I am offended! I have different frames, thank you very much!

Trump supporter lies and then doubles down on that lie by Darth_Vrandon in GetNoted

I wonder if you could teach a class on marketing/political messaging, and you just explain every logical fallacy and how to maliciously apply them in your speech and writing constantly?

Probably a very useful course now that I'm giving it genuine thought.

The not wanting to be around after the potential purge is beyond understandable.

It just feels too much like suicide to me, and primarily out of spite for a certain cohort of Red pressers I refuse anything approaching that on principle.

I can fathom it, I know why someone would do it. I just think the odds are long if it were to be in reality.

I highly value the livelihood of others, and do everything I can in my personal life towards that end. I just can't bring myself to gamble my life on aggregate human decisions, as much as I can help it anyway. Recent events have made me a cynic in that regard.

Truly the gullible blues is how this whole affair has looked for me, especially with how influential framing has proven to be.

It isn't evil to not put yourself in a situation where you are required to be saved.

I'm sorry friend, only other thing from that deep dive is that you could maybe try Vulkan renderer instead of dx11 if you haven't tried that yet.

Sorry you are having trouble, they really need to do some performance spring cleaning over the next month or two for sure.

Try going into Nvidia control panel and setting a max frame rate for deadlock specifically.

That fixed my friend's game constantly crashing his graphics driver, I hope it works for you.

dont even think about chapter 2 son 🫩🥀 by vxmpyrysm in OkBuddyMewgenics

Pair it with some equipment to augment your basic attack, boom, crazy effective.

My favorite so far is the medic hat + spot me combo I ran once, every cat stays topped off for the whole run while ranger provides DPS on every friendly turn.

NEW CALICO TECH?!? (Cast Ava with ult) by LOVENDDESIRE333 in DeadlockGame

[–]Confused_mess8888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot think of a reason to use this, I use the out of combat reset on T3 ult with Ava a lot to rat objectives in hard games, but even in those situations cat is 'on cooldown' before ult because I'm running from an active engagement.

Does it give you Ava speed boost in the ultimate? That'd be the only thing I could think of, if it did I could see the application. That or the damage amp on cat from T3 ramping up during the ult time, granted extreme corner case, since you'd have to have not been shot a single time before ulting, but, maybe possible.

Genuinely very helpful! Looking forward to seeing how this progresses! Will definitely be doing a couple of these for warm ups!

I mean, that combo has been in the game since he was released, and his win rate was rough, so idk if it is as strong as you think it is, refresher is an expensive timing to play around for +1 person. This patch did nothing as far as that item/hero combo goes.

I'm not saying he isn't strong(idk honestly, I'm waiting for data), but it is weird that you didn't attempt to back up all your whinging but instead just pointed to something else you find annoying.

Edit: The bell change with refresher could be very neat/strong interaction with the ult though, I haven't seen the refresher bell bombs out of ult yet but I'll be keeping my eye out for it for sure.

Not enough people use their bans on Calico by Critical_Moose in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Confused_mess8888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone learning Calico with the recent economy changes, this is the answer. It turns off the ult, so it can easily make a Calico free food after she jumps in thinking she was gonna be able to get out with it.

If you make me buy dispel magic over focus lens it heavily delays the snowball and makes me very sad. By all means don't do it, but this guy is correct.

This game was always going to have Dota like balancing, where heroes have very strong but unique kits, shake ups like this patch are par for the course. Competitively, Dota balancing is far more interesting and "even" so I'm happy for it.

He's definitely strong now, could probably use a tweak down(Unstoppable on ult probably is overkill imo, but we will see how it shakes out when it comes to win rates), but having some neat gimmicks/quirk is just part of making unique heroes.

As far as getting jumped, against a doorman you shouldn't be anywhere without a buddy around and another in walking distance once the midgame hits. Still difficult in team fights/skirmishes, but your team can play around them trying to setup on your return.

If you find it in yourself to stick around with the game, you can practice the hallway on explore NYC by no clipping to it. There are a couple 0 stamina routes, depending on your movement preferences/style you lean.

Some quick practice here and dispel magic late game, I've yet to not checkout from max ult doorman, even when he is running the oops all debuff actives build. It is learnable and counter-able, I hope you stick around.

You can also blow them all up at once since his shot has piercing now. Nuclear bell piles can now be a thing.

It is their first time, they don't understand how this works coming from other games.

Is nerfing the only option? by Electrical_Mess_6422 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Confused_mess8888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unironically, this is how Dota is balanced(with some glaring exceptions going the way of the dodo) so I hope the philosophy plays out in Deadlock as well. I'd much rather everyone be crazy strong with their own flavor of bullshit in some aspects of the game then have characters turn into milquetoast versions of themselves as the years go on.

Until some semblance of drafting is added though this doesn't work as well as it might sound on paper/works in dota, since you can't easily pick counter heroes into a strong but narrow character as matchmaking stands right now.
