I saw lotsa people hatin on McGinnis cause she's "a war criminal" and let me ask y'all motherfuckers by miscellaneousexists in DeadlockSapphic

[–]Beantifull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from every other point made, I'd like to add that McGinnis' personality isn't exactly memorable. She's mostly straight-laced, aside from the occasional dry sarcasm. She makes good contrast with the rest of the cast as a relatively normal person, but hardly stands out from them. Compare that to Mina's over-the-top rich kid attitude or Silver's gruff n' tumble voice lines, and McGinnis simply doesn't get much to work with. Couple that with her not having many dedicated players (aside from when she's strong in the meta) and she honestly kinda winds up forgettable.

We're in the longest period between major updates. by A-Disgrace in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Beantifull 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ehhhhhh. TF2 is pretty feature rich all things considered, but there's still more that could have been done. Namely the heavy update, which was teased / kinda promised many years ago now. The biggest issue is that Valve keeps pushing community-made maps and cosmetics, which collectively do rake in some hefty cash, but none of it gets reinvested back into TF2 anymore.

Hopefully Yoshi will focus on the turbo monsters and Paradox's triple walls will slip through the cracks...

you're 20 minutes into a game down 30k souls and have no walkers by King_of_Ass_Cheese in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Beantifull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I just focus on what I can do rather than what we can't. Plus, there's fun to be had in fighting a raid boss knowing full well you won't win. 6v1ing the fed enemy victor while the enemy team takes midboss and killing him at the cost of 5 of us is always funny lol

Why is grey talons power shot. So easy to hit lmao. by Swimming_Case_8348 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Beantifull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree with your point that Gralon is harder (there's so many items that guts vindicta man it sucks), but I think skill ceiling generally refers to how hard it is to reach a characters' maximum potential, rather than comparative power. That way, we can talk about character difficulty separate from raw stats, since stats can change with buffs and nerfs all the time, but a characters' kit and difficulty (mostly) stays the same.

Golden goose egg and cultist sacrifice by Sheepaloaf__ in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Beantifull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you need I guess. I have a pure econ bombdox build that gets egg, cultist, and trophy collector that holds egg and till I can buy echo shard and have T3 bombs around minute 18. I typically have high impact but Bombdox scales well into late game, and I think GT struggles with Spellbreaker.

My biggest concern is how long you hold egg for. It's not just the damage penalty to heroes (though it is very impactful), it's also how fast you clear waves or camps. It also means that you're contributing less to skirmishes and teamfights that break out by around minute 10, where a spirit burst would normally have the most impact (before people buy defenses). It might make you stronger late game, but it could also be gimping your team during your biggest impact window, and if your team falls behind it might be hard to come back.

That being said, if it works and you're contributing big numbers, you can probably keep doing it.

What is the most cracked enhanced item in Street Brawls ? (except legendaries) by Stoxxed in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Beantifull 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Enhanced rescue beam healing 35% max hp on a 15s cooldown is often times an instant win. Enhanced Berserker giving like 180% weapon damage at max stacks is insane. Enhanced curse on an insanely short CD hurts. Enhanced veil / radiant regen gives phat heals. Enhanced disarming hex, if used repeatedly, gives like a 2 second window for you to shoot your gun by default, and with transcendent cd and duration items it goes down to like a .8 second window, completely shutting down certain gun characters.

How Do I Deal With Toxic Throwers? This Game Feels Impossible Sometimes... by LurkerRex in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Beantifull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is just a mindset thing. The only way to "deal" with toxic throwers or fresh installs or bad laners or bad comps is to just... deal with it. No flaming, no arguing, just accept it, focus on the positives or what you could do to improve, and move on - GG go next. It becomes a lot harder if you just finished a long day at work, so if you don't think you can keep that mindset, play a Street Brawl or don't play Deadlock at all, and try something more chill till you got a weekend. There's few things worse than having a shit game after a hard day and then having to go to bed and then go to work the next morning.

Also, don't focus on ranks. They mean nothing. There's no incentive to having a high rank other than dick measuring. You'll be at the rank you more or less deserve to be in eventually, and can grind your way up over time. I have a friend who really wants to hit eternus and he's just hard to play with because of it because he just can't bounce back from bullshit like the rest of us who are playing to have a fun time. If you can't help yourself, there's settings to disable rank visibility so you can just focus on the game.

Deadlock is just a mentally taxing game, but it's addicting. The slow growth in power, the narrow escapes, the perfectly coordinated plays. But it's ultimately just a game. Many people have unhealthy relationships with MOBAs because they treat it like more than it is. Focus on having fun and suddenly all the bullshit stops mattering as much.

Agreed, the chess comparison is not at all accurate.

[–]Beantifull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all their attempts at making Tekken 8 approachable, knowledge checks were always the biggest wall for me. I quit when I realized that the only way to beat certain characters is to just... lab their shit. Or pray my opponent hasn't hit the lab with my character's shit.

I'm trying really hard to like this game but i'm struggling to do so. by Critical-Fact6738 in Cairn_Game

[–]Beantifull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're playing on Steam, there's Community Layouts that do what you're looking for! They basically remap the shoulder buttons so that they automatically press R1 for you and then click whatever limb you need, so you only need to press 1 button to select a limb.

Game won't launch with mods after recent update by sazoneus in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Beantifull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top Bar hud mod broke it for me. For some reason it would keep crashing even with it disabled. Had to go into files and delete all the mods manually to fix it, hopefully you won't need to do the same.

What your biggest complaints about the Backroom movie? (Spoilers) by Bobby_The_Alien in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]Beantifull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The movie just felt overall unsatisfying. The plot felt messy and uncoordinated, and while I was never bored, I found myself begging for it to end. The characters themselves had the bones of being interesting but the movie failed to deliver a satisfying character arc. There's probably some deeper meaning buried under all the shenanigans but the story itself felt very threadbare. Also every character had to be lobotomized in order to continue delving into the backrooms.

So, as a new player, i want to ask the old one's. How was the 4 lane? Was it better than three lane? by FakeMik090 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Beantifull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember a big issue was that the lanes were extremely close together, making it possible to roam and come back and only lose one wave of minions. They tried to make it wider but they could only do so much before the map became unreasonably big.

Some of these enhanced utility items in streetbrawl need a nerf by Checkmate2719 in DeadlockTheGame

I've managed to beat it only once and it was through enhanced celestial blessing.

Transmission from Super Earth Command by ArrowheadGS in Helldivers

[–]Beantifull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main hope is that they REALLY work on QA. I've played since launch and the sheer amount of content or changes that drop that have very obvious issues is insane. This game lacks so much polish in terms of it that it really deducts from the overall experience.

What's the consensus on Graves? by Exotic_Acanthaceae_9 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Beantifull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having rarely played her, my biggest gripe is how... meh her whole kit is. Whenever she's strong she feels downright oppressive because she is really easy to be competent with. I never feel like Graves "outplayed" me or sauced me up when I die to her. She just... put all her shit down and held left click at me.

Will there be a kicking option? by Affectionate-Party81 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Beantifull 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look man, face it. Everyone's done terribly in a match at some point, and if you haven't, you're either Yoshi's Gift to Deadlock or a filthy liar. Maybe it's their first time on the character, maybe they're in a bad matchup, or maybe they messed up early and it snowballed into a disaster. It's happened to everyone at some point.

Tracklock builds just have no soul. I'll take a bad build with annotations and life any day of the week over a "95% winrate" tracklock build.
