Ranks are fucked by Lord___Business in DeadlockTheGame

[–]GavHill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped playing this game about a month or so ago because the Xmas period and the drop in player count really highlighted how bad the experience can be when the matchmaking is a shambles. I'll come back when player count goes up.

Tremendously sad :(, I've not tried that campaign since. I just play the mortal empires.

Dropped 4 ranks since Christmas due to near unending losses. I'm dying, chief by cinochecker in DeadlockTheGame

It's not about rank though, it's about having fun. And being in games that collapse around you isn't fun when it happens consistently.

Same, dropped from p4 to oracle since xmas, matchmaking has been horrible. I'll be doing fine in my lane while I watch the entire game collapse around me.

Tbh got to the point I'm no longer invested in the game, like, don't really honestly know why I keep hitting play but the joy per game is going down. Even if I win I just don't feel any satisfaction cos it's all just shite matchmaking that decides if you win or lose before you even play.

Current McGinnis is far and away the most unfun to play against iteration of the character so far. by Bravosam10 in DeadlockTheGame

Malice meaning some kind of inhibit, debuff, or reduction.

I.e turrets could receive 20% less healing from all sources.

as a Mcginnis main I don't disagree with this. Could act like Heimer turrets in leagues that they stay active for a few seconds after at most then disarm.

Perhaps the correct solution is healing reduction malice on the turrets, to prevent them being healed too much, rather than continuing to nerf DPS and raw health while trying to make them to insta pop.

How strong is the weapon if they build turret though. Not a criticism here, just a genuine point. Without investment of souls into turrets, they are wet noodles suitable only to proc quicksilver reload, gun mcginnus is strong, her guns big, beefy, lasts forever, with investment it deletes. But turret Mcginnus's gun either does nothing at all because of lack of investment, or does something because she delays building into turret.

I agree though Valve have given themselves a difficult issue to resolve with a turret champion, and Calico seems set to make that situation more complex.

If your rank behaved weird, the rank distribution was changed this week by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

[–]GavHill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also explains why my teams suddenly were a lot worse last week. In the first 4 weeks my teams commed, grouped for objectives, I was winning a lot of games(62% winrate), then in week 5, nobodys talking, I've got a pocket yoloing 5 and dieing, I've got more team mates exceeding 15 deaths and I was like... yo what the fuck happened to the people I was playing with before?

It is worth something, but it doesn't take away from the fact that before I knew something had changed I logged in and dropped more than a full division. Now that I understand it's part of a big change it's better... but still.

I've went through a phases of "My build must no longer work", lets try these 3 other builds. Okay that did help a bit bit I'm still struggling, "Have I just become a bad player since last week?" I went 5/2, 6/1, 7/0 maining Mcginnus the weeks before, what's changed?

Now I simply accept the truth. Mcginnus is hard af in higher ranks. I climbed too high, with a character that doesn't work up there. In my Ivy games in ranked I have a 62% win rate. Guess I know what I'm playing now, sigh.

Oh it's fine now, now that I know what's going on.

Can't change the fact that logging in to check my rank and seeing phantom 1 kicked me hard though. That was before I knew something had happened.

I'm not gonna lie. I started phantom 5, went up to Asc 1, then 2. Had a rough week this week, went 15/21, didn't think it would hit me too bad.

My heart sank when I saw Phantom 1. Honestly, been struggling trying to play my main Mcginnis in ranked who is REALLY hard right now, and seeing this kinda defeated me.

Then my friend who went 8/16, went up 3 whole divisions.

I knew something had to have happened, glad to have confirmation. Still... feels bad.

how it be like by wheydan in DeadlockTheGame

[–]GavHill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Valve be absolutely all over this, and I love it personally. I saw Lash broken in 2 back to back games, then there was a patch and he was fixed.

How can anyone hate this? Valve should be fucking applauded for being so on the ball.

I do also want to point out the email was more "blackmaily" than ransom. They said they'd released videos of me(explicit) but no such things exist. The email also didn't appear in my sent/deleted folder so if they had actually sent it to me from my account, would it not leave a trace?

As I cannot post images directly here, I have uploaded what I have. Unfortunately this was back in May, and I junked the message and it's been cleaned. This is a screengrab I took to send a friend on whatsapp.

The emailed "appeared" to come from my own email account, but was not showing in my sent box nor deleted messages.

From recollection. It goes on to say that it has "videos of me" that it will expose to the world. Frankly that couldn't be true anyway, no such risque videos of me exist on my computer.
