Oh, ok
I'm Seeker VI
Whatever that means
How do you find out your rank anyway?
@lavish grove
No yeah, I meant more in a broad-skill-level meaning
seven probably memes thi
Thanks
That you're a new player basically
ok !
what the fuck are eternus players doing on rem
spirit support looks like?
Pillow nuke
Like 1500 damage per pillow
pillow nuke
Yah that does seem like normal spirit Rem
i think that build hits for like, 800 or something
Hyperbole'd but still yeah it's big
Torment pulse is good for when you're healing a front liner
Yah, also that extra healing being a step towards healing tempo
Which is really good on rem
its less the pillow nuke and more the heal just becomes like 25%
and boundless and tag along spirit buff stack
also torment pulse hurts while youre attacked
attached*
worth mentioning
while in sleep range of stuff gets wider
so bigger range of t pulse
and if you tag minions
that is functionally 4 instances were you arw "untargetable" while tpulse procs
all the new people
Anyone else getting the Tab overlay stuck on the HUD?
Damn they're doing a fallout new Vegas collab? Choosing the Kings is an odd pick but prob less controversial than choosing NCR or Caesar's Legion
Bunny? If you hit the ball into the teleporter one can come out
Need to hit it in 3 times
And then: bunny
The bunny is also of variable size.
bunny comes in sizes between
-# teeny tiny
and Paige crouching
also silver's... collar piece?? tag?? idk what it'd be called. the moon shape is from a bullet hole.
it's not 'oh, she has a necklace shaped like a moon' it's 'oh, she has a neclace which someone shot a piece out of and now it's vaguely moon-shaped'
she did it
I think I will play main mode today
I need to slug out the mmr anyways
I'm actually more worried it's going to fuck with my brawl queues
lmao
I love deadlock but I hate sucking so hard at it
this is unfortunately also me
valve games are mastercrafts in pvp design and flair but Man
Man.
Free Man
I am thinking, siphon bullets on Silver might be really funny
But I haven't had time to test it
it's fine if you can kill people? I'm not sure why it'd be especially good on her.
%missing health heal i guess?
my general silver build advice is Kinetic Dash + Hollow Point + Hunter's Aura + Stamina Mastery -> Phantom Strike I think.
Restorative Locket is cool too. I think building lots of stamina is good on her though.
she does a large amount of damage with just KD + HP + HA
the name of the game is Do Not Get CC'd
I had an amazing Silver game
ehh? Getting CC'd doesn't matter tooo much, Silver is quite durable. She wants to be able to survive a burst of damage at low health though.
Dispel Magic / Restorative Locket are good for that.
managed to transform in a small room with the entire enemy team
ohno
if you get chain rooted slowed stam reduced and the enemy can just run away you're not really doing anything
the inverse is that happening lmao
this is why you buy eight stamina on silver
yeah
surely you will not regret buying eight stamina and an additional dash on silver
seems reasonable to also buy PS just so you don't have to do anything
just press button
gap closed
PS also good for the 'well they're flying now' problem of Wolf Mode
though it is fun to get the jump arc right
yeaa
I feel a bit weird about Kdash on her, I guess it's another reload but 25% attack speed is.. hard to notice
gun damage and more stamina tho idk
she's durable enough to just go for Ulting Sevens too
( well, if you know you can kill them )
which you usually can because: fuck
that bite hurts
I had a really funny one where I PS'd a lash as I got death slammed and pulled him to the ground as he threw me
silver needs some fire rate to get ult attacks started faster
helps with clearing tooo
tru
everyone can do this
7's ult is low dps
if you have a bullet resist shred you can just shoot him
i guess i do also do it on drifter the only other person i've built it on
get Rended idiot
love playing warden and shooting seven in the head while he ults and killing him
7's ult is strong if 7 hits you with the shreds first. it's also nice for like, area denial & finishing off low health people
but 7's ult isn't more dps than 7 just shooting you with the zappies
I see people building Bullet Resist Shredder on Silver and like
she has one ability to do spirit damage, right?
the kick shot i guess..
tbh i was looking at kdash or battle vest and i went for kdash. stamina & stamina regen is just nice to have.
kick shot and tail swipe
kickshot, bola, pounce & tail swipe
it's okay, I don't recommend it over hunter's aura
or hollow point
I thought Pounce was melee- OH the DoT
yeaa
heck i don't think i recommend bullet resist shredder on silver over rusty barrel >.>
1.9 melee multiplier on pounce feels crazy
I've seen people call it just a mobility option and like what
I think the only reasonable purple item to buy on silver is cold front? she already has slowing hex in her kit and PS is better than KD
yes but what if you bought second slowing hex
truuuuu
oooo you want the 4800 spike so bad ooooooo
I've been vaguely tempted by Transcendent Cooldown
oooo you want an investment bonus
But I'm always tempted by Transcendent Cooldown
What if more buttons got pressed by me
cooldown's fine i think
also warp stone's friend
not ourple
CDR on it tho
I don't know if I've ever seen Scourge ingame
oh yeah those are good yeah
probably not Echo Shard though
really? its very popular in my games
archon players just have aura
I was responding to aim lol
ah!
no dont buy echo shard on silver lmao
yeah fair >.>
My games is all Spirit Burns and Focuses Lens
.>
I keep getting offered spirit burn on silver in brawl and i'm like 'she can't even proc this ever'
five HUNDRED???
I need to get better at doing the backflip
im so bad at big flicky
need to learn to aim with my arm
whenever people are jumping around me I get fucked up
yeaah
it's easy to do in practice modes or whatever but really hard in real matches
it feels less devastating to miss than Shiv Dash at least
call it repositioning, it's tactical
Torment pulse bullet resist shredder
deathy's wife: Billy has a pink background, so I think that means that the team that picked him is more confident in their masculinity.
does the W in lowkey W stand for women?
wait they actually did pick the GIRLS NIGHT team
holy shit
hell yeah
Get supported
this might be the teeny tiniest I've ever seen the bunny.
"if you want to take walkers on rem you can punch them, put helpers on creeps, then when the walker stomps, jump to a creep and continue punching"
Yep. Though you can also just bait the walker stomp, then walk a short distance out of the radius, then go back in. It's got a 6 second cooldown.
Any time anyone starts trying to ambush you, just put 1-2 helpers on a nearby trooper wave and then hide in the troopers to buy a lot of time.
I mostly think it's really funny that you can say "yeah I kill walkers with torment pulse and arctic blast on rem" and this is not ironic
Gee, rem, how come yoshi lets you have TWO boundless spirits?
@vast sandal thread here
cheers
Game is fun. I like Billy quite a bit.
blease yoshi nerf graves in street brawl
The more I learned how to properly move and fight, the more I came to really love playing
Definitely need to not play with a gamepad, though
is yamato unpopular?
im loving yamato but struggling to find anyone else whos a dedicated yamato fan
ngl I did not associate most of the lancer regulars with source people, tho I don't think its shocking
hello
i love yamato
i'm lowkey cheeks at her she's very difficult and i'm not very good at the game but she's so funnnnnn
https://medal.tv/games/deadlock/clips/m3rMWnnWZF7cCP9Ab?invite=cr-MSxDTHMsOTQ2OTM2NQ most frustrating part of yams lol
Watch Untitled by MagicJolyne and millions of other Deadlock videos on Medal. #deadlock
deathy officially crossplaying for valentine's day, that's my fucking streamer
TRUUUUUUE
"I already have the maid costume, so I think I have to go buy the Silver cosplay instead."
sadly my loyalty to yamato is gonna dissolve as soon as apollo is out
im also on the apollo train
I loveeeee duelyst archetype characters
any rapier character is an instant lock for me
i fucking love fencing!!!!!
i’m praying he’s not insanely popular
deadlock really is missing a orb* character huh
lemme chuck balls at people
visc counts if you squint really, really hard
just build ball seven
yeah thats literally seven
geist erasure is crazy
He is the apex of orb gameplay as he has Become the orb
orb and cube
destiny
I am back with another niche video, this time being the enemy's reaction to Abrams not dying in game. Hope you enjoy and make sure to press the like button and subscribe.
Also shoutout to @koshilowell for suggesting this video.
Enjoy!

Is he really built like that?
I forgot Warden is in the game.
Ya
Warden is popular for reasons I haven't understood, but yeah Abrams is fuckin' STURDY (generally)
here's a somewhat silly question; how do pick rates work
like why is it not a % out of 100%
I guess because you can have multiple people in your picks?
I haven't seen anyone play him and this video is the first time I've seen him in a bit.
I had like a five game streak of Server Admin Abrams, but maybe the recent nerf hit hard 'cause I see much less of him
Okay just saw Ivy grab an ulting Bebop for that real orbital death beam action (watching Night Shift)
but have you considered
ivy grabbing an ulting dynamo
Also terrifying
the other fun one is of course seven ult
Before the adjustments that used to be sinister
Ult Build Seven falling off is not missed
I have picked her up lately
having a good time
she fills the tanky role I like
tanky initator
I like her more than the other intiators 'cause they don't usually have an 800 damage death laser on 1
Power Slash is so satisfying to land
maybe the most 1v6 type character i've felt
also i talk in here too much, wuh
I think you're fine
I just need to escape my friend calling the movement 'shit' because it's gated by stamina ( and he refuses to practice anything ever)
There's even a pile of 0-stamina movement tech
having rough bunch of brawls ;-;
It's hard to initiate then die and look around to see vindicta is hiding behind four walls
- Added hero banning to Standard Mode and Street Brawl. You can now select one hero in your roster screen (using middle click) to tell the matchmaker that you prefer to avoid that hero. When the game starts, it will tell you which heroes were banned. We are doing just 2 total bans for now. This...
Balance patch, kinda chunky
I like the Graves and Silver changes
Silver changes are probably correct even though am vaguely sad about it. Shifting some power out of Slamfire and into her base gun is probably good, Werewolf is now slightly less terrifying. Does she need to buy Fleetfoot now?
venator tomorrow...
mildly unlikely
only 5 walls like that in the whole world
i mean, probably a bunch more. i guess for specifically those votes, yeah.
SILVER SHOTTY BUFF!!!
shorty buff
That thing is choked up
YOSHI
I OFFER UP MY SERVICE TO YOU
205 APOLLO VOTES
TOMORROW, APOLLO
I DEMAND THAT THIS BE
it sure appears that way
If you have Yamato questions I play her a lot
She has a lot of quirks. But just press every button and they probably die faster than you
As you can see, just press every button and run in a straight line and you win
This is just what warden looks like tbh smh
the spirit nuker player plays the other spirit nuker....
bitch took my skull...
Even Shorter Graves Gun Range is kind of hilarious
also damn T3 Bootkick kinda tough
Werewolf being less of a lowhealth lifesaver is slightly bummer but still heals, just needs more tank investing maybe
a mild mmr
for those who do not know, if you ever, ever lane into sinclair as silver
swap
immediately
because the moment he gets level 6 you're going to be eating your own transformation on cooldown every 12 seconds
just so stupid lmfao
Silver is good against her transformed self though!
As problematic as it may be, at least the Sinclair won't have a big heap of orange items to be as deadly as it could be.
If I'm playing sinclair and I know I'm going to be getting Silver ult, I'd probably build some oranges
Part of playing around sinclairs ult is that you get stuff that's good for enemy ults
Yeah I can see grabbing a few laning oranges that you'll sell later
I think lategame oranges is ??? tho
it's mostly greens which she wants though I think
Sinclair can buy uhhh
Arcane Surge
which is okay in lycan
(and most of the greens she wants are mobility items)
if you were to really play into it, you could go for Crippling Headshot I guess. It's not an item Silver buys, but it's a shred overlap between bullet resist shred and spirit resist shred, and Sinclair gets a much more controlled version of Silver's ult from what I remember.
Bullet Resist Shred is the big thing Silver wants to be buying for damage.
I mean her existence just let me mash my face on the keyboard and then get out because I could press 4
it didn't hurt that she just kept getting pelted with bolts over and over and then when she burnt every cd to close the gap I just immediately hit the reverse card
the difference between a rem who understands the existence of tunnels and one who doesn't is really something
today's DFN was a real before/after moment as far as my understanding of how much econ Rem's existence contributes to the team
Also those pillows hurt once he has spirit items
just for him being selected at the menu he just passively contributes 800 souls on top of him not splitting the wave bounty with others as he's running boxes
Also IDK if I'm crazy or not but it feels like tunnel boxes have a higher chance of having souls
one other character interacts with the mechanic, she's way slower at it and has other priorities, and just gets her ankles broken should she actually try to break boxes in a game with Rem on the other side
he's way faster and doesn't have the risk of accidentally jamming himself somewhere if he wants to fight
max rank 2 is literally just boundless spirit
like it's literally exactly the same as boundless spirit's +spirit and then x% spirit
That too
Yeah max 2 is really good. I love this little bird rat, he's so fun to be a little bastard with.
I find myself not using the tunnels much though. They're very nice when they lead to the right places but I'm running around doing other things all the time
loool
Silver apparently got kicked out of the Baroness which is so fucking funny
Literally kicked out of hell
Universes biggest failgirl
So she's competing with Vyper for that title
I don't think Silver is ever going to get close to Vyper on account of being like, at least competent enough to make enough money to buy alcohol instead of having to steal or self brew it
Gun Graves might go crazy now that they fixed what was apparently some attack speed stuff
I see why they shranked it
strongest support in the game baby
being able to afk hard push lane while also having secure access to a pool of souls that no one else can touch seems like a little much
one of the best heals in the game as well
The way he just like
Enhances The Carry
can be really terrifying
most headshot kills on Rem tho, potent
his gun is easy to head shot with
still slaps
gun has homing, its intended
I prefer mystic shot over headhunter, more damage with the amount of spirit you buy
I should try mystic shot + alchemist fire
probably better to have heroic aura, you have more speed + more pushing power
played vindicta in the game with the smurf rem yesterday and my biggest contribution to the game was just being the mercy taxi
The feeling of dropping into a skirmish with a Drifter ult is so good
Enemies just PANICMODE
also had a Talon/Vindicta so they were just getting sniped from nowhere
Jenny, and the cooler Jenny @ivory reef
Reading books and pushing lanes
lmao
im wondering, with the buff, on its tier 3 update if silver boot kick spirit damage is worth building towards in any capacity
looking through last nights hotfix changes,,,
I really doubt it
characters with roots:
bookish goth teenager
bookish nerd college student
cop larp batman
you meean the graves gun ive been shredding with was bugged to do less damage, llol
come to think of it, I'm almost not sure what role boot kick is supposed to play in Silver's kit
like it's a bit of displacement and a slightly increased instance of damage, and you can use it to escape
i do think the stamina reset is realllly useful but yeeah
but as an offensive tool it seems kinda lacking, as compared to something like Calico dash
gap closer when youre going dogmode
boot kick -> 180 -> bola -> S key while shooting because they'll assumingly want to run past you if they're running
you might also be able to 90 it up but I have no idea if that'll work
the ability to flick the camera behind you and throw them back is crucial yeah
I mean using boot kick to push the other guy behind you isn't the intent of the ability I feel, even if it's a strategically valuable use
You sure about that?
it sets up bola and slam fire pretty good too imo since you know where youre putting em
I mean you can use it for that or use it as an escape, using it for raw damage is kinda meh when you can just left click/melee.
Like it might work as low cc if the opponent needs to be able to move to use their abilities but even then, out of all the usage, given how the game isn't a 1v1 for laning phase and how bad minions hurt early on, I'd def say it's strongest use is displacement into your minion wave with your teammate whacking them, esp if your teammate whacks them with a heavy melee when you boot kick
sometimes its nice to just chill, farm, and shoot
I do think that the gun category feels very samey
stars and steel Silver is summoning the patrons to get her life together???
I thought teamfight was strongest option lategame
teamfights are about protecting your infinite damage hose
yeah but that can be spirit can it not if no gun carry
geist isn't my favorite game design either tbqh
but we did have spirit meta for a bit and it was nerfed a bunch.
'she does self damage'
gun carries kinda set a harder hard limit on game length than spirit carries do
'it matters for about five minutes'
I don't think it's like overpowered for her or anything just not the most.. interesting? Idk.
it makes building her different from other heroes and gives her interesting play with her ult, berserker, and frenzy i think its fine
I think it's mainly Geist Bomb really
the life cost mattering early-mid is reasonably important for the character's identity
third-person osu
I still struggle with visual clutter
Coming from Rivals the clutter is a lot more handle-able
but the amount of forced movement layered on top can get a little horgh what's happen to me
Any time I look at them I just think 'why would I not pick Wraith, the most coolest and scalingest one'
and then i pick some other archtype
I mean items
Silver wants An Attack Speed but not more than that
instead she buys one billion bullet shred
What speed item do you go for?
kdash sweep
one kdashillion dollars
i suppose i could pitstop there on my way to stamina mastery..
They need to add combined Dash upgrades
K.Dash and A.Dash, A.Dash and Stamina Mastery, K.Dash and Stamina Mastery, and they should all be stupid
Sange & Yasha...
2
why did dota put the swords in a throuple?
For the fujoshi money of course
because of the 3 attribute system inherited from wc3
ah yes, vitality, gun, and spirit
It’s the gunman 
now we just need fanart of venator running over pocket like the deltarune meme
@magic gulch you won
RIDING IN MY TRUCK
RIGHT AFTER A BEER
HEY THAT BUMP IT LOOKS LIKE A BIRB
I don't want Joel to win I want to keep teasing him about being a fake catholic
Surprised it wasn't the trans unicorn lmao
Now you can cosplay as a real catholic!
the venatorrrrrrr
someone link the abilities
she gets in next
although the twink supporters are surprisingly fervent...
no its apollo trust
I can believe in an upset
i just dont think she fits the aesthetic 🖐️
🤚, still excited
hope we get some more mo and krill type weirdo designs and more unique faces l8r tho im enjoying everyone, i trust them not to be overwatch
you need to be careful saying things like that
Venator’s lore is literally just Alexander Anderson that’s awesome
just her hair colors. everything else is totally fine if she was a lil more washed out id feel better.
pastelier? ig less saturated
When is the new character? Is it today?
right now!
Yup
Venator just now
Nicd
Chat, is pure damage true damage?
yes
Oh my god
also, blessed seems to carry an execute
so he can execute both in ult and in max level 2
I think it’s a separate thing, and it just adds the bonus damages
Also are the little faces showing that it scales with level directly?
correct, boons
He looks good
is this the first instance of pure damage so far?
his victory poster
in slightly better light
Lobbies are about to get a lot more racist
Sauceless christofascist
Already had a Haze player cosplaying as a ice agent in my game last night, was hoping I'd have at least a week without chuds role-playing crusaders in my games
ye, just report and mute
Tried to see if the red letters were any kind of puzzle
you just reminded me of a video of someone being a loser
not sure if youre being ironic but thats kind of a shitty way to talk about something a lot of people were excited about, sly
Yeah wtf, like people already talk about Seven that way, can we not do it again?
He is kind to rem and also Vindicta
He is like the baxter society, like talon said in one of his conversations
they dont hunt monsters creatures
they hunt monsters assholes
knocking people into a wall to stun them my beloved
or to a trap
Abrhams skate boarding around and shoulder checking people
I imagine there will be some people chudlarping
But all you have to do is fucking dumpster every tourist saying deus vult until they uninstall. And real venator players can rule
Ooh the confessional angle lots of the the voice lines are taking is great
Yeah that's smart
just a few, not that many
also the site needs to be updated
that or a video already popped up
the wiki has the transcripts
He gets protection from the (holy) spirit
scaling seems rather low
15% at 130 spirit
That didn't stop Retsu either
Oh also it seems like his shotty has self-knockback too
i like ven
The Seven/Venator lines are great
I love sevens interactions pretty much across the board
yeah seven is hilarious tbh
cruel
seven and vyper probably my favourite sets of voice lines
vyper feels like a real person it's wild
I hope your 30 pieces of silver was worth it, Calico
Seven is probably my favorite so far when it comes to voice lines
@warped ridge Are you in this deadlock game with me?
Venator's crossbow does so much fucking damage. Get smote, idiots.
not the way you'd want it to though I dont think
its just normal gun damage on the bounces innit
ricochet: 203 to main target, 132 to secondary targets
It does pierce targets though so definitely be looking for chances to stake someone behind someone else
we got three-shot goldie in deadlock before gta 6 i'm crying
this is all i've ever wanted

Deadlock is an upcoming MOBA Hero Shoot...
no why?
Is there any kind soul who would share a code to get in? Venator and Silver are very much the kind of kit I enjoy playing
And the game keeps getting better and better, I would love to try it (and get absolutely dumbstered but hey gotta start somewhere)
it's not code based, it's invite based
do you have any steam friends at all with the game? they have infinite invites
otherwise i'm sure anyone can just add you
it's really not a scarcity issue at all
Sorry, meant invite
No sadly no friends playing atm
Most of em didn't know the game existed lmao, just saw cool art online
If it's no bother to do so, that would be neat, thanks!
poke
okay clearly ink just vanished right after asking
I don't know why people keep doing this to me. when they're back someone else just give them an invite
what's you're steam user name
just send them a steam code or the s.team link
wait maybe they're here
I'm bery sorry I very much didn't read that poke correctly
(It's 2 am here, head is kinda eepy)
I thought it meant something different sorry
Phone didn't notice me, sorry
just accept the invite 😭
last time someone asked me for an invite they took a week to accept my friend invitation and then didnt let me know when they had lmao
yeah i'm starting to notice this myself
I can imagine it's frustrating yea
i gotta say, i'm very pleased with his characterization-
i thought he'd be more of the stereotypical DEUS VULT jackass but he's just. Genuinely compassionate. Also obviously unhinged and violent, but as far as it goes for "red right hands of the Vatican", he seems pretty mellow, which i like
Basically Father Andersen but he choose kindness instead of outright beatshit insane
Venator is really fun
I was expecting him to be more tanky and frontline focused but this is still really fun
He’s so far the only gun carry the game has that I actually like playing
Also his ult is, so goddamn funny
It’s insanely strong lol
did the game just have a server hiccup then have a rank pop up?
And eventually becomes 3 true damage executed
he has a lot of odd scalings
er, a lot of boon scaling
his ult & 1 are both boon-scaling true damage
so he can in theory go hard tank maybe?
and still hit moderately hard?
rank 3 gutshot also gives you another true damage hit
can absolutely go for ability duration + charges & go for tankiness i think
Priest with guns. Check. Zombies. Check. Blood. Double check.
Now nuke 'em, David Duke 'em.
@mystic breach @bleak thicket @mild flume in case you guys haven't seen this ^
I mean I just think of that I kick ass for the lord clip from like the old peter jackson film
Hey is 10 minutes a long time for matchmaking to take with a party of 4
yes
Does anyone know why it is taking so long for us to find a match
is it just me or does vindictor feel... weak?
I've seen him pump out a lotta teamfight damage but seems uh
killable
seems more abilities-focused than pure gun scaling
oh lmao i didn't even catch that
the pairing is deeply suspect, vindicta alternates between unkillable ac-130 and a little coughing baby, venator presses 4 and kills you but can suffer from limited durability and ok escape tools should he not oneshot you for existing in LOS
i feel like maybe a bit too much power tied up in his ult there
could parse it out a lil
but first day etc
just like: damn
does Spellbreaker not work because it's Pure Damage
yep
i feel like he's too... ult heavy?
Might not ignore barriers?
you very blatantly just max ult asap
like his abilities feel kinda shit
and then stack one million weapon damage
because you can't resist 3x 900 damage orbital shiv executes
Ah nope, pure damage also ignores barriers

what
I didn't even know that part that's crazy
I think even when they do nerf ult he is maybe the most bloody-mindedly m1 exclusive character because everything cares about orange and orange only
he gets resists from spirit but 15% at 100 spirit that only dubiously contributes to the rest of your gameplan is surely not where you want to be
Not a lot of things that deal pure damage, it's basically:
- Health-steal abilities/items (Geist 4, Mirage 1, Siphon Bullets)
- Post-mitigation damage amp (Billy 1, Focus Lens)
- Executes (Talon 4 T3, Shiv 4)
- Venator
Tankbuster?
I remember that being a big change a while back but I'm unsure if they since rolled it back
AP Rounds and Tankbuster bypass resists but are still technically weapon/spirit damage
eternus 6 tags?
emerald 6?
I want to play main but I am like
Spellbreaker only affects spirit damage
Celeste animations
not good mentally right now lmao
Against Venator's ult you want bullet resist or just raw HP @merry verge
A lot of the damage is bullet, but a lot of it is pure too
maybe tomorrow I'll feel better
idk about this, I think his 1 is fairly good too, and there's a build out there which goes ult 2 / gutshot 3
I mean 1 might be good but until they turn down the numbers I don't really see any point doing anything other than orbital striking people
ehhh?
ohh i thought it converted it all to pure okay okay
I think that a lot of people don't realize that the pure damage on the ult doesn't scale at all
yeah it doesn't convert all to pure!
and he can't scale the pure damage in any way!
he can only scale the gun damage bit of it!
it's a special gun for killing Minas
probably true
anyone remotely squishy just turns to vapor for the offense of existing
buy ur greens
get weapoin shielding or whatever
pure ignores the shield but it'll eat the bullet damage
iunno about that
I suspect metal skin doesn't work versus ult?
if it does it only works on the weapon damage part
just simply don'te gete shote
because lol, lmao, metal skin's statement on what it does is false
if you're going to use the "reducing the weapon is good enough" logic
i'm also not sure metal skin works on weapon damage from abilities?
time to go to the lab
i know metal skin is dumb and stupid and doesn't stop proc effects at all
so it won't stop the pure damage for sure.
it does stop the weapon damage
no points in ult shooting an infernus with metal skin, first two bolts deal 0 damage
as they don't do any pure damage that's what you would expect
christ.
doesn't seem to stop the DOT from venator 1
I think someone found that it actually does have a slight damage boost to vamps (which I assume is Mina and Drifter)
Oh that's more than slight, huh
what the fuuuuck
this is venator ult?
yes
huh, that's interesting
would be weird if it did- the DoT is true damage
wait vampires take 40 bonus damage from Venator's ult?? That's very funny
ah so we're looking to see if it blocks impact
are his melees also anti-vamp?
I wonder if this applies to Silver too
1s
...actually never mind you know what it is
I had metal skin bought on infernus
passive bullet resist
ohp
lemme spawn a new dummy
nope it's still real
Same numbers?
man this is bizarre
why the hell is it giving me 160 sometimes on a bodyshot
first two bolts only with no investment, so no pure
the fuck
okay so no, it's more like 120 on infernus, 125 on mina
so it's just entirely for flavor, but it is very, very funny that it works
does infernus naturally have some resists/mina naturally have less?
the fuck was this game
120
well I mean
when he has dialog with silver he specifically says he won't stake her
so I guess it's canon!
argue with the lore
they also agree to get drinks after
warden: has truncheon, still just punches people
I think it's very funny that Deadlock has actual cops in the roster and Warden isn't one of them, he just dresses like that
i NEED them to update his model already god damn
actual policewoman holliday dresses like a pumpkin spice latte gijinka with a cowboy hat
...yeah, Holiday is an actual cop
Haze is a fed
haze looks like a possessed dentist's glove balloon
but I feel like Haze is the type to go 'hey, don't trust the OSIC'
but idk for sure.
She's like a small town sheriff or something but yeah
Haze is split between 'man I hate being a fed I just wanna play my cello and vibe' and 'literal military recruiter trying to get graves to join her'
I think I remember a haze line which is like 'do not the OSIC' to one of the Weird Folks
no Haze loves her job
one of her victory voicelines is literally 'i love my job'
maybe she just likes killing people
maybe!
I guess that's not out of character...
Holliday is also probably connected somehow to RL historical gunfighter Doc Holliday
I think that's the implication of her gun being a handmedown from her grandfather
nevermind Im voting celeste
although, idk, doc holliday might be recent enough in a hypothetical timeline to have been her father?
it's clearly the riff given she has the cowboy hat and the trickshooter ability
Doc Holliday was born 1851, died 1887
so assuming it's the 1920s, that... does fit the grandfather timeline!
Yeah
any truth to sharpshooter being bugged with venators ult? Dealing more damage than it should apparently
for some reason my brain asked "how would he have had kids if he died so young" and I had to remind myself HE LIVED IN THE 19th CENTURY
Also he was 36, that's old enough to have kids in the 21st
that's what makes it even stupider
did I just think that people lost their reproductive organs at random back then???
I saw it doing way less?
The real ahistoricity is Kelvin, being sort of named after a temperature scale named after a guy who died in 1907
but they patched maybe idk
they seem to have just completely fucked something behind the scenes on weapon items
the close quarters bug is inexplicable
There are other people named Kelvin
pudge's character concept has been passed around like a blunt between like eighty different games
I mean yeah but the historical Lord Kelvin was named after a relatively obscure Scottish river in 1892 was what I was gesturing at
like calling a modern big man character Ross in honor of Ross, the largest Friend
Check out this guy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Kelvin
Andrew Wallace Kelvin (born 1869) was a Scottish footballer who played as an outside left. Kelvin played six times for Liverpool during their inaugural season of 1892–93. He also played for Kilmarnock.
also billy
I hope this billy has an eternal hatred for me.
and he is arguably the most anachronistic part of deadlock when the punk movement is late 2000s
Good point they didnt have the name Billiam back then
I get what people are saying about bebop but honestly he looks way less out of place in this game than old McGinnis
I wasnt going to mention bebop at first but I ran with it
Disarming Hex has a ☮️ symbol dispite that symbol originating in the nuclear disarmament movement of the late 50s
like he clearly has relics of neon prime all over him, but the atomic robo kind of papers it over
still, punk rock existed mid 1970s
the existence of mcginnis probably explains the anachronistic existence of nuclear disarmament
going on and on about how anachronistic one or two things are doesnt change that they are playing fast and loose with the "date" deadlock has
Also
"Enjoy your eternal rest at the Baroness, Billy."
Also if anyone is wondering what the connection is...
Hell is part of the USA
actual nukes might not exist, but whatever the hell mcginnis has going on is almost certainly as horrific
the beatles album cover if they were neurodivergent
South ixia is functionally hell
pointing directly at the Hidden King
Responsible for Punk
yeah this is also probably true
Also whatever's going on with Grey Talon's bow
And paradox/dynamo existence
paradox is atomic robo
didnt Seven like, reverse soulkiller the best mages in the world
lmao
A bunch of them yeah
a

Insert Invincible edit here
I have seen that drawn over with seven so many times
Oh I figured out why his name is Seven, didn't catch that detail before
Wards placed by the most powerful ritualists of 7 different nations…
frame fucking 1 he got the parry anim swap people were just stricken with inspiration
the number on his chest is also apparently a Japanese number substitution joke
Seven nation army has NOTHING on this man
Truly, a seven nation army couldn't hold him back
the stripes on his uniform are more beige
It's fun that you can just punch that to death apparently
Apotheosis huh Seven
nawh
Seven wants to become god
like, what the fuck man
he's gonna be like, "gimme the corpse of the archmother"
"im going to eat it"
too lazy to edit this
ignore my shitass aim
u fuckin
I was so excited
flavour based counterpicking...
yeah it's not that big
its still cute
you were yay-close to just doing father anderson cosplay
his melee is a stake too, does that also deal more damage?
oh interesting, if you shoot someone while looking up it knocks them way farther away
so if you crouch before gut shotting you can kinda use that to make space
it doesn't wallslam though
which I mean fucking understandable
you probably don't want him to just lob people 30 meters into walls and then stun them afterwards
heavy melee does the same damage to vampires as to ixilans
but it's A factor to consider
billy is at least 30 years early for sex pistols-era punk
computers exist in a more sophisticated fashion than the time
dynamo's gun is named after kurt vonnegut who wouldn't become popular for at least a decade or two. also the concept of a black hole or singularity wasn't coined until 1960
victor's model of staple gun is Also a much newer model than the period would suggest
the mention of houdini's death would set this timeline back from the 40s by a few years or a couple decades depending on how closely it adheres to his actual life
the timeline could be set at any point in time from the tail end of the 20s to like the early 50s. it also doesn't precisely matter anyway, bc it's more of a vibe first, with clear diversions in history and technology
-# why did i type this
I mean granted there's a squadron of Time Thieves
things could also just be a lil funny
some of the rifts just lead to Real 2012 like Bioshock
say that again....
now that's what I'm talking about
stonks
so venator ult sure does hit you as rem when youre sleeping on someone
and it sure does deal 2000 damage per shot
it WHAT
not even the baby is safe
That's rad (fear)
you'd think he'd have a different stance on killing babies inside someone else, being catholic and all
2000 damage is gonna be if he's hella fed but that crossbow does not mess around
he didnt even have to be fed lol he just had to not get shut down
I would have to guess so, if he can hit rem during tag along
can he shoot people in eshift
I just got into bed, someone else must test this
either that OR it kills the guy im in and then IMMEDIATELY pierces me too
It might be that tbh
Wouldn't be the first time I've had something similar happen
either way, it probably shouldnt deal 2k a shot
The scaling on his abilities is weird right now and a lot of people were mixed up on what parts even scale at all
But it's mostly weapon damage, so he just buys glass cannon and battle vest and weighted rounds and merks people
He does get dual resist scaling with spirit power too so there's reason to grab spirit spike items just because. Most generically would be superior duration and maybe greater reach (makes the traps huge)
it's like 15% at 100 spirit so it's really not worth focussing on spirit primarily
you should basically just put the 4.8k in the bag
Getting him just to 4.8k or 6.4k is prolly the move, yeah
go sharpshooter hollow point opening rounds hunter aura and enjoy glitched ult
Or maybe it might be a bug that he does 2000 damage lol
I would consider BRS + your choice of 3.2k spirit active to proc it but I'm unsure
He might like bonus charges too later on? Because he has charges on not just the trap but also grenade T3
BRS I'm unsure about because his only spirit damage is the trap
BRS works with toxic bullets, but he lacks methods to apply BRS in general. Tesla bullets works
Ah right procs
that's why I was thinking decay or silence wave
decay/grenade seems extremely obnoxious to deal with
Wow yeah, full-build he does just rip like 3 shots for 3000+ damage each that ignores resists
Granted thats like 24k-30k of stuff entirely focused on doing that one-shot and being max level.
Man I can’t wait until the hype dies down and I can actually consistently get silver and Venator
I really wanna learn them but so far my only good games for either have been street brawl
I’ve fed every silver game I’ve played and I haven’t even had the chance to play a normal game of Venator
so far my venator experience has been
- enemy team: carries the whole team and one shots us for 2600 damage
- enemy team: gives enough time for mina and seven to get online with the 1800 damage one shots
- my team: goes 0-7 in lane and gets carried by graves and drifter
(in fairness to my ven im pretty sure our lane opponents were smurfing)
Playing venator in brawl and people already know im kill on sight lol
Someone got disarming hex its miserable lol
apparently it was a bug with his ult and Sharpshooter?
540 + 360 + 100 is definitely not 2600
Fair
classic persecuted Christian majority 🙄
It’s anti catholic sentiment seeping into deadlock
I'm kinda surprised that Silver's constantly being picked in your games; in mine I feel like she's nowhere nearly as constant a presence as Graves
playing Seven is so* chill**
Playing Victor is suffering
Yeah that's the point
sometimes you get games where you're crying and sweating your ass off for one kill against a 51k abrams
and other times you're just kicking back fucking around with one duo who are clearly both utterly smashed, one haze player with a mic and then two other competent randos
I wonder what kind of Wrong Math is happening to make Sharp like 3x multiplier
The only good Venator RolePlay will be misquoting the Bible
Or just day drinking
Truly a hero made for me
"Oh no it's him, the bane of vampire, the Daydrinker"
And then yourself at the ground
lash is one of the heroes with the biggest counters because his ult is just really good
he deals like
idfk
doorman is more consistent in every way
i mean his ult doesnt let you just "haha whole enemy team is now inside a 3000 dps cc"
but it does let you troll because 30-something second CD
52.5 seconds
30-something if you get lucky in brawl
doorman and lash do pretty different things
im always losing in lane to aggressive lashes bc his combo hurts a loooot
Please don't post like this
Why must every competitive game thread in this server inevitably pick up these random road rage posts about balance or randoms or whatever
If you have the urge to post stuff like this in the future just don't
perfect
Man, I really love the hidden king
I like that he kinda plays the role of like, the chaotic nature god to the arch mother
But instead of being a god of nature and the wild
He’s more a god of the slums and rusted out industry
He’s the rust Bank of America made manifest
I love when Archmother breaks her perfection facade and gets all shouty
'SOMEONE GET SOME SILVER BULLETS, AND SHOOT HER.'
also the minor reduction in aura damage might not have knocked Victor enough
but i guess I just keep having problems with the sort of 'you let it go past 30 minutes, time to lose' characters
I'm not entirely sure where but it feels like there's a certain underlying vibe about stuff and it doesn't help when certain items or stuff gets talked about.
Like I know Trophy collector was one of those items that gets talked about.
And I know I still gotta play another 800 hours of brawl matches on different chars cause I still have like, vibes about certain chars being bad.
Like I thought Drifter was absolutely terrible until I actually played him and now he's one of my favorite characters
competitive games by their nature encourage hostile behavior
I disagree
If the game itself encourages hostile behavior you would get points for dropping slurs in all chat
A lot of games struggle with getting rid of toxic behavior cause a lot of people just act toxic for w/e reason
Ppl act toxic for a litany of reasons, the primary one to me is existing in a competitive environment without much accountability
P much yeh
I report people who complain in game about people going 0/7, Idk if valve will ever do anything about it, but I do the same across all games
tbh for me drifters main issue is either drip or drown
when you are ahead, its great
when you are behind, you are functionally a 5v6
What about when you're even?
Well, I think competitive games like this encourage team work by making you win the game if you work together.
Like hostile behaviour towards your team mates, decreases your chance of victory it is punished.

Findings from this study indicated that competitive contexts within games amplified postgame aggressive behavior among high school students. Notably, cooperative contexts within games were found to alleviate the aggression-enhancing effects of competition. These results present a novel avenue for ex …
people dont ragepost about left 4 dead or peak, broadly
Damn I guess you're right
I still wanna know what if you're even so I know the amount of toxicity I should expect
being even is a quantum superposition of being behind and being ahead which cannot be determined until observed in a team fight
No its not
Being even would just be avg of all players or even between your lane
Unless you mean like
"Impossible to be even because powerspikes different"
In which case yeah but then that would just be behind or even depending on the powerspikes
its a joke reverb
This is deadlock, you could tell me you could parry a wall jump and I would believe you
you can parry melee creeps and it stuns nearby enemy heroes
why
I want the drugs the deadlock dev team is on
Might actually fix my depression for once
ok not that but you can parry minion melees
there is moments where you accidentally parry a minion melee and your parry is cd reset
but the enemy thinks you are on cooldown therefore they will punch you unimpeded
???
Yeah that is something that just happens and you react on the moment
So if you parry a minion it doesn't stun enemy heroes?
yeah you just parry the minion
but a lot of the time people see you parry go "oh look free melee attacks", charge up a heavy melee
trooper attacks you with melee, resets your parry cooldown
you press f again
Ahh makes sense
am I wrong? I was certain parries were AoE
no
huh
you can delay a melee creep from moving forward by spam parrying it and it looks very silly
I wanted to play some of main on Wednesday but I got depressed and was still depressed yesterday, feeling slightly better today but now Idk if I'm in the mood to play normals. 
Might just play more brawl fights
Sometimes, it might be a dopamine hole and you need a pause from stimulous/quick reward
Hey silly question but are there any Gun versions of Greater Expansion?
I want to fire massive flares into the enemy ranks
Ballistic Enchantment gives range to what you imbue it on
Other than that nooot really
Greater Expansion + Ballistic Enchantment turning this into a party for everyone to join in
The only spirit damage you can do without items is his traps, and I don't think they're really worth it enough to try a strange spirit Venator build
still
funny to look at
Spirit does give him a little Bullet/Spirit resist, makes sneaking in a purple feel less bad
Rem is so sleepy he forgot his pants
next level
