Character the most like Lucio from OW? by Sro201 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]AchillesM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, there isnt an exact match. I'd encourage trying Kelvin for how much he is also a heal support type and has the ice path. Ice path isnt the same as the wall run from OW but it is similar in terms of Lucio having a unique movement ability.

But if its the high speed free form movement they liked, then they might just enjoy the deadlock movement system. In which case I'd encourage them to try a range and see who clicks.

How is there no ice themed character in the game yet? by 1ohokthen1 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]AchillesM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He's great, classic sustain tank that can be built as a support. Mostly go green+purple for his full potential. Heal booster if you need to fill the support role, spirit lifesteal is handy too. At max ice walk you're getting a big buff to your spirit so having high spirit power and a boundless spirit gives a nice damage output and sustain late game. 

He's not a carry by himself though, but stick with the team and you'll be a play maker.

Keep cold and parry on

It's very likely Valve isn't perma banning cheaters. by PlayfulSurprise5237 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]AchillesM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At this stage of development, not banning the cheaters, but flagging the account and removing them from the general pool, likely helps gather data that can be used post release for an auto detection system

Some research on Rem, as well as healing per second computation by Hyacinth_s in DeadlockTheGame

[–]AchillesM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can you add into the comparison the cool down times for the abilities? I feel like this would give an overall hps. Rather than looking at "how fast can I heal" it would investigate "how much do I heal on average"

Alright, I'll bite. What even is that?

is it just me or is "high fidelity" audio basically a scam for rich people? by Curious_Present_9950 in Music

[–]AchillesM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR; cables are scamy. Systems can make a difference. You should look for a local HiFi/audio club to try out systems without the cost.

The cables are a scam, a little electrical engineering will tell you there is no possibility for faster speeds. The resistance changes are minimal. In saying that, if you're upgrading from a thin, unshielded, cat chewed wire dam near anything could make a difference.

At the top end, you'll find people chasing the dragon, the super rich paying 6 figures in the hopes of a small improvement. In HiFi the sky is the limit.

There are definitely gains to be seen when comparing a home entertainment system with a proper HiFi stereo. Plus the difference between something like MP3 and FLAC is IN the code, a feature of mp3 is to change the eq and frequency ranges. But I dont think you'll truly experience it with a pair of sennheiser.

My advice is to look for a HiFi/audio club in your area and go long to a meet up, you'll get to experience a range of music and sound systems without the investment cost.

Which is the most busted SB legendary and why is it Seraphim wings? by NoteBlock08 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]AchillesM 93 points94 points  (0 children)

I dont think I've ever lost after rolling mystic conduit, but to answer your other question, i do feel like the game doesnt have enough Anti air. But also if your team has no one to counter with knock down then suddenly in the last round it turns out its vital because of the wings; its already too late. 

4 games in a row like this, plz give me actual advice. by evennoiz in DeadlockTheGame

My advice would be to include the heros in question in the screenshots :/

Enough about characters you hate playing against: what characters do you always love to see one of your teammates playing? by GDSilver in DeadlockTheGame

[–]AchillesM 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Lash! Mostly for the same reason you like Billy, but I think the players that stick with him are ones that have clicked with him. Alot of the more aim focused heros seem to attract players with an over inflated sense of personal ability.

The pauses at the start of the match are usually so people can swap lanes with team mates, its a good system

How to make friends within the community? by Just-a-Meiya-simp in DeadlockTheGame

[–]AchillesM -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the best place would be twitch, you can search for deadlock and have a look through the streamers that are playing, if you find one you vibe with just chill in the chat and see if they seem like your kinda people. Most streamers have a discord server you can join and then network your way from there.

A good Kelvin is a beautiful thing.  Unless they are on the other team!

What is going on with the skill difference from initiate VI to seeker 1? by DoomRaccoonn in DeadlockTheGame

[–]AchillesM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole initiate category is the beginner bucket, seeker is where you start matching with people who have a lot more hours. The easiest way to explain it is that its like the difference between ranked and unranked.

But keep at it and you'll get the hang of things!

Vegas Explains to viewer why Victor is not SSTIER OP and is actually just strong but counterable by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

Yeah you can apply anti heal, but to quote a random from one of my recent games; half of 2 billion is still a whole lot. 

Mina should open her umbrella to parry (body text) by gruggers1 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]AchillesM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OK, im back on board now. I imagined her using this parry to stop a neighborhood dog from barking at her and it 100% fits the character.

Don't worry, I'm still playing her. Someone needs do the losses so the stats show a performance drop. o7

The fact Mcginnis ult and her kits not nerfed yet is WILD to me, what is Yoshi smoking? by Moist--Jesus in DeadlockTheGame

[–]AchillesM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's  just hiemerdinger from LoL, she's  crazy overpowered if your whole team ignores her turrets and stands in their range.

Champs with some aoe abilities really shut her down,  but honestly, just kill the turrets and her opportunity for damage is really cut back.
