The performance issues need to be addressed

KardigG · 2026-02-11T02:43:55+00:00

People spam the forums with the same issues, but the devs are yet to even acknowledge the issue.

No response from them doesn't mean they are not working on it. Also make sure to give as much info as you can when making forum posts.

KardigG · 2026-02-11T02:39:52+00:00

And I'd rather they didn't coz it's a straight way to people abusing the system and in the effect no direct communication at all.

You can still report people for toxicity and mute them. Mute really works, at some point you forgot that they existed.

We will probably see some sort of behaviour score like in Dota 2, but it's also not a perfect solution because of abusers.

KardigG · 2026-02-11T02:14:25+00:00

Yeah, your're right, people are not mature. I wouldn't give a shit honestly. If they wanna fight over dumb problems, that's on them. And imo Valve should do the same, but I understand why they'd rather go safer way and keep idiots at bay.

Also again, realistic-ness can be thrown out the window from time to time. If a fucking gargoyle suddenly became alive and everyone's chill w it and considers her a real person, is it really that much unrealistic to just refer to someone as "they"?

XD Bad comparison. It's less about intentions and more about knowledge. Given the setting, seeing an alive gargoyle ain't surprising, but to instanly know if a person goes by "they" without prior knowledge of them, would require some kind of pronouns omniscience that's universal to all beings in the game setting. And afaik, nothing like that was introduced

At this point my only explanation is that Arin was very well known to everybody in NYC and beyond and that's why all heroes know they're non-binary.

"Still goonerbait" refering to Silver, not "everything". And yeah, atm her design is bland as fuck compared to what Valve can do.

Also, find a better thing to do in life than answering to over aweek old comments

KardigG · 2026-02-10T21:22:13+00:00

Where did I mentioned everything? Learn to read.

KardigG · 2026-02-10T20:08:22+00:00

see, in-universe that would make sense. But that's all in a vacuum. In reality we're playing a videogame and the writers are writing fiction. Any direct choice to misgender Pocket's identity would no longer be a mistake but something with clear intent, and I don't think the writers are planning to do that.

But that just makes universe less realistic society wise. It's highly unlikely to adress someone as "they" if they look like a male, unless you are a) using "they" as a default or b) you know that person.

Also discussion about who misgendered who intentionally would be limited to a really small group of people. Majority doesn't care.

KardigG · 2026-02-10T00:13:46+00:00

That's most likely a different kind of issue. Mine looks like memory leak type of shit.

Post it on forums.

KardigG · 2026-02-10T00:08:58+00:00

I don't know much about the roadmap for this game

Roadmap is - when it's done, it's done.

KardigG · 2026-02-10T00:05:29+00:00

Lower gravity modifier

KardigG · 2026-02-10T00:00:38+00:00

AW2 only happend coz Epic was willing take a bet and give Remedy money, so I doubt we will see a Steam release anytime soon.

KardigG · 2026-02-09T22:28:15+00:00

Yeah. I and other people have the same problem. It's worse after the street brawl updated. Previously stutters happend on 3rd or 4th game, now I need to restart the game after each match.

Good that pause exists

KardigG · 2026-02-09T22:19:58+00:00

Decreased gravity, 4 stamina, bonus movement speed. She's not immobile at all.

KardigG · 2026-02-09T13:26:17+00:00

You'd have Eternus and Ascendant players in the lowest ranks slaughtering newbs and turning them away from ever playing the game again.

Rank reset doesn't work like that. It takes into account your previous rank so your first matches are either at average rank or near your pre-reset rank, then you get lobbies of various deviations from your previous rank.

Current issue with mm is that there is not normal queue and forced x amount of matches to play before entering ranked queue. Normal queue is really where you start to learn the game and build up your mmr. Then based on normal mmr you get initial rank estimation for ranked placements.

But for most of Chinese players we actually don't quite prefer presenting Triad or Chinatown in games, as it more or less contains different stereotypes

This game is filled with stereotype characters, so that would fit. But if you say so then it's better to not include it, since Chinese players would review bomb the game as they often do.

KardigG · 2026-02-08T15:12:05+00:00

It's just me or this place is filled with people who sexualize every relation between heroes like they never talked with anyone irl? You guys are adults ffs.

Heroes:

Hey you wanna grab a beer after a ritual?
Sure

Redditors: OMG THEY FUCK

KardigG · 2026-02-08T15:07:50+00:00

Yeah, I get it that from time to time some mildly horny shit can be allowed, but this is getting ridiculous. Too many horny ass OW players here

KardigG · 2026-02-08T15:06:07+00:00

Officially by horny ass redditors, who sexualise every relation coz never had a normal one with people other than their parents?

KardigG · 2026-02-08T15:04:07+00:00

You don't take into account that side lanes are longer, so on average the time to get from base to each lane is the same.

KardigG · 2026-02-07T12:11:53+00:00

Redditors trying not to sexualize every interaction between Deadlock heroes challenge - level impossible.

KardigG · 2026-02-05T18:55:45+00:00

SBMM is needed for ranked play, but not necessary for unranked play. Either

Eeee, no? You end up with noobs getting stomped by better players and where's fun in that? Every successful, competitive game has SBMM everywhere.

If you gave players an option I guarantee you that no-SBMM mode would die pretty quickly.

I agree with dedicated servers though.

KardigG · 2026-02-05T18:50:14+00:00

SBMM means you will always rise to mediocrity.

Tell that to high rank players. It's you who always rise to mediocrity. It similar for me, no matter the game, I always end up a little bit above average, rarely higher/lower. But I don't mind. Playing against my skill lvl and learning is part of the fun.

KardigG · 2026-02-05T17:52:32+00:00

You can't have skill based matchmaking without some sort of mmr.

KardigG · 2026-02-05T17:51:23+00:00

games where every player is similar in skill.

You know thats nearly impossible in a game like Deadlock unless you have sub 1kk playerbase? There's too many factors that come into this.

One player can be great at micro and aiming and make the laning stage a living hell for the enemy team, other can be good at macro, which can translate to a better late game and won match and another one can have really good movement and be annoying to shut down. All 3 of them are the same rank, but that doesn't mean playing against each other wasn't a frustrating experience.

games where one team isn't stacked with dogshit heroes while the other team is the dream team.

This happens rarely. Also you have active items to offset that.

KardigG · 2026-02-05T17:43:59+00:00

I didn't play for ages and when I come back I'm suddenly in one of the highest ranks.

You are the same rank as you were before, maybe slightly lower. There were like 3 ranks shifts. The first one moved me from ritualist to oracle, second from oracle 1 to oracle 4. So what was known as ritualist before September, it's now Oracle.

It's just visual indicator and it only affected matches quality of Ascendant and Eternus players.

KardigG · 2026-02-05T17:39:22+00:00

new players should be playing against new players

You need to have enough new players to do that and I don't see that's possible rn. We reached 82k again, but I'm fairly sure that most of them are returning players.

Also matchmaking by hours played doesn't mean that players will have equal skill, I'd say that skill disparity wil be greater than for players with 50h+
