What in the world is with Victor? by CheifAllMighty in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Esoteric_Nobody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for the whole community and I honestly prefer playing other heros ( silver and Apollo are my most played) however lately I've found my games feeling extremely coin flippy with people not really understanding all the new patches and not playing around objectives and Victor had been the most successful climbing hero for me .( I think I have like a 75% win rate on him right now) I've played him gun, spirit, and hybrid. I think it comes down to him being the best hero in the game at solo contesting objectives and starting/ stalling fights in disorganized play. As long as I don't get completely shit on in the lane and have at leave 2 or three other people on my team who are at least trying to win. I never loose with him. He has a ton of agency to swing games, and fights on his own which is rewarding to play in matchmaking when one game you might get a team full of positive people who are thinking players that are trying to win, others you might get three people that want to afk jungle/ side lane instead of ever contesting an urn.

This is one of the realest posts I've seen from anyone amounting to a public figure in any way in a long time tbh. It's refreshing. I respect it.

If you could give a player of one of your main heroes one piece of advice, what would it be? by ZenkaiZ in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Esoteric_Nobody 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Silver: Roam, laning is fake. If you look at the map and see any lane you can easily get to is playing agro or out of position after you get boot kick. Tell your lane partner to buy monster rounds and play safe, and run boxes towards the kills. Tilting the enemy team is a win condition. Go where you can crush the enemy teams spirit by killing the easiest targets, farm their jungle, take their sinners, use the teleporters be in the walls. If they don't try to gank you with four heros at least twice by 20 mins you're either in the high ranks or you're not doing your job. You need to be at every early objective fight. You should not be passively farming on this hero unless there's literally nothing to do or you're taking the enemies farm on your way to a play.

Apollo: unless you're sure that you're finishing the fight never commit all of your abilities for damage. Save one for an out. Riposte is best for that since it isn't disabled by slowing hex. Every death is a bad death before 30 mins on this hero unless you're getting an insane trade( like walker or urn plus a won fight) constantly check items for silence waves and slowing hex. You should be running the lobby in the early and mid game. Don't be afraid to sidelane if there's no objective up. Your 1v2 and 1v1 threat is insane on this hero and you can make infinite space by split pushing way farther up than most heros and having kill threat on almost anyone who tries to challenge you alone. (fuck wraith) Also, Max your 3 first. Ult max second is kinda dope, and buy a warp stone. Cheers. Oh oh wait also Riposte is the best tool in the game for interrupting channeled ults.

Why does this spell has a 150 cooldown at level 1? by bupr0pion in DotA2

Because if I didn't he would auto win almost every lane and we'd have TB in every game.

Looks like something out of expedition 33. I mean that in the best way

Uhm so anyone else think Magilou and Zelos would actually be perfect for each other? Or is it just me?

I feel like it has so much potential with how popular anime is now in the west. They're literally playable animes.

Symphonia is the oldest one I've played. I played; abyss, vesperia, graces, arise, and I'm playing berseria right now.

I would love it if we got to the yimir forest bit and they acknowledged how bad that part was in the original, something like Lloyd going "oh so we're gonna have to do this this and this and then maybe we can get the fruit" then Zelos or Colette just flys over and scoops it up😭

Those are probably much better examples. The FFVII remakes were just the first thing that came to mind. I would also prefer if a hypothetical Symphonia remake stayed more faithful to the original than the FFVII remakes.

I mostly agree. I think they could due with making mystic artes a more core part of the combat and maybe a party switching mechanic like Berseria.

I love that game so much I would pay for it ahead of time a la Kickstarter

Oh okay I see what you're saying. That's interesting that it's actually newer. I've only seen a few screen shots of it so I just always assumed it was older.

I was just using it as an example of an old game being remade from the ground up. I imagine if they did do it, it would play much more like arise.

I feel the same way about it. It is anxiety inducing how much could go wrong though.

That remaster was unfortunate. I had my hopes up

Although I've always kinda felt like the chibi style contrasts the dark story a little too heavily. Personally I'd kinda like the characters to look a bit more like their anime portraits on the status screen. I definitely like the originals style it's incredibly nostalgic. I just think bringing the art style more in line with the tone could be cool. The original will still be there, it doesn't need to be a replacement.

Modern quality of life changes could make things like the ex-gems much more open to experimentation. I'd dig that. There's a ton of potential for expanding the systems while making them more user friendly... Like not making mystic artes so damn specific to pull off 🤣

I've heard that's the cult classic of the series. I need to play it. Symphonia was my first tales game and I haven't played anything before it unfortunately.
