spirit or at best, hybrid even with his built in gun resist shred.
Ive operated in north ixia
>>585127557>New York will be my breeding ground
What do you classify as a "flawed enough" character in Deadlock? I saw somebody a couple threads back call Silver a tough girl flawless Mary Sue, but she's portrayed as an alcoholic that's genuinely stupid and getting by bounty to bounty and bumming it in the sewers.
>>585127736not the least favourite, just one of themits mostly because she's blackmy least least favourite is wraith
Rat King will never be balanced. It's not possible with an ult like his. I don't know what Yoshi was thinking. Dota had an item called Wraith Pact that did the same thing as Rat ult and it got deleted because it was too cancerous.
>>585127330>We get Silencer but instead of a combat mage it's instead an angry magical janitor/garbage man who's sick and tired of all this magical residue being kicked around so his entire schtick is removing lingering effects and buffs while reducing spirit damage
>>585127843Bold to assume anyone at valve thinks
>>585126432I hope she's an unapologetic smug asshole like yamato
>>585127843Just make his ult centaurs ult with a wave of rats charging along with RK.
>>585127831It's because she's too pretty for an alcoholic
>>585126764Danny, Rat King and Solomon are good, they'd screech misogyny if I posted this elsewhere but baba and violet just aren't doing it for me. Praying Harrow's cool
>>585128018it's not getting changed chuddyand while we're on this topic, why don't RKs buy refresher?
>>585127831because despite all of these flaws the game makes silver out to be cool and hot instead of a loser
>>585127831Most of the characters with ONE shining exception are p a'ight. This entire batch has had stinkers that don't go up to their fullest potential. Baba and Solomon don't go nearly far enough with their gimmicks but even then they are "fine", just not great.
>>585127831>mary suethey're retarded everybody shits on her. she was boring as fuck though. considering she was described as girlfailure she was woman fuckup mogged by vyper so her personality fell flat.it wasn't until this very update that we learned a possible reason of her alcoholism and depression is because she failed to stop shiv/drifter from doing some unspeakable heinous act (lots of murder most likely). this does decontextualize her dgaf attitude and self loathing as her being a major fuckup vs just being a piece of bottom scum like vyper (who takes it in strides)
>>585128110>why don't RKs buy refresher?Rk players are retarded
>>585127839Incredibly boring answer
>>585127963>yam>smugI would not describe her personality as smug.
>>585128257I hate niggers anon
How do i get gud at movement? I feel like this is probably one of my weakest areas of gameplay is there a good practice map or do i just setup macros and stuff on the practice map
da baxtuh society has yo numbah
Was it autism?
>>585128267Yeah I added smug just before I was going to hit post, I should've restructured my sentence, I hope Harrow's a smug unapologetic asshole
>>585126921Nah, RK being powercrept Warden (with a different but much stronger ult) genuinely fucking sucks. In a game without skins or having to pay to unlock heroes, it's fucking hilarious they hit Warden the way they did just to release NuWarden the next day
>>585125589all from standard/ranked
>>585128389extreme tsundere energy
>>585128398I think harrow will likely be a serious character like Ven and Yamato. But we'll see.
>>585128337heard you the first time, generic reason. Boring.
>>585126432ZAT WAS NOT MEDICINE
>>585128184>baba and solomon don't go far enoughmeaning?>>585128421warden is being reworked and RK lacks lockdown and hypercarry potential
Every time they add a new conversation for Billy they make him more of a loser.
>*Kills Deadlock*
>>585128389she wants cock
>>585126921Baba and Rat King are horrible for the game. Danny is a balance nightmare (like all flyers). Solomon wouldn't be so bad if his ult wasn't particle vomit.
>>585128389We need more chars like Yam. She's one of the few that actually ecapsulates the general feelings of the time.
>>585126906>>585127350>>585127498>"This one is for Charlie"
>>585128614Solomon needs the second stun on his ult fucking removed, he's fine after that
>>585128746It only stuns on the second aoe, the first one just does damage/slows
>>585128603>Two convos telling her to fuck off>One generic convo where the alcoholic is going to a barAnd to think this is what passes for yurifags.
>>585128389>Asian woman is tsundere for BWCMany such cases!
Justice for Harrow's eyebags.
>on win streak>get russians on team that call each other pigs and argue>loseits totally western propaganda that made everyone hate russians tooottaaalllyyyy its just that damn cia propaganda
>>585128565I mean personalitywise, I'm bitching in the same way as last thread but Solomon should be more "American gods chess hustler" and Baba more of a Baby Eating Hag. I like the suggestion I've seen floating around where Solomon's queen has his wife's soul trapped in it. I want some fucking edge, I love Danny because he's an unironic war crimes shill. As it stands both Solomon and Baby are nothing but wise old mentor characters who at the very least have some NYC flavoring.
It feels unrealistic that characters like geist, yamato and paige don't call people niggers and other slurs.
>>585128389First time I heard this I laughed my ass off, Yamato's great at being accidentally funny
Harrow SOONhttps://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/f/fb/Medic_taunts06.wav
>>585128369Just go to explore New York, turn off towers with the debug menu and try random rotations you've done. Prior to the new map and heroes I'd have said street brool but I don't think New Broadway is as good for learning movement as old Broodway was.
>>585128614both the ult and the rooks VFX will probably be adjusted
>>585128813His dick is black
>>585128813Would you kill yourself if Vic's dick was from a black dude?>>585128859It's way more unrealistic everyone respects Pocket's pronouns even the Patrons
>>585128809Look we take what we get in this day and age. You hetfags got an entire conversation about her and Abrams (bleh), you let us have our ship. We live in fascist times where they have to use allusion to get past the censors, we know what the writers actually intend.
Need Harrow and her cute little flat chest in a bikini.
>>585128389She's so fucking based We need more deadpan autists to counter the theatre kid bullshit in new heroes
>>585128389>only female character that doesn't sploosh all over the place at victor.based yammy
>>585128859Geist would use Negroe she isn't some crass hick who would say that aloud.
>>585128852>Solomon and Babylmao, caught you phone posterBaba having an even lamer ult line than Graves is def not helping her
>>585125987>HopesShe's a good character>FearsBoring badly written hagslop
what if grey talon is half white
>>585129002>>585129005>Asian hero has a tsundere interaction with a white hero>Anon immediately brings up black cocks out of nowhere
>>585128603throwing a bone to shippers is always a mistakeeven the slightest hint of shipping invites a horde of obnoxious tumblr faggots (who are all shit at the game or don't even play it) to permanently shit up the discourse around the game.
>>585129074Anon, women dropping their spaghetti at handsome men happens all the time. She's just playing hard to get.
>>585129193>white herohe is literally mixed
>>585129191he'd be white + red so it would be pink talon
>>585129064>flat chestTAKE YO BROKE ASS BACK TO IVYPOSTINGHARROW IS FOR PAIZURI
>>585129191His son ran off for some Ixian slut. There's a 90% chance you're right.
>>585128809Trannies and women are mentally ill, they're going to feed like piranhas over any scraps they can get, no matter what direction its intention heads in. This is why they are ultimately a blight on a games community. Good fucking luck finding any art of drifter and doorman that isn't faggotshit
>rat king ........ is le heckin good bros!!!>gets killed by silver with 10k less souls>gets killed by shiv with 10k less souls>gets killed by giest with 10k less soulsummmmmm ok?
>violet is rightfully pissed that the green lane fed danny fucking 8 kills before 10 minutes>ERRMMM VIOLET IS REALLY HECKIN TOXIC VIOLET MENTALITY DIFF ERRMMMM ERRRRRMMMfucking hate this community so fucking much myself and violet won our lane easily then a lane over theres morons that feed danny and we fucking lose because of it fucking pieces of shit
Pajamas Graves OP with this delivery when?>>585049552Also, how are they gonna nerf tank Graves?
>>585129193Hmm, acshually, HOW do you know if one of Victor's body parts is not from a black man?That seems pretty racist to me.
>>585129202>throwing a bone to shippers is always a mistakePandering to fandom secondaries kills games, and Deadlock has been doing this since 2025
>>585129158Believe it or not I did type out baby on my keyboard lmao. Probably brain crosswired from writing "baby eating hag"
>>585129332Getting killed by heroes with less souls than you isn't a balance gotcha when you have less souls than you them, anon
>>585129264>"That's not what we mean with the term 'mystery meat', but I see how you would interpret it that way."
>>585129065https://cdn.deadlock.wiki/Venator_yamato_conversation_02.mp3 They need to tighten the leash on whover is shitting out celeste/graves/apollo/baba/paige/violet and have whoever did ven/abrams/infernus/geist/doorman/victor/drifter/danny take a predominate role.
>>585129287Padded with medical gauss.
i finally played powerslash yam again, feels so good after grapplegun but its too comp dependent nowadays
>>585129064harrow has literally the biggest tits in the cast
>>585129193Victor is mixed in the most literal sense possible, Retard
>>585128058But if a genuinely ugly female character gets added, people hate them for that exact reason, i.e. half of Apex's ugly ass roster. We got a disheveled scarred attractive woman and that's likely as far as we can really get without "WOKE" arguments so I don't even know any more.>>585128162Half of her interactions are just people calling her a mutt, a bitch, or come across as just kind of stupid and desperate. Again, where's the exact line? Shiv was treated as pretty much perfect for a majority of the time he existed even though he looks like a monkey man.
So what the fuck even is Violet anyway, carry or ganker? Figure with her 3 she wants to always be fighting right?
>>585129465there's simply no reason to not play grapple yam, it's too strong and her other spells are too weak
Just Harrow and her cute flat chest. Oh my pettanko Harrow.
>>585129465grapplemelee is the most fun
>>585129065theater kid bullshit is why Doorman is S tier, what you really mean is they need to counter teenage girl tumblr bullshit
>>585129569BROOLslopper
>>585129465I usually run that but you still need some gun or the just get spellbreaker and it's おわりだ
>>585129193Insecure white boy #300 lol
Yamatos 3 should also scale with melee
>>585129381Isn't "Tank" graves just Graves with Torment Pulse? Also make her scaling worse so she has to get fed more to do the bullshit she currently does, push her deeper into the "Needs farm to be functional" category.That or take her out back and shoot her
>>585129381Either reduce m1 tick rate (keep the dps, reduce procs) or reduce the siphon, likely both
>>585129264>>585129498
Mirage posting on /co/>>>/co/155978632
>>585129432Hopefully Violet's shitstorm was a wake up call to fire whatever mid 30's fat asian woman wanted a self insert and go back to what made the game iconic in its infancy in the first place.
>>585128389MOGGED
>>585129774do you want to kill spirit yam completely...
>>585129640Canon Doorman is great. Fanon Doorman is atrocious and is one of the worst offenders.

>>585129819this shits true for rightoids too, infact that is all modern diologue is nowadays. As for the original point yeah you're right.
violet's kinda fun

>Come Solomon, the Baroness has all the fried chicken and fresh watermelon you can eat.What did Valve mean by this?
>>585129316True.
>>585128267except she is, she has a huge superiority complex
My only hope for Nurse Harrow is that she genuinely doesn't get along with anyone. We need a character that's unapologetically cunty to every single character since that was kind of the vibe the game was supposed to have in the first place. Shitty people killing each other to get their own shitty wish. Instead between Mina, Pocket, Paige (I guess), Billy, Violet, Apollo and Graves we have actual high school drama plotlines and I don't even want to fucking talk about Celeste and Lenny XDDD.
>>585129640There's a difference between actual theatre shit and tumblr shit, internet conversation always means the latter and not the former. Lets face it they have heavy crossover.
>>585129893I fucking hate that line and initially thought someone was shitposting, I also hate Infernus' "lost the plot" line, they would not fucking say that shit in the 40's-50's
>6nh: hideout>ognb: patron/base overhauls>cns: map overhaulso what's next?
>>585130186Maybe the Rooskies aren't such bad people after all.

>>585130015Yes, we know you do Mr. umlungus chudcel
Thank god for Harrow. Big tit enjoyers needed a win. Hopefully Yamato or Vyper will also have big tits after the remodel.
>>585130186One of his arms is literally Ixian retarded tourist>>585130098Yeah that Lenny gonna Lenny shit needs to die, it's tolerable if one or two characters do it, cancer past that
do we know anything about the hideout yet?who's the ghost lady? who's the guy in the painting? how does it connect to the ritual and the patrons? who owns it?
So what's the best harrow build? I think you want lightning scroll.

So I've heard the hideout is allegedly Haze's apartment? Any truth to that?

>>585130186ah, the bot farms are back online
>>585130652Pretty much all fan versions Violet are better than what we gotIn game she'll turn REM into a bloody pool and go "aw he was an eepy guy :D"
>>585130438>>585130652lets not pretend she wouldn't go "ugh i just killed a kid? this is so gonna set my therapy back ugh"
>>585130358I like to maximize the strength of her penis inspection skill myself
>>585130652>>585130438>Violet is just a personality void you have to headcanon her to make her interesting at all2000+ lines btw
>>585130098Even that wont save her just look at Mina.Mina used to be a grade A bitch that was unapologetically only in it for money like go listen to her killing Grey talon she literally tells him to get over his dead kids lmao. But this new update gave her a bunch of retarded voicelines where shes actually nice and caring to some people and implies she actually gives a shit about pocket outside of his money.
>>585130652>>585130438>>585130236
>>585130652Did I just kill that cat... WITH MY MIND?!?!?Anyways, looks like I got some lunch!
>>585130761>kills rem>chuckles>"Damn, I really shouldn't laugh at that"
Violet's stun is such bullshit. It's completely impossible to keep track of The visual indicator is a joke when anything else is happening and it makes barely any sound
>>585130681We did that got bored and destroyed western civilization x2 until the Ami made us release them.
>>585130387someone made it up and you believed it for some reason
>>585130098We'll honestly just have to wait and see where they take the angel side of her character. If she's evil and just using the excuse of knowing what's best for you as a means to force compliance, she's going to be universally despised or feared by all other characters, even Venator who would view her as a devil wearing the guise of the righteous.If she's good, but strict and overbearing in the "You're too stupid to take care of yourself, let me do it for you." I can see her getting along with the pragmatic sort of heroes.Either way, if she ends up somehow being a dud it might just be over.
>>585130813>she actually gives a shit about pocket outside of his money.The worst part of this update after Violet. They ruined Pocket's entire dynamic.
>>585130681Because theyd kill and cannibalize your retarded ass daily.

>>585131121Looking good.
>>585131121not great. Kel'snippety is a shoe in this time
nurse is an angel sent to guide and correct humanity, she just has the old testament burning bush "be not afraid" autism
>>585130186>They're gonna regret making me mad...
>>585131051Because it was too big, no one wanted to bother, and our retarded ancestors decided they made good farming equipment when the Arabs gave them a good deal.
>>585131058rem is so lucky..
>>585125987>Hopesshe's fun and I like using her, and she's good so I don't feel bad spamming her every gameI like heroes with weird mobility so I hope she has something fun to use. Probably not but at least make her a track star like Paige.>Fearsshe doesn't have the tools to compete with the other broken supports. idiots lose their shit over her probably not being an actual angel and compare it to the monster Violet bait and switch. >Predictionsshe'll probably be good if all the new non-Daniel heroes are an indicatorLeach jar and fear probably put her into objective fighter slop tier
>>585131180keep seething
lollollollollollollol
>>58513112150/50 honestly
>>585125987Do you think the bag'll talk too?
>>585130681its all War Crimes this,Code of conduct that
the lesbians are NOT happy with the way you guys make fun of violet's writing, be better
>>585130813That's why I'm hoping her being a relatively deadpan, stick-up-her-ass nurse will keep her in line with the game's fairly meanspirited tone. Eventually all characters kinda started succumbing to "and everyone knew each other and was super nice to each other (except that one fucker they hate.) Everyone except the characters that have a stick up their ass like Doorman and Haze. Haze will always be a fed who has her own agenda, Doorman will always be ambiguously "ex"-evil godlike being etc.
>>585131051Negroes never did nuthin unironicly though. We should of left them in their mudhuts but we just had to import cheap farm equipment and later conquer them for no good reason. The colonization of africa was literally justified as humanitarian action (ending the slave trade and bring civilization to the poor dumb niggers) as a cover for resource exploitation and even more lebensraum for the whiteman (only in the south really)
>>585131437Least racist Violet fan.
>>585131407Silver is supposed to automatically lose! She can't be allowed to have a good match 43% of the time thats too much!
>>585131051Because, believe it or not, few cultures are actually genocidal. Real life doesn't operate like a Paradox game where it's all controlled by a based chud to make the heckin' pop pie charts one color and make Grossgermanium. The biggest factor that sold colonialism to the European public was Christian and societal burden, that your government had to be there to elevate those poor souls into civilization and convert them to Christianity. The atrocities commited in the Belgian Congo for example were broadcast in European newspapers because it worked, the public was appalled.
>>585131121Chudsneed will probably be first and then Snoygoyle, their designs just look more interesting and have wider appeal
>>585131437Incels here need to stop ripping on my comfort characters. Like fuck off you guys have everything tailored for you and you are going to take this away from me?
>new hero about to come out>all the attention seeking parasites come here to post off-topic garbageyou're genuinely pathetic you have literally nothing else to do you're scum
Do you miss old deadlock
>>585128389>people call me an abomination all the time>yet, I can find time to pose naked for strangers Reminder that Violet's writing isn't merely bad, it is a cancer that infects the rest of the game with her shittiness
Who the fuck is Grogu?
>>585131437Because Solomon is less obnoxious despite looking like a Dei Character.
>>585131437>violet fans
violet:grow up graves you're a cliche
>>585131437Why do Violet defenders>ALWAYS >EVERY >SINGLE>TIMEdeflect to Solomon in particular?
>you're genuinely pathetic you have literally nothing else to do you're scum
>>585131437I don't particularly like Solomon much either, but his conversations with other characters at least imply he is powerful, just passive, similarly to the Doorman but without the sinister bend. I don't hate Violet character wise but she doesn't have that nature of her setting to where she fits into the cast. She's an idiot but not enough of an idiot to sell being there.
>>585126764all of them are good for the game but they need to eat 2-3 balance patches first
>>585131749I miss the brighter map.
>>585131749I only miss missing out on the 2024 christmas event, first iteration of ranked, and getting my voting sticker for the first batch.
>>585131437>no real reasonSolomon literally said he's there to nullify retarded wishes>misogynyI want this person to post Baba's hate
>>585131846Ignoring the shitposters, even the ones who defend her unironically(on sites like leddit, xitter, etc) subconsciously know that social justice/oppression terminology is the main cudgel being used.
>>585131846The ONLY people who take issues with Violet are doing so for racist reasons, QED they obviously hate Solomon too
>>585131051If you're looking for an actual answer, no nation really has the ability to completely obliterate the local population and instantly replace it with their own. You'd end with issues getting things done back home, and a mostly empty plot of land that doesn't have enough hands to make use of the new claim. What you actually do is subvert the locals, and keep things going on as usual as you slowly dripfeed your own population into new jobs and encouraging them to start families via incentives, while slowly doing the opposite for the locals.There's also what >>585131612 said, where you need an excuse to get the average person on board with any potential actions.

Final chance to post it, Deadtards.
>>585131818>despite looking like a Dei characterHe's just a black old chess guy which exists in every park that has a chess board around New York ever. He might not be 100% in line with the era, but he's really in spirit with New York at least. A DEI pick would be something like Calico or Celeste.
>>585131724i blame violet (big suprise) for bringing all the culture war chuds here, for every other hero people would at least be speculating or shitposting the votes during this time period
>>585131861>I don't hate Violet character wiseThen you're a fucking retard because nothing about her is in any way likable

>>585131846because they genuinely believe peoples problems with violet is just racism against asians so it baffles them how the racist chuds that hate violet could love solomon
>>585132110No I totally agree which is why I said looks, when I first saw him I thought he was going to be some academia character (out of place for the era) and not just a chess hobo (feasible)
>>585132093why didnt they leave harrow any pizza
>>585131437Solomon is also bland as shit but at least he's not actively insufferable
>>585131772I hesitate to defend this, but as a new yorker, it's very easy for both statements to be true here
>>585131407>rebalance silverYes, by buffing her as she's fucking worthless
>>585131846HERE'S WHY VIOLET IS ACTUALLY GOOD AND FITS DEADLOCK>other characters are badly written too actually>Deadlock was always a goofy nonsense setting anyway>it's all racist sexist misogyny (please ignore Mina)>nobody ever cared about the lore, nerd>but what about her gameplay?
Would Yamato call Solomon the n-word?
>>585132347
>>585132143I like her because she's cute, and really speaks to me personally, if you ever had artist's block (of course you wouldn't, no one here has made anything in their lives) you'd understand.
Danny is cute!
>>585131749I do miss the old map
>>585132315you snooze you lose, law of the jungle
>>585132459no but she'd tell him to run away in japanese
>>585131846They're racist and expect everyone else to be racist
>>585132143Your rabid hatred of her takes away from anyone actually taking you seriously outside of your bandwagon. Violet's fixable without throwing every voiceline in the trash, or deleting the character and starting over, or designing her to be a [insert random animal] woman so she 'stands out' - they're not going to do those things no matter how many times you call someone retarded.
>>585131846Another so left you end up right moment, their retard brains are convinced it's cause of racism, so how come the black guy isn't getting any
>>585132459Nigeru
>>585132315Because she's a health worker and pizza isn't healthy
>>585132480I'm a former drawfag though and Violet is atrociousShould really go back to drawing bullshit for the general actually
i think violet ult is actually pretty bad, if the enemy team has good aoe teamfight ults they can just never leave her shitty one
>>585131612the Belgian "genocide" in the Congo is bullshit completely made up by British kikes btw
>>585132441>>it's all racist sexist misogyny (please ignore Mina)I mean this is true - Incels only like Mina because she plays into their sterotypes and is a dumb bimbo. Meanwhile Violet actually has a spine and they hate her?!?
>>585132465Why is he so unintentionally funny? Also I hope we get a different voice actor, rather he be a native accent instead of Jamaican that could easily go to a proper witch docta.
>>585132465Side note I watched Andrew Chicken's video the other day and basically his only argument for why Solomon was interesting was that he won his conversation with Seven
>>585132616>That phenotypeUh oh...
>>585132638Witch doctor should be Haitian and also female
>comms banned for calling a silver tranny patheticso the game is ruined already huh

>>585132459Why? He clearly carries himself with class and speaks with intelligence
Violet is just the target of sexism and racismPlease ignore the two other asian women that nobody has any real problem with
>>585131861>I don't hate Violet character wiseI say this completely unironically. How?
mina has so many good t2 items I feel like I'm slot locking myself and delaying the big items
>>585132632I still don't know what to think here. 40 Spirit sounds like a lot and for Spirit comps might be great, but on the other hand compared to some other team fight auto win ults it seems situational.
>>585132686>Andrew ChickenThat guy wouldn't even be a credible source on what he ate that morning
>>585132774Those kind of lines could go straight to another character though
>>585132786except the bishops had nothing to do with it retard
>>585132774>DEI accentThey should triple down on the Jamaican accent actually. Have him speak straight up patois.https://youtu.be/dBCg72HDj8I&t=10
>>5851328123 hours 7 minutes give or take
Violet's archetype as a pictomancer totally could work in the setting if she was written better and had just a few design tweaks. She doesn't need to be an art demon or any autistic shit like that. If they just cranked up her desire for perfectionism to an 11/10 and made her wish for some outrageous shit like "I want to make the entire world my canvas," or "I wish I was truly flawless at my craft," I think she'd be fine. Could keep the disappointed tiger parenting trope, but instead of going the equally tropey American-Asian "I'm gonna lash out and become a college art hoe," route they could've just made her go down the self-destructive route of doing ANYTHING to prove them wrong and losing her senses along the way.

>>585132638>>585132745>pop ult>BOMBOCLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
>>585132770>>585133071delightful chud tears
>>585132879Same way I don't hate Paige. Neither really appeal to me, but I don't demand they be removed from the game. Paige doesn't have the same problems Violet has in terms of 'why the fuck are you here' so she's definitely less of a problem, but her personality is 'normal person' and that's fine. Not everyone can or should be completely over the top, and the game has plenty of representation in the 'fantastical beast that acts pretty normal' category, so 'pretty normal human who acts like a normal human' is fine, if a little bland - it's inoffensive.
>paige>knockdown>divine barrier>refresher>transcendant cooldownyep, it's gaming time
>>585133135Huminah huminah, herro nurse!
Who do I jerk off to until Harrow releases? Male characters only.
>>585133127Joss Whedon is ground zero, followed by Bryan O'Malley, Anthony Bursch, and now whatever the popular theatre kid shit is, (If you value your sanity, don't lookup what Smosh and College Humor turned into)
>>585133249>her personality is 'normal person' and that's fine.Not exactly. Paige has a very noticeable thing (psychopathy? coping strategy to deal with the deaths and violence she experiences?) where she perceives the events in the game as a story with characters and her being above it, instead of a part of it. It's pretty cool.
>>585133359mo
>>585133021The destroyed version of her poster set high expectations
>>585133249Paige's personality is 'millenial' though, it could be better but it also could be a lot fucking worse too as we saw with violet.
https://youtu.be/19XSr7fV_xs&t=1541>some guy has his mom review all the deadlock characters>his moms first words upon seeing violet is that she looks out of placelol lmao

>>585131749fuck nohorrible ugly map and first pass models and artthe only thing i miss is the air dash reset and hmc being normal tech
>>585133452cute nose
>>585133430The funniest bit of unintentional comedy is Paige's book references stopping at HS level literature, but then again if she was a character from today she'd probably have stopped at Harry Potter instead.
>>585133442>172 views>an hour agobuy an ad
>>585133127how is classic simpsons "millennial dialogue"?
>>585128389yammers is so zased...
>>585133021>If they just cranked up her desire for perfectionism to an 11/10 and made her wish for some outrageous shit like "I want to make the entire world my canvas," or "I wish I was truly flawless at my craft," That's just Grimstroke but lame.
>>585133249The difference is Paige didn't run into the problem of her wish being too mundane that it's stupid for her to even be here. You have to remember, the only actually normal people in the game are people who ALSO are desperate enough to commit murder for something. Violet is desperate enough to commit murder for.. exposure. And to prove herself. And the game just shrugs its shoulders and goes "Yeah, sure, valid." Paige wants to save and learn about her apparently EVIL ASS brother that's bordering on Seven 2.0 apparently.
>>585133364>Just remembered I'm not Anthony BurchYou know what, the cancer wasn't so bad in hindsight
>>585133583So true
>>585133504And Whedon is an X'er, they're the ones who set the tone for the writers of today.

>>585133591Honeslty having known a lot of Women who talk about their interests I can say this is lore accurate. I just wish she sounded more like a girl from the era but I geuss the writers are too young to remember the old film/television tropes let alone something organic and natural.
Someone tell me how to counter mo and krill like I'm retarded
>>585133648Yeah? Is basically stealing a character really worse than "I have to prove myself (and get exposure! artists are struggling nowadays, you know!)"?

>>585133787stay away from him until you can buy indom and then he stops being a character, for at least half of the match you will probably get grabbed if he really wants it though
>>585133741m'ai victa iz runnin a'way wit e's ult up.git in dar bomboclaat.>*knight's you*
>>585133249Violet doesn't act like a normal human, she acts like a very specific and entirely contradictory stereotype that attempts to be a relatable failure and an unreasonable prodigy at the same time, with other characters refusing to call her out for her genuinely insane levels of selfishness and hypocricy.Paige has an actual reason to be risking her life in the Ritual, and yet she gets treated as someone out of her depth by others, she has more to the bookworm archetype than just saying I love reading, and her backstory at least takes the time to establish that bibliomancy is a thing instead of just handwaving her powers into existence without bringing them up at all.I have no problems with more grounded characters, but we already have tons of those that actually fill that role in a way that blows Violet out of the fucking water.
>>585133787Dont be in range of being ulted.Buy anti-heal items so he can't scorn to full HP every 8 seconds. Toxic bullets is good here because it does Max HP damage and he has one of the biggest HP pools.Dont be in range of his ult.Buy Dispel magic if you are playing a m1gger and he keeps disarming you.Dont be in range of his ult.If you buy unstoppable you can just press it and engage with no fear of being disarmed or ulted.
>>585134014Reminder that Willow in Dota is voiced by Ashley Burch so there's a nonzero chance we'll get a Deadlock character voiced by her at some point
>>585133890The problem is Grimstroke is really fucking cool so if you copy him you have to do him justice and Violet ain't it
>>585133917except she said nothing like that about mina or infernus
>>585133787Just don't get close to them, but slows and stuns + antiheal, cuck him by poking him from a distance.Worst case scenario buy curse and have it ready for when he jumps at someone.
>>585133452me but with fox haze
>queue>get match instantly>guy abandon match>still in queue 11 minutes laterok
>>585134264He doesn't own the trope dude. Trying NOT to be a trope like that and having to be a different trope is kind of what led to the Violet we got.
>>585134179The darkest secret of life is both of the Burch siblings have unironically made it. Ashley sucked and fucked her way to a legitimate C list actress career and Anthony is still getting plenty of writing credits for vidya and tumblr pandering cartoons when not running a successful dnd podcast.I'm going to go shoot myself now since I quit drinking
>>585134264I never liked Sadwank if I'm being honest
>>585134179I remember back in '24 before we had credits for voice actors, ivyfags had psyopped themselves into thinking Ivy was voiced by Ashly Burch.They also cyberbullied sorapoi on xitter to draw her because he called her ugly lmaoGods, Deadlock had soul back then.
>start winning literally zero russians>russians start appearing in my game and I start losing constantlyyeah...random...sooooo random haha! no what actually happens is the game puts you in the 'shit' queue and thats where russians live
rank them from most to least worst>dynamo TPing you into certain death>bebop launching you (ally) into certain death>kelvin dome locking you into certain death>solomon knight moving you into certain death>mcg blocking off your only escape>ivy picking you up, but because they're retarded it allows the enemy team to pick you off midair i.e getting sniped by a paradox or vindicta
>>585134541russians are better at this game than you
>>585127831Not Silver since her fans see the girlfailure shtick as a big positive.
>>585134436a loser is still a loser even if he's rich
>>585129569I just make a pile of 1600 greens for early game. If you can run around collecting stacks without dying then she will get strong inevitably. The shielding items can get their cooldowns reduced too.
>>585134398The trope in this case would be revealing she killed her parents, and that won't work unless they scrap half her lines
>>585133917She gave Calico a 9/10
>>585134562>dynamo TPing you into certain death>bebop launching you (ally) into certain deathdon't really happen that often>kelvin dome locking you into certain deathsucks>solomon knight moving you into certain death>mcg blocking off your only escapehappens every match they're in>ivy picking you up, but because they're retarded it allows the enemy team to pick you off midair i.e getting sniped by a paradox or vindictanot her fault
>>585134562kelvin, ivy, and mcg because it's pure retardation. solomons usually just save themselves so it's less of an issue
>>585134562Sometimes I misjudge the wall distance and my teammate starts literally crying in the voice chat
>>585134602the only thing russians are better at than me is sucking each other off and bumming eachother
>>585134562I'm going with Kelvin, I got fucked so many times by other people using his ult at terrible times that I got conditioned into never using dome when I random him.
>>585134797russians own you hahahahahahha
>>585134797thats not gay its a show of masculinity retarded pidor burger...
>>585130151not to defend those shitty lines but the setting of game is more like an aesthetic setpiece.also its hard to write this timeframe dialogue 100% authentically because most resources available are movies and even then they're limited artistic renditions and not representation of real life dialogue back then (though i wouldnt mind some old timey slang in the game).entertainment is more important than anything, Lash speaks in pretty modern manner and has some modern phrases too, hell his personality is lifted straight from NP, but people love him and have no complaints.
>>585133395That's fair, it only really pops out in her kill spree voice lines but it's a good embellishment on her very normal veneer, Violet has 'wow revenge killing feels surprisingly good' but there's no real pattern of derangement to her lines. Again, I'm not arguing Violet is a GOOD character, just one that isn't fundamentally so shit she deserves to be removed, and one that could be rewritten a bit to add shit like that. Her being more delusional in some way seems like the easiest fix to recontextualize a lot of her already recorded lines - she should be less successful, have more struggle, and be more desperate/delusional.>>585133651Yeah I mentioned that, to me it's the main flaw they actually should fix with her, recontextualizing her wish to make more sense by making her more desperate or more delusional - she doesn't currently sell that she will KILL for that chance for exposure. The wish itself makes sense having known artists and being in the entertainment industry, but her characterization doesn't quite match yet.>>585134082Other characters treat Violet like a child in some interactions, confirming she's scared, saying they'll try to keep her safe. It's not the same as reaffirming her reasoning as valid. Agree that they should re-write her backstory since that shit ain't voiced, it's just words, she can be a smart kid that was 'going far' and then hit a brick wall when her art isn't successful, that's relatable for a lot of art students. Her art being successful is absolutely adding a lot of friction to her characterization that doesn't need to be there. Again, not BEST CHARACTER AWARD WINNING, but fixable - agree they need to fix some (much) shit though.
>>585131749Yes
>>585133021Said it before, best option they could do that'd require the minimum of tweaks would be making it so her entire art career was bought by her super rich parents, IE bribed the school for the full ride, bribed MoMA to get her in, etc. Now she has an actual reason to have rage towards them and imposter syndrome (I could have done this without your help).The bonus points would be if she actually knew nothing about art, and is doing nothing BUT splashing magic paint around. And her wish was to do it all over again but this time without her parent's meddling.
>>585135024I get that and that's fair, but there's a gulf of difference between not totally accurate 40-50's style dialogue, and the shit people say *today* . Lash isn't telling anyone about their lack of aura compared to him
>>585134841Dead Russians in Ukraine lol
