Drifting

vast sandal
#

You should try Apollo May

#

The direct melee violence lifestyle

plucky tusk
#

He's in my roster I've just never pulled him from the character gacha

#

ok bye im sleep

vast sandal
#

Also I think it’s very funny that one of Calico’s kill lines is “I am superior.”

plucky tusk
#

Driftin... Off to rem time

vast sandal
#

Just straight up affirming she’s better

#

Daily Calico affirmations

#
  • you are better than other people
  • being rich justifies whatever you had to do to get there
  • it’s okay to murder children if their parents pay you to do it
  • your cat still loves you even if your husband and son don’t
#

I really appreciate how the Deadlock cast is full of deeply flawed characters who all have some reason they’re chill with working with literally whoever to get their wish

#

Even Paige, who seems very morally straight laced, will ignore it all if she can find Bryce

#

Also she starts to lapse into some concerning egomaniac shit on her kill streak lines

vivid nimbus
#

I love Pocket's kill and killstreak lines

vast sandal
#

Pocket truly believes that killing people is wrong and wants to end this as nonviolently as possible

#

They really aren’t about that life

#

It’s nice

spring tundra
#

a playable guy

vast sandal
#

If they do get a hero appearance, the Troubadour is gonna have to be on some shit where it’s like

#

“Okay Holliday, we finish this fight and then it’s down to you and me”

vivid nimbus
#

What we know about the Holliday VN ||seems to involve her successfully taking the Troubador down, permanently||

spring tundra
#

oh shit!

vast sandal
#

||Yeah her conversation with Haze implies that whatever was up with the Troubadour, it’s permanently dealt with and her beef now is with the OSIC for wanting to recruit it instead of kill it||

#

||Haze isnt psyched about it either||

vivid nimbus
#

Yep

vast sandal
#

I wonder what you want to wish for, Haze…

#

The Patrons are bemused by it but won’t spell it out directly

vivid nimbus
#

I actually think Haze wants out

maiden ledge
#

HAZE

somber creek
#

Haze could just leave

maiden ledge
#

YOU MUST DECIDE WHETHER THE WISH IS FOR THE OH ES I SEE

#

OR YOU

vivid nimbus
#

Yeah exactly

vast sandal
#

Haze probably can’t quit the OSIC

#

They have her committing black op assassinations

maiden ledge
#

DECIDE: NEVER TOUCH HAZE AGAIN

#

OR BE OBLITERATED INTO NOTHINGNESS

  • Hidden King xoxo
vivid nimbus
#

Two other lines that stand out to me
(HK) "There is a life waiting for you, Haze, and once you complete the ritual, it can be yours!"
(AM) "You sacrificed so much in the name of duty. But today... you will be made whole."

#

And based on vibes, I think she sacrificed her human body for the power to be all smokey and invade dreams

#

Her wish might mean she can't be a sandman anymore

vast sandal
#

I mean if it’s a wish she could simply wish to have a human body and also be a sandman when she wants to be one

#

The Patrons’ powers are vast

maiden ledge
#

dynamo just wants the bod and to call it quits and maybe also get another fucked up bod by checking out what seven's deal is

#

Did you drift on em

cosmic cypress
#

I love him

the fucking serial killer whistle

#

I had a lot of trouble deciding when to go in, and sometimes just diving too deep and getting 3v1's

#

Another Driftah player has been identified

vast sandal
cosmic cypress
#

Yeah

maiden ledge
#

oihhhh your the driftuhg

vast sandal
#

It’s hard to judge which fights you want to go in on and Drifter has no way out except killing everyone

cosmic cypress
#

I was sold early but like

#

The Moment was when I hit a doorman with 2

#

he did a fancy escape and I just

#

Teleported behind him

vast sandal
#

Okay so

cosmic cypress
#

WHY HELLO THERE, BOY

vast sandal
#

As a Doorman player

#

Don’t teleport through a door

#

Just don’t do it

#

Whenever I have Drifter’s mark on me my first thought is “what devious realm of Hell can I bait this Drifter into”

cosmic cypress
#

Oh no, this was like

#

his team is fighting my team, he's on 2hp

#

in cardboard elo

vast sandal
#

Oh yeah no that’s easy scoops

#

We eat those foods

cosmic cypress
#

I'm not getting An Elaborate Trap here

vast sandal
#

But don’t get complacent with Doorman, he will lure you into realms of suffering you cannot comprehend

maiden ledge
#

i got carried into ritualist and now I'm getting my ass beat nonstop

#

if i get into a losing streak valve should just hand me a button that says demote now

cosmic cypress
#

I don't think I will keep playing Drifter because I think he needs good move tech and map knowledge

#

which I don't have and don't want to learn

vast sandal
#

I say this both as a Doorman player and also as a Calico player who’s followed Doorman to terrible places before

maiden ledge
#

Never follow Doorman

undone galleon
#

may has infected me so bad that i went to check his abilities online & put into the searchbar "the drifter"

maiden ledge
#

the drifttttuhhh

undone galleon
#

vivid nimbus
vast sandal
#

Doorman will lead you places you wouldn’t go with 3 rejuv charges and a pocket support

cosmic cypress
#

Drifter is a 10/10 for style though

vast sandal
#

Like his spawn room

cosmic cypress
#

his fucking evil whistle

vast sandal
#

I love sending enemies in base to my spawn room

cosmic cypress
#

Also promoted to Alchemist II

maiden ledge
#

Doorman will send you to spawn room and hop up on ledge to cart you back into it if you try to warp or leap out

vast sandal
#

Alright everybody, let’s see whats behind door #1! it’s death!

maiden ledge
#

doorman will literally vortex web you and it'll suck

#

like bad

vast sandal
#

Vortex Web into cart into unimaginable torments he’s devised for you

maiden ledge
#

like that bell is godawful but getting kidnapped with that setup in like. your own jungle next to base is iust

#

just something else

vast sandal
#

Him chuckling and going “you almost got me!” when you use critical health Hotel Guest is so goddamned evil

maiden ledge
#

Doorman with Cheat Death is just hero harassment nonstop

#

like cool he doors back into base wtf are you gonna do follow him?

#

if you're a fed victor, you might

vivid nimbus
#

Spawn does % health true damage so really you just need to not get stunned in there as you kill him

#

And also make your way the rest of the way out of base

agile rune
#

Wait do we have a new fan of the third fast and furious movie?

maiden ledge
#

If the Doorman is playing right he'll dunk you with a cart into the wall if you follow him and if he misses

somber creek
#

God I hope Holiday gets reworked soon

agile rune
#

What needs a rework on holiday

somber creek
#

Well besides a visual update, her current numbers don't really facilitate any real gameplan like the newer champs do

maiden ledge
#

God, Doorman is so fucked. he is such a perfect encapsulation of how to make people suffer in a game like Deadlock.
I want to get good at him so badly. Like so so badly

vast sandal
#

I don’t know if I’m good at Doorman yet but I know I’ve made people deeply upset

vast sandal
#

Right now she kinda can’t cook shit

maiden ledge
#

tbf it is not that hard to make people deeply upset in deadlock so maybe you're already good at him

#

is your doorman game winning? idk. but if they're suffering that's diagetic and in character so you've got that down

vast sandal
#

My doorman has been game-winning

#

So I’m feeling good about it lol

#

It is as I was taught, Doorman may not put up insane numbers but his presence can completely change the outcome of a fight for the better (or the worse if you’re dealing with him) and that’s enough to win or lose a game off of

maiden ledge
#

That's true

#

maybe i should pick him up if im already getting my ass kicked

somber creek
#

I do also think Crackshot could be reworked to no longer be about headshots

vivid nimbus
#

I think part of the issue with Crackshot is that Holliday is actually one of the harder characters to land a headshot with

somber creek
#

That is part of the issue yes

#

I also think headshots are generally pretty hard to hit in Deadlock in general

maiden ledge
#

i haven't run into many people crouch spamming yet so that's good.
instead they're doing source engine movement shit to me

vivid nimbus
#

Yeah no one crouch spams

late hare
#

I’m trying to learn her but man is she tricky

#

My gun aim is bad and I know she’s supposed to have a relatively strong lane but it does not feel that way

#

probably gonna have to put her back in the box, sad times 😔

vivid nimbus
#

Silver?

random urchin
vast sandal
#

yeah it's a real motherfucker

#

having multiple CC actives on Doorman means someone's gonna have a REALLY bad time

random urchin
#

I'm still not fast enough for consistent cart+door tricks

#

Getting the door down while the cart is moving is tough

vast sandal
#

you have to get comfortable with giving people hugs too

#

the closer you are to your target the easier it is to cart em even if they're actively aware of what you're doing

#

so sometimes you just have to grit your teeth and run at an enemy team as you toss the squid at em if you want to get the big prize

#

majleap or veil walker helps too, being invisible or dropping into a fight from a crazy angle makes it a lot easier to land some horseshit

late hare
vivid nimbus
#

Ahh right

final osprey
#

Holiday currently has the issue of not really getting any scaling, so even if you can aim her shots or barrels.
It doesnt really do much

late hare
#

yeah, it definitely feels like my inability to hit crackshots is robbing me of a lot of important damage

#

back to the drawing board

#

blech, having a lot of rough matches today

#

not totally sure why? I think some of it is learning to farm more efficiently

cosmic cypress
#

I need to work on that- I never do sinners or jungle camps

#

At my rank, lanes are just brawling 24/7, so leaving seems hard

#

everyone is fighting or pushing wave, and I worry I'm gonna lose health to the jungle camp and be forced out of lane

#

I feel like I'm missing something with gun heroes

It seems like just shooting doesn't do very much damage

Maybe I'm just too far away? But getting in super close feels like a good way to get instantly exploded for 1000% of my health bar

how can you hate a character who literally never gets caught out

#

she gets to do shit for FREE

#

NO COST

#

$500 x NOTHING

rich grove
#

would you rather have 1$

vast sandal
#

actually it's crazy how Calico is like

#

agonizing to punish in lane because she moves so quicky, has a poke far more offensive than anything Apollo does and quick rotations: the spell, AND gets paid extra to kill you

cosmic cypress
#

also I am also not enjoying celeste

Finally been yelled at over voice lmao

#

also how the fuck do you deal with grey talon he just flies

somber creek
#

buy knockdown

#

or also fly at him

vivid nimbus
#

He also doesn't move that fast while airborne so if you're a gun-y hero you can Just Shoot Him

somber creek
#

The real counter

#

is Magic Carpet Billy

vivid nimbus
#

The Lash needs no magic carpet

terse aspen
vast sandal
#

Grey Talon is a frail nerd who is easily punched into submission

#

Pushing up the lane is very effective against sniper heroes like GT and Vindicta because their wave clear is usually pretty lousy and you can consequently force them to either take damage or back off and let you have guardian damage

#

And if they give you the guardian damage, then you just take it because snipers with no objective to retreat to are snipers that die a lot easier

#

You can win lane pretty conclusively just by murking their guardian and then shoving lane up to walker and dipping, that puts them like 3 waves behind threatening your objective and that’s plenty of time for one or both laners to go cause a catastrophe somewhere else

late hare
#

probably should consider typing to my teammates a bit more

#

don't like the idea much but I had a few too many really unfortunate lanes where my partner and I were just not in sync and it made the following 30 minutes equally unpleasant

#

and I imagine that's the best way to rectify that

vivid nimbus
#

Big Ava sorta gives me Nasus vibes

finite grotto
#

Hundo

terse aspen
#

The ping wheel can also help, but it's more limited

#

Typing lets you say things like "don't come and support me if I'm aggressively split pushing alone, go and do an objective somewhere else"

#

I don't think there's a ping for that

lavish grove
#

You’ll always have that extra vulnerability to gun damage but that doesn’t matter to much when you have a several hundred strength shield and heal for 20% of the damage you deal on top of the innate lifesteal you get from her 1

#

Also with good movement any and all damage she does take will be inconsistent because she’s so controllable in the air

#

Actually hitting a good celeste is like half the challenge of fighting one

#

Made worse when that damage goes into a shield and she heals the rest

cosmic cypress
late hare
#

I don't typically like to be alone more than halfway up the lane assuming both guardians are down

#

and it ends up the case that I'm often on unattended lane cleanup duty even if I'm playing someone like Calico who is probably better served somewhere else

merry verge
#

Doorman has spoiled me for pushing up, makes Drifter and Silver get caught out even more than they already like to

agile void
#

calico is a killer though so she is better roaming and grabbing boxes

late hare
#

kinda rough waveclear too, yeah

#

feels that way to me at least

merry verge
#

Very dependent on minion position for her skills yeahhh

final osprey
#

I don't think the Doorman would really care, unless they were like impolite hotel guests

somber creek
#

I think in a world where werewolves and gorgons exist and are born that way, furries at the very best would seem insensitive

my proposal for Tock is that his ult has him "submerge" into shadows and slowly approach a target while they hear an intensifying tick-tocking sound

also he's Spirit Breaker.

and express shot potentially allows for saving slamfire for ult

#

which is interesting & funky

#

...Express Shot is solid for humanform damage & also potentially allows you to save Slamfire for tf which is interesting.
toxic is similar in performance to PB for damage but has different upside

merry verge
#

I fell in love with Express the first time they nerfed ult gain, but it does slot nicely as kind of.. Slamfire Lite

#

And works out to shocking distances

#

Also just fun to magdump the slowest gun in the game

I love express shot silver

Express shot+hollow rounds means that a single M1 shot+slam fire instantly puts me in wolf form

I should play more Seven I think

#

in part just to try and keep other people off of him

#

enemy Seven will inevitably farm his way into relevancy and potentially swing the game, friendly Seven goes 1 - 16

#

I pitch Seven to people as being the good future/bad future system from Sonic CD

#

if you stop Seven from doing stuff you get the good timeline and if you let him farm and get strong you will get the bad timeline

I had a 60 minute game of Seven this week and I got MVP and I legit thought "no I did not deserve that"

Enemy team was in the good timeline until it wasn't

Man, it’s still so weird to me that haze has a “spin around shooting in all directions” ult

#

And it’s single target

#

Until the last upgrade where it targets 2 people

spring tundra
#

Yeah i dont really get how it works

#

I do not get bebop at all

late hare
#

what's the trick

vast sandal
#

okay I will explain both of these things

#

Haze's ult chooses a random target inside the circle and shoots it with perfect accuracy, repeating this process 40 times

#

or more if you get Duration Extender

#

as for Bebop

#

Beep Boop is a character who has two strong displaces and two strong Spirit damage spells

#

there's two very divergent Bebop builds, Tankbop and Bombbop

#

Tankbop relies on his ability to force melee engagements and the fact that he has a melee damage spell in Uppercut that regenerates his health to get in there and hand out Ls with melee damage increasing items while muscling through damage

#

Bombbop relies on the fact that Bebop's sticky bomb gets stronger every time you successfully use it and cranks out extremely damaging bombs along with playing a laser jazz solo all over the enemy team when things are looking gnarly

#

but no matter which Bebop build you're up against, one of the scariest things about the character is that he is REALLY good at setting up picks and defending objectives effectively thanks to the hook/uppercut combo

agile void
#

he was the prime kidnapper until the gingers Attacked

late hare
#

You can actually build bebop as a gun character as well. His gun's pretty alright and he's still useful even if he's not doing huge bomb damage

#

He's a bit like Ivy in that way, I think? Very flexible character

Did something happen to haze super recently? I feel like frlm here and the subreddit ive seen a sudden spike in people complaining about her lmao

stable forum
#

they reworked her entire kit in the previous big update

#

people are figuring out that it's optimal on her to just farm forever & kill everyone with ult

#

not quite exactly true, but her ult now hits two targets at rank 3 and can reasonably wipe teams with Riccochet.

#

previously Haze only hit one target with ult even at rank 3, and so her ult was more of a dueling thing.

cultist + SSB or Mystic Shot as your gun 4800 is probably fine.
