Post your Steam profile and ask. You need to accept a friend request to be invited, so don't be autistic.

>How do I git gud?
Do the tutorial, get a feel for each hero in sandbox mode, explore public item builds, watch replays. Playing a Hero for the first time will put you into a lower rank game*, so don't worry about it too much.

>new model has heavy tf2 proportions
rip coomer viscous mods

>>527267830
seriously what is with all the gay pandering in this game?

>>527267960
Your first assumption is 'its for the gays' even though women love big buff demon men, goo boys that fill every hole, icy redheads that slipper and slide on the ice and make the sex? FOOL!

>>527268251
you're crazy if you think girls like barashit OR that girls even play sweaty games like this.

Subtle!

>>527267830
isn't that literally dynamo animations

>>527268391
She's a bit more subtle than she looks, yes

>>527268468
yeah, half of the heroes in the game still share the same generic punch animation
open beta july 2026

>>527267830
why fat guy? viscous's voice doesn't sound like that.

>>527269445

viscous has had it too good for too long

>>527268383
You would be surprised

>Ivy to the rescue!

matchmaking isn't bad you're just bad lmao

>>527267960
How is this even remotely gay or even sexy to begin with? What the fuck is wrong with you faggots, how much did porn rot your brain?
>>527268383
He is right you know, besides women (not ''women'') prefer bigger men. Also the picrel is cringe
>>527270234
Based Ivy, Geist must suffer

Sanest anon poster I've seen in a long time

>It's a 'lets all sit in jungle for 30 minutes' episode
I love having no item slots and still out damaging a haze on a support build.

>>527270967
Its because I'm an Abrams player, ragebait and corruption slides right off my silky smooth brain.

Holy fuark...Based

i get games in beta and patience is key im just making criticisms for a hopefully better game
>>527270027
no we would not. its for the gays. not a problem but at least make the design a bit more interesting
>>527269291
theyre all given the geist idle pose at first too right?
>>527270887
sex sells is a marketing scheme since the beginning of consumerism. valve may be a bit classier but theyre not above it. since maybe 10 years ago furries have made theyre way into art teams and it can be seen. hell ratchet and clank has rivet. furry/coomer pandering is now a thing. thats why so many retards think stellar blade is top tier character design. if you wanted to go into why this model of viscous is "sexy" i could try

>>527267830
#notmygoober

>>527270027
hes talking about girls without dicks anon

The black woman of Valve unoriginality.
These are TWO different characters.

>>527274246
Yes and only twitter clowns would assume anything else

>>527271956
>only competent player is trying to push the objective
>meanwhile entire team goes to brool without their best asset around and you expect him to somehow teleport there before they are all dead

>>527276047
i dont know how to tell you this, but girls on average (the vast majority) are not into videogames and even the ones who are (im not talking about phonegames here) are 90% life-sims/animal crossing players
meaning 99% of fps/dota players are men, 0,9% mentally ill men and 0,1% actual women so there are most likely more troons than actual women in the playerbase

>Oracle II
>Win my game
>Oracle I
Ah, so it's one of those ranked systems.

First game in months, what the fuck is calico and why does she hit like a truck and still move that fast?

>LLWWLLWWLLW?
I wonder what my next game will bring!

>>527273580
>no we would not.
explain why one of my friend's uncle who's shaped exactly like the new viscous model has a MILF of a wife that everyone in our friend group has jerked off to at least once in their lifetime.

>>527276709
These numbers are way off, even women play shooters (esp hero shooters) these days. Yes, there's way fewer of them compared to sims/VN players or whatever, but I get some of these frequently in Deadlock.
>>527277071
I feel like currently the only winning strat is to stay as 5, yet I get Rambo wannabees every game, who chase and go to the other side of the map solo, then team fights at a disadvantage and we lose. This is the worst part of low elo, despite all my communication efforts.

>>527273580
>no we would not. its for the gays
Self-report right here
>>527279568
Because he used to be lean and with a head full of hair at 25, now they are married with kids, he got bald and fat and she stays around due to sunken cost fallacy.

>>527280002
thats what youd think but he looked liked a fat redneck throughout his life and still does.

>>527280453
Know what? Unironically good for them. If she went for this guy despite him not looking like an underwear model its either real feelings or real money doing the work, both is good.

Thanks for your input, time to channel all thin-skinned Haze one tricks in your team, enjoy your losing streak

> 90% life-sims/animal crossing players
Women confirmed smarter than men.

>>527280002
>Self-report right here
and?
>>527279568
im guessing theres a misunderstanding. i wasnt stating that women dont like a bear. women just dont make up a large enough portion of the gaming demographic, especially for "sweaty games", to justify designing the characters for it. obviously one is fine but more than likely they'll use a single character to cover multiple niche demographics. its just smarter to use a character slot to draw in an already established player base.
this would be like when they pandered for the anita sarkeesians. these people dont actually play games they just bitch and moan the loudest

I've encountered a decent amount of grills on mic actually

>>527291632
>women just dont make up a large enough portion of the gaming demographic, especially for "sweaty games", to justify designing the characters for it. obviously one is fine
Maybe you are correct on this one since the only attractive male in the game atm is Abrams, but he's damn good. Rest are either ugly/monsters/undead, bland or Lash.
>inb4 Pocket

>Fucking hate twinks and femboys, latter deserve to be sent to concentration camps.
Why are people so openly racist to Asians these days?

>>527292930
I hate effeminate men of all races, I don't discriminate. Alright I do, just not on this issue.
>>527292672
Lets be real, most don't use mic unless in a premade

>>527293385
>I hate effeminate men of all races, I don't discriminate. Alright I do, just not on this issue.
Yeah but Pocket is Asian that is just his natural state

>>527292838
kelvin is a silver fox, mirage has a good foreign/ alt beauty(adrien brody), infernus is a hunk and frank/priest/drifter/doorman/raven are right on the horizon (not in game atm i know i know) and lash is still hot, him being a douche is just an added bonus
wait whats your problem with twinks and fems?

Why does a third-rate gacha game have better character designs than the first original Valve IP in ages?

>>527297190
are you gonna post examples or...?

does anyone else feel like the damage numbers from troopers make you miss soul orbs sometimes?

>>527270234
looks like it was geist's fault for cancelling the ride

THE LASH IS BACK BABY.

Can you experimental branch fags finnaly leak ANYTHING??? fucking reddiots are beating you to the punch.

>>527298382

He looks like an NPC now, maybe this could change after his model gets an art pass and starts looking less like a piece of abstract art. Also side shave sucks.
>wait whats your problem with twinks and fems?
I hate them, vehemently.
>>527293447
Sounds like his problem

>>527299426
huh???

>>527299763
>Only black women like black men, sorry not sorry
Not black demon scum 1 drop rule

>>527299763
lash looks like a douchebag copying peaky blinders/ a thug from gangs from new york...which fits the setting and his personality perfectly.

>>527299919
Hey, never said his design sucks, we were talking sex appeal which is an entirely different thing. This and his above posted portrait is fucking hilarious and great in equal measure.
>>527299912
That's just weird to me, Abrams is a demon and looks like it, size, proportions, coloration, you name it. He even got a cute tail and a custom-made coat to account for this.
Fern is just a black guy with glowy tattoos and that's about it. Even fire magic isn't too big of a deal, a mobster can use telekinesis and teleportation with no demon ancestry whatsoever. Is that because he was born and raised in NY, so his demon features didn't manifest, or he is he supposed to be a half-breed? Or is Abrams just made different?

>>527300646

He is half-ixian. He has a conversation with Abrams about it and he has never been to Ixia himself. Funnily enough multiple heroes refer to infernus as "the demon" and nobody refers to the actual blue demon as such

infernus needs more bite to him, his personality is....bartender everyone knows and love. idk, kinda boring. even gray talon and viscous have a more compelling reason to participate

>>527300785
I guess that moniker sticks given Infernus' criminal and bloody past, while Abrams is an upstanding citizen whose life took a turn to the worst only a while ago due to the magic bullshit outside of his control.
Or maybe demon is a slur, the term is ''mortally challenged persons'' you know.

>>527298475
>only remodeled her head
and it doesn't fit her voice

>>527301660
Brother she has a horse face now, this was 100% needed. Clothing could use more wear and tear, same with animations yes (imagine letting her move like she's half-flying, or her head leaning to the side since she was hanged), but the face is easily the worst part.
>doesn't fit her voice
Give her voice some kind of echo like Invoker got, gg ez

>>527298475
Looks like complete dogshit. Expected from Nu Valve and their legion of SBI hires.

>>527298382
I can live with it, the hair is good, I'm glad they kept his squinty pugilist eyes. I wish they'd stuck with the fatter mustache, and WHY are they taking away his ascot?! He looks so naked without it.

>>527303950
fatter mustache fits warden more, I think it fits lash more to have the trim 'stache

vin model probably isnt done since they havent touched her outfit

>>527298475

the leaks will continue until I am added to the experimental branch

>>527305223
>they made her fatter
OUGH

>>527298475
if i got into the experimental branch i would just leak everything instantly here

>>527305223
>feet untouched, outfit untouched
probably not finished

>>527298382
i really hope they dont mess with his face model too much the eyes bags made him look manly and appropriate for the times. he has a tough face that looked beaten like it belonged to a boxer. but yeah actually having eyes is welcomed
>>527301072
there are lines alluding to him originally being a pretty harsh criminal. maybe something along the lines of him suppressing anger or the urge to hurt people?
>>527305223
honestly dont like it. its lazy. just throwing interesting effects over it is not quality design. its like when women put those bleach highlights in their hair thinking thatll make them pretty. the original pallid skin with a mysterious sygil on the forehead was more interesting. they just needed to keep the face from looking too stiff.
but yeah total fuckup. if the same retards on the dota art team (new not old) were added to deadlock ima fuggin cry

>>527305223
>ywn have a slightly thick trad undead wife
why even live

>steamroll literally every match
>not ranking up, still stuck at arcanist 3
??

Did they change Abram's shoulder charge? I was getting parried in lane when heavy melee was 'pre-charged'

>>527307479
You need at least 2 levels in it now to get a heavy melee hit out of charge now.

>>527307479
Yes, the stun duration was reduced to prevent the timing of a heavy melee combo, until you reach T2 and the stun duration is increased enough to allow it (unless the opponent bought debuff reducer lol). You can still do a light slap and they can't parry.

>>527299426
yeah i dont see it either. go get laid btw

>>527306498
>>527301072
>maybe something along the lines of him suppressing anger or the urge to hurt people?
He also keeps yapping about his wasted youth all the time. At the same time leaving all of it behind and living a new calm life is a huge part of his character. He has a dialogue with Seven where he claims to not miss the violent past in the slightest, so i doubt this will be a good move.

>>527268251
you are beyond inept

>10 out of 26 characters are present in literally 1/2 of total matches
please balance the game valve

>>527305223
A complete downgrade, holy fuck.

So did Vyper go to school? Do snake people just exist? Even ivy had an explanation

Do you think Vyper got bullied at school or was she so weird and stupid that she didn't even get that?

>>527309872
>Half the characters are present in half of the draftless matches
No problem here.

>>527309116
yeah but if they DO allude toward a lust for violence, the fact that hes in denial, wouldnt that add depth?
but yeah unlikely just a moba character
>>527310186
i gotta feeling her only teacher was the streets.
guessing shes an otherworldly creature and if they are anything like our snakes she didnt know her parents and probably ate her siblings.
maybe evade pest control too

>>527310619
>yeah but if they DO allude toward a lust for violence, the fact that hes in denial, wouldnt that add depth?
he's black so you can't depict him with a violent personality

>rank up from alchemist to arcanist
>players get worse
>matches get easier
ranks in this game genuinely make 0 sense, is it all based on playtime instead of skill? it took me like 100 games to figure out how this game works cause i have never played a moba before but jesus ever since i got out of alchemist every match is just a steamroll instead of balanced

>>527309872
Better nerf bebop
>>527310619
>yeah but if they DO allude toward a lust for violence, the fact that hes in denial, wouldnt that add depth?
Absolutely not, this is a full 180 on what his fluff and visual style dictates. Besides, we have plenty of characters being all about violence, Fern being so laid back while still enjoying setting shit on fire is what keep him apart from other violent psychos like Vind, Seven, GT, Shiv etc and we will probably have another one like Drifter.
>>527311281
He is already a former criminal who got off easy thanks to deal with the feds. Good enough.

>>527274246
Why do you think I was talking about those? I legit heard more girls in DL tha n my thousands of hours in Dota

Got into this recently, sliding around as a snake is fun. Whats the update schedule like? I see the game "update" in steam often but it seems like it's actually just maintenance or something? Should I expect WIP player models for another 3 years?

>>527314787
It gets updates as often as Dota 2 does

>>527314787
was roughly once a month for a bit

>>527314090
He is demoralized

>>527312787
just turn off rank and its notification it makes zero difference unless you hit high ascendent/eternus

>>527314090
ive never heard a woman in dl, ive heard two in dota (across 3k h), about 5 in cs (2,5k h) and ~20+ in wow (also a lot of h)
valorant or ow might have more but compared to the men women that play comp games are unicorns

>>527298382
this one actually looks great

>>527298382
he needs his neck tie thing back but otherwise I like it

>>527298475
fake and if real ruined

>>527306816
>slightly

im conflicted on pocket's change. on one hand i like the new face, but the old one looked pretty funny and unique

>>527314090
i see one maybe every 7 matches, guarantee there are more that just dont use a mic with how shit they be playing

>>527319159
the new hair looks very stupid
and now he actually looks like a faggot

>>527319319
Remember pocket is supposed to be a very young child

>bara abrams
>bara viscous
>bara lash
Who’s next?

I have not played in months

is it true they dumbed down the movement

>>527319387
child? isn't he an adult by the time the game happens because they specifically try to kill him as soon as he's able to inherit his dad's company
i haven't read the lore in a while though, i could just be misremembering

>>527314997
>>527315249
Thanks, I don't play other moba's but I'll compare.

>>527319662

>>527319724
yeah because half the cast is like 30-50, of course they'll call a 18yo dude a kid

>>527319771
Seems like the world was successfully changed

>>527298475
>>527305223

>>527319387
>>527319662
>>527319724
>living in hiding for the past 5 years after being shot and left for dead on 18th birthday
at least 23 years old, still relatively young compared to everyone else

gotta say i'm not the biggest fan of the art direction they're moving in
i prefer the more TF2 style phong semi-realistic shading look that was going on over the cel-shaded western anime look that the portraits and models are getting
too clean, too league of legends

>>527319724
You are a fucking retard

ok I dont care for infernus
just gonna stick to seven and wraith for bot pushing

>>527319771
Kelvin dies too.

>>527319319
100% agree and he was ugly beforehand too. Zoomer haircut,weird coat. Now he got anime hair and even more faggy facial features, travesty.
>>527319572
They removed heavy melee cancel and added proper wall jump, so 1 - 1

>>527319771
We don't even know what Warden's wish is. It sould mean as much as ''Patrons fuck off from Earth forever''

>>527305223
>>527298382
bro just patch the game already

>>527267830

>>22k souls

Insecure souls. These jungle niggers literally just sit in jungle ignoring everything else and get ganked on repeat and turbo feed the enemy carries and because they lose all their souls they wind up 5k behind a fucking support ivy.

I hate retards so much

>>527307267
I was Oracle 2 earlier, won a game and got demoted. Didn't even have a shit score.

>>527319771
Based based based based based

The reason Viscous was redesigned from the glob monster is 100% because of cosmetics. They learned their lesson through Morphling in dota 2 that making a hero out of liquid ruins their skin potential.

>>527314787
homie this game is in alpha or maybe not even that. youre gonna be waiting a while.
if youre looking for a lootershooter with a bunch of shallow content i suggest warframe. good for grinding
>>527314090
that might just have to do with the timing of when the games came out and how trans are more popular in the last 5-10 years

>>527326238
no youre just not creative enough
member the portrait with the little pufferfish inside his body?
just sell different models with this, how they manipulate the body to do the skills you press etc
just imagine the little fish inside the goo ball ult swimming in the direction you press fighting against the momentum of the mass of goo

>>527267616 (OP)
is there even a point on the patreon dropping nowadays? I don't think I've EVER seen a team be able to push back against the enemy team once they're stuck on their base.

>>527305223
BEHOLD... DOWNGRADE

>>527327171
in my experience the games turn around at that point since the braindead afk farming people have no more space to farm and are forced to actually play the game

>>527326991
Morphling sets are all "random spikes sticking out of his body"
Now Viscous can have clear customization slots for Hat/Clothes/Accessory/Weapon/Pilot, which is better for making cash money.

>>527326991
>just sell different models with this
wow anon you got yourself half a cent
>how they manipulate the body to do the skills you press etc
thats too much effort for a normal cosmetic and for a characters that will not be that popular ralistically speaking

>>527305223
nah go back to the old one, this new look is terrible

>>527327465
nobody said anything about price, we dont even know what the system is theyre going to use
dotas system is ass, literal millions of shitty pieces and the only worthwile are the high fidelity and skill-customising ones

>>527305690
>>527327623
they literally only changed her face, and her old face looks like vladmir putin
the only image we have is complete dogshit quality

>>527298382
Holy fucking perfection.

>>527298475
>>527305223
Holy fucking downgrade. She went from a cute corpse to an alien-looking blue blob.

>>527329334
nobody except valve knows

>>527328178
>sees woman
>thinks of a men
are you gay?
even with that low quality its obvious that it looks bad

>>527319159
i think the new face is meant to make him look younger/innocent/vulnerable/scared so as to make his life seem a bit more tragic
i like what theyre going for with the hair but its currently dumb as hell in both renditions
>>527326238
i dont think that morphlings problem is that hes made of liquid but that hes boring. hes ONLY liquid. theres not much to him. and so artist arent motivated to make cosmetics for him. so if youre sacrificing the original design to make way for cosmetics i feel you already fucked up.
i personally would welcome a design more natural/wild design instead of another monster playing dressup. though i guess everybody trying to look fancy/civilized does sell a feeling of keeping up with the jones or social pressure felt in more urban areas. dont know if viscous would care about social pressure, but i guess he likes pretty things like geist
>>527328178
her old models biggest problems is the eyes and the hair. they fix those and she'll stop looking like a real doll. her dress needs a touch up too.

>>527298382
So he is no longer a stevedore or what?

>>527298475
She looks good, I don't know why people think someone that was burnt to death and came back as a vengeful ghost should just be girl, blue. Still needs the rest of the model to match her new look.

>>527298382
he looks gay now
>>527305223
I liked the tired femcel look

>>527327903
price is innevitable in this and none of what you proposed can bring money with the monster viscous that was in the works
and any idea to change the way the skills look or work would be a big ammount of work for a simple skin/cosmetic that isnt a high tier for a character that doesnt seem to be that popular in comparison with the others
i dont like the new change but cosmetic wise it makes sense why they are doing it

>>527326238
>They learned their lesson through Morphling in dota 2 that making a hero out of liquid ruins their skin potential.
morphilng would get a shitload of cosmetics if valve actually allowed to change his shape rather than requiring you to add shit on top of his regular shape

not that it matters because his entire model has less polygons than hoodwink's tail, looks like shit, and the hero itself is really not that popular to begin with. viscous is 100% gonna get fucking dogshit cosmetics though make no mistake

>>527328178
they only things needed were a higher quality model, fixing some parts of her face and the hair, that was all
i like the bored expression

VINDICTA IS SUPPOSED TO BE 16

>>527328178
I feel they should give her eyes pupils still

>>527333407
perfect

>>527267830

bro even dlg designed viscous better lmao

>>527331640
if her deal was too spook the descendants of the guy that killed her yeah sure go with the bunt body look
but she doesnt do that in game or story

Vindicta's leak genuinely looks too fucking blurry. I don't even know if it's an edit or not because it looks like the body never got changed.

>>527267830
>change head to look less like dynamo
>turns gooboy into dynamo
why?

>>527333862
That is her whole deal.

>>527328178
i cant really tell what her face looks lile in the new model
why are these leakers so fucking useless

>>527334427
yeah killing them not scaring them to warrant aome ugly burnt victim look

>>527334731
>character named after revenge shouldn't be scary
????

>>527298475
I love her hair but I need a WAY higher res image to get a feel of her face.

>>527331824
>now

>>527334882
>character named after revenge should waste time spooking people instead of killing them
???

can one of you just drop a high resolution screenshot of the hero select so we stop getting these fucking blueball leaks with 5 layers of .jpg

>>527331847
>price is innevitable in this
whats this even supposed to mean, valve sells lootboxes with skins that range from 3ct to 3k $
>none of what you proposed can bring money with the monster viscous that was in the works
you lack vision and creativity, ive said it before
all i did was give you one example on how they could make money with this you mental midget
>"uhhhh but you cant sell hats for a piece of goo"
why not? man youre stupid

>>527298382
>They turned Lash into a faggot as well
Holy kek, this gayme isn't beating the DEI allegations.

>>527335317
>character named after revenge should waste time making herself pretty
??

>>527335486
if you see a guy and think about gay sex thats on you faggot

>>527335486
How does that look like a faggot? It's ghe archetypical STRONGMAN look.

>>527331847
>yeah the redesign is dogshit but it needs to be dogshit so Valve can make more money
Can't sell skins if no one wants to play your pozzed game

>>527331824
>now
literally every single chick i've seen react to lash's old model has said he was closeted gay

i think it's just the stache and the scarf honestly. maybe the marine tats?

>hating on Lash's design
This place is hopelessly dogshit.

At least Vindictafags bave the right to.be apprehensive.

>>527335804
have you seen the previous model in action or are you a reactionary retard saying retarded shit?

>>527335551
>character named after revenge should waste time making herself pretty
but she isnt doing that, thats how she looked that before death minus the blue skin
with that logic vindicta should just be wisp with a sniper rifle

>>527335593
>>527335621
>ummm he heckin looks like a strongman
He looks like Freddy Mercury, the gayest man to ever live
>sparkles
>gayer haircut
>gayer moustache
Another placeholder model that was better the final one.

>>527336405
i forgot that anon knows more about how ghosts work in this universe than the game's writers and designers

>Constantly communicate with team about macro shit
>They don't listen
>They opt to take the fight in between lanes that accomplishes nothing
>They will happily sacrifice all walkers and base guardians to keep doing this for 30 minutes

>>527335464
>whats this even supposed to mean,
are you dumb? Again it means your idea will not sell you aren't even proposing something just a really vague concept
>i gave one example
yeah a really dumb example, wasting time to have multiple different effects and animations for each viscous skin is retarded specially if he isn't a popular character

>>527335924
Brother it's like one or two guys 90% of people here called it amazing.

>>527336494
>retard
>faceblind
is this some kind of gay falseflagging propaganda that you can "claim" this character as gay or something? you fags are so weird

>>527336769
ive got another idea just from the top of my head, look the new model for his goo punch
bam, 5 dolla, ez money
you are creatively bankrupt and stupid, sorry you have to find out this way

>>527336540
something you and that other anon aren't
concession accepted

Is the vindicta remodel still completely new?
Her body hasnt changed at all

>>527336247
>a-a-are you just a reactionary?
your reddit buzzwords don't work here faggot.

>>527337170
jesus christ why do they keep making everyone's heads smaller

>>527337010
see one dumb example after another

>>527335924
go back to r*ddit if you want a toxic positivity circlejerk

>>527337301
you got any idea how many people would pay to flip other people off ingame?
im a genius, youre a contrarian debby downer

>>527337170
so you are a reactionary retard, good to know

>>527337396
Nah. If I wanted to be around retarded cucks who see cocksucking fags everywhere then this place is perfect.

>>527337285
its STYLIZED

>>527337513
yes I'm reacting to another dogshit hero design by the DEI devs at Valve.
How could I possibly not react to it? Do you understand your own buzzwords or you just mindlessly regurgitate them?
>Stop reacting to things you heckin reactionary

>>527337650
>If I wanted to be around retarded cucks who see cocksucking fags everywhere then this place is perfect.
I can see why you like pozzlock so much

>>527331640
She was killed at Salem trieals, noone there burned

>>527337170
new lash does look quite clean cut which i guess does show a very narcissistic vapid vain side of him. the haircut is dangerously close to a comb-over + the very clean eyebrows which is kinda zoomery
the old model definitely make him look more like a dock worker/boxer/bum
i think i like the lack of eyebrows though. makes him look like a common thug which he kinda is
>>527328178
glowing hair and dark eyeshadow. its obnoxious, oversaturated, overstimulating. its like when fat people cant drink water because theyre too used to overly sugared drinks. looks more like an led rgb cyberpunk whore
her old plain simple look fits a colonial girl and looks nice

What does this mean for fhe july open beta rumor

>>527338862
nothing
also won't happen even if it was planned because of valve time

is grenade spam paradox viable? i know the current meme is express shot but i like her grenade

>>527338862
I actually believe now that it was planned but in typical Valve fashion they couldn't actually meet the deadline so it's been postponed/cancelled until further notice.

They probably intend to go open beta with all those leaked heroes and all the models updated, which is going to take a hell of a lot longer than the small team working on the game can pull off.

>>527339179
>>527338862

yeah i definifely think that was a true leak
but it wasnt official and probably just valve floating the idea around
i reckon well get a big hero patch first then the final stretch on the road to open beta

did they fix the mmr shit, haven't played since november
how is abams/shiv

>>527339179
if you actually believe anything that you just said then i pity your low iq

>>527339080
It's like worse kudzu ivy.

>>527337170
There is something about left that is just funny as fuck to me. Hope they bring it back as an emote or custom skin or something.

>>527339554
not really
good

>guy gets tilted in lane
>starts feeding on purpose
>despite the feeding we still manage to hold our own somewhat
>retard notices this
>stops feeding and starts actually trying
>but it's already too late, we can't play past the massive lead he gave them
>just ends up dragging out a shit game even more
This happened at least 3 times over my Deadlock career.

>in line of sight of infernus for 3 seconds
>he does 2k damage from his passive + toxic bullets
>he has zero (0) spirit items (no not even spiritual overflow)
why is this a good idea again
>just buy debuff remover
does nothing since he can just shoot me for 3 seconds and get his passive + other debuffs up again

>>527339554
Matchmaking is worse than ever. They refuse to implement a real solo queue or let high MMR players have really long queue times so it probably can't be fixed without a massive influx of players.

Both Abrams and Shiv are both extremely good.

>>527340286
id get -attack speed items or disarm for him, something like rusted barrel, suppressor, juggernaut or phantom strike if you like being close since most of them dont want to buy unstoppable

theres no point to them focusing on matchmaking and queues when deadlock is eventually going to get a bunch of shit like all pick, all random, draft mode, etc.

the current system will probably get used for casual quickplay

>>527337513
>>527336247
You have to be at least 18 to post here

>>527340784
Outside of the launch window there's never going to be enough players to support a bunch of different queues. The game sucks and just doesn't appeal to enough people. Millions of people have already tried it and it's lucky to get 10k players a day.

>>527341435
A fuckton of china, this game's actual playerbase, still haven't tried it thoughbeit.

>>527341435
Just like team fortress 2 will never get an update and you will never be a real woman

>>527341817
Team Fortress never dropped the amount of players Deadlock has. The beta for TF2 was huge and it remained huge until release.

>>527342678
>The beta for TF2 was huge
there was no beta available to the public, there was a week early access and besides bugfixes nothing changed much for the next year

>>527342678
me when i lie

>>527340509
is there any real way to play Abrams outside of just being a tank? This is the most boring playstyle imaginable but spirit or gun can't carry games

>>527343103
Abrams gun is actually pretty good though and his shoulder charge lets you shit out a lot of free damage

>>527340673
i just do not think having a passive that gives you free extra damage from basic attacks is a good idea

>>527337876
so you are a reactionary retard naad you never saw that unused viscous model in action
lmao

>>527343608
Well then must be a skill issue on my part

>>527343968
eh, its fine
lots of ways to play around it, line of sight, items, abilities etc

>>527328178
new head looks like she has microcephaly, and new body looks fat. she's supposed to be a starving teenager from the 1600s, not an obese HFCS landwhale from modern times.

>>527344483
there is no new body

>>527344483
Body is the same.

Seens like for some weird reason they just changed the head probably to check if people like it I guess.

>>527267960
>retarded vindictia gooner porn addict thinks every male that isn't a twink is gay pandering
get cancer. you and your tranny ilk are a plague upon gaming.

>>527344764
They're working on adding facial rigs to all the heroes so they can test facial animation and lipsync.

>>527344483
is the same old body

>>527345073
from the two pics we have she looks... wider
or do you know something we dont?

can we get an ACTUAL good look at a vindicta's new face?

>>527319159
I honestly really like both so I have 0 complaints.
maybe smooth out the hair to be less "outward pokey" and that's it.

>>527319159
he looks like a 40 yo hapa on the right, he looks like a young dude on the left and therefore it fits way better

>>527319159
Pockets was supposed to be young so this actually makes sense

>>527345610
>>527345561
lmao

>>527344520
>>527344764
>>527345073
Look at her dress, specifically the hem. They did work on the body. She's also a lot wider than before. Anyone who isn't blind can clearly see.

>>527345757
im genuinely retarded i meant the one on the left looks like the 40yo

>>527345790
Maybe they're setting up for her newer model wbich will have a poofier skirt

>>527345790
The "second image" is a photoshop of the first image, they even left a weird light artifact in because they thought it was part of her hair.
There might have been animation changes but the body model is exactly the same.

>>527346039
Oh wait is that true? So we don't actually know Vindicta's face?

Thank fuck.

>>527346039
just noticed her hair has ghost stink lines all around it
what does she smell like

>>527346039

cope lmao

>>527320421
At this rate, the game will have the artstyle of an anime gacha slop game when it releases and reddit will still eat it up

Honestly, I'm just going to self report as a shit player that is just tired of what the game throws at me. But can you guys report this shithead?
https://statlocker.gg/profile/207811034/matches
They have been doing nothing but abusing the hole in the skybox and being annoying that way. I already reported the user through the game, it didn't work, and for some reason if I try to report the account itself in Steam it never loads. Just check any match where she plays as Vindicta. Chances are she did that shit in that match.

>>527346039
Proof that the frontal leak is fake?

>hurr it has to be a MOBA with MOBA elements

great, let's see what the common behavior of players is

>Mirage is farming a lane when our last is being pushed, because he wants farm
>you are farming a lane, a teammate zipline boosts over to you to take half of it instead of the 4+ vending machines and jungle camps (he is infernus and can use AOE to quickly jungle)
>hey the small camp off to the side of the lane spawned, time to abandon your lane partner vs. an aggro enemy lane
>our walker is being pushed by nothing but creeps, let me farm this jungle camp real quick
>Our Kelvin is being chased by 3 enemy heroes into us, a group of 5. Let's not take the teamfight and keep hitting jungle creeps.
>Oh kelvin died, guess I'll ping "fall back!" and zipline back to base despite the numbers advantage
>The NPC jungle creeps and creeps in general should be super tanky early game or else we won't have laning. No they represent zero threat 10 minutes into the game, might as well be walking bags of gold for the enemy, this is a thematically accurate way to win a war, send useless shit soldiers that feed bags of gold to the enemy team

Christ this MOBA genre sucks. There's merit to positioning, using skills well, buying correct items and team cooperation, but this dogshit mechanic of "farm" makes no sense thematically and just causes people to act like swine. I'm the fucking purple crown rank and everyone at my bracket just wants to hit creeps

>>527352363
the extremely low resolution face leak is real, but the image with the eclipse background is just that image pasted over a different image of her lower body, which is why it "looks fat"

>>527352701
So she still looks like shit

>>527352701
Vampire Bat won

>>527352701
>>527346039
Holy fucking cope. She looks like shit. Deal with it.

>>527352443
mobas and jungling are retarded, but this could all be solved if you just shouted at your team in voice

>super close to emissary
>yesterday the game gives me nothing but raging teams and genuine retards
>first game of the day its a total stomp for our side, other team didnt stand a chance

ok I guess

We need more leaks on the Vampire waifu already.

great matchmaking. 30-4

>they kept vindictas long braid

Thats all i needed to know

>>527362742
the face is a fucking tragedy.

>>527362795
I need a way higher res image to make a judgment call

If she looks younger then kino
Keep the glowing eyes and dripping mascara

>>527362795
Her face looks like the Flatwood Monster it's fucking awful. I thought Valve learned that they needed more cute girls in the game but then they turn Vindicta into a bug-eyed alien.

>>527362795

Wraith, Miku, and Geist were all made cuter. Maybe if these leakers weren't refards we'd have a better look.

>>527362795
looks better than the dogshit it is now at least

First time I've seen an Ivy carry in awhile, poor guy had a team too bad for it to matter

https://statlocker.gg/

Are these stats decent?

>>527367025
this site is like 5 months out of date, what useless bullshit

>>527363164
>Miku made cuter
No she is a different woman now and nowhere near the VN Miku

>>527367409
VN miku just looked like some offbrand tf2 character

Like one of heavy's distant cousins

Stop getting attached to indev assets.

>>527368376
There's lots of ways to improve over the placeholder Viscous model, I don't hold it in high regard. but this ain't it.

Vindicta is w/e.

open beta in 2 more weeks trust the plan.

Why does the game get easier as you rank up

Seems like the average rank has gotten lower, finally Phantom feels like less of a meme

I'm the greatest Kelvin player on the planet

>>527369915
get worse*
ftfy

>>527362795
Her current face sure is, people here are legitimately retarded for defending it

>>527375031
Valve should just pull the bandaid off already wirh all these redesigns

>>527368376
no

>>527337170
damn, new lash looks fucking good

>>527329334
pretty sure a six stack got me com banned for a week because I said gay fag to one of their players once

>>527368376
Just gooned to ivy, felt so good.
So when are we getting the next update if it wasnt yesterday?

>>527387401
When it's ready.

>want to play some deadlock
>it's 12pm GMT so it's like peak russian time right now
What do I do?

>>527267830
>rip coomer viscous mods
what do you mean "rip"
if anything they're going to peak

>ranked up to emissary
>two back to back oracle games

i think they want me out

Can someone post the Yamato redesign

>>527298382
fixed it

I'd just like to take a moment to tell the faggots and trannies from the high mmr thread that you should seek christ.
you will never be a woman.

>lanes pushed up
>entire enemy team rotates to stop solo split push
idk bout yous but imma fixing to do some of ours junglin

>1 month and a half AT MOST before open beta
nature is healing

>>527393671
Fake rumor btw

>>527392343
horrible.

>>527394389
proofs?

>>527393671
kek. this game really will die before release if they think its good enough for open beta now

Are people just retarded in not buying counter items?

>>527395645
they are following a build blindly
ritualists are the worst and its the majority of games
just had an archon game where I was the only one countering the enemy carry

>>527395776
>just had an archon game where I was the only one countering the enemy carry
This always happens to me, rarely do I meet someone that builds counter items and cooperates. I bought Div Barrier to dispel Haze's focus lens because these retards keep going solo and getting killed by her.

Where did this open beta shit even come from

this worked?

thoughts on this build
am I retarded for liking toxic bullets on her and holliday?

>>527396720
Some BR "leaked" it ages ago.

>>527396720
iirc some brazilian streamer talked about something big coming in july and that several creators and streamers (including him) got emails for a deadlock event.

>>527398092
I tend to just skip to crippling headshot since it also has a 35% healing reduction and requires no build up. Because of Geist's daggers healbane is just so good for her, and you get a nice health injection on kills. Also why wouldn't you just get leech? And I like berserker for hybrid geist

>>527397845
Goals:
>Don't get killed (barriers, resiliences, fortitude, stacking 9 HP items)
>Make sure your hook targets are killed by your team (Decay, Healbane, Inhibitor)
>minimize own soul investment so that team carries get required farm (trophy collector, only one T4) to confirm your hooks

Collector provides hook range once it's maxed, enchanter gives a bit of CDR to let you hook more often. Not a very reliable pubbing build, I'm assuming he swaps which barrier he builds based on opposing team comp and yours was gun-heavy, but if he has a good buddy he can rely on to confirm the hooks for him...

>>527299912
>brainbroken supremacist retard spergs out in real time

I really dont think july open beta is possible considering the state the roster is in

They have like what 40 heroes already with more planned

Man I love it when Haze and Seven players share the same brain cell. No green items, dies to burst, jungles all game just to give up 1k soul bags.

Despite the soul lead, this was not an easy sailing match.
>infernus constantly sperging because he keeps feeding his brains out (this instance he was doing urn and instead of waiting for us to reach him as we were all trying to, he rushes into bebop and mo and dies instantly)
Fun match though, check out this bebop's hook

>>527362795
we need a better look but i like the current one more
just bug yoshi some more so she stays cute

>>527400132
I think it might look good just overshadowed by the spooky ghost makeup
Really need a good look at her facial features to get a feel for it

>>527362742
i wanted to see her without it

>>527398645
thats glass cannon, and we rolled too fast and hard to get leech

>>527400132
she's a vengeful spirit hunting down racists. i want her to look more spooky. make her look scarousing. so the first thing youd think when you see her is whether to run away or let her sit on your face

but did they keep her bare feet

>>527400875
I don't recall commenting on glass cannon what do you mean. I was just saying that crippling headshot does what toxic bullet does healing reduction wise

>>527400069
how do you run into so many nutcases?

>>527402748
Doesnt inhibitor also do that though

>>527403664
yarp

>>527403729
Lurch is that you?

>>527401121
nah that is retarded

>>527404267
Valve seems to be going for the spookier route
so no u

>>527401121
>>527405763
He's right, this is gay as fuck to be running damage ops for garbage like nuvindicta.

Let's be real they should've kept this game in the vault until it was 90% complete

>>527305223
>>527346039
Obviously ain't finished but I see what they're going for with the glow coming out from the collar to give her a classic spooky look like holding a flashlight underneath your face, could eventually look good with a better dress and colors. However I still don't like it and think it loses the appeal of a witch trial victim, they should've made her looked more ratty and dirty to give off the impression of drowning like those witch trials victims did. She should look like Sadako from the ring her character is already taking a large chunk of inspiration from her already.

>>527408724
How can someone be so wrong in single comment?

>>527390786
>tiny legs and barrel chest
if you tried rigging a female model to that skeleton it would look like this

>>527409446
example being?

>>527409583
1. Salem Witch trial victims weren't drowned
2. Sadako is so overused and cliche.

>>527408516
Attention whores can't keep their mouth shut

>>527403785
narp?

>>527409841
Vindicta is not a victim of the Salem witch trials she is a victim of the Salem witch trials period of time.
Girl in dress with long hair returns as ghost to enact revenge with serial killings is both of their characters. You feeling that the trope is too played out is irrelevant since they clearly already going for it. Especially since deadlock is nothing but trope characters with a minute twist.

>>527410941
There's gonna be a Sadako skin within a year of launch guaranteed, no reason to make it the default. Long braid looks good on a flying character.

>>527410941
Did you miss part where Patron specifically says ''Eighteen souls joined you in Salem, but today you will have your satisfaction.'' And 19 is the exact number of victims from Salem witch hunt?

At least read bit of lore and about historyt before making yourself look stupid.

>>527410941
>A victim of John Hathorne during the Salem Witch Trials,
19 people were executed by hanging as opposed to burning, which is a myth made popular by films and books.

>>527411637
she should have a giraffe neck then

>>527411574
More than 19 people died.

>>527411798
cartoon logic

>>527411931
Please go read about Salem witch hunt, stop being retarded.

>smurf on my team
>is actually slaying shit first half of the game
>teammate glazes him hard for going 24/2 as abrams
>says he's high ascendant
>then goes on about how easy this is and wants this to keep going to get more kills
>immediately turns the tide of the game
>doesnt get a single kill afterwards for the next 15 mins
>rages dives in 1v3s and bitches about us not helping
>dc's right before patron drops and gets BTFO
adding "rank" to this was the biggest mistake valve ever did to this playtest

>>527411931
>In the year of the Salem witch trials more deaths were caused then the 19 executed. The patron stating 18 fails to capture both the omniscience of the patron and the morals of vindicta if she were to consider the others not worth of also getting vengeance for. Which is fine for flavor text in an unfinished game.

crazy to me how they thought it was a good idea to add this, and then never change it. in fact every new character has some amount of fundamental stupid bullshit that never gets addressed or even acknowledged. i do not think doubling down on bad decisions is good for the game

>CRETIN YOSHI IS THE SIN OF SINS

If a TI Deadlock ever does happen they're going to have to lift people from the Dota community or something because the only 'content creators' left playing this game are either autistic as fuck and have no charisma (Mikaels/Death) or are the most unpleasant swampwater assholes to have ever walked the earth (Lefaa, Vegas, Crayons, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.)

I look at who's playing in those Fight Night tournaments and I wouldn't cheer for anyone there.

>>527468570
I don't see it either. Dunno if it's the art style or just the game being too difficult or what but I think this is going to get a final push from Valve, get ~20k players on open beta, then quietly lose developers until it slowly dies out, eventually never reaching official full release.

>>527468736
>get ~20k players on open beta
>when the shop update got 20k players while still being in closed beta

I accept your concession.

the amount of people who are interested in deadlock, yet not playing because it requires an invite could probably all fit within a bus. getting rid of invites and going into "open beta" won't bring deadlock to 100k.

>>527472961
>>527474776

because people were convinced that the alpha was the real dev pace of the game

This is the EXACT same energy that was at the beginning of Artifact/Underlords.
>"IT'S A VALVE GAME IT CAN'T FAIL!"
>"This is gonna be huge"
>"It's going to TRULY take off soon"
Those games also had insanely high CCU at their peak with dramatic falloffs. It's just the nature of Valve these days.

>>527478092
both of those were considerably less "games" than deadlock is, and had zero potential for expanding their gameplay or acting as a framework for mods
underlords had a turnaround devtime of like 6 months

>>527495459

I don't know if it's just me but game feels unplayable without fleetfoot. I have worse farm, fights feel bad, chasing someone is impossible unless someone stuns them, and it generally just feels awful to get slowed every time you shoot. Am I overrating the item or is it mandatory on most gun characters just like Boots are in dota?

>>527496360
Ivyfag here. We have fleetfoot passive innately. Probably the justification for shitty base damage.
I think they should buff ivy's gun damage and just give everyone fleetfoot passive and can the item.

>>527480393
Face it, this thread is full of bait and people why came to cry because they got banned on discord/reddit. I don't care if this will be the next Fortnite (it wont).
I just like this game a lot even in current state while hating OW, LoL, Apex Legeds etc with a passion, so I have nothing to gain from the doomer talk and complaining about heroes/players since I genuinely enjoy the game.
And I feel that every remotely sane person is in the same boat as me, so most talk goes over people's heads.
Maybe if people were just finding and posting cool art threads wuld be more palatable but who knows.

>>527484091
>why is there always an anchor and how come I have to practically scream down the mic to get people to pay attention to the map
Matchmaking is incredibly unbalanced due to low player count and lack of care (dev time is better spent developing the game anyway so whatever) so there's usually multiple people who have no idea why theyre building the items on their build guide (their item build sucks total cock) or they have no idea why defending spaces of the map is so important etc. For example if you're a phantom and end up in an """""Archon"""""" team that means you have multiple ritualists or emissaries on the team - adjust for whatever rank you are and you will understand why it seems some players on your team have no idea what the fuck is going on

>>527510249
the game is 100% going to die because of this. I'm just about to lose my 3rd game of the day in a row because none of the teams are even remotely balanced. it's just me doing well into 5 niggers jungling.

>>527511246
They're clearly focusing on their closed-source playtesters again so as long as the full release of the game doesn't have this issue then it should be fine

>>527511302
Yeah no the game isn't going to have any sort of reputation left for it to pop off later. Just because this is a Valve title doesn't mean matchmaking can just feed people dog shit anti christ games for hundreds of hours and spring back to life later down the road. These people are going to wind up sick of the game and not coming back. There's no player retention because none of the games even TRY to be balanced.

There's nothing to be done about it when there's only 15k people playing the game right now unless you want to wait over 30 minutes in queue.

But you're only partially correct. The major reason why there aren't more players is because there's no progression system, no skins, no custom gamemodes and etc. The game is unfinished and it shows. Most people, like me, want to play a finished product.

When Deadlock officially releases 1.0, then we'll see whether it succeeds or fails. As of right now, if we compare Deadlock to Supervive, another innovative game in development that's a MOBA Battle-royale, Deadlock is doing loads better.

>>527513865
we even have ranks, so you cant really speak of "no-progression"
the game really filters all the zoomers who need shiny things delivered to them constantly, for everyone that started gaming before live-service shit playing a fun game is its own reward

i had a dream wrecker got redesigned and he looked like robot

>>527514106
>we even have ranks, so you cant really speak of "no-progression"
These are also unfinished and broken to all hell
>the game really filters all the zoomers who need shiny things delivered to them constantly
But these are Valve's main target demographic and Valve are too lazy to do all of this themselves. Treasure the unfinished feel of the game while it still lasts, before the dark times, before the community-made hats arrive.

>>527514279
>These are also unfinished and broken to all hell
i dont care, game works, its like 50/50 of decent match/stomp-getstomped and this is fine for me

swish

>>527514539
Yeah same, just don't take the rank seriously and play your best. If you are good enough you will somehow rise above the elo hell.

>>527514568
why do people not hotkey levelups? just set it to alt+skill
always cringe when i see mikaels also clicking his shit, its so slow

>>527514106
>>527514539
Let's be real, do you really think the casuals, the main driving force in every live-service game, will see that as progression? That's a gamemode only sweats play.

So no, Deadlock currently has no progression.

>>527514963

>>527514963
>will see that as progression
yes unless you are a retard

I miss 4 lanes
I want 4 lanes back

>>527514782
I switch between them. Not sure why, I think I sometimes use my mouse to level up when I REALLY don't want to take a finger away from WASD (like when I'm moving). I see a lot of high level players click as well. Maybe it's just FPS fags like me who prefer clicking icons over hotkeying. Like I notice I level up with my hotkeys if I'm aiming or looking for a shot. Also I guess there's the issue if you bungle it you might accidentally use the ability when you press 4 trying to level it up
>>527514806
honestly I love all the interaction details in this game. Like heroes having nicknames for each other or characters having their ability lines change if they're on critical health

Like Holliday's crackshot lines are pretty lame, not very cowboy-y but when she's low and she lands a crackshot she says a very strained "bang..." which I like

>>527515731

which is actually not THAT many heros, but you can just build them to chase with fleetfoot

In one line she does, then Wraith talks about earning her money through crime, but at least its was earned and not inherited. In another these two have a girly talk about hats.
>i still really wanna hear her exchange with vyper
Dude please, Vyper's best lines are her roasting the fuck out of Calico and her failed assassination job so hard, Calico drops her pretentious tone altogether. There's a bunch of those cool dialogues out there:
>Seven claiming he wants nothing to do with Abrams' book
>Dynamo threatening Wraith if she tries to get his students into gambling
>Vindicta calling out Ivy's reluctance to kill as complete retardation which will get her and her adoptive family killed soon

>>527522641
i think im in love with vyper. honestly hope they make her ugly so my love for her personality is validated
but yeah when she said Wisconsin hooch is top shelf i laughed pretty hard

does anyone have a link to the mod with like 6 different heroes as morbidly obese pastel-colored furries? I saw a streamer using it

>>527523774
>honestly hope they make her ugly so my love for her personality is validated
Oh I agree, she's a skaven with scales and its superb.
>but yeah when she said Wisconsin hooch is top shelf i laughed pretty hard
I have no idea what she's always talking about but its funny as fuck. Tho the funniest one I've heard recently is Abrams offering Vindicta money to buy shoes and stop walking in NYC barefoot

i wish it was easier to see a hero's weapon scaling like in dota, gun mo just has terrible dps no matter what you buy

This is still a thing

>one of the longest telegraphed ults has a double-jumpable AoEs

I barely even play Abrams and I think that's a fucking crock.

>>527528623
The reall bs is that you can't drop with it early, or at least earlier. So its unusable anywhere outside of few open areas and even there enemy can just scuttle away. heavy punch + debuff reducer is your real ult

>>527528538
it was worse with the extra lane tho

>>527493805
everyone except Abrams and Shiv. You have to remember that there are barely any items that reduce melee damage and calico gets to land 2 free light melees every time slash is off cd.

>>527521702

>Holliday: You've done some horrible things and after this is over I'm gonna find out what

Stacking a lot of movement shit on Warden and going super sonic speed with ult is so much fun
Doesnt do much but I laugh my ass off when people scramble and run away when I turn into a hyper mobile Roomba

>>527530615
my favorite part is this mobility build offsets Fury Trance's weakness (no stamina use)

This game has tricked me into thinking I'm good at aiming by giving me a few free wins on Mirage. I'm not getting a positive KDA on him so I'm not being fooled Valve

General gist I'm getting from Valve is that they want nuance to movement, but they don't want it to be from esoteric bugs and hidden mechanics. HMC was a special case where as much as I loved it, it was kinda game breaking. Gutting it is too extreme of a measure though, it definitely can be balanced.

I'm also in archon, I can fucking destroy anyone here in a fight so hard that I get accused of smurfing, but then all these afk farmers outscale me to even out the skill difference. Nobody is happy in this arrangement. I now have to partake in afk farming because if I don't, the enemy team will eat my farms and tard through me with a soul gap. I hate it so much.

This shit happens in every rank too, apparently it's also a problem in the top ranks. Every rank has players that are complete dogshit, but they just afk farm all day to make up for that. I want to fight players that are actually good, but they're so rare. Everyone has shit itemization, shit coordination, shit movement, shit teamwork, and shit aim, but man shooting at those neutrals is so skillful am I right, guys? Should I just go faceit at this point?

>>527533194
You wish, the poster girl for Deadlock is Ivy which is fine don't get me wrong, unless Valve cutifies her. This or haze since she's one of the most played heroes and is also on the loading screen

>>527533194
That's a misprint, I meant to say "she's like this in so many interactions". Many "good" heroes will say shit like "you're a monster!" and she's just like "so?"

>>527533502
Yeah, but it's now a lot easier and makes a unique sound. I still would have never imagined that they would gut HMC and keep cornerboosting. It should've been the other way around.

>>527533164
This sounds like unsubstantiated rumor, but I'm going to choose to believe it because I fucking hate streamers and how devs give them special treatment. They're such babies.

>>527535368
Seven eats her for breakfast tho since he is an even bigger monster while also having the brains to backup his schemes rather than having a back alley deal with a powerful creature and hoping it works out. Don't get me wrong she is incredibly vapid and self-centered, but this kind of approach is catching up to her, so her turning to Patrons for help is an act of desparation.

>>527535721
>devs give them special treatment
Damn right. Remember how Valve altered how reports in higher rank Dota2 work due to some fag (was it Arteezy?) cried about being kept in low prio que because of troll reports?

Probably said this before but
>seven has an intimate hatred for kelvin. implying they have past affairs. kelvin also finds seven "familiar"
>seven and kelvin both have interest in the astral gates
>kelvin assembled a team for a voyage to a new astral gate. it was made of the brightest minds. seven is quite smart. and might have been apart of this team
>during a fundraiser for the voyage one of kelvins friends, edrick, made a scene. possibly opposing the voyage or choices for the voyage. apparently whatever kelvin did to upset edrick was bad enough that kelvin believes edrick has the right to kill him.
>seven is fully in support of revenge for the other characters and the shop keeper even comments on sevens revenge and rivals
>seven at some point loved someone enough that he'd sacrifice his humanity for power
HEAD CANON
>seven is edrick (pretty much accepted)
>seven had a disagreement with kelvin. this could have been over theories, science, ethics and the expedition or this might have been over someone seven loved, possibly someone also on the expedition team. since everyone on the team died seven harbors a strong hatred for kelvin
>more likely its the former. not a lot to support the latter (sevens love could have been kelvin for all i know)
>maybe after a disagreement between seven and kelvin, seven went to work for the osic
>seven wasnt captured for a serious crime. while in osic employ he did something he wasnt supposed to that crossed a line and osic tried censoring the whole scenario. that or they baited him in with promises to help in his research
>edricks disappearance was seven being thrown in lost whisper
>seven want to become a god for a loved one. possibly to revive the dead
>sevens love could also just be for knowledge and understanding

>>527541003
head-canon: seven's love was some scientist chick sent on a doomed expedition by kelvin (unwittingly). edrick loses it and becomes seven understanding that the accumulation of occult power can raise the chick back from the dead (and other evil stuff because he's lost it)

>>527535254
i said ONE of the poster girls, well flagships but whatever. im sure valve will have multiple posters like they did for dota 2: lina, morphling, bloodseeker, drow ranger
>>527535368
oh oops. well point stands

>>527541003
>massively evil edgelord is actually just hopelessly lovepilled to the point they don't care that they have become monsters to get their loved ones back
kino if true

>>527534543
It truly is baffling Valve made it this way, brawling is so much more viable in Dota even in farm metas but they make a fucking third person shooter a farming simulator. What is the point of fighting when at 25th minute you win a fight and get less souls from it than clearing one wave and one big neutral camp? Just comical. And it simply does not *feel* right.

>it's a dynamo that doesn't buy warp stone and gets 0 good ults off episode
every time

>>527490037
I was on a win streak of 11 games before they pushed me up from arcanist 2 to 3. Ranks seem almost static and meaningless, but maybe I'm just an arcanist scrub.

>>527542754
From what I understand, the soul yield will always be ordered as something like
> Objectives
> Troopers
> Kills
> Jungle/boxes
I think the idea is that if it's prioritized this way, then players would be incentivized to end the game, but in practice you can push waves and jungle at the same time. Nobody pushes objectives or fights because it has risk and turbo farming is more steady income. Either jungling needs to be a risky activity that attracts fights, or they need to make jungling actually fun for all players so afk farmers don't become server admin when nobody else farms. I don't care how they accomplish either, but this farming meta needs to die permanently. It actively makes the game less fun. I'd genuinely take the old brooling meta over this cancer we have now.

>>527541003
Its a very interesting and a likely premise, but Seven is completely and utterly psychopathic. He even admits to Abrams that what got him into Lost Whisper was ''offending powerful people with fragile egos''. He also believes himself to be a visionary, whatever he means by this.
Even if love was a driving force for him once he has lost his marbles long ago.

>>527542754
Valve will do what they did to Dota2, mark my words: devalue creeps and jungle, focus on brawls. They nerfed neutrals once already, just need to nerf boxes too.

Just had a very unfun game against a bunch of slippery fucks. Ended up just spamming a bunch of actives and silencer + ricochet in an attempt to stop them from using their slippery bullshit. Not fun at all.

>>527548078

think calico joined the baxter society because otherworldly creatures kept eating her cat?
do you think cats are a delicacy in otherworlds.
do you thinks thats why cats are thought to be able to see the paranormal and strange
so that they can run and hide from it

It's been about two months between patches so six more weeks might be right.

parrying melee-scaling abilities does nothing right?

>>527563228
You can only parry puddle punch at the moment

is it the hero patch finally?

>>527564651
What else could it be

We got the map
The items
Only thing else theyvcpuld add is alternate game modes and turbo

>>527565442
>Only thing else theyvcpuld add is alternate game modes and turbo
Oh please
>proper secondary map objectives
>metro layer of the map reworked
>jungle and neutral creeps reworked

>alternate guns for heroes
>add siege creeps, buff walkers and guardians
I'm sure people can name even more, and new heroes are being added very slowly anyway

man I just wanted to fuck around and test a build in bot mode but they even fucked that up, crazy

>>527566427
>>alternate guns for heroes
like what?

Do you think heroes will be free on release?

>>527566427
Map gets updated piecemeal

>>527565442
Sure, if you're going for minimum viable product. Deadlock's got a lot of potential to be more than "just a MOBA."

>>527560764
only once per day, we're still at least 2 weeks off
when you see 4+ updates a night it's within the week

Its going to be a new hero wave and redesigns/reworks

Then we get the jungle and creep patch

I don't care how long it takes for them to cook up new heroes, as long as it means they're not adding more cancer like mirage or calico. Give me unique heroes with interesting mechanics, I'm tired of all these flowchart mobaslop heroes that are tedious to play against.

>>527565442
experimental gamemode? they are sticking to 3 lanes and aren't going to change much of how its works or plays so maybe reuse some assets for a koth or maybe a ctf kind of map you alrrady have the urn as a base for that

>>527534248
I press the rescue beam I bought 2nd item

3v3 ctf except urns sounds kino desu

>>527569173
Its like every skill Calico has is an abomination one way or another. Which is a trend for most ''new'' heroes. Maybe the real way to balance this game is to bring everyone else up to her level?

>>527273280
>>527276446
retards defending that wraith who didn't even really push the lane, just cleared a wave and went back to jungle/box

retard alert

created a new account to test the matchmaking, I think valve is running bots or there's literally hundreds of cheaters which make up the top 500 players creating extra accounts and playing on them. I was consistently top 150 on my hero before and it's placed me in emissary and then it's now just placing me in completely unwinnable games and dropping it even further

>>527570875
>Maybe the real way to balance this game is to bring everyone else up to her level?
Just remove her

No one likes her design anyway

>>527575558

how long do games take nowadays
I haven't played in months

>>527578528
its a moba, that shit is a staple for this genre

>>527578834
It shouldn't be. It fucking sucks, and is not fun.

>>527577347
that could work but i dont see them going the tf2 route with them being sidegrades with some wild amd different effects

>>527579023
blame the genre
that and its a f2p valve game, which attracts the biggest fucking retards, look at tf2

>>527578528
calm down and realize nunna this mattas
>>527578834
moba is a game mode. if they just made a less sweaty game mode that didnt put the pressure on to perform, people might enjoy

>>527578528
if you don't like it then play with a full stack

your woes are entirely self inflicted

Damn, turns out I suck both at the game AND at crafting builds. Should I just copy what pros build or what?

>>527578528
This and solo idiot going right into the paws of the enemy team is how 90% of my lost games are going. Sticking together is too hard for this people even if I win lane.
>>527579442
I dont think asking to find 5 more people to play Deadlock with is realistic.

>people genuinely thinking the game would do better if they removed the moba aspects of it
not only is that market ALREADY even MORE cornered than mobas at the moment, but the hero kits are so based around the idea of levelups and item builds that it just wouldn't fucking work for most of them. I agree that it would be a more fun game than what we currently have but there's absolutely zero (0) chance we get that shit. The only reason they decided to remove the lanes was because that was less work than trying to make 4 lanes work. That just isn't applicable with removing the moba elements as it currently stands.
I repeat though; the game won't do any better if you casualized it. That market is too cornered at the moment.

>>527580010
entirely viable. there are plenty of game modes in dota 2 plus custom games. especially turbo mode
you have no idea if it would do better because youre not a prophet youre just full of yourself
bye

here's your lane partner bro, surely you can win lane with this retard right? EM* game btw

>>527580010
then dont remove it, it can stay as the main mode, but add custom or more casual ones like bebop wars or a sniper map for vindictas or something else

>>527580416
Fuckton of people play turbo too

I think the better question is: Warden, cut or uncut?

Unironically I would play more if matches didn't last 30+ minutes

>> Can now accelerate and slide off a mantle by holding crouch
I did not know this, neat.

>>527580416
look at how long the deadlock team currently takes to do ONE big change like the maps one and then ask yourself just how the fuck are they supposed to do something like turbo within a reasonable timeframe (because you fucking know they aren't gonna bother releasing the game with a casual mode on it)
it's not good mind you but that's just how shit valve is.

>>527582795
see above for a casual mode, as for
>bebop wars
>sniper map
people don't play L4D or TF2 or DOTA or Overwatch for the arcade modes. only a fraction of the actual playerbase is interested in those.

>>527590960
in it's heyday half of TF2's population was on trade servers or maps where they don't play any objectives and just deathmatch or fuck around

>>527590960
>people don't play TF2 for the arcade modes.
a lie, people are stuck on the 24/7 servers or in 2fort where they dont cap because its the unnoficial deatmatch mode

>>527590960
>people don't play L4D or TF2 or DOTA or Overwatch for the arcade modes
I dont know about OW but all those other games still have tons of players

>>527593662
dota arcade is a little underwhelming, i hope valve does a better job promoting custom games with deadlock

>>527591857
2013 was 12 years ago now, you can thank valve for effectively killing that entire community in one single swoop.
>>527593545
you can literally check right now and the amount of people on those servers are less than the people currently playing deadlock right now

>>527593662
i'm only talking about the arcade/gimmick servers/mutations, not the regular gamemodes

What official alternate game modes would be kino in deadcock?

>>527595770
>the amount of people on those servers are less than the people currently playing deadlock right now
doesn't mean much, the amount of people using TF2 matchmaking is also lower than the number of people playing deadlock right now
the characters and movement in DL have a lot more potential for custom gamemodes than even dota, since you're controlling your hero directly

>>527596313
hide and seek 1 vindicta vs 6 tankBVLLs all juiced up with colossus

>the characters and movement in DL have a lot more potential for custom gamemodes than even dota, since you're controlling your hero directly

not to mention there are loads of skills and item effects you can mix and match tonproduce loada of modes
the big thing missing from the game currently is just more creeps and general assets you can use for custom maps

sucks being a middle of the line shitter none of my wins feel earned they're just stomps in my favor fuck this matchmaking

no this is a retarded bandaid fix and kelvin and mo can boxfarm hard too, just nerf them again. box running is so fucking stupid and makes an already complicated game for noobs even more retarded. box running isn't even interactive, id argue it's even WORSE than regular jungling. also adds a gay rng aspect to the game as a whole

you guys are forgetting ONCE AGAIN that this is valve and they're the laziest fucking AAA developers on the planet. even blizzard puts them to shame

>>527600114
the fact that they're the laziest developers on the planet is exactly why they'll have custom game support, TF2 and CS2's live service updates are entirely carried by community-made maps, same with all of dota's skins. plus if they get something like autochess which takes off and makes millions of dollars, they're in a position to make even more by poaching them.

I never understand how the internet is flooded with women cosplaying cute sexy women and western devs just constantly pump their games full of ugly ass female characters.
Did leftism really brainwash them so hard they're willing to tank their companies and games just for politics?

Like no woman is ever going to cosplay fucking Calico or Haze because they're ugly. Vindicta maybe but she's also becoming ugly per the leaks. Geist maybe? But Geist is super fucking old. Even with her backstory being that she sucks souls to remain young she still looks like an old hag.

They just don't get it I guess.

thank god heroes like calico and holliday can just exist all over the map and rape your asshole constantly

>>527607272
>they're willing to tank their companies and games just for politics
did you miss the whole thing about companies getting premium for DEI and diversity hires?

>>527608679
Yeah but then those games ever rarely succeed. Games like Forspoken or Concord or Saints Row any of these other games with shitty looking characters have the company immediately go under and have everyone fired.
Is it just the higher ups that pocket the money? No way does everyone get a slice or you'd hear more of it.

this character is mind numbingly easy but i have literally never seen a good seven player before, are they all just in the high ranks? the only downside this character has is a giant head hitbox

>>527609267
I dunno I'm not super high rank but hover around Phantom and I see Sevens hard carrying often. His only downside is no real get out of jail free card, otherwise he's far more versatile than someone like Wraith simply because he can splitpush, dominate teamfights, and is actually a pretty strong 1v1er

>>527609267
seven's ult is so easy to cuck with basic counterplay items it's not worth it
the average retard just farms up to 50k at 20 minutes and keeps starts feeding 5 18 after cucking the whole team out of jungle

You aren't wrong, don't know why he's played far less. I get him every time I purple him despite him being broken cancer, maybe cause his kit is boring

i would rather go against a wraith every game than a geist or warden. wraith at least requires mild game sense and aim, plus she can be killed. warden and geist just facetank multiple people and have game defining ults that just let them say fuck you basically
>better cleanly and securely kill the tanky as fuck geist that tops healing every game or she just swaps you
>oh she got away from the fight for a second, now you have to respect her and play like a pussy lest you get hit for full hp and your team all gets AoE silenced cause the devs thought that was a good idea
>oh warden is pushing your objective or for space? gg he just presses 4 and rapes everyone and everything that he holds W on
theyve been broken cancer for so long too, warden has been bullshit since the yamato meta and nothing has changed
