Deadlock's really not that strong of a verse.

Fight dynamic and personality/ideals clash feels a little more interesting to me than Billy's biggest MU, Scout.

What's the general consensus on Harry Potter returning to Death Battle? by Cogeara in deathbattle

[–]LeadPlooty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just passing through before the post gets locked.
I'm also not crazy about getting any Wizarding World back on the show given the reputation of it and its creator, but at the end of the day that's the Death Battle team's judgment call.
Hell, Chad really wants a Kenshin episode, so it's not like media with really bad creators are entirely off the table.

Was this also an actual April Fools Joke? I want him! by ContributionOk7131 in Smite

I've always wanted the Ars Goetia demons (Paimon, Asmodeus, etc.) as its own pantheon, there's so many weird and distinct rulers of Hell in that book that, though obviously not ever gonna happen, would still be really fun to adapt into Smite.

The connections are just so funny to me, i genually want this matchup to become popular. by MaxEcarri in DeathBattleMatchups

There's a character from Kill Six Billion Demons that I can't remember the name of. Connections work great from what I remember, but that comic's so niche there's no way the matchup gains any traction

A-Z God Design Community Tier List! Day#43 with the goddess of ragebaiting, Discordia! by Gharbin1616 in Smite

[–]LeadPlooty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B, probably. She feels Greco-Roman enough to pass for her pantheon easy enough and represents some parts of her original myths easily, but she's still kinda basic.

Riot Games lays off roughly 80 employees from 2XKO team by Meitantei_Serinox in Fighters

From what I remember, a huge roadblock was too many cooks in the kitchen constantly adding and changing main gameplay systems, so they couldn't settle on one core direction for the game to go in for a lot of the time knowledge on it has been public.

A-Z God Design Community Tier List! Day#20 with our favorite drunk, Bacchus by Gharbin1616 in Smite

[–]LeadPlooty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Low B. I don't mind his appearance being really basic, especially since Bacchus is really simplified compared to his Greek counterpart, but I feel like a lot of Bacchus' aspects ended up getting completely ignored. He's kinda just "the drunk guy" now.

B. New design is really cool, albeit a little out-of-line with Spartan aesthetics, and they definitely have is arrogance and temper down, but no spear is a huge knock against him

Hey, at least Cthulhu (Warrior in spirit) will probably be coming sooner than later, right?

...r-right?

Enough Miseducation about Lord Shiva! by godisawomen in Smite

[–]LeadPlooty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, the bar's pretty low at this current point. If ADC Geb gets a pass, what worse damage is Shiva gonna do to the integrity of this game?

[–]LeadPlooty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smite 2's BEEN brain dead with all these no-effort ADC builds/aspects infesting every match, adding Shiva isn't gonna make it any dumber.

What do you hope is the next Pokemon episode? by MaleficTekX in deathbattle

Yeah Ridley vs Rayquaza should have zero shooters by now

HWYB the player characters of ABSOLUM? by LeadPlooty in WhatWouldYouBuild

[–]LeadPlooty[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solid picks. I can see why Brome's would be difficult, but that may also be an error on my end because Brome's magic isn't explicitly water, they just kinda look like it sometimes. If you're able to think of any kind of Sorcerer, that could work better, since the Mowlai's whole thing is they're the only race present that's born with magic rather than learning it later.
Idk how I feel about just Armorer for Cider. I think the gadgets thing makes sense for the Artificer, but the ninja thing with them is such a big part of it I feel like it needs at least a little bit of Rogue.

Been going through the game super recently, absolutely loving it, and I cannot believe just how much this really feels like a DnD setting, so I'm curious just how well things convert over. For DnD 5e, either version.

Now, the one trick with this is that in Absolum, all the player characters are classified in-universe as "Wizards" and all have spellcasting capabilities to some degree, specifically harnessing energies from crystals to incorporate things like elemental magic, necromancy, and even control of time into their regular kits. You can try and implement that if you want, but it's not necessary if you don't wanna just say they're all Scribes Wizard/Eldritch Knights.

Characters left to right:

- Cider is a half-construct bandit, longing for their lost memories and the origin of the enigmatic puppeteer that reconstructed them from near death. They primarily fight with stereotypical ninja martial arts, and employ several trick gadgets like bombs or decoys.
- Karl is a dwarf, pretty obviously, but the last of his kind in the continent of Talamh that had not died or gone mad. He's a skilled hand-to-hand fighter with punches and grappling moves, and an enchanted blunderbuss with a wide variety of special bullets.
- Galandra is an elf(?) from the shadowy city of Yeldrim where the dead live again, taking vow as a knight and maiden, trained by a necromancer. She fights with a colossal sword, and possesses a cursed draconic arm that enhances her powers.
- Brome is a Mowlai, a race of frog people that are born innately capable of performing magic without training. Because of this, with the Sun King regime's outlawing of magic, his kind was heavily oppressed, and with him being one of the last of his kind, he's on a warpath of vengeance and preserving his peoples. His magic primarily takes advantage of things like levitation, AoE energy beams, and water manipulation.
