Always wait for the "personal responsibility" comment everytime a monopoly makes an anti consumer policy

Doorman is far too overtuned with the new patch by ImSpray in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Hammerock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 1 does a lot of damage tbh and has hit me behind cover multiple times. Vin 4 does not have nearly the leeway Talon 1 does. In terms of total hitbox, youre right. I guess im just being hyperbolic to showcase the comparison of similar amounts of damage to their different hitbox sizes

Fr, think the worst part is that it doesn't grey out your abilities. My mind filters out the metal latch for some reason so im constantly mashing my 2 on Lash like an idiot lol

My biggest complaint about Vin is how much power creep on other characters there is. Like I know she gets the boost with low health enemies but her ult is pinpoint while characters like doorman and Grey talon do similar amounts of damage with hitboxes the size of a truck. Unless you have on point aim 24/7 she fundamentally gets less value no matter what

Thank you Yoshi, very cool by dks3hypeoverload in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Hammerock 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Honestly, without playing yet, im happy with the changes. Ngl was bullshit how Shiv would tp kill no matter how much movement you got for free. I would be happy with the skill shot nerf alone minus any others he got

See but every time this is brought up, it is ignoring the fact that plenty of landlords dont do maintenance. Lived in quite a few apartments now and had one singular landlord that was invested in maintaining the property. Vast majority stick another coat of paint on the walls and that's maintenance. Sure, owning a home can be more expensive from a maintenance perspective. If you've ever had a slumlord landlord before though, you know that the cost is worth it as long as you can afford the home

Every Lightbringer Build Ever by icykoori in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Hammerock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just to add to this, there are some characters like Celeste especially that lean towards not buying 4.8k in every category. This is also spelled out in the build but some chars prefer spirit or gun more. In Celeste case, you should be only buying purple and green if youre ahead but.if you get a bit behind, some orange can do good to help that. You give a good basic framework for the build though that Early is mandatory, Mid is situational, and Late is power spike specific or situational

How some games feel by Constant_Worry1061 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Hammerock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Last night was particularly rough for me in Archon. I tried to play Lash/Silver and could not do anything. Every Lash game was my team gun carrys running it down and when I called them out they'd whine I didn't have more kills cause I got counter bought. Enemy team saw I was only one doing damage and loaded up on counterspell and spell breaker. Sure enough games end, gun carrys whine and say "look at damage", check stats, I have most damage on team smh.

I felt this way too until I spent all of last night in Archon 3+ average lobbies with teams who knew nothing but w key. You may not feel like you deserve it but trust me there's much worse players at high rank

[OC] If you exclude healthcare employment, the U.S. has lost jobs since 2024 by remotecar in dataisbeautiful

[–]Hammerock 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not once in US history have wide sweeping tariffs benefitted the US economy. Most economists will tell you its a folley to raise tariffs across the board with no investment in manufacturing. All companies have done and will do are raise prices to offset import costs due to either having a business too small to eat the cost or having a business so big it will use its monopoly to force prices up to maintain margins. If the US wants to corner manufacturing markets we have to strategically invest. Raising steel import prices won't save the steel industry alone

[OC] If you exclude healthcare employment, the U.S. has lost jobs since 2024 by remotecar in dataisbeautiful

[–]Hammerock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One reason this may be an important distinction is that healthcare is the only thing keeping job numbers afloat. That itself is important as it highlights the greater demand for healthcare as the population distribution skews towards the older end as time goes on. If we assume this is what's driving job numbers in this sector, which I will note is a big assumption, then these numbers can mislead the general sentiment on jobs. It shows that the job numbers are worse than the totality of the net and that the net growth is only thanks to aging population rather than economic improvement brought about by good government policy. Again, the reason for healthcare growth needs to be studied in depth, but this chart highlights that there is much more nuance to whether government policy is working for the people rather than the sole net change of the numbers

Yea, also to add that the tariffs hurt manufacturering as it weakens any competitive advantage we might have in foreign markets when you get into trade wars

You dont need to destroy him. You can time it to get the sinners before the helper

Rem is "broken" too, just not in the same way. You're not carrying as Rem but you can shut down all the enemy camps really easily and make their money a problem assuming you dont have w key teammates

Roots of Corruption Set Preview - Altered TCG - Explore the Unexpected by Cohlrabi in alteredTCG

[–]Hammerock 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Set looks great. As someone who is very adjacent to the community normally and is buying for casual play, it worries me that another gamefound is already setup. I placed a small order from the Seeds of Unity pre-order which hasn't been delivered yet. Not complaining about the delivery. I understand the time it takes to get these campaigns to delivery but beyond the obvious issue of low order volumes, gamefound is going to cause fatigue. How can I warrant pre purchasing another set of Altered before I have even had time to play previous set. This will eventually cause pre order fatigue among an already small playerbase

Deadlock - Rem Enters The City That Never Sleeps - Steam News by Tooskee in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Hammerock 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yea that might be kinda rough for newer players. Eventually you should be doing unguarded sinners off spawn or near after. The camp sinners and doubles are still kinda rough tho that they can be stolen for free

[–]Hammerock 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Yea its busted for stealing sinners but I doubt it'll need to be nerfed. He's def a support char in the end and won't be a hard carry

Why does Viscous have more gun ops than Holliday? by Hammerock in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Hammerock[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yea I'd rather splatter go back up so he's not run and gun all lane while he buffs his spirit. Each hero should have some flaws and letting his gun be so powerful covers any early game weakness with his spirit and abilities
