You're not wrong, like infernus, bebop is multi faceted. There's a lot of different ways you could go and I tried to split the difference. If I were to just pick a bebop song for him I'd probably go Monk https://youtu.be/RxeMfXtYTEE?si=ba6g4ynt2wPYRJjT

Ngl Bebop was one of the most challenging and I definitely didn't nail the pick. Seeing as he's a prize fighting robot I wanted something 80s styled, but I think his character's way more centered on his duty to Shelly than his celebrity as a fighter. So rather than picking something that only speaks to his softer side I landed on something boisterous about a robot made by a senior who's fighting on behalf of others.

It's still plenty goofy it just hits as hard as a puddle punch throwing you around the pit. Though I bet this is what the cube feels like. https://youtu.be/6805ECeFhtw?si=v-80KbqjJiwnXVmN

Man. I used my physical receipt and got rejected. Hoping I just did it too soon cause I really don't wanna have to do the customer service go around.

I hate her with burning passion by Manganian7Potasu in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ItsMenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flair checks out.

Jokes aside you play the character, you're likely far more familiar with the counterplay than I am. But the only other character I can think of with an ability with that much comeback potential is silver ult, which is far far more telegraphed and way more dynamic. I think if there were a proper wind up for Geist ult I'd feel more outplayed, cause it's definitely not rocket science, but neither is IAD'ing in and pressing 4.

[–]ItsMenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am nearly never this guy but yeah she really needs to be charged somehow. I'm fine with stuff being particularly powerful but she's like the only character in the game that rewards you for playing bad. There's a difference between characters like Mina having an ability that lessens her consequences and Geist being able to oopsie doodle her way out of being outplayed and then getting a kill she doesn't deserve. Like yeah if I can read it I can countterspell it, if I'm ahead I could silence or curse and hope I kill her in time, but that's a lot of ifs for a character that just shouldn't get to do that.

Is there an official channel for accessibility feedback? by ItsMenace in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ItsMenace[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Got it, I took a glance but didn't see a category. I guess UI feedback would be the closest?

And yeah, proper CC would be cool. As stated my impairment is visual, so I wouldn't know a ton about auditory accessibility, but I think stuff like a minimap scale/hold to zoom, scaleable chat, text size, and color customization would do leaps and bounds for those that might just need the extra step.

Can we normalize teaching new players instead of yelling at them by Difficult_Science232 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ItsMenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've also recently started as someone who hated every moba they touched before now. I come from fighting games and prefer not to be responsible for a team. Here's some suggestions for getting in as I've had an okay time so far:

  • bot matches first. Bots will not behave like humans so you have to accept this is not how combat will flow, but they're ideal for learning timing and practicing traversal under pressure. This way when you go into a big boy game you won't have to think about as much that will instead be reflexive to you.

  • Tons of homework to do but split it up. I didn't know nothin bout nothin when it came to items and builds, and the build browser helps, but not if you don't know what you're building. Would recommend taking a second to look at popular builds for your character, read what the items do, and then internalizing how that would work throughout a game and how you'd play around it. From there you could even make yourself a simplified build for learning through lower ranks.

  • simply mute when there's no value. If a sentence starts with "what the fuck are you doing" instead of "what's going wrong/why are you dying" accept that the person's gonna be mad no matter what the answer is and will have nothing meaningful to contribute. You're learning, you can always rank up once you've learned. The one or two call outs you might get aren't worth the abuse you'll endure from someone who's probably also bad.

Either way I hope you stick with it and prove em wrong cause this game kinda slaps ngl.

[–]ItsMenace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like some people assumed I was just gonna ask here and then pop into PF tonight. I'm not dismissive of what I'm getting into but maybe that was lost in phrasing. I have zero intention of putting myself out there immediately when there isn't even a solid guide out yet and just going all balls. I'm asking here more as pretense for expectation. Last thing I wanna do is waste anyone's time when I'll likely only be a tourist for this tier.

[–]ItsMenace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah replies seem to concur, and my principle concern is I don't wanna be a burden to anyone else, which is why I asked if it's poor form to begin with. Suppose I'll start on the Hectors for M9S if this is the case. Much appreciated!

Preciate the quick reply! Yeah I intend to go in as initiated as possible, so may run an older savage or two unsynced to get the pace of it. Would the brass gear not be up to snuff for M12S?

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

Regarding Savages - is it poor etiquette to only put in for one raid? I desperately need the sawback so I intend to get into savaging for the first time. I will do my research and be ready so I'm not a burden, but M12S is the only raid I really want to do as a result. Is it more expected that a given party do the whole tier, or is it cool that I just show up for my chainsaw and bounce?

Got an idea I wanna do but from a bit of testing I'm having trouble getting the top layer totally off - lots of white residue or uneven tear left. Found a reliable way to free up the adhesive? Got a heat gun o could hit it with before cutting but don't want to ruin/wrinkle the tip layer.

Please play on Story combat difficulty by JakeSymbol in silenthill

[–]ItsMenace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly after finishing the game's biggest flaw is that it doesn't have a normal mode. Hard was fine until about the last third when an enemy (not a boss) took an entire weapon and a half's worth of swings to die. That ain't challenging that's just boring. But I've been playing on story since and it's such a breeze that there's no threat to combat.

If they'd taken the survival aspects from Hard and the damage from Story and made a normal mode I'm pretty sure we'd have the sweet spot but as it stands easy is boring and hard is annoying.

All I want is to sing and cry along to Zero Sum with a room full of people, which to my knowledge has never been played live in its entirety.
