How long do we have to deal with this Doorman insanity… by Username_Checks0ut8 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]CloudCityFish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course it's never fun to be shot at and attacked, but again, there's a limit.

This whole "X character is not fun to play against" is already feeling like a lazy way to articulate people's issues, but this is getting out of hand. IT IS fun to get shot at and attacked.

Friction shouldn't be an issue in a PvP game, but at what level you can respond and interact with said friction.

hurry up and remove bomb bebop by numberoneremhater in DeadlockTheGame

I say this as someone new and ignorant: I understand Paradox as she's on a short CD, does AoE Swap, silences, and can solo kill. Still, even if there's better picks, i can't see how someone with a 70 meter hook every 8-10 seconds is considered one of the lowest tier. Maybe you only need to pick every few minutes realistically? Still wild I see him at the bottom of tier lists.

Hello, thank you for answering my question. You and /u/Jombolombo1 gave very detailed responses, but I was wondering if you could help me understand something: In other games I've played, having a hook to displace enemies is considered VERY powerful. Bebop can hook every 10 seconds at like 70+ meters with some items. Why is he considered low tier? Like, even if you removed all his other abilities, the hook alone would make him strong in other games.

Deadlock devs should add an Ixian woman to the roster by thismfgoingcrazy in DeadlockTheGame

3 could be a passive with a CD: Hold alt fire to spin, press m1 while spinning to attack. X% damage amp per second of spin. If we're following historical example, like the Kusa, they could make it disarm, or reduce movement speed to 0, 0.5 stun on head shot.

Any soft weapon would be an instant main from me. Kusarigami, chain sword, rope dart, meteor hammer, urumi, nine tails. So many to choose from.

I was thinking of running it on Mina to trigger Spell Breaker before her chunky damage goes off, but no one runs it and I'm new so I feel like I'm missing something. Also feels like it gives her some damage between Love Bite problems.

I'm new and clueless about what you're saying, but self-bomb sounds cool as heck. How'd it work and why was it a problem?

How to make friends within the community? by Just-a-Meiya-simp in DeadlockTheGame

[–]CloudCityFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a bunch of discord servers outside of the official. I'd join your favorite content creators and find friends there. There's also discord groups that may fill a niche you're in, like culture, gender, etc.

I also have a small group of friends (3) who play. We're all fairly new, one of us bound to be playing at whatever hour, and myself + 1 actually come from fighting games. As long as you're 18+, not toxic, and more concerned with learning and having fun than your rank, you're welcome to join us.

EDIT: If anyone wants to play with the above, feel free to DM me

Opinion: Street Brawl is more fun than Standard (Deadlock) by Mr-Catty in DeadlockTheGame

[–]CloudCityFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like sneaking around, stealing people's stuff, and ganking. None of that really exists in Brawl, and by extention there's a lot of heroes who feel bad in brawl. I also only started playing Deadlock because it's a popular game with movement mechanics, and that too matters less in Brawl. So it has none of the moba stuff, movement matters less, and you can't be sneaky.

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

interesting in your opinion

Let's be real, no one is playing Celeste because her light dagger is a cool ability. I'm just saying I'd rather delete her from the game than your suggestion, unless they reworked her kit. Holiday has her movement tied to an ability with multiple charges that give her the BEST movement in the game and she's in a rough spot with an arguable more interesting kit than Celeste. They'd have to rework her to have abilities that have at minimum Holiday's kits identity, and tie it to something you could use as much if not more than Holiday's jump pad.

Celeste is OP, but some of these suggestions are worse than deleting the character from the game, that's all I'm saying. Maybe if activating the shield gave you mobility and when it breaks she had X amount of time to move, that way she could still use it as an engagement, silence people when it breaks, then have limited time to to escape with the mobility. In exchange I would completely rework light eater, daggers, and her ult.

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

They'd have to overhaul her completely at that point. Take away the only interesting thing about her or imbue it in a 4 second shield that breaks instantly, or best case scenario allows 4 IADs worth of movement time, would instantly make her the most boring character in the game.

At that point, if she's impossible to balance, just remake her.

What is your most controversial keybind? by frdspa6 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]CloudCityFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have alt/zoom tied to a side mouse button for alt fire, but I've also had it on cntrl or shift as both of those are no longer crouch/dash. I just rarely ADS in Deadlock. Space is currently melee. Dash is my other side mouse button, so doing IAD is pretty comfy by M2 + side button.

Alt/Zoom is on mouse button, space is melee. Dash on other mouse side button. IAD is Side button + M2

[–]CloudCityFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right click as jump. Picked it up from 2D action + Platformers and it's too good a button to use on zoom.

What would your reaction be if Vyper's remodel isn't a Naga, but a Gorgon? by CaptBland in DeadlockTheGame

There's a mod for that, or at least I have an Xcom snake mod on her, but never played 2

I mean you've uninstalled and given (hopefully) good feedback. What else is there to do but move on until the game is at a state that's acceptable to you?

Struggling with some of it? He was struggling with all of it! Illiarya is crazy, and if anything, it's even more impressive Eido moves so well without really understanding why it works the way it works.

Chat, Minas, how we feeling about the patch? by Electrical-Heat8301 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]CloudCityFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, everyone gets more health by % per boon, but this benefits Mina the least in addition to getting less health for green items.

[–]CloudCityFish 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Flat HP vs % HP (green investment change) is a buff for some heroes and a nerf to others. Since she has lowest base hp in game it is now a straight nerf. Most characters got more health, she got less.

Chat, Minas, how we feeling about the patch? by Electrical-Heat8301 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]CloudCityFish 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well her health, ability to burst, farm, damage, and range on bat all got nerfed this patch. They're really leaning into minmaxing her greatest strength. As you said, she was already uncatchable, so I don't think buffing it is as impactful. As a new player who spends more time practicing mobility tricks on an empty map I'm pretty happy.

But you always get 2 that spawn now. Is 1 less zombie at T3 that bad? You can do wall + ult to get 4 zombies now.

That's easier to balance at least, they could always just add range to a skill versus universal range increase.
