should happen by the end of the month, hero progress has stalled out while Valve has buckled down to get the game "shippable" as is, so a pretty massive balance patch will be accompanying this. No heroes for a bit longer.
no new heroes sucks ass. what even makes this a major update??
>>1868443>>1868483>>>/vg/532171512
>>1868483They're honestly not even that close to being done on new heroes. New matchmaking and midboss are the highlights probably.Captcha: 8VVWT
>>1868489No way people think this is the roster they're working on right, so many heroes that are near done aren't even in here or named.
>>1868503like what?
This game sucks so much ass. I really wanted it to get canceled. It’s a lost cause and with the fundamental concepts of the game, they will be finding new gamebreaking exploits and unbalanced strategies for a lifetime. It’s stupid as fuck.
>>1868556>wanting a game to get canned because you personally don't like itcry about it faggot, they just trademarked a new logo to prepare for releasegame is fun
>>1868556>NOOOO YOU CAN'T HAVE FUN I DON'T APPROVE OF IT>NOOOO YOU CAN'T USE THAT STRATEGY I DON'T APPROVE OF IThahaha what a stupid faggot.
>>1868503bomber, generic person, gunslinger, rutger, shieldguy, targetdummy, the boss, thumper, tokamak and vandal are blank or depreciated heroIDs you can access using the consolethere are 14 heroes being actively developed
>>1868556am having fun and i'll be having more fun since I know you got hard filtered
>>1868443>>1869512Going open with just a balance update would be retarded as hell. When they do decide to go open beta it should be with a swarm of new heroes, some visual updates to the map, and most of the heroes with at least base finalized models. One of the major reasons Deadlock's initial reception was so lukewarm was due to Grey Talon's model being the very first leak.Imagine you see this shit back in may of 2024 then they announce open beta a year and a half later and the ugly navajo grandma is still in the game.
>>1869915there is a large roster the "public" doesn't have access to yet. >>1868489but yeah it definitely needs an art pass before going public. the shop update was a huge improvement and I'm looking forward to the game being farther along in development.
>>1868443Looks like you were right. So want to leak whatever the fuck that blue tab is? Isn't that the shop? Are they adding in a whole new 4th stat? Is it mana?
I do not believe you with that open beta shit.Huge update sure. But Deadlock needs a proper big blowout and loads of polished content for a proper open beta reveal.
Valve needs to add at least one conventionally attractive hero with a rabbit or a fox motif before we even think of heading into open beta.
>>1870421this but actually furry no kemonomomi shit
>>1870421why do you retards keep confusing bimbos in bikinis for conventionally attractive?
>>1881240Nice. Thank you for this. Based as fuck leaker who just dumps the whole roster screen instead of being an attention whore.
>>1881240Has to be fake right? Why would Valve not even sort in alphabetical order properly?
>>1881296I mean there's a big chance 'Vampirebat' / 'Punkgoat' / 'Bookworm' aren't their actual names and their real names are where they'd be sorted here right? Because the only ones out of order really are the unreleased heroes with whack names.That does leave Frank in a weird spot though. But maybe his name isn't Frank?It would require a lot of work to make that screen and it's doubtful it's AI right? That new Vindicta, Priest, and Bookworm portrait would be pretty hard to fake.
>>1881240I just want to know what happened to the other hero labs heroes. Is there still plans for them?
>>1881240just post a video
>>1881240So Vampire Bat is actually called Me- something? Merilyn? Melinda? Merry? Mecha Hitler?
>>1881240I figured it out, the goat is named Billy, bookworm is named Paige. They are in alphabetical order, they just have names now.
>>1881444Frank is probably Victor alluding to Victor Frankenstein
>>1881446Gotta be
>>1881444Paige would be before Paradox, it should be a name between PAR- and POC-
>>1881240I can't wait for this game to release.looks like another easy 200+ hours whenever this patch drops.
>>1881551you right I'm retarded
>>1868443more leaks please I find it very upsetting we have to wait over a month for a real update
>>1882815read the sign.
>>1883445I have and it has changed nothing
>>1881240>33 different heroeson day 1and you need to know how every single one of them works or you'll be getting stomped valve is out of their mind if they think this is a good ideathe proper way to do it would be to start with 1 hero then release subsequent ones at the rate of 1 per week until full releaseanyone who disagrees with this is literally retarded
>>1884604you're an out of touch retard.imagine telling fortnite that they can only release with the pickaxe and release 1 gun per week.
>>1884604Dota launched with like 46Its not a big deal

>>1881240my cute chipmunk wife is in this picture
>>1885190never played fortnite, but my understanding is that all the players start with the exact same "hero" (differences are purely cosmetic) and then find items to customize it this is different than everyone having a completely unique hero with items on top of it >>1885334dota was the first of its kind, it made a lot of mistakes and only got away with it because of lack of competition, 46 heroes on day 1 sounds retarded>>1885901>forum websitesultimately, the game will fail or succeed based on its quality, but valve could increase its chance of success by starting it off with a reasonably limited pool of heroes
>>1884604bait used to be believable

>>1881909You can't wait to waste days of your life on a slideshow of a snowballing simulator where every 40-minute match is decided in the 10th minute?
>>1903989skill issue. I have fun playing the game.
>>1904012Yeah, nothing fun like watching the same top build of every character holding W and LMB and winning every fight 6v1. And then you have to watch through 20 minutes of it because there's no forfeit button, as the game was made by retards.
> be abrams> be an absolute retard> die 8 times in the lane> wait 15 minutes> proceed to kill everything in its place>> bro just parry> while you're stunned>> bro just dodge> while you can't move>> bro just buy X, Y and Z items> and deal no damageYou have to be absolutely braindead to believe that what you are doing in the match has any influence on it whatsoever. The games are decided in the first few minutes, and the rest is just watching it unfold. You're no different than dirty homeless retards who spend their days in the casino flipping the same slot machine. In fact, you're worse - they know that they're pieces of human garbage deep down, but you think you're better than the rest because you convince yourself that you're "skillful" in a game made for children where you press four same buttons endlessly.

>>1904297Stop reading the threads if the truth about your favorite "game" hurts you so badly.

>>1868443>MAJOR PATCHnew heroes, new hero select screen, new hero playground.
Literally only 30 paid people on Reddit and their 5000 fake accounts talk about this "game" even after the biggest update in a year. The update which "adds 6 new heroes" but only added 1, a broken combination of 4 other overpowered slops. A few days later, another hero was added, which is so bad that nobody is even playing it.
>>1868443I played this when they first launch on my shitty laptop with ryzen 7 5700u IGPU lol. Getting new laptop with 780m, wonder how it will manage with new patch.

They rigged the voting so it would look like someone is actually voting for ugly women, and then they boosted her stats so people would choose "support characters who just happen to be women". Thanks, Valve.

new deadlock update is good, got me and my friends playing again. i hated the move to 3 lanes at first but i like it now, idk what they changed since i stopped playing map wise but it feels alot better now.
>>1931262Based. We run this game and don't you forget it. Get ready for Haze to be reverted back to her op self.
>>1933757You're literally dying out already due to natural selection. You're a mistake of the nature and everyone sees it. Your whole race is uncanny to look at, people are disgusted when they come across pictures of you. You're barely above niggers in any sort of intelligence tests. Sniff some copium while you're still here.
>>1932122What the fuck does the number of lanes change?
Matchmaking for 12 minutes to put three stacks against six solos. This is what you get when you let women into a company.
>>1934097You are an Americanski mutt and I just know for certain if you came a across a Russian woman you would be simping hard for her. Valve knows we run their games deal with it, Paco.
There should be 5 lanes and only one duoImagine the kino of a vast new york, several lane districts like "china town" or "little Italy" Put Central park in the middle for mid boss, and a vast sewer system with different cylinder tunnels and mazes.
>>1934258Of course a Russian would believe that everything else in the world is just Americanski mutt apart from their subhuman race. And of course the only thing a Russian subhuman can think about is how to rape their own daughters. Is that how you were born too? How many chromosomes are there, bud?
>>1934335They've been slowly improving the map and making it look like an actual city in the recent patches, but it's still so sterile because they're too afraid to offend anyone. Imagine if there was something called China town - there's at least 40 ways you can make that into something racist and problematic. And the game has not one but TWO mentally ill characters who can't tell if they are male or female already.

This time they added a character who walks and murders everything in its path, while also healing himself. Imagine the creativity that went into this.

>>1935716who?
>>1868556What are you talking about? Its a great game. Maybe you should just get gud.
>>1947704Literally not a single person could explain what is "good" about this "game" without saying "git gut".
>>1950050It's a first person shooter MOBA. It's similar to SMITE 2 but I think Valve did it better. Why it's fun:>Every character is different and every character has several different ways it can be played>The item system is well done, it gives a lot of variety without being too complicated>the game is easy to learn but hard to master>the map is big and has lots of creeps and boxes>movement is fun and thought through. the map is big yet there's lots of ways to move around the map>guardians and walkers are weak, so that actually you have to protect them and work with them to defend, rather than relying on a tower for defense like in other MOBAs>the humour is fantastic. it's not laugh out loud funny, but it is funny.>they put work into the voice acting and story lines, the characters talk to each other, the characters taunt one another, and they all have a backstory and friends and enemies in-universe. It gives the game a personality.It's just plain fun to play all the different characters, try out different things, experiment, see what works for you and what doesn't. The game is very relayable. There's always something to improve on, something to do better, and it makes you want to go back and get better at it. And the more you play and put thought into what you're doing, the better you get at it.Valve hit a home run with this one. The game is gonna be huge.
This game would be much better with lobby system instead of gay matchmaking system which doesn't work.
>>1953026> It's a first person shooter MOBA.It's third-person.>Every character is different and every character has several different ways it can be playedEvery character is played in one of the two ways: gun or spirit. Only about 0.01% of the playerbase is making their own builds. Every game is the same because every hero will be played using one of the top two builds.>The item system is well done, it gives a lot of variety without being too complicatedThere's a hundred of items with vague explanations with 5-6 layers of scaling, multipliers, stacks, conditions, and whatnot. Nobody really knows how much damage you'll deal before you see it happening.>the game is easy to learn but hard to masterWhat does this even mean? You pick an arbitrary point in the game and say "up to here, it's easy to learn", and then for the rest you say "well that's why it's hard to master"? This doesn't make sense to be used for a complex game like Deadlock. You can say this for tetris, or sudoku, where the rules are actually really easy to understand and memorize, but it takes a big effort to notice patterns or to be able to process everything fast enough.>the map is big and has lots of creeps and boxesThat's informational, that's neither bad or good.>movement is fun and thought through. the map is big yet there's lots of ways to move around the mapThe movement is slow and clunky. You're constantly slow and you can't reach anything. The movement system is never properly explained, and has more exploits than actual mechanics.>guardians and walkers are weak, so that actually you have to protect them and work with them to defend, rather than relying on a tower for defense like in other MOBAsAgain, this is informational. It's neither good nor bad.
>>1953026>>1956277>the humour is fantastic. it's not laugh out loud funny, but it is funny.There's no zero humor besides some of the exchanges repeated at the beginning of each match, and only sometimes at that. If matches were 10 minutes long, maybe this point would have some merit, but hearing one sentence that's maybe vaguely funny every 40 minutes does not make "humor" a strong point of the game.>they put work into the voice acting and story lines, the characters talk to each other, the characters taunt one another, and they all have a backstory and friends and enemies in-universe. It gives the game a personality.There's no backstory exposed through the game. The backgrounds you can read about each characters are self-contained LLM-generated-level crap.
>>1956278>There's no zero humor besides some of the exchanges repeated at the beginning of each match,and every time you upgrade an abilityand every time you buy an itemand when you fight another characterand when you kill another characterand when you narrowly escapeand when you pass by the radio on Greenwichbut other than that, no humor in the game
>>1956278>There's no backstory exposed through the game.I know Billy and Bebop hate each other just by playing the game. Maybe if you actually paid attention, you'd pick up on these things more.
Incredibly boring game. Even the paid shill streamers can barely keep awake playing.
>>1957338Ah, I see now, you're confusing "presence of voice lines" with "humor". Humor
>>1957341If knowing that two characters hate each other is your definition of a "good game", then alright.
>>1957900>>1957914The guys has standards, albeit very low ones.
>>1940028I live in America. But I will still yell at you in Russian in this game :).
>>1957914>moving the goalpostsGo develop whichever game Deadlock took players from, you salty little bitch. Maybe if you spent more time making your game better you wouldn't have to seethe about successful games on an Appalachian moonshine forum.
>>1924753Are you too much of a pussy to use your mic? Just tell your team what to do and 9 times out of 10 theyll roll with it. Literally just point out the souls lead, do midboss, reset, then go end. Ez.
>>1956277What movement tricks do you think are exploits? You do recognize that things like rocket jumping or extending momentum are like the reality of actual PC shooters right? And that games that have weeded them out in the name of 'consistency' or 'ease of use' have just watered down their games right?>>1934258Russians have no money. A lot of them play the games but they have little money and spend little money. They generate disproportionately small revenue, spending less than a third as much as americans on games. (On top of making up less than 10% of the total marketshare of players, further lowering their net worth)
>>1965712less than 10% of the amount that americans make up* (americans make up roughly 30%, russians are less than 3%)

>>1904277>ou have to be absolutely braindead to believe that what you are doing in the match has any influence on it whatsoever. The games are decided in the first few minutes, and the rest is just watching it unfold.Objectively wrong. The game has one of the best comeback mechanics. Late game the respawn cooldown is 60-80 seconds. If a winning team overplays their hand, makes a mistake like continuing to push after destroying the first patron and get themselves killed, the "losing" team can then push and end the game.Lane pressure is very important, trying to end the game without minions is a sure way to lose, despite having a 30k+ soul advantage. If the losing team manages to kill midboss or even steal the rejuv, then that also gives them a chance to turn the game around.You're just bad at the game. Keep practicing.
Give me hero suggestions if I only play Holiday and get stomped as literally any other hero in the roster.Cant do shit with with other gun heroes except haze (who is boring), feel useless as support when your teammates dont play with you, anytime I jungle farm I get jumped, literally only have fun as one hero and want to quit if matchmaking gives me anything else.Holiday having great movement, great farm, great damage, a 10/10 anti-ult ult and the only hero I've 1v2'd with ease makes every other hero not worth it for me.
>>1972422>If a winning team overplays their hand, makes a mistake like continuing to push after destroying the first patron and get themselves killed, the "losing" team can then push and end the game.Not him, but that's not a comeback mechanic. That's just them losing.
>>1974957>pick gay talon>brainlessly build his 2>win lane and either show up to fights or if you're a bitch just rat and eat towers with your 2it's THAT easy
>>1976974>pick dynamo>max spirit power and charges and range of your Q>blast enemies without ever coming close>reduce cooldown as much as possible for endless spamit's THAT easy
>>1974957Use the Build Drunk Drifteror Karry KelvinYou'll never have to rely on your teammates again
>>1976633game has a lot of actual comeback mechanics that this guy didnt mention for some reason. urn gives more souls and has favorable dropoff point for the losing team, and the losing team gets a scaling comeback bonus to ALL soul income depending on how behind they are, maxing out at 25% bonus when 20% or more behind, meaning that the winning team needs to capitalize on their lead or it will just start to evaporate, assuming the losing team isnt just throwing. if both teams just farm forever the soul count will equalize eventually, it puts more pressure on the winning team to take risks and make plays instead of sitting on their lead forever until they see a safe opportunity. playing too safe is a way to throw in this game by design
> be mina> press 4> finish the game> pretend that the game is well-made and that you're superior because you have a SKILL to press the same four buttons in a now decade-old game designed entirely around children watching shut-in jobless autistic retards with either no chin or two chins complete against each other in tournaments on their ipads
>>1985706>decade-oldlol this slop is pushing 30. Valve needs to shake this shit up fast, being a shooter is not enough to freshen ASSSFAGGOTS ideas.Changing the map back to 3 lanes shows how clueless they are
>>1986671>Changing the map back to 3 lanes shows how clueless they areGod this pissed me off so much. A large part of the reason I played games like Smite and HOTS for as long as I did is because they actually offered alternatives to the usual 3-lane bullshit, and while it wasn't Earth shattering revolutionary, 4-lane was at least different from the norm and did affect gameplay.And the only thing people have to say to defend it is shit like>oh but there's buildings that camps are in/on/below for the jungle so it's totally fresh>oh but in 50000 years the game will have [something that's entirely not MOBA at all] as an alternative to 3-lane!!!

3 years of beta later, this game is still entirely decided by the first 10 minutes and then you're forced to watch a 25-minute cutscene. Imagine simping for this just because it's from a company which made a few good games over 15 years ago.

my teams prob in discord sucking each other off too. somehow always solo. so far the formula in this game is: hide behind waves, hide behind tower, dont fight, farm instead of push, keep all ur stamina up to go backwards, theres no 1v1 thats a bait. then u join fight when ur ahead. trade in shit armor/shields for plated armor / spellbreaker instead of offensive t4s
dont help ur shitty team caught out unless u want to. thats a bait. let one die instead of both dying
