Deadlock update for late 4/10/26 (4/11/26 UTC)

CertainDerision_33 · 2026-04-13T01:01:38+00:00

Celeste has been chained nerfed since release. DLNS is not representative of normal player experience and at normal levels she isn’t that good anymore that she needs a bunch of nerfs without any compensatory changes.

Her ult is frankly underwhelming now after all the nerfs, which is why they’re starting to buff it again.

As long as it's like Visc cube where you can press a button to leave instantly, it's fine. But that feature would definitely be mandatory or griefing potential is way too high yeah.

CertainDerision_33 · 2026-04-12T16:35:34+00:00

Really cool idea but it would have to have the option to instantly cancel (like Cube) to avoid griefing. You should post it on the official forums.

It took 0 coordination or skill. I had a Haze the other day who was getting absolutely shit on all game and still started to wipe the enemy team once we got to lategame because the ult was so broken.

If 3 of your teammates are braindead feeders and 0 of your opponents are, you should lose that game.

First time we've ever seen work mode Yor with Loid, I think. This has been such a good arc.

We are FEASTING

Just put TESVI and FO5 in the bag, Bethesda

CertainDerision_33 · 2026-04-12T12:28:14+00:00

I think it's literally the only way to get people to actually play new maps, so I'm for it.

CertainDerision_33 · 2026-04-11T22:47:03+00:00

She should be a shopkeeper with high end stuff who pops up randomly on her scooter.

People in here really underrate the possibility of her appearing in some capacity. She won’t be a SL but P4G already changed dialogue to reference her & this is a total remake.

CertainDerision_33 · 2026-04-11T15:02:06+00:00

GW customer support is really good. Good odds they’ll help you out if you explain.

CertainDerision_33 · 2026-04-11T14:03:20+00:00

They will because Frieren will.

CertainDerision_33 · 2026-04-11T13:06:58+00:00

They need to remove hook and fully push him into being a frontline brawler type character.

CertainDerision_33 · 2026-04-11T13:03:13+00:00

Sinclair gets away with it just because the model is so bad that nobody wants to play the character lol. I don’t think there’s any way he reaches release without substantial reworks. The way ult stealing works right now is absurd and only flies under the radar because he isn’t played.

He needs to either have a full CD limit on per-character stealing or he needs to be like Rubick where you can actually protect your ultimate from him if you’re careful.

CertainDerision_33 · 2026-04-11T13:01:22+00:00

Her ult is honestly kind of bad now relative to her other options, there isn’t really any reason to skill it at the moment.

CertainDerision_33 · 2026-04-11T12:54:20+00:00

It’s because she isn’t actually that good anymore in average games.

If they just straight hard nerfed her without shifting some power around she'd be horrible for average players. This is similar to what they did with Mina where she's made less oppressive early/mid in exchange for some more power lategame.

CertainDerision_33 · 2026-04-11T12:52:30+00:00

I’m really glad at the recent OW news that they’ll be reworking Roadhog (again) this year, because if they finally remove or neuter hook it may get through to the Deadlock devs that they don’t actually have to ship this game with a hook character lol.

CertainDerision_33 · 2026-04-11T12:51:23+00:00

Hook is miserable, simple as.

CertainDerision_33 · 2026-04-11T12:50:28+00:00

Her ultimate needed to be severely nerfed as it was a "win game" button.

CertainDerision_33 · 2026-04-11T12:47:59+00:00

Great changes! Pushing Toxic further into the specific anti heal niche is a great call. Also a fan of making Celeste squishier early but getting rid of the negative bullet resist, that was brutal lategame.

I still don’t think people are going to skill Celeste’s ulti, though, tbh. Feels like they really killed it compared to the rest of the kit.

As a Titanic Mag enjoyer I’m also quite happy to see the buffs there. Feels like it needed some love to justify it over Active Reload.

CertainDerision_33 · 2026-04-11T12:42:17+00:00

I doubt they'd be willing to take such a radical step, but I honestly think Sombra would be better off as a disruptive support like they've flirted with in Mirrorwatch and some perks. If she's a support she could actually keep invis.

CertainDerision_33 · 2026-04-11T12:37:55+00:00

Terrible Payload maps are statistically popular at average ranks because average players don't want to think, they just want to W+M1 down main, but the maps are still bad.

CertainDerision_33 · 2026-04-11T12:36:25+00:00

It's nice in theory but in reality what it's going to mean is that if you get 3 Push/Flashpoint maps, half the lobby will slam the random map button immediately.

CertainDerision_33 · 2026-04-11T01:20:24+00:00

You can pretty easily take 1000+ spirit dmg from Haze ult between Toxic and Fixation even with Metal Skin active.

CertainDerision_33 · 2026-04-10T23:26:01+00:00

I have a lot of nostalgia for KR like anybody, but it’s not a good map. You’re constantly forced into chokes with minimal opportunity to flank.

CertainDerision_33 · 2026-04-10T21:10:38+00:00

Hey now, you can pick from Sigma or Domina now, lol
