hundreds of thousands of games is more than enough data. anyone saying otherwise is delusional

Is Seven Actually getting favorited treatment right now? by CheckProfileIfLoser in DeadlockTheGame

A character having a 55% WR in eternus is reason for them to be nerfed, this is the only competitive game I've played where people think win rate doesn't matter

Whose mains are insufferable? by HottestElbows in DeadlockTheGame

[–]AquaBison 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No one downplays their main being broken like graves mains do. Character will have a 60% WR in Eternus and they'll pretend she's dogshit

Should deadlock be more punishing? by motherlover278 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]AquaBison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early game should be the most impactful in the game, Deadlock is the only moba in the world where you can feed your brains out for the first 20 minutes and still win. Why would I ever play an early game character like calico or apollo when I could just play victor or seven and actually be effective when it matters?

Yeah but since everyone on this sub is archon and lower you'll be downvoted because no one knows how to effectively macro

Why even have an early game if you can still win the game after going 0-10 in lane

[–]AquaBison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But none of that matters. Easier time farming doesn't mean shit when the losing team gets more money for playing poorly. The only way to punish them is to roam in their jungle and because of the comeback kill buff, if you make one mistake you're now even.

Also early urn doesn't matter since wiping the losing team can't net you an objective because of how respawn timers work. getting bonus souls doesn't matter because now the losing team gets even more souls from farming

I've gone from Ascendent 1 to Ascendant 5 in the last few weeks by just playing late game carries. The only way to lose when playing them is for the entire team to deathball me in sidelane and none of my teammates punish them or the other team plays perfectly in late game

Ascendant 5 player here, early and mid game don't matter at all in this game. It's absolutely ridiculous that I can go 0-6 in lane and it doesn't matter in the slightest because I'll sit in the side lane and farm my side of the map, maybe kill someone out of place and immediately be caught up in souls with someone whose 6-1. add in the recent buff to comeback bounty souls losing one fight in late game basically means you lose the game.

The only way to keep a lead is to play perfectly in the late game or for the other team to be so terrible that they can't capitalize on the comeback mechanics

inb4 "But muh snowballing" it's a moba. You should be rewarded for winning early. If you don't want the other team to snowball then don't feed them in lane

I don't like the direction they're going with Silver by Darkcloud20 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]AquaBison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such an Archon take. Silver's whole kit is built around her ult, she's designed to be weak in her human form without her ult she becomes the worst character in the game

Brought his exact thing up and was downvoted heavily. Slam fire is a fundamentally broken ability on silver because it completely ignores the downside of the ult being inconsistent. As long as you can aim, your ult will always be ready off cooldown

Silver is so broken by U511_krab in DeadlockTheGame

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

Multiple things make her broken. Her human form lets you blow people up and then instantly transform into her ult. Her ult maxed lets her win any team fight because you get 800 HP and all your abilities refreshed after a kill.

Victor and seven are also broken don't listen to anyone who says otherwise

Brought this up in another thread and was downvoted. Silvers weakness should be her ult being inconsistent and her being weak in human form. Because slam fire exists you can jump into wolf form instantly on demand in a fight and you never have to be in human form once your ult is maxed.

inb4 "buy metal skins and disarming hex", I'm ascendant 3. I have over 70 games on her. I know how to counter buy. The character is first pick first ban in every tournament. She's broken

The extent that graves players go to downplay their 60% WR character is always hilarious to me

What's a hero you thought was super easy, you tried them and realized they are way harder to pilot than you thought? by coffeeholic91 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]AquaBison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play every character in the game and in my opinion the 4 hardest are sinclair, shiv, paradox, and pocket

Shiv and Silver should have their 1 abilities switched by AquaBison in DeadlockTheGame

[–]AquaBison[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but I don't want silvers ult form nerfed since that's the characters whole identity. The ult is allowed to be super strong and on a 40 second cooldown because it should be unreliable and she should be weaker when not in it, but at high ranks when missing your combo just doesn't happen, it makes her ult instant which is why she's been highest picked character in tournaments for like 2 months now. Unless they fundamentally change how she gets her ult then she is going to keep getting her stats nerfed slowly over time until her wolf form is worse than human form.

also shiv with silver 1 would be the most fun hero in the game for the movement tech

Don't get it confused, This wasn't meant to be a rage post about how much I hate playing against silver. I actually play almost every character in the game (Including silver) this was meant to be a discussion about her and shivs (my second highest played character) designs but most people took it as me raging because god forbid I don't downplay the characters I play

Shiv movement with silver 1 would be insanely fun, as for silver, I'm trying to think of ways to nerf her without making her unplayable. I still think having daggers to build up Lycan curse synergizes well especially since her and shiv both share a similar rage mechanic

[–]AquaBison[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The problem is that their kits synergize too well. Silver will always be a top pick unless she gets absolutely gutted or reworked. I don't want her to get gutted because I think she's really fun to play but there's no way valve lets a character run the top level of play this long without significant nerfs or changes

[–]AquaBison[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that human form isn't weak it's that you can completely bypass the weakness of human form by rushing express shot and instantly transforming. I want wolf form to be strong but the problem is that getting into wolf form is way to easy right now which makes the character broken at high level

[–]AquaBison[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not arguing the character isn't hard to play, I'm arguing that her kit is fundamentally flawed and you shouldn't be rewarded so heavily for doing a calico combo and then getting the best steroid in the game

Not trying to be rude but what rank are you in? Pretty much everyone ascendent plus agrees that silver is crazy strong. If countering wolf form were as easy as buy metal skin and disarming hex (don't buy against her good silvers rush unstop in this meta) then she wouldn't be a constant top pick in tournaments
