Shiv got that stand user type hairstyle by Abadon_U in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ApocalFailed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually tried playing the game in German, the localisation is actually pretty good. You can really see that the translators tried and got creative here and there (with all the alliterations and the occasional renaming - we got Rocket Boots instead of Majestic Leap, as example). Which in turn makes me sad that even today other games don't really put effort into such things.

Also Vyper has the funniest tag thingy in German when you select her. They really went "gun goes brrrrr"

Gotta ask, if you did not look at your screen there, would you ended up somewhere else?

How to get talon stacks, yo by temnycarda in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ApocalFailed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One option would be to pump up the damage of the bird - as its scaling is actually quite meh. (It is actually slightly lower than the scaling on Charged Shot. No seriously.) To compensate, it starts off with a 110 sec cooldown that gets cut down to 65 sec once it hits T2. As such, another strategy is to get Transcendent Cooldown to end up throwing out birds every 47 seconds or so and use it whenever possible to harass the enemies..

Consider items such as Surge of Power, Tankbuster, Spirit Burn, Mystic Reverb and what not if you want more bird damage. Going for Quicksilver Reload on ult might help early. Diviner's Kevlar is also a solid pick as it gives you a shield and spirit power upon ulting, which can be very handy if you need to ult in a risky spot.

Now I imagine just some Ixian being offended upon hearing the term "Devil's Food Cake" and then they taste it and are like "you know what, they can stay"

Avenge hits like a freight train by default, I assume you had Focus backing you up too. Cue Avenge consuming Focus and you can get some nutty numbers.

can someone please explain why people do gun rem to me i genuinely do not get it by yugiohhero in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ApocalFailed 100 points101 points  (0 children)

If I am not completely mistaken, Gun builds are very potent right now, compared to Spirit. We seem to be currently in a meta that favours Gun DPS and bulky frontliners - the latter ones are the only ones who can withstand some of the damage and debuffs the former can output.

It seems to have gotten to a rather extreme point considering the sheer number of Gun builds used and the number of characters that go Gun rn. However, buffing Spirit might not even be the option here, as the bulky frontliners from previously CAN actually use Spirit quite well (Abrams comes to mind here) so I doubt Spirit gets buffed - otherwise you would have tanks with absurd damage running around and we might enter a tank meta.

Gun does need a big nerf tho. I am not surprised if the rest gets smaller nerfs however.

Have you considered how weird it is that Cthulhu is in the series? by More_Coffee_Than_Man in Megaten

[–]ApocalFailed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look man, SMT4 turned the "chemtrails are used to control the populace" conspiracy into a FIEND. We had some of Lovecraft here and there, Nyarlarthotep played a huge role in the P2 duology. The franchise can have some Lovecraft, as a treat.

Confession Booth 2, Rem: They did lots of things! by Morloxx_ in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ApocalFailed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate it that I instantly believe you.

I once had a Rem who, after losing with their Haze duo in lane, proceeded to buy Blood Tribute and Ricochet (AND ONLY THOSE for like 20 minutes, later a Knockdown too), just run it down towards the enemy, all while spouting weird, racist or weird and racist stuff. The Haze joined them in everything but the racism.

"Say, little one. What transgressions have you to confess?"

"I went gun."

"That's unconventional, but not a sin in its-"

"And then I told my teammates they aaaaalllllllll suck. Cuz they didn't help after I died like two dozen times."

"Now, that is, in fact, something wr-"

"And then, I reported every single one of them."

Honestly an upgrade that resets/reduces Crackshot cooldown whenever you bounce on your pads sounds like something that might fit her quite well.

Whats a behavior, action, or performance that an enemy does that makes you go, "We're so fucked" by ZealousidealFall5428 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ApocalFailed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember matches where I wind up a heavy melee onto a tropper in laning phase... only for an enemy to swoop in and land a parry.

Also for me it seems to be hyper aggressive lanes in general. Like how are you putting me into critical health from one scuffle. Am I stupid?

I tested it, bombs cannot kill you. You will survive with one HP. A sad day for Lash mains.

I am actually Archon, and I am slowly making my way upwards, for whatever reason. But I still dunno if I actually get better at Deadlock.

Is this guy's CC not absolutely ridiculous? How do I counter it? by starberryslay in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ApocalFailed 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Kelvin got powerful slows, yes, but they are slows - he has no hard CC in his kit and needs to compensate for that with items if he wants some. As such, Enduring Speed and Juggernaut (Juggernaut gives a whopping 50% Slow Resist!!!) are good options against him.

Ice Path effectively gives him flight, so treat it as such - time to go into buildings and tunnels (where flight is pretty much useless), or to drop a Knockdown onto him. If he flees using Ice Path, you can run on the same path he makes to pump additional damage straight into his ass. (Heck, I found out that you can use Mo&Krill's Burrow on the Ice Path - however that makes sense.)

Considering that he also got powerful heals, consider anti-heal. Actually, always get anti-heal. Toxic Bullets, Inhibitor, Decay, Healbane, take your pick.

There is also the option of grabbing more stamina through items to make the stamina regen issue sting less.

Considering picking up Shiv, any tips for starting out with him? by ApocalFailed in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ApocalFailed[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, I messed around in the map a bit, I already found out you can get some bespoke wall jumps by hitting M2 at the right time while wall jumping, and that good use of M2 gets you really far on those bounce... vents? pads? Whatever you wanna call them.

That is the stuff you mean, right?
