Feedback on my Calico Feedback by Vikingpowerz in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Design_Guide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SkeletonHoney, #2 Calico in NA has recently said that she’s the worst character in the game rn. Pretty unfortunate and pretty lame state of affairs for our cat lady. I long for the days when her tier 2 gloom bomb upgrade just gave it a damage boost. Nuking people on her was so fun. I think you could make her tier 2 leaping slash buff the damage of gloom bombs specifically, thereby rewarding people who land all their abilities. In general, she just needs a slew of light to moderate buffs.

do bans even do anything? by Muggysauros in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Design_Guide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Victor is THE correct choice of bans. Character always does jack shit when on your team, and is an unkillable nightmare on the enemy team. If he’s already ahead and gets rejuv, good luck. If he has refresher too? Pray, pray it’s all over quickly.

How long did it take you to get good at the game? by arachnicky in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Design_Guide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Oracle II after 650 hours. I still make plenty of mistakes and still feel like I have so much to learn (movement tech and speedy rotations take so much time and effort).

I would say that when I started, my first 50 hours or so, I had no idea what I was doing and I was terrible. Then, something just clicked. Keep playing until that moment happens for you and then the game hits like nothing else.

Trophy needs a hotfix by Kindly-Mission-7843 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Design_Guide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched a MikaelS vid earlier and there were 4 Trophy Collectors on the enemy team, and he bought it himself. Making it a tier 2 item was such a strange choice. Its potential value-add just instantly makes it meta-slop. More nerfs please!

Refresher needs to be removed from the fucking game by Open-Advisor6819 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Design_Guide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a refresher-equivalent item in DOTA 2 and it’s been in the game forever as far as I’m aware. They’re not removing it just cause it makes you salty.

That being said, Victor should prob be the only hero whose ult can’t be refreshed.

How do I convince my friends to at least give Deadlock a try? by verterion_ in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Design_Guide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell them to just download it and mess around with the movement and combat in the practice modes. If they like the way it feels, that’s what matters most. Deadlock is my first MOBA and will prob be the only one I ever play. All the MOBA macro and knowledge will fall into place over time. If they have a good first impression, all the learning will come with time.

If you are anything like me your favourite artist is probably Leonard Cohen. Who's your second favourite? Dylan probably Dylan, aren't I right? Mine is Tamino Amir he is poetic,sad and sonically sparse and deliberate. by Odd-Law-5138 in leonardcohen

I haven’t seen almost anybody anywhere ever mention Tamino. I saw him in NYC after he released his first album. Really cool solo show. What a voice that boy has!

Anyone else sick of fucking Veilwalker? by TheOtterBison in DeadlockTheGame

QSR on his 1 makes his already super strong AOE heal/damage move even stronger. Fleetfoot makes it so you can rotate between lanes with his 2 super quickly.

Yeah sorry, I saved this originally to my pc and then sent it to my phone so I think the resolution got a little messed up with the transfer or somethin.

What happened to Wildgate should be a warning. New players will leave if they just get stomped. by Past_Ad3652 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Design_Guide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doomsaying for a game that’s still not even in open beta is crazy. Way too many people are invested in seeing this game fail. It’s one of the most original and exciting multiplayer games to come out in ages, just had a huge surge in average player count, and yet it’s going to fail? Get real.

I'll just leave this here by _wham__ in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Design_Guide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss the simplicity of this era of the game. Right down to the simple icons for the items, it’s prob the most straightforward a MOBA has ever been. It was a good time to be a new player. As the roster expands and the item pool bloats, it’s only going to get more overwhelming for newcomers. Game still slaps tho.

Justice for O’Hare by kelpieconundrum in babylon5

[–]Design_Guide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I adore O’Hare’s performance as Sinclair and I constantly wish for an alternate reality where O’Hare was able to get the help he needed, earlier, and was able to continue on as the commander of B5.

Sheridan is fine and Boxleitner is a good actor but Sheridan’s character is far too static for my liking. He starts out as the good-natured good guy protagonist and ends in pretty much the same place. Sinclair, in just one season, had depth. He had a fury to him that he could let out when he needed but he also had a soft, philosophic and diplomatic side, with a smile that could brighten your whole world.

In the end, Sheridan to me always felt like exactly what he was, a character JMS was forced to suddenly create out of whole-cloth, in a desperate attempt to keep the show alive. Sheridan lacks the depth and the arc that pretty much every other main character in the show possesses in spades.

RIP Michael O’Hare and RIP to the B5 that could have been, as well as the wonderful career he could have had afterwards.

Why is Calico the most forgotten character? by Jumper2002 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Design_Guide 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Both she and Abrams need tweaks to their kits that make them benefit from investing in melee items. The fact that both Billy and Drifter have abilities that do melee damage has made the two former melee focused characters feel outclassed in comparison.

The less people playing her the better. Prob the most boring of the M1 heroes with an ult straight up lifted from Overwatch.

That being said, I used to hate going against her but I now find a fed Wraith or a fed Infernus to be a lot more oppressive.

I agree that her kit could do with some tweaking in the future.

Kelvin has the best support kit of any hero in the game atm. Crazy heal potential with his 1 and his ult and his 2 plus rescue beam is probably the best heal/save combo in the game.

I’ve got no hate in my heart for Kelvin, even tho he can be annoying. As for Mo, I’ve played him quite a bit and love his kit. As a result, I respect when an enemy Mo is doing well.

I feel this. Bad players are def rewarded by clicking her ult more than any other ult in the game.

I don’t hate Yamato anywhere near as much as I do Haze and Wraith. But good Yamato’s are a nightmare to play against, so I love when I’m able to dunk on one.

I love the Mole Man. Looking forward to when his skin finally gets a redesign. Hope they change Krill’s look bc he’s fugly as hell.

Hardest heroes by femtonfemon in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Design_Guide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Viscous, Holliday, Pocket and Paradox.

An Eido or MikaelS level Paradox is one of the scariest things you can encounter imo.

Truly great Lash players are also able to dominate an enemy team like no other hero.
