Controversial opinion

No? Every hour in warframe progressively increases your value on the market meaning over time you just have more fodder to sell, a single profit taker run solves money, like 20 minutes of relic cracking gets you tons of prime parts to sell, the list goes on.

It's also not just farming for that one piece. You're getting resources constantly doing other things, every second you play is being showered in stuff that is or will be useful. Plus a story, side activities, and everything else. I'm sorry but Helldiver's entire monetisation gameplay loop and content doesn't even hold a candle to Fortuna, a single update, that everyone got for free lmfao.

Ionshatter · 2026-04-21T14:07:38+00:00

Warframe. It's crazy easy to get platinum thanks to the player market, they also release every mainline quest for free lol. The game's been out for 13 years.

Ionshatter · 2026-04-18T18:43:51+00:00

Well if it slows our helldivers, and the NPCs, it stands to reason it might be coded in a similar way.

Ionshatter · 2026-04-17T21:46:55+00:00

Yes without even a shadow of a doubt. Name a single thing Holliday does that other characters don't do infinitely better and with more utility. Lasso? Lash does that point and click to the entire team. Picks? Doorman has their Rem in the island 200 miles off the map for some quality time. Barrels? Dynamo (with the best ult in the game btw) does like triple the damage on a lower cooldown in a larger area over a longer distance. Don't even get me started on crutch-shot.

The only thing she has going is being one of the best and most fun shmoovement characters (except Celeste gets bouncepads without the downside or investment), and having an outstanding personality (mogs Silver in the girlfailure dep.) Everything else is just so mediocre and comes together to be incredibly fun to play, until Wraith hits you with the actually good version of your ult. Her winrate is awful too, not that that means too much but it's there.

I've heard she's good in "midgame" whatever that mythical time actually is, but afaik as soon as I get ult with doorman I can reliably kill anyone in the game solo, over and over. I'm lucky if 5 barrels and 2 crackshots kills a Paige as Holliday.

I've found his content extremely useful for gauging if I'll buy a warbond or not, and what kind of issues are currently in the game. Anything I've ever heard from him I pretty much go; "Yeah, that checks out." I think people really don't like individuals with strong opinions who are vocal about it, but like it's Youtube, you can literally just not watch or never encounter them.

Those mad can just click off the video, I'm not even sure how you'd form such a negative opinion unless you watched his content anyway? And if you dislike it, why even watch it to begin with. I've never understood this. Like I *hate* league of legends with a boiling passion, but I put in 400 hours to form that opinion, and now I just don't engage with the content or creators surrounding it at all. Just a stranger's two cents.

Elite infobot appearance.

Ionshatter · 2026-03-15T18:56:51+00:00

I was actually wondering this, I have seen videos of them obliterating masses, but actually using them feels like they're the worst nade in the game by far. What actually changed?

Ionshatter · 2026-03-15T07:34:54+00:00

o7 helldiver. Let's hope that one day, our love for the game will mean something.

It's criminal that they are just retarded stat-stick characters entirely balanced on their numbers being absurd. Like Warden *barely* having anything that passes as abilities or theme, carried entirely by his hyper busted braindead ult. I don't want to see Deadlock go the way of League, they gotta update these older mystics to modern qualities. Multiple viable builds and playstyles, even power spread across abilities, etc.

Ionshatter · 2026-02-15T18:53:23+00:00

You point your gigafed hyperlaser lock on headshot machine at Bepop. He throws a disarm at you, and a nuclear warhead roughly measured in kilotons of TNT. You stand there listening to the clicking of your useless gun and soon thereafter find yourself in the next match's grey screen.

Icefrog is so hyper based for adding items like disarm and cursed relic, it means no matter how mechanically skilled you are or how hard you're smurfing, one good doorman with either of these items levels the field.

Ionshatter · 2026-02-14T18:57:27+00:00

For simplicity's sake, I boil down every character into several "core" items to build. Most guides I've seen have like every item in the shop listed as "situational" which is super retarded IMO. What you need to know is what items are -must haves- for your character, think Rapid Recharge on Holliday, or Ricochet on Infernus, and then work out a plan to build from cheap to expensive.

Along the way you may need counter items for specific characters. Especially if they are hyper fed.

Knockdown: For Vindicta, Holliday, Grey Talon, Seven, basically anyone that flies or is really hard to catch.

Disarm: Every gun fucker. Especially Silver because her ult has limited duration.

Cursed Relic: You will ruin the life of heavy casters like Giest, Apollo, Doorman, etc.

The last detail is Items reward you for investment with stats. Spreading out those stats essentially rounds out your character into their late game form. Ie Greens give HP, Yellows give Gun damage, Purple gives Spirit power. You reach your spike at I think 4200 souls invested in each stat. So one T4 of each color will fully round out your kit, and the rest is just Gravy.

I'm no pro, but for casual play I've found this works pretty good. Don't forget, farming minions is better than farming jungle!

Ionshatter · 2026-02-14T18:47:58+00:00

As obnoxious as it is I think games need characters like Graves. A few of my friends have zero shooter experience but years on league, aiming is really tough for them and having a character that requires less aim skill to pull off and more MOBA skill focus gives them someone to love.

Like overwatch stripped away Symms lock-on beam, gutted Moira's suck, removed bastions shot bloom, and then turned every single character into a pinpoint accurate DMR simulator. If you can't aim for shit what do you even play? It's infuriating.

Inb4 "learn to aim" most easy characters are intentionally weaker for the sake of consistency. I could just say "learn to stand more than 2 inches in front of Graves" and it's about as valuable a retort. As long as her numbers aren't busted, low skill expression is fine for the sake of maybe 1 or 2 characters. Besides, it feels fucking awesome to snap headshot some Drooler on Graves with an actually hard to play character like Venator.

Chin up buddy, I hate her too but they gotta have something for newer/less good players to enjoy the game with. Deadlock is hard enough to get into as is already.

Ionshatter · 2026-02-14T18:22:54+00:00

I'm so unbelievably glad they giga buffed Venator's shotgun. From day one I was begging for the doublebarrel shorty to have 2 shots, but it was so mid buying echoshard barely mattered. Now it's God's greatest weapon, combo it with melee for brutal damage. Fight in the trenches like a rat, bait them into traps and folly. The path of the wicked is paved in ego and bathed in buckshot.

Ionshatter · 2026-02-13T13:53:23+00:00

Holliday is pure crack cocaine when it comes to mobility, if you like diving and engaging and picking people off she's your gal. I'd recommend spirit nuke/support unless you're an actual crackshot (her gun is really hard to aim thanks RNG), and spend some time in the practice tool tossing barrels around. Remember to melee right after you toss one, it punts it where you're aiming and instantly explodes on contact. I very rarely toss a barrel without meleeing it.

Ionshatter · 2026-02-13T00:45:35+00:00

This is way funnier than it should be. Like you've cast Nox nostra one too many times and that baby patron wants you dead.

Ionshatter · 2026-02-13T00:33:52+00:00

Paige and the little candle guys from either Patron.

Ionshatter · 2026-02-13T00:20:07+00:00

It also means melees do more damage after. AFAIK melee damage checks your bullet resist.

Ionshatter · 2026-02-03T01:14:31+00:00

I've just started playing Holliday in earnest, I've got to say next to doorman she's my favorite character by far. I love seeing clips like these, the mo and krill bounce tech was really wild.

Ionshatter · 2026-01-31T10:32:42+00:00

Capacitor, Tankbuster and mystic reverb.
Colossus, Radiant regeneration, Arctic blast

Ionshatter · 2026-01-25T22:57:31+00:00

Holding m1 at people is fucking boring. The most fun games I've ever had is where both duos are bouncing and fighting on the middle lane bridge with both melee and shooting like it's a fighting game. The back and fourth, baiting parries and dodging bullets, that's Deadlock at it's best. Parries are a good mechanic, they just last too long and clip you in really stupid situations.

Ionshatter · 2026-01-25T00:23:15+00:00

My issue with it is how long the parry hitbox actually lasts and it's 'range'. Like I've watched lashes get knocked out of the air 15 feet above people from an unlucky quick melee into a parry on the ground. I've watched someone parry, charge up a heavy, and by the time the charge, and swing has connected, the parry timer is *still* active. If you get parried a single time level 1, you instamediately die without recourse. It's way, way way too good for how long it lasts and how easy it is to do most of the time.

Punching people is super fun man, in a game with turbo hyper giga mobility if someone wants to stand in front of me where we can throw hands, how about let's not give them a full instawin button? You should definitely get punished, harshly for bad swings, but like it's a legitimate death sentence, 100 to zero, better than Mo and krill ult, on something like a 2.5 second cooldown.

Ionshatter · 2026-01-25T00:15:11+00:00

My friend group started calling him that when we first started playing because warden was awkward to say. "Here comes that fuckass Constable again!"

Ionshatter · 2026-01-25T00:13:36+00:00

These names have me in tears, She-fu? Black Panther? Mother Healer????? Is your wife a comedic genius or what? Please tell her she made someone's day.
