oh right that other thing i really hate
Metal Skin
does not actually make you immune to bullets
it makes you immune to bullet damage from bullets
nono

Plating is only for Infernus & Toxic Bullets & similar 'buildup' effects
defo stops haze
and also haze (because screw her apparently)
look its fine
we can take it- oh god mina lmfao
Yeah it blocks Mina
i dunno how it interacts with mina
i mean not that her love bites damage sans procs is that good
because she's both a buildup thingy and an on-hit damage thingy
and every other source of on-hit damage is not stopped by plated
freakish and unnatural
it feels very dumb to have your character go 'bullets don't work on them!' while you kill them with a gun
Per wiki there's a bunch the on-hit blocks, but it's not universal
i love inconsistent ruules
For items, the on-hit protection:
Blocks: richochet, siphon bullets, spirit shredder, spirit rend, backstabber, slowing bullets, toxic bullets, silencer, inhibitor, spiritual overflow, headshot booster, headhunter
Doesn't block: lucky shot*, tesla bullets, capacitor, mercurial magnum, cripping headshot, split shot*, escalating resilience, mystic shot, restorative shot, burst fire
*Deflectable tho
And then AP rounds gives a 50% chance for a shot to ignore it
don't think my build is good (we won) 
it's very funny that Plated used to beat AP rounds
And lucky shot, tesla bullets, capacitor, and mercurial magnum are the items that do direct on-hit damage but aren't blocked
do not the Express Shot or Sharpshooter but otherwise yeah.
i'm assuming that this was in the roguelite mode
yeaa, you still shouldn't take Express or Sharpshooter on Haze in Brawl >.>
I would take Any Spirit Item over them
look if I have to think about this too much I'm going to rip my hair out
fair!
Well we don't know how bad the other two options were, they could've been worse yellow/green items
(You can also get freebies sometimes)
it's hard to get worse than Express on Haze I think >.>
but, yeah, fair.
I just like buildcrafty stuffs >.>
specifically express eats 30% of your magazine
yeah but you're also not going to proc it ever
it procs always now
They've changed it's cooldown to fixed
yeaa
No more cooldown once you stop blarsting
expressbrams is in fact back
I have issues playing Street Brawl because all my heroes in the main mode I've played heavily green/purp so IDK how gun builds work
He's almost as expressive as the Doorman
He is!
he legit just looks like the 
Just found out cult sac is in the street brawl pool XD
YES LOL
I keep going 'ooh could be fun' and then realising all the creeps just disintegrate
everything is in the street brawl pool
trophy collector is also in for some chungus fucking reason
Yeah Deadlock doesn't have cannon/super minions like league
Upgraded Trophy collector sure is something
I took Enhanced Trophy Collector exactly once on Warden
cult sac at least is like oh yeah I can actually turn this on
it was okay
but trophy collector is
i took it for range
yeah Idk how to do this
It was the range
are they trying to just convince people that the item is ass
I'm only a ranked gold league player
If you got enough kills to max out the Upgrade Cultist Sack, then it'd definitely be worth it
i probably am more aware of buildcrafty stuffs than most people because I... make all of my own builds
99 percent increase aoe
i think the problem is that you just get like
it's 5% per
8 kills + assists across an entire game if you're lucky
oh
you'd just hit the 100% cap
yes
make duration and range not scale 'multiplicatively negative' with eachother!
I've seen higher but yeah there's also no guarantee you get it round 1
god forbid you die early at any point
let me get 200% duration
The most useful part of it is honestly the regen
...the out of combat regen?
the souls :v)
When you lose a push but they can't counter it
just back
you can back in Brawl
NEVER Okay sometimes
yep!
i have unfortunately been forced to use the regen from forty dudes a couple times
which is
so fucking funny
gah
like it's just so pathetic now
fortitude is so baaad
it's really bad
idk if it's quite the worst item in the game but like it's up there
I was running around with 500 out of 2000 hp and going 'huh I swear I would've been full like five seconds ago...'
wrong stupid that was three patches ago
Fortitude in street brawl is an unappealing choice. It's fine in normal play.
i can't immediately think of anything worse than it though
they hit it with the rubber mallet so many times that I think they might have finally succeeded in making it not good
but ymmv
I definitely miss being able to have perma-uptime roaming around and butt-slamming people, but I also recognise it was perhaps a Little Distorting
Huh, fortitude regen has a longer timer than normal out of combat regen, didn't know that
The latest heal troopers do kind of make it less relevant, since you can just go hit two lane waves and get most of your hp back, but Fortitude does support roaming around more without needing to visit lanes or base
Oh but it from not taking damage
yeah, it's a bit different, since you can be dealing damage
Which means pushing waves doesn't stop it unless you get aggro
slowing bullets might be worse than Fortitude maybe???
cheat death is playable i think

I've seen serious arguments for it on doorman and for a while it was +100% mental damage on vic
I still sometimes get slowing bullets if I know my gun is gonna be dogwater anyway.
especially when people didn't know about stuff like crippling headshot
Depends on the target though.
doorman is based, it's splitgate but not by devs that are killing their game
oof
Ah yeah I guess doorman has great peel so can get away in that 5s
so victor would just have 2349028490248 hp, die the first time, cheat death, heal a fuckton cause your team was too stupid to kite, get downed a second time with premium ults, then rez
surely the play pattern ever
yeah when he actually has the money for cheat death, he has basically infinite range on doors and basically 100% uptime on them
the 'proper' answers I've seen to Victor are like
Vindicta (she does damage and he can't sit next to her)
and Focus Lens
if you have the presence of mind to put a door down somewhere you probably have a completely uninteractable out to any chase
unless they really get your ass with chain silence/orchid/curse
Oh infinite rounds isn't just what it says on the tin, it's also got a better AP rounds effect, okay
and you get the pleasant feeling of slamming the door in someones face
yes
"nuh uhhhhhhhhh"
several? of the legendary items are 'like x but better'
And also +200% bullet velocity
for example, the ghost shot thing is actually secretly Inhibitor
if you're like that you can also whip 180 and cart people through the door as they're chasing you
bing bong fuck ya life
(they made Inhibitor yellow and didn't tell anyone)
it's yellow for an amazing reason
I got Omnicharge Signet on McGinnis when I already had the other two +charge items and it was silly
heh
which is also what the doctors told my parents when i caught jaundice as a one year old
No one needs +7 charges, +6 is fine
you can get more than 8 slots in brawl
do bonii not count as items for slots
since it's the topic of the moment, here's a compliation of all but 6 of the brawl-unique items
bonii count for item slots unless your item slots are full
in which case they give you
an extra slot
it's really weird
hysterical
thank you boners
who doesn't love boners, honestly?
you can then sell the boner
and replace it with another item
it's literally just an extra slot it's kinda messed up
Tech that's only unlocked round 4 I guess
omnicharge feels like its op as shit
omnicharge seems fine???
most of these feel op as shit tho
It was really good on McGinnis, but alas we still lost
it's weird but I don't know that it's actually better than
staring at Wings
pans over to Piano
Piano is so funny
omnicharge on paige sword, go
haha holy shit that says 2s stun
what the helly
in a game mode where you physically cannot get debuff resist most of the time
I saw a streamer playing Lash get piano'd and it was hilarious
lmfao
i mean, +4 charges is a lot of them, which lets you do some crazy shit
even +2 on certain non-charges is really good
I need viper with the slippers
have you seen Enhanced Knockdown?
point and click 1.25 second stun
(plus the normal Knockdown 'does not tick down until you hit the ground' thing)
...also Piano removes all your stamina, I think???
idk I haven't hit it or seen it much
Also it's AOE
but the
bu
but she doesnt
but s
but she doesnt have FEET
She do though
didn't stop the mermaid from that one disney movie
The Little Mermaid??
is that what it's called?
Yeah it's based on a Hans Christen Andersen story/fairy tale
oh the guy from FGO? sick
unfortunately false
Vyper is actually just a risk of rain 2 lemurian
BTW the original story has a stupid ending
Hate them big bassards
It's so stupid I feel compelled to mention that fact whenever the story comes up
isn't it she can't speak and the guy can't understand her so she cries and dies or something?
it just now occurred to me that the original risk of rain had an incredibly blatant aghs scepter reference in it
and now hopoo himself is working on a valve moba
that's incredibly funny
actually holy shit is that why you can't fucking attack and move in ror1
remember, deadlock has [3] topless ladies now
Her love rejects her yes, then she dies of sorrow and dissolves into sea foam, but then gets saved by angels and told she can enter heaven if the little boys and girls of the world are good and obey parents wishes
damn, guess she didn't go to heaven then
all because little timmy stole a cookie from the cookie jar 
All according to plan 😈
Aghs for Deadlock would be pretty funny too, considering what already exists as ults
I mean Mina is the top so I would say at minimum 4
but idk she could probably land a top if she wants
we need chernobog but in deadlock
just a dude that goes into and comes out of walls
and can like, re-appear from another wall like a scooby doo movie monster
Oh LoL has one of those too (Kayn/Rhaast)
ye
I got Kayn m7 day one and after that I didn't do shadow or rhast transform for like 2 weeks cause people didn't know how to fight him yet
had to make it easier for the people
Kinda hard with 3D environments though
So I'm satisfied with tunnels and portal-doors existing
is scepter the one that's ult only
I don't dote personally
They should add John Freeman
vyper, silver, ivy...
either scepter or shard could be pretty cool
Agh's scepter used to be Ult only afaik
but I would broadly prefer non ult-related stuff for personal reasons
new eshift funcitonality
go through walls
Oh right I forgot it's not just an ult upgrade, it varies
dota aghs was soo good they made a sequel apparently???
Ahh I found the source of the confusion. Agh's Scepter in Dota 1 is always an ult ability, Agh's Shard/Scepter/Blessing in Dota 2 varies per hero
i genuinely do not know off handedly what makes shard and scepter different beyond muni
maybe just philosophical differences in "what is too big of a change for a shard"
aghs used to be ult only in dota 2 too
fairly confident
would've been uhhh
...7 years ago?
It looks like Shard and Scepter have different ability upgrades
Some heroes get bonuses to multiple abilities, some get new abilities entirely
Amusingly, Clockwerk has one ability that's granted by shard and upgraded by scepter (jeptack), and one ability that's granted by scepter and upgraded by shard (overclocking) Belay that I just didn't know how Overclocking works
shard is a smaller upgrade
sceptre is a bigger upgrade and takes a slot
blessing is sceptre but doesnt take a slot
that's correct. It originally was just scepter and upgrading your ult, but over the years shard was introduced and scepter upgrades changed. Depending on the character shard may be way more impactful than scepter.
my rank decayed to where I can't play supports, was about to tear my hair out playing paige. Next game had to go victor
and a goated ivy teammate
As in if you play support you feel like you can't trust your lane partner?
Or the team in general, just need to play carries for a bit until teammates get better.
Down in the low ranks, you can support your little heart out but you can't trust your team to not lose the game for you. It's nice when they don't but if you aren't carrying them yourself then your odds of one of them doing it for you aren't great.
I guess skill shown depends a bit on rank, mine is dogshit lmao, but I know Mina is considered to be a pretty high skill cap character
oh I don't doubt she's high skill cap
she has double dash
a float
and some other stuff I'm not remembering
The float is super cheesy if your movement tech is real good.
it's okay I played PVP Tarkov, I can deal with it
Buy Superior Stamina and now you actually just never touch the ground
ok booted deadlock up again
mercurial magnum on wraith is as funny as it had been last time i played
granted, last time i played it was a different item that grants the imbued skill cause instant reload
yeah haha
qsr is so good
I don't like playing gun without either qsr or active reload
I wonder which other Patrons there are
Also I love how Deadlock is like, possibly the most complete game ever despite being a “beta” / playtest
Well, that was a game. Team had 3 deaths
Killstreaks across the whole top for most of it
Was kinda surreal
I hadn't tried him yet, but he looked pretty straightforward
It's my lack of skill too but part of it is that he needs to hit melee to increase his health and stay alive.
Gotta practice your quick melee mind games
Like, simple mechanic I'm having trouble pulling off in games yeah
Also the 2-1-3-1
Charge slam blasted slam. If you're in people's heads you can weave a light melee or two in there, but they can parry so you gotta bait the parry out before you start mercilessly bonking them
The real tip: when you start a new game and get to lane, walk at them but DON'T MELEE. What you do is observe what their conditioning is regarding parries.
See if they do it early or try to wait it out, or if you can fake them into it. Then you use this to mindgame them all during lane
Billy, Drifter, Abrams.. who else just activates peoples 'ohgodmelee' instincts, the walk 'em down works so often
Calico
Ohh, yeah yeah. I don't calico enough.. never sure what to do when the full combo gets tanked
You do your combo and then leave pretty much
And once folks start taking that and the double-up i get lost

I think the new patron designs are sick, but I admit I’ll really miss the sphere guys. It was a really unique look
Yeah
Keep some facets of the jar boys in the new design would have been neat
But I reckon the guardians and walkers will have their bespoke patrons look soon enough
I love brawl
means if I get griefing teammates who do it cause they're bad I don't have to be stuck with them for 40 min cause enemy team is too lazy to end
yeah brawl is great
I'd wish they'd remove the option traps tho
but tbf I think they exist cause they aren't actually option traps and more just good for hyper specific situations that require specific sets of characters
like that one item that gives you regen out of combat but takes like 12-14 seconds
or trophy collector
the game keeps trying to give me veilwalker lol
yeah it probably needs its own adjusted item set
Idk
but I think they wanted to get a quick play mode out there
so its a little undercooked
still fun
I feel like it probably shouldn't be adjusted because it gives better item experience for the maingame, but I also know they did it anyways by doing the weird brawl-only items
best part is it probably helps people learn how to approach teamfight situations better
won't save some people like the mina I just saw who kept trying to 1v4 and blow her escapes to engage
does suck tho cause like, if you get any of the new people with mega harass they can really dumpster the lane before you get much of a chance
But Idek what to do against that in normal lanes tbf
the cover in lane is pretty darn good. you can usually survive a bad lane for quite a while by playing defensive, using cover, and buying extra regen
veilwalker's okay
there are veils around, just a few less
Veilwalker also has good stats
its a lot worse than regular mode since one of the big benefits is for roaming
Definitely not as bad as trophy collector
Main thing for streetbrawl i want adjusted is the ults, shouldn't get them back every round
Trophy is like 16% ability range with some health and movement if your in a very lethal game. It's also green investment which sometimes you need desperatly
Like it's not usually the best option, but I think for some characters it is useful
could also make death timers 1 min minimum instead of 20 seconds
supports pokers above all other types of characters because deaths mean relatively nothing
According to the game's directory, it still is.
good news I like brawl
bad news
I'm getting mmrd
and either fighting stacks
or being expected to play with people who don't wanna combo abilities
Does Deadlock have headshots?
yes, it also has items that improve headshots or proc off of them
it has vindicta
Infernus also gets his afterburn faster off of headshots
Vindicta has a sniper ult with multiple charges and doesnt require headshots
Yes, but I can't headshot for shit. But I've never aimed with mouse and keyboard, so I might be better.
OH!
You don't need to hit headshots to do well. I do just fine and mostly hit body shots unless someone is stunned
Also some characters have much bigger heads than others. Like Seven has a real wide head, mo and krills heads both count and Mo's is pretty big
I see.
dynamo can counter splitgate's ult with his own?
where's the report button?
nvm found it
hopefully devs mute chat abuse but we'll see
Idk why the devs think I have any clue how good items are
I just know trophy collector is bad
and that other item that gives you regen out of combat but takes like 12 seconds or w/e
Fortitude is not that bad, you can use it so that you can use time you need to heal farming instead of in base.

rip me
another game against a team that does ult combos
maybe one day I'll get randos that do it
oof mmr really not liking me right now
that or street brawl doesn't have any
2 people on my team admitted to not playing in ages
then the mcginnis decided to w key and punch more than I was and I was afk W-ing
Full of beer and cigarettes you mean :v
Beer and whimsy are not mutually exclusive fillings
I need a build that makes other players d/c
how do you do punch build?
I wish I had good item info
people seem to keep giving various answers when I look it up 
ahh my mmr is finally adjusted
getting more people being toxic in chat again
was wondering where it went
The thing is, if you go off vibes alone you’re probably decently correct
It’s sent to like, every player
And they can compare win rates and another stats internally
Players are horrifically good at telling if something is unbalanced, but horrifically bad at telling why
they're not even good at the first thing
they're not
there's a couple of heroes that prob would get buffed or nerfed if players knew what was unbalanced
It's really funny when I was getting these in my first 5-10 hours and being like "I didn't even know that item existed"
The other survey question is worth mentioning: "how fun is it to play against X" which is just a vibe check. And if you're a responsible voter without strong opinion either way just pick 3, or skip if you really have no stance on the thing due to not knowing enough
I skip for the most part
the devs are absolutely horrible at onboarding insofar as wtf items are
I still have 0 clue what 99% of items do
all I know is it's green, purple, or orange
I can guess whether or not an item will be useful but most feel like a choice to trap new players when raw stats are just nice
I think the only hero i really downvote is Gray Talon
considering he makes vindicta virtually pointless yeah
why would you play vindicta if you have someone that does what she does, better
of course the answer will always be "cause vindicta is cooler"
I can't really relate to that, I guess. Unhelpful to say that the items make sense after having already learned what they do.
my guess is I'm just treating it like most mobas
IDK what Talon's 1-3 do, I just know bow and bird
and deadlock doesn't do things like mana or energy and has the aim stuff but the aim stuff feels intentionally obfuscated because it would feel weird if they did armor and headshot multipliers and recoil and yadayadayada
there's also the active item counterbuy which makes heroes feel scope crept which I feel is probably intentional but comes across really badly
Okay 1 and 2 are also bow
It's not armor but there's precedent for characters having different base stats (pocket has -15% spirit resist, seven takes less headshot damage multiplier).
Active items are super good but
- you (or your team) have to know to buy them
- you have to know when to use them
- cooldowns are long :(
So they offer a way to counter certain heroes or situations but not 100% of the time. Curse beats anyone, but only for about 5 seconds and if you can't kill them in that time, well... or worse, they have and know how to use Counterspell which adds another layer of complexity because you have to bait their counterspell before using curse, etc
I’m pretty sure I read that from some game devs
yeah but they do absolutely dumpster certain ults for virtually little cost
I can’t remember it, but like
Knockdown makes lots of enemies very sad (vindicta, Talon, seven, bebop, lash, the list goes on) but if those players are smart then they buy Debuff Remover which counters the knockdown
There IS back and forth counterplay but you won't always see it because people can be pretty bad and unaware in this game
Something about complaining about balance between two functionally identical guns because the audio design was just too different and it resulted in different win rates
Which the players didn’t know was because of audio design
Devs made the audio punchier iirc and it fixed the issue
depends on the game
most fps games yeah no difference
but if you said tarkov I would be like "no the devs are wrong here"
but that's cause tarkov audio is super specific and kinda bs
Like if you're big crazy ult build Seven and don't want to get entirely stuffed by a 3200 cost item, you need to buy the items that make it so you don't get stuffed (debuff remover, unstoppable)
But then maybe the other team buys TWO knockdowns and staggered them to outplay your counter
yeah I think I'm just frustrated cause like
league or smite
heroes with longer ults usually have some form of CC on another ability so they get to actually use their ult
and in deadlock, usually if a character has an ult that's longer, Haze, Seven, etc, they have little hard CC ontop of being able to be countered by a cheap item buy
meanwhile other chars like Paige has hard cc, a knockup on her ult, and it's a fire and forget ult and it's like "rip me for trying to exist in lane"
Haze at least isn't like
Kallari Paragon bad
because Haze at least you can just completely ignore her god awful ult and just do dagger + punch + shoot
just feels weird cause it's like, lemme replace the ult with anything more useful, hell a steroid would be nice
I don't know league or smite, my familiarity is in dota. But I don't think i share many of these opinions because I see them used differently than I think you expect them to be used
how so?
The only way I've had success with haze ult recently is purely as a defensive tool because using it offensive means 2 enemies can stand close together and suddenly the dmg output gets reduced
early when I played deadlock her ult felt fine but that was still people just running away from it
Also TBF, Knockdown's delay means if they're doing it on reaction to your ult you get your 2 secs of ult that way
Instead of having a 2 sec CC button
Haze ult is actually worse vs multiple enemies iirc, so I see it get used as a hyper gank tool. Cloak, run up on someone unsuspecting, dagger, ult, they die without chance to retaliate
see I use it
run up on someone
dagger
ult
they suddenly smash w/e escape they have
and freely get away cause I don't get to stick ontop of them
because dagger stun is canceled as soon as you deal more damage to them
so
Ah you mean like warp stone or w/e?
maybe, does it actually stick to them specifically or is it an aim item?
cause aim item means it's probably counterpick choice but feels gross with the exception it's at least cheap
Warp stone is an aimed teleport, the other green teleport item is hero-targeted
I don't have much specific to say to help with that.
- pick more vulnerable targets
- buy a silence tool like focus lens or silence wave, or even slowing hex if they're using movement tools/ spells to escape
yeah that's kinda my exact problem
Or if you yourself have warp stone you can use it mid ult to reposition and "chase" them
other chars don't have to do that because their ult is just dumbfire
older chars usually don't bother me as much but I'm seeing the usual scope-creep trend with newer heroes
like gray talon atleast has to stand in place while ulting
it's also annoying cause like
other microisms I'm just like "wow this is dumb"
like why can't I use certain abilities to just ignore walls and go through them
like sure I get it design wise but it feels clunky
honestly the active item choice is fine tho
does annoy me I have to be super granular about it and there's no central resource hub about these sorts of things
"this char has an escape, if you need to chase, consider buying these items"
but tbf I also get it cause game isn't out yet
and they might suddenly decide air dashing shouldn't exist or w/e
granted still need to figure out how non-active items work
and why I would take one and what it does
There could certainly be better readability on a lot of things. I think in terms of "this char has an escape, if you need to chase, consider buying these items" that's more just learning curve though: you get your ankles broken by something you didn't expect so you go figure out what punishes that thing and now you're better at the game
Sure....if it's obvious why you got your ankles broken
like if you get hit by an ability and you have an dodge, that should be plainly obvious
items aren't tho
well, I guess it is if you like
replay the situation
look at every item in the game
then decide an item might work, and somehow test it yourself (I don't think it's possible by yourself?) or go ask about it
that might just be what I'm missing
"Go figure out" does include just asking other people for advice though. Other people have had to learn the same things and you can talk to people or go watch videos or search discord channel history and do some sleuthing
You don't need to literally go memorize every item function and figure out how to anticipate everything
maybe not but it def feels like it, but again I'm comparing to like, league and smite where I had to do barely any research on anything past just standard build stuff, or jg pathing for jg
You can do self testing in the sandbox, depending on what you're testing it might be a bit clunky but it does work
also I know the visual clutter is rly bad in teamfights which is unfortunate
took me like 20+ games recently to figure out what alchemic flask does
cause I thought it was an ability that kept hitting me
It's better than marvel rivals by leagues
def
I think it's fairly good overall
The clutter
Cuz everything is fairly distinct once you know what to associate it with
Are you color blind?
this game makes me feel like it but I don't think so
this does remind me I need to lookup movement guides and quit walking everywhere
I feel like there's like kbd tech in this game but I'm not using it
Well probably go figure that out at least. But I mean just like associating things over time. Like now you know what alchemist fire looks like and does, so you can recognize how to play around it
what's the vine thing that looks like alchemist flask?
There is and you're almost certainly not using it if you're still having these kinds of issues
I see it occasionally and I can't tell if it's a geist ability
Probably Ivy's Kudzu Bomb (1 ability). Geist's 1 also has a greenish lingering circle if it's max rank
wait only when it's max rank?
If it's Geist, yes. If it's not max rank then it only explodes, if it is max rank then it explodes and leaves a DOT circle for a while
Ahh
also does Gray Talon have a bird non-ult ability?
I think it's paige usually but I feel like he does
Talon does not. His spells are
- single big arrow
- trap snare circle that disables you
- big jump, hover, multi arrow fan
- guided owl ICBM that gives +5 spirit power each time it kills someone
he has a trap snare wut
Paige's 1 throws a dragon which sprays a big rectangle of fire DOT
oh it's a dragon? I thought it was a birb
I recommend going into the sandbox and just testing out each character, at least so you have a basic idea of what their spells do. You don't gotta memorize the details of each level but knowing the general idea just makes you aware of what you might be up against.
I don't expect you to go look at viscous and intuit the ridiculous Goovement Tech you can do with puddle punch, but just knowing it's a disjointed melee attack + push means you'll be less blindsided by that threat later
why is it disjointed? 😭
I'm trying to quit playing tarkov because I want to deal with less backend jank, not the same amount
Cuz this is a valve game, with dota style balance not league/ smite style balance. They play by Syndrome rules: if everything is OP and ridiculous, then nothing is OP and ridiculous
I would like that if all chars were actually OP
inb4 I find out vindicta is like, disabled
It's not a perfect arrangement but the idea is there
and not that she's just so awful no one plays her in my recent 40 or so games
IDK, you might just be surrounded by other matchmaking players that don't know how to use her well
you know I haven't seen calico either hmm
Quite literally a skill issue
I mean yes, my mmr is adjusted back to where it was and starting to get people toxic in chat again
I would have suspected the newbie mmr would have had someone playing vindicta though
If the new players play vindicta, you can usually see them walking around barefoot and dying without getting anything done
I wish I had bans
I want them to add bans
I need more variety
oop wait
one of my early matches had vindicta
game updated again, time to go next
I'm 52 matches behind
I'ma play vindicta
only issue if they add bans
Idk if I'd want to ban bebop, paige, or pocket
probably bebop or paige
I haven't run into any hyper sweats on pocket recently thank catgods
I think bans would get funky with how hero queuing works
I need the patch notes I NEED to know if holiday isn't trash anymore
Especially with 6-stacks not worrying about repeats
simply accept that heroes you like are always trash like I do
There's already custom infrastructure for bans they use for tournament stuff i think. I would not be surprised if there was some matchmaking queue that had a ban phase later in development. The current priority queue matchmaking doesn't work well with bans though
inescapable mid tier at best
yeah I suspect the cast just isn't big enough yet
Holiday isn't trash and hasn't been for a while, you still fly around bombing everything
It's also because we aren't playing a finished game
that too lol
so they want to have people playing as many champs as possible
Also remember that unless you're at the top end, your own strength with a character matters more than the character's strength themselves
So you need to ask yourself, are YOU trash with Holliday
(If you do care about tier lists, they have her at mid, not trash)
Tech I play tarkov, of course I'm trash at this game
If you don't know how to air strafe, or don't know the bomb melee trick, you're gonna have a rough time with holiday
just because I go 9/1 and haze doesn't mean I'm good
it means the enemies are just more trash
Actually, is the air strafing like TF2 rocket jump air strafing?
Air strafing is one of those huge game changer personal skills that just makes everything better. All movement tech is like that
Because I'm rubbish at that but I do at least know the theory
Yes it is a source game so same concept
I hate jumping in this game
reverse of movement shooters
you jump you can no longer slide at lvl1
I don't understand what you mean
most movement shooters you can jump and then hold crouch to instantly slide when you contact the ground
in this game at level one if you jump you lose velocity or source units or w/e and can no longer slide upon hitting the ground
Also wow, Haze and Mina really are super popular, it's not just confirmation bias on my part
haze is the carry dream and mina is mina
74% pick rate for Haze, 66% for Mina (Current patch)
Just had a haze that went 29/0 in our last match
You can slide still but I think you're doing it wrong, or have the wrong expectations. Sliding is based on either current movement speed or if you're on a slope
one of two people with kills that game on her team
are you sure cause when I jump it no longer works
I think there's a definition disconnect because what you describe as "slide" isn't clicking for me
slide, when you run for 2 seconds, and then hit crouch, and then your character slides, and you gain inf ammo
Is it called something else?
inf ammo crouch?
With base movement speed on a flat surface:
- hold W
- jump
- hold CTRL
- land
- you shouldn't slide because you don't have enough velocity
That is normal--
yes
that's my issue
in most movement shooters when you land you slide because you maintain velocity through the air
Right so being able to slide is a property of movement speed. You have SPRINT SPEED (more than base speed) when out of combat, so it's possible to start moving fast enough to then slide. When you jump, you're affected by air resistance and LOSE SPEED
I think DL only counts horizontal speed for if you can slide
And it's easy to fall below the threshold while airborne
nah that's paladins
This ain't paladins
Anyway based on this conversation there's just a whole lot of unfamiliarity with the game, the only solution i can offer at this time is telling you to go do your study and practice, watch videos or stuff to improve your fundamentals and just learn what is even in the game
Idk how I got 5
You got 5 by buying Rapid Recharge probably
Idk my game glitched and made me skip an item round 1
my build feels weak outside of spamming 1 cc
ok yeah DL continues the trend of "izen likes to play the casual mode of a given moba way more than the main mode"
What other games have better shooter mobility than this, hwat
Titanfall or like Vanquish maybe
I am uncertain on how casual a casual mode street brawl actually is
league aram, smite arena, dota event modes, hots... aram...
or i guess "arcady modes"
....Tarkov I actually prefer the movement techs, it has worse mobility tho
it's probably me more liking the skeleton of a moba but not the length and logistics of the "proper" mode
Paladins can be fun but it's more hero dependent
SB seems to really reward itemization knowledge, plus the strong characters in it are dominating RN
granted, i've only been playing solo bots
hard to say
I'm def being punished for item knowledge, but on the flipside there's a lot of people who are shit at basic positioning I can kinda make up for it
my main issue is like
almost never having properly balanced teams
something something closed beta pls understand joke writes itself
I get more games with enemies consistently comboing their ults where every time there's a possibility on my team to do it the person who should initiate never does or just never combos
I have not had a single game where a teammate dynamo has ulted for me when I'm playing seven in the past 40 or so games
infact
This is why i had to stop playing Emma Rivals (also rogue is more fun)
I've had the enemy dynamo ult for me more than our own dynamo
Getting no followup on an ult is infuriating
because he baits his team into MY ult
I've got no clue
I think I'm just cursed
it's why I hate trio slop games like apex
cause I would always get some asshole toxic lifeline if I was queuing by myself
I had an easier time as a solo player and getting good picks or just harassing than I did queuing trios cause I didn't wanna deal with the non-stop nonsense I ran into
even if every once in awhile I ran into a streamer who wanted me to play with them
but tbf in apex I also like
wasn't trying super hard to w key like the streamers did
cause they just grind daily so I would be a little slower on looting even though I was better at actually playing
and then eventually apex movement techs happened, and they made the game terrible
The people that do all the Apex 'techs' are just speedrunning carpal tunnel
I can't blame them
I blame people wiggling at Deathboxes
Makes them look like a scared puppy
And like 0% harder to shoot
like, not for nothing but I've now seen streamers actually bleed from the stitching of their mousepad because they stream all the time and don't want to wear a gaming sleeve.
and I was like "huh, I guess streamers really don't wanna work normal jobs" and I get it
This is why i'm saying everyone could chill like 10%
I mean for me to be able to like, actually exist proper with these people
I would legit need them to all get clinical depression cause that's what I have and there's 0 chance I can compare between uncurable depression and other health issues, being as ugly as I am, while also working a 9-5
not happening lmao
yes, unless Doorman has Hotel Guest 2, in which case no because Doorman becomes Unstoppable.
I still want to counter Dynamo Ult with Doorman Ult sometime, but I don't play Doorman...
Should, he's delightful, and now his 'on fire' portrait can further make your enemies go mad
Grinch having an evil plan lookin ass
doorman hittin the 
anyone have like, caffeine pills they can spare
I'm worried I won't be able to hit the goal by 22 hours from now
(sesamedi on the hellsite)
considering taking off work tomorrow to farm more votes
Don’t burn yourself out on game just for vote farming
Or you won’t be able to enjoy the character when they do come out
Yangyexin on hellsite
I am 100% buying into Moonshine propaganda
I am 4 games in and I like beating people over the head with Billy.
I sorta know what I'm doing but I am still falling on the mechanical knowledge gap
His blitzed ability?
Billy's 3 applies the Blasted effect to him and makes him a nasty brawler.
It's pretty funny billy never drinks just smashes it against his head
...
Is that a ship name?
it's an alcohol
I remembered mid type.
It's what people are calling celeste x silver
Since every voice line I've seen for Celeste so far is her being incredibly gay
Also Billy is great for learning the mechanics, he needs a lot of different skills to play maximally
he also rewards inting
...only sort of
Billy usually gets a kill in laning phase due to someone attempting to fistfight the goat.
do not fistfight the goat. He's the GOAT.
(at least when he's Blasted)
I love hearing an enemy Billy use blasted in lane
Like I won't know what he's planning to do as I start hearing music from around a corner
Perfectly content to sit at my tower and wait until he's sober
i mean he does genuinely less than nothing if he's not actively close to anyone
i don't think it's physically possible for him to contribute anything to the game past the 20m range band unless you just rangemax ult with trophy collector or something
I am currently working on getting parried less and parrying more
Also reading the above chat you are right in that sliding only cares about your current speed and slope of the ground
It makes a lot more sense in Deadlock how your speed functions where you must sacrifice positioning or stamina to get more movement and speed, or buying items that just give you more base speed and thus let you slide more
the kid named fleetfoot
Learning movement in Deadlock has felt better than near any game I've played
it's been fairly mixed for me but I'll admit I'm too used to like shooters lmao
at some point under 300 hours it just inexplicably makes sense
I feel like a complete lunatic talking about it but it just feels correct
GOD
god
I know I shouldn't
I knooooow I should pick a better hero for the average team comp
bbbbbbbuuuuuuutttttt
my mind's telling me noooo
knife curse timed silence such that it hit the mina right as curse wore off
ooooooh.
ooh that player did not enjoy the video game today.
Yet again, Mina mains forget their Debuff Remover
Speaking of Debuff Remover, you know you're gonna have a rough time when the enemy Vindicta buys that as like her second or third item. It means she knows to be ready for the cheeky Knockdown user and will proceed to live in the sky Assassinating people from orbit.
introducing
second knockdown user
Yeah that's the workaround, unless you both accidentally do it at the same time and she just clears both at once :(
She pulls out the counterspell
also I just saw this
I'm pretty sure you cant parry during ult which is when people want to be using knock down on Mina
this is vindicta we were talking about in the example
I have become the fool.
All that work, and still lose to Rem
I'm still waiting for deadlock techies
uh rem is an actual child
That's an assumption. My bet is that REM is somekind of fey who acts child like
he is doing the ritual because he is lost and doesnt know how to find its family
Yeah because he's not in the otherworld. That just makes me believe more that he's a fey.
Where I'd be if I wasn't clinically depressed
The silverheads have tested that the vote counter breaks when reaching triple digits

yeah once it hits 100 it just displays ...
which should be expected considering how someone did like 200 matches in the last hero vote
If I was a better human being I prob could, I got no excuse lmao
Unfortunately fell asleep + storm + no caffeine + depression + I eat too much food so I literally could only get half done
Billy doesn't actually have principles
he would side with archmother just to be contrary
yeah but I mean the anarchist going to the Law faction
I know it’ll be Rem and Graves next but I am really excited for whenever Silver and Venator are out
They’re the ones I’m voting for
celeste I feel will be a wrench in there
If we all voted split then icefrog would be forced to add them all in, just as Kojima would want.
Unfortunately we are all too bloodthirsty for war of old new york
Celeste I don’t actually know about because like, she’s the least favored for me and my friend group
But like, I do imagine she’ll be popular overall
I havent really heard anyone excited about Celeste or Apollo (except one or two people) on social media or in game
So I saw some leaks
And damn they calling Apollo Yasuo 2
Also apparently he’s really close range, which is cool
It’s all on the forums
I am curious how they’ll do his main gun tbh
Because like
He’s just got the sword
He’s got a free hand but it looks like it’s always behind his back anyway
His gun is apparently literally a sword
But it has extended range and ammo
So he’s deadlock’s true melee I guess
Huh cool
I wonder how he’ll interact with the long range items
Like if they’ll be relative to his range or fixed
anyone happen to have that clip showing the new rem vents? I saw it earlier somewhere and just can't find it again, and discord search is not helping
.
He's not an anarchist, he's a big poser. He's one of the few character that explicitly pay taxes.
this is just not true but also I buy magic carpet every game with the goat
(30 minute game)
oh you mean 20 meters
not 20 minutes
yeah that's fair, but I buy magic carpet every game so I can just get directly on people
i have a thousand hours
I still hate the W thing.
Billy seems like one of the stronger heroes in the game rn
its not weird he is impossible to fight close up and he has wild amounts of sustain from blasted. his 3 other skills are also just really strong and disruptive. nothing weird about that
I want to play some regular games and not just bot games but I worry I'm just gonna suck
matchmaking is decent, you should be fine? people can be toxic though; I often mute chat.
I die way less to Billy than the other melee people
But that might just be skill issue on the Billy part
Billy is definitely not as easy to play as Abrams
Blasted isn't that much Sustain, it's more the fact that he has eight years of movement lockout. And, yeah, he basically just wins up close, and in Deadlock you can pick engagements pretty well generally.
here, more 'why you should buy Magic Carpet on Billy'
Is Lash and Shiv easy to play? They seem easy to play
I would say both of them are on the more difficult side
Shiv is... not easy exactly, but he's strong as long as you can hit your knives
Lash is probably harder but to be honest I recommend everyone learn Lash because of how he encourages learning movement.
shiv if you miss knives vs shiv if you hit knives is coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb
yeahh
Shiv is never weak basically
because if he ever hits you with all the knives you just kinda die.
each consecutive knife adds more damage
Yeah I die more to them than Billy
like even if shiv is 10k behind or whatever, he can still Just Kill You if he hits all the knives.
Abrhams almost never unless Abrhams is actually smart but most aren't
knives are also pretty crucial for rage buildup
I wouldn't describe shiv as a melee hero though
yeah, that's also true. The rage mechanic makes him a bit harder to play.
he's close quarters and encouraged to punch due to the rage mechanic, but not exactly melee
...Lash isn't exactly melee either, but I also hold q on lash a lot actually
people don't pay attention to me and holding q is a good way to get them to pay attention
oh boy I had a lash who heavy melee me after every ground slam and unless the slam killed me I parried and killed him every time
it was great
But consider
Can crouch spam for emotional damage
(Don't do this, Idk if valve is actually doing their job or not for toxicity lmao)
Silver in like 4 hours
Is it confirmed to be silver?
Nothing is confirmed we are all just guessing
I feel like it’s gonna be rem
Its going to be either Silver or Rem first
Isn’t it two heroes at a time or something
he is a coinflip
because once you realize that he only light melees up close, you kind of need to be far away of him to win since he needs someone to punch to get the extra health and ammo
also Im going to be honesy
I see people being fucking scared or not noticing there is a parry button
or see a team with Abrams/billy/viscous and they dont buy rebuttal first item
flog is a free action, you can do other things while doing it
I've already given her like 50 votes or something
In pretty sure that Graves is like last year's of American highschool or something?
Whilst Victor is closer in age to Mina who's graduated from the school graves is currently at iirc?
But I might be mixing up graves and Apollo lore
% chance that Paige is feral over silver
I've mostly seen her get all flirty with Viktor
Yeah she’s kinda into all the hot guys tho lmao
While she doesn't have any conversations with Mirage or Shiv, she has THE HOTS for Mirage
I.. don't see enough people playing Mirage to have heard that lmao
There's only one allied Mirage voice line that betrays her affections
But damn she is sad about killing the him
Paige is the most CompHet through fiction of all characters ever
This is not biased based on Bookbat arts or anything
though do think it's most fun for her to go for all the like Classic Literature Archtype folks
because valve didn't push patchnotes for the update i think this has gone largely unnoticed
Lightning Scroll no longer has the 'does not work on charged abilities' clause
Oh, terror
Was there anyone besides Vin who has a charged ult?
Theyre both high school yeah
nope, it was infamous for just being "vindicta does not get to buy this item"
I don't know what her state is now that Grillmaster got put in the ground but I don't know if I want "I buy rapid recharge and lightning scroll and then have hitscan kd that does 500" to be a play pattern
we'll see though
Conspiracy-theorizing: One of the new 6 has a charged ult and this made them look at the item again
its rem!
Ye
I'm okay with this cause Rem was my 2nd choice
anyone who can, can ya post rem's abilities
Rem was my #4 choice but I can't be mad at such a cute little guy
silver next then, i guess
Venator?
REM
I've been splitting my votes between Venator and Celeste, which I'm sure is bad for actual winning but has been fun nonetheless.
those are such jenny abilities omg
The helpers are interesting
I can confirm the helper gets you the bonus stats from the sinners sacrifice
you can get up to 4 so you might be able to run through enemy jungle and steal most of them
Especially since he can use the vents
matchmaking broke fyi
they're trying to prevent people from voting already 🙄
joke about voter suppression ensues
Oh, stupid little chungus rat won.
2 days a week
THE REMLINGS CAN FARM SINNERS
that's not too infrequent tbf
i like creatures
Ah and pillow toss is the charge ability
pillow toss also lowers cooldown, doesnt it?
its a toss up between pillow or helpers you want to max out first
Not sure if its just because of testing range weirdness, but a trooper with on of rems minions will not die to tower
I suspect one point in pillow early and then helpers
inb4 paige still has the new hero tag
why is billy red tho???
They did
oh so red is just they disabled him
and billy got disabled too cause something else probably broke
oh billy chaining someone with a rem attached maybe broke the game real bad?
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
They took my goat too...disastrous
billy finally cancelled for his twitter posts
Billy being investigated by the FBI
hello hello
Is queue broke rn?
certainly is for me
goes to like, 3 or 5 minutes, didn't check exactly, and throws me out
Also, the helpers will flawlessly do a sinner's machine for you. Plus hitting the jackpot. So. Powerful.
And I can notice that hideout is like, laggy
Paige will def be also feral for Apollo
The forgotten new char haha
I played a fun game as Paige a while back and I just kept a paradox alive and murdering everyone
I even said "Go my Paradox" in chat and they hearted me
I think the most powerful part of this is you can fire and forget it, just shoot a helper there and run off
Which makes it great for stealing enemy team sinners, especially doubles
(You can also target doubles through the skylights)
Yeah! Rem's going to be a bane of any roaming junglers
imagine you're got damn drifter and you're being toyed with by a little imp skittering around the place running through the walls
in game or

ummm

Am I wrong in assuming a lotta Rem votes probably wont wanna play them
Deffo got Cutie'd to the forefront
He's going to be like Doorman
Oh yeah, specially as he's a support
