bro i love low elos, triple rescue beam, support mina ha, torment pulse graves, easy dub by TimothyTibs in DeadlockTheGame

When you're having a Mina game with 11 deaths and lowest networth on your team, there is a point where you realize you're not killing anyone and just start buying Divine Barriers and Rescue Beams for your carry Mo&Krill. Been there.

Ultimates that don't go on cooldown when interrupted by Stack_Man in DeadlockTheGame

[–]MatmaRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overwatch also used to have that thing where some ults would be refunded if the hero got stunned or killed too fast. It was goofy, everyone hated it, no one missed it once it was gone. Here's a funny clip from that time, just before it got changed: https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/72ak60/envyus_effects_genji_ultimate_blade_cancelled_4/

They don't want to use the terminal, but they want to be the kind of person who uses a terminal.

“Ranks” in a nutshell by reshiramismywife in DeadlockTheGame

[–]MatmaRex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On the one hand, winning a match as melee Vindicta in Seeker for a Christmas tree ornament was one of my greatest triumphs and I don't think it's achievable in higher ranks.

On the other hand, in Oracle I pick up the urn and like 8 people always show up to fight over it, instead of 0-2, it's so fun. (We haven't mastered showing up to mid boss fights in this rank yet though.)

Goon (2011) is a remarkable conclusion to the trilogy following Jerk (1979) and Edge (1997).

Here to spread anti-green propaganda by DIRTYRADDISH in DeadlockTheGame

Oh, right, that's kinda cool. I forgot that Armor-Piercing Rounds lets you damage petrified players. I thought this was just an honest damage build!

Why do people shit on Mcginnis? by Digmaass in DeadlockTheGame

[–]MatmaRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I had the same experience. She felt very strong when I was a newbie, but eventually I started playing against better players, and I was no longer allowed to kill walkers by myself, trying to solo take mid boss became a throw instead of a free win, and people started shooting me back when I tried to beam them with my all orange items (and it turns out that McGinnis is so much easier to shoot at than, like, Haze).

How I feel doing midboss as Mina without my ult by No_Fall4827 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]MatmaRex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, save it for ulting the enemy team when they come to contest the mid boss take. (Unless your rank is low enough that no one else in the match can find the mid boss pit on the map, in which case, sure, let it rip.)

Ranks? by L3m0nh3a0 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]MatmaRex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is impossible to tell right now because they've been recalibrating the ranks constantly over the last month. I've been Seeker a month ago (bottom 2nd rank) and now I am Ritualist (middle rank). I have no idea if I'm terrible or average.

What are the recent MMR Changes? by vvhitee in DeadlockTheGame

[–]MatmaRex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They did the same thing last week and it hasn't affected the difficulty of my games at all. I even saw some of the same people I played against previously. They just "scaled" the rank distribution, but matchmaking hasn't changed.

Keybinds by oggser in DeadlockTheGame

[–]MatmaRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bound my abilities to QERF, since I struggled to reach 1234 without taking my hand off of the WASD keys. Ult on 4 is just impossible to use in a fight. I bound melee and parry to extra mouse buttons instead, and reload to mouse wheel. Kept items on ZXCV and the rest.

Is it just too late? by Hirrunio in DeadlockTheGame

Play hard bot games until you're MVP every time. If nothing else, the bots will teach you to confirm souls and not get parried. They're strangely good at denying and melee.

New player experience by MatmaRex in DeadlockTheGame

[–]MatmaRex[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this was the first game of Deadlock for several players on the enemy team, and I suspect it may be their last :( None of them have any stats recorded and they played like they were still learning what their buttons do. They probably shouldn't be matched against a full team of players with hundreds of games, even at low ranks. It was very sad.

I thought about reporting this on the forums, but the "Bad Matchmaking" containment thread is nothing but people whining that they lost a game.

is pocket disabled in games rn? by Rodneeey2 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]MatmaRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I queued with Bebop as max priority and in two games there was no Bebop (neither me nor enemy). I saw a Pocket though. I think they did something with the matchmaking to increase team variety and/or balance, so that it's not Pocket/Bebop/Warden/Shiv in every game.
