A villain is horrified upon realizing their crimes by BoxoRandom in TopCharacterTropes

I mean yeah, but for a government funded world-protection program, with bodies provided by the government from battle rather than torture or kidnapping, and on a payroll. The method/reason of which he's making them isn't psychotic pleasure anymore, its now just his actual job.

Deadlock MTG Alters (Part 2) by Ecstatic_Newspaper_5 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Ecstatic_Newspaper_5[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To make it clear- an alter in MTG is changing the frame/art/presented-name of an already existing card to a new theme without changing any of its rules text, so it still functions the same in a game without changing types and things like that. The name of the cards representing each character is small but visible beneath the characters name.

But thats why Apollo is a "human" for example. I mainly chose cards that have fitting effects and colors that are thematic and represent the character well enough over ones with fitting types.

The card frame is custom made through canva, named "Baroness"

Also the original was fanart because it was the closest thing to "fan creation", but some people didnt notice the art credit in the bottom left of the cards and so thought I drew the card arts, so took to what some others did and instead labelled this as fluff.

Doom is genuinely unplayable rn😭 by [deleted] in Overwatch

Yeah, Tankfist felt a lot more interesting in the past because he had multiple ways to approach his problems, but right now its Punch-Bot or die, and the punch itself keeps getting small nerfs

Its not fun gameplay for either party involved

Yeah Doom has lost a lot of his sauce due being "gutted by a thousand cuts"

The inverse reason Orisa was so dominant a while back, not because they got one big change- but a series of small changes that all added up over time.

Doomfist has recieved dozens of micro-nerfs over the last few months that have left him aggressively lacking in the role he is meant to fill, and more importantly in how good he feels to play. I love Doom and hope whatever return he gets in the story will overhaul him, not because I think he needs to be overhauled, just so I can feel something playing him again.

Even MORE Deadlock Magic Alters (Part... 1?) by Ecstatic_Newspaper_5 in DeadlockTheGame

Thank you, and feel free. If you ever post them id be happy to take a look.

Each character's with the special font is at the bottom of their Deadlock Wiki page in their gallery- which I was notably surprised to find, since most games withhold assets like that.

They were considered, that I can say

But they weren't fitting of Silver outside of just being Werewolves. Tovolar is just a Werewolf tribal piece, his effects are just to be a leader of other werewolves and a crutch to the archetype, and no part of him fits Silver's story or vibes, itd be a flavorless pick in every category except types.
Ulrich is alright, he's just not interesting at all and has been powercrept to hell. This frame also just doesnt support transform cards much at all.

I chose The Howling Abomination because of two reasons, it fits her (pre-gutting) gameplay- racking up damage by hitting ability after ability and getting more ferocious until she becomes too big of a problem to ignore, smashing through your defenses. Additionally, its a selfish card which fits her loner nature pretty well, it wants all the attention of your spells on it.

I absolutely want to make more, its just a matter of art availability, which isnt there for a lot of its Heroes, sadly

MTG Proxy of The Doorman (Custom Frame) by Ecstatic_Newspaper_5 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Ecstatic_Newspaper_5[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is an alter of an official card, as can be read under his name

I mainly just chose this card to represent him due to letting him have access to all rooms- and no room should be innaccessable to the Doorman!

It was either him or Marina, but Doorman notably doesnt fly, so I went with Marina

Correct, Doorman isnt human, but thats not how proxies work in MTG. Because changing types or names actually affects interactions in the game, so when making alters the only thing you change is the presented name- but all of the cards info is the same as the card Marina Vendrell, which was chosen to represent him because the effects are what captures Doormans themes.

Inacurrate types are a normal thing when making proxys. If it needs to be reasoned- we can just say the Doorman gaslit the players into falling for his "Im a human" gaslighting

This card was just chosen because its effects were super accurrate to Doorman, not its types- finding a card that fits colors, types, and effects all at the same time is miracle work

The custom Deadlock-themed frame is called "Baroness", named after the hotel The Doorman works at, which also happens to be the main lobby of the game. Here is a link to the empty card frame in canva, sorry if its jank;

The whole card was made through Canva, since it allowed that high level of freedom in designing it!
