Are they ever going to replace the Patrons? Are they still Neon Prime leftovers? They heavily clash with nearly everything else in the game and look like retarded sci-fi bullshit instead of cool occult stuff.

The more they change the map to incorporate occultism, the worse and worse the Patrons look in contrast.

Someone redpill me on Billy.

Am I right in assuming that Spirit is a trap and that you should build gun and melee damage for the insane scaling on his Skill 1 and the damage amp on his Skill 3? Should I actually be using heavy melee at all or just light melee to keep my uptime on smashed while I build gun and use my Skill 1 as my heavy melee?

Most builds are decent on Billy. Spirit isn't a trap because spirit bullets and spirit strike both help him significantly by applying to his other damage sources (1 and 3). Just build a tanky hybrid with lots of lifesteal from all sources. Don't use his heavy melee unless you really have to, it can be parried and his 1 with max charges upgraded should have near universal uptime and doesn't need as much charging.

Why did they rework the item system?
They ruined everything. Now everything feels like shit and weak. Game is reduced to moba team fight garbage now. No strategy, no skill expression, no smart item usage. Everyone and every item is equally shitty and only team fights matter now.
Fuck they even removed the based solo lanes, the one time where it is unironic skill issue to die. Now everyone blames team because it's a team slop right from the start. Great.

You can't change the region as far as I know. As I said in my 100 hours I haven't encountered a single English-speaking person and I don't even live that far from Europe and I would prefer it to continue that way
Also considering the game's population it's more likely that you'll end up on Russian servers than the other way around. Another possibility is that you just happened to encounter Ukrainians/immigrants and now they are your problem lol

Artifact is not terrible. It is excellent. Artifact’s expansions on Dota 2’s setting and lore were amazing. Peak soul. There were times I actually felt like I was commanding the epic fantasy battlefield the cards depicted. I’d never had that feeling from a card game before, not even Magic.

When I looked at the menu, saw Jolixia’s caravan in the distance at night while the music took me, for a fleeting moment it felt like I was home.

Phantom Strike is a good alternative to stamina if you choose since it adds more damage, but it's more expensive. Get Knockdown if there's a Vindicta/Talon you want to kill, Curse if it's a Pocket
Other than that just keep pushing, keep brooling, and stay on their side of the map harassing them as much as you can. The hero's so absurdly fucking strong right now it's not funny, and I'm 90% certain the real culprit is that dispel just cucking all anti-healing from being put on you

>The first short form was β€œWill.” That makes senseβ€”it’s a simple shortening of the first syllable. But then came a playful trend in the Middle Ages: rhyming nicknames. People liked to create variations of names by rhyming the shortened version. Will became Bill, just like:
>Robert became Rob, which became Bob
>Richard became Rick, which became Dick
>Margaret became Meg, which became Peg
TLDR

when yamato had invuln ult outside of cheesing patron's last few bits of hp she never accomplished a damn thing because the rest of her kit sucked ass and now it lasts longer, gives you huge resists so unless you're 1v6 you're essentially invincible, and you get a heal + cooldown extend on hero kills so you use it to do cool shit instead of to run away like a bitch as you did with the ult a year ago

When I last played (over a year ago), there was a big list of playable, but early development heroes you could try in the sandbox with console commands. Have they added any new ones? It seems like the bulk have been added to the game, but I know there were a handful still in testing and I'd assume in a year they added a few other in progress heroes.

People overhype how difficult RTS are. Dota 2 is a way more complex game than any RTS made and Deadlock is basically Dota 2 but now with aiming and extreme advanced movement.
Deadlock IS the most complicated multiplayer game ever made. The only reason it may never take off is because millenials take one look at it and cry "Oh I'm so old now... I can't put in the time for such a sweaty game..." and zoomers shit their pants and cry that there's more to do than just point and click at constantly respawning enemy heroes.

I happen to SPECIALIZE in minorly inconveniencing people in online video games. Deadlock is no exception.

I strongly believe it to be Mo & Krill.

Why?

Strong fast AoE clear lets you steal your teams jungle and farm their lanes. Roam at hyperfast speeds, and almost never die.

So you just spend the whole game playing PvE and avoiding team fights till you're hyper farmed. Wait for your whole team to get wiped, then wipe out the enemy team because you're on a smurf account where they haven't figured out how to last hit or farm up or buy the proper builds to handle you.

So you just delay the game as LOOOONG as possible while nagging the GRILL GAYMURS over voice chat that women shouldn't play video games and the usual bait.

Image fucking related.

The thing about the FGC is that not only they are well-trained in getting fucked over compared to shooter fans, the FGC has a history of fucking over future attempts to fix the game. See stuff like how 3rd Strike Online Edition was supposed to be a new balance patch, but the top-tier negros there whined about losing their top tiers or a Sean that was possibly good. Or for a more modern take, see how the stupid Core-A Gaming about how we must always buff shit over nerfing things created an obnoxious era of design where everything is Brawl- except taken seriously. Under Night II is a good example of how refusing to nerf the top tiers just means you homogenize everyone into having the same kit of "good tools" to compensate.

But even ignoring that, fighting games just don't cocktease people. A fighting game that is done is DONE, you know the devs have moved on to the next game. And while that next game could be very different from the last one, it still have all the things you would want or expect from such. The next Mortal Kombat is not going to be a puzzle game (though it might be better as such...). This doesn't apply to Valve. There's nothing about Deadlock that would apply to Team Fortress fans or Counter Strike fans or even DOTA fans. Valve's insistent in making games they want first means that there is no security in their fanbases. You never know if they will respect your investment in their franchises. So you have to take anything you can get, because their next project they spend the next 10 years on could be literally ANYTHING.

And FFS, they couldn't even do proper Maintenance Mode properly. It took genuinely threatening their bottom line to clear up the YEARS LONG bot problem despite having seasonal events. They don't even playtest the maps they put in these seasonal events either, hence giving everyone Wutville every year. So you can't even be secure that they are doing the bare minimum in keeping the game alive.

To be blunt, there is no good reason to do even that.
You put a lot of unneeded pressure on the community to provide content for your game, much of it being for FREE. I call out Wutville because holy shit why, but there is no good reason a map like that should be in the general community's crossfire. Imagine if Bethesda endorsed Fallout: The Frontier; you thought the shitstorm that mod got was extreme? The community is not Valve and it is extremely irresponsible for them to use them to prop up their game while putting in no effort to even maintain the stability of it. Especially if they are taking a cut out of the profits the fanbase is making for them.

There's no reason to have ANY form of update if you want to argue the game is done. We shouldn't even got Comic #7. Most dead Korean MMOs understand this, you can still make infinite money doing nothing as long as you just keep the lights on. But if you are going to have these weird community celebration and showcases, why not throw in some balance patches?

>>719773749
I won't say you are wrong, even I have some hazy memories of TF2fags saying they wanted matchmaking because...yeah, it just makes sense to have in a literal team-based objective shooter. Ranked Multiplayer is not a new concept. The problem was and still is them removing Quick Play out of the pool. Not only removing the ability to jump into any community server DRASTICALLY harmed the community aspects (that they are relying on keeping the game's funding going...), the Casual/Competitive matchmaking system is just broken and bad. It's NOT like CSGO's system, it is an actively impediment no matter how you slice it. It is a worse system made for no one. Even the compfags weren't happy because they half-assed the comp ruleset and only made the one. Even Splatoon understands you should have more than one mode in your Ranked Comp playlist...

I've been playing since the orange box days and from what i remember the logic was simply that the community wanted to revitalize the game into a more competitive experience with some casual elements to compete with overwatch and to appeal to overwatch players. This meant you cant have quickplay newbie be drop[ed half the time into a random trade server or mariokart with people blasting nigger and anime music on the mic. No no no we tf2 players are a serious group so serious we cant decide which competitive format we want so half ass it, make it so its only a taste of actual comp. Like everything else it was ultimately on valve but the "community" had their part to play.
honestly they should have told the comp fags to get bent and say this is the real comp tf2 instead of pussyfooting around them.

You can make the developer argument against having both a Casual and Quickplay option next to each other. It is one of those UX questions that most people likely wouldn't get at first blush. But between every shooter/multiplayer game nowadays turning into the OMNIGAME with a bunch of modes and entire other games built into their psuedo-launchers and the explicit evidence that Casual Mode doesn't work and is far more a hassle to the player experience, I think just having a "I'm Feeling Lucky" button for jumping into random servers would be a genuine quality of life buff. Even if it does risk splitting the playerbase some more.

Again, I can agree the community has some pretty major faults to admit to. Just that if Valve ever wants an easy W, throwing in a shuffle button can't be too hard an ask, certainly less than asking for MvM maps.

MOBAs require a certain autism that tends to go into JRPG or even idle game territory. The kind of "everything I do HAS to be advancing something". Plus after the laning phase/first 10 minutes, you can view the walkers more like mini-bosses than mobs. Big chunks of HP and damage that you have to plan around fighting.

It applies to mobas and also hero shooter shit like overwatch, paladins, marvel rivals, etc. I can't get behind these games, and they all without fail devolve into the exact same metafaggotry. Doesn't matter what characters they have, what balance changes they do, the format is flawed. Creates a dopamine hook where you can only have fun when you win a match, these types of games don't know how to make it fun to be on the losing team. All I hear from people who play these games is their win streak, how X player threw the match they were in, whatever. Unsurprisingly it also makes the playerbase for these games really mad

this is a weird one cause it's late game, having there being two 2v2s going on at the same time in 2 other lanes doesn't really make sense. but to engage with the hypothetical it would probably be the best to just clear the enemy creep wave as much as you can.

Well here's a couple of questions:
When is it a good point to go from the starter items to more advanced ones? What about the end-game ones?
How important is it to know what items are the best for a particular hero? Is countering your opponents the most important part of choosing the right items?
Anonymous No.719777364 >>719777394 >>719777635
>>719777190
>getting better items
identify in your kit when your character naturally hits a big power spike (important ability upgrade threshold, ect), and have it coincide with an item purchase that accentuates whatever it is that you are trying to do. This can be a minor one like, getting Quick Silver Reload on a gun carry in the first couple of minutes of lane, or a bigger one, like vampiric bullets. Usually this can start when you feel like you can get 2-3 minutes away from your team to go and farm without them taking any major 6v6 teamfights.

> Synergy vs Countering
You should know what your laning phase, mid game, and end game items should roughly look like. Identify the ones that give you an ability or stat that is a non-negotiable, and which ones can flex in and out depending on the game state. Countering vs Sticking to your build, to me, depends on "can I get away with letting the enemy play what they want, into what I am playing" sometimes you can stat check them and the answer is yes. Othertimes Vindicta has echo shard on a double stake and alch fire and you really should consider getting like debuff remover or unstoppable.

>When is it a good point to go from the starter items to more advanced ones? What about the end-game ones?
It is hero dependent, early items are so you can survive laning, middle items are for when team fights are starting and end game is when you want shit to end.
>How important is it to know what items are the best for a particular hero? Is countering your opponents the most important part of choosing the right items?
There are only a handful of "counter" items that you will need, most of your items should synergize with your core kit first and foremost and give you opportunity to survive and push off of team fights. That or farming if you are a hero that relies on late game items. But a good rule of thumb is
>if they have a lot of channeling spells or a lot of mobility: Knockdown
>if they have a lot of tanky heroes: Anything that is anti-healing (Siphon bullets is great for late game).
>if they have a lot of gun based heroes: Return fire
>if they have a lot of burst damage: Healing items are your ticket or the resilience items. Depending on your hero though, you could skip it for raw lifesteal like infuser on Victor.

check what your team is buying.
If enemy team has Viktor, Infernus, Miku or any other healing hero but none buys anti-heal you should buy it. Enemy team has Lash, Vindicta and none buys knockdown? Buy one or ask someone else to buy it

as the game goes on you get access to more ways to acquire souls outside of creep waves, the aliens that spawn in between the lanes are meant for you to farm throughout the game, items can also upgrade into higher tier items so spending 800 souls on a tier 1 item means you are investing into a tier 2 item at a discount (for example, healing rite can upgrade into healing nova making it cost 2400 instead of an upfront cost of 3200). you have to judge your soul economy for yourself. prioritize items that you think will have the most impact at your current moment depending on how well you are farmed.
>How important is it to know what items are the best for a particular hero? Is countering your opponents the most important part of choosing the right items?
since deadlock is essentially dota 3, yes buying items to counter your opponents is insanely important, you can shut down entire gameplans with a single item. something as simple as buying a decay for any hero that heals a lot will turn the tides of battle more often than you think. you should always be thinking about what item can i buy to make my opponents life hell.

You're not going to get an honest answer from these guys because they're scared to admit that nobody wants a DOTA clone in a third-person shooter form. Moba, in general, is dying outside of anywhere that isn't yellow. I have no idea why Valve decided to pour their resources into yet another Dota spinoff. It'll likely have a big launch because it'll be on the front of Steam and get some good coverage, but it'll likely be a ghost town by the end of the year. Why? For the same reason the playerbase can't sustain itself. People get curious, play a few matches, realize it isn't for them and leave. The game just isn't fun and it's designed terribly. The UI is probably one of the worst I've ever seen. The matches drag on. Snowballing is only fun for the person who's doing the snowballing. The shooting takes backseat to autistic Moba shit. Nobody I know who played it still logs on. This project will likely get abandoned or put on life support. I don't see it lasting much longer than a year with full support.

You just provided an argument for Russian-only servers. Seriously, I think it's a cultural issue. For you guys (and for Turks lol), it's totally normal to just use in-game VoIP with your friends. For Westerners, that's weird and annoying, we use Discord or something like that and only voip in-game if it's relevant to the entire team. In almost all cases, if I see cyrillic letters in a name, I'll have to mute them because they'll be loudly chit chatting to their bratja in the public voip.

It's the worst case scenario for both of us.

It's not about being afraid of talking to people. It's just that conversations in a language you don't understand are especially annoying when you've got a game to focus on and want to hear the callouts of the people you do understand. I've always wondered this - why isn't it more normal to use Discord or sth to voip with your friends in Russia? As I said, you can still use in-game voip to communicate with the entire team, but that way, you keep comms clear, as they should be in a competitive game.

Don't leave your lane until either your or their first tower is dead, this takes about 8 to 10 minutes and will speed up once the other lanes have acheived possibly before you

For items use the build browser, look in public and take one that is labled as "good for begginers"
You can even queue them for autobuying when you move into range of a shop

If you're getting your ass truly womped in lane, after the initial laning phase you can find creeps in buildings and machines and boxes for soul farm instead

The most important thing is to avoid dying, dying gives the enemy extra souls and is called "feeding"

Early game doesn't last that long and even most lost games don't go longer than 30 mins. There's also almost always a comeback opportunity, unless your team is losing literally every fight in a row (which does sadly still happen sometimes)
>but i'll try it at least. is there anything i should know going in?
While laning, the candle guy with the flag on his back will heal you if you're near him. Also buy extra regen or healing rite (in the green items section of the shop) to sustain yourself against enemy harass if needed.
Clearing lanes is more efficient for money than jungle, on top of helping passively defend your buildings
Kills are important, but translating those kills into a push which hits buildings or takes mid is more important
Look up a good build guide for roughly the role you want to do, that will ease the process of buying items for you if you don't want to spend time looking through the shop at first

>It's a moba. They all have RPG elements tied into your character's strength. Expecting it to play just like an average shootan is stupid.
ironically posting like a bot is not fashionable. i would rather characters were different inherently and not endlessly malleable with random stat ups; seeing all these numbers is tacky and it bleeds into how there's no feedback or weight to anything. i mean, an ability that does no damage and the same ability given steroids thanks to levels and items share the same animation. it's really dumb.

if you know what items to build to chunk healthbars you can focus on that without necessarily understanding the numbers (although that gets harder as you go)

the game has made some good strides away from sitting in your jungle shooting mike wazowskis. it's really inefficient to just do that now and if you REALLY wanna win the way is to work with your team and steal their farm which has some fun risk reward to it

If you go to public builds and copy one of them over and hit auto-queue you can literally ignore shop and items entirely, just be aware of any active abilities they might have lined up, look for the "easy for beginners" tag
you can literally just use the autists builds

Willing to try out Sinclair after reading a post here shilling his 1, but I've never encountered any competent Sinclair players (or any at all) to get a feel of his gameplay.
Any hints? Is it a loop of

?

His harassing in lane is extremely potent with assistant fire + bolts
That combo you listed is the ideal outcome, but oftentimes just rabbiting someone (or a whole group once it's lategame and it has a radius of 10 miles) is strong in and of itself
Stealing good ults and leveraging them on good targets is the real cream cheese though. It's just extremely hard to manage when you're on the backfoot is the real problem. Seven's always a good ult to steal because his ult dumpsters teamfights and is easy to use

does this character have the same pea-shooter, the same melee, the same parry, the same base everything as everyone else? i think i briefly played this one when i was swapping around part of the cast. she can turn people into cubes or something? whoopdeedoo.
also doesn't this game have some cocked-up queue system where you can't even play the character you want to play? so even if there is 1 sharp-as-a-whip character in a sea of wet pool noodles, it's not like i'd be able to play it most of the time.

Mina or Viscous.
Mina obviously is too squishy and basically just exists to push 4 and rack up stacks for 4 unless she's 5 figures up on the whole lobby. Viscous is this weird role-less hero that doesnt really do anything or have a unique X factor that makes him powerful or interesting. The Cube is cute, I guess, but you're spending so much money to make it your thing such that it is all you'll do in fights. You won't do any damage.

they're the most mobile character in the cast, have many ways to combo abilities and goo ball is the most fun character in the game

No because you can at least accidentally do something really useful on those heroes. Viscous doesn't really have a niche for most of the player base, and you put yourself at an enormous disadvantage playing him. He doesn't offer any unique utility that isn't freely overshadowed by other heroes. At least Vindicta can sometimes accidentally get a big stake combo by just chucking her shit into chokes. Holliday can sometimes just grab someone out of their ult or hit a barrel for like 500 damage by accident by just throwing that shit into a choke. Viscous has no agency over the game in this way. It's buy rescue beam and echo shards and do no damage, or buy gun items and also do no damage because your gun simply didn't scale oops

maybe on paper it has more going on since there's stamina management and the bioshock infinite rail ride thing going on, but the TTK is absurdly high and everyone sprints around like they're wading through mud. so even a basic AFPS like quake is more interesting and playable than deadlock. i'd rather track a fast-moving target with a shock rifle combo than track a slightly-less-slow-than-a-noob target with wacky (lousy) abilities

Yeah I mean every hero can do stuff, it's just that Viscous needs to be played on a very steep grading curve. You also can't do all of these things at once. Time spent balling out is time spent not shooting. He still just doesn't have a late game X factor without cutting away so much agency i.e. playing cube support build, so good luck with winning after throwing away all your agency to solo queue animals. I'm simply not sold without an extensively detailed build and guide.

time to kill being high is a non issue if anything it makes the better player more likely to win an engagement and the advanced mechanics dont require stamina. micro rail drop into Double wall jump melee boost into slide mantle up a ledge requires no stamina and you'd be able to get almost half way across the map at 30 mph
