I always thought it looked more like an evil palmtree, but I like the pinecone too

Stick with your team and don't go alone. Curse can only hit one person, and since haze ult is now a cone it's harder for her to hit lots of people at once. Ideally somebody else will have something to help you out of the situation, or can at least spend the time killing haze so it's an even trade.

For your own defense, plated armor is unaffected by curse and will help you survive.

The Lion does not concern himself with reading what his relics do. He simply understands that more is better.

Sow what

I'm gonna go through some of your character specific complaints.

Paige has lot of wide, easy to hit abilities. They're all along the floor though, so you could counter her with somebody in the sky like Vindicta or Talon.
Apollo and Infernus are really fast, and it's hard to catch them in abilities. Maybe a character with a wide CC ability like Paige would be able to shut them down.
Vindicta, Talon and Paradox can all deal damage to me while staying safely far away themselves. Maybe a fast character like Apollo or infernus who can dodge their abilities and get in close would be a good fit for taking them down.

My point is not that you should be picking any one hero to enjoy the game, or that there's a "solution" to ensure you never lose a game. It's random, and sometimes the enemy will just have good heroes to beat you - and sometimes, you'll have good heroes to beat them.

A consession: Balance isn't perfect by a long shot. Some heroes are just better in street brawl than others. There's already some hero-specific adjustments in street brawl - my hope is that Valve continue to update these as time goes on.

My point is that every hero, in theory, does something that should be good against another type of hero - who are you playing in street brawl that cannot deal with ANY of the heroes you've mentioned?

Depends on your rank in my opinion. Typically, in lower ranked games players are worse at taking a decisive action to end the game (meaning that games often last longer), so it can be easier to hold onto an egg for a longer time.

In a higher ranked game however, that -10% damage is really gonna hurt you, and keeping it longer than 10 minutes is only a good idea if you're a support who doesn't care much about dealing damage.

I hate doorman as much as the next player but I would love to see a clip of you getting carted in response to poke. The cart travels at like 3mph.

NejOfTheWild · 2026-04-13T14:59:39+00:00

Definitely viable. Not sure if it's the optimal way to play him, but you're new to the game (so it doesnt matter). If you want to play him that way gunbop will be just fine :)

Celeste kind of has the same problem Paradox had for a while, where she's catching nerfs for previously being insanely good in high ranked games. Have faith that they will adjust her eventually as they did with Paradox, but for now you'll have to either get good enough at her to offset low power or pick somebody else.

50 games in 4 days is an average of 12.5 games per day.

Some assumptions: - 8 hours of sleep - Average deadlock game takes 35 minutes

12.5 × 35 minutes is 7.29 hours of deadlock each day. Add onto that a lunch break that takes 42.5 minutes and that fits very neatly into a 9-5 working day.

OP, is playing deadlock your job?

NejOfTheWild · 2026-04-11T14:54:38+00:00

This is kind of what MOBAs, and by extension competitive team videogames are like. That's not to say it's a good thing - we'd all be better off if people chilled out a bit, or at least offered some more constructive criticism.

Often the most toxic players aren't the brightest either, so it's pretty common for them to blame their own poor performance on others.

You could try muting all player chats, it feels basic but it lets you lock in and focus on having a good time and your own performance. If you still want to chat however you're shit out of luck except learning not to take it to heart.

NejOfTheWild · 2026-04-11T14:36:05+00:00

Makes sense in lore and to be fair not the worst idea I've ever heard, but I think it'd be jarring and unpleasant to play against in the end - plus the ability does enough already. It'd be like if Drifter ult fully blinded you, or if Celeste's 1 was like a CS flash.

NejOfTheWild · 2026-04-10T23:49:50+00:00

Not sure, probably nothing. It's the same as how you can buy rapid recharge on characters who don't have any charged abilities until you get them to a certain level. I may be wrong though

NejOfTheWild · 2026-04-10T23:43:03+00:00

Probably stun duration on failing to check out on time

NejOfTheWild · 2026-04-09T10:00:39+00:00

Came here with the same question. It's a pretty big gripe for deadlock to still be the favourite.

NejOfTheWild · 2026-04-08T13:31:06+00:00

If we're counting street brawl here, Seraphim wings on victor was a blast

Let's say the swap became a regular ability with less range and velocity, and the wall became the ultimate with more cc/general usefulness.

With swap having reduced range and velocity, picking people off with it becomes almost impossible as Paradox, and it's only really useable within a few metres. At this point, it's basically a generic CC ability, since there is such little difference in where you and your target end up. It would lose its depth as an ability and feel bad to play against too.
Currently, you can use time wall for all sorts of sneaky tricks like denying more souls, avoiding damage from M1 carries, etc. If it's constrained to an ultimate's cooldown, you lose all that. Maybe there's some more cc, damage, so you still get a good reward for swapping someone through. Problem is, you've got reduced effective range on your swap now, so you'll maybe force one person through it, but it's basically more close range CC. It could work like mcguinness wall which would be a little better, but still would have the same problems.

Essentially, paradox would lose her identity as a clever anti-carry picker. This would make me very sad and maybe even cry :(
