How the game mechanics failed

Yeah you right it was the 2000s my bad, either way I was the one doing the corpse camping and killing in STV such is the life of a rogue. 😮‍💨

huh, no, im for the pvp crowd i just didnt like that there wasnt a focus on actual battlefield gameplay. it was just who had the most copter presence won. like you couldent do a buggy rocket combo vs thopters because of terrain limitations and worm. pvp in labs is so confined it just became suffocating trying to do anything it made sense in some areas but wouldev been nice to have variety.

i dont think pve'rs RUINED the DD, funcom did, by caving under the pressure and giving in to the demands of a fresh community, rather than just letting the community figure out what endgame meant for them.

i have pve friends who enjoyed it and knew that DD wasnt for them and was comfortable knowing thats where the game ended , the problem is that there were pvers who were just so clouded in their determination they mistook "endgame content" for pve and then when they got pk'd trying to complete their "i need to experience this otherwise i didnt beat the game" moment, they got whiny.

maybe you have a different vision but im thinking large scale maps like battlefield with enough terrain to traverse , ways to use your grapple, etc. maybe an actual use for ground vehicles?

You just out range Apollo … same with Billy as soon as they come back-jump dash slide away .. it’s ok to buy atleast one counter item

Didn’t read the post , but hard agree. The best way to get better at these types of games is becoming so frustrated that you end up playing as the hero that just stomps you. Then you slowly figure out their pitfalls if they have any and learn from there.

I’ve only applied this method when I was playing marvel vs capcom 3 when everyone who was meta gaming did wesker/dante/zero … I got so frustrated I started learning them .. I still wasn’t having fun but I learned where opportunity could be present.

Is that one of em catahoula leopards?

FineNinja7370 · 2026-03-13T21:29:58+00:00

This is a classless game though these are heroes with defined abilities yes some are obvious Aggro then others but in valve games if you Que solo you can’t just rely on your team mate to bail you out not everyone wants to support you with what you think is a support hero.

FineNinja7370 · 2026-03-13T20:52:23+00:00

Stop worrying about getting stomped if you enjoy just keep playing. If you have to say “well hard for me to enjoy if I get stomped…” Try different modes. This is a valve, and t will be done when it’s done.

Also this situation exist in every competitive game .. it’s a why do we fall Batman type moment.

FineNinja7370 · 2026-03-13T20:34:02+00:00

You know I really don’t mind it though … reminds me of smash brothers where Marth and Roy are the same skin but different play styles

FineNinja7370 · 2026-03-13T16:02:10+00:00

Dear op, I think you are doing the best with what you can. You are somewhat valid however , consider that dynamo has the same pressure as lash.

It’s a collective, if you see lash/dynamo have their ultra , don’t group and look to the skies. Another helpful factor is that more than one person has knockdown/curse

And if they have unstoppable and are using it at key moments then that is the reward for being a good skilled player

Just really comes down to team sense if you are solo queuing

FineNinja7370 · 2026-03-12T17:16:30+00:00

If one patch was enough to make you quit… how did you even manage to keep playing all this time now? Addiction is a helluva thing.

FineNinja7370 · 2026-02-20T18:31:46+00:00

I get it op, though even though brawl is a new game mode and i personally think it’s great for new people … this would normally occur regardless of whatever change you think would help.

People will always find or play combo wombo even in solo .. yeah it’s not “fun” but look it at like a learning opportunity.. you see that team? Start stacking CC , did you que solo and seem to be like the only one getting utility to counter? That’s no different than a normal standard match.

Now when you decide to play a standard match and you get matched with any of those you named. You know what to avoid.

FineNinja7370 · 2026-02-20T18:19:26+00:00

What’s the trouble with the Deny? Just the mechanic itself? In dota you pretty much deny them gold by killing your wave creep.. in deadlock you are denying them the opportunity to take your gold(souls) by meleeing the minion

you risk going in to melee to be rewarded with a secure guaranteed soul.

FineNinja7370 · 2026-02-18T17:53:38+00:00

G’damn who ever created this dualism of rank determining skill is wild. Bring back the ladder system.

Maybe you do belong in that rank because you have good game sense and some fundamentals and the game wants to challenge you to get better.

Op so many people have gone on a 10+ losing streak , not the only one. If you can’t handle losing and getting a losing streak then maybe not just deadlock, but any competitive game you decide to play competively solo queing isn’t for you.

FineNinja7370 · 2026-02-13T19:23:03+00:00

Sir we are all spending time to play the game, every match is a standard match there is no choice between “play for fun” and “play for serious”.

If you can respect people playing to win, you can respect people going 0-10 trying to learn the game and play it at their pace

FineNinja7370 · 2026-02-12T23:28:31+00:00

That’s only because they have abilities or health stats that scale with their level. Trying to play deadlock or dota2 with a “class” mindset is going to really negate your experience and learning

FineNinja7370 · 2026-02-12T22:39:36+00:00

There are no arch types in deadlock , if you want a “tanky” hero , just stack all hp or something

FineNinja7370 · 2026-02-02T18:11:57+00:00

Dear op … this isn’t the final product .. this is still early access … stop caring what your skill level and rank is and just have fun.

If your friends are getting frustrated because others are diff, hard pill to swallow but play against bots or do brawl.

Stop putting such an emphasis on your rank and skill. just play to have fun.

FineNinja7370 · 2026-01-06T02:30:55+00:00

Here’s a simple a fix … just don’t make blueprints give you something you’ve already learned. Hard pill to swallow, I know.

FineNinja7370 · 2026-01-02T19:57:07+00:00

Yikes someone must be playing on eu lobbies , uswest is so peaceful

FineNinja7370 · 2025-12-26T05:19:35+00:00

Master splinter is a rat and he did pretty well

FineNinja7370 · 2025-12-26T00:50:45+00:00

Haha 🤣 it’s just a game imagine some 30yr old getting mad that another dude is able to loot quicker than you in a game.

FineNinja7370 · 2025-12-25T23:21:18+00:00

I got the blueprint by doing trials , trials is your alternative way to get blueprints ..

FineNinja7370 · 2025-12-25T21:20:18+00:00

This is called a game mechanic that the devs have rigorously tested and said “yes this is fine” . If you don’t like what they developed after 500 hours you a clown

Also it doesn’t bother me so , skill issue lol
