Discussion Went on the forums after seeing a cool design and uh, is slinging slurs normal there? Spoiler

Upvotes

Obviously in the game shitty players say this, but I'm suprised this made it through.

EDIT: Disappointing to see an alarming amount of the community on reddit be cool with ableist slurs. Guess I should've expected an overlap with the more toxic side. Hope the official discord doesn't say this ish

Discussion What Heroes do you think will get reworked in the next update?

Upvotes

My guess is Graves and McGinnis because nobody likes playing against them. Maybe characters like Lash and Celeste because their mobility makes some slow characters obselete.

Question Does anyone play Deadlock AND League?

Upvotes

It seems like a lot of people completely migrated from League to Deadlock, and no longer play the former. I used be addicted to League around a decade ago but was able to get clean, but now Deadlock is starting to make me want to go back and play both games. Wondering if it’s worth going back after so long or should I just stick with Deadlock? Thanks

Game Feedback Buff the anti tank items

Upvotes

Tank buster is strong!! But every other anti tank item sucks.

Toxic needs a dmg buff desperately.

Siphon bullets was gutted a year ago and now is meh. To run siphon and get good value compared to other T4’s you kinda have to buy another T4 item, either healing tempo or transcendent cooldown. You’re not getting value from Siphon without either of those.

Scourge is a fake anti tank item because it’s only bought by frontiers plus Calico.

Squishy heroes have counter play. Give them a way to counter heroes with excessive hp.

Also, nerf Celeste, Lash and Warden. You know a hero is broken when the players on those heroes are consistently the worst players in the lobby.

EDIT: I forgot to include decay. That item sucks. To to people that are reading this post and think anti heal isn’t the same as anti hp… I can’t help you.

Question Can I be banned for this?

Upvotes

In ranked I play extremely passive, so recently I started to experiment in standard. Because when I needed to be agrressive i wasnt used to it.

Trying to limit test and also play extremely aggressive in standard

Since I usually play passive it doesnt go so well.

I'm trying my best, but i go go like 3-15.

I usually mute my team if they go too abusive.

Someone told me its bannable, but I'm trying my best and trying to learn in standard. Like i make poor decision, but im limit testing

Discussion I lowkey have idea about dazzling trick rework which not let me sleep

Post image
Upvotes

What if instead that boring barrier like paige and warden have, dazzling trick become something similar with counterspell, but with longer cd and funny feature called reflecting. Its mean you can bait ability and send its back to owner.

Example: bepoop spammed his 2 again, hooked you, and got back his thing directly to face because not respected other character kit.

Example 2: geist spamming her 1st skill so you can catch it with proper timing and send its back.

Example 3: kelvin spam his nade, so you respect timing, catch it and send its back to him.

Why its needed and which problems solve:

  1. Horse shield will be non braindead and her tank build will be finally cooked (thx celestia !)

  2. Horse now will have fun button which suit better her tags and ability name (she have disruptor tag and she will disrupt with that thing and its literally trick)

  3. Horse will not be tanky, but still have some tools to not be send instantly to glue factory from first random aoe

  4. Its limit a little ability spam without some trash like mana by adding fun and skillful counterplay

  5. Tankleste should gone

  6. Parry is smug and sexy

Discussion Lash is the most broken character in the game.

Upvotes

If you think otherwise, you:

a) are a Lash main

b) have never played against a good Lash

Ground Strike does a fuckton of damage, even early game, and scales with distance to hit for huge damage late game. His mobility is unmatched with Grapple. He has a huge heal on a short cooldown with Flog. The cherry on top is Death Slam, which is the most busted ult in the game and is, more often than not, completely unavoidable.

Seriously, when will he get nerfed?

Complaint I am so tired of feeling like every game I have to legit 1v9 or lose

Upvotes

I will very often end my laning either ahead or even. I do have the occasional bad game, but everyone does. All 10 of my game today were if I didn't 1v9 we lost. I won 4 and every single one I had to hard carry. I just want ONE game where I can go even sit back and get carried, I don't know why but it has just been absolutely awful today and I need to rant.

Game Feedback Split Shot

Upvotes

Had the displeasure of playing against a gun build Calico with split shot. Not only is the item incredibly skill-less, uninteractive and corny, but it also causes everybody in the game to lag. I have a fairly high end PC that's only a few months old and I've never had substantial FPS drops in Deadlock until this particular match. The two other people on my team with mics complained of lag as well. We can please just outright remove this bullshit item from the game?

Game Feedback When they nerf gun Lash they need to do something to make Slam worth using over gun

Upvotes

It’s easy to counterspell, has bad late game scaling, and sets you up for the 3 slowing hexes every team will have (that item is a seperate discussion because its literally good on every character into the entire roster). Even if gun wasn’t busted it would still be his default build atm because why would you even try to slam with how easy it is to chain CC?

In it’s current state unless his gun is completely shit his slam is just not worth building because its so risky in a game where CC has very little risk attatched. Slam has just felt worse and worse with every patch and now it’s at it’s worst.

Does anyone feel Infernus is overscaled a bit right now, his damage is extremely high right now, IMO, and a majority of matches Im in, he stacks kills on kills and has a ton of obj damage. Im in Silver so maybe its a skill diff? Opinions or advice on how to not get bullied by him?

Game Feedback My ideia to solve the shield problem on ranked, what do you think?

Upvotes

At the core of the problem is that there are too many shields and eventually it will just inflate ranks over time, and the timing of wins/loses is way more important than the quantity of them.

Set the max amount of shields to one, maybe too if your at the very start of a rank, you can gain a shield once you win 2 matches, and then you can choose to use your shield once you loose, and then only when you use your shield you can win 3 more to recharge it, and the amount of wins resets when you change subrank.

I think that having the shields at a fixed point makes it that your luck influence heavily on your rank, and changing that to your decision makes it feels better, you can simply choose to not loose points on a awfull game.

Lowering the amount of shields will just lower the inflation problem.

I know, not the most elegant solution, but I believe the shields are good to mitigate bad games and reward people that put time in the game, but it also should be a tool to make people feel better than make much difference in your rank.

Discussion Tank is the best role to climb on not carry.

Upvotes

Tank lets you control from min 1 of the game to min 50. The MM typically only puts one other tank on the enemy team so you can get a massive advantage for your team if you outpace that ONE player. Carry is far more risky because you only swing games late and it might already be over by that point or their 2 other carrys counter you. Tanks dont really have hard counters in the way wraith or haze might.

Fluff Bebop shit.

Upvotes

I will rush trophy first item and only do 300 gun damage in lane because I was “looking for hooks” the whole time instead of “clearing the fucking wave” or whatever my teammate was saying.

I will be the first death almost every game.

I will go 0-4-2 in lane, even after I told myself that I “wasn’t gonna feed for stacks this game”

I will pull the enemy carry into me while alone and die in the ensuing fight just because “I bet I could hit that hook”

I will somehow secure the victory off of 1 Late game hook while being 1-9-7 and whiffing all game.

I will somehow be your best and worst teammate simultaneously.

I will not care if I win or lose. The only thing that matters is if the hook connects.

I will be doing bebop shit.
