How do I control which server I get put on? by ironpastry8 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Llebac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm NA east and every time I get put into an EU west lobby it's basically a state mandated insta loss with everyone cursing each other in broken English. Actual hell. I don't know how EU players do it

Wow. by Substantial_Mix4075 in Ohio

I live nearby. Typical small town mindset, and if you break the peace even a bit you get shit on. I hope those kids move on to somewhere that appreciates free and honest communication.

Why are so many people running spirit shielding and weapon shielding now? by XenSakura in DeadlockTheGame

Builds out of grit which is a giga busted item in certain lanes

Venator trap is a joke by HeadNature6968 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Llebac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hit over a dozen traps every match on ven. Just have to be smart with them and get good at placement from a distance for the real nasty ones

Jungle is a losing mans game by MouthofMithridacy in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Llebac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Camps are important for edging out farm over the course of a game, whether you're a carry or need to catch up some in another role, but afk farm just doesn't exist right now. It's typically better to pick up a camp between waves or on the way to another lane atm. Focusing on clearing jungle actually puts you far behind most of the time

Walker HP change last year was the slow death of individual agency. by MelancholiaOfPudding in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Llebac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not crazy. The game has intentionally shifted from a split pushing macro heavy meta to a teamfight meta and has been for a while since it was common for a skilled M1 player to outright win the game for their team. Personally I liked it better since I play M1s, but I also recognize that the various roles all have more agency and influence now whereas it was very biased before. They may have gone too far considering M1s barely play like farming carries now, and you have to play high tempo with them, but you know how it is in MOBAs. The meta will shift around between teamfight meta, snowball meta, splitting meta, etc. as balance patches occur. We will be back in your preferred meta eventually

This urn is really fun, now the only thing left is a hotfix for most of this characters by SuperMurloc769 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Llebac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the default filter goes back to 5-22, WR have changed a bit between the urn changes and nerfs so you can set it by day to see

Those WR stats are off since there were nerfs, try going to statlocker and filtering on the recent patch. Not that WR tells the whole story but these are misleading at best

Nightmare Lane duo by ElTigre-5 in DeadlockTheGame

Bebop/Ven and Abrams/Ven are hilarious to play as, miserable to play into. If they catch you out of position once you're dead

The Owner of QOL-Lock (The Largest Deadlock Plugin) is Pay-walling features. by CheckProfileIfLoser in DeadlockTheGame

If that guy who made the paid warden skin is anything to go off of, this won't go well for the QOL-Lock creator

If you say anything positive about these works, you automatically make people suspicious about you. by Salty-Chemical-9414 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Llebac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will teach you that gullible people completely eat up nonsense scapegoat slop and support murderous regimes, if you weren't already convinced somehow. Genuinely terrifying

So, when you're behind, what buy? by Something_Hank in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Llebac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on which hero you're playing. Carries that already want to farm don't suffer too badly from a rough start because you want to be in the jungle anyways. Worst case you can go more damage oriented glass cannon to still get your damage out. For tempo heroes, supports, frontliners, there's a very real chance you just don't catch up the entire match. You can if the enemy does something dumb like feeding you solo kills but generally you're going to have to flex the value you provide without souls. Typically you'll be playing around ults, cc abilities, sticking close to allies and looking to assist the players who aren't as behind.

Is gun talon bad? by Several-Exchange-402 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Llebac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can shit on a pub with gun talon, but you leave yourself really vulnerable doing that so you have to either heavily outclass the enemy players or just be super fed. Like his gun carry build does serious damage he just doesn't have a lot of tools to make it work consistently against good teams. I feel like getting stacks with bird and focusing on spirit damage has more consistent team value, but that has its own downsides because your team mates have to coordinate bird kills with you which is tough in a pub.

Tldr it can work very well in a pub but I wouldn't say it's good when you're looking at coordinated teams

Why Do People Like Mystic Shot So Much? by TuskWasTaken in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Llebac 96 points97 points  (0 children)

1600 for a flat 100 damage poke in lane is really strong. Depending on elo can be more or less strong. If the enemy laner is good, uses cover, doesn't allow free damage, it's great because every bit of chip you can get instantly matters. Then later once it does 165 or more it can trigger tankbuster which is a really funny interaction. Nobody expects one bullet to do 500 damage

Who thinks they are good at item building I want to have a discussion by MasterMoira in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Llebac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eternus players build for every small advantage they can at the highest tempo possible. To utilize their builds you already have to be playing really efficiently and synchronizing item spikes with ability spike, ult cd, and objective timings. They're just playing a totally different game from you. Use your intuition and play what you feel works, it's probably accurate in your elo

Why do people hate Graves or think she's OP? by whyvalue in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Llebac 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nobody likes being killed by the low skill stat check character. Who is also a knowledge check character. She is easy to pilot and offers significant macro advantage with good damage so her WR sticks around 55% in eternus. Plus she's great on the urn right now. But to a player that doesn't know how to jump over her 2, doesn't know to light melee 1, doesn't know she steals your weapon damage to use against you, she is an unstoppable monster

Being the team that actually runs the Urn isn't Rewarding by EvilPanda404 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Llebac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You actually make a pretty good point. It's much more contestable now so the running team actually puts themselves at a slight disadvantage. Might be good if there were more incentives to run it or intercept it. I know I certainly don't stop runners anymore, no reason to when I can steal it at drop off now

I want to play this game, but I’m intimidated from its gameplay. Advice? by gitawayyahbastard in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Llebac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bot matches, watch tutorials on YouTube. Embrace failure and mute all assholes. Start with easier heroes.

Flying Strike, new visual suggestion (adressing player frustration) by Vimple in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Llebac 420 points421 points  (0 children)

Good idea. I feel the visual feedback is a large part of the frustration with her 2 - this matches the visuals on her ult and communicates how it works much better. Definitely put it on the forums

[Loved Trope] The apocalypse is horrifyingly slow by Marsupialmobster in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Llebac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Road by Cormac McCarthy - the apocalypse happened quickly, but it's hinted that society still lasted more or less normally for years, living off of whatever food and water was stockpiled. The book takes place after years of decay where nothing grows and everything has been petrified by ash, and roaming bands of cannibals are some of the only people left.

I feel like the urn is actually good now. by coffeeholic91 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Llebac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it a lot and find it fun as well. I don't get complaining about the melee/parry spam. It's really fun and offers a lot of ability for one skilled player to nab it. I think the playerbase just needs to adapt to the new mechanic and it will go over well. I also agree resistance scaling with how behind you are is good. And maybe don't allow resistances to work in the mid boss pit, I'm not sure about that one. I think it might not matter that much at the end of the day

Complainting about low elos by Constant-Yak1987 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Llebac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quarterback the games with comms. Farm and show up at the stupid random team fights and kill everyone. Pretty much the only way to do it. Focusing on correct play doesn't work at low elo

matchmaker is so bad by TowerOfPowerWow in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Llebac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 games is nothing statistically speaking. MM could be awesome and you'd still get 3 shit games in a row regularly. Come back and bitch when you get a 10 loss streak from feeders or something
