hope this helps

kindred swift
#

That means your teammates were playing for his team

finite plume
#

To be fair, the fact that Drifter isn't the kind of character you can out maneuver in mid/late game and instead are supposed to outplay him by shutting down his power spike... Being 10K ahead of him and still getting stat checked should raise some alarms

#

Therein lies the problem with Drifter

#

Other stack heroes only get benefit from one ability

#

Drifter gets power across the board

real gulch
#

Idk why we not getting new patch

finite plume
#

His 3 & 4 need full reworks IMO

real gulch
#

I feel like ppl already maxed out this meta

finite plume
#

They're both extremely unfun, toxic abilities

finite plume
real gulch
#

I guess I will take the break then

#

Overall I will play this game more rarely till they fix matchmaking

finite plume
#

Dirfter doesn't really have a sensible kit, he's really just a bunch of stuff that doesn't synergize with each other

#

And he doesn't really have builds either, you just get some weapon damage and hold left click

real gulch
#

Yea some kits doesnt make sense

finite plume
real gulch
#

Like vyper or mirage

finite plume
#

I have a really consistent performance that statlocker estimates should be around high ritualist/low emissary, but I'm still not even ranked alchemist and play in seeker lobbies

#

So my games are a mixed bag of hardstucks and literal lobotomites

real gulch
#

Rank doesnt mean shit in this game

finite plume
#

I mean it determines who you match with and against

real gulch
#

U can play against 700 games alchemist guy who is fairly decent

#

While u can get some 40 games dog with 0 macro

finite plume
#

Yeah because the game doesn't properly increase your mmr

real gulch
#

Sometimes even when I watch eternus streamers im like

finite plume
#

Or at least not quickly enough

real gulch
#

"are those really best guys in the game?"

finite plume
#

I mean rank is at the very least a little bit more reliable than Vive's lol

#

The distribution is at least appropriate

#

But yeah I don't know how the game handles mmr/rank adjustments, cuz it is really slow

real gulch
#

It is bad

#

On reddit

#

1/3 of posts are about terrible matchmaking

finite plume
#

Yeah it is admittedly kinda fucked

#

And Deadlock really is a game determined by the weakest link

sick patio
finite plume
#

No.

sick patio
#

its like a league player complaining about master yi

finite plume
#

It really isn't

sick patio
#

ur right

finite plume
#

Drifter has been consistently performing high across all rank ranges

sick patio
#

this game u can buty disarming hex

#

yea hes op asf

finite plume
#

You can buy disarming hex against anyone.

#

So can the enemy team.

sick patio
#

thats literally my point

urban widget
#

Play mo krill

#

Blink

#

😉

finite plume
#

"No one is OP because you can do X" is a statement of unmeasurable temperature

urban widget
#

He cant play

finite plume
#

In a game with as many intersectioning mechanics as Deadlock

sick patio
#

what are u even yapping abouty

finite plume
#

This is the problem with Valve shills

#

You just can't argue with them because any criticism you have about any of their games is an exercise in futility

real gulch
#

I mean drifter is not that bad

#

He's just snowbally

#

And a lot of ppl hate heros like this

#

I would say mokrill is way more problematic

finite plume
#

Snowbally characters are annoying to deal with for the majority of players because they require an amount of full-map oppression that needs team coordination to pull off

#

You need to beat them in lane and you have to counter jungle and stop them from splitpushing (and since they're often good duelists it requires a precise balance) and you need to coordinate item counters

#

Nah

crimson pond
#

Buy a counter item problem solved

real gulch
#

Hes too tanky

#

Deal too much dmg

crimson pond
#

buy resist shred problem solved

real gulch
#

Disarmed + point n click CC

finite plume
#

I mean you can say the same about Dynamo, but Dynamo doesn't get to just stay in his lane for free

#

Even being tanky is fine if you could whittle him out of lane

#

But he just heals too much

#

Problem is that he has both

static bear
#

Just bc a character has a counter doesnt mean they arent op/degenerate/poorly designed

#

All 4 of those things are independent of each other

static bear
#

Bc it just becomes "u can counter it tho" or "just go play league"
And i say ok and play league anyway cause clearly it aint changing xd

finite plume
#

I remember popping into the Deadlock community server to talk about Billy/Victor/Drifter and most repliers were some flavor of "skill issue/you suck/you noob/git gud"

#

That was the patch where the 3 of them peaked at like 56%+ w/r

static bear
#

Its how i feel trying to talk abt doorman
Probably one of my favorite characters conceptually, and one of the most frustrating to play as practically
Large parts of his kit feel clunky or buggy
Or feel like they lack synergy with other parts of his kit

#

And like yea sure im not great at doorman, but imo you shouldnt have to be good to enjoy the game
Lotta league players enjoy league even when they're ass, but i dont feel this in deadlock

#

Mo and Krill are pretty anti fun. But I feel they are designed to be the "No fun allowed" anti carry type

#

them being too tanky is a fair assessment though

#

Think they got the headshot dmg reduc as well

real gulch
#

bruh I just watched

#

few games of eternus gameplay

#

on twitch

#

and this shit is sad

#

how this game is easy when everyone know how to macro 101

crimson pond
#

autumn sigil
#

i genuinely feel bad for johnny first game's first ranked game

#

i played a solo game, like no teammates, recently on my alt

#

and got second place with 19 kills

crimson pond
#

well luckily for you im not talking about supervive

autumn sigil
#

yeah i know you werent thats why i said "thats how supervive is"

#

🙂

crimson pond
#

autumn sigil
#
