Drifting
He's in my roster I've just never pulled him from the character gacha
ok bye im sleep
Also I think it’s very funny that one of Calico’s kill lines is “I am superior.”
Driftin... Off to rem time
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
I love Pocket's kill and killstreak lines
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
so i actually think that this is probably while troubador isnt ever gonna be like
a playable guy
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”
What we know about the Holliday VN ||seems to involve her successfully taking the Troubador down, permanently||
oh shit!
||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||
Yep
I wonder what you want to wish for, Haze…
The Patrons are bemused by it but won’t spell it out directly
I actually think Haze wants out
HAZE
Haze could just leave
Yeah exactly
DECIDE: NEVER TOUCH HAZE AGAIN
OR BE OBLITERATED INTO NOTHINGNESS
- Hidden King xoxo
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
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
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
I won!
You won!
Did you drift on em
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
This is the like, classical ubiquitous Drifter player problem
Yeah
oihhhh your the driftuhg
It’s hard to judge which fights you want to go in on and Drifter has no way out except killing everyone
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
Lee Sin moment
Okay so
WHY HELLO THERE, BOY
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”
Oh no, this was like
his team is fighting my team, he's on 2hp
in cardboard elo
I'm not getting An Elaborate Trap here
But don’t get complacent with Doorman, he will lure you into realms of suffering you cannot comprehend
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
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
I say this both as a Doorman player and also as a Calico player who’s followed Doorman to terrible places before
Never follow Doorman
may has infected me so bad that i went to check his abilities online & put into the searchbar "the drifter"
the drifttttuhhh
da driftuh
He is a roamer but I don't think he needs good move tech compared to other roamers. Map knowledge? Yeah you need that
Doorman will lead you places you wouldn’t go with 3 rejuv charges and a pocket support
Drifter is a 10/10 for style though
Like his spawn room
his fucking evil whistle
I love sending enemies in base to my spawn room
Also promoted to Alchemist II
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
Alright everybody, let’s see whats behind door #1! it’s death!
Vortex Web into cart into unimaginable torments he’s devised for you
like that bell is godawful but getting kidnapped with that setup in like. your own jungle next to base is iust
just something else
Him chuckling and going “you almost got me!” when you use critical health Hotel Guest is so goddamned evil
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
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
But not unlimited
Wait do we have a new fan of the third fast and furious movie?
If the Doorman is playing right he'll dunk you with a cart into the wall if you follow him and if he misses
God I hope Holiday gets reworked soon
What needs a rework on holiday
Well besides a visual update, her current numbers don't really facilitate any real gameplan like the newer champs do
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
I don’t know if I’m good at Doorman yet but I know I’ve made people deeply upset
She needs, like, a gameplan
Right now she kinda can’t cook shit
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
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
I do also think Crackshot could be reworked to no longer be about headshots
I think part of the issue with Crackshot is that Holliday is actually one of the harder characters to land a headshot with
That is part of the issue yes
I also think headshots are generally pretty hard to hit in Deadlock in general
i haven't run into many people crouch spamming yet so that's good.
instead they're doing source engine movement shit to me
Yeah no one crouch spams
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 😔
Silver?
The threat of knockdown/cart T3 stun + bell is enough to make people think twice
yeah it's a real motherfucker
having multiple CC actives on Doorman means someone's gonna have a REALLY bad time
I'm still not fast enough for consistent cart+door tricks
Getting the door down while the cart is moving is tough
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
holliday
Ahh right
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
yeah, it definitely feels like my inability to hit crackshots is robbing me of a lot of important damage
back to the drawing board
could give Celeste another go
I originally wanted this to be a short and asked my friends to come up with a few lines. They came up with over 70.

you are just a counterspell check/item holder

Ok, actually had a good gun apollo game, its weird but not that weird

Deadlock is an upcoming third-person shooter and multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game developed and published by Valve.
imagine this is a strategy in comp play
honestly It might genuinely be one
I dont go gun but I do like to splice in melee charge and point blank
Gives a solid boost to your damage if you can land your riposte stun
shit wrong video

The drifter design in this video fucking rules
Completely genuinely i love it
fun fact drifters original model had that goofy ass smile
they changed it to the current grin pretty soon after telease
Tbh i really like him having a comically evil smile
We're at 5-6 now right?
5-6 what?
reposts of that video
yes
concerning
To my credit i did it because i was specifically referencing something from it
Not because i thought the video itself would be new to yall lmao
reminds me of that build thats only lightening scroll on silver
the og
had a really good game, one of my best apperently
against a nightmare team no less
only 5 so still one away from the full stack
urge to repost rising
any pointers on how to build Tankbop?
Damn, was right at the edge of black hole while Dynamo had momentum away from her
Melee Lifesteal / Lifestrike is a big one
also getting T3 Uppercut
nodnod
blech, having a lot of rough matches today
not totally sure why? I think some of it is learning to farm more efficiently
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
@ivory reef @lavish grove new rosewaterjelly batcase dropped
see I think my problem might be that I jungle too much when lane ends
It's PEAK
I never know what to do, I just shove lanes or death ball with team
so I feel you
Waiter! Waiter! More yuri
Excellent waiter
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
eeeeeeeeeee
probably a function also of who I
oops
of who I run around doing jungle stuff with
mcginnis is pretty slow at doing box circuits even with enduring speed
Man people backdooring super hard in street brawl is getting so annoying
Calico is dogwater, moving on
Calico aesthetic is a banger, function makes me tired
how can you hate a character who literally never gets caught out
she gets to do shit for FREE
NO COST
$500 x NOTHING
would you rather have 1$
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
what poke are you referring to
also I am also not enjoying celeste
Leaping Slash
too squish
it's absolutely brutal once you have Spirit Strike / Snatch
17 heroes to go
Finally been yelled at over voice lmao
also how the fuck do you deal with grey talon he just flies
He also doesn't move that fast while airborne so if you're a gun-y hero you can Just Shoot Him
The Lash needs no magic carpet
Might I suggest Magic Carpet Mo and Krill
Basically, push up the lane, knock him down, or blow his head off while he chills in the easily shot zone
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
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
Big Ava sorta gives me Nasus vibes
Hundo
I think this is the best move if you're not comfortable using a microphone for ingame voice chat
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
Celeste can actually be built like a spirit bruiser if you build into spirit lifesteal and her shield
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

speaking of, another facet might be that I'm very touchy about how far I push up
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
Doorman has spoiled me for pushing up, makes Drifter and Silver get caught out even more than they already like to
if you are alone you are getting fed though
calico is a killer though so she is better roaming and grabbing boxes
Very dependent on minion position for her skills yeahhh
I don't think the Doorman would really care, unless they were like impolite hotel guests
I think in a world where werewolves and gorgons exist and are born that way, furries at the very best would seem insensitive
Hey everyone! Been updating deadlockmoves.com based on your feedback. Here's what's new:
- Box routes (recorded for Hidden King side only, as box locations are mirrored, may record Archmother side too in the future)
- Doorman ultimate escape routes - dedicated page with debuff toggles (Slowing Hex, Knockdown, Cart)
*...
door man is an equal opportunity hater. he doesn’t discriminate.

The doorman escape route bit makes me think of the game I had last night, where I put Seven stun on someone then Doorman immediately ulted them
I basically went “haha fuck that guy I guess” to myself
yessss
mirror dungeon charge with AEDD Gregor is kinda fucking nuts
this is deadlock

quick, go my Sancho
I knew Gregor was the next hero valve planned to add
He has so much potential for a kit
Yah we do need a guy for the pests of New York
It does seem we’ll get our rat rep via the new cursed shopkeep
But it’s New York baby
ratking ratking ratking
There’s way horrid things in the sewers
We need more sewer monster heroes!
Mo and Krill isn’t enough
It would
especially if you had like
giant ugly mean ass looking albino crocodile monster hero
and he just goes
"Hey Vyper"
Vyper fucking hates him because he’s such a softie
Honestly another archetype we’re kinda missing is like, a goon
We have a lot of criminals but they’re either leaders of their respective organizations
Or they’re independent contractors who have a lot of renown
"Tock, like, why are you such a bitch about everything?"
"I don't like blood. Or bruises. Or venom."
"They're not gonna hurt you, Tock, you're like eight feet tall and mostly bulletproof!"
"I don't like seeing other people hurt either..."
the crocodile hero HAS to be named Tock
Of course
Mo has the right hat at least
That’s true
…does vyper count?
Vyper is kind of a goon
She’s independent but she’s also willing to work for fucking anyone for pay
No wait yah she was one of mendoza’s for a bit
She’s a goon
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.
Spirit breaker?
aggressive mobile melee hero who Comes At You and is much better at approaching than escaping
Global phantom strike…
global pstrike but you have to spend time on a clearly telegraphed approach
He doesn’t have a gun but his gun mechanically is some acidic spit he’s got
Oh good point it’s more like global flying slash that you can’t cancel
would this enable people to Go In more foolishly and harder than ever before
yes
absolutely
that's why we should be funding it
you can cancel charge
Oh you can? Neat
yeah, sometimes you just need to get the heck out of a lane and you stop halfway to the target
Ganking blue lane by targeting the other side of the map and canceling halfway would also be a hilarious fake out
Sometimes you listen to your whole team telling you not to complete the charge on the target who's back in the base under t4 towers.
exactly
anyways I think putting that function in Deadlock would be fucking sick
MY MIND’S TELLING ME NO
I exclusively play dive heroes because pressing S is for cowards
BUT MY BOOOODYYY
And I’m no coward
also a melee initiator/brawler who isn't a surly jackass would be a good counterpoint to Billy and Abrams
they're only kinda melee
Mo is an enigma
Ah yah I missed the melee part
Mo is a shy bean who can talk and just doesn't
and has a crush on Holliday which is like
Mo...
I just saw initiator
Maurice...
Buddy...
Look I believe in him
God forbid a mole yearn
don’t worry, he knows how to help
Crime
Abandon being a cop and the guilt goes away
That’s not longer her problem
He can
I doubt the Patrons can
Probably not but they can make it way more funny
true
Datamine from the Holliday VN which isn't accessible currently
Ah okay
rat king named irving
Why Irving?
Cause that's his name
It just seems like a reference
washington irving's legend of sleepy hollow
but a headless rat king
Ahh yah that makes sense
Just noticed Sinclair has a fucking machine gun in the Jan 2025 update art
Its sevens gun
he used to have sevens gun!
it was sevens gun but it shot 3 trading cards in a burst that were really slow but hit really hard
Yah Sinclair was even more unfinished back in hero labs
He just had all of seven’s animations
Instead of now where he still mostly has seven’s animations
🔍
That’s capacitor
agree
I don't know why the camera is like that
<@&1277035919182008330> Its Wednesday night deadlock in an hour and a half. im not gonna make it tonight but dont let that stop yall if the spirit takes ye
Man every sb match just always has vibdicta huh
they only let me play haze in sb
I dont always see them
hmm, Spirit Breaker would be really effective against Vindicta...
spirit breaker charge doorman
so maybe the issue with McGinnis isn't that I'm doing a bad job but she's just not good lmao
did you build gun or for turrets?
the latter, my aim is not good
tbf the tracklock builds say spirit is the better way to build her
it feels like I have basically no lane presence and I have to pray that either my lane partner is smart enough to play it slow or the enemies are kinda dumbasses
I accidently Apollo

It's been long enough to change the title
ban her!!!
#freevindicta
was there a recent deadlock update?
hotfix because someone bug abused on a tourney
The team was blatantly using an exploit that allowed for additional soul generation in lane phase to secure a massive advantage during the challenger match. The team has been disqualified from tonights finals with Leviathan being given their spot.
Incredibly scummy behavior to hold onto an exploit like this and use it right as the prize pool fo...
Very funny allchat in hindsight
the 890 mole in question
she really shines as an ult build right now
Think I need to adjust more to the idea of delaying power spikes and buying the green items I need to survive a rough lane
Played a game last night where I just got ran over by a Mina/Haze lane where I should’ve sucked it up and bought Spirit Shielding
But I got hung up on the idea of going active and killing her early instead, and got ran over and died repeatedly
braw really is great to learn characters
tried lady geist for the first time and she is nasty, did get allot of enhanced items though
Geist is indeed nasty
silver build.
I made this, I am slightly confused because it seems extremely strong
and I don't really know why?
express shot isn't very good IMO
you need the burst to get your ult up fast
Silver is p much the exception for Express Shot but not everyone seems to enjoy
I'm a big fan
Express Shot is such a weird item
I think it's probably just Stalker being really good.
Doesn't really feel like it fits on any heroes that well
I think it's just not a good item really?
Like if it should be good on anyone it should be good on Silver
but I don't think it's really better than PB on her?
I think I'm getting that from Stalker + Surge on Boot Kick
Express Shot into Slam Fire just kind of murders people
Some people survive
express shot isn't relevant to that. I think it's probably best to not stack them?
You express and then slam
It's just her per shot damage ia so high, but you don't like have to build it
Does p much proc Toxic Bullets
slamfire does tooo
I should try toxic over PB sometimes
PB builds out of close range though which is very nice.
...wait, why doesn't express shot work while tf'd?
No ammo to consume
ah, that makes sense i guess.
Presumably
It's the one downside
But still gun damage etc etc
And wolf dps doesn't need a ton of help
I'll experiment with express shot & toxic over pb. Because of how good Stalker is I don't think I actually need Close Quarters for early game.
I dont miss the days of express shot viscous and Yamato killing me instantly so probably for the best its a middling item
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
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
truth nuke
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
what's the trick
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
he was the prime kidnapper until the gingers Attacked

the madman
epowga must be stopped
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
nyan
we're so back baby
this doesnt seem right.. where is the goldlewis dickinson
so his ult is just a orbital?
I don’t think they’ll be added any time soon but like, I feel like deadlock is due for aliens like, 5 years into its lifetime
Or at least a character themed around UFO sightings
That’s stuff so 50s-60s themes it’s crazy
Gotta dip more into 30s-40s pulp horror and adventure
Where's our Hollow Earth character?
Oh wait we already have a Mole Man
Shit
Pocket is like a miniature enby Goldlewis
Goldlewis has the UMA coffin, Pocket has the briefcase
they're both in shockingly similar positions of Hating The Power but also Being The Power at the same time, Pocket is just on the run from their family
I don't really think that parallel fits that well
Pocket was born into power and then someone attempted to kill them, presumably for their discomfort with the family business
nonbinary twink goldlewis
they both have magic portable trunks that produce wack shit that they fight with
sue me
Goldlewis is at the result of making a career out of it, but is now disillusioned with what he does
ginnis has the minigun, autonomous weapons and striking projectiles from above, but doesnt even have a metered reversal
you know
volvo pls fix
that fucking drone could be a Deadlock spell
just put Faust in the game
street doctor Faust, bag on head, emergency wheelchair delivery service
Some sort of creepy medical professional would fit well
the Thunderbird is actually a devious poke, imagine a spell that just produces the ominous orb that slowly flies to its target and then explodes, but if you run into The Orb it beats your ass
But honestly, if you wanna pull Deadlock concepts from a fighting game? Skullgirls
that's more like Dark Angel really but Dark Angel would be heat
I still like my idea of Baker, who's a half-gingerbreadman bricklayer/baker
Asuka r kreuz
black dahlia in deadlock 😋
so like, Bebop is gonna have to get remodeled to Big Band eventually right
Is basically a moba character already
invoker on the laaaane
Black Dahlia is a monstrosity (affectionate) and putting her in Deadlock would be to the detriment of all mankind (it would be sick)
You could replace Black Dahlia in this sentence with half the Skugs cast
no no no, Abrahms is the one being turned into Big Band
see like, I don't think you could really spring for the parasite characters, Parasoul's kind of overlapped by Mina, Valentine would be funny I guess, Beowulf is overlapped by Lash, Eliza...
I mean shit I'm always down for She Who Mauls
funny ass character
but Black Dahlia actually fits the aesthetic and setting AND is a gunwoman
I could see Eliza too tbh
Parasoul and Mina both have umbrellas but otherwise very different vibes
I do agree that Black Dahlia and Big Band are the best fits tho
Chat, what are we thinking is in pocket’s case?
Rn I think it’s either the second plague of Egypt or the horseman of pestilence
That’s true
this is why its frog
Very true

I vibe with most of the cast, and the ones I don't are just not my kind of character
for example I liked Victor and Geist but I'm not good at judging self damage charactgers
as a Geist enjoyer: you gotta get realllll OK with some gnarly situations especially early
sometimes Geist has to chill at 1 HP and wait for her guardian to fry her a heal trooper
I'm normally a support player in other games, so characters like Paige, Ivy, Dynamo, Mo & Krill, Rem call to me
conversely, Geist at 1HP is secretly one of the scariest fucking characters in the game
Lash is hilarious but I don't have the movement tech required to make him properly scary
something I think is extremely funny is intentionally letting my HP get low, running to a juke closet, and then seeing if someone comes after me
Infernus is just busted
if they do they're gonna fucking die
Hollow earth caveman
Let me put Milwaukee in the game
viscous w
I love grumpy cat Victor
What. The. Hell.
51.2k gun investment
Literally only shooting items
You do realize metal skin and Disarm disables almost all of his items?
the only thing metal skin would not be affected by is capacitor
Is Haze the only one associated with the US government?
well holiday is a cop right
Holliday is a sheriff but that's not federal
oh right yeah you have that distinction
he can just tag along to survive
a skill on a 20 second cooldown in which he cant do anything because he has no actives or heal his teammates
with no real defensive item aside from weighted shot and vamp burst, which dont work if he cant shoot

I literally fought that last week
Rem had to go unstop because I was mo and my metal skin+disarm+pocket sand made him a sitting duck
and I was still unbothered because he didnt bothered to get any on hit damage effects like toxic bullets
Oh woe is us the meme build is stopped by metal skin
I thought it was a question of how you counter that
No?
It's showing a video of someone putting 51k investment shooting on a character who doesn't usually get it, it's a funny sight but absolutely no one was taking it seriously
McGinnis is through contracting
She's more privately owned and the business is contracted out, but how much you want to seperate Fairfax and the government is... an uncomfortable question
It could be argued, I will give you that
mcginnis is associated with the us government the same way lockheed-martin is, which is to say very
which is again that lovely question of "how seperate are these entities" and the answer might surprise you
(it's a bullet, they don't like those questions)
Fairfax used to own a state
Like, they're very very associated with the US government
And they view not owning a state to be a temporary set back more so than a new status quo
Honestly I'd say even more so
I think they're closer to RAND
Mixed with Lockheed
since rand started as a coop between douglas and Usaf
Whatever Fairfax’s government ties are they do seem to want to separate them atm
With how they’re trying to buy create an island so they no longer have to operate in the US
Maximilian seems to want to make his own nation
No wait I forgot that was in the past, Candeza is just the 50th state now
does rebuttal stack with counterspell? like if i have both and parry an ability that isnt normally parriable does the target take the ability damage
No
yea that makes sense + it would be kinda crazy if it did
I am so lonely. All of my teammates are ignoring me. No one dives with me. No one wants to be my lane partner. They think I am low skill. They send me from lane to lane to commit ults in their name. And as I get better at it, they buy more and more spirit res. I am a victim of my own success. Affliction. I don't even get a real name, only a purp...
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
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.
I've taken it upon me to make every haze I lane against miserable
i had 6 games in a row against haze last night. It's fucking exhausting
I really like her aesthetically and characterization wise! I just don't want to play her in her current state really.
hopefully they poke her again and make her cool
though I think I have trouble playing characters who aren't Silver because Silver is just really fun
I like playing current Haze. Early and mid gun show and then transitioning into more ult focus is fun
i thought the same thing picking up lash after I one tricked Vic for 50 hours
but lash clicked immediately
he's super fun in sb
but I'm still learning him right now I still average lowest souls on my team when I'm lash
I'm kinda a coward and have been struggling to get picks
but I'm never dead and my macro is great because I end with like 20+ assists
lash is just great
this happens when you're playing for allies I think
like showing up to fights all the time I mean
Lash is great at showing up to fights too.
he struggles a bit with clearing camps though
ya it's super easy to get from point a to b
I'm thinking of getting cultists on him early
Ground Strike is decent against a bunch of camps at least. And he can clear t1s really quick with ground strike -> flog, though the flog angle nerf makes that less hard
so I can keep up
would be fine probably, Lash likes range & can buy Transcendent reasonably.
I am not the biggest fan of cultist on him but I can see it
cultist + SSB or Mystic Shot as your gun 4800 is probably fine.
I don't buy cultist much so I don't know if this is actually correct, but the things I immediately think about with Cultist are 'does this character like Ability Range' and 'Can this character buy Transcendent Cooldown or Duration'
that tracks
I mean idk if she is tbh
Her gun is kinda weirdly lackluster
Shes more of “mostly just annoying til she drops a beefed up ult on you and instantly wipes ur team”
and I make it worse by throwing rusted barrel at her and being the lane bully
She absolutely needs to have items taken from her during the ult like basically evetyone else lmao
Her gun's base stats are weak but fixation makes it deal tons of damage
Its ridiculous that shes like
and she rushes toxic bullets because I'm Vic
One of if not the only characters who can use items during a channel ult
True
I think the only part of her kit i dont really get is smoke bomb
Its There I Guess
good ambush, good get away
used to be better when the knife was a nuclear bomb
now the knife is just more get away
or you'd use it to set up for ult, which I agree is the keystone of her kit rn
I'd rather play vyper tbh
dang I should pick vyper back up
it's just generally good for movement
Am I wrong in that smoke bomb and Ava feel like the same move
no tunnels tho
T3 Smoke is also a cleanse though, or it was? Not sure if that was lost in the patch :|a
kind of
i miss victors cleanse 😔
I think it's neat that his counterplay works now
wdym?
Can't just remove all the antiheal you build 4x times
He still feels preeetty potent
depends but ya
it's not as over as I thought it was
I've been playing him super aggressive lately. I build gun early and the pressure is constant.
Hilariously ive actually had to back off on my aggression
I used to just turn on 3 and get in peoples faces for extended periods of time just spamming 2 but uh
Yeah that kills you now lmao
You can no longer 1v4
with 42 funny bullets in your gun you can still do this while shredding their resist and not killing yourself
until you want to I guess
my team won my victor game because everyone treated me like I was a nuclear bomb
but I was actually coughing baby
Like, we would team fight and everyone would just fucking dogpile me, twice
But jokes on them, I had nothing
then my team would slaughter them
Sometimes that's a very valid role to play
find solace in becoming the cool down creature
Sometimes a team really locks onto you and youre like
What
Why
Stop it
This isnt even good for you guys
I’ve never experienced that because focusing on me is always the correct choice by the enemy team
sometimes u need a sacrificial lamb
big vic the initiator
If a team spends 6 ults on me before half my teammates even arrive, that's a win for me
and then someone roots half of them so they can't escape your rez and it becomes a massacre
look
I'm talking absolute bloodbath, you get back up and starting swinging at the closest fool who thought you were free
Big Vic jumping in and getting nuked to start a fight is kinda like the heat seeking Paradox missile
i thought that was GTs thing
GT has the missile
Paradox is the missile
it's a common joke that Paradox is liable to get herself killed jumping into a teamfight and ulting in return for the lives of several enemy team members
i thought that was the bit but paradox is a total enigma to me
Her kit is so strange
they do lots of things
Theyre good at shuffleboard :3
what is REM's bodega haul?
oh right the game is in NY I gotta talk about bodegas all the time while playing
and how good they are
forgot about that
he had a helper grab a ringpop on the sly
started playing mirage today, he feels genuinely ignorant to play
i just teleport around for macro fire out into a crowd with ricochet and someone just dies randomly
i still feel like im not bad, but in shitelo hell and cant get out
welcome to alch 5
- Haze: Bullet Dance targeting is no longer a full radius around the hero, but instead is a cone in the direction you are aiming
HE'S DONE MIRACLES ON ME
patch??
[ General ]
-
Parrying is now allowed while ground dashing in order to bring it in-line with air dashing
-
Parry anti mash protection previously would last for 0.25s after the parry success (so you couldn't parry again for that duration). It is now for 0.25s only after the initial parry input...
petch
patch!!!
- Express Shot: Secondary Fire Weapon Damage increased from 35% + 1%/boon to 40% + 1.3%/boon
STOP IT
STOP IT
YaAy they heard us talking about it
Solid oof on Silence Wave
Also fuck Doorman I guess
He's not allowed to damage he's not allowed to cart people
He has no win rate competitive presence or niche
Pretty heavy nerfs to Haze ult
haze no longer reloegated to jerking off in the jungle all game and then appearing to press 4
praise the lord
silence wave nerf is deserved
I also think doorman cart having some counterplay is good
damn I was getting a lot of mileage out of silence wave yesterday
let's go
I'm okay with the combo having counterplay if he's allowed to do literally anything else
tmag my beloved
tons of interesting changes,,, melee dam on bop hand?
Self Damage Bop
also yeah i like doorman but i think he deserves to be something other than joechuck kidnap bot
What could Yoshi mean by this?
- Holliday: Various behavior and feel improvements to her gun
stat and typo fixes
hollidays evil fucking gun is less evil now
They added one more texture to it
I'm joke but same
tragic
Tiny Geist Nerf.. needs more but I accept
One day she'll have a downside or weak time again
It's a buff to her gun damage at 23+ boons
Well
- Victor: Shocking Reanimation now applies a heavy diminishing slow immediately when you die
something... familiar about this
THE YOUR KING IS HERE
I can't believe Mirage Ult is staying like it is
Hopefully these changes remove Victor from his "worst hero in the game" status
Probably not, but I can hope
teleports behind you
unsheathes bug
Does this again every 30 seconds forever
🙂↕️
Maybe time to put stock in a third character..
you need at least 3 characters to queue you ruffian
The devs have a specific illness that prevents noticing Vexing Bolt
Sinclairs greatest ruse
only hoopoe is allowed to develop Sinclair and hes been busy
I wonder who besides Silver has built Express Shot..
They buffed it just for her since they're nerfing Silence Wave, awful kind
Pretty sure the express shot buff is only for chars with an alt-fire, ie. Viscous and Yamato
goo gunner will one day return
Oh wait Shiv too
Don't bring this curse upon everyone
theyre like wow! this express shot alt fire stuff sucked! lets get rid of that
but what if there was a little of it. just a bit. hehe
I don't know if I've seen anyone build Return Fire
Express shot altfire damage went from 125% (same as primary) to 75% (first nerf) to 45-80% to 35-70% and now 40-85%
ohh it's just secondary fire, I'm fool
nooo i have to aim as haze
It's a decent tech item for tanky characters, I've gotten some cheeky kills with it against Hazes and Infernuses who don't pay attention and shred themselves
But I also think the item is generally weak at the moment
Metal skin and just killing with your own damage is preferable
everything is coming up vyper
apparently it sucks less
like
it fires faster, shoots straighter, feels better to use etc.
needed that
does feel better
still looks silly
i think the bullet trail is bigger. feels more impactful
It could have a bigger bullet hitbox, I know that's not equal between different guns
seems right i'm aiming well above abrams head and still getting the headshot
chat we might be cooked🥀🥀🥀/lh
Mirage not going so good?
n o p e
Character is kinda weird
As always Mirage do be the character with the 4 best abilities in the game and the caveat that they uh
Have questionable synergy
that is true
only thing ifl is synergistic is the tornado allowing u to land stuff easier
Like there’s a vague handwave gesture towards “he clowns on other gun carries maybe?”
You throw the beetles at em and make the fight favorable for you, you use the dust devil to become bulletproof, you stack up Djinn’s Mark the whole time and then you ditch
yea i need to remember to use the beetles to initiate
bad habit of using them once im alr in trouble
all the same tho, i think ill try another character first (that makes mcginnis lash and mirage attempted)
Tornado also gives survivability in form of bullet evasion, so also don't save it until you're 1 hp
this poor victor bought rebuttal first item because i was laning against him as abrams
and then never successfully parried me all game
oh
well my victor was pretty ok
he feels pretty good after the tweaks
gun is even more viable
get you a berserker
thought about it but being able to shoot forever is too good to pass up
slide, baby
Patch!
Haze Ult is a cone now and doesnt give evasion
Ah but its on her t3 now
Instead of the extra target
i tried out the haze ult and holy it got taken outb ack and shot
Haze ult got taken out back and put down
Isnt it technically better because you can ult now a specific person rather than be forced to share around the damage?
its probably a buff overall
but does change its role a lot
its more assassinny and less farm to ricochet and try wipe groups
u can theoretically still get groups w/ it but yeag much more single-target

This haze ult change is great for the game, but man if they’re keeping it they gotta rework her animation
It looks so dumb now lol
Spinning around shooting in all directions but if you stand behind her you’re unaffected
They probably will at some point
I mean you have bullet evasion on t3
if they make a pre and she swaps to one or the other depending on level it still fits
I would guess they'll change it if they commit to it
Would be a bit of a waste to make a complicated animation for a test idea that's tossed out
I Def would say it's not a buff even with more power in her other stuff
Yes you have more control but losing the extra target again is a massive loss of DPS mid and esp late
Yah probably. It’s why I mentioned that if they commit to it
Oh god the update made it so Yamato can slide while using power slash
She could do that before!
You mean when you dash into power slash and keep the momentum?
Or literal slide
The literal slide
She can move like she’s sliding while charging power slash
So she can do things like take corners while charging it
Huh
so she can drift in slopes?
Yah
isnt it still better for her to be on the air?
She can also now use grapple cancels to move like 40 meters while charging power slash
pretty sure that was a thing before
That she could do before yea
The caption is a little catastrophizing but this is the only video I could find documenting this change right now
I’m like 90% sure yamato was not capable of this before
Oh damm
what the fuck?
Ye nevermind
honestly now I dont know if its going to be better or worse for her to stay in the air or in the ground
Holiday feels a lot better with this gun fix
I think she still needs heavy tweaking
What’d they change?
Make her gun not doodoo ass as much
let me find the actual explanations
fires faster, arcs less, recoils less, spreads less, bigger bullets and more accurate to the reticle
Comment by u/Lesterux:
what i gathered from here:
- increased bullet velocity by 1.8x (635 -> 1160)
- removed bloom for first shot (i think)
- increased continuous fire bloom by 4x (i think)
- halved the vertical recoil
- increased recoil recovery by 1...
I think she became like, the second fastest gun in game rn
I have no idea if this is going to help her viability because it doesnt seem like they did actual changes to her damage
she had 600 velocity before?
geist I think its one of the fastest guns btw
Yeah the 600 was rough
I mean the rate of fire changes are just a DPS boost aren’t they?
damn, I would not have expected that
yes but Holliday is not a M1 hero
It makes it significantly easier to access crackshot
still wonder why Venator for some reason has like twice the velocity of almost everyone else
bullet velocity, not fire rate
bullet velocity is bullet speed
yup, geist was the second fastest gun up until now
venator's gun is generally weird
Ahhh I misread
Oh wow Venator's M1 is almost hitscan compared to most of the cast
Venator in general is a bizarro motherfucker
I think he was designed around old weighted shots
yeah it's crazy how much faster his bullets are compared to everyone
That lowered bullet velocity
But now that it doesn’t it’s just sorta a laser beam
even with old Weighted Bullets, he only went down to like 1.1k
he kinda comes across as your first M1 carry to learn the game with?
at least in first shot
like
Yah true
I don't think Venator works as baby's first M1 champ any more than Wraith or Haze do
He's just a brawler version of it
hmm
I actually think Venator is a tiny bit harder than Wraith to play
Without a mobility ability, yeah
