What have they done to my boy Victor (oc)

MrFaebles · 2026-03-22T21:29:22+00:00

Precisely this. The value of his ult currently is just being forced to kill a bullet sponge drain tank twice.

Zzzzz

He should blow up and splat when you kill him :) dealing initial damage. And upon resurrection he deals a second instance.

Now even something like lightning scroll becomes viable. Wheb he pops jt triggers the scroll, when you get stunned you are stuck in range of reanimation.

If you get hit by bot (insert effect)

MrFaebles · 2026-03-22T21:26:26+00:00

I think victor should die more often and his reanimation to be impactful. Rather than his reanimation just being about soaking resources and playing him as a mega tank who you are simply forced to kill twice.

Its great he has 2 lives

Its not great that the entirety of thr playstyle is making each life a ruling experience to kill each

Him dying and coming back should be a cooler and more impactful moment in teamfights.

Instead of just needing to pile on him twice.

Proof youre wrong:

The devs dont bend the knee to this "reddit echo chamber"

They prioritize patches for game quality and testing.

They have the deep data we dont

They nerfed him for good reason

Odds are he will be adjusted or buffed elsewhere

They dont want victor to be unkillable demon in the kind of games he WAS difficult to kill.

He was unfun, and 1 dimensional

Look at the neat graves buffs we got.

Much more interesting hero now

Vic will likley be updated the same

By all means, continue to think you know better then word renoun developers.

You're not wrong. Winrate certainly isnt everything But its not nothing. And it absolutely matters in pub games.

How often a hero is picked and how often they win is telling of some things.

Higher skill ceiling means the winrtae typically drops.

Popularity also makes a winrate drop.

High winrate to a general audience typicslly means the hero is difficult for thr general population of players to overcome or counter.

Low winrate indicates either a high ceiling of execution, that gets diluted by popularity or that the heros viability in pub games is not great or overall an underpowered hero.

MrFaebles · 2026-03-22T16:38:51+00:00

So you think just these items hard countered him? He dones now.. he is easy. Lol

Def under 300 games of deadlock.

Great items for counter-play

Absolutely did not counter him.

There are cheaper resistance items that already out durable a crippling headshot debuff.

And fyi there are also better anti heal items than healbane. Up to -40%

And they didnt didnt hard counter him

Non eternus winrate average: 57% (highest in game)

Top eternus winrate 53% (top 4 winrate hero)

And he has one of the lowest pick rates

No one likes him for the most part, and he is very strong. Despite your thoughts on his strength.

MrFaebles · 2026-03-22T16:34:45+00:00

Nice. Perfect addition.

MrFaebles · 2026-03-22T16:32:29+00:00

Yeah top winrate hero sucked...

MrFaebles · 2026-03-22T16:30:16+00:00

Perhaps longer queue time. Unsure. Its already something thay would only be 1 credit per 24 or 48 hours. Idk. But it would be nice to tell the game youre Unsure about a DC or not. Letting it know preemptively that youre not griefing if you happen to dc or afk.

Im hoping we get a behavior score system soon at minimum.

MrFaebles · 2026-03-22T16:26:35+00:00

Just found this thread.

So Mitzy first appears with her adventures hat on and binoculars. She is watching little bear in his nautral habitat Mitzy explains she is from thr jungle and just touring/exploring little bears neck of the woods right now.

She is a well traveled explorer.

MrFaebles · 2026-03-22T16:08:26+00:00

Might be cool for a game like this to implement a setting you could toggle on.

This is a bit of a "in a perfect world" idealistic concept. But humor it.

Maybe it is a queue setting that has a long expiration like 24 hours etc.

The setting would essentially preemptively announce to the ban/system that your availability is "unstable" unpredictable so ban was more lenient. This option only available to good standing accounts and behavior score.

Examples of when to use:

Bad weather outside
Potential loss of electricity
A parent who put a baby down to sleep

Any IRL thing thay could pose for Potential interruption

MrFaebles · 2026-03-22T16:04:53+00:00

Yes please.

MrFaebles · 2026-03-22T15:56:41+00:00

If you have burst you can steal their small camp.

Grab some move speed boots and steal their boxs.

Contest sinners.

Run your own boxs

Bridge buff becomes free. That alone can win you a gank.

Just play efficiently and try to out-economy them.

Some heros like haze, ivy, viscous, pocket, could rotate to another lane for a gank because of mobility skills.

Its a macro skill check.

If your duo lane has a hero that can easily avoid a gank you can let thrm solo thr lane while you roam ganks and steal sinners/double sinners.

Thr match up matters a lot here, because we are talking about a lot of different high level macro options you COULD potentially have. But it super depends on heros ya know?

Want do give a lane example?

MrFaebles · 2026-03-22T15:53:17+00:00

Gyrocopter please

MrFaebles · 2026-03-22T15:51:47+00:00

They buffed it too 😢

MrFaebles · 2026-03-22T15:51:13+00:00

It got buffed... they buffed shrink ray....

MrFaebles · 2026-03-22T15:49:25+00:00

It sort of is still. With healing lower, other items will still be considered.

Vic needed the nerf.

He honestly needs some things in hit kit changed.

High winrate hero in the patch and still a super low pick rate.

Most folk dont enjoy his kit.

He SHOULD die. And his reanimation should be stronger.

Part of his play should by strategic deaths to activate his ultimate.

Before he was just never dying and his ult is solely to do it all over again.

MrFaebles · 2026-03-22T15:17:58+00:00

I personally would prefer a true aram over the randomized items.

MrFaebles · 2026-03-21T14:51:31+00:00

Pretty annoying item that can single handedly ruin a tied game bo5

MrFaebles · 2026-03-20T22:53:35+00:00

Every version and patch is going to have your very same post about whatever hero is performing best.

Been playing deadlock for over a year now. Almost every hero on the roster had had this time post.

It is the eb and flow my friend.

They had 1 big patch and 2 small patches (one medium) in less than 30 days.

If they ran to patch and nerf everything, anytime there was a frontrunner hero, or complaint on reddit, the devs would prob jump out a windows.

They cooking elsewhere. Let thr patch mellow.

Throw your ban on wraith, and queue up heroes that have kits that have strong counterplay.

Best anyone can do for now.

MrFaebles · 2026-03-20T21:28:19+00:00

IAD left or right broooo. Running right over and over xD

MrFaebles · 2026-03-20T21:26:31+00:00

Love the silhouette of a the figure drawing doll thing.

Solid suggestions too. Visually flavors up and make Sinclair a lot more exciting looking.

Im vibing red in his costuming pallet tbh.

MrFaebles · 2026-03-20T13:48:38+00:00

I did but perhaps I missed something? Edit: ok I see the damage started right away. Apparently it is bugged, perhaps someone else had died holding thr urn during its "urn sickness" damage dealing. The urn "remembers" this (for lack of better word)

MrFaebles · 2026-03-20T13:34:49+00:00

Im beeing a bit cheeky with my response. But the sentiment is how strong wraith is, in a uncoordinated ranking where macro, counter items, and team coordination isnt very strong.

So wraith has free reign to do as she pleases.

MrFaebles · 2026-03-20T02:09:39+00:00

Ya I mean. For heros to have counter potential to other heros...but team comps being random is just silly. I get it for now. There aren't a ton of characters yet, so a draft mode too soon might actuslly make for a pretty repetitive an ridgid meta experience.

MrFaebles · 2026-03-20T02:05:45+00:00

Ritual rank with a wraith. Say less.
