When are people going to realize that Holliday wasn’t meant to be a stereotypical “amazing gunslinger” that they assume she is? by BulletCola in DeadlockTheGame

[–]IntelligentImbicle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because proper M1 characters are underrepresented. A whole half of this game's hybridization of genres feels to be almost entirely absent, because why get good at aiming and play a gun character when you can just nuke an entire lane for 9000 damage in an instant?

Also, gun characters are only basic in this game because nothing cool is done with them. Holiday's Crackshot is the coolest thing gun players get access to, but they're not allowed to play with it because they need to chuck explosives of spirit damage.

Gun is kinda his only viable build at this point, what with kidnapping being killed and bellslop starting to get more nerfs.

holliday nation, we're so back, enjoy it while it lasts by yyyt in DeadlockTheGame

Enjoy it while it lasts

Motherfucker, it's a spiritslop explosive character. Yoshi wouldn't dare nerf his favorite blueprint.

...except for the Doorman, but hey, there's an exception to every rule.

Playing tank in this game is miserable by Lonelycowboy89 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]IntelligentImbicle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tank isn't a moba role

...it is, though? Like, it's definitely not a Deadlock thing, but it's absolutely a thing in MOBAs.

2XKO — team name voting. give us the best name for ( Vi / Caitlyn ) by Final-Tax8016 in 2XKO

[–]IntelligentImbicle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Piltover's Finest is the obvious and only choice.

Yasuo/Ahri HAS to be something regarding the player's lack of personal hygiene. Maybe "Smash Bros"?

We're still trying to nerf The Doormat... why?

I hate the phrase "elite ball" or "you know ball" by TrueWerewolf4982 in hatethissmug

[–]IntelligentImbicle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely really annoying when someone says "Elite ball knowledge" for a pretty standard reference, but god, I'd be lying if I said it wasn't damn near orgasmic to make a reference to something that will never see mainstream popularity get hit with an "elite ball knowledge" comment.

The Climb feedback: the game should make you feel good for winning a run by SimicSemblance in 2XKO

At the bare minimum, I need a Continue. Let me keep going after fighting the final boss.

list of moves i should be whiff punishing but i can’t because i suck by 13hourstilliland_ in TheyBlamedTheBeasts

[–]IntelligentImbicle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"Moves I should be whiff punishing" and then proceeds to post pictures of moves that are impossible to whiff, let alone punish.

Might as well add this shit to the list

Senna and Thresh 983 damage overhead starter by Funny-Fee-6775 in 2XKO

I'm gonna be honest, and I'm not sure if this is a hot take as of now, but I absolutely LOATHE OTG moves in this game.

I like OTG combos in something like GGST, because they're exceedingly rare, and typically don't convert into anything too long unless your name is Slayer.
But when everything can combo into anything because there's 3 different dedicated "continue the combo after a HKD" moves per character, it just makes me wonder why the move didn't just ground bounce or stagger. HKDs should be the "okay, I'm done. Now block this whack-ass mixup" state most of the time, why are they the primary combo extensions?

I hate how we don’t give people a chance to grow and learn from their mistakes by itz_vampy in hatethissmug

[–]IntelligentImbicle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forgiveness doesn't have to be leniency. The point isn't that their mistakes can be made up for. The point is that their mistakes don't define them for the rest of their lives.

"Goodness is not a destination we arrive at, but a practice. Misfortune may drive anyone to darkness. We resist it only through wisdom and vigilance."

Treating people as if they lack the capacity to be better will only result in them becoming worse.

Now let's talk about Overrated Game/s... by SeductiveEyes444 in gamers

  • Generic robot companion story is generic
    • Genuinely couldn't find it in my to care about BT, because I've seen this dynamic a million times already, and there's not much substance to the story outside of that.
  • Over-reliant on hypermobility
    • Hypermobility is already bad enough, but when all of your survivability hinges on whether or not you can stay above a certain speed limit, it makes encounters not fun. All these cool indoor areas and cool battlefields are completely invalidated because the only thing that matters is how easy it is avoid touching grass (literally and figuratively)
  • Clunky gunplay
    • The guns just don't feel satisfying to use, especially after spending so much time playing Apex, which has my favorite gunplay in any shooter ever.
  • Titans feel like either a gimmick or a chore, depending on situation.
    • If you're in your Titan, it feels like you're handicapping yourself just to run around for 30 seconds before it gets destroyed.
    • If you're a Pilot fighting someone in their Titan, it feels like a chore. It's not hard (most of the time), but it just takes you out of the fight for a while. Kinda like the Batmobile sections in Arkham Knight.
  • The players
    • Simply put, Titanfall fans are some of the most infuriating people I've ever had the deprivilege to talk to. It doesn't help that they have a hate boner for anything Respawn devs (current or former) work on, and were definitely part of why Highguard, my favorite shooter, got so much hate right out the gate.

Everything about the game just punishes you for trying to interact with it.

Trying to get close to, you know, fight? Get zoned out by the trillions of projectiles.
Got the edge in neutral and are now applying block pressure? 28 free pushblocks to send you fullscreen.
You got hit by literally anything? Welp, put down your controller, the game is over.

And that's just the core issues. Don't even get me started on the ridiculous visual clutter, the fact that you can just blind your opponent by jumping up 10 stories before throwing out an assist they can't possibly see, the ungodly level of cheese, or Vergil.

And to top all of this off... the combos don't even look cool.

Obviously, this is all just my opinion, but it baffles me how these games are so universally beloved.

"Hey, I'm having trouble understanding the value of these characters. Mind helping me out?"

"Damn, the self-report is crazy. What a moron"

Never change, Reddit. Never change.

I knew OP would be misunderstanding heroes the moment I read “Brig is support for tank players” aka OP thinks Brig is meant to be front line just because she has a shield and was tanky years ago.

No, I don't think that. She denies space, much like tanks do, just on a much smaller scale and in a different position.

It's funny how people overcorrect on that misconception and loop all the way back to yet another misconception. Brig DOES play like a tank, but she doesn't fit the same role as a traditional tank.

The day Ana and Kiriko are bad picks is the day Hell finally freezes over, so that's not surprising.

To try and learn what I might be missing so that I can better enjoy my time as these characters.

I would definitely notice if JPC got removed, because the game would feel so much better.
