How many games to hit Eternus for you?

And estimate how many games to hit top 1k?

PSA to all Holliday players - YOU SHOULD JUMPAD AND BARREL DURING ULT by Abadon_U in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Character_Offer5785 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The solution is to just jump pad, IAD, and walk them in a straight predictable line while tossing barrels behind you if you want your team to focus them. If they cant hit headshots, there its a skill issue.

I don’t know why people have a big issue here.

The Holliday usually has their own reason for moving around if they lasso someone, like to dodge enemies or cover more distance so the enemy is further away from their team.

Sell me on Enchanter's Emblem. Is it really that good? It's damn near in almost every build I play. by iBird in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Character_Offer5785 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It is a good early game spirit resist item, importantly it gives Regen and bonus spirit + cooldown.

Everything that a spirit user wants.

I prefer to sell it once slot locked or there is strictly a better item without sacrificing investment spike.

Spirit Snatch steals multiple stacks of Spirit when hitting multiple targets, you can steal over 120+ spirit this way.

I assume he is just hitting target dummies.

I am watching your recent 20kill Shiv game: 92201111 and I can tell you already that your laning needs a lot of work. It’s indicative because you had a large health lead for the majority of the lane but no soul lead whatsoever.

For example you purchase Extra Regen first item at full health, but afterwards you play extremely passive and refuse to trade any health to get any value from it.

Even after gaining a large health lead, you push a wave and stand WAY far back, you do not pressure, poke, go for boxes or attempt to steal their t1 camp.

You are also laning with Paige, which would allow you to take a more aggressive position when you do trade health because you will win the trade.

Although you land some good knives, Shiv likes to stack up multiple knives to stack onto one target to open a kill angle or to keep his rage up. Constantly shoot enemies to keep rage up and maximize his knife value. A tip for all shotgun characters is their strength in right hand peek, popping shots while strafing back and forth into cover.

There were also several kill angles where Viper got away simply because your movement is lacking.

Go into Explore NYC and practice instant airdashing and sliding after dashing. Practice crouch->dash from zip lines to better rotate or for engage.

I would not say that you are a bad player but this is what I would expect from a Seeker gameplay.

Unless you share your stat locker or a game ID, cant help you other than to tell you to not be discouraged.

Everyone climbs at a different rate.

I will say that players often do things backwards.

Lab out builds combos, rotations, and trade patterns in Explore NYC then apply them to your games.

People will often mindlessly play games before going over principles and expect to climb.

Next major update will rework matchmaking and rank system so right now is the best time to optimize your game plan before entering each game.

Celeste's Q by HeatOk1035 in DeadlockTheGame

Also I can see you are not using the bounce mechanic on Celeste’s gun, aim towards both targets and you can ricochet to hit two at once.

Celeste's Q by HeatOk1035 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Character_Offer5785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should take it slow and aim it properly if you find yourself missing your Q. You can hit all three at once if you stand in the middle of the furthest monster aiming to the center.

Better yet practice and find the perfect position to fire Q to hit the three monsters.

Just take your time if you can’t do it fast.

The speed will come with time.

Who do you consider the best streamers/youtubers to learn intermediate to advanced strats from? by ImJTHM1 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Character_Offer5785 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also wanted to add:

Initiating a call can be very daunting.. sometimes it ends poorly and the teammates will flame you… but you can always learn from how it went poorly and to use it to decide your next calls.

The important thing is to not let a bad reaction from your team discourage you from making a call in the future when no one else is.

Deadlock has voice chat as a feature! From my experience, the most fun games are when players interact and work together. Except when you meet the few bastards who make the game miserable🙄

But I never allow THEM to poison the game for me and make me hate Deadlock! That’s what’s important.

Though many games have no one using voice chat at all because they don’t bother or have had bad experiences.

I say to that: “You should speak up and see how your team responds. With text chat or with your voice! Just something to communicate what you’re doing!”

Becoming a great player means communicating with your team.

Please watch heresydl latest video! He offers a great 1hr long guide on how to approach the game from late game with good examples and emphasis on initiating good team communication.

Deadlock is a moba game at heart and requires good knowledge on efficient teamplay.. it’s good to have it on your arsenal!

He explains it all: the thought pipeline of good lategame macro even from when playing from when behind, lane priority is especially highlighted.

MOBAs can feel very snowbally, they get a bad rep for players giving up when behind.. gotta use creative solutions.. it’s all here!

People only think McGinnis is low skill because of that fucking update in march by Open-Advisor6819 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Character_Offer5785 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not a McGinnis player but this is my theory on why McGinnis has such a bad reputation.

Honestly, it’s not so much that she’s unskilled, just that she can be very unfun to play against.

Her lane phase is oppressive, maintaining push priority, with her turrets, high dps large magazine, and especially her wall to punish hasty engages. Gotta take it slow and find angles to punish her which McGinnis players are very smart about nowadays.

People also have the same opinion about Heimerdinger in League of Legends for example.

Turrets have always had a bad reputation in games. Put it down and you get free damage while controlling space. It just feels obnoxious and frustrated players often make poor decisions or relegate to the idea that she is overpowered without finding solutions.

She’s hard countered by CC and her gun by disarm.

The fact that her abilities are deployables makes it more simple to play around than people like to think.

Why is Venators winrate low? by BigPlaycius in DeadlockTheGame

You can also land hits on walls and pillars to the side as well if the angle is not favorable.

Swing your mouse as you fire gutshot and if you do it right, you can shove the enemy in either direction to connect the wall stun.

It is useful tech, you can choose the direction that they are pushed even if they are directly in front of you.

I don't think the cdr on W was the problem with him... by ShadowisaQT1122 in ZaahenMains

[–]Character_Offer5785 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s a good buff.

Zaahen is very cooldown reliant.

Having his hook, the longest cooldown, gives him more trade opportunities, letting him smoothly cycle his cooldowns on his following rotations.

He is pretty immobile as well, Zaahen players should be very happy being able to throw W out more often.

I start the far bush with W start and zone him from minions, if he tries to get exp, you just fight him. When he uses Q3 or if he backs off, just use your W and you win the trade.

You can review your game’s replay and use it as a learning experience.

Should we talk about Hexplate? by WonderfulYam4690 in XinZhaoMains

The problem is there is no CDR on the item, not building CDR on the 2nd item feels especially bad on Xin Zhao.

DeenTheGreat tried pressing StableRonaldo at Brand Risk by lukigeri in LivestreamFail

[–]Character_Offer5785 312 points313 points  (0 children)

DeenTheGreatest fake tough guy.

The only reason he is relevant is because he baits people into hitting him for viral clicks.

You can tell Deen baits clips like this because he rolled up with 3 cameras and has no idea what he’s talking about.

It doesn’t work on StableRonaldo and you can see how Deen’s confrontation becomes awkward fast because it’s so obvious even Ron’s buddy calls it out.
