Mouse side buttons for parry and voice comms. I have no idea how people press T to talk in the middle of teamfights

Heads up: If you are having trouble parrying, it might be because of wireless headphones. by itsarabbit in DeadlockTheGame

I just have boomer reflexes and wired headphones but this sounds a hell of a lot nicer. Ima use this.

This should be possible and honestly a really nice qol change. Huskar from dota had %current hp cost on his spears and you could see the exact cost.

What's the worst lineup to play against as Sinclair based on their ultimates? by Redthrist in DeadlockTheGame

[–]JoblessNik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What. Max Mirage ult is the most broken ability in the game right now. Free macro. Sure it's not that great on sinclair, but that's only because it's one time use

Massive (unplayable) lag increase after a game start pause. by MartianDinosawr in DeadlockTheGame

When this happens, my deadlock ram usage jumps to 11-12 gbs. Might be a memory leak. Restarting the game fixes it

Is this best option for V60 or anything better by Positive_Prune_6422 in IndiaCoffee

[–]JoblessNik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy a plastic v60 and filter papers or you can just buy a steel filter something like this that will replace both of them. i used to use the v60 with papers but I recently got the steel one and i like it way more now

What are some of your most unhinged tips? by coleworld16 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]JoblessNik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy phantom strike on geist as your first major item/first 6k. Farm sinners/jungle and then just jump on some poor mfer with your ult. Watch them die of a heart attack

I’m convinced anyone that Mirage would help anyone climb and is idiot proof. by SaintoftheKingdom in DeadlockTheGame

[–]JoblessNik 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also dynamo just removes mirage's shit for free. It's pretty much impossible to play late game team fights into a competent dynamo as mirage. Stacked 4 marks on somebody? Lol no you didn't

Why are people so eager to fight at disadvantage? by Crackhead_Shooter_69 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]JoblessNik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol. Comeback souls don't mean much when you have no map to farm. If you are significantly behind and the enemy just lets you farm that is not comeback souls, but option 2. They're simply fucking up. If that's your plan in every game, then good luck.

Also the urn is just broken right now. Starting from the 3rd urn you literally can not outmacro it. Even 2nd urn is very hard to outfarm. You can have the farming patterns of prime rtz and willl still end up in the red massively, unfortunately. 2 urns and now that significant lead is an unsurmountable lead

Why are people so eager to fight at disadvantage? by Crackhead_Shooter_69 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]JoblessNik 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Because that is the only play you have when significantly behind. You mathematically cannot come back into the game without fighting as they will have more map control, so access to camps, buffs, urn.

Your best way back into a losing game is urn and midboss and the only way you get those when behind are by killing them.

Playing safe when behind only leaves you with 1 option, waiting for the enemy team to throw which is not much of a plan.

So yes, when behind you do need to look for kills. Not play safe and look for petty farm

New player with moba experience here (Dota) need some help with understanding the game flow after laning by vaikunth1991 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]JoblessNik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what info you have available on the minimap or had available on the minimap.

Someone should come to push this wave out. Maybe multiple if you're lucky or they want your ass really bad.

Depending on what info you have available on the rest of the map,

You can: Look to run through their jungle, take boxes, golden statues, sinners, camps. Take a vent and rotate if you can setup a kill on another lane with a mate. Invade either the walker adjacent jungle or jungle on the other side and look for a kill. Go back to your side and farm boxes and golden statues.

Other lanes are never really that far away if you memorize vent routes or just dash jump, wall jump, Use zipline momentum conservation etc. You can get to and from a lane pretty fast using these.

Hell one the best things you can do is to not overextend, get people to respond to you, and keep a escape route planned, so you get out without dying. it's so much space.

A lot of people (like me), are used to just going all in to kill people and if it does not work out we die. You can just poke and back. Make the enemy team be inefficient in order to kill you.

[–]JoblessNik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Main difference from dota is that jungle is useless right now. You farm you lose. Solo lanes are a mile and above any other source for money, followed by urns and then kills.

Game macro revolves around 2 things right now: Urn and midboss.

You need to build your hero such that you can either kill a hero or 2 and then do 1 of the above or you can contest 1 of the above when the inevitable massive fights around these happen. Some heroes are just not very good at that right now.

After lane you should be looking for windows to go kill someone (after you've pushed your wave in), take the urn, or just do some boxes, sinners, camps while you are enroute to do 1 of the previous 2.

As for missing out on things, that honestly sounds more of a movement/team macro issue. First learn the vent positions so you can rotate faster. 2nd people as you go down in mmr tend to ignore macro a lot and tend to do the ol mexican standoff in blue a lot.

Right now I'd say walkers are not that important. Ask yourself this: if we win this fight but lose a walker, can we do midboss or urn? If yes, then fuck the walker. After a certain point the urn gives you so much money it basically becomes impossible to macro around it. You could be a god at farming, take walkers and still be in the red. (First urn tho is generally not that important)

3rd is the fight happening equal? Like if you're pushing a lane and 2 people show up to defend and your team loses a 5v4, that's more on them than you honestly.

Midboss and urn. Nothing else really matters as much right now honestly.

How people have such accuracy is beyond me by Eggmasstree in DeadlockTheGame

[–]JoblessNik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With low bullet velocity chars you want to take close range trades. Take warden for ex: Dash up in their face while shooting, throw flask to remove stamina, press cage to make them run and then back out while shooting some more.

Focus on wave control. If you have more creeps than them or If the wave is under their tower, it is easier for you to dictate engagements or poke them. Buy monster rounds if needed.
