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.

>here's your patch bro

>>532166156

>>532166594
WE ARE SO BACK
100 TRILLION CONCURRENT PLAYERS!

>>532166594
oh lol is this why i've had phantom oracle games all day

if you think valve needs to add crazy heroes why don't you submit custom kits tho

>started playing for fun instead of winning/improving
>drop to emissary 1

>up against an infernus/haze/vindicta/mcg
>Abramas doesn't buy played armor
>keeps building spirit
>ends 3-10

deadlock update leak (real)

>>532171027
>Abramas

>>532171512
I hope to god they keep the rutger concept because a rocket jump hero is kino

>Spend my games doing nothing but suck everyone's dick
>Full support dynamo
>Force feed my lane partner shields and heals
>We keep winning games
>Climbing ranks now up to archon 3

I will continue to suck cocks in this game until morale removes.

>>532171786
holiday also feels like soldier from TF2 imo. You have full air control after hitting the bounce pad (why isn't air control the default for every hero?) and you can melee the barrels down as you land on someone, like bombing someone as soldier.

>>532172105
which build do you run with?

>>532171704
How do retards keep misspelling his name, its 6 damn letters, 6.

>>532172105

I can't remember the exact name but its the speedy dynamo build, theta zero I think? I tend to use that as a baseline and then just adapt around what my team is/what they're doing.

>>532172278
Replied to the wrong person like a retard, oops, read above

Dynamo 2 is one of the strongest abilities in the game that's only kept in check because Dynamo players are fucking retards.
>can grab people through walls and floors
>fully invincible
deletes bebop bombs, avoids lash ult for your entire team, denys follow ups from combos, can save you from a dot killing you, etc etc

>>532172150
I treat holliday more demoman esque

Rutger specifically having a no bullshit rocket jump that even damages him was great

>>532172656
Real and true, I've been abusing it so much for stupid shit and it feels great

>Dodge bombs
>Lash ult doesn't exist anymore
>You can claim urn while in quantum
>Pull people through the floor to rescue them
>If your predict game is good you can just fuckin leave kelvin dome
>Emergency "stop taking damage" button for spicy dots
>Save teammates from hooks
>Short cooldown
>Refreshes all your ammo
>Firing speed increase

The list goes on

>>532172656
NOOOOOOOO BUT WHAT ABOUT LE EPIC STOMP BUILD???

>>532173090
>You can claim urn while in quantum
Wait what. What the fuck

>>532173951
don't tell Yoshi

>>532173951
Yeah dude, you can't claim it yourself but if you quantum a teammate while they're claiming urn, they'll keep claiming uninterrupted. Makes for good sneaks.

>>532174057
im telling mom

>>532174381
Can you deposit the urn in the same way?

>>532174874
Yeah, exact same way. Basically makes taking urn uncounterable if you work w/ a teammate.

>>532175102
Fuck I hope no Dynamo players from the enemy teams frequent this general then, urn is impossible to secure with the bh alone

what yoshi don't know won't hurt him

cant wait for the thread to devolve into the same two or three discussions aaaaa@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas

>>532176265
- new heroes when??
- STOP NERFING IVY
- is DEADLOCK DEAD?

>>532171512
GIVE ME DRIFTER AND SLORK

>>532176265
yoshi can fix this by releasing the update
THIS WEEK FOR SURE BROS

>>532176379
>- STOP NERFING IVY
this but unironically
no one complains about this bitch yet they keep nerfing her over and over

>>532171512
I cant believe these fuckers still wont redesign Yamato despite her concept art being the only thing they showed off

It's up

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok_yCUCzpLk

>>532172638
do you run trophy collector at all? i've been warming up to it lately

>>532177597
I think trophy collector can be run on any character/build that's great for racking up assists easily

>>532177597
Depends on how much we're balling out in a game, I float between trophy collector or veil walker a lot, or more protection if we're getting fucked by key targets. If we're balling out though yeah 100% trophy collector and I'm richer than the powerfarming seven by endgame.

>>532177468
I genuinely do not give a single fuck what this cuck says when he's in the fucking secret club build.

He's literally in the know and this video is just contentslop to make money out of.

>>532177468
This guy got absolutely buckbroken by metro. He's no longer /ourguy/, just another NA shitter in the secret club circlejerk.

>>532178428
>>532178669

yeah this lmao
how can anyone take this guy seriously when hes playing with a doster of 40+ heroes

>>532178669
>This guy got absolutely buckbroken by metro
qrd? link?

>>532178978
the experimental build is only open for a few hours two days a week, he's still mostly playing the same meta we are

>>532179209

are you in it?

>implying any streamers arent content hoes and wont make shit up to boost their pathetic yt channels
>implying any retard with the access to the secret playtest will give up on it to make one instance of yt slop and then get banned from the test

Crazy how the mechanic designed to allow players to gain more soul and have a chance at a comeback, can also be stolen by the team who is actively dominating and that the losing team has absolutely zero chance of contesting. It's almost like this shit wasn't actually well thought out at all as a comeback mechanic.

>>532177126
There was also a concept of new Warden design which is infinitely more sovlful, I'd rather see it than another diversity hire yellow hoe

>>532179209
The meta on experimental isn't the same as live

>>532180789
You can't play experimental 24/7 and he needs to play the regular client to remain relevant as a streamer

what's the SEX meta like?

>>532181454
Dominated by your mother

>decide to learn lash
>drop down one entire rank
>people REFUSE to push
>people HATE flex slots
every fucking game, its like theyre allergic to hitting towers

Are they finally releasing the breast hero this patch? I think her milk effects are really cool and wanna try them

>>532181803
just stomp, run away, and spoon feed your team with ults

Bebop remodel leaked

>>532182851
Yeah changing his gun from a laser to a handheld micromissile launcher was a bold move

>Shiv chunks you for half your hp almost instantly then only has to sneeze on you to be able to execute
>Basically need counterspell just to exist near him and even then he's unkillable cancer that shits out damage
Why has this hero not been reworked

>>532184076
>I didn't buy any defensive items, shiv needs to be reworked as a result

>>532184970
Bloodletting is DISHONEST game design.

>>532185058
''Dishonest'' is a new buzzword, its doesnt mean shit, elaborate what kind of rework/changes you want for him or fuck off

>>532185226
How much health does Shiv actually have? Exactly.

Dishonest health bar.

>>532184076
buy slowing hex, healing reduction, silence, spirit res

>>532185226
nta but it's a dumb ability. You have to buy decay everygame, and he always buys debuff remover. Even if shiv himself isn't too strong it's part of the "every mechanic is gay and annoying" albatross deadlock is dealing with currently

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

>>532185226
infernal resilience is the honest version of bloodletting
give shiv a new gimmick that makes him tanky, maybe something that ties into his rage meter so that's not a second ability tacked on to his ult

>>532187309
Infernal resilience is dogshit, it effectively takes a skill slot from Abrams in exchange for nothing. Weak != honest

>>532185986
This is a valid complaint. His extra hp should be outlined just like shields and heals are
>>532186491
This is a stupid complaint. Counterbuilding is the soul of the game, adapt or die

>Another episode of people don't understand hard vs soft counters
Building antiheal has 0 effect on Shiv's damage deference, and unlike against other heroes slowing hex doesn't last long enough for you to do any real damage to him, you essentially always need multiple people to shut him him down if he's building properly and isn't underfed. As expected from a general that downplays even Seven, I'm convinced you are all just meta abusers that don't want to admit you are boosted.

will frank mindbreak people as bad as shiv has?

>>532189021
Well considering the 4 heroes added to the game most recently were all obnoxiously cancer on release most likely

>mirage blows his tornado early in a gank
>gets absolutely mauled by abrams and dynamo
>autistic screeching in voice
>leaves

ah, yes, deadlock

>>532189328
>>532189021
Frank has a reincarnate
He is prime seethe material

>>532189021
Yeah, he has a bunch of insane aoe slows and inbuild resists, that is going to be way more annoying than being able to kill him twice.

i'm looking more forward to seven nerfs than even new heroes desu

>>532187960
>Counterbuilding is the soul of the game, adapt or die

You have to playing dumb. Heroes who can play on autopilot with mechanics that break normal shooter rules (e.g. taking damage) that require a lot more work to counteract is not fun gameplay.

>>532190097
You'll have to kill him 3 times, possibly 4.

>Cheat Death
>Refresher

>Kill Frank
>Cheat Death keeps him up a bit longer, maybe a teammate bought Divine Barrier and throws that on him because he has 70% damage reduction for 4.5 seconds, he could also pop his 2 and be flying out of danger with +10m/s move speed
>If he hasn't escaped, you kill him again and his ult kicks in, now he's got like 60-70% of his HP back
>can hit refresher anytime then and get all his abilities which besides a SECOND ult revive, include his escape ability and self-healing

Basically any team fight initiating on Frank late game is throwing, and any team fight trying to focus Frank at any point except for literally the last target is throwing. Maybe his DPS will be shit, but nobody else in the game will play the target dummy better than him and if your team has even one idiot who can't figure that out, you're already losing the fight.

>>532191205
>waste 12800 souls on items that make you not die
>deal zero damage and have no CC besides walking directly into people and inconveniencing them
Only sounds like a problem if the game goes super late.

>>532190097
i see the king has returned

do you guys think Ivy fucks?

>>532191379
I mean Cheat Death is the excessive part, but I don't think there's anything at all wasteful about buying Refresher on him, I was just pointing it out that he can be built to die more than even three times. I think it's not even a terrible first T4 investment for him as it's a big bump on his spirit which he already wants to put souls into as all his abilities are spirit scaling, and once he has it he basically can operate exactly like Shiv - go where he wants on the map and be completely unafraid of anyone trying to gank as he can easily survive 2v1s and walk away from it, meanwhile his team is doing important shit with the number swing.

I mean, lol, go into the testing right now and see what buying radiant regen and refresher gets him. Gets him the 9.6k +44 spirit breakpoint, you can grab something simple like Opening Rounds for +7 spirit and he's got 65 spirit at 12k, respectable gun damage and a self-damaging spirit damage tick that is being outhealed by radiant regen on a SINGLE TARGET. And 3 revives.

>>532176701
I literally have never heard a single person unironically bitch about ivy even when her kudzu build was good. It was just used.

>>532180569
It was actually okay when you A) couldn't see it and B) it was only to mid so you could do it fast

>>532180661
i hope they make his 8 inch uncut dick visible in his pants outline

>>532193390
Sorry, 2 revives, I was counting health bars.

>>532195371
Well A) that doesn't change that it's still too easy for the winning side to bulldoze and B) just makes it even easier for the winning side

>>532192659
we already had the sex update cause ivy gets fucked every patch for some reason

Multiple resurrects are normally a meme anyway. Skeleton King can get three and it's useless outside of niche arcade modes.

how do i get unbanned from the official discord? some german nigger banned me for reacting to a troon

germans are all mindbroken by sissy hypnosis made by jews

is vampirebat the sissy hypno hero of choice?

the top reddit thread right now is about how this game will pop off once valve magically starts advertising for the first time ever

just when you thought these retards would accept the sunk cost and move one, they fall to a whole new level of delusion and cope

>>532205009
People in this thread are the same way, I've never seen a game more deserving of dying and it's mainly because of the community. Retarded stockholmed subhumans.

>>532205674
Honestly I'm just enjoying the game for what it is. If it dies, ok, I've got my hours of fun out of it and it didn't cost me anything. If it becomes a big hit, I get to be smug about being here first. Win win.

>>532207126
STOP HAVING FUN

she's going to save deadlock

>>532172105
in a game with no draft, the chances of your team having a healer, and the enemy team not, are really high and it's usually a huge advantage

Why doesn't Paradox feel fine anymore

>>532209090
>genai slop

I one shot a full health vindicta with vexing bolt today, feels good

>>532205674
People just don't want to play MOBAs anymore, and yoshi doesn't seem interested in innovating on the things that make MOBAs so boring to play, like the farming for 30 minutes and snowballing bullshit. He also seems completely unwilling to walk away from dota 2 design, and I can't fathom why after 20+ years he doesn't want to make something different for once.

>>532209090
>genai gem

oh yeah dude 4chan doing nothing but whining about every single thing like its the end of the world but continuing to play is definitely killing the game man, yeah total dead on arrival title here. valve's just playing with us.

Valve should add a hero with a fox motif to this game.

>>532218164
It's more like the game is open to anyone with minimal effort and lost 90% of its playerbase over garbage decisions, keep dickriding nu Valve like they haven't fucked over their playerbase time and time again

>>532222653
TRVTHNVKE

>>532222563
NO ONE'S ADDING THE STUPID FOX BITCH SHUT THE FUCK UP AND KILL YOURSELF

>>532222653
it isn't out, no matter how much you guys chimp out every week about how there's 100 less people if the game isn't out and deliberately isn't known to people

>>532224509
>100 less people
We lost like 180k lmao

Jhd4

>>532225572
yeah in total, not today alone nigger

>>532222563
valve needs to add an anime girl character to the game

reminder to not give the tranime baiters (You)s

>>532226869
valve needs to add an eldritch horror character to the game

valve just needs to come out and admit they gave up on deadlock

Vampire Bat is the very first time Valve created an actual teenage character in any of their games with a skirt and thighhighs.

Chink money is unreal.

do you even know what she looks like below the neck isnt all thats ever leaked about her the fucking thumbnail and voice lines

>>532225773
that's even worse because it shows the game simply won't hold a playerbase in the longrun
same shit happened with rivals

>>532229137
if you think an invite only pre-alpha test build is an accurate arbiter of player retention for this game then i'm glad you're being filtered

>>532229370
give me another invite only alpha that made the numbers deadlock did and had the same dropoff too
i'll be waiting

>>532229370
It's an even stronger indicator considering the lengths people had to go just to get in, dumbass.

>>532228360
her and frank are the only ones we've seen below the neck

>>532231410
there's no fucking way niggas really fhink THIS is what's gonna bring in the chinese market. i refuse to believe anyone's THAT delusional

ES.Apophenic i know your autistic ass is in here
stop giving a shit about rank for once in your life and just play to have fun

>>532231992
Not just Bat
Its why there are more generic white women heroes in experimental now
Frank is a sad pretty boy
And the current roster is getting sanded out

>>532233108
you dont even play the game but youre here. why

Just played against a melee focused Haze, just kept sneaking up on people and melee + dagger + melee spamming people.

It looked pretty funny

>>532233556
>Frank is a sad pretty boy
This part is book accurate tho. But yes, the cutiefication is real and its sad, the atmosphere will be ruined by animeniggers and we will remember the old days with fondness

>>532235483
>This part is book accurate tho. But yes, the cutiefication is real and its sad, the atmosphere will be ruined by animeniggers and we will remember the old days with fondness

>>532238346
Much in the same way that Russian culture is indistinguishable from French culture

>>532238653
Closer comparison is how Russian culture is indistinguishable from every other eastern euro shithole

>>532229137
Rivals held players a lot longer than Deadlock. Rivals still peaks daily around 140,000 players. That's more than Deadlock will probably ever have again.

Can't wait for this game to be dead when open beta drops just so I can read the cope
>B-But it's just a beta not full release!

>>532235623
arr rook the same

>>532229370
sure lets just pretend millions haven't already played the game and quit
180k concurrent players /=/ the same 180k players. that's millions of people playing at different times of the day.

>>532241349
not saying you're wrong, just showing that having a big boost of players doesn't mean jack shit if you can't hold them and deadlock won't even have the coomer skins to bait players into it.

>>532241778
>I-IT JUST RELEASED GIVE IT TIME TO GROW
>WE HAVEN'T EVEN HAD A TI YET
>WAIT UNTIL NEXT MAJOR PATCH
>WE HAVEN'T HAD A NEW HERO IN 2 MONTHS OF COURSE IT'S GOING TO BE 4K PEOPLE PLAYING

>>532243656
it's probably gonna actually have a lot of people trying it at launch (not nearly as many as 200k though) which will make hopeposters get all uppity. it won't last, though.

>>532243603
reminder that millions of people have tried eve online. doesn't mean it kept any of them. player retention is what actually matters. and truth is, this game is frustrating as shit with a dog shit community that ensures 1 in 3 games are fucking miserable. people quit from that. no amount of 1% balance changes are going to change the fact that no one wants to sit there and play with russians all day.

Eastern euros in general are literal cancer. I wonder how many times it's going to take before live service devs realise this kills their games faster than anything. Eastern euros need to be relegated to their own servers. Imagine getting to play EU games without turks/greeks or any of the countries in pic. Can anyone honestly tell me the last time they enjoyed playing with ANYONE from these countries?

>>532243886
imo the dogshit community and the game being frustrating doesn't REALLY matter all that much because that goes for basically every single moba and hero shooter out there. the real problem is the market being completely cornered and the mishmash of shooter and moba elements not really appealing to an audience big enough to attract valve's attention
but it does make the game fucking miserable to play

>>532171512
The Boss is Andrew Tate

Patch tomorrow????

>>532244149
Yeah like dude I'm a competitive guy I like to win but I'm not a fucking cry baby if I lose. But it's so demoralising when you get back to back games where someone on your team just goes like 0-7 and your lane gets collapsed on at 5 minutes and you're just permanently playing 30k networth behind a super coordinated aggressive team and the same retard who went 0-7 is now vacuum farming your jungle and feeding the bags to the same people he fed in lane so you can't even carry him. Like there's nothing to be learned, no fun to be had. What puts me off is playing in a miserable match, not so much the loss. There's only so much of it I can take before I just feel like dipping.

>>532171512

its tuesday bros that means patch day

>Yesterday's backend change has made it so my phantom smurf is in arcanist games when I play a new hero
Incredibly good change Yoshi thanks

>>532247832
so the new hero lobbies are going to be even more of a shitshow than usual

>>532226742
This.

Cant wait for them to advertise this game all over the steam front page. Thats it. We will be like gods for the first week or so.

Valve needs to send gangstalkers to all weebs until they quit the game
>>532247832
I still have no idea how ranks work. I went on 5+ winning streaks with minimal changes but fell down 2 ranks after 3 games losing streak. I don't think that system is remotely functional

The retard I reported for aim hacks is still playing this game. How does VAC even work in this game?

>>532252861
Valvedronebros...

>>532252861
This game doesn't have VAC the bans are all manual

>>532205674
this board needs /vdg/, ValveDrone general, where all Valve fans can join and pretend loss of 99% of playerbase means nothing because "its muh alpha" and everyone will magically rejoin once they see it on a store page, and fans of anything Valve can join, such as people thinking CS2 releasing in a worse state than a 2013 console port of Counter Strike is okay, people that pretend Artifact did not actually happen (based Valve with their 100% record of creating PEAK!), people that think abandoning live services games is actually le good once they get old despite still being relatively popular, perhaps transgenders that think Source 2 is a good engine can join in as well, we can also invite people that for some reason think daddy GabeN is actually an active developer, people that think HL3 is happening, maybe also get some folx that heckin' love steam deck because they can play it in a hospital while their wife is birthing her boyfriend's kid or whatever
This is a good idea I think

Valve needs to send bitcoin bikers to all the anti-anime schizos.

>>532256234
People here were genuinely saying that the reason we were barely getting any patches for Deadlock for a while was because HL3 was happening, wasn't even shitposting they GENUINELY believed that shit. It isn't even that I hate Deadlock or really want it to fail I just don't understand the eternal coping and Valve dickriding that happens here when nu Valve is so incompetent and careless

>>532252861

Truly epic move by valve, just lying because they know drones will protect them anyways

Trannies frogbanned people for being le chuddy. That's why ivan and friends are able to hvh EU servers. Thanks trannies.

you get perma'd for sayin nigger but Semen Ivanov has been aimbotting in eternus 6 for the last 6 months without any reprecussions

GOATED

Semen Ivanov has been saying far far worse than just nigger, but its in his third world poverty language that nobody else speaks, so it's okay.

>>532259106
>reports do nothing
>anticheats does nothing

But don't you dare have a random disconnect or a game crash because you WILL be instantly placed into low priority, and you WILL like trying to get out for the next 15 games

>>532256234
Face it, people are tired of seeing those complaints over and over again, bringing nothing interesting, let alone new, to the conversation. Game dies this, game dies that, whats the point?
Every time its a whole lot of nothing and what ifs, which really have nothing to do with the game's state right now and are borderline offtopic. You want a really cool idea? Stop wasting your life and time on the game which will fail and which collects people you hate so much and move to greener pastures already.
>>532259578

>>532262174
Oh and Pocket. Forgot about the twink.

The fun part of the game is the small skirmishes. The 6v6 fights are almost all terrible because the game severely lacks good counter items and the map sucks.

>>532262174
Yeah, the most noteworthy is wrecker who is now called poltergeist and has a new model.

>>532263070
did they ditch the "occult golem" angle or is that just a new name?

Almost all the $3200 and $6400 weapon items are trash.

>>532263070
have they reverted the dog shit ult that no one liked and added back the crazy frog one?

>>532263246
Nope, still that vibe.
Majority of them were renamed, eg. Batty, Rifter (Skyrunner), and so on.

>>532263246
>occult golem
?
>>532263586
No, but the new ults visuals feel pretty good, clutter objects in the area begin to shake and stuff.

>>532264112
>?

wrecker's backstory was being some sort of big beast, I just figured valve was doing the golem archetype, a classic occult icon

>>532263998
batty is such an awful name I can't help but believe you

>>532264203
I'll believe it when I see it

>>532264203
Yoshi just said in the official Deadlock Discord that it's unlikely that any big patch will land this month. If a patch happens it will just be a small patch to adjust comeback gold values.

>>532265475
He did not say that shit LMAO

>>532265475
He did. Also he said that they're going to increase comeback gold and not decrease it like everyone wants.

>>532260325
Will Raven finally get an actual 3rd ability

>>532266272
Post it lmao

>>532264210
We already have a golem in the game.

>>532264210
That seems to be scrapped. I just checked and there is new lore.
>>532266809
His old ult is his third spell, but weaker.

>>532268169
what's his new ult then?

>>532268361
His umbrella is a hookshot. He plays pretty good.

>>532265475
bro i can easily check that, it's not true

>>532268169
I don't know where he was getting that idea, Wrecker's lore was about being part of a mystic PMC which use artifacts and conjured beasts to fight proxy wars. The voice lines and general feel of the characters abilities implied a brutality, but the background also refers to them as an "elite soldier" so I doubt they were full on slathering beast. And there's no way they'd use paradox's model as a stand in over like Mo or Abrams if the intention was for them to be a big monster.

My image was always like a gremlin sort of creature that is freaky enough to fit the impression of their voice lines, but still mostly human proportioned and is wearing clothes and equipment suited for their job.

>>532268829
I just did, he's talking bullshit

>>532231410
what exactly is this bitch's gun

>>532269232
She doesn't have a gun or even a mouse 1 attack.

>>532269232
Her cunny

Do you guys think they're going to do a rank reset on open-beta or some other milestone similar to that?

>>532270371
hope not, imagine the shit show

>>532270371
I asked in the last thread and nobody said anything, it's truly a mystery

>>532270371
I doubt they'll do one in open beta but they'll almost certainly do one at release. If the game is actually popular most of the people that are Eternus right now won't be able to get back to Eternus once decent players start playing.

i went from oracle I to emissary I and i honestly might just kill myself

>>532270967
There's no point in playing as a solo/duo right now because you're just facing 6 man stacks that are abusing tanks, deathballs and the increased comeback mechanics. The 25% increase to comeback gold from all sources in the last patch basically destroyed the game.

Why do y'all never post party codes we should just be carrying each other into Eternus so we can call MikaelS a nigger to his face

>>532272149
you'll never catch me yoshi

What if when Mo burrowed on roof he'd fall through it and cooldown reset

>>532272149
because this is fucking 4chan nigger, did you forget where you are?

>>532273197
Sorry for assuming that the place where everyone seems to run into a smurf and punch their wall about it would want a solution to said problem

>>532266272
>decrease it like everyone wants
Like who, retards? Snowballing is a massive problem, no one with a brain wants it to be worse.

>>532273514
don't make me 69 you, bro

>>532273532
>Snowballing is a massive problem
No it's not. You should be punished massively for sucking dick in lane.

>>532270371
I don't even care. As long as they fix the system and more players pour in, the ranks will adjust on their own.

>>532256234
>>532257148
when you put it like that i'm surprised more people don't just call them out on their bullshit honestly
seriously who the fuck genuinely believed hlx was ever releasing LMFAOOOO

/dlg/ - deadlock general and valve whining

>>532274004
>through no fault of your own, the entire enemy team suddenly has a massive soul lead
>it is now impossible to even remotely play the game
fun design, we should make it even worse for the losing side

>>532275994
The problem will work itself out because people that suck dick in lane will get filtered into low ranks.

>>532276317
>the problem with work itself out
it literally won't and you know it. It can and will happen at every rank regardless of player skill

>>532276904
the useage of the word literally like that flags you and your opinion as worthless

>>532275994
given that there's no surrender option, yes actually. that's the point. the game is meant to be predicated on how well you can build a lead early on, you can LOSE that lead with poor decisions or you can keep it and stomp them. most people would rather have a game with a decisive outcome than play tug of war for 3 hours until someone fucks up enough to end the game

>>532277284
>no actual argument, have to resort to making up an issue with something unrelated

>>532276904
It will work itself out and it's far better than what we have now where you basically want to lose early game so you get a massive increase in gold at 8 minutes.

>>532275994
>we should make it even worse for the losing side
Yes. Stop losing.

>>532277910
I want you to not sound like a pronouned retard

did they stop muting people? i've been calling people niggers for months and I haven't been muted once. it wasn't like this during last year

reinstall or verify integrity of game files or permanently uninstall and never touch the game again

>i've been calling people niggers for months
hey were you in my game the other day?

How the fuck is every M1 fag so tanky nowadays? Infernus, Warden, Mirage, even Vyper, just everyone except Haze has infinite hp and deals insane damage. And thats after Siphon Bullets was nerfed

Worth coming back to the game yet lads or are doomgods still winning like they are in nearly every online multiplayer game right now?

>>532310536
not saying those aren't options just saying return fire is dogshit, even metal skin is better (not really)

>>532310215
if you were gonna go to the lenght of checking the ID you could've just figured out which match it was based on stats and heroes alone
and it's just regular vyper gun build

>>532314815
What's the plan for doomposters if the game does fail? You can't seriously be this invested in just being able to say "I told you so" on an ANONYMOUS image board surely?? Nobody is that mentally ill

I used to play SMNC when it had about 100 people playing a day, I'll deal with low numbers because I like the game.

>>532318294
>pic rel
But in all honestly I rarely ever come here, I've spent a ton of time doomposting in /poeg/ because the game deserves it and it's funny to shit on the game. I want these games to do well but so often you look at the situation and it's just so over.

So whatever update is coming next, it's got to include some of the leaked hero labs characters. The question is, is it purely going to be hero lab additions, or are some going straight into the normal matchmaking? I think the latter, but I'm not 100% on who would be far enough along to be added that way.

I think these are a pretty safe bet, they either have fully realized kits or we know their models and animations are pretty far along from leaks, or both:
>Vampirebat
>Frank
>Priest
>Raven

These are less likely because their skills, as we are able to see them, are in a far less complete state but going by leaked portraits perhaps have quite a bit more progress done on their model and animations:
>Drifter
>Doorman
>Boho
>Bookworm

These are plainly a ways off and I don't believe they'd be in normal matchmaking and would be surprised if they even make it into hero labs:
>Skyrunner
>Swan
>Punkgoat

The remaining current Hero Labs characters who *could* go straight into matchmaking as they have complete kits but are plainly still a ways off model and animation-wise, however it didn't stop Sinclair so anything could happen:
>Trapper
>Fathom
>Wrecker

So overall I think 4-8 heroes are likely, with the possibility of all the current hero labs characters getting in for up to 11. Given how the leaked heroes seem to be having art assets fast-tracked, I think if a beta release is happening, they want a larger, more polished looking roster ready to go for it, so unless the old hero labs characters have gotten spiff-ups we haven't even caught a whiff of, I think they'll stay there in favor of ones in the second category. That said, we still have Vyper and Sinclair as she is, plus of course the Neon Prime rejects of Grey Talon, Bebop, and Yamato.

>still no fucking update

>>532319642
There's a big patch for experimental tomorrow so it's unlikely anything is going to go public for a few days.

real???

>>532331828
If valve really wanted to kill the game for good they will release it into open beta. I would say they aren't retarded enough to do that but these are the same devs that added ranked because people were begging for it

>>532330072
The issue isn't heroes like Shiv and Seven are OP, they'll be numbers tweaked until they reach 50%. The issue is their kits are dumb mechanics that take no brains to carry out, yet require a lot of work to counteract

>>532332431
if shiv ever reaches 50% wr the game is unironically dead

>>532320948

>>532332349
>>532331828
Makes sense to me.
I could see the hero update be the last big one with tons of letter patches after just smoothing things out, finalizing heroes, neutral creeps, etc.

Then they hunker down for the actual open beta 1.0-ish reveal months later. Maybe game modes, a real cinematic, Perfect World collab for Asia release, etc.

deadlock kart, believe

Sorry bro but loli Pugna is a staple.

>>532169196
I did and nobody commented on it despite it being infinitely better than the cheap, generic 1950s paranormal slop that has been done in every 1950s themed game ever like the undead diver suit one I saw once (not because the idea of mine was god tier but simply because said 'bar so low it's in the basement'-tier slop is simply such a low quality idea in itself that the standard to surpass it is near non-existent). So I decided to not bother.

>McGinnis' gun has high DPS on paper
>but it doesn't feel like it at all cause your gun's spray pattern is like playing Heavy from TF2 after the first 2 seconds of shooting both a blessing and a curse at the same time, it makes fine aim less of a factor cause you get a moderate bullet spread that can potentially compensate for non-laser beam aim, but at the same time when the RNG/clockwise bullet spread decides to fuck you, you really feel it
>but feathering the trigger isn't really an option, you're unironically meant to hold the trigger for full bullet RPM
>you also still lose to actual gun characters in a 1v1 unless you're insanely ahead or they're just piloted by retards cause they get free damage in their kits like Infernus, Haze and Wraith
>I also kinda just suck ass at aiming, I'm too old for this shit honestly but I get so bored of playing fucking Geist and didn't want to play as one of 3 literal nigger heroes or fucking try to aim while flying with fucking Vindickta
It's honestly so fucking unclear what McGinnis is supposed to be. Her turrets got gutted for having any impact whatsoever. I got retards in pubs telling me I should be building around her ult when everyone just runs away from it unless they're getting black hole'd or Mo and Krill'd and otherwise does absolutely fucking nothing due to the map layout. And her gun just feels underwhelming and her support capabilities are ass cause even with the -17 seconds on the Medicinal Specter's cooldown + Transcendent Cooldown it still has a ~15 second cooldown and retard teammates keep chasing the enemy instead of just melting the objective and in turn, running out of my heal zones. What is the fucking purpose of this hero??

>>532169196
it's not my job to come up with interesting hero ideas for the devs being paid triple digits to dumb down and add a worse version off. I already had enough of that shit a decade ago with overwatch. what's the point trying to think of something innovative or fun when you'll just get worse versions of stuff even valve itself did before like sinclair, or cheap alternatives to concepts being renovated by the fucking chinks like doorman?

they can't even figure out how to make shop items for fuck's sake. how long have the invis items been a throwpick for? how many of them are just AOE spam bullshit or stat stacks?

>>532324742
Cause most of the people playing this game are between Initiate and Alchemist/Arcanist. MOBA players stuck to League and Dota. FPS players are brown inbred gorillas. (my only source is that anecdotally I have never waited longer than 3-5 minutes for a game, even at 3 in the morning in burgerland). I'm locked in the Initiate bracket-- not due to retardation and brown skin-- but because I'm like 30 and can't fucking perfectly laser beam people or play like some kind of squirrel on crack.

>>532353597
okay grandpa that's nice time to take your meds now

>>532353738
Fuck you, coon.

Swan is pretty kino. She's basically a Vyper except instead of sliding it's all about jumping and dashing around.

Another Poopoo hero clearly.

unbelievable that this nigga is still larping
it's been months

>>532354014
literally who

Can't wait for pause to be removed from the game, never saw the usefulness of this shit. It's just a waste of time

Does anyone else feel like Calico is fucking useless now? Not that im complaining, but I have seen a single good cat nigger since the nerfs. Too bad all these cunts end up on my team

Soon the game will die.

Someone should just make a Sorasaki Hina mod for McGinnis. Hina has a similar machine gun and everything.

>>532165869 (OP)
>some retard here says that yoshi totally listens and implements feedback about the game in general because he replied to one of his posts telling him to remove the moba elements with a "thx 4 fedbak :)"

lol
lmao
rolfmao even

So the new characters are just gonna be in lab hell for 16 months?

>>532357978
maybe even longer!

Might be a dogshit idea, but what if they made a whole new item category dedicated to movement/utility items? I've had this idea even before the shop rework and now it would be even more fitting. I think the movement system is done well enough to deserve it's own thing and not just bonuses thrown around here and there, with like 5 actual stamina/movespeed items

>>532358152
what would it increase on the tree? base movespeed? stam?

>>532358152
There could 100% be a game mode where you just have souped up lovement across the board.

>>532358793
NTA but movement effects whould be divided from stats and given its own slot. Like who would buy superior stamina to have fun when you can get +dmg or +resists statstick item instead?
So superior stam, fleetfoot, leap, maybe warp stone should yield no stat gain and only provide utility, but have their own slot to compansate

Can they please remove the -25% spirit damage on afterburn or just nerf it to -10%. Why does he even have this.

It's insane how cancer effects on hits across the lane are.

>>532362023
don't forget rate of fire debuff on his trail

>>532358793
Yeah, move/sprintspeed, stamina, slide and dash distance, reduced stuns and slows, along with some new mechanics like wallruns, jump height and so on.
Also I'd love to see some more unconventional items like majestic leap and veilwalker. Alch fire but it gives infinite stamina in the aoe? Freeze grenade that makes ground slippery? Anything that's not just a stat up or "does x when y" item

>>532362641
>new mechanics like wallruns, jump height and so on.
too much work. thanks for the feedback

>>532358152
>>532362641
>another page in the shop
>green becomes naked with half the items stripped away from it
>investment bonus that makes movement autists even more slippery
please no, "vitality" already covers movement

>>532362270
it makes 0 sense that they nerf kelvin every patch but they let Infernus have - fire rate on trail and a spirit inhibitor for 1 point.

I went to a thread on /v/ and someone was trying to argue that long range having 1 m/s sprint speed was too confusing and people were buying it instead of sprint boots.

>>532365180
>I went to a thread on /v/
Rookie mistake

>>532365180
What thread?

>>532365180
honestly, if the big shoe with wings on it doesn't scream MOVE SPEED then it must be a skill issue

>>532364869
Kelvin and bebop have been bashed over the head with constant nerfs, but shiv and seven remain down syndrome heroes that get value for simply being alive. The game doesn't need balance number tweaks, it needs reworks so abilities take skill

>>532375363
I can see how on paper Seven's ult is a big gamble but so many items makes it so oppressive you can only hope you find shelter in 4 secs

>>532375363
The game does need retard heroes like Seven, Warden, Abrams, so noobs could start with something. Seven can be nerfed with some number adjustments, but Shiv needs a total and complete rework if you want to take his most busted features out, but by that point he will be a different hero altogether

>>532375672
Don't forget haze also being for retards

>>532375363
shiv also got bombarded with nerfs but he's still retarded strong because they don't properly nerf the actual problems about him
you could argue the same for bepop (hook wasn't nerfed as hard as it could've ie way longer cooldown, way less range, changing it so you can shoot/cast while hooked etc.) but his literally everything else is so pathetically weak by now that even the hook can't carry him hard enough to be "meta" anymore
seven gets a slap on the wrist then a bunch of buffs back next patch every time lol idk why they love him so much, but he's not that unfun to play against unlike shiv/bepop/kelvin/infernus/wraith and others so i don't really mind it

yuro lobby?

Boring ass game full of boring ass characters (3 of the main gun build characters are also niggers, so that's cringe)

>>532357915
why would they? all comments about game vision amount to "remove moba, buff guns, buff movement in way I like".

>>532377343
This. It's literally just CoD/OWfag blabbering. Why would they listen to any of it? Just go back to your pozzed clown games if you don't want MOBA elements.

it really annoys me that diviner's kevlar and divine barrier's barriers don't scale with spirit like the t2 ones

>>532353261
mcginnis is a wallbot, splitpusher and zone controller, any other playstyle is basically thowing on purpose

>>532377343
i just found it funny that the retard actually thought they had his input into consideration is all

>>532378387
So she's basically worthless cause her wall doesn't do shit cause everyone's just rolling and leaping everywhere with like 5 stamina, her turrets don't do shit until you have 50k souls and if you split push you just die cause everybody but you and Geist get to be super mobile and can run you down with ease.

>>532377526
Deadlock is way more pozzed than Overwatch, Rivals, CoD...

>>532380996
sounds like you are just a shitter imo

is the update coming soon? i got chat banned after 2 months of spamming slurs so they must be getting active again.

>>532353473
>it's not my job to come up with interesting hero ideas

the idea is that you actually prove you have a clue what you are talking about. so far it's just whining about not having meme shit in the item store. there's a limit on that because it makes heroes less unique.

>>532353597
i'm mid 30's and routinely beat the shit out of small children and animals (in deadlock), git gud

>>532381582
t-tomorrow for sure haha....

>>532381560
Except it's not that at all. McGinnis can't out-fight anyone with a Gun Build unless they're dogshit or super behind, her turrets got gutted to be useless till you have 50k souls (Heroic Aura, Healing Tempo + Spirit items cause your turrets don't do relevant damage till 150+ Spirit Power.

>>532169196
I submit them all the time.

>>532382117
igorNL...I kneel...

>>532382101
not every hero has to go 21/2/7 retardbro

>>532382790
No reason to play McGinnis then in this game since everyone else can do different builds to slap pubs with.

>>532381717
i've given hero ideas and item ideas before and there's three reactions:
"that's retarded"
"the devs aren't that sovlful"
"put it on the forums xDDD"
i'm not about to write this shit again for like the third time, it's not even hard, fuck off. like I said instead of doing symmetra which is a 10 year old kit (older than that in actuality) they should be innovating but retards like you bail them out

>>532382924
>overwatch, I play overwatch and come from overwatch

you could have just said that to begin with

>>532383172
>retard is too peabrained to figure out that doorman not having in real time portals means he's just symmetra
i should've just said underlord

>>532383271
i've never played overwatch in my life and I do not care that some new hero has an overwatch ability, it means nothing to me

>>532383449
that's from dota you fucking donkey

>>532381429
both overwatch and rivals have wakanda in them

>>532383530
you were just whining that doorman's base teleport ability was more like overwatch than dota. it's a different game, it's not gonna be 1:1. or they could just slap it on an ult if you're that obsessed with dr strange teleport meme shit

>>532383658
oh you ARE retarded sorry i didn't mean to be mean to the mentally handicapped

>>532383734
let me guess...you're some subhuman euro

>>532169196

Ja McGinnis is pretty shit amirite guys

>>532386447
How is Abrams so good suddenly? Is it yet another braindead tank build which warrantd this?

>>532386447
wall is still the most broken ability in the game, the playerbase is just full of awful players who don't know how to abuse it properly

>>532381582
Just a few more days, trust the plan

>>532386694
melee got nerfed enough that people dropped the shitty melee trash and started building an actually good build (melee has been shit for months)

>>532387363
I've tried multiple builds on him, gun is the most fun by far, but I feel like spirit/tank should be the most effective.

>hp per boon reduced by 30% across the board
>each green item now also gives a flat amount of hp
unkillable 10 orange item gun niggas WILL be crying

>>532386721
No, the issue is teammates either don't capitalize on it or they're so shit they still somehow lose even with 2-3 enemies split off from the rest of their team with literally nowhere to go. I'd wall off 2 people, and somehow we lost 2 teammates and the enemies got away anyway. And this shit happens A LOT in the normie (retarded sub-Emissary) ranks. So a hero that can't just do it all themselves is basically dogshit outside of Emissary+ where you can rely on teammates to actually kill the 2 rats you just cornered with the fucking wall without dying WITH said enemies cause their gorilla brains got excited and started spazzing their mouse out everywhere like all the sub-Emissary players do..

>>532386694
Gun nerf and spirit buff is a buff to tanks like Shiv and Abe because they like to fight up close. Most strong abilities in this game require you to be closer than shooting does so the tanks that want to be close get shot less from afar in a spirit meta and get more fights up close where they want them and can mitigate the damage.

>>532387801
Of course, cause gun players want to just insta melt people like their favorite FPS games and hate that the game plays like a MOBA at all.

What's the fucking point of debuff remover against infernus when this nigger can reapply everything a second later

>>532388839
Debuff remover is to force things like Bebop to fuck off and resort to jihad tactics to get any value out of his bombs and to purge Curses/Silences/Roots.

>>532388839
The active removal + the passive reduction. Passively reducing the duration of his DoT, napalm and the Toxic Bullets he assuredly has is worth it alone without the active. Cuts the damage a decent amount.

>>532356347
No she just actually takes skill now and you need to use her cat form to ambush people instead of just farming boxes like a tard.

ooga booga me ratpush and maybe melt Midboss a bit.

>>532388323
Thats comms issue. Signal ''im going in'' and explain to your team that it means they should follow whatever you're doing before the teamfight time begins. Noone is going to follow your starts unless you call them

>>532390005
This shit happens during teamfights we're already engaged in anon.

>>532389338
>you need to use her cat form to ambush people instead of just farming boxes like a tard
Too bad my teammates didn't get the memo. I'm still seeing all melee retards hoping they can afk farm and snowball like a month ago. But then I see very few Calicos in general

>>532378387
>splitpusher
Why not just play Ivy at that point? She's even better at ratting than McGinnis since Ivy can just fly away from anything not named Lash or Bebop while having a huge fire rate steroid to clear structures and troopers with.

niggas out here talking about meta and balance changes
nigga there will be no deadlock a week from now

>>532388323
>my broken ability is weak because teammates are stupid!

not how MOBA or team games work

>>532389675
Yeah pretty much, you just exist to stop split pushes so enemies get choked out by not having any fucking item slots while securing item slots of your own and basically nothing else.

>>532391070
which is insanely powerful for a MOBA, but mcginnis players think they're playing the heavy from TF2

>>532390109
Which is why you should explain yourself BEFORE going in. Assuming people are macro-sensitive or can understand your intentions without an explicit explanation is a tactical mistake. Noone will follow you until you prove to be the biggest man in the room.

>>532390632
Ratginnis is a meme and a free food unless entire enemy team is 150% clueless

>>532391434
It's powerful until you remember what kind of retards we all often get paired with that don't capitalize on it at all or get rolled so hard in the first 15 minutes you can't deny the walkers/base guardians from getting pushed anyway. But I suppose at that point it wouldn't have matter what one picks, you'd just lose anyway.

>>532353597
>MOBA players stuck to League and Dota
everyone I know that plays league aside from one autistic millionaire has quit league. the rest are on deadlock.

>>532391878
So the majority of sub-Emissary pub games then. Not like there's much else to do with McGinnis at this point.
>Want heals/saves? Just play Viscous. It gets more value in the average pub. Emissary+ benefits massively from Medicinal Specter but sub-Emissary beaners just walk out of the zone constantly as if they're allergic to the fucking thing during a push
>Want zone control? Unironically just go Spirit Ivy w/ Vacuum Grenade, it's still better than trying to make McGinnis' turrets actually do anything-- especially before 9-10 items cause they just get insta melted cause more often than not your team isn't enough of a threat to warrant the enemy ignoring them-- and even when they do, they fucking tickle people till late game
>Her ult is worthless 90% of the time unless you have a Lash/Mo and Krill/Dynamo on your team to force people into it or landed THE perfect wall that doesn't have even the tiniest gap in it to escape through-- which is hit or miss with how ass the map layout can be sometimes and when you have to fucking wing it on wall placement in weird corners of the map that these retarded teams keep trying to brawl in.
>her wall is her only valid contribution and let's face it, a lot of pub teams are too retarded to capitalize off of it properly


>>532391694
Nigger are you retarded? I said it's a teamfight they are already engaged in, as in one they ALREADY STARTED THEMSELVES. If you can't kill 2-3 cornered rats who you were already targetting before the wall went up, that's your fault, not McGinnis'.

>>532392543
There are over a million people playing LoL right now and there are over 580,000 playing DotA 2. Deadlock is lucky to break 13,000 at peak hours and most of those are eastern Europeans.

>play Hybrid McGinnis
>toss two turrets near me, a 2 and regen literally 2k+ HP in an AOE while boosting fire rate for myself and my turrets
>literally, unironically, unpushable without 3+ people.

>>532393280
>There are over a million people playing LoL right now

basically dead in NA and a zombie esport in korean. deadlock seems like it's icefrog's attempt to make a new MOBA aimed squarely at the NA market

>>532393531
>Aimed at the NA Market
>Caters entirely to russians
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RETARDDDDDDDDD

McGinnis can be fixed pretty easily by removing stocks on turrets. Make the cooldown short enough that, if uncontested, she can have up to three at a time.

>>532393531
Icefrog is failing massively then because basically nobody plays Deadlock and out of the few that do 90% of them are Euros.

>>532393962
But she can already get like 5 out by having charges. What you said is just another turret nerf. When her turrets are already fucking worthless.

Time for your daily slice... of Breadlock!

>>532394227
we're in an experimental closed pre-alpha test version of an unannounced game, and you complain about the player base.

>>532388839
As mentioned, it cuts down on the burn time, and you probably shouldn't be using it in the middle of a fight unless saving yourself a few ticks of burn + healing for 250 means you trade for a kill. Otherwise you should be using it when you are pulling out of a fight to keep the burn from finishing you or putting you so low that you are at risk from chases.

>Infernus buys a singular spirit item
>one
>one item
>take 1.2k+ in spirit damage from afterburn

>>532392854
>I said it's a teamfight they are already engaged
Then turn on your mic and start communicating. If you want to be heard, get a voice.

>>532388839
If you didnt kill him before he gets to apply the burn for the second time its entirely on you

>it's a "your haze is incapable of following up dynamo ult with her 4" episode

change the channel

>Dynamo 1 goes like 10 feet
>Geist gets to chuck her 1 the entire range of the lane with a lower CD

>>532398356
Dynamo stomp distance scales with spirit
by the end of the game it can hit someone from another lane

>>532398356
>Dynamo 1 goes like 10 feet
are we playing the same game, that shit has infinite range even in lane

>>532398694
>that shit has infinite range even in lane
unironically how bad are you

>>532398823
you are almost constantly at 15m range on lane

>>532375836
Bebop is actually a sad character

>Gun takes wind-up time (feels like shit)
>Gun has lag on aim, moves around like you're drunk (feels like shit)
>nerf stamina amount (movement...le bad)
>let's keep the hook in

The design philosophy around hero balance is wack in this game. You VILL play ult-bot hook bebop, and you vill be happy

>>532393531
>NA market
>autistically loves shooters

just lol. Deadlock is 95% DotA, 5% shooter maybe.

>worse at objectives
>worse at pvp
why does spirit need to be so shafted?

Update later today

>>532402486
small update

>Colossus makes you bigger
We should get an item that makes you smaller

>>532398356
>dynamo complaining about stomp distance
You people are delusional.

>>532393962
>McGinnis can be fixed pretty easily by removing stocks on turrets
Truth be told charges are a bad idea in this game. Tell me why infernus should get charges on his dash AND damage amp. Why should Grey Talon get to single handedly dictate the balance of Rapid Recharge, which is shit now. McGinnis can spam turrets and make an entire area just obnoxious to fight in when it should be a supplementary addition to her damage output. Now we look at Ivy and how fucking mediocre Kudzu is in lane. Like you literally need to force all stam out of someone and somehow bait them into a small area (fog rooms) to make any real use of it and even then you're lucky to get more than 60 damage out of it before they just moonwalk away. That spell has like what a 32s CD and it's this mediocre because 'charges bro'. It's horrible in lane for this alone. On top of that she has a shit gun for winning trades. Legitimately your only hope of having an impact in lane as Ivy is rushing HSB + Cold Front and even then you're just doing it worse. Imagine if they just put it on 15s and charges went out the window and they could give her an actually impactful tier bonus instead?

can they just make restorative locket a 3200 item and give it appropriate healing and passive charges over time so it's usable again

>>532398229
>land 4 man blackholes late game
>she's always there to follow up
>no one is dying
>check her items
>she built nothing but ROF and vampiric burst
>lose the game

>lucky shot
>glass cannon
yup, it's time to win the game

>>532358793
move speed,stamina regen, dash/slide distance, etc

>>532405542
would ruin the game very quickly. with the right items, movement autists can already avoid everything with enough skill

>>532405914
you're right

>>532406115
eh the paradoxes abusing hmc were annoying but it wasnt game breaking

Removing the ability for only some heroes to innately HMC was fine, but nerfing HMC so nobody could do it with fleetfart was lame.

>>532383658
I don't think Anon was complaining about it being the same as some Overwatch character but more so being just another rehash instead of something fresh.

>>532406741
let them finish the kit before whining, that's my opinion

>>532393531
so it was aiming for the chinese market yesterday and now it's aiming for NA's? retardkun... come on now son...

>>532398356
>dynatard complaining
Sorry your easy mode hero isn't an autowin one too

fuck off. look at ivy if you want to see a dead hero.

>>532422019
techies
tinker
removal of 4 lanes
the list goes on really

>>532422953
mcginnis is nowhere near as cancerous as techies or tinker
again they gave her turrets and heal new models and added new particle effects for her ult, theres no chance shes getting ability reworked before abominations like shiv

>>532422926
look at fucking grey talon lmao he's the shittiest hero by a country mile it's unreal how bad he is currently

apparently theres a college deadlock tourny. i might join

>>532423341
Yeah but she actually feels unique and we do not want that

>>532423341
in terms of dota no, sure
in terms of deadlock? she's the only character that genuinely can stop an entire lane from being pushed right now

>>532423341
>again they gave her turrets and heal new models and added new particle effects for her ult

why are you talking as if techies and tinker didn't literally had PAID COSMETICS that were rendered useless due to their reworks?

i haven't played this since there were four lanes
how's the game looking now?

>>532425337
worse than ever in both playercount, balance and content
people here have been saying there's a new patch coming this week for like the entire past month so you might want to hold off

>>532422953
Techies deserved it

>>532425337
Totally different from what you played, you might wait for the next patch to not relearn the game twice. Or you can jump in right now and see the big change yourself, whichever you believe to me more fun.
Doubt the patch is going to come out this week, this is copium

>>532426475
>>532422953
Speaking of techies, what are they THINKING going remotely close to techies design territory again with Trapper?

>ginnis defenders are the same wastes of space that defend old techies and tinker

>so guys which concept from our previous games didn't we port yet?

Eyy you cunts, how about you join the game instead of complaining about it? I want to find a match quicker.

>>532426839
Techies on Dota 2 release was a great hero. Like Pudge, he was one of the most picked heroes despite not being considered the best. Then they changed his aghs. Once they added that fucking sign it completely changed the identity of the hero into a base staller and he was balanced and reworked and ruined around it. This is forgotten history, and most people missed the golden age of DotA/ early Dota 2 Techies.

>>532432732
I didn't touch Dota after they added Techies 1.0, is there actually any counterplay to techies sign or do you just rely on fatigue and boredom to end the game?

Hey guys and gals...? Nerdslayer here, Im making preparations for a new death of a game documentary about Deadlock. And while its in "alpha" and not even out yet I suspect its not going to last very long, so I thought Im gonna start already and ask people who bothered to play it what they think. Im going to insert a segment with your answers to the following questions
>What got you into this game?
>Why do you think the game is dying?
>When did it start?
>Do you still have any hope left?

>>532439496
Even if you weren't roleplaying I'd have no reason to help out a leech content "creator".

Put this nugget creature in the video or I will CRY
>It was a free game with some buzz and 6 player teams (so 6 of us could play together) so it was like a 'why not try it out even if I don't like mobas'
>I don't really know. If it was a more slow and steady drop then I'd get it but the decline was sharp. It's got its hooks into me and others. It's hard to reconcile the qualities and 'it factor' that it has with the very quick player drop-off, meanwhile both shooters and mobas remain very popular.
>I think people tried the game and bounced off it, much like the steamcharts show. It failed to hook them for whatever reason, despite getting them to try it to begin with which is really the hard part
>I have hope but given the polar opposites of how I feel about it and how most people feel about it, it's very uncertain. Even if they polished it up and released it, it's very possible people just don't get it. It's like it massively appeals to a very small audience. It's not even like it's just people who like both 3rd person shooters AND mobas, since I'm not part of that group.
