hell yeah
never played half life
if anyone wants ot play iam down for it most of the tiume
ohh 
Last night I played three games, and in all three I had a teammates who ended up 0/8 if they were lucky
The worst, I think, ended up like 1/15
diabolical
did he atleast assisted the team?
cuz when i play ivy i usually go 0/5/15
- The 10% move speed slow from taking damage is now a 20% slow only for the portion over the hero's base move speed
- Move Speed bonuses now stack diminishingly
- Base move speed reduced by 0.1 (except for heroes lower than 6.5)
- Heroes with move speed spirit scaling have the values reduced by...
@stuck turret @normal marsh you have gotta see this
6 sevens
holy shit
its massive
I FUCKING LOVE DEADLOCKS ARTSTYLE RAAARGH
so silly
Can someone please explain what the fuck just happened with my game?

or is it bait
it would be cool if twas real
looks like bait
welcome back, King in Yellow

Deadlock is an upcoming MOBA Hero Shooter developed by Valve. The game is currently in early alpha, and is ...
Rem got released first
its so over gravers
HIDDEN Rem animation in-game (LORE ACCURATE, REAL.)

@silk flint
I didn't know this was a channel
this is a real dialogue
they reduced scaling on bomb and now charas can get banned so i dont mind it that much
🚨NEW DEADLOCK UPDATE JAN 30TH🚨
︀︀
︀︀Hero bans, Unique Street Brawl balancing, Debuff Remover is now 'Dispel Magic', and more.
︀︀
︀︀- 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 does not affect new heroes in the initial release window.
︀︀
︀︀- Parties of 3+ players now need to have an additional hero in their roster (from 3 to 4)
︀︀
︀︀- Fire Rate increases and reductions from most abilities and items are reduced globally by a small amount
︀︀
︀︀- Updated various on bullet hit resistance reduction debuffs to apply increased damage for subsequent hits rather than initial hit (similar to the spirit damage proc cases)
︀︀
︀︀- Added Dash Speed to the Vitality stat screen…
Might be the greatest clip I've seen

I've discovered Tank/Witchmail Bebop and oh my god bro
True DOTA experience
SILVER
million pfp's
The new hero Silver's abilities:
︀︀Slam Fire: Reload your gun and gain bonus fire rate & weapon damage based on the target's health.
︀︀Boot Kick: Dash forward and kick the first enemy, dealing melee damage and marking them. Shooting the marked enemy deals bonus damage.
︀︀Entangling Bola: Throw a bola dealing spirit damage and disabling movement for caught heroes.
︀︀Lycan Curse: Dealing damage builds up bloodlust, instantly activating when max bloodlust is achieved. Cast to transform, gaining health, movespeed and fire rate. Your abilities are replaced with ferocious versions.
︀︀
︀︀Go For The Throat: Deal melee damage to all enemies in front of you, healing for a portion of the damage dealt.
︀︀Mauling Leap: Leap forward, mauling the first enemy hit for melee damage and applying spirit bleed.
︀︀Tail Whip: Slash enemies around you, dealing spirit damage and applying disarm and slow.
omg
she deals so much damage
comically large ground strike
this sounds like a sex joke
new character pretty cool
adding true damage is gonna open the gates to a lot of shit tho
but rn theres def too much resistance stackers so maybe itll help short term. just worried about it being added to future characters kits
yeah
Technically Mo has true damage
3 does 40 true damage
fair, the only thing i knew that did true dmg was geist ult
His charged melee being true damage on wall splat with his 2 is mental
Also neat having an Irish character
got deleted from game
they currently have a bug where buying sharpshooter on him does 5x dmg with his ult
meaning he will just 1 shot
lmao
blew minas head smooove off
Deadlock will be the only game where people will want to be stuck in Silver

Do you have any guides to recommend to get started with?
@grim roost
like game in general or silver specifically?
there are lots of non aiming charas that u can ease in the game with
do u have a preferred playstyle?
Not really. I guess I was a support main in most of MOBAs, so there's that.
Even if I don't really like playing them and tanks by now, I think that's the best choice for start.
Abrams, MoKrill, Geist are all pretty easy tanks
Rem is the easy support
Graves is a non aim subDPS-esque chara
Thanks
venator vs lash #deadlock #deadlockfanart
QRT: golira__
This but its Lash vs Venator
bro theres matchmaking for street brawl? ive only played street brawl on my smurf and it got placed in oracle
RIP
lmao
matchmaking ranks are a joke and should not be acknowledged
true, used to be low eternus/high ascendant and they still place you in oracle/phantom lobbies which sucked
but this smurf was specifically to play with friends who are newer to the game and there is a difference between oracle and seeker lmao
i forgot how i hate team games
me and my friend were mid and were doing well but then the rem wanted to switch cause they were losing yellow
but then we just ended up losing mid
so i hate how you gotta trust that your team is good enough to go through with the plan they make
we would've lost mid sooner or later but i was already way up souls and switching lanes didn't do anything so i don't get it
I don't know
like dude im not gonna be the play maker here
when i play i basiclly do my own thing and only pitch in if someone is in voice chat organizing
but i always assume thta i dotn have my teammates support and operate with thta in mind
but then again i dont play support
nah i was playing infernus
if it was ow or marvel rivals it would be easier to work together
but idk for deadlock
kind of feels like i gotta atleast care about the one person in my lane
but its hard to work with them if they don't want to mic
or type
or ping
pick a hypercarry like haze or mina then. if you do well, snowball your lead and impact the map as much as you can (counterjungling, fighting for neutral objs or walkers, etc)
also if your team is doing bad, theres a shitton of comeback mechanics like the urn that can fix it, esp if you are fed on a hypercarry
but the game is basically ur responsibility atp, so if you throw ur lead away or just dont perform well on the carry charas then you fuck ur chances since you will have majority of the souls
So try and pick seven then?
i think hes a shit main carry but hes a good 2nd carry
Venator?
Idk I just don’t think haze or Mina are my kind of characters
If there’s truly no other way to actually win then I’ll just thug it out on the characters I play
tbh i havent played with him in the main gamemode so idk. If I were to guess, he'd fall more into a 2nd carry chara as well since he lacks engage/disengage tools so he cant really make any huge risky plays
but rn hes overtuned as hell so hes prob a good hypercarry until hes nerfed
which im expecting to happen
u can have a high winrate with any chara tbh. game impact doesnt always = hypercarry who 1v6s entire team
I have 88% winrate on abrams on a smurf and 60%+ winrate on lash on my main and both of em arent hypercarries, but they initiate and make plays that can be very impactful to iwnning or losing
Apolo lost
Celeste has a unique movement buff being the only hero in deadlock with lower gravity and increased air control. It makes it possible to bunny hop to an insane degree!

lmao indeed
holly shit celestes movement fills so good
and this is post nerf too isnt it
oh ok than iam dumb
she has the same air control as holiday on jumpad
bhoping fills very jeneros on here
i should run around with her in sandbox to finally learn air strafing
so like Dota
Tfw your #1 sucks (it's over)
havent played much dota but basically. Tho you arent guaranteed hypercarry charas in deadlock since theres no draft, so someone like a rem might have all the gold and will need to basically carry the team

so true
i used to get red envelopes from some close family friends
and my grandpa loved putting chinese new year decorations on his christmas tree

time to play the game
i wonder how they will come to conclusion which play was the most impactful
the program i mean
i hope its like in other games where everyone has one but the best one is shown
so we can get clips of people's best clips being just farming
🔥
i cant wait to see the pog be a 0-18 dyno ulting 5 and no one dying
chekc if you got teammates nearby
i dont play that dog ass character who do you think i am
i miss an entire wraith drum, merc mag, then miss an entire drum an a half (i slide)
@grim roost wanna coach my deadlock game
playing with blender rn
wnna join?
in game chat
sounds good
ok wait, give me a minute
yk
theres "frankenstein", vampires, werewolf(s), slime monsters, mole people, ghosts
im thinking of more old time-y myths so they'll probably do an invisible man at some point
and they might make the troubadour a jack the ripper style character
but thats a bit older
jekyll and hyde character, a sea monster to maybe expand on the deep, ufo's and aliens
kinda have thta with drifter
@grim roost deadlock?
u still down?
Sorry I was at work/still am
Maybe tomorrow or around 11:30 if you’re still down
all g mb for taking an hour to respond lmao
ulting werewolf silver as doorman is never not funny
its just mental busywork without the mod
just look at ui right now
a lot of it was implemented from the ui mod
deadlock?
you still on?
Woops fell asleep
how bout now
yeah
trooper wave after being stuck for 10 min
It looks like the smiling friends wizard episode lol
Welp...
(Got access on Thursday, games been a lot of fun aside from this
)
i would have given it to you like a year ago if id known you wanted in
who left first?
you can see who left based on souls
bro left wave 1 lol
The game's been on my radar for a while, but I've not had much interest in playing until recently. I watched a couple videos on a whim and it looked like a lot of fun.
Dam
i will say, do not play 6s without a friend
solo q is insane
Nah it's fine
Well i don't give a fuck
It's been fine for me so far. The Disconnect match was the only loss I have at the moment.
Though I'll keep that in mind 
Anyone you like playing as so far
Vindicta, Rem and Celeste are my 3 favourites so far
Paige, Venator, Graves and Mina are pretty cool as well
i only solo q
alright how do I start learning this game
I played like 5 years of league (badly) so I think I have the basic moba fundamentals but I ain't know shit-all else
You're a great friend, john. I will always visit your garage when I need brake pads. But that doesn't mean I want to lane with you.

............wait, do you not stack waves in this game????
always push wave in this game
they removed stacking/frezing waves in deadlock
minions do a shit ton of dmg in lane if you dont kill them, no jungler to worry about ganking, and towers are significantly weaker since you can parry them to disable
so push and be aggro
Also dont push without troopers cuz then the enemy troopers will focus you insted of your troopers
and they do a ton of damage in lane phase
okay so I just got my ass annihilated after watching that video and playing the tutorial I somehoww think I know less about the game than I did beforehaand
what are souls
how do I heal
good to know!
gold
in league you could set a wave up close to your side with a slight numerical advantage, build a giant horde of minions, and send it towards the enemy in a way wher ethey either go address it RIGHT NOW or it takes down a tower
hse zipline to get to base or build items to do so
also, in each wave theres one healing minion(with a flag) that drops a healing orb when killed
it heals more depending on how much missing HP u have
but in laning phase, you can build items like healing rite, regen, restorative shot, etc to sustain lane
okay so I maybe forgot you can buy items until the last 90 seconds of the match,
I would hop on but i am form EU
I think if I had to play this game alongside and against people who frfr knew what they were doing rn I would uninstall it
have u tried the street brawl gamemode? that mode helps you learn how to fight, lets you learn about each items, etc
some people learn how to play mechanically before they focus on learning macro like farming, rotating, etc
I've heard its like aram in LoL
learning in the main mode is obviously fine too
basically, main difference is you gst to choose uour character in deadlockbut most of it is the same afterwards
I HATE ARAM
I HAAAAAAAAAATE ARAM
lmfao fair
But oyu can choose who to play
"it's constant teamfighting, so you can't do the fun laning stuff!"
I suppose
I like managing waves, I like pushing minions, I like coming in from unconventional angles
I do not like playing Overwatch
still trying to figure out who I wanna play, lotta this cast seems pretty awesome
try graves or haze if you havent already
my one match I played I hit random and it gave me yamato and I learned I do not want to play yamato
SHIIIINNNNNNGG
graves is the splitpusher sidelaner and haze does everything u described as well
trying to get a graves game eventually, I LOVE yorick
THROWING A SLEEP DAGGER DOES NOT BREAK INVISIBILITY YOU SAY!!!!!
SAY NO MORE!
in character select, there should be a token in the top middle that guarantees any character you want once
you get it recharged by just playing the game
YO HAZE IS SICK TY
shes a fan fav lol, very fun
is spirit damage just magic/ability damage?
If you want we can hop on bot match and i can teach you how to play
yea but some abilities scale off gun damage still
now that I will not be playing yamato and will remember to buy items and know that headshots do in fact to extra damage, I cannot possibly play worse than my previous match
yeah, it's AD/AP split
and spirit can increase other aspects of abilities
there's no third damage type I assume unless it's like, true damage equivalent?
like haze ult duration is increased off of spirit, but damage is from gun
there is true damage on some charas
this is what I'm working with rn
venator and geist are the two main people for it
anyone good to play if you're dog shit at aiming? lmao
i personally play all those charas as well (other than graves)
and melee damage/resistance is also 50% of gun damage/resistance
lady geist, graves, lash, dynamo, victor, celeste
she's a goth necromancer so I had to
also yorick
love yorick
theres more but those popped out more to me
very disappointing to have got a character I was interested in and get locked out
its super easy to win lanes with her
glad to know MOBA players transcend games
hes kha zix
if u liked em
hes kinda close to haze where you flank and off angle people
you stalk instead of frontlining in a reamfight
DO i NEED TO GET LAST HITS?
yeah
no
only when you unlock third ability
even if the minion dies from something else then you get the gold
ONLY when the enemy shoot the soul that pops out then they get the gold
Megalo are you talking about drifters third ability?
so you shoot it out when you are in lane against em
no but you do need to pick up the orbs they drop on the floor, they fly to you tho
mb if they were talking about drifter, but last hits is just a common term for minions in league
WHAT I DO WITH URN
oh I was typing in caps mbmb
hey I managed to not sink my team a match!
haha I get it
nah meant league mb
in league you do not get gold for a minion's death unless you yourself hit it last
thanks for all the info btw!!
I see
that thing is gnarly btw
went from doing fuck-all damage to being a legitimate threat because I sniped a couple kills
Once you pick it up, an urn-shaped outline will appear on the map. You need to take it there to get your team a bunch of souls.
Keep in mind, all your abilities are disabled and you appear on the map for the enemy while holding it, so you need to play with your team so you don't get sniped
Also, I just saw I got my rank
Honestly, much higher than I was expecting
goodbye venator
lucky
mm is broken and i got placed in oracle
everyone is super sweaty and i hate it

I definitely feel like my rank is a little high for my current skill though, since I've not been doing that great in recent matches
im carried as fuck
I copy other peoples builds
I miss all my shots
any rank is too high for me
but if i land a bebop hook from across the lane then im truly the best
So true 
Though I hit most of the shots that matter, except my sniper shots on Vindicta, which I miss most of 
@hollow briar shit liek this should be illegal
only reason i play beebop is that i dotn have to play against him
with only 3 items oyu can get 100m hooks
that's me!
doing objective damage and flinging turrets around in teamfights while shooting vaguely in the correct direction
what does the thing I have to take it to look like? I was just about there but got lost, saw a teamfight was going on, tossed the urn because we weren't winning it and ran away LMAO
(but hey, enemy team didn't get it either!)
If you look at the map while someone's carrying it, it should be pretty obvious. It's a bright blue outline on the opposite side of the map.
yeah on the minimap, but like, do I just walk it into a giant pot shaped outline
surely there's a pedestal or something?
there is
how bad an idea is relying on their default builds?
not too bad
Oh yeah, right. There'll be a glowing area where you need to place it. It's pretty obvious once you see it.
ofc they aint min maxxed but they work
ty!
mcginnis is just heimerdinger but beefy and I kind of hate that I like playing her LMAO
It should look liek this
is there a way to set a priority order for characters you want to play or does it just 'randomly' pull from the pool you select?
right click in character select
click on them multiple times
oh sick ty
@grim roost deadlock later?
bruh blender said he dmd you to play deadlock 5 mins ago
u down in like 5 mins tho? or u need more time
its mainly just reviewing a speech and just memorizing it by wednesday
that didnt answer my question lmao
@zyx
when is later
wrong account
sure ill just play now
5 mins we finishing a street brawl
would you belive me if i said we almost lost this match because the Celeste was unkillable
enhanced frenzy and enhanced spirit res + witchmail against a full spirit team lul
surprised ginnis didnt build gun
it was street brawl so maybe they did get any? Celeste was the only one with SR by the end
listen its not my fault the paige/dynamo/rem/ivy rando i got doesnt know they have to shoot the orbs so where down 2K at 4 minuets

vindicta seems p cool
graves also very cool
match was under 19 minutes because we massacred our lane so bad they both ragequit
ironically it was gonna be my first vindicta match but my lane opponent took her and thought she was invincible if she flew over the bridge where I could just jump and shoot her over and over
would not have done nearly as well if I'd gotten the character I wanted lmao
hell yeah
[ General ] - Can now jump during slide - Dash jump grants a very brief period with increased air control (30% for 0.25s) - Shrine is now easier to kill for the first one and harder for the second. HP from 8100 to 5000/10000 (HP updates after the first one dies, like Walkers) - Shrines attack no longer hits heroes under the shrine - Super troope...
new patch notes
When does the update go live
Not sure at the moment
Though for me, Celeste and Rem got a slap on the wrist, Vindicta got some pretty big adjustments across the board that I think is an overall buff, and Silver got shot and given a bandage.
I'm fine with it overall though
@grim roost did your characters get nerfed
I read through like 3 characters and I know that graves, viscous, infernus, and pocket are fine/buffed
I might pick up seven again too now
I only ready a few as well. Aside from the ones I play, I looked at Apollo. They kneecapped him again
Also Paige got some fun changes
drifter is pretty good and got buffed, mina is nerfed despite having like 46% winrate, and abrams spirit build nerfed
shiv giga nerfed at 43% winrate too was a bummer
but those re the ones im most excited for
I feel like Mina's changes are more focused at making her worse early game and better late game, though I might have misread 'em
deadlock updates are announced when they are dropped
BILLY BUFFS
nah i agree with that, but when one of minas main identity was having one of the best laning phase then i consider a nerf
WHOO THIS CHARACTER NEEDED THEM
Yeah, that's fair
her late game is better but if you are losing more early game to get there then overall i think her power is reduced
ok who wants to play rn
vc?
ye
timeguy you donw
oh they reworked wraith
@grim roost you saw this right
yea, but to guarantee someone doesnt checkout you would need to burn cooldowns longer than 10s
like slowing hex, cart, knockdown, etc
so realistically its only 2 people
which is still a good buff
Paradox has become even stronger. No need for further explanation.
#deadlock
also this
time wall doesn't deal damage anymore
though so that sucks a little
Why did Shiv get nerfed hard?
cuz i hate him
he has had the best ult in the game every patch for like a year and a half
they made wraith a GAMBLER LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO
ok
So I just played a bot match with the new Vindicta changes, they're so good
The potential to have infinite uptime on flight without items is so nice
gamers
imagine turret mcginnis before the patch
now imagine her 1.75 times more cancerous
It's the movement man
Skill issue, simply right click
Actually the knives changes look fun
The deadlock visual novel is good
Lady Geist is really hot here
I think I like her look in the vn more than the game
Streamer @JoeyCheerio spoke on stream about how Lash should parry by puffing out his chest.
︀︀Reddit users KyraTheCupcake and CDranzer suggested fun new names for Paige's abilities.
︀︀
︀︀These suggestions are now in-game.
︀︀
︀︀Valve proving again that they are everywhere and listening.
These are fun changes
ballistic enchantment is funny
there's a what???
You had to datamine it in the files
Once the games fully released, that's how you're gonna get the lore
Kinda like TF2 and it's comics
Very nice
Patch adjustments
TL;DR
Buff to Golden Egg (new item)
Slight nerf to Torment Pulse
Slight Doorman Nerf (on his Ult T3)
Slight Ivy Nerf
Solid Paradox Buffs
Small Silver Buffs
Slight Viscous Nerfs
and some Nerfs for Wraith
shame silver got buffed
Ty!!

Deadlock is an upcoming MOBA Hero Shooter developed by ...
when viktor hits 40k souls
@quasi jay
:o
Yay
That is the voiceline its true
am I insane or is not building stamina at all on shiv a terrible idea
this shiv build from deadlockmeta.com feels so ass
317683
like surely you would want extra charges on the knife and more stamina, right? like, surely that would be central to playing him
am I just completely stupid
its a build made before march 7 patch
dont use it
personally i use 196212
Got some annotations too so you arent completly lost
Also stamina becomes less of a problem once you are good at movement
But dont let that stop you from buying stamina mastery cuz that shit is goated
Id argue the opposite, the better you are the more you can do with stamina
Stamina mastery is goated tho
thank you!!!
Both our statements can coexist
@grim roost @lavish isle @solemn crystal @silk flint any of you wanna play deadlock
YO THAT SHIV BUILD ROCKS, THANKS SO MUCH!!!
sorry i was fake and lame playing sts2
if you shoot holidays barrel with splitshot you get 5x barrel damage
jumpscare
am I right that shiv's daggers are THE biggest damage over time effect?
I saw what happens when you land 6 of them on someone with 20k more souls than you and I was AMAZED tbh, idk if there's anything comparable to that in the game tho
Yeah, they reworked his daggers in the most recent patch so they deal no impact damage but have crazy DoT
Infernus' Afterburn is probably the only thing that comes close
if it's just been added this patch the ability to win duels by flinging daggers feels like it's gonna get toned down at some point because I'm winning fights that feel impossible on any other character
I had a mo and krill that was WAY out of hand running from me in terror because I solo'd him
I had a lady geist eat 6 daggers, ult triumphantly, eat a 7th and evaporate
each dagger also refreshes duration
exactly that shit is crazy
it also seems to make him CRAZY good against viscous?
viscous go ball? oh, easy target for daggers then. viscous go cube? dagger will be waiting when he leaves.
it's so funny hearing my friends go "how can we even kill X character" and I slink up, fling four daggers and melt them
they're gonna nerf the FUCK outta this huh
getting three charges at 800 souls is so fucking busted in lane
love DoT
ain't no one buying it against me
Fair point 
funny thing, my rating is seeker 2 but I have the "below skill rating" icon on every character
😬
this is just science tho
Man, I gotta check the winrates on my characters now
All I know is that I have a 100% winrate on Celeste since I always get someone disconnecting in half my Celeste games 
the worst part of playing lash was finding out lash players have been having fun the whole time
devastating news
oh that's bad
The only characters I have above 50% winrate on are Rem, Celeste and Vindicta
Though to be fair, I don't have many matches actually recorded, since I mostly play Bot matches to test characters and that's taken up about half of my playtime
my goat
I was trying to do something without the lineart and i understand the appeal here.

︀︀#deadlock #deadlockfanart #haze
y'all I started eight days ago
and I haven't played today at all since like technically past midnight
I uh
I think I might like this game
what character(s) you playing now? I remember you were interested in haze and graves prior
so goddamn many LMAO
I play like 10 matches on a character to learn them then move on
if you put a gun to my head and said "WIN OR DIE" I'm picking graves or shiv
I'm still wanting to learn the entire cast before I really go crazy, like I did in league
i also did a very similar strategy when picking up the game. To this day I still go random in a lot of games just because i truly dislike 0 charas
though some characters I don't think I need 10 games. Vindicta I learned immediately is not for me lmao
it is unprecedented how good this cast is
inching closer to a 50% winrate
one guess as to why
I would like if more often when my team won it was because of me and if they lose it isn't because of me
it does feel like the matchmaking puts me in parties that carry me
looking at ur character roster, you mainly play offcarries or initators. Try some hypercarries if you really want to have the game in your hands
some character thoughts:
-
Graves I play because I love her aesthetic, I hate aiming, I spent time as a Yorick main in League and she's free splitpush whenever you want which is insanely strong at low levels.
-
Silver I like turning into a werewolf but I am so fucking trash in lane on her.
-
Mina I love and have gone 5-9, and I promise you those 5 are not wins I contributed to
-
Apollo I am having AMAZING results with and he feels GREAT and I'm intentionally stalling playing him more because I don't want to rank too far ahead of my local friends while they're still playing
-
Lash is so fucking fun and I can teamfight really well with him but I am again so fucking dogass in lane
-
Seven is my best results to date just overall, I feel like I consistently have a lot of control over how I'm doing. His ability to powerfarm is unreal
-
Wraith I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE her theming and I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the cards being random but I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaate playing her in lane so much and the matches I do well with her it's because I bought monster rounds and zap bullets, got ricochet like 2nd or 3rd big item, and powerfarmed into relevance.
-
Shiv feels GREAT I fucking LOVE DoT play and I can't find anything on par with the insanity of his knives. Casually killing any tank for the crime of having a large hurtbox because I have 7 knives and before I've spent all 7 I got 2 more back.
-
Venator I LOOOOOOVE his theming, I LOOOOOOOOOVE his design, I am again SOOOOOOOOOOOO bad in lane with him.
-
I do not like playing Lady Geist because her spells feel like shit to use to me and I think her ult is gimmicky and boring and too much of her power budget
-
everyone else I've played I need more experience on to actually draw conclusions about them
I don't think I've successfully played a single Mina game with a positive K/D and less than 10 deaths
this is my best mina game IIRC
it seems in general that you struggle with laning phase. Which characters do you think you do well with in laning phase? I think most of the time people say they are bad in lane cause they dont know what they should generally expect in certain matchups and/or pairings or playstles
my belief is that I'm bad in lane because I'm trying to play league of legends silver 2 lane and in that game it's all about wave manipulation and taking short trades, and I get baited into longer fights or make bad positioning choices, die, and struggle to play from behind
I take too much damage, sustain too little and it feels like whenever I choose to either go back or stick around it's always the wrong choice; either way behind on xp from boxing while I wait on healing rite, or behind on xp from going back, or behind on xp from dying
I take too much damage and am not doing a good enough job denying souls because I am so bad at aiming
I think my best lane might be graves because I play it safer, go for poke with excess jar stacks, and bait people into trying to dive me, then get insanely aggro whenever I have ult and win trades for free
I also found out you can drop ult in front of someone, then parry the heavy attack they instinctively do and kill them
I also have a lower success rate than I should with parrying, and I think my laning itemization prioritization is dogshit but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong
I do still keep making really stupid mistakes too like hitting Q when I want 1 or hitting E instead of F for parry
league taught me my abilities are qwer and I struggle so bad to adjust to 1234
This one is always dependant on which characters you are playing. Characters like Graves or Haze LIVES for the long trades while a character like Mina basically gets their Bite proc and fucks off. Taking too much damage might because of WHEN you decide to fight, usually its better for you to initiate a trade when their minions are dead and/or ur minions are alive (its also ok to go for a trade where you get low HP if the healing minion is up since it heals you based off of missing %HP)>
see I mostly played solo lanes in league and I'm not doing a great job of playing with my lane partners too is part of my problem also I suspect
Denying isnt reliable, deadlock has made it extremely favored for the confirm rather than the deny since oftentimes it made it so whoever had ping just outright won. Denying is basically for when the enemy is being distracted by your duo partner or smthing else happens or they just are forced off the angle so you can confirm it
lmk if you ever want more character specific advice, i play a lot of the characters you do too (except for graves). Used to be top 50 lash and I think I was top 500 Mina last patch too iirc
my understanding is that wraith is a hypercarry and seven is also, though I've not played much of either - are there other characters that would make good hypercarries? is infernus one?
I like when getting consistent headshots is not a requirement, that was my problem playing vindicta
hell yeah
thanks so much I love getting help with this kind of thing
when you're dueling as lash early and don't have a 2 stack is it usually worth burning a stamina to double jump for the extra damage on 1?
also is there anything in the game that feels as good as dragging a vindicta out of the sky with 1 and blowing her up as lash LMAO
You are right about those 3 being hypercarries. The other ones are also Drifter, Haze, Venator, and sometimes characters like Grey Talon or Vindicta depending on how much stacks they get. Mina has been called hypercarry but I believe shes more offcarry
the general teamfight approach with him is jump in, press 1, hit people, immediate 3, immediately leave and repeat off cooldowns right?
Depending on what lane you are playing (left, middle and right all have different ones), you can basically parkour for free onto highground to set up more damaging slams
LMAO no there isnt
my league of legends knowledge calls Mina Leblanc and says she's a flimsy insanely mobile and annoying AP assassin who snowballs situations in favor of her team when played well by diving, bursting a priority target, and being an absolute nightmare to run down while her team are shooting you in the back if you try
flank -> dive -> burst someone -> land 1 on everyone you can -> 2 away -> shoot more -> 2 again -> shoot more -> 2 again -> re-evaluate, probably hide for a few seconds, and press 1 on anyone who tries to follow you
is the mina flowchart I play
but I miss 80% of my shots probably so,
I DID make exactly one REALLY sick play with mina, but my score at the end of the match was 5-16 so
Bascially you position in a place where the enemies dont notice you so can set up your Ult (#1 Priority if you have it) or just a slam + 3 on a squishy target or anyone important so they cant help the team as much. 2 is an engage and disengage since ideally you have rapid recharge by then. You should also add in rotations of active items such as Cold Front. A standard combo can be smthing like 2 > 1 > Cold Front > Shoot > 3 as they are walking away > 2 away
you have a generally good understanding of what Mina wants to do, but I will say that your general movement and stamina management could be better since you are weakest when your 2 is on cooldown as that is your main escape. Learning movement tools such as walljumps, sliding after instant air dashes, etc. can what gives you enough time to stall for your cooldowns to come back online and take another trade
also this reminded me I need to try haze again, I played her very briefly in like my 5th game ever and I've gotten a lot better since then so I think I'll have better results now
my walljumps are ASS but at least I do have the IAD slide down as a movement tool until bullets start flying and I panic LMFAOOOO
oh another thing I'm proud of I'm REALLY good at using the urn to manipulate the match
I'm good-ish at not just mindlessly running in and giving them a free urn, I've gotten good at being 0-17 and fucking worthless BUT I can peel a fight by picking up the urn and posturing to relieve pressure, then simply run back to the sidelane and take a building
I learned last night a quick melee forces a drop
game changer
WAIT
OMG
YOU CAN USE IAD SLIDE IN PLACES YOU'D USE ROLL DURING A FIGHT
YOU'RE SO RIGHT
Learning how to play from behind is a great mindset in general. Its not like playing ADC where you are just completely useless if you fall behind. You can build more supportive items to disable carries, you can splitpush and focus on objs, or just powerfarm to try to come back as a threat
idk if you know yorick league of legends but his gimmick is that he is never out of the match because if you ever give yorick a combined 5 minutes alone he's going to appear in a sideline and take your entire base in 40 seconds
that shit is my jam
makes sense why you like Graves then lmao
Seven is FUCKING NUTS at it too
the amount of times I've eaten shit in lane, "disappeared" from the map, grabbed a couple waves and vanished again, and then six minutes go by and I suddenly appear, take a walker and two base turrets, vanish, take another walker
it is WILD what he can do if you give him 20 seconds
and your jungle clear is so healthy, and his base stamina so good, and the 3 buff on movement so helpful, I've legit been a fucking terror with him in multiple games because people do not know how to coordinate
I WILL press 2 on you. I WILL backtrack. I WILL chill in a closet for 20 seconds while you chase a ghost. I WILL kill a walker and do it again
Seven tends to be the cahracter that requires the most souls but its because he is probably one of the strongest characters with itmes since he uses them so effectively
juking people gives me the same feeling I got in league playing leblanc and trolling entire teams
All categories of items are ones that he can get the most values out of
doesn't hurt the build I found is turbo juicing his 3
around 85% uptime on 3 is INSANE
he is so good with a couple items and that buff turned on
I have turned around situations I have no business turning around because surprise, I CAN burst you down despite being 0-12
like it's funny how many of my matches are
0-12 -> 6-12 -> 10-13
If I can just get better at laning I'm gonna zoom up I feel it
because my league knowledge of laning is fucking me over, but my league knowledge of team fights playing asshole flanker characters who terrorize people is paying off massively
the ability to know how to be exactly irritating enough you're useful and just frustrating enough that the entire enemy team doesn't all at once turn on you, or being able to escape when something like that happens? peak feeling
tbh I think its always better to be weaker at laning than after. General macro and getting lost on what you should be doing is far more often with newer players and it leads to them falling behind
in league solo laning is like, 95% your knowledge of wave manipulation and the ability to read where the enemy jungler is, which is just not a factor here like it is there.
there's also strats there that don't work here like going extremely hard to crash a wave and deny a ton of minions, but the respawn is so short early and the trip back so comparatively fast you can't force someone to be two levels down like that
Recovering from a lost lane is a feat in itself, and learning how to lane is smthing more easily fixed
like in league on many characters eespecially in top lane you can build up a GARGANTUAN wave and just force them to die/leave and deny them ALL of it, come back to a wave returning to you, and get a 2 level, 1200 gold advantage without a single kill
which funny thing gold in league VS souls in deadlock is almost exactly 1 gold = 2 souls
in value, item purchasing, etc.
in deadlock building massive waves just is not really an option like that
and trying to gets you jumped on or shot
at least in my experience it has
it's much easier in an elo where the match is guaranteed to be 30-50 minutes and almost nobody jungles
very easy to come back as a mobile character with good/great jungle clear when the entire jungle exists for you and your teammates can't look at the minimap graciously donate waves to you
there was a small part of deadlocks history where you could wave manipulate like that, it was removed pretty quickly though. Ig people enjoy more simplified wavestates if it means they get to take more fights/trades instead
but before you could parry melee minions and temporarily stun them to build up big freezes and force the enemy in awkward positions
go, my army of minions
that got removed tho
can I just say parrying turrets is cocaine
the satisfaction, the sense of vengeance
its a very useful tech
towerdiving feels so good in this game, just airdashing to that turret for a fadeaway parry is a great feeling
it's so good
yoshi hates me
Well a small silver buf is nice
her gun needs a nerf
everytime i play in lane against her she gets half my health with slam fire
even tho i have battle vest
Ig I am ass at this game so idk match
idc about her ult form cuz i just run away
Yeah, that's the only really impactful change
But doesn't matter if you just, y'know, don't miss
also shining wonder linger reduction is great
Yeah.
They reduced from 4.5 to 3.25 in the first patch, so another .25 seconds is kinda whatever
Also, the Dazzling Trick change is actually a buff since it makes the shield easier to break in late-game
So you're more likely to get the silence proc
Which is funny
Nah, that's what her movement's for
Just B-hop around their assses and they can't hit you 
Yeah, for sure
But I mostly use the shield to pop it and dive into a group of enemies so they get punished for hitting me because of the silence
Since it's pretty flimsy late-game anyway
cna shield be canceled by curse?
I'm not sure. I think once it's cast, it's just there, though I'm not 100% on that
I've not been hit by enough CC during the shield to notice
That was always the part that killed me
On top of everything else she gets what do you mean if you fuck up your 20+ hit ultimate it comes back sooner so you can try again
if they wanted to keep it they should give refund to paradox and holiday
@quasi jay
Wa as ow
Fortnite
idk it looks good
I like fortnite
I just think it's funny to point out fortnite
i see
I love the katamari viscous mods so much I'm considering it
matchmakings finest
i want to pick up holiday too
I suck at making use of her Ult, but I've been really vibing with the rest of her kit
Yeah, kinda
Though you can play a fair bit safer with her, since most of her stuff has pretty long range
Though you need better aim to compensate
pixie Mo
okay maybe infernus is for me
outhealed an abrams on infernus LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
waiting for the other shoe to drop at this point tbh
won a game with mid-boss in the funniest way possible
Buy resistance items if you think you're dying too fast, otherwise I think you're set
I'd swap out one of the active items if you do end up buying something
dont get escalating exposure on lash
lash does burst damage but Escalating exposure stacks up after getting damaged like 12 times for max amp
Silvers gotta be one of the most popular characters cause she’s got the most fanart
Viscous might get a crumb one day
I'd say 2nd most popular after Mina, but she's definitely up there
okey i just tried that build
it sucks ass
If oyu want to play lash look for "Big damage absolute chad lash. bebop sucks" build
Lmao
honestly a massive relief finding out the build is just dogshit
apparently sajam misinformed me and deadlockmeta.com is not in fact a good resource for quality builds
smh
@silk flint at the time I was not grateful enough, thank you for informing me not to use builds from metro or that one website that uses the AI
sorry for the delayed show of appreciation
not excatly dogshit but it leans more into gun which is like??
iam not playing lash to shoot people
iam playing lash to displace people and GROUND POUND
yeah exactly
in theory I understand the reasoning behind the spirit damage stacking ability thing because like you do your combo and shoot them then come back in before the stacks expire but in practice it feels so ass to do
i tried that combe with the stacking damage item (Escalating Exposure) and i only got 1 stack of it out of 12
yeah fuck that lmao
join the discord and look for builds in the pins for each character
there's a discord???
I mean I guess that's obvious but
IDK why it didn't occur to me
its in the main menu
All good man
I am just stilling my build from the discord server now
also dont sleep on silence wave
excellent cc tool after you use your ultimate and makes it safer for you to GROUND POUND after it
stealing
robbing even
maybe later, ive only had tilting games the last 2 days
i may also need to play a game of low prio
then tomorrow cause i got work
this is why i play lash
by @rosewaterjelly
Just finished one of my best games so far (also my longest) 
Also, it made me realise I haven't faced a good Celeste player until now...
anyone wanna play deadlock
Okay so is Apollo crazy strong, did he just click with me super hard, or is he like a new player stomp character or something
It feels like it's impossible to have a truly bad game with him. Lose lane? Play safe, press 1 to farm, get a couple buys and start playing like you went 20-0 in lane
I've lost matches but I've never felt like it was inevitable that I would at ten minutes. Usually the loss comes from a close team fight, or a team that will not stop seeking fights where they're outnumbered by enemy characters with radically higher soul counts
Occasionally I make a bad read and get jumped in a side lane, but it's like
I play Mina, I almost invariably feed in lane and play catch-up. Badly. Ditto wraith, drifter (I KNOW), silver, I'm getting clowned on in lane pretty much every time but Apollo I just go in press 3 with timing a few times, press 2 if it feels necessary or press 1 and bail. Bam, free trade, I won it, see ya suckers
I'm having OK times with infernus in lane too idk why
bound your 3 to right click
itll be easier to aim it
and time it
Can you set binds per character?
A bit of all 3, I'd say. He's already been nerfed twice so he's not as strong as he was, but he's still pretty powerful and I feel like newer players likely don't know how to deal with his high mobility.
It does feel like I hold left or right as I start 3 and the way people react I might as well be invisible
Yeah, you can. Right at the top of the settings menu, there's a list with all the characters' faces. Click on the one you want to change and it'll change the binds only for that character.
No problem 
Apollo is an off-carry that spikes early-mid but falls off late game. Late game the most utility you have to offer is your ult but truthfully when the game is at that ~40 min mark you are going to be gunned down instantly by that haze or venator before you even get to cast all 3 dashes
And even if you do manage to live, you get silenced from Silencer, Slowing Hex, Curse, etc
@silk flint @charred vapor and you europeans
This applies to a lot of other characters that are burst oriented. A fed Lash feels great early to mid when you are popping them like balloons but the second the carries are building items like Spellbreaker you can't really do much since sustained DPS (aka Gun) is king for late game (similar to how ADCs are lategame carries while assassins do better late)
who wants to deadlock
sick inv
hop on deadlock in 5 days when I come back from las vegas
you don't got midtersm?
on spring break so ima gamble my savings away
Wraith really is just a hyper carry adc huh lmao
Yo you boosted my account
And now I can’t solo que
It’s not even bad but I can’t play at like 3 am now
yeah you can
kid named slowing hex

Actual nightmare team
I single-handedly split-pushed two walkers and we still lost
mmr is cooked
